Chapter 349: What Happened to My Parents?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Sun Qiang went to the hospital at around 9 pm.
Just as he reached the door of the ward, he heard Su Jiao insulting the nurse. He immediately frowned.
It was understandable that she was in a bad mood after getting disfigured, but who could stand it if she kept venting her anger on other people?
Ever since Su Jiao woke up, almost 30 nurses had been scolded away. If this continued, no one would come help her anymore.
Thinking of this, Sun Qiang knocked on the door and entered the ward.
When Su Jiao saw that it was him, she was a little excited and a little aggrieved. Today was the day Chen Rourou was sentenced. She could not appear in court because of her injury, so she could only wait for him and the others to return.
However, after waiting for an entire day, she could not get through to neither Sun Qian nor her parents’ phones. Su Jiao could only scold the nurses to vent her anger.
“Ah Qiang, what’s the result?” Su Jiao asked anxiously when she saw Sun Qiang. “Why are you only here now? What happened to my parents? Why didn’t they come with you?”
Sun Qiang glanced at the nurse beside him.
Su Jiao immediately understood and immediately said, “Hurry up and get out of here. You’re so insensible. I spent so much money to hire a piece of trash like you.”
The nurse did not say anything else. She just nodded and immediately turned around to leave.
After the nurse left, Su Jiao immediately said, “Ah Qiang, you can tell me now. What was the result?”
“Intentional injury. She was given ten years in prison,” said Su Qiang, sighing in disappointment.
Su Jiao said in anger, “What? Intentional injury? That was clearly an attempted murder! It would be fine if they labelled it as intentional injury, but why was she only sentenced for 10 years? I almost died!
“How much is the fine?”
“None.” Sun Qiang hesitated for a moment.
Hearing that there was no fine, Su Jiao almost jumped up from the hospital bed.
“What?” she asked. “Did I hear wrongly? That’s just unfair. Is the judge’s head full of sh*t?”
“Jiaojiao, watch your words,” Sun Qiang said. “Uncle and Auntie were detained because they couldn’t control their emotions in court.”
“What?” Su Jiao was stunned and then said unhappily, “How did they get detained? Why didn’t you help them?”
Sun Qiang had already guessed that she would say this and was already prepared to respond.
“That’s why I arrived to you late. I went to plead for them,” said Sun Qiang.
Su Jiao couldn’t bear to see Sun Qiang’s aggrieved face.
She said, “I’m sorry, Ah Qiang. I misunderstood you,”
“It’s alright,” Sun Qiang said, feigning guilt. “It’s a pity that I was so busy and wasn’t able to help Uncle and Auntie.”
“Ah Qiang, you don’t have to feel guilty. I can imagine my parents getting so furious with such a verdict.” Su Jiao sighed.
Sun Qiang looked at her guiltily. He said, “Jiaojiao, I’m really sorry. I was too useless. I couldn’t protect them.”
“It’s not your fault.” she sighed again. “Once they go crazy, no one can control them.”
“That’s true,” Sun Qiang nodded and changed the topic. “Jiaojiao, what do you want to eat? I’ll buy it for you.”
“I’ve already eaten. Haven’t you?” she replied.
He shook his head, “I don’t have much of an appetite right now,”
Sun Qiang seemed to recall something as he said that. He continued, “Oh right, Jiaojiao. Director Yan said that he’s preparing to change the second female lead, and I agreed to terminate the contract. Director Yan will compensate you with 10,000 yuan. It’s already been deposited into your bank account.”
When Su Jiao heard that she had been replaced and only got 10,000 yuan as compensation, she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart.
“Ah Qiang, are you kidding me?” she asked. “You agreed over 10,000? Am I that worthless? They didn’t compensate me for such a serious injury, and that’s already very excessive. Now, you terminated my contract so easily? Who do you think you are?”
“Jiaojiao, I know you’re angry,” Sun Qiang said earnestly. “But do you think I wanted to do that? If we don’t give in and continue to be in a stalemate with Director Yan, there won’t be a good outcome for us. Why don’t we just give him some face? That way it’ll be easier to do things in the future.”
Yan Jin’s position in the entertainment industry was not something Sun Qiang could offend. On the surface, he agreed to terminate the contract so easily for Su Jiao’s sake. However, he actually did it just so his future path would be easier.
If it were any other unknown director, Sun Qiang would not have swallowed his pride like this.
Su Jiao choked with emotion and said, “I know they’re strict and we can’t afford to offend them. But why should we be the ones suffering? I’m under that production team’s wing. Why shouldn’t they compensate me? I must sue them over this!”
“Jiaojiao,” Sun Qiang said, “I know you’ve been wronged. Don’t cry, or it’ll affect your wounds..”
