Chapter 291: Chapter 258: Life [Guide] Teacher

"Spiritual damage compensation?" the director blinked in surprise.

"What, you don’t want it?"

The director snorted derisively, eyeing Jiang Xiao with the same look one might give a country bumpkin.

Tsk, his whole outfit probably isn’t even worth three hundred bucks, and yet he’s putting on airs like some rich young master.

I’m just saying it.

What kind of rich person would stay at this Niu Wuliang Small Hospital on the outskirts?

"How much money could you possibly have, kid?"

"Everyone else gets five thousand, ten thousand... Look at you..." Jiang Xiao himself didn’t even know how much would be appropriate to give, since he had never had such an experience.

"Ten thousand?"

Niu Wuliang’s face darkened.

"What do you mean ’everyone else gets five thousand, ten thousand’? Have you ever seen anyone who only had to pay ten thousand after someone died? Let me tell you, this isn’t about the money at all!"

"Cough, Director, could it be possible that they were talking about gold notes..." Qin Shou reminded in a whisper from behind the director.

"Gold notes? And that gives them the right to do whatever they want? Money makes them so great, huh? These were my dearest friends and brothers!"

Seeing Qin Shou and Xiao Qin looking at him with strange expressions, the director softened his tone, saying, "Uh, was I perhaps a little too loud just now?"

"Not at all, not at all. Director, your noble character and integrity, valuing friendships over money, and your indifference to worldly matters of wealth truly put us to shame!"

The director fell silent for a moment, feeling a bit annoyed with himself for overacting just now; all he wanted was to raise the stakes a bit.

"Actually, well, it’s not that I don’t care about money at all..."

Everyone: ...

If you want money just say so, why the pretense? Now the atmosphere has turned awkward.

Xiao Qin and Qin Shou knew Brother Fu well, he was rich, but with a seriously low EQ, so he definitely couldn’t understand the director’s subtle hint about wanting money.

Indeed, that was the case.

Jiang Xiao was a bit confused, this director... just now he said it wasn’t about the money, but now he says it is about the money, so does he want it or not?

"Well, this isn’t about the money," the director said, lifting his face solemnly. "But after all, I am the only relative left in this world for those two."

"So the rest of my life must not be blinded by hatred, I must live well. Of course, I’m not living for myself, but with the convictions of my spouse and nephew."

"Mhm, but how does one live well?" The director gave Qin Shou a knowing look.

With high EQ, Qin Shou immediately picked up the conversation.

"Money, of course, money. While it cannot bring the dead back to life, it can enable our director to live happily and let go of the hatred in his heart."

Qin Shou even emphasized the word "let go."

The implicit meaning was, once you’ve paid, the director won’t go to the police or anything.

"Oh," Jiang Xiao scratched his head and said, "So after all that, you still want money."

The director’s face darkened, how could you say it so bluntly?

Just as he was about to argue, oh no, just as he was about to explain, he was silenced by the gold notes Jiang Xiao pulled out.

"Even though their death has nothing to do with me, I bear a tiny bit of responsibility. Here’s fifty thousand for you, is that enough?"

In the office, you could hear a pin drop.

Fifty thousand...

Xiao Qin was instantly overjoyed...

She could work her whole life and still never save up that much!

The director began to subconsciously swallow his saliva.

How many fake drugs and expired IV bags would he have to sell to make that much?

"Brother, well, I admit I got a bit loud just now like a yapping dog, please don’t take it to heart."

To be able to bend or stretch, that’s what makes a real man!

At the same time, looking at the somewhat dim-witted Jiang Xiao, a mysterious glint flashed deep within Niu Wuliang’s pupils.

"Hahaha, problem beautifully resolved! With that said, you two should head back and rest now. Thank you for your trouble, truly!"

Jiang Xiao still wanted to ask something, but the cunning Doctor Qin Shou had already issued a clear order to leave.

Yang Tao, tense as a bowstring, felt like he’d been granted a pardon, immediately dragging Jiang Xiao out of the director’s office.

"What’s the matter? The issue is solved yet you still look so downcast? 50,000... that’s just a drop in the bucket for you, isn’t it?"

At this moment, Jiang Xiao sat on the hospital bed, while Yang Tao knelt behind him, massaging his back and asking questions.

"It’s not about the money; what’s this, just a few bills? No big deal."

A few bills?

If you put it that way, indeed it’s not much, just five, but each of these five bills is worth ten thousand! A gold note!

Yang Tao stuck out his tongue. This rich bro must be loaded...

"Money’s not the issue, but I feel like the problem hasn’t been resolved yet."

"It seems like Niu Genzhang and Zhao Rou’s deaths were indeed due to a series of accidental causes, but is the matter really that simple?"

Yang Tao pulled off an "Ants Climbing a Tree" move that almost made Jiang Xiao yelp in surprise.

"Ouch! Quit with the conspiracy theories, will you? The surveillance footage and facts are right before our eyes, and their causes of death were determined to be food poisoning. Stop overthinking it."

Jiang Xiao didn’t speak; it was a pity his brain was too slow, even though his intuition told him things shouldn’t be so simple, he just couldn’t find any logical flaws.

"Still brooding?"

"Yeah, hard to feel cheerful."

Jiang Xiao disliked this sense of the unknown; in fact, he preferred being others’ sense of "the unknown".

"No worries, I have plenty of experience dealing with sullen men. Not to brag, but those who know me on the street affectionately call me their life mentor."

Hmm?

Jiang Xiao looked at her in surprise. This woman, who seemed to carry the aura of the streets, was she also a psychological expert or a relationship guru?

Her appearance didn’t quite fit the image of a life mentor, did it?

Hmm?!

Including Jiang Xiao, everyone in the live stream had their eyes wide open.

Such a fine life mentor!

Is this the kind of "guidance" you’re talking about?!

With a sharp cry, Jiang Xiao immediately stopped Yang Tao’s bold move. Way too audacious!

"Hm?"

Seeing Jiang Xiao’s panicked expression, a smug smile appeared on Yang Tao’s face.

"Hehehe, didn’t expect you’d break into a sweat too, little bro~"

Facing the wild onslaught, Jiang Xiao clenched his teeth, vowing to resist to the end!

God dammit, so many people were watching the live stream.

He definitely didn’t have the fetish for live broadcasting this kind of thing!

And even if he did want to put on a show,

any decent performance would be in a private, password-protected room or something that charged a fee!

Why would he let himself be taken advantage of for free?

"No way! Tao, we’ve only known each other for a day, haven’t we? This is too hasty, just too hasty. If someone finds out, wouldn’t it ruin your reputation?"

Huh?

Yang Tao blinked her big eyes. Reputation she had none... but light desires she could handle confidently.

"It’s fine, they won’t find out, since I’ve always been steady in my work, not making a peep with every hit."

Everyone: ???

God, not a peep with every hit?

What kind of "hitting" is that?
