You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

Jiang Che's action was undoubtedly a public slap in the face to Lin's father.

The smile on Lin's father's face vanished instantly, and his face turned pale and then red, as if someone had stuffed a mouthful of flies into his mouth.

"Jiang, what do you mean by this?"

Lin's father bent down to pick up the check from the ground with great distress, carefully patted off the dust, and spoke to Jiang Che again with a hint of annoyance in his tone.

"Five hundred thousand is already a lot! You two students, what couldn't you do with that money? Why do you have to make trouble for our Wanwan?"

"Besides, our family just runs a small, ordinary business; we're not rich or powerful. This 500,000 is already our limit. One shouldn't be too greedy!"

greedy?

Hearing that Lin's father actually had the nerve to say those two words, Jiang Che was so angry that he laughed.

These days, the families of perpetrators are lecturing the victims for being greedy?

"Old man, I think you've misunderstood something."

Jiang Che, who was originally leaning against the wall, slowly straightened up under the gaze of Lin's parents, took a step forward expressionlessly, and looked down at the two of them.

His languid aura instantly became much sharper.

"First, I don't lack money."

"Secondly, Su Qinghe is not short of money."

"third……"

Jiang Che paused, his smile growing colder. "Thirdly, I'm not short of money. With your little bit of money, it's not even a fraction of the cost of this outfit, or even enough to get my car serviced downstairs."

"Who are you trying to humiliate with these few coins?"

"you--!"

Lin's father was speechless, his face turning a deep purplish-red, and his finger pointing at Jiang Che was trembling.

He then remembered that his daughter seemed to have introduced Jiang Che's background before.

The young man in front of me is the eldest son of the Jiang family in the capital, a true born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

They really don't need that little bit more.

But this is the greatest sincerity he can offer!

"Young man, you can't say that!"

Lin's mother, who had been silent all along, finally couldn't hold back any longer. She stepped forward, her face, covered in cheap foundation, filled with anxiety and resentment.

"Yes, you're rich and don't care about 500,000, but this money is our life savings for our funerals!"

"We've already begged you, what more do you want? Are you only happy when you've driven our whole family to our deaths?"

As if provoked to the point of losing control, Lin's mother almost screamed and roared out these two sentences, instantly breaking the original silence of the corridor.

Many passing nurses and patients' families turned their heads and looked over curiously.

In several corners of the corridor, a few bored middle-aged women appeared out of nowhere. After hearing Lin's mother's commotion, they stood not far away and started pointing and whispering at Jiang Che, as if they had rehearsed it beforehand.

"Hey, what's going on here? Did you two have a fight?"

"It seems like they've come to apologize, right? Look, the man is even holding a check."

"Young people these days are really unreasonable. Even though the elderly couple is in such a state, they're still holding a grudge."

Listening to the murmurs around her, Lin's mother's lips curled into a smug smile, and she felt much more confident.

Since the soft approach isn't working, let's try the hard approach.

Anyway, this is a hospital, with lots of people and eyes. As long as she makes a big fuss and uses the pressure of public opinion, she doesn't believe these two young people can withstand it.

So, Lin's mother simply plopped down on the bench next to her, slapped her thighs with both hands, and started wailing at the top of her lungs.

"Good heavens! Is there no justice in this world?!"

"We, the old couple, have worked hard all our lives to save up money, and we're using it to atone for our child's sins, and they still look down on us!"

"It's getting dark. Does being rich mean you can bully people? Don't you treat us ordinary folks like human beings?"

"Why is my life so miserable! I raised a daughter who doesn't know any better, and now she's being treated like this. I don't want to live anymore!"

This outburst drew even more onlookers.

Seeing this, Lin's father also sighed and groaned in agreement, occasionally wiping away non-existent tears, portraying himself as a helpless and honest man oppressed by the powerful.

"Jiang, look... everyone's watching."

Lin's father glanced at the growing crowd around him, feeling a little more confident, and handed over the check again.

"Why don't you just sign the document? Let's make this a small matter and then let it go. It'll be better for everyone."

This is blatant moral blackmail.

They used the sympathy of unsuspecting passersby to coerce Jiang Che into submission.

They used this tactic whenever they encountered a difficult opponent, and it had proven effective time and again.

Unfortunately, they ran into Jiang Che today.

From the moment the couple started wailing and acting like scoundrels, Jiang Che maintained a calm expression, as if their shouting had nothing to do with him.

He is not afraid of causing trouble, nor is he afraid of others seeing what he does.

If it weren't for the fact that these two old folks would disturb the patients' rest on this floor, Jiang Che would have been perfectly willing to spend the whole afternoon with them.

"Have you had enough of acting?"

After Lin's parents repeated their explanation several times, until they themselves were getting a little tired of it, Jiang Che finally spoke slowly and coldly.

Upon hearing this, Lin's parents, who were wailing, stopped what they were doing, looked at each other, and saw the joy in each other's eyes.

In their view, Jiang Che must be speaking now because he can't withstand the pressure and wants to compromise with them.

So Lin's mother looked up at Jiang Che with great pride, but what she saw was the face of a young man who showed no panic or shame whatsoever.

There was only a kind of calm that instilled inexplicable fear and increased stress.

"If you've had enough of this act, then take your rotten money and rotten fruit and get out of here."

Jiang Che was now exuding his full aura, his previous lazy demeanor completely vanished, startling Lin's parents so much that they involuntarily took a step back, his presence incredibly intimidating.

Seeing that the two looked somewhat fearful but still showed no sign of backing down, Jiang Che took out his phone, hovered his finger above the screen, and coldly swept his eyes over Lin's parents.

"If you dare to wail here again, first of all, I'll call security to throw you out."

"Secondly, I will have someone investigate the background of your so-called small business family, to see if the 500,000 yuan you mentioned for your funeral expenses was obtained cleanly."

Upon hearing this, Lin's father's body trembled uncontrollably, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Business people all have some shady dealings to their name.

If a behemoth like the Jiang family were to investigate, their small family business would likely be completely ruined.

"You...you dare!"

Lin's father roared, his voice revealing unease and guilt, though his tone was fierce but his heart was weak.
