Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan came back after buying things and saw that only Xu Tianbang and three others were in the ward, and Lin Junman had already left.
"Master, how did your talk with Aunt Lin go?" Su Jinyue asked as she walked to the bedside.
Xu Tiansheng shook his head and sighed deeply. If Xiaoman was willing to forgive him, she wouldn't have left so impatiently when her elder brother and the others arrived.
Su Jinyue shook her head helplessly, took out a pill and handed it to Xu Tiansheng, "Master, your injury will be healed after taking this pill." Master had hurt Aunt Lin too badly, and it would be difficult to get her forgiveness.
"I want to wait a little longer," Xu Tiansheng shook his head. Xiaoman knew he was injured, and the fact that she came meant she still cared about him. Perhaps she would come to see him in the hospital again.
Su Jinyue sighed inwardly, put away the pill, and took out another pill and handed it to Xu Tiansheng. "This pill can relieve pain, but the effect is relatively slow." Love is indeed a tormenting thing. When it is sweet, it can make you happy, like soaking in a can of honey. When it is sad, it can make you feel worse than death.
Xu Tiansheng took the pill and put it in his mouth. After a while, the severe pain in his leg gradually dissipated. He looked at Su Jinyue with guilt, "Jinyue, Master is sorry for you! You are getting married tomorrow, and Master is causing you trouble."
"As long as Master is alright, I'm fine. I've already arranged a wheelchair, and I'll have someone pick him up tomorrow to attend my wedding," Su Jinyue said. Master was like a father to her, so naturally, he couldn't be absent from her wedding.
Xu Tiansheng nodded. "It's getting late. You and Yihan should go back first. You still have a lot to do tomorrow." There will definitely be a lot of things to do tomorrow for the wedding, and he doesn't want them to delay their own work because of him. That would make him feel even more guilty.
"You guys go and do your work, we are here and we will take good care of Tiansheng." Xu Tianbang said.
"Yes, you can go back without worry. We will call you if there is anything." Xu Tianqi echoed.
Su Jinyue looked at Xu Tiansheng and said, "Master, some things should just be left to nature." Once a woman gives up and closes her heart, it is very difficult to open it again.
Xu Tiansheng nodded and said, "Master knows what's going on." He wanted to try again. If it really didn't work, he would give up.
"Uncle, Third Uncle, Brother Jinfeng, we'll be leaving first. I'll leave Master to you." Su Jinyue looked at Xu Tianbang and the other two and said.
Xu Tianbang smiled and nodded, "Drive slowly." It was a blessing for him to be born with such an adopted daughter.
Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan walked out of the ward and drove to the traffic police station. They were there to resolve the matter with the perpetrator. "Master is fine now. It would be better to resolve the matter sooner rather than later."
Ma Xiaojun sat alone in a chair in the corner, his face pale and his body trembling. He was truly terrified by what had happened. Although the police investigating the case had told him that the victim only had a broken leg and was not in danger of death, he was still filled with anxiety. The subsequent compensation bill was also weighing heavily on him, making him feel suffocated.
"Ma Xiaojun, come in with me." Zhang Yang, who was in charge of this case, walked over and said.
"Okay." Ma Xiaojun quickly stood up and followed Zhang Yang towards the office, feeling more and more uneasy.
When I walked into the office, I saw a young couple sitting inside. The woman was exquisite and beautiful, and the man had three-dimensional facial features and was extraordinarily handsome. His black eyes were as sharp as blades, cold and deep, giving people a feeling of indifference that kept people at a distance.
"They are the families of the injured. You should talk to them first." Zhang Yang pointed at Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan.
"Oh." Ma Xiaojun nodded, his face pale as he walked in front of Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan. He wasn't afraid of this woman, but this man put a lot of pressure on him, making him feel cold in his heart.
"I... I'm Ma Xiaojun, hello." Ma Xiaojun said tremblingly. He didn't know what kind of compensation the other party would ask for. If he couldn't pay, would he go to jail?
"Please sit down." Su Jinyue pointed to the chair in front of her.
Ma Xiaojun nodded and sat down. "The light was green and I didn't notice there was someone in front of me. It was my negligence. I'm sorry!" When Xu Tiansheng was crossing the road, a car happened to pass by his side, blocking his view.
"We've already understood the situation. The responsibility for this is ours," Su Jinyue said. Master had run a red light, and while the driver's negligence was also to blame, Master bore greater responsibility.
"Huh?" Ma Xiaojun looked at Su Jinyue in disbelief. What did she mean?
"Just sign your name on the accident agreement and the matter will end here." Su Jinyue said.
"Don't you want me to compensate you?" Ma Xiaojun couldn't believe his good luck. He was already planning to mortgage his house to the bank.
Su Jinyue shook her head. "Drive more carefully next time." Zhang Yang had just told them about Ma Xiaojun's situation. Ma Xiaojun was from Beijing and worked as a moving truck driver. He had elderly parents, an elementary school-aged daughter, and a hungry baby at home. His wife cared for the elderly and children at home, and the burden of the family's life fell entirely on Ma Xiaojun.
She forced Ma Xiaojun to pay compensation, but it was only a thousand or two thousand yuan at most. To her, a thousand or two thousand yuan was nothing, but to Ma Xiaojun and his family, it might be the last straw that broke the camel's back. Besides, the Master was responsible for this incident. She couldn't possibly force Ma Xiaojun and his family into despair just for a thousand or two thousand yuan in medical expenses, could she?
"Thank you! Thank you!" Ma Xiaojun stood up and was about to kneel down in front of Su Jinyue with gratitude.
Su Jinyue quickly reached out to stop him, "You don't have to do this, let's sign the agreement now."
"Okay." Ma Xiaojun nodded, looking at Su Jinyue with gratitude in his eyes. She had essentially given his family a way out. With his current salary, even if he mortgaged his house, he wouldn't be able to repay the debt. His parents were in poor health and needed medication year-round, and his children needed money for school. His monthly salary of less than 150 yuan was truly a drop in the bucket.
After signing the agreement, Ma Xiaojun thanked Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan profusely once again, "Thank you! Take this money." He pulled out the only fifty-six yuan and seventy cents in his pocket and handed it to Su Jinyue. They didn't want him to pay compensation, and while he was truly grateful, he also felt a pang of guilt. If he hadn't been careless, he wouldn't have bumped into them. So, after much deliberation, he decided to take out all the money he had. Although it was a small amount, it was all he had.
