Jiang Xiaoli, carrying the gifts, apologized several times to the people next to her, then walked straight to Xiao Jincheng's side and pushed aside the man with the buzz cut.
The man with the buzz cut stumbled as he was being jostled while bending over. He instinctively wanted to curse, but shut his mouth when he saw Jiang Xiaoli standing next to Xiao Jincheng.
Jiang Xiaoli put the gifts on the ground and immediately reached out to pry the blue-clad woman's hands off Xu Feng's leg.
"I'm saying your whole family likes to get physical, right? Your daughter stabbed Xiaoyu, and you, as her mother, just hugged her leg and cried?"
The woman in blue sat down on the ground, wiped away her tears, and began to cry, "My Qiqi is only 21 years old, she really can't go to jail! Please, please let her go~ Whatever compensation you want, my family will sell everything we own to make it happen!"
Xiao Jincheng said with a dark face, "Your daughter is 21 years old and still injured someone with a knife. She can't go to jail, but my daughter can't be hurt! Let me tell you, there's no room for negotiation on this. Everyone should pay the price for their actions!"
The man with the buzz cut sighed, "My daughter is indeed immature, but your daughter's condition isn't serious, is it? If you withdraw the lawsuit, we're willing to pay 10,000 yuan in compensation, okay?"
Many people around gasped in astonishment. "Wow, 10,000 yuan in compensation! They're really rich!"
"I heard that the girl in that ward just had her appendix removed, it wasn't serious."
Some people made sarcastic remarks, saying, "If I could get 10,000 yuan for removing a useless appendix, I would be willing to do it."
Xiao Jincheng was so angry at the buzz-cut man's dismissive tone and the surrounding chatter that he wanted to punch someone. He roared, "How about I give you ten thousand to stab you?"
Xu Feng quickly pulled Xiao Jincheng back.
Jiang Xiaoli snorted coldly and asked the man with the buzz cut, "Look how smoothly you two put on your act, first with a self-inflicted injury, then by demanding a loss! This isn't the first time, is it?"
The man with the buzz cut felt a lump in his throat. "We adults are talking, you little brat, don't interfere!"
"Hehe." Jiang Xiaoli crossed her arms and looked at him. "You don't need to come here to apologize so hypocritically. Haven't you ever seen the person in question apologize without their parents coming to help them? Isn't that fake?"
The woman in blue quickly began to help Wang Manqi make excuses, saying, "Qiqi is sick and is resting at home after taking her medicine. I'll bring her over to apologize to Xiao when she feels better."
"No, no, no!" Jiang Xiaoli waved her hands repeatedly. "We don't want to see her. Who knows if she'll come back with a knife? I'm telling you clearly today, we really don't care about your apology. We will ask for compensation—surgery fees, hospital fees, food expenses, nutrition expenses, compensation for emotional distress, etc. You won't be shortchanged. But we won't extort you. Whatever the court orders, you can pay for your precious daughter."
The man with the buzz cut frowned, ignoring Jiang Xiaoli looking at Xiao Jincheng, "We both have children. You really aren't willing to give my daughter a chance to change, are you?"
Xiao Jincheng hugged Jiang Xiaoli and laughed, "Your daughter is the kind of person that you parents can't teach. I think it's good to let the country educate her."
The woman in blue immediately began to wail, "How can you be so heartless! What good will it do you to send my daughter to jail!"
Jiang Xiaoli scratched her ear with her little finger. "Guess what? Your daughter got the punishment she deserved, and we feel relieved. Isn't that enough?"
The man with the buzz cut glared at her fiercely. "Young lady, you're not from Kyoto, are you? Aren't you afraid of having a hard time in Kyoto doing things like this?"
Xiao Jincheng immediately shoved Jiang Xiaoli towards Xu Feng behind him, his eyes wide with anger, "You're threatening us, aren't you?"
Jiang Xiaoli felt that this farce was about to end, so she called out to a burly man in the crowd, "Brother Sun, could you please help me throw these two annoying people out?"
Xiao Sun pushed aside the people blocking his way, grabbed the man with the buzz cut by the back of the neck with one hand and the woman in blue by the collar with the other, and easily threw the two of them into the emergency exit.
The onlookers in the corridor were stunned and scattered like birds and beasts.
Xiao Jincheng laughed, "Little Pear, why didn't you say you were calling people earlier?"
Jiang Xiaoli shrugged. "I was also curious to hear what kind of nonsense these two would spout, but they had absolutely no creativity!"
Xu Feng playfully patted her arm, "You silly girl! I told you not to come, but you insisted on getting involved in this mess!"
She followed him into the ward, saying, "Look at what you're saying, Xiaoyu's matter is my matter."
The ward wasn't well soundproofed, and Xiao Muyu could hear almost everything that was happening outside.
She asked with concern, "Dad, Xiaoli, they're locals, and you're in business. Won't they try to cause you trouble?"
Xiao Jincheng smiled and patted his daughter's hair. "Don't worry, Xiaoyu, your dad and Xiaoli aren't so easy to bully."
Jiang Xiaoli also said, "That's right, don't worry about so much. The most important thing for you now is to rest well and heal your wound as soon as possible."
She suddenly remembered something, "By the way, hasn't anyone from your school come to visit you?"
Xiao Muyu replied, "They've arrived. Our class advisor and a school leader came this morning."
Jiang Xiaoli sensed that she was in a bad mood. "What did they say when they came?"
Xu Feng got angry just thinking about it. "Those two teachers from Xiaoyu's school didn't come to visit Xiaoyu at all. They were clearly acting as intermediaries for Wang Manqi! All they kept saying was that it was bad for Xiaoyu to be involved in a lawsuit at such a young age!"
Xiao Jincheng was even more frustrated, "When Xiaoyu got into medical school, I was bragging to everyone, but now I'm really disappointed!"
Jiang Xiaoli analyzed, "It was my mistake. I'll have someone check on Wang Manqi's family. The couple didn't come yesterday and didn't come this morning either. Maybe they only came to apologize in person because they saw that the pressure from the school teachers was useless."
Xu Fengshen slammed his hand on the table. "That must be it!"
Jiang Xiaoli immediately called Song Guoqiang, "Brother Song, it seems you can't rest today. Help me investigate someone..."
Before lunchtime, Song Guoqiang called back to report.
"Wang Manqi, female, 21 years old, is a third-year nursing student at Peking Union Medical College. Her grandfather is the vice president of the medical university in charge of personnel, her uncle is the director of the Department of Orthopedics at the First People's Hospital of Beijing, and her parents run a medical device company."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xiaoli chuckled, "No wonder he's so arrogant, it turns out he has a grandfather who's a vice principal."
Upon hearing this news, Xiao Jincheng and his family of three fell silent.
Xu Feng sighed, "Xiaoyu still has to stay in this school for 8 years. If we send the vice principal's granddaughter to jail, do you think we'll have a good outcome?"
