Chapter 795 — Wei Zhao Is Here Again
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Kang Jingming? Crushed to death? How was he crushed? Is it true? If he really was crushed to death, that would be the best news in the world!" Xiaofen's mother was stunned for a moment, then said delightedly.
Seeing that expression on her mother's face, Xiaofen knew how much her mother loathed Kang Jingming — to hear that he was dead actually made her this happy! Though Xiaofen hated Kang Jingming too, having seen him crushed to death with her own eyes, she still felt a little uneasy that she could clearly have saved him and yet had not stopped it.
She was a kind person. Even though Kang Jingming had done things to her that were beyond the pale, Xiaofen had never thought of killing anyone.
"Ah, it's a long story..." And so Xiaofen told her mother about Kang Jingming coming to see her this morning, including the fact that Kang Jingming had compensated her with five hundred thousand yuan...
"Really? He gave you five hundred thousand? Seems his heart isn't so bad after all?" Xiaofen's mother was taken aback. She had not expected Kang Jingming to actually pay her daughter five hundred thousand — so he wasn't completely devoid of conscience after all; he still had a bit of a good heart?
She had once envied Tang's mother's family, saying that when Tang Jucheng's leg was crushed, they had actually been compensated three million, while her own Xiaofen's leg had been ruined with no compensation at all. She never thought it would come true today. Life was truly marvelous — sometimes everything changed overnight.
"I don't know. But he and Wei Zhao said it was hush money, to keep me from ever mentioning what happened between us in front of others." Xiaofen told her mother. "Wei Zhao said Kang Jingming wants to pursue Nurse Guan Xin at the hospital and was afraid I'd make trouble for him, so that's why he gave me five hundred thousand!"
"What? Is that so? A leopard can't change its spots!" Hearing that Kang Jingming's reason for paying was this, Xiaofen's mother was instantly furious. "Then we should take this money all the more — why not, since it's free! With a person like that, take however much he gives you from now on!"
Hearing her mother say the same, Xiaofen no longer felt the pressure she had before, and nodded.
Xiaofen's mother was overjoyed. With Wei Zhao here, he had forced Li Cihua to compensate the residents of the shantytown according to the standard, and her own family had come into five hundred thousand yuan out of thin air — a windfall beyond all expectation. With that money, buying a spacious new home would be more than covered, with enough left over for appliances, furniture, and renovations.
She decided to go find Tang's mother that very afternoon and have her take her to look at houses. Their own home was gone already; this was something that had to be settled quickly, without any further delay.
Over there, Li Cihua's tune suddenly changed: he would compensate the shantytown residents according to the standard. The former residents stopped making a fuss. In truth, their demands had been simple — as long as they were compensated according to the standard, that was enough!
They did not expect a rich and powerful real estate company like Li Cihua's to pay them any more than that, and in fact they did not dare cross Li Cihua. Li Cihua's name rang loud throughout Songshan City — he was the number one man in the underworld.
Kang Jingming was sitting in Xiaofen's home watching television, thinking smugly to himself that from now on he could pursue Guan Xin boldly and without restraint. What kind of injury should he arrange for himself next? It had to be an external wound, and not too slight either — otherwise, what if Guan Xin just handed him another band-aid to send him on his way?
