When Jiang Mei heard that Gu An'an was asking her to compensate for abuse and emotional damage, in addition to the 500 yuan loan, she was so angry that she roared.
"You might as well go rob on the streets!!"
Her voice was sharp and shrill, and her facial features were severely distorted.
Gu An'an smiled and blinked, but her expression was stern as she said, "You're wrong to say that. Liu Zhengping's disgraceful behavior has not only caused me emotional harm, but also psychological damage. I think your family owes me an explanation."
"It's also because I'm kind-hearted that I let you get away with giving me a small amount of money to appease me and settle this matter. But if I had even a tiny bit of cruelty in me, your son's future would be over!"
Her tone was firm and forceful, instilling a sense of fear in those who were present.
"Rob? That's an awful thing to say."
At most, she was just making her demands known.
"Besides, even if I really were trying to rob you, you would have to give it to me obediently, wouldn't you?"
"In addition, when my mother lent you money to tide you over when you were in need, you and Uncle Liu promised to repay it within three months. However, this money has remained unpaid all this time. It has been delayed for twelve years, so you should at least pay the interest for twelve years, right?"
At this point, Gu An'an smiled at Jiang Mei, who looked like she was dying to attack her. She started speaking again, "Back then, you and Uncle Liu borrowed 500 yuan from my mother. As for the interest, just give me 300 yuan as a token of appreciation. In addition to the payment for damages, it's exactly 1,000 yuan."
"You… you…"
Jiang Mei clutched her chest, feeling suffocated. She felt like she was going to faint at any moment.
When Liu Zhihe and Liu Zhengping heard her words, their faces instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. Their hands were clenched so tightly that their joints were cracking.
Unable to bear it any longer, Gu Nana quickly stepped forward and pointed her finger at Gu An'an, before starting to curse at her.
"Don't even think about it! We won't give you a cent more beyond 500 yuan! You're a worthless girl that nobody wants, and we are already being generous by returning the money to you. Dream on if you hope to get more."
"You little brat. To think that you're actually resorting to bandit tactics now. You are really embarrassing me." Gu Jianguo's wife was pinching him very hard. It hurt so much that he winced in pain and quickly scolded Gu An'an.
Gu An'an sneered. "Father, Uncle Liu who is a biological father had not even started defending his son, but you are in such a hurry to reprimand me. Is Liu Zhengping your son, that you had with Auntie Jiang? Otherwise, why would you side with outsiders and not protect your own daughter?"
Her words instantly drew blood.
These words not only silenced everyone, but also infuriated them to the point where their eyes were gleaming with anger.
Jiang Mei was feeling embarrassed and angry. She gritted her teeth and shouted at the girl, "You're spouting nonsense."
"Liu Zhihe, are you going to give us the money or not? If not, we'll settle it at the neighborhood office now. If you are going to give us the money, you should hurry home to get it." After Wu Chunhua recovered from her shock, she immediately shouted at Liu Zhihe.
"Go and get her the money!" Liu Zhihe's face was darker than coal. He clenched his jaws and said, "Hurry up and go!"
After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Mei with a look of warning in his cold eyes.
He could no longer hang around here in the Gu residence, so they should quickly pay up and leave.
He was really afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be driven to his grave by Gu An'an. Also, in the presence of Director Yang and his wife, it was impossible for them to get away with paying the compensation.
They might even have to pay more than the stated amount.
Hence, he regarded the thousand yuan as a form of redemption. As long as this could shut Gu An'an up, this matter would be considered closed.
