The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 433 - 430: Beat Some More, Thousands of Yuan 12_1

"Are you really innocent?"

Mother Huang flared up. "Old man, what exactly are you implying?"

"You’ve been acting suspiciously with your sister lately. Every time I asked, you wouldn’t say a word. See? Look what a huge mess it’s become."

Mother Huang quibbled, "I was only doing it for our son."

"For our son? What nonsense are you spouting? You clearly just had too much time on your hands. It would have been one thing if it was just the two of you, but why did you drag your nephew into making a scene at the shop? As a grown man, he never should have started the fight..."

"How did we start the fight? It was clearly Yan Xixi who hit first."

"And you expect me to believe those two women could have injured your nephew?"

"Whose side are you on anyway, old man?"

"I’m not taking anyone’s side! You old hag, have you lived all these years for nothing? Why did you drag so many relatives into this? To make us a laughingstock?"

"It was my sister who called them. I didn’t."

"Your sister, your sister! Your sister has always been a troublemaker. You’ll see, in the end, our son will be the one to bear the consequences. Keep at it, old hag, keep making trouble until our son can’t stand you anymore!"

Mother Huang retorted angrily, "Just look at my leg... look... it’s so badly injured, such a huge bruise... And my back, it feels like it’s about to break... I won’t let this go. I’m going to sue Yan Xixi for intentional injury. I want her thrown in jail!"

"Old hag, by doing this, have you even considered how our son will feel?"

"HMPH!"

"When our son gets back, how are you going to explain this to him?"

"What’s there to explain? Let him see my injuries. Isn’t that enough? That little wretch dared to hit me, his mother! What does he still want with her? I’m her mother-in-law! Under the old laws, a rebellious and unfilial wretch like her would have had her entire clan implicated and punished!"

The old man just sighed.

"Enough is enough. You’ve caused such a massive scene. There’s no way our son can be with her now. Why must you drive her into a corner?"

"HMPH."

"I’m warning you, know when to stop. You just don’t believe anything bad can happen, do you? In the end, our son will be the one paying the price!"

Mother Huang gave a cold snort and turned her head away.

「The next day, Yan Xixi didn’t go to the shop.」

Xu Xiaoya rushed around by herself, looking utterly harried. On the third day, when Yan Xixi was feeling slightly better, she took a taxi to the shop.

Xu Xiaoya, with a worried frown, handed over a bill. "Xixi, look, they’re demanding another 50,000 from us! How could it possibly cost this much? They must have used their connections to conspire with the doctor. They’re blatantly overcharging us, trying to bleed us dry!"

Hospitals always have ways to make you spend money if you’re willing to pay. They offer all sorts of expensive imported medicines and health supplements. Forget 50,000 for two days; they could easily make you spend 500,000.

"Xixi, I don’t think we should pay any more. If we keep paying, they’ll surely extort us for all we’re worth..."

Yan Xixi also stared at the astronomical medical bill.

"Even if we don’t go to Huang Xiaojue, we should at least try to contact his father. He seems like a reasonable man..."

Yan Xixi clenched her teeth. Right now, she was completely unwilling to have any further entanglement with the Huang family, much less go begging Huang Xiaojue’s father over this matter.

She suddenly remembered the cash she had stashed in her safe. She steeled her resolve; come what may, she would use that money rather than ask Huang Xiaojue’s father for help.
