How could that family agree? They immediately acted shamelessly: “What evidence do you have to say that my son broke the bag?” How could the lawyer come to him without preparing the evidence? He showed the surveillance video to the other party, but the other party still did not take it seriously: “It’s just a child’s play. Why are you guys so aggressive?”
“We’re only asking for compensation according to the normal legal procedures. The child’s guardian, who is you, should be responsible for the damage caused by the underage child. You need to pay 180,000 RMB.”
180,000 RMB was not a small sum anywhere. To Xie He, this money was just one of many bags, but to that family, it was the income of a few years. Xie He never showed up again. She entrusted the rest of the matters to her lawyer and left them to handle.
Later on, she heard that the family had sold the scooter and the insurance that the elderly had paid had been returned. After a few years, the elder fell ill and was hospitalized. The family owed a lot of money. In the end, the elder passed away and they sold the house.
Teacher Tan said that the tragedy was caused by a basketball. She did not sympathize with the family’s experience. She said that they had planted the cause and naturally had to bear the consequences. Although Xie He did not lack the hundred thousand, there was no reason for her to lose this money either.
That family had always doted on their children. Although the people in the alley were usually annoying, they rarely argued with them. However, one day, society would mercilessly teach them a heavy lesson.
Since that incident, Jin Nian suddenly realized that beautiful women could be very gentle when they smiled, but they could also be very ruthless when they did things. The year she graduated, Xie He looked for Jin Nian, hoping that she could go to another school. Jin Nian regretted it in the end, but she could not blame anyone since she decided to do it.
In fact, after that incident, Xie He went to Jin Nian’s school. To express her apology, Xie He gave her a check worth 100,000 RMB. Of course, Jin Nian would not accept it. She told Xie He very straightforwardly that she did not want to see her again. In exchange, Jin Nian promised to keep her promise and not tell Lu An that Xie He had looked for her.
Xie He was a person of her words. She had not appeared in front of Jin Nian even once all these years. However, every year on New Year’s Eve, Jin Nian’s parents and herself would receive gifts from Xie He. Therefore, Teacher Tan had always thought that Xie He was an easy-going person and often praised her in front of Jin Nian.
When Jin Nian received a call from Xie He many years later, her heart skipped a beat. However, when she thought about how she was no longer facing it alone and that there was still the arrogant and despotic Lu An behind her, she did not seem to be so afraid.
Xie He said that she wanted to meet Jin Nian over the phone. Jin Nian said that she was working. Even if she had time, she felt that there was no need for them to meet again.
Xie He was still as domineering as before: “It won’t take too much of your time. Ten minutes will do. I’ll wait for you at the entrance of your company.”
Jin Nian heard this and her hair stood on end. She could not believe it: “How did you know the location of my company?”
“Jin Nian, don’t be too nervous. 1 mean no harm. Your mother told me the address of your company. Just ten minutes. I won’t take too long.”
She still could not escape meeting her.
Jin Nian quickly took out some makeup from her bag to touch up her makeup. She even changed her red lipstick to a slightly more mature rose bean color so that she could put on an invisible armor. She slowly walked downstairs and recognized Xie He’s car from the row of cars parked at the entrance of the company.
The car plate number was five eights, a black Rolls-Royce.
Seeing Jin Nian, Xie He lowered the car window and waved at her in a familiar manner, “Niannian, here.”
It had been so many years since they last met, but Xie He’s face was actually not much different from the one in Jin Nian’s memory. In fact, it was even more exquisite. She cut her hair short and looked neat.
What was different from before was that she did not have any makeup on her face. There were no wrinkles on her face at all, her complexion was clean and fair. This face, which was very similar to Lu An’s, was very noble.
Jin Nian walked to the car and stopped. She just wanted to hear the other party out before leaving. However, Xie He took the initiative to get out of the car and hold her, “It’s not convenient to talk by the roadside.”
Xie He was wearing a white shirt and jeans. The shoes were dirty shoes that had been popular in recent years. The style was very different from the way a strong woman dressed. She looked like a caring big sister, which made people unconsciously lower their vigilance..
