What's more, Chu Jie had just heard some information on the phone. Chu Jie felt that things might not be as simple as he imagined. If he took Zhang Sufen back and could help, it would indeed be a good choice.
"Do you have your ID card with you?" Chu Jie asked.
Zhang Sufen nodded quickly, and Chu Jie breathed a sigh of relief. "Then let's go quickly."
Inside the ward, Chu's mother sat motionless on a stool, surrounded by a group of people. She didn't dare to move, and she didn't know how long the stalemate lasted.
"When will your son come back? Our time is still very precious." The man in the lead was a local tyrant with a scar on his face. Because he had been in prison, he relied on this condition to make a living in the local area after he was released, and was nicknamed Scar Brother.
Scar Brother crossed his arms. He had already spent the whole day here. Someone came to him and entrusted him with a task. Since he had accepted benefits from others, he had to do it well.
"Brother Scar, please put it this way. I'm sorry to bother you staying here for so long today. It's getting late. You heard my son calling just now. He will definitely come back. I can't make any decisions about this family by myself. Please ask Xiaofang to come out and I'll talk to her, okay?" Mother Chu was cautious, afraid that she would say the wrong thing.
As for "Xiao Fang", she was the victim of the case. Scar Brother sneered and didn't listen to her words at all. After looking her up and down, he said, "What do you mean by that? If you ask me to come, I will come. If you ask me to leave, I will leave."
Seeing that this was not a solution and there were other patients in the hospital, Chu's mother thought about it and finally dialed Xiaofang's number.
As soon as Xiaofang entered the ward, Mother Chu seemed to have seen a ray of light. She hurried forward and took Xiaofang's arm, "You're here."
Xiaofang rolled her eyes at Chu's mother. Seeing her mother like this, Xiaofang didn't feel any sympathy at all and her face was expressionless.
Mother Chu quickly said, "Can you please give us some time? Please have pity on our family. We really can't come up with that much money."
Xiaofang sneered and crossed her arms, "Have mercy on you? Then who will have mercy on me? If it weren't for him, how could I lose the lawsuit? You say one word and I'll let you go, but who will let me go? Can you please think about me too?"
Mother Chu thought for a moment and said, "The bottom line is that the materials were lost, so Chu Yingjie couldn't get them out..."
Before Chu's mother finished speaking, Xiaofang interrupted, "Yes, you know it's because of the loss of materials. If the materials were not lost, it means that they would not lose this lawsuit!"
For a moment, Chu's mother was speechless.
Xiaofang looked at Chu's mother seriously. She wondered how much courage she had to come this far. In fact, I don't know what Xiaofang was thinking.
"I'm telling you this today. No matter what, no matter how pitiful you are, you have to give me not a penny less than 300,000 yuan, and we can settle this matter privately. Otherwise, it will be impossible. When he goes to jail, I want to see what your family will do." Xiaofang said viciously.
These words hit Chuntian like a bolt from the blue. Tears welled up in her eyes and she tried to grab Xiaofang's arm, but was pushed away.
Chu's mother's tears and nose merged into one. You know, three hundred thousand is something their family really can't afford. They are just an ordinary family.
There was no other way. Mother Chu took a deep breath. Xiaofang was stunned by Mother Chu's look, not knowing what she would do next.
Mother Chu knelt down in front of Xiaofang with a plop, "I beg you, I beg you, please let us go."
There was a lawyer next to Xiaofang watching this scene. He didn't understand what was going on and quickly pulled Xiaofang away. He wanted to pull Chu's mother up, but to no avail. "Madam, please get up. You won't get any results by doing this."
Chu Jie rushed over and didn't have time to ask for the ward number. After hearing the noise here, he ran over quickly. As soon as he entered the door, he saw this scene.
Chu Jie was stunned. In his heart, his mother was a person with strong self-esteem, but now, she had to compromise for the sake of life.
"Mom!" Chu Jie shouted.
Chu's mother remained indifferent, as she had no better solution.
When the other lawyer saw Chu Jie coming, he recounted the whole story, "You must be Chu Yingjie's son, right? Because of your father's mistake, the documents were lost, which led to the failure of my client's lawsuit. The compensation should be borne by your family, 300,000 yuan. If not, your father will have to go to jail."
Chu Jie didn't say anything, he just stood there quietly. He didn't know how long it had been, but his mind was in a mess and so many thoughts came to his mind.
"Mr. Chu?" the lawyer reminded.
"This card is for you. There are 300,000 yuan in it." Chu Jie took it out.
This scene was different from what everyone present thought. Seeing Mother Chu's submissive look, everyone thought that the Chu family could not afford the money.
But now it seems to be completely different from what they imagined.
Even Chu's mother was stunned. She didn't know when Chu Jie had this deposit. "Chu Jie, you didn't do anything, did you?" Chu's mother asked subconsciously.
Chu Jie's face was expressionless. "Don't worry, Mom, our studio's business is booming right now, so we've saved up some money."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that it could be taken out? Instead of doing this?" Xiaofang commented suddenly.
The bill was about to be settled, so Xiaofang no longer had to stay here. Soon everyone in the ward left.
Seeing Mother Chu like this, Zhang Sufen hurried forward and helped her up with her hands, "Auntie, please sit down quickly."
Chu's mother didn't say anything. Zhang Sufen quickly took out a tissue and wiped her face. After everything was cleaned up, she stood quietly beside Chu's mother.
Zhang Sufen didn't know what to do. She felt that what she was doing now was the best comfort for Chu's mother.
"Your father has high blood pressure from being angry and has been lying in bed for several days." Chu's mother said beside him.
"It's okay, everything will be fine. I'll bring Sufen here to keep you company so you can relax." Chu Jie said.
"You two haven't eaten yet, right? Go buy some food together. I'll be watching over your father here. Bring me some food as well," said Chu's mother.
