Chapter 69: Chapter 69 I Do Not Accept Your Apology Chapter 69: Chapter 69 I Do Not Accept Your Apology After glancing at Song Wenbin, she continued, “The family arrived late without even saying ‘thank you’ and then had the audacity to claim with a sour face that someone was trying to climb the social ladder and had ulterior motives. Everyone in our ward couldn’t bear to hear such disrespectful talk. It’s just too demeaning.”

“The doctor instructed us to pay extra attention at night. After the last IV bag was finished, it was already late, yet we had to keep checking if Big Brother had a fever. The sister barely got any rest in the first half of the night.”

“When Big Brother woke up in the middle of the night, after the doctor checked him, the sister even fed him a meal before she could rest. She didn’t even have a place to sleep; she just sat on a chair and dozed off beside the bed for the whole night.”

“In the morning, she made a phone call to notify the family and brought back breakfast to feed him. Yet when the relatives arrived, they accused her of having an ulterior motive. Your relative only mentioned his name; what could anyone possibly want from him?”

Standing to the side, the aunt listened to her son’s words and said, “My son is absolutely right. I heard these relatives are teachers at the city’s Number One Middle School.” She shook her head and snorted, her expression laden with meaning.

This caused an uproar, and Song Wenbin’s face turned from green to red in embarrassment. After hearing what people said, he realized that he had probably made a mistake. So he said, “Comrade, I’m sorry.”

But Luo Qiao remained calm and said, “Let’s settle my out-of-pocket medical expenses first.”

Then the secretary behind the Mayor took out two hundred yuan and handed it over. Luo Qiao extracted ten Big Unity bills, counted them in front of everyone, and said, “Exactly one hundred, so I’ll take it.”

She then collected the bamboo tube and spoon, saying, “Since the relative is concerned about leaving these as a pretext, I will take them back too. Don’t worry, I’m still young and don’t have such heavy tastes.

In the future, when I get to college, there’ll be so many talented individuals to choose from. Rest assured, I also want to reiterate that the reason I helped stop the bleeding and took care of him is because I admired his selflessness in saving others.

Not all girls are as you describe them in your words. And I do not accept your apology. If an apology were enough, what would be the need for laws? Your behavior and your profession do not match.”

After Luo Qiao finished speaking, everyone was taken aback. Indeed, not all issues can be resolved with an apology.

Luo Qiao then asked the officers, “May I leave now?”

The female officer replied, “Yes, you can go. Thank you so much, and sorry you had to endure such grievance.”

Luo Qiao smiled and said, “It’s fine. I won’t punish myself for others’ mistakes. Think of it as just a gust of wind, blowing away.”

The female officer said, “I’ll walk you to the door.”

Taking her backpack, Luo Qiao said, “Since everything here is settled, I’ll be taking my leave now.”

After finishing speaking, she nodded to everyone.

When she reached the aunt, she took a handful of dates from her backpack and said, “Auntie, thank you for speaking up for justice. I’m leaving now; I wish your son a speedy recovery.”

The aunt replied, “We just spoke what was fair; it’s nothing.”

Qiao Yu had not expected things to turn out this way and was extremely anxious in bed. What a mess. If he had known this would happen, he would have never asked his cousin to come.

He opened his mouth to call her back, but no words came out.

The Mayor’s family exchanged a few words, left some things for him, told him to take care and mentioned they would come to visit again when they had time.
