"No, no, no." The truck driver waved his hands repeatedly, trying to slip Ruan Tang three thousand yuan to settle the matter privately.
Ruan Tang refused to accept the money.
She continued to apologize, and after sending the driver on his way, she actually gave him two thousand yuan for his lost wages.
"What are you doing, daughter?" Zhu Fen demanded, displeased. "Why are you giving him money? You could have extorted a fortune from him!"
Hearing her mother's shameless words, Ruan Tang rubbed her forehead in exasperation.
She really wanted to turn around, leave, and never see these two people again!
Ruan Tang said angrily, "That's malicious extortion. The driver was just kind-hearted. If he had called the police, you two could have been detained for a few days."
"He wouldn't dare!" Zhu Fen declared indignantly. "We'd be in the right even if he took us to court!"
Ruan Tang: "..."
She took a deep breath and said wearily, "Xu Lai, I'm going outside to buy a bottle of water."
