"Pei Yan, your words are as unpleasant as ever."

"What? You don't want to call me Mr. Pei anymore?" Pei Yan's lips curled up in a mocking tone.

This woman never speaks the truth. President Pei calls her nice, but she is just pretending to be nice to him. Now that she has become more powerful and feels that she has a backer, she is not even willing to say those high-sounding words.

Lin Man was holding the phone. When she saw Pei Yan taking out a cigarette box, she quickly stopped him and said, "Don't smoke here."

Pei Yan chuckled, holding a cigarette but not lighting it, and found a chair to sit down. "She has a bone fracture, not pneumonia, and she can't even breathe secondhand smoke. Lin Man, you might as well move her home and worship her as soon as possible."

As he said this, he still put away the cigarette.

"Shut up!"

Lin Man couldn't help feeling a little anxious as she listened to the voice on the phone.

Pei Yan looked at Lin Man with his dark eyes, "Why are you so angry all of a sudden? Are you unable to control yourself when you think about being abandoned by Ji Ze?"

Lin Man couldn't help but hang up the phone and turned to look at him, "Pei Yan, are you free?"

Pei Yan leaned back in his chair and looked up, "I'm not idle, but seeing how miserable you are now, I still have time to watch the fun."

Lin Man couldn't bear it any longer, so she picked up the pillow on the sofa and threw it at Pei Yan's face, but he caught it steadily and put it behind him.

Without waiting for Lin Man to speak, Ruan Rou stood at the door and knocked on it helplessly, "Ms. Lin... I want to talk to you."

Lin Man glanced at her and then looked away, continuing to work on the things in his hands. "If you come here again to talk about those old things, I think we have nothing to talk about."

It was nothing more than asking her to leave Ji Ze, or saying that Ji's mother didn't like her.

Ruan Rou was a little nervous, "No!"

"Ms. Lin, I came here today to talk to you about something else."

Lin Man looked up at Ruan Rou and saw Pei Yan took a phone call and left. She asked the teachers in the room to take good care of Xiaojun, and then went out with Ruan Rou.

In the fire escape.

"What do you want to talk about?"

Lin Man looked at Ruan Rou and saw that she kept her head down and didn't speak, looking very timid.

Ruan Rou's hands hanging down at both sides kept twisting her clothes, "I..."

Lin Man lost her patience and turned to leave, but Ruan Rou suddenly stopped her and said, "Ms. Lin, I'm here for the injured!" After saying that, Ruan Rou lowered her head again, "My aunt is old and can't stand a place like that. I hope you can not pursue the responsibility, or reconcile."

Ruan Rou finished speaking, as if she was afraid that Lin Man would not agree, and continued: "We will give the injured a compensation of 100,000 yuan."

Lin Man looked at Ruan Rou with a deep gaze.

After a while, she said, "Xiaojun hasn't recovered yet. When she gets better, you can talk to her in person."

After saying that, Lin Man turned around and was about to go back, but Ruan Rou stopped her and shook her head, "No! Miss Lin, I'm very worried about my aunt's health right now. She can't live without me for a day! You are the boss of the injured person. She works under you. How she is treated is up to you, isn't it?"

When Lin Man heard Ruan Rou's words, her brows slightly furrowed, "I respect Xiaojun's opinion and decision, you should go back first."

Ruan Rou refused to leave. She looked at Lin Man's back and shouted, "Ms. Lin! Please! If Mr. Ji comes back and knows what happened, he will blame me for not taking good care of you! Besides, with your current relationship with Mr. Ji, can you be so cruel as to abandon your aunt?"

"Mr. Ji is the most filial son. He only has aunt as his relative! If you refuse to sign the letter of apology now, Mr. Ji will be very disappointed in you when he comes back!"

Lin Man stopped walking, she slowly turned around, looked at Ruan Rou who was staring at her, and said calmly: "Ruan Rou, if it was me lying in bed today, I can tell you clearly that I would not sign the letter of apology, because everyone has to pay the price for their actions, and age and medical history are not bargaining chips to escape punishment."

Under Ruan Rou's astonished gaze, Lin Man turned around and left. After taking two steps, she stopped, turned back and spoke slowly.

"Also, Ji Ze is not the kind of person who will take his anger out on others at will, as you said. He knows etiquette and abides by it. He can't thank you enough for helping him take care of his mother. If this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't need to be so nervous."

After saying that, Lin Man turned around and went back to the ward without waiting for Ruan Rou to speak again.

Lin Man stayed with Xiaojun in the hospital for a week.

Xiaojun's physical condition gradually improved. Lin Man opened the window for ventilation, and Ruan Rou came in again with Ji's mother.

"Ms. Lin..." Ruan Rou's timid voice came. "My aunt wants to come and see you."

Lin Man turned around and almost thought she had heard it wrong. After someone was beaten up, instead of looking at the injured person, he looked at her?

Ji's mother narrowed her eyes deeply, being supported by Ruan Rou, and did not even glance at Xiaojun.

"Let's talk outside." Lin Man originally wanted to wash the curtains.

Ji's mother didn't move and kept a very high attitude.

"Ms. Lin, I don't have that much time to waste with you. If you have anything to say, just say it here! People who act uprightly don't do these fake things."

Lin Man found Ji's mother's appearance somewhat amusing, and her eyes turned cold.

"First, you took the initiative to come to me. Second, my friend doesn't want to see you. Your face appearing here will affect my friend's injury. If my friend's injury cannot be healed, I will sue you to the end!"

"You should have known who I am before you came. The last thing I need right now is money. You'd better not mess with me! Third, your upright and honest way of doing things, is it taking advantage of your seniority? Beating people up? I have never seen a more fake person than you."

Except sweetness.

"You!" Ji's mother was so angry that she covered her chest and stared at Lin Man with a pair of wrinkled eyes. "You are born by your mother but not taught by her! This is how you talk to your elders!"

Lin Man: "My education is only for reasonable people, because hooligans will not reason with you."

"Bastard!" Ji's mother also heard Lin Man scolding her and was very surprised!

"How dare you talk to me like that! Don't you want to marry my son?"

Lin Man looked at Ji's mother's mental state. She did not have any illness today and her emotions were very stable, just like a normal person.

Lin Man: "Let's not talk about whether we can get to that point. Even if I really want to marry your son, he is your son, not you. Why are you so excited?"

Lin Man didn't know whether all the elderly people nowadays were like this, or whether Ji's mother was the only exception, totally unable to communicate with normal people's thinking. But on second thought, Lin Man shook her head again, because Pei's mother was not like that.

Xiaojun also recognized the identity of Ji's mother, and hurriedly tried to get up and pull Lin Man, fearing that she would act impulsively. Lin Man shook her head at Xiaojun and stopped her from getting up.

"Lie down."

Mother Ji narrowed her eyes, "Miss Lin, please stop playing the role of a kindhearted person in front of me. You are pretending to be so affectionate, just for money, right? I have lived to this age, and I have seen all kinds of people and suffered all kinds of hardships!"
