Chapter 62 Chapter 62 Pain
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Li got on the elevator from the garage and received a call from Ruan Xiangyi. "Madam, what's going on?"
"Sister Xia Li, can I ask you a favor?" Ruan Xiangyi asked embarrassedly on the phone.
Xia Li: "Just say it."
Ruan Xiangyi told her everything that had happened today and asked her to help find a lawyer for her friend. Xia Li couldn't believe she'd hit someone. She thought the woman, who usually seemed so well-behaved and gentle, would actually hit someone. She immediately contacted a lawyer and asked, "Do you want me to speak to Mr. Zhao?"
"Don't tell him, I can handle it myself."
Xia Li didn't ask any more questions and walked straight to her office in her high heels. "Okay, I've given your business card to the lawyer. He'll be here later."
Ruan Xiangyi thanked him softly: "Thank you."
The lawyer contacted by Xia Li arrived quickly. After understanding the truth of the matter, the lawyer immediately started negotiations with the other lawyer.
The complicated part of this matter is that the girl Guo Wen was protecting was indeed the other party's girlfriend. Now the other party insisted that they were just joking and accused Guo Wen of being jealous of intimacy and deliberately provoking her.
Guo Wen was almost mad at the girl. She was like a mute and didn't say a word when the fight was so fierce just now. It was only when they arrived at the police station that she timidly admitted that the bastard was her boyfriend.
Damn, who is this person?
That jerk's name was Zhang Qi. His family owned several bathhouses and hotels, and he'd been a playboy ever since he was little, relying on his family's wealth. He sat there with his legs crossed, slovenly, convinced they couldn't do anything to him, while provoking Guo Wen.
Wang Yinxue was beside herself, utterly frantic, unsure what to do. Guo Wen covered her eyes, silently wiping away tears. She was so angry she was crying. She was physically and mentally exhausted. Why had she gotten so unlucky? Ruan Xiangyi held her in his arms and calmly asked, "Lawyer Wang, is this a serious matter?"
Lawyer Wang gave her a gentle smile, reassuring her: "Don't worry, this matter can be easily resolved."
It is a fact that the other party hit someone, and this is not a difficult matter.
Lawyer Wang asked his client whether he had any other demands besides an apology, such as mental compensation.
Guo Wen clenched her fists, her eyes red as she said, "I don't have any other demands. I just want him to apologize to me."
Zhang Qi scoffed disapprovingly, "Apologize? Are you delusional? Why should I apologize? Not only did you interrupt my girlfriend and I, you also verbally abused me. Even a slap would be considered light. You're still students, right? So what if you hire a lawyer? I have plenty of money to fight you. I can play with you slowly, so don't come begging me when the time comes."
After hearing his threats, Wang Yinxue was frightened. She didn't have the time or money to do that. She pulled Ruan Xiangyi's hand and retreated: "Xiangyi, why don't we just forget it? We can't win."
Ruan Xiangyi held her hand tightly and patted it twice, signaling her not to worry. She had learned a lot today, actually encountering such a scoundrel.
Zhang Qi had been eyeing this woman for a long time, and the slap still hurt. He turned to his lawyer and said, "I want to sue that woman. She slapped me, and my whole body still hurts. I want her to compensate me for the emotional damages."
Guo Wen raised her face, her fingers trembling: "If you want to attack, come at me, it's none of other people's business!"
Wang Yinxue was like an ant on fire, running back and forth anxiously, her eyes red with fear. "Wenwen, we won't sue. That way, the other party won't hold Xiangyi responsible either. How about we just reconcile?"
Zhang Qi raised his eyes lazily: "Who are you? Did I say I would let her go? Sorry, even if you withdraw the lawsuit, I will sue her. It really hurts me."
"How about you blow it for me? Maybe if I'm in a good mood I won't sue you." He raised his eyebrows at Ruan Xiangyi.
Guo Wen let go of Ruan Xiangyi's hand and tried to stand up, but she held him down. Ruan Xiangyi looked calmly at the girl next to Zhang Qi and asked sincerely, "What do you like about him?"
The girl moved her lips but couldn't speak for a long time. Zhang Qi impatiently shook off her hand and stared at Ruan Xiangyi provocatively: "Why, you like me? It's not impossible. If you beg me or kiss me, I will consider letting you go. How about it? Otherwise, you can only wait for my lawyer's letter."
Guo Wen couldn't help herself any longer and stood up with red eyes: "You bastard!"
Zhang Qi looked at the policeman beside him, feeling weak and helpless: "She wanted to hit me."
Ruan Xiangyi pulled Guo Wen to sit down again. She was of course angry, but she had to remain calm.
Ruan Xiangyi looked at Lawyer Wang and said, "It's up to you. If you have any requests, please talk to my lawyer."
Lawyer Wang confirmed with the other party: "Are you sure you want to sue Ms. Ruan Xiangyi?"
Zhang Qi stroked his chin and said lazily, "Of course I confirm. So your name is Ruan Xiangyi, I'll remember you."
Lawyer Wang shook his head and curled his lips. This person had hit a wall.
Guo Wen cried and said, "I'm sorry, Xiangyi. I've caused you trouble. I don't want him to apologize. I want him to withdraw the lawsuit. I'm willing to reconcile with him. I really am."
Ruan Xiangyi helped her wipe away her tears, her brows softening: "Wenwen, believe me, it's really okay."
Ruan Xiangyi didn't expect that they were invited in for tea after a fight, and that their family members needed to sign to pick them up when they left. Fortunately, there was a lawyer there, who took them out of the police station.
While standing on the roadside waiting for a bus, Ruan Xiangyi answered a phone call.
Wang Yinxue, still holding her schoolbag, was still terrified. She asked anxiously, "What should we do? How about we take the initiative to reconcile with him? If he calms down, he won't sue us."
Wang Yinxue had come from the mountains and was timid and cautious, so they understood. But Guo Wen was furious at being so cowardly. Ruan Xiangyi was right; they couldn't suffer in vain and be bullied. "Why are you always thinking about reconciliation? We're the ones who've suffered now. Didn't you hear what that bastard said? Even if I withdraw the lawsuit, he's going to sue Xiangyi. Why should we put ourselves in such a position and let someone like him humiliate us?"
Wang Yinxue: "That's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean? People are bullying us, but you always want to back down. Will you never encounter other difficulties in your life? Do you have to back down every time you encounter one? Do you have to accept your fate every time you are bullied?" Guo Wen was furious when she thought of what had just happened. "And you just said you wanted to delete the video. What gives you the right to delete it? Don't you ever think about me? I was bullied, but you didn't seek justice for me. You just wanted to make things easier. Was the slap I received in vain?"
Wang Yinxue explained: "The situation was urgent at the time. I was afraid that he would do something to hurt you again."
"Then you should keep the video so I can have evidence to seek justice."
"But……"
"I know what you mean." Guo Wen interrupted impatiently, "You're worried that keeping your file will hinder your future path to the civil service exam."
Wang Yinxue's face instantly turned cold: "Do you really have to think of me this way?"
Guo Wen shrugged and asked calmly, "What should I think? Your behavior has disappointed me."
"Whatever you think." Wang Yinxue turned around.
Ruan Xiangyi came back from the phone and found that the atmosphere was not right. She looked at the two people's faces and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Guo Wen didn't want to bother her with this kind of thing: "Nothing, you finished your call."
Ruan Xiangyi hummed and looked at Wang Yinxue, "Yinxue?"
Wang Yinxue didn't say anything and ignored her completely.
Guo Wen frowned and said bluntly, "Are you kidding me? I'm the one arguing with you, not Xiangyi. How can you be so cold and violent towards her?"
Wang Yinxue was too lazy to pay attention to her and ignored everyone.
Guo Wen was furious at the bastard just a second ago, and now she was disgusted by this kind of person. She almost cried again.
Ruan Xiangyi was caught in the middle and was in a very difficult situation.
After getting in the car, Ruan Xiangyi took the initiative to ease the atmosphere: "I have booked a restaurant, shall we go eat directly?"
Guo Wen nodded, hinting, "Okay, I'm going to eat a lot later to make up for the anger I've suffered today!"
Wang Yinxue, sitting in the passenger seat, seemed not to hear. Ruan Xiangyi leaned over and asked in a gentle voice, "How is it?"
Wang Yinxue looked out the window without saying a word.
Ruan Xiangyi pinched her shoulders and acted coquettishly: "Oh, please? Don't be angry, let's go eat together, okay? That place has your favorite chopped pepper fish head, Yinxue, please say something, okay~"
As dusk fell, all the street lights came on, and Wang Yinxue's eyebrows showed a hint of relaxation.
"Okay..." She didn't finish her words because she subconsciously rushed forward due to inertia. Fortunately, the safety belt bounced her back.
Looking back, I saw Ruan Xiangyi holding her stomach and crying in pain.
