Chapter 665: Money Is Useless
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Although Jiang An said that, she already had the answer in her heart. This was because in Zou Er’s report, the parents of the dead girl were still immersed in sorrow and cried day and night over their dead child.
Although they knew that there was no way to resist Wu Xue, they still used various methods to appeal. For this, they did not retreat even if their lives were threatened.
They had lost their only child and no longer had the motivation to live.
It was impossible for them to accept compensation now.
However, Wu Xue’s parents felt that as long as they could spend money, there was nothing they could not do. They quickly took out their phones to look for the number that had been blocked long ago and dialed it while trembling.
“h.e.l.lo, we’re Wu Xue’s parents. We know that you’re still grieving the death of your child. It’s indeed my child’s fault, but she’s still so young and can’t go to prison. Otherwise, her life will be ruined. Our family is willing to fork out five million yuan as compensation. If it’s not enough, we can fork out more. I only hope that you won’t appeal anymore.”
The two of them thought that the other party would definitely accept it happily after taking out so much money.
After all, the child was already dead. Wasn’t it good to take the money and live a carefree life?
However, there was only a long silence on the other end of the phone. The other party did not say a word, and only the sound of rapid breathing could be heard.
Just as they thought that there was a problem with the signal, a voice finally came.
“You bunch of heartless b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, you actually want to use money to shut me up. It’s useless even if you take out 500 million yuan. I only want Wu Xue to pay the price for my child’s death. Even if it’s a knife to our throats, we will appeal. Even if we die and become ghosts, we will pester Wu Xue!”
These words were said at the top of their lungs. Clearly, they were said in a fit of anger.
They were not afraid of offending Wu Xue’s parents. Their only concern in this life was gone. There was no need to be afraid of offending anyone.
Initially, they thought that the other party called because they had found their conscience. They did not expect them to use money to shut them up.
Could it be that in their eyes, parents who had lost their children only cared about money? As long as they had money, they could even forget about their children’s lives?
Those words had a different meaning in their ears. They were not apologizing at all, but mocking.
That was why the father who had lost his child was so angry. He wished he could say all the words he had cursed in his life.
Wu Xue’s parents did not expect such an answer. Wu Xue’s mother s.n.a.t.c.hed the phone and said, “Is 5 million not enough? Then I’m willing to give 10 million.”
A sharp female voice came from the phone. “Do you have a heart or not? If someone kills your child and is willing to pay you ten million yuan, will you accept it happily?”
“Your child forced my daughter to death. She’s the murderer. I must make her pay the price!”
After saying that, the voice on the phone disappeared, replaced by a chaotic noise. It was obvious that the mother had fainted, and many people were helping.
Jiang An looked at Wu Xue’s parents as if she was watching a joke. “Do you still think you can settle it with money?”
Of course, she knew that it was useless to pay. Wu Xue’s mother hugged her child tightly, as if someone was going to s.n.a.t.c.h her child away from her in the next second.
“I would never let you hurt Xiao Xue. Even if the police come, it would be useless.”
Wu Xue cried and hugged her mother. She was already in despair.
Sophie sneered. “The two of you can still cry here. That child will never be able to open her eyes and call her mother again, but you think this can be resolved with ten million yuan. We’re both mothers, can’t you understand her?”
This time, Wu Xue’s mother really understood. The pain of losing a child could not be filled no matter how much money was spent.
Moreover, their child had been forced to die. She originally had a bright future.
Wu Xue’s mother cried and said, “It’s my fault for not teaching my child well. I’ve let them down, but I can’t watch Xiao Xue go to court. These sins are all mine. I’m willing to take all the blame.”
Hearing this, Wu Xue immediately stopped crying. Then, she looked at her mother expectantly, as if she felt that this was a good idea.
Jiang An noticed Wu Xue’s expression and asked, “Wu Xue, are you willing to do this?”
Wu Xue hesitated for a moment before saying, “Mom is willing to take the blame for me. I’m very grateful to Mom.”
In other words, she felt that this method was feasible and even smiled.
Wu Xue’s mother looked at her daughter in disbelief. Although she had already made such a decision, hearing her daughter say such a thing was like a knife stabbing her heart.
Did she really want her mother to go to prison? She didn’t look sad at all..
