Their daughter tried to frame me and ruin my life.
Their son betrayed me, trampled on my sincerity, and continues to ravage my wounds.
I am not a Bodhisattva, and I do not have that compassionate heart.
"Uncle Gu, I'm sorry, I don't want to see him again." After saying this, I politely nodded slightly and turned to leave.
"Jiang Wan, you two were husband and wife after all, how can you be so heartless? As long as you're willing to look at Yan Qing again, we'll grant you whatever you ask for, Jiang Wan..."
Gu Tingshan called out behind me, but I didn't turn around. When we got to the parking lot, I got into my car and drove away.
————
Back at the company, Little Cherry saw me and immediately came up to me.
"Sister Wan, Mr. Yang called the police. I heard that the police summoned Ms. Tang. I don't know what the situation is now."
I nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Before I could finish speaking, my phone rang; it was an unfamiliar landline number.
The police called and asked me to come over.
Before I could even catch my breath, I turned and left, driving straight to the police station.
Upon seeing me, Tang Xiue immediately rushed over: "Jiang Wan, he wants to hold me accountable. Can you talk to him for me? I can't be detained. I'm willing to pay compensation. I'll pay whatever it takes."
I asked directly, "Compensation? You're still extorting me, where are you going to get the money to compensate them?"
"I'll figure something out, or you can lend it to me and I'll work for you for another year," Tang Xiue said, looking dejected.
That surprised me.
It seems that she was terrified by the police and Yang Qianmu before I arrived.
I didn't respond, but looked at the police officer and asked, "In her case, if she's detained, how long would she be detained?"
The police officer said, "If we don't reach a settlement, according to the injury assessment, it's considered minor, and you'll be detained for ten days. However, I discovered that this Ms. Tang was recently detained for assaulting someone; she seems to be a repeat offender..."
The police deliberately stalled for time, and Tang Xiu'e's legs went weak with fear: "I didn't mean to this, it was an accident... Officer, my son is in detention, waiting for me to find a way to get him out, please don't detain me..."
"It's no use telling me; the parties involved need to agree to a settlement," the police officer said helplessly.
Tang Xiu'e immediately turned around and went to ask Yang Qianmu for help again.
Yang Qianmu glanced at me and replied with an unfriendly expression, "I have no grudge against you. You broke my head. This injury will leave a scar. I'm not even married yet. How am I going to find a girlfriend if I have a scar on my face?"
It must be said that Yang Qianmu also has a talent for acting.
Hearing this, I felt extremely guilty.
If it really leaves a scar, disfigures someone, and makes it difficult for them to find a wife in the future, then I will have committed a great sin.
Tang Xiu'e apologized repeatedly and said all the right things, but Yang Qianmu just wouldn't reconcile.
She had no other choice but to beg me again, "Jiang Wan, isn't he your subordinate? Talk to him nicely, I'm willing to compensate you, as long as he doesn't get detained, just name your price."
I sneered inwardly, looking at the woman in front of me; the only word to describe her was stupid.
Over the years, relying on Jiang Haiyang's power, she has been arrogant and domineering, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and has never suffered any grievances.
Now that Jiang Haiyang is in prison, she is not only living in poverty, but also acting impulsively and recklessly without considering the consequences. She will probably ruin herself sooner or later.
"You've insulted me, bullied me, and even thought about killing me all these years, and now you come begging me for help? Why should I help you?" I wasn't going to be so easy to talk to, otherwise she would dare to cause me trouble again next time.
"She's going to kill you?" the police officer asked in surprise after hearing my words.
Tang Xiu'e quickly waved her hand: "No, no, it was just something I said in anger... Jiang Wan, I promise I won't bother you again, as long as you help me this time."
Having achieved my goal, I feigned a troubled expression and looked at Yang Qianmu: "Mr. Yang, considering her sincere apology, how about... we settle this matter?"
Yang Qianmu hesitated for a long time before nodding and saying, "President Jiang, I'll give you face today, but I'm really not convinced!"
I glared at Tang Xiue, and she realized what was happening. She immediately apologized to Yang Qianmu again, looking extremely sincere.
Finally, with the police officers in the presence of them, they signed a settlement agreement and no case was filed.
Tang Xiu'e is required to pay Yang Qianmu a total of 30,000 yuan for medical expenses, lost wages, and mental distress damages.
Privately, in addition to giving Yang Qianmu a week's leave, I also paid him an extra 50,000 yuan as my apology and compensation.
Tang Xiue naturally couldn't come up with 30,000 yuan, but she promised me that she would work for me until she paid off the 80,000 yuan.
That evening, Li Yunwei organized a get-together to see Chen Wanzhen off—Chen Wanzhen's flight to Jiangcheng was scheduled for the next day.
When I arrived at the restaurant, I was starving. Without even being polite to the two of them, I ate a bowl of rice first.
Chen Wanzhen asked in surprise, "You're a boss yourself, and you've fallen so low that you can't even afford to eat?"
I shook my head and sighed repeatedly: "Ugh, don't even mention it. So many messy things happened today. I was busy from morning till night and didn't even have time for lunch."
Upon hearing that there was some gossip, both of them perked up their ears.
After I finished telling them about Gu Yanqing and then briefly mentioned Tang Xiue, they both gasped in astonishment.
"How come you always run into these kinds of awful things?"
"You won't soften your heart and make up with Gu Yanqing again, will you?" Li Yunwei asked worriedly.
I firmly replied, "Impossible. If I were soft-hearted, I would have gone to see him today. I really don't want to see him. Whether he lives or dies is none of my business."
“Then your stepmother… I think that 80,000 yuan is a waste. She can’t possibly work for you for two years to pay off the debt. Once her son is released, she will definitely regret it.” Chen Wanzhen knew my family situation quite well and had long known what kind of person Tang Xiue was, so she made a firm conclusion.
