Hong Kong is in full swing

"You destroyed this artwork and you don't want to compensate? You came here and you want to leave? Do you think this is your backyard?"

Qiao Susu, whose face turned blue with anger, angrily retorted, "Isn't it just a broken painting? How can I not afford to pay for it?"

Her voice was filled with resentment and anger.

"Then please help yourself."

Yu Wan coldly took out the POS machine, quickly set the amount, and handed it to the other party, saying word by word, "Please complete the payment now."

Qiao Susu stared at the machine in Yu Wan's hand, almost gritting her teeth. She barely suppressed the resentment in her heart, took out her mobile phone from her bag and completed the payment operation.

The eight hundred thousand yuan was like a gust of wind, and was withdrawn from her account in the blink of an eye. This made her feel as if she had been slapped hard in the face in public. The feeling of humiliation made her tremble all over.

After cursing inwardly, she was about to turn around and walk out when she was stopped by the woman opposite whom she hated so much.

"Wait a moment."

Yu Wan stopped Qiao Wanxuan who was about to leave the scene.

Hearing this, Qiao Wanxuan abruptly stopped in her tracks, quickly turned around, and demanded angrily, "What on earth do you want to do? I've already paid you the compensation, as you asked. Isn't that enough?"

Seeing the other person's expression, Yu Wan raised the corners of her mouth to reveal a slightly mocking smile, and slowly said: "That was just a matter about public funds. Next, we should talk about the part about personal grudges."

After saying that, she nodded slightly to Wei Size who was not far away.

Wei Size immediately understood. He pretended to cover his arm, with an exaggerated expression of pain on his face, and shouted loudly, "Ouch!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yu Wan lowered her voice and said to Qiao Wanrong, "Since you've injured someone, you should at least give a formal apology or appropriate financial compensation, right?"

After hearing this, Qiao Wanlang instantly felt a chill rushing from the soles of her feet to her forehead, and her cheeks turned pale. She knew that there was no way she could leave here easily today.

In the end, under the gazes of the people around her, she had no choice but to pull the woman beside her and flee from this place in a hurry.

After standing at the door and watching the receding figure for a long time, Yu Wan slowly withdrew her gaze. She took out her phone and dialed Qiao Yuan's number. Qiao Yuan quickly answered the call, and his tone was filled with a hint of gloating, "My dear sister, did you receive the gift that your brother prepared for you?"

Hearing this, Yu Wan, who had been leaning against the wall, tightly gripping the screen of her Huawei P30 Pro, chuckled softly, her lips slightly raised as she replied, "Big Brother, this 'surprise' you sent me is truly thoughtful!"

A chuckle came from the other end of the phone, and Qiao Yuan pretended to be innocent and said, "Oh, so you called to thank me specially? Haha, that really makes me happy~"

Faced with such a blatantly provocative response, Yu Wan said coldly, "Brother, stop feigning ignorance. I'm just calling to inform you of one thing: my reward for this matter is on the way, and I hope you'll be happy to accept it when the time comes."

Just as the other party was about to say something, Yu Wan decisively cut off the last bit of connection between the two of them. She then called another important person, Liu Fengmei, and gave a concise and powerful instruction, "Hey, please help me closely monitor someone's movements. I'll send you a message later to let you know the specific name."

"Well, I see."

Liu Fengmei replied.

Shortly after the call ended, Wei Size, who had previously cooperated in the acting and successfully obtained compensation, directly proposed to give half of the funds he had obtained to Yu Wan as a reward.

Faced with Wei Size's rare generosity, Yu Wan couldn't help but give him some sincere praise, praising him for being both smart and capable.

"If you have money, let's make it together."

Wei Size blinked and said in a half-joking tone, "Next time if something like this happens, remember to notify me. I will still be the one to get beaten."

Yu Wan couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, and then joked, "Don't worry, when we face difficulties together, I will rush to the front to protect you no matter what."

Hearing this, Wei Size's expression suddenly became serious: "I'm telling the truth. You are my friend. No matter when and where, I must do my best to protect you."

The smile on Yu Wan's face gradually disappeared. She looked at the serious and determined Wei Size in front of her, and her body unconsciously straightened a little. Then she nodded solemnly, "Thank you, Size. I am very touched by your commitment to me."

At this moment, Wei Size's hands began to tremble slightly. His throat moved a few times, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't. In the end, he just responded softly but firmly: "This is what I should do. You're welcome."

After the conversation between the two ended, the room fell into a brief silence, with a subtle emotion in the air.

Then, Yu Wan smiled, breaking the silence, and suggested, "How about we go out for a nice meal together tonight? It's a way to thank you for your courage and concern."

"Ah."

Wei Size expressed his agreement briefly and directly.

"Then it's settled. Let's go have dinner together tonight."

Wei Size repeated the agreement.

From the fifth day of the first lunar month to the Lantern Festival, after get off work, Yu Wan would always spend as much time as possible with her sister Yu Xinxin, hoping to give her more care and warmth.

Despite her sister's efforts, unfortunately, Yu Xinxin's condition does not seem to have improved much. She still lives a life that seems hazy and trance-like, and occasionally she inexplicably enters a state of dullness and unresponsiveness.

The doctor noticed that whenever Yu Wan was by her side, some of Yu Xinxin's physiological indicators seemed to show a slight improvement; but these subtle changes were not enough to fundamentally change her overall condition, which gave everyone a headache.

Yu Wan felt quite frustrated because of this, but she knew in her heart that this situation was not something that Yu Xinxin could control personally.

After washing her sister's hands and feet, Yu Wan gently held her in her arms and said softly, "Dr. Li is a very kind person. He would never do anything to harm you. Please don't be afraid or worried."

Hearing her sister's comforting words, Yu Xinxin grabbed her sister's clothes tightly and nodded forward vigorously to show that she understood.

Feeling her sister's body leaning against her tightly, Yu Wan gently patted her back to calm her down while continuing to ask.
