Guan Peng rubbed Xia Lin's head, indicating that he didn't want to talk anymore.
"Then you must not leave me..."
Seeing that Xia Lin did not overreact, Guan Peng breathed a sigh of relief; hearing her small request, he naturally leaned over to satisfy her...

Downstairs of the dormitory
Mile came over happily to share the good news with Lu Tao, but the result was different from what she expected.
"What? You asked someone to talk to him. Didn't I tell you to stay out of this?"
Lu Tao actually has a fragile heart. The words "giving away money" on the day of the accident hurt him deeply, and he even resented Mile.
"I don't care if you can settle it. Do you still want your diploma? That person has a medical report from the hospital. If things go wrong, you will end up in jail..."
Mile was not angry, she was just a little surprised by Lu Tao's reaction.
"How can I deal with it? My roommate Xiangnan's father works in the police station. He has put the matter in touch with the police on my behalf."
This was true. Xiangnan did say hello to his father, but his father just asked for help and didn't believe it.
"Can Xiangnan's father handle it? I heard that the man you beat up has a father who is the director of the Merchants' Bureau, and we are not in the right in this matter anyway."
Compared to the arrogant Xiangnan, Mile trusts the calm and composed Guan Peng more. Although that guy is harsh in words, he gives people a sense of security.
"Maybe the person you find can settle the matter, but the one I find can't." Lu Tao's machismo was carried to the extreme, but the louder he boasted, the faster he would be slapped in the face; just as he said this, Xiangnan ran out of the dormitory building.
"Lu Tao, my dad just called me. Your case is a bit difficult to handle. The other party is indeed an important person, and he has already shown the police the injury certificate provided by the hospital. If things go wrong, you might be in trouble."
Xiangnan was being euphemistic when he said "it's very troublesome". What Xiangnan's father meant was that he should get the other party's forgiveness as soon as possible, otherwise if the case went to court, Lu Tao would really go to jail.
"Did you make a mistake?"
After blaming his girlfriend, Lu Tao started blaming his roommate.
"That should be right. My dad said it very seriously on the phone, asking you to be a good man and not suffer a loss in front of you. If you really take it seriously, you might go to jail, right?"
Xiangnan knew that the matter was worth telling openly so that Lu Tao could understand the seriousness of the matter.
"Your side?"
This time Lu Tao was scared and looked at Mile for help.
"The police will call us tomorrow morning to ask us to go to mediation, and then we will just follow the normal procedures."
Now you know you have to rely on me, Mile didn't say this out loud, but his face really showed this.
"It's that simple?"
Lu Tao also read the meaning from the expression on Mile's face and asked a little unconvinced.
"You have no other choice now. Wait for a call tomorrow morning."
After saying this, Mile turned and left. It’s not that she really has no temper.
.........
Wang Jin is quite reliable. Before nine o'clock the next day, Lu Tao received a call asking him to go to the police station for mediation.
He was just talking tough, but he was actually a coward. After hanging up the phone, he informed Mile and asked her to accompany him.
Chaoyang Public Security Bureau
When Mile and Lu Tao arrived, Wang Jin had been talking for a long time in the mediation room with a man who had a bandage on his head and looked like an Indian.
"Lu Weiping, I know you are right in this matter, but if you really make a big fuss, it will be bad for everyone. Look, this is the car you drove that day. I know it belongs to your uncle, but others don't believe it. They will say that the son of Director Lu of China Merchants Group, who drives a Porsche sports car, got into a fight with someone in a bar and sent him to jail. This will not be good for your father."
Wang Jin was patient and persuasive, and seemed to be considerate of others.
"Director Wang, I've been hurt for nothing."
As soon as he entered the room today, Lu Weiping realized that Director Wang, who suddenly appeared, was going to take sides. Who would believe that a branch director would pull him in and say he would help mediate the conflict?
"I will fight for your medical expenses and lost wages. I won't let you suffer any loss. Also, your injury certificate was issued by the Second Hospital, right? The deputy director of the Second Hospital is your uncle-in-law. You should avoid such matters in the future."
Wang Jin hits the nail on the head with every sentence.
"Director Wang, you?" Lu Weiping still wanted to fight for it.
"How about I call your dad and get his opinion?"
In China, most smart people choose to become officials, and there is nothing wrong with what he said; Wang Jin silenced Lu Weiping with just a few words.
"Director Wang, can you let me die knowingly?"
After a while, Lu Weiping, who had calmed down, spoke.
"The other party's girlfriend asked Guan Peng to ask me for help, so just consider it as giving Guan Peng some face."
Since Lu Weiping asked, Wang Jin just told him the answer directly. After all, he didn't want to be the bad guy.
When he heard it was Guan Peng, Lu Weiping knew that he was indeed someone he could not afford to offend, and he signed the letter of apology very happily.
"Director Wang, someone is coming."
At this time, Mile and Lu Tao also arrived, accompanied by a police officer.
"You've come at a good time. Lu Weiping has agreed to a settlement. Here's the letter of understanding. Please take a look. If there's no problem, please sign it."
The two of them shared a room, and Wang Jin handed them the letter of understanding.
"What? You want me to pay him 20,000 yuan for medical expenses, lost wages, and mental damages."
It was fine at first, but when he saw the amount of compensation he had to pay, Lu Tao refused to do it again.
"This is the solution our police department is researching. Do you have any different opinions?"
Wang Jin lit a cigarette for himself, took a puff and asked Lu Tao.
"No problem, no problem, Director Wang, just follow the police's instructions. We trust the police."
Mile had already realized that this person should be the reinforcements Guan Peng invited, and he was a little unhappy.
Wang Jin was unhappy. I talked to people for a long time about your matter, but you didn't appreciate it. It's a bit out of touch with the times.
"If you have no objection, just sign it. Behave yourself when you leave and don't cause trouble again." After saying this, Wang Jin left the mediation room.
Chapter 25 Dinner
"Lu Tao, what's wrong with you? Wait for me."
At the entrance of the police station, Mile chased after Lu Tao who ran out angrily.
"I'm crazy, what did that bastard mean?"
After running for a while, Lu Tao finally stopped and turned to question Mile who was coming towards him.
"What do you mean? What sentence?"
Mile was really confused.
"He said I was lucky this time and told me to be thankful for having a girlfriend like you are capable of."
Things ended like this, and Lu Weiping was naturally very angry. Before leaving, he left this sentence to provoke Lu Tao. He said the word "capable" in a meaningful way, and Lu Tao grasped it accurately.
"He is just trying to make you angry. Don't bother with him," Milei comforted her. She didn't think much about it, thinking that he said this because she helped pay the compensation.
"Who did you ask for help? They actually asked us to pay so much money. It's too unreliable."
Lu Tao wasn't just complaining when he said this. Although he was suspicious, he wasn't stupid. He just wanted to find out indirectly who Mile had invited.
"I'm looking for my best friend's boyfriend. The money isn't that much, as long as it can help you solve the problem."
Mile walked up to Lu Tao and gave him a hug, leaning against his chest and speaking.
"They have helped us so much, why don't you treat them to a meal?"
It’s not that Lu Tao didn’t believe Mile, it’s just that the words just now left a thorn in his heart, and he wanted to pull it out.
"Let me ask if they have time."
Through Xia Lin, Mile knew that Guan Peng was very busy and might not have time, so she spoke vaguely; but in Lu Tao's eyes, it seemed that Mile was feeling guilty. Could it be that she was really being cheated on?
"Why don't you call now and see if they have time?"
Lu Tao urged.
"Okay, then I'll ask them."
Although she didn't know why Lu Tao had changed so much, complaining about people being unreliable one moment and then saying he wanted to treat people to a meal the next, Mile still made the call.
"Sure, treat us to dinner, but I have to choose the place this time?" When Mile called, Guan Peng was right next to Xia Lin.
Guan Peng said this quite loudly, so Mile on the other end of the phone naturally heard it.
"Okay, okay, it's up to you."
Mile doesn't think a meal costs much and is very generous.
"Don't go too far later, I don't have many good friends."
Xia Lin often dines with Guan Peng and knows that spending tens of thousands of dollars on a meal is nothing for him. She is afraid that he will continue to do the same and embarrass Mile.
"Don't worry, I won't really let them treat me. At most I'll scare her a little, and I'll definitely pay the bill before I leave."
Wang Jingang called and complained a lot, saying that the person in question only took care of the matter out of respect for him, but the person involved didn't know how to appreciate it, which made him very angry.
For Wang Jin's sake, he also wanted to teach that ungrateful person a lesson.
…………
Evening
In the courtyard next to the wall of the Forbidden City, this is where Guan Peng took Xia Lin to eat Tan’s cuisine last time, and this is where they decided to stay this time.
"Is there a restaurant here? We must be in the wrong place."
Mile walked in front, and Lu Tao followed behind and complained.
There are naturally restaurants here, and Milei has eaten here with her father; but when recalling the scene of paying the bill, Milei began to worry about her bank card.
"Millai, you guys are here."
After receiving the text message that Mile had arrived, Charlene was waiting at the door of the box.
"Xia Lin, let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend Lu Tao; Lu Tao..."
After introducing Charlene, Mile found that her boyfriend was dumbfounded.
"I'm Lu Tao, nice to meet you"
After Mile shouted twice, Lu Tao finally reacted and took the initiative to stretch out his right hand;
Even Charlene in the original drama could make him faint, let alone now.
"Let's go in. Guan Peng has been waiting for a while."
Xia Lin naturally noticed Lu Tao's loss of composure, but for Mile's sake, she didn't care and just brushed it off.
"I'll settle the score with you when I get back."
Charlene noticed it, and so did Mile. After pinching her lustful boyfriend hard, she walked into the box.
"You guys are here. I have already ordered four dishes and am cooking them. Take a look. Is there anything missing?"
After Mile entered the room and sat down, Guan Peng handed her the menu.
6600
8600
9000
12000
Mile didn't look at what dishes Guan Peng ordered, but just looked at the prices of the dishes he ordered. Then she felt heartbroken. Thinking of the 20,000 yuan she had spent in the morning, she wanted to go back to her father and shout, "Dad, love me again."
"There are only four of us, so four dishes are just right. Lu Tao and I won't add any more."
Mile said this with gritted teeth, then happily stuffed the menu into the waiter's hand and signaled him to leave quickly.
"Four dishes are not enough. Give me the menu and I'll order two more."
