Chapter 509: Invite me to watch a movie, huh?
After Mo Xing's words were out, Li Qi's heart clenched, and she was alarmed, thinking to herself that this was bad.
Mo Xing's intention was clear; they were not going to reconcile, and the matter was far from over.
As expected, Mo Xing smirked coldly, took a titanium alloy golf club from the car, and then swung it with great force, creating a whooshing sound as it cut through the air.
With a crack, the club made direct contact with the cellphone, immediately causing the screen to shatter, and the whole phone to bend. The phone was utterly destroyed by that single strike.
Seeing the cellphone completely broken, Li Qi's heart gave a violent lurch, her face turning pale as she felt sweat trickle down from her forehead.
"Alright, no need to worry about replacing the screen now. Your phone's worth what, over a hundred thousand, right? I'll give you two hundred thousand as compensation for all your losses, no problem with that, right?"
As he spoke these words, Li Ke on the side became anxiously eager to say something. Two hundred thousand—she couldn't afford that. At most, they were just friends; how could she accept it?
But Mo Xing just gave her a look, his gaze soft, conveying a warmth that was immensely reassuring, an absolute trust that unwittingly melted Li Ke's heart.
"Alright, the phone issue is settled. Now, let's talk about the matter of laying hands on my woman. Tell me, for touching my woman, how do you plan to compensate?"
As Mo Xing spoke, he smiled coldly. His woman was worth much more than a phone. A broken phone was worth hardly anything, but his woman was priceless.
"Oh yes, about the tennis ball that struck my woman's head—who hit it? It was you, wasn't it?" As he spoke, Mo Xing pointed at Li Qi and asked.
Feeling panicked, Li Qi couldn't help but nod her head, stuttering, "Mo... Mr. Mo... I was wrong, truly, really, please let me off."
"Look at what you're saying. We need to address the issue squarely. If not, we can call the police. My woman was working under the scorching sun and got hit by your ball and fell, then unfortunately damaged your phone."
"Fine, I'll compensate you for the phone, but you need to give me an explanation for touching my woman. And you others, don't think I won't lay a hand on you just because you're women."
"Damn it, whoever dares to lay hands on Mo Xing's woman shouldn't think I'll let you off easily. If you think you're tough enough, go ahead and call for help; I'll be waiting for you," Mo Xing exclaimed as he pulled Li Ke towards the nearby rest area and sat down, while Ye Ling followed and seated himself beside them.
A woman is a man's pride; Ye Ling couldn't intervene lightly in such matters, as it would damage a man's dignity and confidence.
It's over, completely over. If Mo Xing took this seriously, all of them were doomed—the men in their families would probably devour them.
Looking around nervously, the group of women were extremely tense. Li Qi bit her lip, realizing that the solution lay in their own hands; she signaled the other women with her eyes, then walked towards Ye Ling and company.
In the rest area, Mo Xing looked at Li Ke, her face flush with embarrassment, and couldn't help but laugh. "You're not scared, are you? These bastards are just trying to make things difficult for no reason. Watch how I take care of them."
Li Ke looked down, not daring to meet Mo Xing's gaze: "Thank you," she murmured, her voice as faint as a mosquito's, but to Mo Xing, it sounded like the most beautiful melody.
Ye Ling couldn't help but smile at the sight. Tsk tsk, this guy was probably going to make a big scene; after all, one always has to show off a bit in front of his future woman.
True to form, Mo Xing was making a ruckus about settling accounts, and just then, the group of women approached the trio.
With a thud, all the women, led by Li Qi, knelt down. Li Qi raised her head, looking at Li Ke: "We were wrong, please forgive us, Miss."
"We are not human, we don't understand the rules, we offended you with our stupidity, please, please help us beg Young Master Mo for mercy, spare us, we truly dare not do it again."
At this, Li Ke was stunned, what was this all about? She hurriedly tried to stand up and help these women up, but Mo Xing held her back.
"All of you get up, please, really, get up," Li Ke said hastily, obviously a bit flustered.
Mo Xing shook his head at her and then sneered, "Heh, now you realize your mistake. Why didn't you have this realization when you were ganging up on someone alone just now?"
"Say it, how much are you prepared to compensate? We're not extorting you; at the very least, give us an explanation. Otherwise, we'll talk business formally."
Li Qi smiled timidly, looking at Mo Xing, "Young Master Mo, how much do you think is appropriate?"
"Me? Alright, since you want me to say it, let's go with this amount. It's not much, it won't hurt your bones or strain your muscles. How does that sound?"
Mo Xing stretched out a finger, and Li Qi was taken aback: "One hundred thousand?"
"One hundred thousand my ass, one hundred thousand. Each of you, however many you are, each pays one million. If that works for you, we can let this matter pass. If not, we can talk more, I'll stick with it to the end," Mo Xing said fiercely, damn it, one hundred thousand, acting as if he was a beggar. His face, Mo Xing's face, wasn't worth just one hundred thousand anywhere.
What a joke, one hundred thousand yuan, that was like slapping the Mo Family of the Imperial Capital in the face. He couldn't afford to lose that much face.
One million, for these wealthy families, truly wasn't a lot. The women looked at each other and nodded in agreement, accepting the terms.
Mo Xing nodded, then asked for Li Ke's bank account number. The women quickly transferred the funds via mobile bank transactions, and in a few minutes, nearly ten million yuan were transferred into Li Ke's account.
Under Li Qi's lead, the group of women ran off, disgraced. They paid a heavy price for their mistake. Well, maybe not so heavy in terms of money, but kneeling was both a wise and heavy price to pay.
"I'm returning this money to you, thank you," Li Ke said, as she picked up her phone, the tremor in her heart matched by the string of zeros in her balance, handing the phone over to Mo Xing.
But Mo Xing was puzzled, "Why are you giving this to me? This is your money, their compensation to you, what do I want with it?"
"No! They gave it because of your influence, it has nothing to do with me. I'm already so very thankful that you would help me, I can't accept this money," Li Ke said anxiously.
Seeing this, Ye Ling couldn't help but chuckle and said, "You should just keep it, use this money to improve your parents' and your family's living situation."
"Give your parents some money to start a business, and also improve your own life. Don't wear yourself out, otherwise, this guy is going to feel bad."
After Ye Ling spoke, Mo Xing quickly nodded and then said with a smile, "Alright, you keep the money. Don't be shy about it, otherwise, I'm going to be upset."
"Besides, if you really want to thank me, then why not treat me to a movie? What do you say?" Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire
Mo Xing grinned, Li Ke nodded. Ten million in wealth, she did indeed feel a bit of an unexpected surprise.
Seeing this, Ye Ling thought, damn, I'm going to be the odd one out again. Look at the mess this has caused, turning myself into a third wheel.
