Chapter 129 – The chime of money being sent couldn’t have been a bigger irony to him (3)
As for Meng Qiang, he expressed to the cops that he had a bit too much to drink and wasn’t thinking straight and that he was willing to apologize to the victims and pay for his mistake. He didn’t have any of the arrogance on him earlier when he was in the office. He stooped very low for his mistake.
As much as Li XinYun found this man repulsive, since the damage of his action was very minor, the maximum sentence was five days jail time.
She rejected his so-called apology and payment, nor would she agree to settling. If a 5-day jail sentence was the most she could get, then so be it.
It was already the evening when she walked out of the police station. Her entire afternoon was wasted.
Zhang Bi had already rinsed his eyes a lot, but they were still feeling uncomfortable. Suppressing his anger, he feigned gentleness and said, “It’s alright. A girl should know how to defend herself.”
Li XinYun nodded and said, “Yes, I agree.”
Zhang Bi, “……”
What could he say to that? He rarely ran into girls like Li XinYun. He couldn’t even maintain a conversation with her.
“Even though my eyes are still hurting, I am glad that you are fine.” Zhang Bi hinted that he was the victim here.
Li XinYun apologized again wholeheartedly, “I am so sorry. Oh yeah, how much do you make a month?”
Zhang Bi was a little stunned. He was baffled by this random question. “Ours is a family business.” He didn’t really have a title. He just collected money every month.
He tried to emphasize his extraordinary status. Like a male peacock, he was doing his best to show her his feathers.
“Hmm, okay. Let’s just say 50,000 yuan then,” said Li XinYun.
“I figured I interrupted three workdays of yours so that comes to say, $6,000. I’ll make it an even 8,000 yuan including medical fees.”
Zhang Bi: !
She felt that she was already being very generous. It was flawless anyway anyone would look at it.
Zhao Xue, Li XinYun’s classmate, was completely baffled by this. She had noticed that Zhang Bi was particularly gentle toward Li XinYun and thought maybe there would be something between the two of them. Afterall, not only was Zhang Bi very good looking, he also didn’t look like he was short of money. Who could turn down a suitor like him? Somehow, Li XinYun was able to treat this entire situation like a business transaction.
Zhang Bi’s eyelids flickered. He was having a hard time maintaining his gentle appearance.
Li XinYun pulled out her cellphone and said to him, “Open up your QR code. I’ll transfer money over to you.”
Zhang Bi wanted to puke out blood, but he had no choice but to turn on his cellphone and pull up his QR code.
The chime of money being sent couldn’t have been a bigger irony to him. He did not need that extra 8,000 yuan!
Li XinYun felt that she no longer owed Zhang Bi anything else after the money transfer. She said to her classmate Zhao Xue, “Let’s head back.”
“….. okay.”
On their way out, Zhao Xue said to her softly, “I thought you’d want to take him out to dinner or something to thank him.”
Li XinYun shook her head. With an indecipherable look, she said, “Nah. I don’t want to be scammed.”
“Huh?”
“I am a young, pretty, and wealthy girl. Many view me as an opportunity to save ten years of hard work. What if I couldn’t get rid of him?” Which was why she’d rather settle the issue with money.
Zhao Xue nodded. Judging from those two bodyguards, Li XinYun must be from a very good family. It’d make sense that she’d worry about something like that.
“That is true. He was a bit overly enthusiastic. It was either love at first sight or that he wanted to skip out on ten years of hard work. You can’t be too safe.”
“Right? I have a lot of experiences when it comes to something like this. I feel that I am quite smart.”
Luckily, Zhang Bi did not hear their conversation. Had he heard it, he just might have liver pain from being too angry.
