Chapter 701 - The So-Called Compensation (1/2)

Everyone else was easy to deal with, but they had not even seen Chu Lui.

“What do you intend to do? Sue them?”

Chu Lui cut his apple into small pieces, which made it easy on her throat and easy for consumption. His voice continued, “If you’d like… we can make sure they go out of business.

“Come eat.” His voice was lighthearted as if discussing the weather. However, he was not… he was talking about the survival of a mall.

If they sued, a large number of people would need to take responsibility for this. They would lose their jobs, and that would be the end for them.

Xia Ruoxin picked up a piece of apple with a toothpick.

Eating was less uncomfortable for her now. Even though her throat still hurt, it was not as unbearable as it was before.

As she swallowed the apple, the coolness of it moisturized her throat. She opened her mouth but still could not speak. Sometimes, she wondered if her throat had been hurt permanently. However, the doctors and nurses reassured her every day, and she could not tell anything from Chu Lui’s expression.

The man always concealed his thoughts rather well. If he wanted to hide something, she would never find out what was on his mind.

Every day, she would think of how indifferent she was if she were to become mute after she lost the proper function of her arm.

However, things improved over the next few days. She could make some sounds. It was only then that she started to believe that her throat would heal over time.

Chu Lui’s phone suddenly rang. This happened several times a day. Chu Lui stood up and went over to the balcony to take the call. Because of the distance and the closed door, Xia Ruoxin could not really make out what he was saying. She only caught him turning the compensation down and saying that he wanted to sue them.

Sue?

Xia Ruoxin thought to herself as she touched her neck. Given the man’s character, he would not have settled so easily. That was why no one dared to mess with him in the business circle.

He was vengeful, and he had the means of executing his revenge.

Chu Lui walked over and sat down after a while. By then, Xia Ruoxin was almost done eating the apples in the small bowl.

He picked up another bowl and began peeling it.

Xia Ruoxin rolled her eyes to herself. Since the doctor said that she could eat and suggested apples, the man had been peeling apples nonstop. Was he trying to turn her into an apple? Could he change things up sometime? Maybe pears would be a good change?

However, she ate whatever he peeled. It was an honor to be able to eat the fruits peeled by the Great CEO Chu.

After taking a few more pieces, she placed the bowl on the table.

She then took out her notepad and started writing on it.

“What do you intend to do with that mall?”

“What else can I do?” Chu Lui pouted. “What’s the point in keeping a mall with such lousy safety features? It’s good that they shut down. It just so happens that I’m interested in that piece of land. I can use it to build an amusement park for my daughter.”
