Chapter 91: Unwilling Compromise for the Greater Good

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Well, sister… This matter is our fault, you can tell us what kind of compensation you want and we will pay it. There’s no need to bring it up to the police. Today, Tianci was just in a hurry to see his mother because she’s been hospitalized, so he drove a bit faster.”

The fair-skinned youth’s partner quickly stepped up to explain and give an appeal, but the youth himself turned his head to the side, looking as though he was stubbornly unwilling to surrender to the “evil forces”. Yet he had no choice but to compromise for the greater good.

“That’s right, sister! We know we’re wrong, so can the two of you be magnanimous. Just tell us how much money you need and we’ll pay!”

“Yes, we shouldn’t make a huge fuss and disturb the policemen uncles for no reason. We can settle this ourselves, right, sisters?”

The three companions beside the youth had simply watched the fight earlier on but suddenly they were calling them sisters and being polite and cultured.

“Call 4S and ask how much it’ll cost to change the car door and spray the entire side of the car,” Lin Nuan said calmly.

After the call, the 4S shop said that Bai Xiaonian’s car’s door required around 8,000 dollars while the paint required about 3,000 dollars.

Bai Xiaonian had taken out a mortgage to buy the car and she hadn’t even finished repaying the loan so she especially treasured it; her heart ached at how badly it looked after the hit.

Hanging up, Bai Xiaonian was afraid that it would be insufficient to cover the repair if she asked for the minimum price, so she purposely raised the number and said, “The total will be 15,000 dollars.”

“Are you robbing a bank?!” The youth started shouting again.

The accident had been unexpected for Bai Xiaonian who was innocent, so she would definitely be unhappy to pay for anything. She initially thought to keep the teen’s number so she could return the excess to him. After all, she would seem petty if she asked for more if the amount could not cover the repair fees.

But the moment the youth spoke, he directly triggered the anger in Bai Xiaonian.

Bai Xiaonian raised her voice, yelling, “I’ve only asked for the repair fees, I haven’t asked for the compensation for the mental damage! I just opened the door and you drove your car over directly, if I didn’t take my leg back fast enough, it would’ve flown out just like my car door! Do you think the number I’m asking for is high? Then let’s calculate the compensation for the mental damage I’ve received! It’s also 15,000 dollars, so in total it should be 30,000 dollars, not a cent to be missed!”

“Let’s just call the police since this fee is too expensive. I can see that these guys are still just children, I’m afraid they won’t be able to take out so much money, so we should still inform their parents.” Lin Nuan spoke clearly without any hurry or worry in her tone

Once she said that the youth’s companions clearly panicked.

“Tianci… It’s not like you don’t have the money! Just give it to them!”

“Forget it, forget it!” his other partners pulled the youth closer and said in a lower voice, “Just take it as you’re spending money on preventing a disaster! It’s more important to find Auntie for her signature!”

“That’s right, your dad already disagreed to you taking part in the competition. If this issue really makes it to the police station, even if Auntie signed it, your Dad will still have an excuse to not let you participate in it! Bear with it!”

The trio took turns convincing the youth and finally succeeded.

Lin Nuan and Bai Xiaonian waited by the car while the youth went to withdraw cash from the ATM accompanied by his friends, and his friends passed the money to Bai Xiaonian.

Seeing that the youth was avoiding using the bank to transfer the money over, Bai Xiaonian could tell that he was avoiding exchanging information. To avoid future problems, she also chose not to ask him for his number.

After the teen and his friends left, Bai Xiaonian called the 4S shop.

When the trailer arrived, it was nearly noon and a light rain was starting to fall. Lin Nuan and Bai Xiaonian shared an umbrella as they watched the doorless A4 being dragged away.

There was still time before the program started, so Bai Xiaonian said, “There’s still time, let’s go to Yuanqi to eat some ramen?”
