Chapter 1543: One Lie After Another (14)
The driver was so anxious he broke out in cold sweat. He continued to explain, “Sir, you were the one who rushed out in front of the car, and I braked in time. You don’t look like you’re hurt, so how can you expect me to pay? You’re not making sense.”
The other party was obviously trying to extort money.
This person was obviously trying to deliberately run into cars and demand compensation afterwards.
The chauffeur also did not want to just let this person have his way. Even though a few thousand dollars was not much, he did not want to get scammed by such a person.
However, the other party wanted to push it. He saw that the chauffeur looked like an honest man who could not get a word past him, and thus tugged at the chauffeur with brute force and stared at him menacingly. He shouted to the passers-by, “This person is trying to do a hit-and-run! Everyone, use your logic! What is this; you think you’re so great just because you have money? So you can mistreat the lives of others just because you’re rich? To wealthy people like you, are the lives of us commoners worth nothing?”
His behavior was meant to rile the crowd.
Even though there was little traffic on this street, there were still a few people who passed by. A few auntie and uncle figures crowded around and pointed to the cars and started to make comments.
“Aiyoh. look at the brand of the car. It’s a Bentley; a ricj person’s car. It costs a lot of money.”
“I’ve heard of Bentley. It’s not a brand a commoner can afford. They must be very wealthy.”
Upon noticing the comments, the man raised his eyebrows and took the opportunity to say, “You, Sister, and you, Brother, come and judge this. Are the lives of commoners worth nothing? He’s unwilling to admit it even though he hit me.”
He lifted his sleeve as he said this, showing everyone his reddened arm.
“Look at this and tell me he didn’t hurt me. My thigh is also in pain, but I’m enduring it. Yet he still doesn’t want to admit that he has hit me, and doesn’t want to pay up. Is this fair? Can you tell me if this is fair?”
The “Sister” denied immediately. “It’s not fair! They should pay for hitting someone!”
“That’s right. Since you’ve hit someone, you have to pay for his medical bills. Anyway, this amount of medical bills is nothing to rich people like you. Hurry up and pay up!”
“Hurry up and pay up!”
The three people around them started to shout, taking the side of the man before hearing the chauffeur’s explanation.
Bring ganged up on by so many people caused the chauffeur to fall silent.
Mu Xiaoxiao was unable to take this anymore. She walked up the them briskly, spread her arms wide, and shielded the chauffeur behind her.
“Talk to me if you want someone to talk to. He’s only my chauffeur.”
Seeing that she looked like a jade carving and had an elegant and beautiful appearance, the crowd instantly knew that she was a rich heiress.
Upon hearing this, the man pointed a finger at her. “You’ll be the one to pay up then!”
Mu Xiaoxiao sneered, “Why should I pay you anything?”
The man was stunned. He thought that she was a little girl who could be easily bullied into giving him moeny obediently, and never expected to be pushed back.
He made a menacing expression and howled at Mu Xiaoxiao, “Your chauffeur hit me, so of course you have to pay!”
“Oh? He hit you? Really sorry about that,” Mu Xiaoxiao smiled lightly as she said.
Since she had refused to pay up earlier, the man thought that she was a ruthless person. Thus, he was stunned by these words of hers.
“Then hurry up and pay up!”
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled as she looked at him and said, “Sure, we’ll definitely pay up if we hit you. However… are you sure that your injury was caused by us, and not something you already had? Or… is it fake?”
The man’s expression changed as he gritted his teeth and said, “Of course my injury is caused by your chauffeur. Or are you saying that I injured myself on purpose?”
