Chapter 1321 - 835: Anxious Zhang Sumei

You ask her, but she's one of your own!

A seemingly light remark struck Kang Zhirong like a thunderbolt, leaving him staring at Xie Kaiyao beside him.

He hoped to see a result that satisfied him, but what met his eyes was Xie Kaiyao's panicked gaze.

In an instant, his mind began to buzz chaotically, as if a detuned radio had been shoved into his ears, and all he could hear was static instead of the words spoken around him.

One of your own?!

Those three words were like the axe his father used to chop wood in his childhood, each swing leaving his thoughts scattered, unable to concentrate on dealing with the situation at hand.

As he moved his gaze blankly from Xie Kaiyao's face to the man's face on the sick bed again, each change in the man's expression felt like a swung slap, mercilessly striking his face.

What the hell have I done during this time?

The anger and embarrassment instantly filled his mind. Remembering the things he had done before made his face burn with a tingling pain.

The more he thought about it, the more panicked he felt.

He didn't even dare to lift his head, fearing to see the expression on Lawyer Zhou's face beside him, afraid that Lawyer Zhou would mock him.

He didn't dare to look at the man on the sick bed, fearing the sight of mockery.

He didn't dare to look at Xie Kaiyao beside him, fearing he might not be able to resist taking drastic actions against the woman.

His face burned, heart palpitating, his mind an utter mess until he blindly walked out of the hospital room and was awakened by the sudden noise in the hospital hall.

"...Xiao Kang, the agreement is signed, make sure to transfer the money as soon as possible, to avoid any complications."

The voice of Lawyer Zhou reached Kang Zhirong's ears, but he didn't catch what was said earlier, only hearing the latter part.

Is it over?

Kang Zhirong looked around blankly, seeing Lawyer Zhou walking ahead, still reminding him, and Xie Kaiyao following closely behind.

But when he looked at Xie Kaiyao again, the previous anger and embarrassment were suddenly gone, replaced by a calmness that even surprised himself, wondering if he had been overstimulated.

"Xiao Kang, hold onto the agreement and transfer the money to the account in the agreement."

Outside the hall, Lawyer Zhou stopped, handed him a few pages of paper, "Remember, keep a record of the transaction after the transfer.

Of course, if you think transferring is inconvenient, you can go again and give him cash directly, but make sure to get a receipt."

Kang Zhirong's mind slowly began to function again; although not knowing how much he should compensate, he nodded and agreed, "Don't worry, Lawyer Zhou, I will transfer it once I get back."

Lawyer Zhou gave a good-natured glance at Kang Zhirong.

She had been following Kang Zhirong's case from start to finish, fully understanding the complexities within, and could completely understand his previous absent-minded behavior.

But she wouldn't comment on it; she only needed to fulfill her employment with Du Heng.

Besides, Kang Zhirong was still young; suffering a bit and gaining more experience is also a good thing.

As for the compensation of 20,000 yuan, to Kang Zhirong now, it was really nothing significant.

"I won't meddle with the remaining matters, handle them quickly, and get your state adjusted." Lawyer Zhou tucked the hair falling by her ear, "I've already contacted Mr. Liao, and three days later, we'll go to the capital together."

"The capital?" Kang Zhirong's mind was still a bit foggy.

Left with no other choice, Lawyer Zhou had to remind him, "Doctor Du contacted a cosmetics company in the capital, and as Doctor Du's representative, you must go."

It was only then that Kang Zhirong understood, responding quickly, "I got it, Lawyer Zhou, don't worry, I won't delay anything."

Lawyer Zhou acknowledged softly, glanced at Xie Kaiyao beside Kang Zhirong, and then left first.

Once Lawyer Zhou left, Du Heng sighed in relief and began scanning through the handful of papers in his hand.

As expected, it was the compensation agreement signed with the other party.

At the very end, Kang Zhirong even saw his own signature, but he had no recollection of signing it nor the state he was in at the time.

Was it embarrassing?

Kang Zhirong let out a self-mocking laugh, then closed the agreement and prepared to leave as well.

"Rong, I'm sorry, I..."

A familiar voice tinged with grievance suddenly reached his ear, causing a previously calm Keng Zhirong's emotions to wildly surge again.

Originally, he didn't want to care about this woman anymore; it would have been much better to part quietly.

But he didn't understand why she had to come out and talk to him now.

Did she think he was easy to bully? Or did she just assume he was an idiot?

His mind was still a bit muddled, unable to recall what she had said in the hospital room. But the fact that she had spent an entire day and night with that man was unacceptable to Kang Zhirong.
