Chapter 57: Why Should I Compensate?
After listening to Liu Zining’s analysis, Liu Haoyu withdrew his gaze from the other party’s white stockings.
Alright, Liu Haoyu admitted, he hadn’t listened much.
After all, a beautiful girl wearing white stockings and crossing her legs was sitting in front of him, with glimpses of her spring scenery… who could resist that?
He just didn’t know why… he always felt a bit chilly behind him, as if something was watching him.
“Hello?” Liu Zining saw Liu Haoyu lost in thought and couldn’t help but wave her hand in front of him, complaining: “What are you looking at? You’re so spaced out?”
“Ahem!” Liu Haoyu coughed a couple of times, then continued; “Sorry, I was thinking about something just now.”
“It seems I have to start over…”
Liu Zining didn’t mind his gaze. In fact, for a girl, others’ admiration was the greatest compliment to her appearance.
As they talked, Liu Zining ate, and they got along very harmoniously.
If an outsider saw them, they might think they were siblings who got along well.
And in the dark, Qin Liu, who had emerged from Hong Yu at some point, stared intently at the backs of the two.
Especially at Liu Haoyu, her gaze was so ice-cold that the man felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Qin Liu’s gaze was also attracted by the pile of barbecue on the table.
She was so hungry.
Ever since she remembered that she hadn’t eaten a single bite of food from the day before yesterday until now, the little gluttons in her stomach had been crying out.
Even though she was a ghost and didn’t need to eat, who could resist the temptation of delicious food?
It was just that because Liu Haoyu was sitting opposite a sister who wasn’t his sister, Qin Liu didn’t dare to reveal herself.
She knew her sister very well.
This girl’s intuition was very keen, and if she interacted too much with her, she would definitely discover something unusual.
In fact, Qin Liu also knew that the two previous interactions might have already made Liu Zining aware of her complex and restless heart.
Liu Zining could actually do that.
But it was impossible for them to acknowledge each other. She was Liu Qian’s sister, not hers.
So it was fine to stay like this…
As Qin Liu sighed while hiding in the bushes, very noisy sounds suddenly came from behind her.
“Why should I compensate?!”
It seemed like a woman was arguing with someone?
Qin Liu turned her head to look, and saw a woman standing in another barbecue stall.
And when Qin Liu saw the little boy beside the woman, her eyes widened immediately.
Wasn’t this the child she had saved from a cement truck in her past life?
Qin Liu recalled the situation at the time. For some reason, this boy suddenly rushed from the sidewalk into the road. She was relatively close, so she rushed over and pushed him away, but she was sent flying.
That would mean…
This woman was his mother?
Qin Liu followed the woman’s argumentative gaze and saw that the person opposite her should be a bailiff?
Seeing the woman’s unreasonable attitude, the bailiffs’ faces were a little unsightly.
“Ms. Wang, your child suddenly ran into the middle of the road, and Teacher Liu lost her life saving your child. Don’t you have any gratitude?”
“To put it mildly, the traffic police have also assigned responsibility to both parties. You are equally responsible with the tanker driver, which is already the greatest concession. If we were to really calculate it, you are the primary responsible party!”
“The truck driver has already given his compensation to the victim’s family, so please fulfill your obligation as soon as possible…”
Before the bailiff could finish, Ms. Wang said with a shrew-like scolding.
“It was the driver who hit someone, what does it have to do with me?!”
“And did I ask that teacher to save my son? Did I beg her?!”
“Look at my son, because she pushed him like that, his forehead is still broken this badly,”
“What if my son wouldn’t have been injured, but because she pushed him like that, he got injured instead? Who should I reason with about this matter?”
Listening to the woman’s sophistry, the bailiff’s expression grew increasingly uglier.
For some reason, the superior department asked them to obtain compensation from this woman, and they kept urging them to execute it quickly.
They had originally planned to reason with her, but this woman was completely unreasonable, like a continuously quacking mother duck.
So the bailiff’s expression turned darker and darker.
“Ms. Wang, we only follow procedures. Please provide the compensation owed to the victim’s family as soon as possible, otherwise we will consider compulsory enforcement and confiscate your household property for collateral.”
The voices of the two parties arguing were very loud, but because they were relatively far from Liu Haoyu and Liu Zining’s position, and separated by a street, they were not noticed by the two.
If Qin Liu’s hearing wasn’t so good, she might have overlooked it too.
Ms. Wang’s argument with the bailiff had attracted quite a few onlookers.
But even when faced with the pointing fingers of those around her, the woman was not ashamed. Instead, she said as if she were a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.
“No money, only one life,”
“I don’t have a house or a car,”
“Back home, there’s just a dilapidated house and two acres of land that no one farms, so take it!”
“Take it however you want! Get lost!”
With that, the woman pushed aside the onlookers and dragged her son away.
And after she left, not only were the bailiffs’ expressions unsightly, but even Qin Liu’s gaze became extremely cold.
She had kindly risked her life to save someone, but she ended up saving a thankless wretch.
Even a dog biting Lu Dongbin would have more humanity than this woman.
A cold killing intent rose in her heart, and her gaze became vacant…
But at this moment, Liu Haoyu’s voice sounded behind her.
“What are you looking at?”
Qin Liu immediately came back to her senses. She rubbed her face and quickly pretended that nothing had happened.
“Nothing, I was just a little curious why it was so lively over there.”
Looking at Qin Liu’s face, Liu Haoyu couldn’t help but reach out and pinch her.
Yes, it was indeed better to have a little ghost who was cute and silly like this.
Her previous demeanor was indeed too frightening.
However, Qin Liu also changed the topic and asked.
“Weren’t you having a good conversation with Liu Zining?”
“Uh… that’s what colleagues talk about.”
For some reason, Liu Haoyu suddenly felt a hint of displeasure and jealousy in Qin Liu’s words.
As expected, that stare behind him just now was the work of this little ghost.
“Would colleagues stare intently at each other’s white stockings?”
Qin Liu’s question made Liu Haoyu fall silent for a few seconds, after which the man frankly admitted.
“Is there anything wrong with men liking to look at white stockings?”
For this, he even gave a thumbs-up.
Qin Liu’s head was full of black lines.
This man… was hopeless.
Go live your life with white stockings.
