Chapter 1487: Chapter 1489: Compensation for Medical Expenses Chapter 1487: Chapter 1489: Compensation for Medical Expenses âExactly, there are so many people here, and itâs so dangerous!â
âDonât think itâs not a sharp weapon, but swinging it and hitting the head, thatâs no joke!â
The parents of that child were shouting at Old Meng like they were firing off a barrage of cannon shots, one after the other.
Meanwhile, the child continued to cry and complain of a headache.
Meng Xi only felt a headache himself, with his temples throbbing unbearably.
His sleep quality was too poor lately, and when something weighed on his mind, he found himself unable to sleep all night. Just last night, he kept thinking about what to say to Chiang Xiao today, which resulted in a sleepless night.
Now, with these people shouting at him, the childâs loud crying, and his toes throbbing with pain, he was finding it hard to cope.
Old Tang had just gone to confirm the menu with the restaurant manager. When he came back, he heard a commotion inside and couldnât help but feel a jolt of alarm.
Could something have happened?
It had been a long time since he had hosted a banquet, and he hadnât expected those few relatives to bring all their children, resulting in a table being added at the last minute. Thatâs why he went to confirm with the restaurant to ensure there was enough food.
But what he didnât expect was that in the short time he was away, the children had started making trouble.
When he heard the sound of a child crying, he initially didnât think of anything else, assuming it was just the kids making a fuss.
âWhat happened?â He hurried over, only to discover that everyone was crowding around Old Meng.
âOld TangâŠâ
Old Meng had just started speaking when he was interrupted by the woman who had spoken first, âUncle, it was Old Mr. Meng, being careless, he let Xiao Wei play with his cane, and Xiao Wei ended up hitting Xiao Guang on the head!â
Old Meng was so angry he nearly passed out.
When had he ever let the children play with his cane?
If it hadnât been for someone who had kicked his cane earlier, it would have remained in his hand. It was only after being kicked, he had placed the cane aside, and then the child ran over and took the cane while he wasnât paying attention. He had clearly asked the woman to call the child back â what had she said at that time?
And now they were claiming he had given the cane to the child to play with of his own accord?
âNow Xiao Guang is crying like this, Uncle, this wonât do. I think we need to take Xiao Guang to the hospital for a check-up. Itâs the head thatâs been hit, and this might be serious.â Xiao Guangâs Dad said.
Old Tang was taken aback.
âRight, we canât delay this. Old Mr. Meng has a car, doesnât he? People like you can afford to ride in luxury cars,â Xiao Guangâs Mom also said. âOtherwise, let Old Mr. Meng come with us to the hospital, we can use your car.â
âYou can take Xiao Guang to the hospital now, Iâll have Tang Qing arrange a car for you. Why does Old Meng have to go with you?â Old Tang was angry.
Xiao Guangâs Dad said, âUncle, thatâs not the point, the hits are on the head, we donât know how serious it is, we need to have Old Mr. Meng with us, what if the medical bills are too expensive, where would we get the money to pay?â
Old Mengâs chest heaved, eyes darkening with waves of anger.
So they want him to pay for the medical expenses?
Does this mean the childâs injury is being pinned on him as his responsibility?
What about his reputation?
Old Tangâs face was also turning green with rage.
He never imagined that hosting a banquet could lead to such a mess. If he had known this would happen, how could he have agreed to invite these people on a whim?
Are they intent on ruining his birthday celebration?
Tang Qing also knew something had gone wrong inside and was about to enter when Yun Xian and Chiang Xiao had already arrived.
âTang Qing.â
Tang Qing turned around, saw them, and quickly greeted them.
