Chapter 49 Silly Girl
Chapter 49 Silly Girl
Lin Jianlu must swear that she really didn't mean to laugh.
But she really didn't expect that Akashi Mio's voice would be so funny.
Especially after she was hit, she couldn't open her mouth wide enough, so she could only speak in a muffled way. Coupled with that strange colonel's tone, it immediately made her laugh. She felt that even if the King of Heaven himself came today, she wouldn't be able to hold back her laughter.
So because of that laugh, the police are now giving her a stern reprimand.
"I understand you're angry to see your boyfriend bleeding from the head, but you can't just hit him without knowing what happened! Look at the state you've created for him. Luckily you're a girl and not too strong; if it were a man, he'd probably be classified as having minor injuries. We wouldn't be sitting in this mediation room then; we'd be in the law enforcement area next door, wearing a red jacket and a silver bracelet. I wonder if you'd still be able to smile then!"
"Waaah..."
"That's terrifying!" Lin Jianlu shrank back, on the verge of tears. You see, she'd always been a law-abiding citizen; the last time she came to the police station... well...
It should be when the baby is newly born and needs to be registered.
"I'd like to correct something," Chen Chen said, raising his hand.
The police officer sighed.
"This isn't a school, you don't need to raise your hand, just speak."
"I'm not her boyfriend; we've just been childhood friends."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jianlu's embarrassed expression stiffened slightly.
The police officer nodded:
"Okay, I understand. But whatever your relationship is, it's clear that Ms. Hayashi Mikako cares about you a lot, otherwise she wouldn't have retaliated against Ms. Akashi Mio like that. I hope your friendship lasts a long time."
"Now, let's coordinate the responsibilities of both parties."
"The current situation is that Akashi Mio, while illegally carrying a controlled knife, accidentally injured Chen Chen, causing a head injury that, according to medical personnel, is a minor injury. Lin Jianlu, seeing Chen Chen injured, retaliated by assaulting Akashi Mio, causing minor facial injuries to him. Both parties are at fault, so I suggest you both compromise, mutually cover each other's medical expenses, apologize, and reach a settlement. Do you agree?"
The police officer's WeChat was immediately flooded with a series of notification messages.
"No! Absolutely not!"
"The order! Mine!"
"Lost work! Losses!"
"Compensation! It's a must!"
Seeing this, the police officer looked up and said, "The other party is unwilling to back down, believing that you have affected her work and demanding that you compensate her for her lost wages."
Screw the missed work!
Upon hearing this, Lin Jianlu's shame vanished instantly, replaced by a burning rage.
Doesn't this interfere with her work? Since she just made her presence known, Cheng Xiuxiu isn't making any demands. She could clearly take on jobs and earn extra money on weekends!
But now that my hands are like this, swollen like a big steamed bun, how am I supposed to take orders?!
But in front of Chen Chen, she certainly couldn't reveal her identity as an otome game cosplayer; he'd laugh at her. However, her anger remained unabated, and she desperately needed to vent. In a fit of rage, she stood up, moved closer to Chen Chen, and angrily poked the gauze on his head:
"She'll miss work! Her missed work means my son... oh no, Chen Chen's head is important! It's his head! The doctor said he could have a concussion! We haven't even made her pay for the follow-up observation costs yet!"
If she were a real mother, she would probably be crying her eyes out right now, and might even yell things like, "He's a senior in high school next year, which is the time when he needs to use his brain. If he gets a concussion and can't study, all our family's hopes will be ruined. How dare you ask us to compensate you for lost wages? I want you to compensate me for my son's future!" and other such unreasonable and absurd things.
But Lin Jianlu was indeed too shy. Seeing the police officer staring at her, she didn't even dare to raise her voice. She just shook her head vigorously to show that she would never accept the other party's conditions.
"So that means the mediation failed?"
The police officer asked.
Chen Chen's head went blank.
I can't afford to fail! If I fail, I'll have to go to the detention center according to the regulations!
But Lin Jianlu and Akashi Mio seemed unaware of the situation. In fact, when the person on the other end of the phone heard Lin Jianlu arguing and making a scene, they were so angry that they were no longer afraid and suddenly started firing off a barrage of Japanese.
「ちくしょう!こんなの得いかないよ!わざとじゃないのに!あいつがしつこく chaseいかけてきたのがいんでしょ! Private は悪くない…violation, private が悪かったのは剣をholdち出したことだけで…”
Basically, it was all the same old stuff, like "it's not my fault, it's all your fault." Because the speech was so fast, Lin Jianlu couldn't hear it clearly, so she simply covered her ears and yelled frantically:
"I'm not listening! It's all nonsense! I don't want to hear your rubbish. I'm not paying for any of your lost wages or medical expenses!"
"Everything other than それあんたたちのせいだよ! この色を见てよ,めちゃくちゃにされて…生扉なかったらどうするのよ!”
"What?! You said you're going to be disfigured?! You'll be disfigured my ass! Look at your awful makeup, it's hideous! Those punches I threw were like plastic surgery for you, understand?!"
Damn it, you two idiots! Can't you at least understand the rules of the mediation room before venting your emotions?!
"Enough! Enough!"
Chen Chen shouted, instantly interrupting the two stupid girls' phone argument.
"You two! Listen to me! Settle things as the policeman said! Otherwise, you'll both end up in jail! Make a scene there, I won't care about you anymore!"
……
A perfectly good weekend was ruined by a sudden accident.
After the compensation was settled, it was almost 11 o'clock when I left the police station.
The weather was fine and sunny, with willow branches swaying in the wind. People came and went in front of the police station. Adults wearing casual hats walked slowly with their children, while girls carrying parasols walked in twos and threes.
Spring has arrived, everything is coming back to life, the trees are green and the flowers are blooming everywhere. It just so happens that this place is close to the sports park, so of course many people come out for a stroll on weekends.
It's perfect, not too hot or too cold, the kind of weather ideal for sunbathing.
Chen Chen's initially irritable mood was greatly calmed by the vibrant scene.
But when he turned around, he saw Lin Jianlu squatting by the wall in front of the police station with her head down and looking dejected, like a little match girl.
Sigh, it's just a trip to the police station, right? Where did your usual arrogant attitude go?
"What's wrong?"
He approached Lin Jianlu and reached out to ruffle her slightly messy golden hair.
The girl looked up, her large, tear-filled eyes glistening with moisture.
"sorry……"
"What are you sorry for?"
"Don't you think I'm holding everyone back?"
"What do you mean by dragging things down?"
With a gurgling sound—
The girl clutched her stomach, her cute face instantly turning bright red.
"Turns out it was my stomach that was holding me back."
"I'll punch you! Ouch—that hurts, waaaaah..."
