As the security guards stepped away, Gao Shengyuan and his wife shambled to Nian Junting. Gao Shengyuan’s hair was grey, his eyes were sunken, and his face was filled with a sickly look. The red-eyed Mrs. Gao cried out loud as soon as she saw Nian Junting.
“Mr. Nian, we’re barely hanging on. Please forgive us,” she cried.
“Yeah, it’s a misunderstanding,” Gao Shengyuan chimed in. “About what happened to you in the hospital — we didn’t do it. Those workers from a construction site of our company did it, and I knew nothing about it. I lived in the hospital during the time, and I was too sick to even get out of the bed. We can’t go back home. We can’t go back to the hospital either. Mr. Nian, you see, we’ve been working together for years, and I’m an old man. Please give us a break, please. You’re such a generous man.”
After saying that, Gao Shengyuan dragged his wife down to the ground and began kowtowing again.
“Ahyaya, what a busy morning.” Xiao Si walked in slowly with a wicked smile while tossing his car keys, as if he was here to watch a show.
“Mr. Xiao, please intercede with Mr. Nian for me!” Gao Shengyuan hurriedly turned to grab Xiao Si’s pants.
“Oi, don’t touch me!” Xiao Si stepped away immediately, as if Gao Shengyuan had some kind of infectious disease. “Old people like to blackmail others these days. You’re at this age, so I don’t want to take responsibility if you faint.”
Hearing his sarcastic words, Gao Shengyuan’s wrinkled face froze a little. Then, he turned back to continue kowtowing to Nian Junting.
“Enough.” Nian Junting narrowed his eyes, which were radiating coldness, and said, “If you want me to give you a break, you’re gonna have to ask this lady beside me first. From the beginning to the end, she’s one who suffered the greatest harm. Let’s see if she agrees.”
While speaking, he fixed his eyes on Luosang with a meaningful look, and the others did the same.
