1118 Perplexed and Smitten 178 (2/2)
”We understand. Rest assured, we won't spout any nonsense.”
”Okay.”
While they were leaving, An Xiaoning instructed Fan Shixin, ”Draft a document and include the non-disclosure term that I've just mentioned, as well as another one that forbids them from racing again. Those who fail to adhere will have to pay five million dollars each. Also, warn them that they're not allowed to take part in races secretly. Since Henry was partly to blame for this incident, we don't need them to fork out the medical bills. All they have to do is comply and abide by the terms stated in the agreement.”
”That bunch of kids are pretty good at racing. I reckon this is their greatest hobby and interest. Although Henry was partly to blame for the incident, it was too atrocious of them to ram into someone else on purpose.”
”Forget it, let's give them a chance to repent and let them off this time. I believe they've reflected on their mistakes and really got a huge fright this time.”
Fan Shixin said, ”I could tell too. Xiao Bai told me today that they even huddled up together and wept. They must have been scared out of their wits.”
”I'm going to the hospital now.”
”Drive safely.”
”Okay.”
When An Xiaoning parked her car in the car park of the hospital, she returned a missed call that was then picked up by one of the bodyguards outside the ward.
”Has that woman left yet?”
”Not yet.”
”Got it.”
She ended the call and grabbed her purse that was sitting on the passenger's seat.
The bodyguards had a feeling that she would be arriving soon. After waiting for more than half an hour, she finally showed up.
She was dressed in a pink floral dress with a white purse in one hand and a paper bag in the other.
The bodyguards caught sight of what it was when she approached.
It was a bag of alcohol.
Just as the bodyguards were about to greet her, she motioned for them to stop.
She held onto the handle of the door and pushed the door open gently.
She entered.
The aroma of fried chicken wafted up to her nose the moment she stepped foot inside the ward.
At the sight of her, Hu Xin stood up from the chair while remaining calm and composed, not in the least bit uncomfortable at all.
”I heard from the bodyguards that you've already eaten so I didn't bring you any food. Who bought all these food?” An Xiaoning asked.
”Ms. Hu did,” Henry answered.
An Xiaoning smiled and said, ”What's wrong with you? How could you make someone else go to that expense when they're here to visit you?”
She then opened her white purse and took out her wallet. After estimating the costs of all the food and beer on the table, she handed Hu Xin three hundred dollars and said, ”You may keep the change. Just take it as an errand fee.”
However, Hu Xin refused, ”I was the one who wanted to treat Mr. Jin to this meal. Besides, I've had some of the food too. I won't take your money.”
”You're giving Mr. Jin a treat?” She walked toward Hu Xin and stuffed the money into her cleavage. ”How is he related to you? Why do you need to treat him to a meal? Save the money for yourself. None of us here is cash-strapped. Qingyan and I detest owing an acquaintance a favor.”
Hu Xin looked up at her and pulled the cash out of her cleavage.
