However, while she could tolerate it, Tang Xinyou couldn't, and blurted out, "Linghu Lan, how can you talk like that? Who are you calling your daughter? Have you no shame?"
Lan's mother panicked and immediately tried to stand up, but Linghu Lan pressed her back down. Linghu Lan said coldly, "She's not my daughter, so why should I give in to her? Do you think you're so important that the whole world has to give you face?"
"Linghu Lan!" Tang Xinyou held her breath, wanting to say more, but her mother grabbed her arm.
Tang Xinyou's mother was too lazy to say anything more and went straight to the point: "Let's not beat around the bush, how do you want to resolve this matter?"
"You really want to resolve this?"
"That's right, you've affected our whole family's lives. You're doing this just to get us to come here, aren't you? We're already here, so just tell us what you want!"
Linghu Lan couldn't help but chuckle at the condescending tone. "Fine! Since you're so sincere, it seems you really want to talk. Then please cover some of my medical expenses over the past three years!"
Tang Xinyou's mother had come prepared to be taken advantage of, so she wasn't surprised when Linghu Lan brought up the matter of compensation. However, she was still somewhat unsettled. "Name your price!"
"My medical treatment cost a total of 800,000 yuan. Judging from your appearance, you are also very wealthy. So, I'll give you 600,000 yuan. Do you have any objections?"
"Six hundred thousand? Why don't you just rob me?" Tang Xinyou's mother jumped up this time. This number was far different from what she had expected. Her highest budget was fifty thousand. Linghu Lan could forget about anything over fifty thousand. How dare she ask for six hundred thousand? That's outrageous!
Tang Xinyou even shouted, "Linghu Lan, have you no shame? Is this how you extort people?"
Linghu Lan glanced at the two of them indifferently, "So you don't have any money. I thought you were rich when you barged into my house!"
Tang Xinyou's mother blushed and stood up quickly instead of sitting on the bed. "Six hundred thousand is impossible. Your illness is due to your own poor health, not my daughter's doing. We came here just to avoid making things too tense. It seems you think we're easy targets. Linghu Lan, let me tell you, don't value money too much."
"Yes! We really can't value money too much. If we don't hold it properly, it'll easily be blown away by the wind!" Linghu Lan was too lazy to reason with them anymore. You can never wake someone who's pretending to be asleep, just like you can't save a jerk's values no matter how hard you try, because they're already shattered. "Since you can't afford to pay, then please leave. Don't dirty my floor. Next time you come in, bring your own shoe covers. My floor is spotless and I don't want to get anything dirty on it."
"Linghu Lan, you're determined to file a lawsuit, aren't you?" Tang Xinyou's mother walked up to Linghu Lan quickly and pointed her finger at the tip of Linghu Lan's nose.
Lan's mother immediately jumped up and shouted angrily, "What do you want to do? Want to hit someone? Come on, I'll fight you. Do you think my daughter is easy to bully? Take your hands off her and get out of here."
Tang Xinyou's mother's face turned ashen as she angrily withdrew her finger. "I never expected your family to be so unreasonable. My daughter is truly unlucky to have met your daughter..."
Tang Xinyou's mother kept spitting, and Lan's mother was not to be outdone, pushing them out, and it looked like they were about to fight.
Linghu Lan silently took out her piggy bank and picked up a silver coin.
