Chapter 1004: Chapter 1004: Stop Pretending Chapter 1004: Chapter 1004: Stop Pretending Was she waiting for her?

Xu Chaomu slowed her pace, the wind blowing her long hair as strands mingled with undried tears and clung to her cheeks.

When she walked over, all eyes turned towards her face simultaneously.

Those gazes included the female driver’s and Bai Man’s.

Returning to the accident scene, her legs felt as though they were filled with lead, so heavy that every step required tremendous courage.

The ground still bore the remnants of a pool of blood, the blood not yet dry, looking strikingly horrific.

Just as she was about to approach, the female driver and Bai Man got out of the car.

The crowd naturally parted to create a path, the previously noisy onlookers suddenly became much quieter, many of them whispering among themselves.

Xu Chaomu approached, standing in front of the sports car, directly in front of the female driver and Bai Man.

Anger, irritation, hatred–all were vividly etched on Xu Chaomu’s face.

She made no attempt to hide her emotions, as Wealth had been her companion for so many years. What was there for her to hide!

Bai Man wore heels at least eight centimeters high, standing a bit taller than Xu Chaomu.

Bai Man didn’t speak, but the female driver did, “Miss, sorry, we accidentally hit your dog. It wasn’t intentional, and we had no intention of fleeing. We’ve been waiting here for you to come so we could discuss compensation.”

Xu Chaomu scoffed, realizing that the female driver was likely Bai Man’s assistant.

In an instant, she remembered Bai Man’s previous assistant, Xiaofeng.

That woman had shown no mercy, which seemed to suggest that Bai Man’s assistants were never up to any good.

A passerby chimed in, “Right, right, they’ve been waiting here for you the whole time, not leaving. They seem sincere.”

“Sincere?” Xu Chaomu heard their words and was contemptuous, “If they were ‘sincere’, why didn’t they take my dog to the pet hospital immediately after they hit it? Moreover, the pet hospital is not far from here!”

Xu Chaomu didn’t believe a word they were saying; they hit her dog just to provoke her!

Others might be ignorant, but Xu Chaomu knew better.

Bai Man, that woman, was not new to these kinds of deeds. Xu Chaomu was well aware of her tactics.

The female driver said, “Miss, what you’re saying is not fair. First, we didn’t know there was a pet hospital nearby. Second, we were already contacting acquaintances, trying to find a solution. We truly are sorry for hitting your dog, but we hope you can understand.”

Although the driver was apologizing, there was barely a hint of remorse in her words.

Arrogance, indifference, nonchalance–that’s what Xu Chaomu heard.

“Really sorry, Bai Man?” Xu Chaomu ignored the driver and spoke directly to Bai Man, “Why did you hit my dog out of so many others, why mine?”

Bai Man smiled faintly, as if contemplating, “Sorry, do we… know each other?”

“Do you not have a clear conscience about whether we know each other?” Xu Chaomu said coldly, “Should I suspect that you lured my dog out on purpose and then deliberately hit it because you enjoy revenge against me?”

“Miss, sorry, we don’t know you, you might have mistaken us for someone else,” said the driver, “And, isn’t what you’re suggesting a bit absurd? Luring your dog out on purpose? We have not that much idle time.”

The people around felt the driver and Bai Man had made more sense and started to think Xu Chaomu was making an unreasonable scene.

Someone tried to mediate, standing in front of Xu Chaomu, “I think these ladies really didn’t mean it; hitting a dog is just a random incident. Besides, they haven’t left and are waiting here to discuss compensation with you. Maybe you’re overthinking it.”

“If I didn’t know her and she hit my dog, I would believe it was an accident, and that staying put to wait for me is a sign of conscience. But sorry, we do know each other, and our relationship is very bad.”

Bai Man pondered, “Do we really know each other? I can’t seem to remember.”

“Stop playing dumb! Bai Man, you wanna steal Shen Chi, go back to C City, I will give you way. What are you doing in Jin City, hitting my dog–what does that mean? Haven’t you done enough mischief?! What did my dog ever do to you?!” Xu Chaomu screamed hysterically.

Her emotions were intense, and the wind blew her disheveled hair.

There was so much more she hadn’t said yet!

This was their second meeting after five years.

But the emotions suppressed in her heart for five years exploded at this moment.

She really loved her Wealth, the little dog who had been her companion for over five years, during her saddest, most despondent, and painful times.

So when she saw Wealth lying in a pool of blood, she truly exploded!

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, I’m really sorry,” Bai Man said indifferently, “I think we really don’t know each other, you must be mistaken.”

Bystanders started to comment, mostly criticizing Xu Chaomu: “Miss, nobody wants to see a dog get hurt, but you’re making quite a scene.”

“That’s right, they’ve been so cooperative, waiting here for you, you can discuss this properly.”

“Yes, they already apologized to you.”

“If you want compensation, just say so. I think they’re reasonable, and as long as you don’t get greedy, they’ll surely compensate you.”

“That’s right, you’re not trying to swindle them, are you? That dog, it looked…like just a mutt.”

The crowd commented to one another non-stop, feeling that Xu Chaomu was at fault.

“Get lost, all of you get lost! This is between me and this woman! Please do not interfere!” Xu Chaomu shouted angrily.

“Tsk tsk, such temper.”

“We better step back.”

Everyone receded, seeing Xu Chaomu’s face turning red, her teeth gritted like she was about to fight someone.

On the contrary, Bai Man stood in front of the sports car, her expression unfazed.

“Miss, we can discuss the compensation,” the driver offered, “How about this, I’ll give you five thousand yuan.”

Having said that, the driver took out a wallet from the car.

Upon opening the wallet, it contained many red banknotes.

The crowd couldn’t help but murmur among themselves: “Her dog isn’t worth five thousand yuan, she made a profit.”

“Exactly, it’s just a mutt, there are plenty of those on the streets.”

“I think even fifty would be too much.”

“Do you think she’ll be unreasonable and demand fifty thousand?”

“Crazy, fifty thousand?” The crowd burst into laughter.

The female driver, holding the money, walked towards Xu Chaomu.
