"Xuechang, why are you still being so stubborn at a time like this? You've already got the money, why bother with a lawsuit? You've heard from the lawyer that the compensation they're offering isn't even as much as the lawsuit itself!"
"Mom, this is a matter between the two of us, and it should be decided by the two of us."

Seeing that Yang Xuechang remained unmoved, Yang's mother gripped the money in her hand even tighter.
She looked at Duan Meishan and earnestly advised her:
"Shanshan, you need to persuade Xuechang. Ever since he married you, everything I say is wrong. He only listens to you. You're a reasonable person, and our family urgently needs money right now. You can't act impulsively!"
Shen Jingyan found these words extremely offensive.
The implication in Yang's mother's words was that Yang Xuechang had "forgotten his mother after getting married," and that Duan Meishan should not be as ignorant as before, but should be more considerate of her hard work as a mother.
Shen Jingyan really misjudged him.
This mother of Yang acts like she cares a lot about her daughter-in-law in front of her son, but she's actually a drama queen.
Duan Meishan is immature? She is such a gentle and obedient girl, cherished and pampered by Yang Xuechang. How could she be the woman Yang's mother described as sowing discord and not understanding her parents' hard work?
Yang Xuechang's face darkened even more at his mother's words.
Without saying a word, he snatched the stack of money from Yang's mother and threw it in front of the middle-aged lawyer.

"Take the money. We haven't figured out a settlement yet!"
Zhao Yanyan's nostrils practically popped out of her head: "You clearly just want money, so why pretend to be so high and mighty! Without my money, you wouldn't even last three days in the capital hospital!"
Shen Jingyan could not tolerate someone who had committed a heinous crime having the audacity to arrogantly despise the poor.
She stood up from beside Duan Meishan and slowly walked to Zhao Yanyan.
The powerful pressure emanating from her body sent chills down Zhao Yanyan's spine.
"Your money? From birth until now, have you ever earned a single penny besides spending it? Without your parents, you're not even trash! Where do you get the sense of superiority to look down on Brother Yang and Shanshan? They may be poor, but their character is a million times better than yours! No matter how poor they are, they are still college students, the pride of heaven. What are you? You're just a piece of trash who wastes air when alive, wastes land when dead, and wastes money even when neither alive nor dead!"
Chen Jingyan's rapid-fire delivery of information stunned Zhu Xiaoqin, Zhao Yanyan, and the middle-aged lawyer.
The middle-aged lawyer boasted that he was unmatched in his eloquence, even capable of twisting the truth, but he had never met anyone whose words were even more eloquent than his!
"You...you..." Zhao Yanyan was so angry that her face turned purple, but she couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal in front of Shen Jingyan.
Shen Jingyan turned his gaze to Zhu Xiaoqin again, and the oppressive feeling that made it hard for Zhu Xiaoqin to breathe forced her to take two steps back.

"Dean Zhu, judging from your daughter's behavior, she shows no remorse whatsoever. You can use money to settle everything today, but next time she causes even bigger trouble, I'm afraid you won't be able to cover it up with money!"
Zhu Xiaoqin broke out in a cold sweat. She had to admit that Shen Jingyan was absolutely right; she had realized this long ago.
Zhao Yanyan was spoiled and selfish from a young age. She would hold grudges and seek revenge if things didn't go her way, and would even beat people up.
She always harbored the illusion that she was ignorant as a child and would not be so willful and reckless when she grew up. But she was wrong. As she grew older, Zhao Yanyan not only did not become kind and sensible, but she also became more and more vicious.
But what could she do? Zhao Yanyan was her daughter; no matter what mistakes she made, she couldn't just abandon her!
Seeing Zhu Xiaoqin's unwavering devotion, Shen Jingyan knew that no matter what she said, it would be useless.
You can't wake someone who's pretending to be asleep.
Seeing the money slipping through her fingers, Yang's mother said to Chen Jing with great displeasure:
"You little brat, why do you talk so rudely? They're here to give you money, why are you lecturing them with such high-sounding principles!"
After saying that, she stared at the stack of money with fascination, her eyes practically glowing red.

She held Duan Meishan's hand, her eyes brimming with tears, and said:
"Shanshan, you can't be confused. Your dad and I work ourselves to the bone in the factory to support you two through college, and now we have a little granddaughter to feed. There are so many mouths to feed, and your hospitalization will cost money. Our family really can't afford to keep going like this..."
Duan Meishan's eyes reddened. Looking at Yang's mother's emaciated appearance, she finally couldn't hold back any longer and said to Yang Xuechang with all her might:
"Xuechang, let's sign it. Don't make things difficult for Mom."
Faced with that stack of life-saving money, Yang Xuechang ultimately couldn't bring himself to wear the word "dignity" on his face.
After signing the papers, the middle-aged lawyer shook hands with Yang Xuechang in a friendly manner.
Because Shen Jingyan was still there, Zhao Yanyan didn't dare to say anything harsh and silently walked out of the ward with Zhu Xiaoqin.
As soon as she stepped out of the ward, she smiled with relief.
"Ha, if I had known things would be so easy to resolve, I wouldn't have been so worried for so many days!"
Seeing Zhao Yanyan's relaxed expression, Zhu Xiaoqin became even more worried.

"Yan Yan, this was ultimately your fault. Don't you feel any remorse?"
Zhao Yanyan frowned unhappily: "Regret what? Do you expect me to repent to Buddha for three days and three nights? They even took the money; it's obvious they're just playing the victim to extort money!"
