My Youth Began With Him - Chapter 60

Chapter 60

Hearing this, Mr . Luo immediately pushed forward the documents with a smile . "Miss Huo, if you are satisfied, please sign these documents for a private settlement . I will then ask my client to transfer the money to your account . "

"But can 700,000 yuan buy my brother's health? His brain was almost injured beyond healing, which would've left him permanently disabled," Huo Mian questioned coldly, her eyes glaring .

Sensing a change in her tone, Mr . Luo was taken aback . He corrected his glasses and said, "We're very sorry about the incident . My client was drunk at the time, and it wasn't his intention to cause harm . He is very apologetic towards the whole situation . "

"I don't think that's the case . Not only did he flee the scene, but he also has yet to show his face since the incident . If the consequences weren't so severe, he probably wouldn't have even taken responsibility . "

"That's not true . My client was just too frightened after the incident occurred . He's just a university student . The girl who died in the car accident was his girlfriend, and he is very distressed about her death . That is why his parents entrusted me, as his attorney, to help him handle the situation . Miss Huo, since we're both straightforward people, I'll be honest with you . The other two victims each received compensation of 500,000 yuan . One of them even has a broken leg . I heard that your brother's surgery was very successful and he is out of the woods . I can offer an additional 100,000 yuan, making the total 800,000 yuan . You will receive a lot more than the other two . Is that good enough?"

"800,000… haha . If I give you 800,000 yuan, does that mean I can hit you with a car and injure you as your client did to my brother?"

Mr . Luo's expression darkened, "Miss Huo, we are very sincere with our offer . The accident already happened, and it is something we must face . We only paid 850,000 to the family of the girl who died . Compared to them, paying 800,000 to you is already a lot . Plus, we will transfer the money instantly, without a single day of waiting . Don't you need the money?"

"As opposed to receiving money, I'm more concerned about seeking justice for my little brother . "

"So what you're saying is . . . "

"I won't accept a private settlement . I will bring him to court . According to present-day traffic laws, your client caused a fatal car crash . Not only was he driving under the influence, but he also fled the scene of the crime . I trust that the judge will rule in favor of justice . "

Mr . Luo couldn't help but laugh at her words .

"What's so funny?" His attitude annoyed Huo Mian .

"Miss Huo, I'm laughing at your innocence . I can't believe girls like you still exist . "

"What do you mean?"

"Miss Huo, you're probably unfamiliar with my client's background . Sure, my client, Lu Yigang, is only a 21-year-old university student, but do you know who his parents are?"

Huo Mian remained silent, waiting for him to continue . . .

"I don't mind telling you . His parents are both government officials in the Ministry of Finance . On top of that, his relatives are also government officials . Basically, he has the world in his palms . With such a powerful background, do you really think that you will win against him in court? I advise that you take the money and move on . Even the family who lost their daughter weren't so sanctimonious . Don't try to be Lady Justice . Let me tell you: there is no true justice in this world . With money and power, you're God . Without it, you're nothing . I know these words hurt, but it's the truth . "

"He has a powerful background? Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~ 1 , I'm so scared . " Huo Mian smiled .

"It's true that he has a powerful background," she continued immediately . "I can tell by the sluggish way the police are handling the situation . But so what? Regardless of his background, shouldn't he follow the law just like everyone else? I'm not his mom . Why should I forgive him? Taking him to court is a process I must undergo . They can use all their connections but . . .  don't forget, there is a thing called the media . Once the news goes viral and he receives pressure from the public, I wonder how his powerful parents will protect him then?"

Upon hearing her words, Mr . Luo began to sweat . . .
