673 A Million Times for You 35 (1/2)

Without further delay, An Xiaoning gave the eight of them a medical card each, which contained credit that could only be used for footing medical bills. On top of that, she also gave them another cash card that contained five thousand dollars for their food expenses. The money would be sufficient to last them for months, if they did not splurge on anything else except food and necessities.

She then brought the four other servants to purchase some daily necessities, beds, blankets, undergarments, clothing, shoes, hats, scarves, food and beverages, as well as several other household supplies.

On the way home, No. 11 said, ”Master, you're the first person who's treated us like humans.”

To An Xiaoning, perceiving her servants as humans were the basics of being a good employer.

”Since I've bought your indentures, you guys belong to me now. Of course I'd treat you well.”

”Master, now that the eight of them have been hospitalized, what else do the six of us have to do at home apart from supervising the construction?” No. 5 asked.

”You don't have to do anything else. I've noticed that all of you are wounded and injured. Just rest and recuperate for the time being. I can't come home every single day, so take good care of yourselves and nourish your bodies properly with nutritious food.”

The four of them were deeply touched to hear her heartwarming words.

They had been subjected to inhumane treatment ever since they were young and had never carried hopes for a good life. However, they were beginning to see a glimmer of hope now.

There were three floors in the mansion. An Xiaoning allowed them to live on the third floor while she took the second, leaving the ground floor empty.

After handing them the instructions, she drove toward Beijia Bay.

When she passed by the junction, she stopped and waited for the red light to turn green. All of a sudden, she felt another car ramming against hers from behind, greatly taking her by surprise.

However, she was unscathed since she had her safety belt on.

She unbuckled her safety belt and alighted to take a look. Unfortunately for her, the paint on the bonnet of her car had chipped off. She then turned around, only to see that the driver of the car was Shi Shaochuan.

Raging with fury at the sight of him refusing to alight despite having rammed into someone else's car, An Xiaoning stormed toward his car and knocked on his window.

Shi Shaochuan alighted and said, ”I'll pay for the repair.”

An Xiaoning squinted at him and said, ”Money is not the issue. The problem is, you're delaying my time.”

”Are you trying to extort me? An Xiaoning, I'm no pushover. It doesn't cost much to retouch the paint of your car. It's not that serious,” Shi Shaochuan scoffed, sizing her up.

”It's indeed not too serious, but as I've said, you've hindered me from going about what I'm supposed to. There are so many cars behind us. Don't get in the way of traffic and just compensate me with triple the repair costs.”

”You… are you trying to rip me off?” Shi Shaochuan questioned, glaring at her angrily.

An Xiaoning whipped her phone out and sneered, ”Forget it, I'll call the police and leave them to handle this. I reckon having my ex-husband run into my car on purpose would be a newsworthy topic, wouldn't it? I just happen to have invested in a drama that is about to begin filming soon. Why don't you help me publicize it?”

”An Xiaoning! I didn't do it on purpose!” Shi Shaochuan hollered, gritting his teeth in anger.

”Stop wasting time and give me the money.” An Xiaoning felt the need to get back at him at the thought of the two years of her youth that she had wasted on this damned jerk.

”How much do you want?”

”Hmm, the retouching of the paint should cost around one hundred thousand dollars. You may give me three hundred thousand dollars.”

The snake-like queue of cars behind them began sounding their horns incessantly. He rolled his eyes at An Xiaoning and said, ”Give me your bank account number, I'll transfer you the money now.”

An Xiaoning immediately gave him her account number, and she received the three hundred thousand dollars less than a minute later.

How quick.

An Xiaoning smirked and said, ”Please drive carefully in the future. It's okay if you run into my car, but it'd be dire if you run into a big shot whom you can't afford to offend. Anyway, it's only three hundred thousand dollars, it's not worth getting all riled up because of it.”

Before he could even respond, she turned around and got inside her car to drive away.
