"We're family, why make things like this? Can't we talk things out properly?"
Since nothing serious happened, the police focused on mediation.
"Some people get all arrogant after going to college, they don't even recognize their parents anymore. Come on, tell the police what you've done. If we hadn't heard from others, we wouldn't have known you'd already graduated and were going to pursue a master's degree. What a load of crap! You're just spending our money to live a good life in the city, aren't you?!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Wenyao couldn't hold back any longer. As Li Mengting's roommate, she knew better than anyone how Li Mengting usually lived.
"Aunt!"
Jin Wenyao loudly interrupted the woman's incessant complaints, "Do you know how Mengting got through college? From her freshman year, she worked part-time every day, and she hardly ever rested on weekends. Not only did she have to earn her own tuition and living expenses, but she also had to give you money. How could you have a mother like you?"
“My husband and I are in poor health, and her younger brother is still young. Shouldn’t she give us money? I raised her all these years, can’t I ask for a little money?”
Xia Wenxi couldn't help but sneer: "Not feeling well? You were perfectly healthy when you were arresting people just now, and your son, you call that still young?"
Following Xia Wenxi's pointing finger, everyone looked at Li Mengting's younger brother. The boy was already taller than his mother when he was sitting down, and probably no one except his mother would think he was still young.
While everyone was talking, he acted as if nothing was wrong, keeping his head down and looking at his phone, as if everything here had nothing to do with him.
Having been a police officer for so many years, I can usually tell what's going on at a glance, but it's just that the police really can't get involved in these kinds of cases, so all I can say is:
"You should talk things out calmly. What kind of behavior is it to cause a scene at the school? Isn't that embarrassing? Your daughter is doing so well in school, shouldn't you be happy as a parent?"
"What's the point of being happy? What's the use of reading so many books? I won't see a single penny of it. At least when I get married, I can bring some dowry money back to my family."
"Mengting's mother, how can you say such a thing?"
"Okay, if you don't want to study, then don't. I'll go home with you."
Li Mengting's calm voice rang out, and everyone looked at her in surprise.
"Mengting, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"It's just going home, right? Fine, then go back. If you can't just kill me, then you'd better all sleep with your eyes open tonight."
In your heart, I was born to die, to die on a barren mountain, to die in a chamber pot.
"If they didn't kill me back then, we could all die together."
"See that? You dare say such things in front of the police! What kind of young girl would act like that!"
"Li Mengting, you can't say things like that. If you hurt them, you'll go to jail too, won't you?"
"Going to jail? Going to jail is better than being sucked blood by a bunch of leeches."
When Li's mother saw the look in her daughter's eyes, she felt a sudden chill for no reason. This brat had been crazy since she was little, and she might actually be capable of anything.
"If you want to continue your studies, that's fine. Give me 200,000 yuan. After supporting you for so many years, asking for only 200,000 yuan isn't unreasonable, is it?"
"Two hundred thousand? Why don't you just rob someone?!"
"Hmph, it's none of our business how our family operates."
Xia Wenxi tugged at Jin Wenyao's hand and said to Li's mother, "Fine, I can't interfere in your family's affairs. But I can at least say something about you hitting us at the school gate. I demand compensation, 100,000 yuan."
Jin Wenyao also realized what was happening, "That's right, I was injured and you scared me. I demand that you compensate me for emotional distress, 100,000 yuan."
"Are you all desperate for money? 100,000? You might as well rob someone."
Li's mother completely forgot who had just asked for 200,000 yuan.
“My lawyer is right outside. If you don’t want to pay compensation, we’ll see you in court.”
"Wenxi's lawyer is right outside! Just wait to go to court!" After making these harsh remarks, Jin Wenyao leaned over to Xia Wenxi and said, "Can I borrow your lawyer too? I don't have one."
"no problem."
Xia Wenxi nodded. Actually, she was just talking nonsense. She didn't even know whether her lawyer was round or flat.
However, she guessed that the driver would definitely inform her parents that she had gone to the police station.
"Hmph! Just you wait, do you know who she is? Do you know who her father is? I'll sue you to death!"
As soon as Jin Wenyao finished speaking, a policeman came in and whispered a few words to her.
"Xiao Bao! Where's my daughter?"
Xia Wenxi heard Ke Shurong's voice and heard her anxious tone. Xia Wenxi suddenly felt a little embarrassed, as if she had frightened her mother.
"Mom, Dad."
Xia Wenxi saw her parents come in together, with someone following behind them... She really just made that up on the spot, could there really be a lawyer?
"Are you alright? Did someone bully you? Are you hurt?"
Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to Li's mother, who jumped up and shouted, "Why are you looking at me? I didn't hit her!"
"What do you mean you didn't? Weren't you very fierce at school? Why are you denying it now? Didn't we just say that we'd each pay 100,000 yuan in compensation? Wenyao and I will each pay 100,000 yuan."
As Xia Wenxi spoke, she winked at her mother. Although Ke Shurong didn't know what her daughter was trying to do, she instinctively played along, saying:
“This woman bullied my daughter, and this matter cannot be left unresolved. You should discuss the compensation with our lawyer.”
...
"Fine, I guess I'm just unlucky! Forget about the 200,000, okay? But you can't skimp on the monthly payments."
"Whether you want Li Mengting's 200,000 yuan or not is your business, and the compensation we owe is our business. The two are unrelated."
"What's wrong with you, little girl?!"
