Chapter 519: 519: Lu Xinglan powerfully protects his wife (Second update
“Chen Xiangtai!”
Chen Debao was so angry that his face flushed red.
Chen Xiangtai stepped back and stood further away, “I don’t have money, it’s with Tan Xiuqing.”
Her voice was soft and delicate.
Chen Debao felt like he was punching cotton; he couldn’t exert any force. He made a phone call to his mom, Ms. Tan.
“Debao, have you eaten yet?”
Chen Debao replied impatiently, “I had a car accident and I’m at the police station.”
Ms. Tan, who doted on her son, beca extrely anxious when she heard about the accident. “How could you have an accident? Are you severely injured? Is it serious?”
“I was driving a classmate’s car and rear-ended soone.”
“You weren’t hurt, were you?”
“I’m fine, but the car’s damaged. They want to pay for it.” Chen Debao sneered and turned on the speakerphone, “Chen Xiangtai is also here, she’s refusing to pay and even asked the police to detain .”
Ms. Tan didn’t ask any questions and imdiately cursed, “That little bitch!”
Lu Xinglan frowned and looked toward Chen Xiangtai.
She lowered her head.
Ms. Tan cursed a few more words before asking Chen Debao, “How much do you have to pay?”
“Several tens of thousands.”
Ms. Tan exclaid, “Tens of thousands?” Her voice raised an octave, “You could buy a car with that much! Why don’t the police manage this extortion?”
Captain Cheng gave Captain Yang a look.
Captain Yang shrugged, “Young Master Lu’s car is worth several million, bla then.
Tens of thousands?
Tens of thousands aren’t even enough to repaint a scratch.
So people still don’t know how to hold back, their tone as aggressive as an outraged youth: “So people are rich and powerful.” He scoffed cynically, “Chen Xiangtai knows those people, warms up to them, their relationship seems quite good.”
“They know each other?” Ms. Tan imdiately started scheming, “Then don’t compensate yet, let Chen Xiangtai owe it first, and slowly pay it off when she gets her salary. Since they’re acquaintances, even if she can’t pay, surely they won’t—”
“I’m not close with them.”
The young girl’s eyes were red, looking ready to bite, “If I don’t pay, it’ll lead to criminal detention, it’s up to you whether to pay or not!”
She was usually soft-spoken and had never spoken so harshly before.
Ms. Tan didn’t like her; she always stayed far away, silent and uncomplaining. She had heard many harsher words at Ms. Tan’s; she should have been immune, but for so reason, she suddenly couldn’t stand those words anymore, nor did she want Lu Xinglan to hear them.
She tiptoed to snatch the phone.
Chen Debao wasn’t paying attention, and his hand slipped.
Bang!
The phone, worth over six thousand, had its screen shattered.
“Chen Xiangtai!”
Chen Debao reached out to grab her clothes.
Lu Xinglan pulled her back, shielding her with his body. Just as Chen Debao moved forward, Lu Xinglan lifted his eyelids, “You misspoke earlier. It’s not tens of thousands; it’s hundreds of thousands.”
Chen Debao’s expression went blank.
The young girl, sheltered by Lu Xinglan, poked her head out, “This phone was bought with my money. I’ll smash it if I want!” Her eyes showed timidity, yet she tried to look fierce, “Hmph!”
After acting tough, she tucked her hair behind her ear, “Mr. Lu, I’m leaving first.”
She walked past Chen Debao quickly.
“Uncle Tan.”
“You tell .”
Lu Xinglan picked up his coat, “If they don’t pay, sue.”
Old Tan understood; he was defending his own, “Got it.”
Lu Xinglan followed her out.
Within a short ti, the young girl had crossed to the other side of the road.
Lu Xinglan put on his overcoat over his suit and called out, “Chen Xiangtai.”
The girl across the street turned around, with neon lights reflecting in her eyes, colorful and bright, “Why did you co out too?”
He walked over, “Aren’t we familiar?” He leaned down, looking at her, “Then why did you add on WeChat?”
