Rebirth of the Superpower Queen

Chapter 191 Compensation

"What are you doing? Are you hoping for my death?" Just as Chen Xi was running away, he bumped into someone in a daze. When he looked up, everyone was shocked.

Meng Zhiling looked at Xu Ziyi, who was just feeling smug, with a cold sneer on her face. She had no intention of greeting everyone.

Human nature is just like that. How many people would choose death when faced with such a life-and-death situation? Meng Zhiling could easily hear from Xu Ziyi's words just now that the reason why she attacked Chen Xi so aggressively was to cover up her inner uneasiness and guilt.

"Zhiling, it's really you, it's really Zhiling. I'm so glad you're okay." Chen Xi hugged Meng Zhiling tightly. Of course, all his excited tears and snot were wiped on Meng Zhiling's body.

"I'm fine, stop crying. If you keep crying I will ignore you. How is Cheng Jiahang?" Meng Zhiling pushed the crying Chen Xi away with disgust, and asked seriously.

However, as soon as she came in, she saw that the door of the operating room was closed. She should have guessed it, but she just wanted to ask, and wanted to hear from others that Cheng Jiahang was fine.

But it was very disappointing. Chen Xi wiped her tears, shook her head, and said in a sobbing voice: "We don't know either. We are waiting. We have been in for half an hour, and the doctor has not given any definite answer."

Meng Zhiling also looked at the operating room anxiously and could only wait calmly.

"Hmph, if it weren't for you, how could Cheng Jiahang have ended up lying in there? Beauty is truly a disaster!" This time it wasn't Xu Ziyi who spoke, but the woman next to Xu Ziyi named Mei. Meng Zhiling could never remember her name.

"Li Qingmei, can you please use your brain before you speak? If it weren't for Zhiling, would you still be standing here talking? I guess even if all of us fed that giant shark, it still wouldn't feel full. Do you still have the nerve to say such things now?" Chen Xi usually didn't like to talk much with them, but this time, she couldn't stand it anymore.

"Haha, you make her sound like a savior. We can still leave without her, right? Can she fight off that monster on her own?" Li Qingmei obviously couldn't understand why Meng Zhiling was able to come back alive. Even if she came back alive, she must have been a special police officer who arrived in time. Otherwise, how could Meng Zhiling be standing here?

"Haha, classmate Li Qingmei, I'm not in the mood to listen to you talking about this here, but what I want to tell you is that the monster was not beaten back, but was killed by me. Do you want to go to the beach with me now to take another look?" Meng Zhiling stared at Li Qingmei closely, her eyes were extremely cold.

Li Qingmei couldn't help but shiver, and felt as if a cold current flowed out of her eyes and shot straight into her heart.

Li Qingmei bit her lip and dared not say another word. She kept her mouth tightly shut and waited silently with everyone else.

"What's going on, Teacher Li? You have to explain it to me clearly. Didn't the school organize a camping trip? How come we are camping in the hospital now?" Just as everyone was waiting anxiously, a middle-aged couple came out of the elevator. The man looked like a social elite, while the woman looked very anxious. Although anxious, she was still very dignified.

Standing in front of Teacher Li, he looked at the operating room and began to ask questions aggressively.

"Mrs. Cheng, please don't get excited. Let's sit down and talk slowly. This incident was purely an accident. Of course, the primary responsibility still lies with our school. We did not take safety measures in advance. It is our responsibility." Teacher Li also lowered his head, but this official explanation made Mrs. Cheng even more excited.

"Hmph, what's your responsibility? If anything happens to my son, I will not let your school have an easy time. Just wait to be sued." Mrs. Cheng is a person who has worked hard in the business world. In such a scenario, the first thing she thought of was to hold people accountable and solve the problem, instead of caring about her son's condition first.

Meng Zhiling sneered, "Mrs. Cheng, this incident was indeed an accident. No one expected it. The school certainly has some responsibility. But why don't you pay attention to your son's condition first?"

"Who are you? Why are you talking to me?" Mrs. Cheng looked arrogant. Meng Zhiling finally understood why Cheng Jiaming, with his sunny and handsome appearance, always had a melancholy look in his eyes. It turned out that it was caused by family reasons.

And what she can't stand the most is people who don't know how to cherish family ties.

"I'm Cheng Jiahang's classmate."

Meng Zhiling met Mrs. Cheng's eyes and spoke calmly.

"Mrs. Cheng, your son was injured and admitted to the hospital because he was trying to save her." Li Qingmei next to her could no longer sit still, so she stood up and added.

Meng Zhiling turned her head and glanced at her. Li Qingmei immediately sat down again. At the same time, Xu Ziyi tugged at Li Qingmei's clothes, signaling her not to speak.

"Is what she said true?" Mrs. Cheng looked at Meng Zhiling with extremely sharp eyes, and it seemed as if she wanted to make Meng Zhiling pay with her life.

However, Meng Zhiling smiled slightly and nodded. Li Qingmei was indeed right about this point. "Yes, Cheng Jiahang was injured because he was trying to save me."

"But at that time, I asked him to leave, and he did leave with other classmates. Who would have thought that he would come back in the end." Meng Zhiling tried to explain. She also knew that these explanations were useless because the facts still existed. After all, a debt was owed.

"No need to explain so much. Just tell me how you are going to compensate us." Mrs. Cheng also looked at Meng Zhiling coldly, but Meng Zhiling was caught off guard by her compensation.

"Compensation?" To be honest, she thought about making compensation, but she was afraid that her "compensation" would hurt Cheng Jiaming's heart. After all, he was such a sincere person, so sincere that you couldn't bear to blame him for anything he did. Unexpectedly, his family was completely different from him.

"What? I was injured for you, shouldn't you be compensated?" Mrs. Cheng still looked condescending, as if this was just a business deal, and whether the deal would be successful depended entirely on how much she asked for.

"Don't do this. The child is still in there and we don't know what will happen. If Jiahang finds out about you doing this, he will be angry again." Mr. Cheng, who was sitting on the side, finally spoke up, trying to dissuade his wife from such behavior.

"Angry? So what if you're angry? You won't be home for half a year again? I think you're just spoiling your son too much. I've said it before, if you continue to spoil your son like this, sooner or later something will happen to him." Mrs. Cheng suddenly raised her voice, pointed at Mr. Cheng, and despite so many people being present, she publicly accused and scolded him.

"Okay, Mrs. Cheng, stop arguing. Just name your price. How much compensation do you want?" Meng Zhiling couldn't stand it anymore. With someone like this, it would be better to talk about money directly. Perhaps she would be more rational.

Sure enough, when Mrs. Cheng heard that Meng Zhiling really wanted to make compensation, she immediately turned her head, and her eyes almost lit up.

"What do you think? Since we don't know the child's specific condition yet, I can't tell you the specific amount. Let's wait for the doctor to come out and see what's going on, then we can discuss it. Otherwise, if it's too much, people will accuse me of bullying a little student." Mrs. Cheng was indeed much more rational this time, and her voice and attitude were much more elegant than before.

Coincidentally, as soon as Mrs. Cheng finished speaking, the lights in the operating room went out, and the attending doctor came out first, took off his mask, and looked solemn.

"Doctor, how is the patient?" Meng Zhiling was the first to rush to the doctor and asked nervously.

As long as she doesn't become disabled, that's her greatest hope.

"The patient's right calf has a severe comminuted fracture and a moderate concussion. A steel plate has been placed in the calf, but even if it fully recovers in the future, it is estimated that the leg can only maintain daily walking. He cannot exercise or anything like that. If he walks, there may be certain defects." The doctor said solemnly, and it seemed that he had done his best.

"Does that mean he will be a cripple in the future?" Meng Zhiling was stunned for a few seconds. Mrs. Cheng pulled Meng Zhiling away and spoke to the doctor in a harsh but straightforward manner.

The doctor nodded. "That's understandable."

"He should wake up once the anesthetic wears off. Fortunately, he didn't suffer any serious brain damage. He needs to rest. If so many of you were to stay here, it would disturb the rest of the other patients. Just two of you should stay to take care of him. By the way, the admission procedures haven't been completed yet. The patient's family members should go with the nurse to complete them."

The doctor left after he finished speaking, and Mr. Cheng planned to follow a nurse to go through the formalities, but was stopped by Mrs. Cheng.

"What are you going to do?"

"Go through the admission procedures and pay the fees." Mr. Cheng didn't understand what his wife meant by this question.

"Someone will naturally go and handle the formalities for the vow. We are the victims, so of course the responsible party should handle it. You just need to go and protect your son. You don't need to worry about these matters."

Meng Zhiling sneered in her heart, and of course she already understood her intention.

"Mr. Cheng, please take good care of Jiahang. I will handle it." Meng Zhiling said politely to Mr. Cheng, not seeming to pay any attention to Mrs. Cheng at all.

In her understanding, isn't a mother the one who loves her child the most? Even if a child gets a mosquito bite, she'll be grieving for the entire morning. But what's wrong with this Mrs. Cheng?

But then she laughed at herself. Was she too naive, or did she have a bad memory and forget about her past life? Wasn't she an orphan in her past life? She didn't even know what her parents looked like, and she had been raised in an orphanage until she met Absalom. She had been haunted by nightmares her entire life.

"Uncle, how is it? Is Jiahang awake?" Meng Zhiling came to the ward after paying the bill. She wanted to make sure that Cheng Jiahang could really wake up, so she asked in a low voice.

"Oh, not yet." Mr. Cheng sat aside, staring at Cheng Jiahang, who was pale on the bed, with a melancholy look on his face, as if he was thinking about something.
