YM778.TV Chapter 232: Giving You Two Choices
Father Song and Mother Song perceived the expressions and demeanor of Song Yuru, and they also heard Huang Xiaolong calling their daughter his “big wife,” so naturally, they understood the relationship between them.
This pair of parents, however, were more reserved. They were unlike Wu Shanshan’s parents who were quite “boisterous,” and they didn’t bluntly point out the couples’ relationship.
“Good! Little Long, your medical skills are so amazing. Come, come, let’s go home… If your uncle has any problems left, or any aftereffects, we have to rely on you.” Mother Song excitedly nodded.
The fact that their daughter found such a boyfriend with astonishing medical skills filled Mother Song and Father Song with heartfelt joy.
Next, Mother Song busied herself with registering Father Song for hospitalization, and Song Yuru called the school to take a week off.
Once everything was sorted out, it was around 1 o’clock in the afternoon, and the four decided to have an impromptu lunch at a fast-food restaurant near the hospital.
Just as they started eating, Mother Song received a phone call and she swiftly ran out of the store to answer it.
Several minutes later, she returned looking quite worried.
Apparently, the content of the call had ruined Mother Song’s good mood.
“Mom, who called?” Song Yuru asked concernedly.
“Ah… the person responsible for the accident finally contacted me.” Mother Song sighed.
“Ah? Auntie, what did they say? Are they going public or settling privately?” Huang Xiaolong put down his chopsticks.
“This… this… It turns out the culprit is of high social status… Supposedly a big company boss’s son named Zhu…” Mother Song expressed with difficulty and indignation. “Their point is to compensate us with ten thousand yuan for medical expenses, and they want our family to stop causing trouble. They even want us to withdraw the case from the police station.”
“Ten thousand yuan?” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes flared in anger, “nearly beating someone to death, and all it takes to settle it privately is ten thousand yuan? Is life so cheap? Are they trying to dismiss us like beggars?”
“Utterly outrageous!” Song Yuru was also white-faced and trembling with fury.
“Ahem…Yuru, Little Long, I myself am unwilling…” Father Song looked distressed, but he gritted his teeth. “Forget it, I don’t want to bring you guys trouble. Sometimes, it’s better to take a step back. Let’s let it go. Ten thousand yuan is ten thousand yuan. It doesn’t matter even if they don’t give it.”
No matter how unwilling he was, the situation was stronger than the person, and he had no choice but to yield to reality.
Huang Xiaolong pondered a bit.
If he weren’t in a hurry to head to his wife’s village to investigate some secrets, he would have found this so-called “Young Master Zhu” today, taught him a stern lesson, and made sure he paid!
“That… Auntie, you make a call to them and have them come here right away. Yes, right now.” Huang Xiaolong smiled at Mother Song. “Auntie, don’t worry, I will handle this. Please believe in me.”
“Mom, call them over. Don’t be afraid with Long here!” Song Yuru urged.
“Well… okay… Little Long, you… you should remain calm and not act impulsively. Some things can be let go, it’s not worth it to argue over them too much.” Mother Song looked apprehensive as she pulled out her cellphone.
“Long, don’t take physical action.” Father Song said seriously after a bite of food.
“Alright! Uncle and aunt, I promise I won’t use force!” Huang Xiaolong said in an innocent tone. “I am a person who speaks reasonably!”
“Okay, I will call them over.” Mother Song dialed the phone.
After notifying the other side, the four continued eating.
After finishing their meal and walking out of the fast food restaurant, a Range Rover and an Audi A6L drove over just in time, and parked.
From the Audi A6L came a man in his forties holding a briefcase, his hair meticulously combed and sporting a pair of golden-rimmed glasses, looking like a scholar.
A few brawny men with rough faces and intimidating gazes jumped out of the Range Rover.
“Oh, so you’re the one who…” The man with golden glasses looked at Huang Xiaolong and the others standing at the store’s entrance, then he pointed at Father Song, “Oh, your injuries don’t seem serious at all. Said you were unconscious, needed cranial surgery…all lies! There are so many fraudsters these days.”
“You!” Song Yuru was so angry she was close to cursing.
The perpetrator was outrageously arrogant. Instead of apologizing as soon as they met, he started to scold them!
Father Song also gritted his teeth with stubborn determination, enduring it and remaining silent.
“Big wife, you guys don’t say anything. Let me handle it.” Huang Xiaolong gave a faint smile, then actively approached them.
“I am Young Master Zhu’s personal lawyer. As for this matter, Young Master Zhu’s intention is to make a big deal into a small one, with an agreement of 10,000 yuan…” The man with the golden glasses looked at Huang Xiaolong’s outfit and sneered, as if he had already pegged Huang Xiaolong as an easy target.
“Wait ” Huang Xiaolong said, looking confused. “Young Master Zhu’s intention? I’m fainting now, why don’t you first ask what our intention is?”
Upon hearing this, the man with the golden glasses froze. “Your intention? Is your intention important? Do I need to ask?” “Listen boy, did you take the wrong medication? Are you an idiot? Get the hell out of here! Keep on with this nonsense and I swear I’ll break your dog’s legs!” one of the brawny men warned menacingly from behind.
“Hehehehe ” Huang Xiaolong started laughing.
The lawyer gestured for the brawny man to stop talking. Then, leisurely lighting a cigarette, he disdainfully blew a smoke ring toward Huang Xiaolong, “You poor people really are troublesome! Seeing that Young Master Zhu drives a Porsche and is a wealthy person, you think of blackmailing him? You’re trying to dig a golden baby with a hoe? I advise you to give up this idea! To be frank, Young Master Zhu, is someone you can’t afford to offend. Ten thousand yuan today, take the money, and Young Master Zhu will not bother with you in the future. If you are obstinate… heh ?the consequence will be quite serious.”
“How serious will the consequences be?” Huang Xiaolong replied with a playful smile. “Forget it, I’m in a hurry today, so I won’t argue with you. He hit a car, beat someone up, and even almost killed someone. I personally think that ten thousand yuan can’t buy fairness, can’t buy a life. So this is it, I will give you two choices: first, let this Young Master Zhu come here, kneel down to apologize, and compensate one million, and the matter will be dropped. The second choice, no need to compensate, no need to apologize, just let Young Master Zhu come over, and I will beat him using a steel pipe. The same way he hit uncle, that’s how I’ll hit him. After beating him, we’ll clear the account, and no one owes anyone anything.”
In Huang Xiaolong’s view, the life of his future father-in-law is definitely worth more than one million. However, he did not want to be excessively greedy either and asked only for one million as it seemed reasonable and fair.
Who would have thought, when these words were said, the lawyer’s face instantly changed to a gloomy expression, his eyebrows emitted a thick murderous intent. “Are you serious? You want Young Master Zhu to demean himself, apologize personally, and then, unreasonably demand one million?”
