Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 373 - 371 Sticky Rice Cake

What pride is there to speak of as a poor person?

Brazen talk, for a single woman, just look how she will cope with hundreds of thousands in repair costs.

Jiayi was too lazy to pay attention to this man, feeding Zaizai milk and cake.

It was getting dark.

The IV had finished, Zaizai’s face was somewhat pale, but he was still in good spirits, and the fever had subsided.

At the same time, Ade’s call came in, saying the paparazzi had left. He had circled around the road to shake off the paparazzi, and was now back at the entrance of the maternity hospital, ready for the Boss to come out.

Jiayi carried her son, silently following the man out of the hospital.

Seeing Huo Zhenyang walk towards the BMW, Zaizai said softly, "Mommy, you’ve lost your wallet, how will we get back?"

Out of the corner of her eye, Jiayi saw the man ahead turn his head, instructing the Ade by the BMW, "You take the two of them home first, I have other matters to attend to."

Jiayi’s heart eased a bit, in fact, thinking about it, it was indeed Zaizai who had caused trouble today, and she felt somewhat guilty. She was about to say thank you, but then she heard the man’s shadow, which was as dark as the night, pause, and his voice drifted over:

"Whether the two of you are sick or injured, get well soon. My secretary will send the detailed list of compensation claims to your phone within two hours."

Although he wasn’t short of that few hundred thousand for repair costs, that didn’t mean he was willing to let others take advantage of him.

If everyone came to take advantage and then played the poor card, did they think the world was so cheap?

The cold and ruthless words hit like a huge wave, suppressing the gratitude Jiayi had just begun to feel.

Before the harsh reality, Jiayi could only lower her head, softening her tone, "Mr. Huo, could the compensation for the repair fee be a little less..."

Huo Zhenyang’s voice was indifferent, "Where’s the backbone and confidence from earlier? Didn’t you say you would definitely compensate? If you have any objections or disagreements with the compensation amount, or if you don’t repay the money within the stipulated time, I won’t mind having a lawyer pay you a personal visit to have a detailed discussion."

With that, he turned his tall frame and walked towards the other side of the street.

A cold sweat broke out on Jiayi’s back.

Zaizai also realized that he had really caused a problem this time and closed his mouth, weighed down with worries.

...

On the way back, the car passed by Yundu Building, and Jiayi got her handbag back.

By the time they arrived at Fuyah Residential Area, it was dinnertime and the neighborhood was lit up with household lights.

At Jiayi’s request, Ade dropped the two of them off at the entrance of the residential area and then left.

Walking into the residential area, standing in front of their building, Jiayi stopped and said to Zaizai, "Don’t tell grandma about what happened today, pretend you don’t know anything. Let Mommy tell her, so she won’t worry, Do you hear me?"

Zaizai nodded.

Back home, when Jiayi entered with Zaizai in her arms, Xia Tingxuan hurried over, "Why did you come back so late? I called your phone but no one answered. Did you take Zaizai to see the doctor? How did the job interview go?"

Jiayi was tired and placed Zaizai in the bedroom before returning to the living room.

Jiayi didn’t want to tell her mother the truth.

If the repair fee for that luxury car was really that high, neither her mother nor she could afford to pay it.

Then, to protect herself and Zaizai, Mom might go to the Chu Family...

She knew if Mommy wanted to rely on the Chu Family, she wouldn’t have taken her away from Daddy time and again.

In Mommy’s heart, the resentment towards Daddy had never vanished.

For the sake of going to the Chu Family and lowering her voice, Mommy would definitely be holding her breath.

She didn’t want Mommy to suffer any grievances.

She didn’t want her peaceful and happy life in Yunling City to come to an end just like that.

After much thought, Jiayi tried to be as tactful as possible, "Mommy, Zaizai accidentally scratched someone’s car today, and we might need to compensate a bit of money. We were resolving this matter outside and also took Xiaobao to the hospital for a check-up, so we came back a little late."

Xia Tingxuan was startled, "Scratched someone’s car? Although Zaizai is mischievous, he wouldn’t be so out of line. How much do we need to compensate?"

Jiayi had already made up her mind, and now went all out, "It’s not too much, that car wasn’t very expensive, don’t worry, I’ll handle it. Oh, right, Mommy, I haven’t told you yet. I should have no problem getting hired at Yundu, and I might be able to start working this month. The salary and benefits at Yundu are so good, a few months’ wages should be more than enough to cover the compensation! You just relax!"

Upon hearing that her daughter had successfully applied and could start at Yundu, Xia Tingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and seeing her daughter’s calm tone, she didn’t ask more questions.

The night deepened.

After patting Zaizai to sleep, Jiayi, who had just finished her bath, came out and her phone vibrated.

Her heart skipped a beat as she slid it open to check.

Indeed, it was a detailed invoice for the luxury car’s repair costs.

It was about the same as what he had previously quoted.

She hardly dared to look at each specific item and instead scrolled directly to the total at the bottom.

The grand total of seven hundred and eighty thousand in capital letters was shocking, making her hands and feet feel cold.

...

In the middle of the night, Jiayi tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Only when Mommy in the next room and Zaizai by her side had breathed deeply and fallen sound asleep did Jiayi climb out of bed, hold onto her phone, shut the door, and walked alone onto the balcony.

She took out the piece of paper Ade had given her before and dialed the man’s number according to the contact information on it.

After a few seconds, a man’s voice as rich as coffee came from the other end, "Who is this?"

The stillness of the night made the man’s voice circle around on the balcony as if it were right by her ear.

Jiayi controlled her heartbeat, "It’s me, Mr. Huo."

Huo Zhenyang immediately recognized the voice on the phone and joked, "Are you calling to plead for mercy again, asking me to waive your compensation? Sorry, the compensation list my secretary sent you already has a ten percent discount."

"No," she mustered her courage, "but as you’ve seen, my current financial situation and family environment, just a recent graduate without a job, taking care of a young child all by myself, if the compensation is too much, I definitely won’t be able to afford it. Even if you hire a lawyer to come to my door and drive me to death, it’s useless... Now there’s only one way, let me work at Yundu, and I’ll only take half salary every month, the other half will go to you. What do you think?"

This woman, who seemed soft and tender like a sticky rice dumpling, had surprisingly shown herself to be a little fox, very calculating.

What? Did she want to pay in installments, as if buying a house?

Holding the phone, Huo Zhenyang replied with a cool tone, "Even if you did get a job at Yundu, I think it would take quite some time for half of your monthly wage to cover that compensation."

She was anxious, "But if you don’t let me into Yundu, I won’t have a penny, and I’d be even less likely to pay you back. Besides, if you let me work at Yundu, to show my sincerity, I won’t mention the incident where you bumped into me outside Yundu Building anymore, and I’ll delete all the photos I took that day."

A chill appeared in Huo Zhenyang’s eyes, and he fell silent.

Clenching the phone, Jiayi had never felt as nervous as she did tonight, as if she were awaiting a royal decree.
