"Go to jail?" Ye Fen looked at her blankly.
She had never thought of this option. If Xu Yan went to jail, her life would be ruined.
Will she be forced into a desperate situation like herself and become unable to get over it?
Ye Fen softened her heart: "Aunt Gu, I don't want her to go to jail."
Gu Xia did not express his opinion, but chose to respect Ye Fen.
"Okay, then I will help you negotiate and get you the maximum compensation."
At least with this money, Ye Fen and Ye Fang can be guaranteed a living.
"Liang Su, could you please help contact Xu Yan's father?"
Liang Su nodded and said it was just a matter of making a phone call.
Gu Xia called Qian Qiuxia and asked her to come and rescue the person.
Xu Changli arrived first, and came with Shen Congji.
Liang Su stepped forward and said, "Have you finished your work? How do you have time to come over?"
Shen Congji said: "I'm worried because you've been gone for so long and haven't come back yet."
Liang Su said angrily, "How can it be that long? I only stayed here for one day."
Shen Congji secretly held her hand and whispered in her ear: "One day without seeing you feels like three years. Calculate how long it has been since we last met."
Liang Su felt it was corny, but couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips.
What do you mean by "It seems like three years have passed"? You are still nitpicking.
Xu Changli was anxious and embarrassedly interrupted their flirting and asked, "Liang Su, you didn't explain clearly on the phone what Xu Yan had done wrong."
When Xu Yan was mentioned, Liang Su's face turned cold and changed very quickly.
"Director Xu, she posted her own drawings on the bulletin board, publicizing other people's privacy, instigating students to spread rumors and cause trouble behind their backs, forcing a classmate to slit his wrists. The victim is still in the hospital. She also wrote a letter of denunciation to frame me. Director Xu, you should go to the police station to find out the details of what happened."
Xu Changli could no longer describe his anger, but now he was in front of Liang Su, so he couldn't get angry and could only bow his head and apologize.
"I'm sorry, Liang Su. Xu Yan was taught badly by her mother. I..."
Liang Su interrupted him: "Director Xu, is it just her mother's problem? Don't you have any responsibility to educate your daughter?"
Xu Changli looked ashamed. "Yes, it's my fault too. I didn't teach the child well. Where is the injured female classmate? I'll go see her first."
Seeing that he was still somewhat sincere, Liang Su's expression relaxed slightly.
"No need to go see her. I don't think she'll be willing to accept your apology. Talk to Aunt Gu directly about whether to have Xu Yan go to jail or settle the matter privately."
Liang Su spoke harshly, and Xu Changli had no choice but to agree in shame.
Gu Xia took care of the things here, so Liang Su and Shen Congji went home.
When I walked out, I found it was drizzling outside.
“It’s raining.”
Shen Congji produced an umbrella from somewhere, put his arm around her shoulders, and led her forward.
"It doesn't matter if it rains, it will always sunny again."
Gu Xia, who was standing at the door, stared at the scene in a daze.
It seems like a long time ago, but there used to be someone standing by her side, holding an umbrella for her and shielding her from the wind and rain.
"Sister Gu, are we going back to Coconut City?" Xiaoyu asked from the side.
Gu Xia rubbed his temples, looking tired.
"I'm not going back for now. Ye Fen's matter hasn't been dealt with yet. If I go back now, the old lady will have to ask me to come back to rescue Xu Yan."
It will be more troublesome to go back and forth then.
Xiaoyu didn't understand why Gu Yunsi was so interested in the Qian family's affairs, and in the end it was Gu Xia who suffered.
Gu Xia didn't know how to explain it. Perhaps Gu Yunsi placed his feelings for his granddaughter on Xu Yan.
Gu Yunsi did this to make himself feel better.
This is also the difference between Gu Xia and her. She will never let anyone replace her daughter.
The next day, Qian Qiuxia finally arrived.
Although Xu Changli stayed here for a day, he still hadn't rescued Xu Yan.
When Qian Qiuxia arrived, the first thing she asked was where Xu Yan was.
Xu Changli said stiffly, "He's still at the police station."
Qian Qiuxia felt sorry for her daughter and complained to him, "You've been an official for so many years, but you can't even save your own daughter. What's the point of having you?"
Xu Changli's expression was icy. "I couldn't save her because I had no intention of doing so. Your daughter is safe and sound at the police station. No one would harm her, but the girl she hurt is still lying in a hospital bed. Have you ever asked her about that?"
Qian Qiuxia curled her lips and said, "What does this have to do with Xu Yan? She was just too fragile. It wasn't Xu Yan who handed her the knife, nor did she force her to cut her wrists."
Gu Xia didn't have much contact with Qian Qiuxia, and they were just acquaintances usually. Now, after hearing these words, he knew what kind of person she was.
Qian Qiuxia was very confident and didn't even think Xu Yan had done anything wrong.
Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem surprising that Xu Yan would do such a thing.
"Gu Xia, you've watched our Yanyan grow up, so please help her this time. Before I left, the old lady specifically told me to come directly to you if I have any problems, and not to let Xu Yan be bullied."
Gu Xia smiled coldly, "You may not know this, but my current identity is Ye Fen's guardian. I originally thought about settling the matter privately, but now I've changed my mind. Xu Yan is such a scourge that she will continue to harm others even if she gets out. It's better to let her reform in there."
Xu Changli and Qian Qiuxia's faces changed drastically.
"Comrade Gu Xia, this... I promise that I will teach Xu Yan well after she gets out. We are willing to pay compensation and settle this privately. Please help me speak to that little classmate for a favor."
No matter how cruel Xu Changli is, he only has this one daughter.
Xu Yan is still young. If she really goes to jail, her life will be ruined.
He glared at Qian Qiuxia fiercely, "Why don't you apologize now! How dare you say those things when your daughter did all that! With a mother like you who has such distorted values, it's no wonder Xu Yan has become so crooked."
Qian Qiuxia was dissatisfied and subconsciously wanted to refute him.
Gu Xia was impatient to listen to their bickering. He looked at her coldly and said, "Do you want to settle it privately, or does Xu Yan go to jail? Show your attitude. Qian Qiuxia, I have a short patience and don't have the time to waste time with you. But I can promise you that as long as we follow the rules, I will make Xu Yan bear the heaviest punishment. If you don't believe me, try to see if I have the ability to do it."
It was the first time that Qian Qiuxia saw Gu Xia's face so cold, and he said words that completely disregarded the friendship between the two families. It made her feel cold down her spine.
"Privately, we are willing to compensate and settle privately!"
Xiaoyu said with a gloomy expression, "If you had said so earlier, there would have been no need for so much nonsense. Gentlemen, this is the compensation we have listed, not including medical expenses, the total is eight hundred. Please review it."
Xu Changli glanced at it briefly and agreed directly: "Okay, this is what we should compensate, eight hundred."
Qian Qiuxia still wanted to bargain, but when she met Gu Xia's oppressive and cold eyes, she dared not say anything more.
