“Little girl, you’re so young. How did you learn to lie with your eyes wide open? I was clearly walking properly in front, but you suddenly bumped into me,” the uncle argued.
“That’s right. Grandpa is already so old. How can he deliberately accuse a little girl like you?!”
“Look at how swollen his leg is. It’s definitely not fake.”
“You’re a young lady. It doesn’t matter if you did something wrong, as long as you’re brave enough to take responsibility. He definitely won’t make things difficult for you.”
The people around them discussed.
“He won’t make things difficult for me?” Lan Xin was a little anxious. Sweat broke out on her forehead. “Grandpa, aren’t you making things difficult for me now? You know very well that I didn’t hit you at all.”
It was all her fault for being lazy. The dash recorder had broken down and had not been installed again, causing her to not even have evidence today.
“The world is really unpredictable now! My leg is already so swollen, but you still say you didn’t hit me! Young people nowadays really don’t learn anything good!” The old man was snotty again.
Lan Xin looked at the uncle’s swollen area and could not bear it. She squatted down and said, “Grandpa, why don’t we do this? I’ll send you to the hospital first. Can I compensate you with some medical fees? I’m in a hurry to work now. I’ll see you after I get off work. When the time comes, I’ll pay you as much as the doctor says.”
“No, you little girl must be thinking of running. Where will I look for you then?!” When the old man heard this, he quickly hugged Lan Xin’s calf tightly.
“Just give it to me now. Also, I’ll definitely need more nutrition after I’m done with the treatment. You still have to pay my nutrition fees.”
Lan Xin was a little impatient and asked, “Grandpa, just say it. How much do you want?!”
“200,000 yuan!” The old man reported a number.
“200,000 yuan?” Lan Xin’s eyes widened in surprise. “Grandpa, you’re joking. Your leg is just swollen.”
“What do you mean just my leg is swollen? I don’t even know if it’s because you bumped into my leg. Maybe I’ll even have to amputate it. How am I going to live then? 200,000 yuan isn’t a lot! I haven’t even asked you to support me in my old age!” the old man was shameless.
“That’s right. The old man doesn’t even have a leg left, so young lady, you shouldn’t criticize him.”
“You’re a young lady and you’re wearing such good clothes. You can’t even bear to spend this little money.”
The crowd spoke again.
“Grandpa, I’m really helpless about this number. I can only give you some medical fees! How is your current state like you have a serious leg problem? You’re even more energetic than me,” Lan Xin said. She struggled a few times and wanted to pull her leg out.
“Young lady, aren’t you accusing him? The people beside us all saw it. He can’t even stand up,” someone said.
“That’s right. You guys are still the best. I’m just an old man who’s dozens of years old. If I suddenly get knocked down like this, there might be other problems when the time comes, but the young lady is so unreasonable!” the old man echoed.
“Young lady, if you think it’s unfair, we’ll call the police. I want to see what the police say!” the old man shouted again.
Call the police? She had no evidence, so wouldn’t they listen to the old man’s words?
Just as she was in a difficult position, a person suddenly came out of the crowd and said, “Grandpa, please call the police.”
Lan Xin saw that this person was wearing extraordinary clothes. He was clearly a rich man. Coupled with the fanning of the crowd beside him earlier, she had already classified him as a good-for-nothing. She thought that he was also helping that old man speak.
“You can’t call the police. Even if I make sense, I can’t explain clearly. You’re even delaying my work.” Lan Xin frowned, but she still maintained basic courtesy.
“Don’t worry. The police report is based on evidence. I have it,” Ye Lin said with a confident expression.
“You have evidence?” Lan Xin’s eyes widened suddenly.
