Chapter 678 - 673: Signing a Written Agreement
CHAPTER 678: CHAPTER 673: SIGNING A WRITTEN AGREEMENT
But before Bai Jing could speak, Zhou Yunmei immediately rushed up, pointing at the lab report and said, "Of course it can be used as evidence. Could there be any mistake with this lab report? It was issued by the doctors in the hospital after a thorough examination. For sure, there won’t be any error. Do you still intend to pin this bastard child on our Luo Family?"
As soon as Zhou Yunmei finished speaking, Xu He, who was relatively low-key today, also spoke up, "Exactly, Fang Xiu deliberately made it look real previously, causing Zhiming to spend money every now and then to buy things for the child. He must have spent quite a bit of money."
Hearing about money, Zhou Yunmei immediately started to make trouble, reaching out to Fang Pingying and Fang Xiu for money, "Ah, a lot of money was spent? Now that it’s confirmed that the child is not ours, your Fang Family better compensate us. My son worked so hard to earn that money, why should it be spent on such a bastard?"
"You..." Luo Zhiyong frowned upon hearing this, never having seen such shameless people who would even demand money spent on buying things for a child.
He was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Fang Pingying was quite easy to talk to at this moment. She held back Luo Zhiyong, signaling him not to speak, and took Luo Zhiming, Xu He, and Zhou Yunmei to the study room at their home, away from Bai Jing and others. Then she briskly said to Zhou Yunmei and Xu He, "Alright, tell me how much you want?"
Perhaps because of Fang Pingying’s unexpectedly accommodating attitude, Xu He and Zhou Yunmei were taken aback. Based on their understanding of Fang Pingying, she would definitely not agree to pay this kind of money.
They just said it casually, if they could get the money, they would take it, if not, they would let it go.
But hearing Fang Pingying actually agreed, both were stunned for a moment, and Zhou Yunmei stuttered, "At least... US$ 100."
"Sure, here is US$ 100." Fang Pingying quickly pulled out US$ 100, flaunted it in front of Zhou Yunmei, and just as Zhou Yunmei reached out to take it, Fang Pingying suddenly withdrew the money and said, "You can have the money, as long as you agree to one condition then the US$ 100 is yours."
Zhou Yunmei immediately asked, "What condition?"
Fang Pingying said, "Very simple, Luo Zhiming, you write a letter stating that no matter who Haohao’s father is, you voluntarily give up the custody of Haohao and will have nothing to do with him in the future."
Zhou Yunmei immediately agreed upon hearing that it was just this requirement, "I’ll write it then."
"Mom." But Luo Zhiming wasn’t yet dizzy from the US$ 100, he felt something was off, called Zhou Yunmei, and somewhat puzzledly asked Fang Pingying, "Sister-in-law, the verification results have already come out, could there be a mistake? It’s confirmed that Haohao is not my child, why do you still insist on me writing this?"
Zhou Yunmei then remembered this issue, and also irritably added, "Exactly, it’s totally unnecessary. Do you think all of us in the Luo Family are fools, to still insist on fighting for a child who is totally unrelated to our Luo family?"
Halfway through, considering the money, she hastily changed her words, "Child, what for? We would rather stay far away."
Fang Pingying, unaffected by their responses, looked at them with a sarcastic smile, "The reason for this is because people in your Luo Family are too fickle, changing all the time. When Fang Xiu had the child, didn’t you also clearly say that the child would definitely have nothing to do with you? Yet, you kept disturbing our lives afterward."
After speaking, Fang Pingying glanced disdainfully at the three from the Luo Family, "I have no other intentions, just want to buy some peace. Otherwise, you’d come and make trouble every so often. For us, this letter of agreement is a guarantee, for you, it merely acts as a deterrent."
This explanation by Fang Pingying seemed reasonable, and coupled with the allure of US$ 100, Zhou Yunmei immediately urged, "Then, Zhiming just write it. Anyway, we definitely won’t have any dealings with this child in the future. Now that there’s US$ 100 at stake, we shouldn’t let it go for nothing."
For this matter, Xu He didn’t consider it carefully, regardless whether the child was his or not, she wished Luo Zhiming would not acknowledge him, therefore she also urged Luo Zhiming similarly like Zhou Yunmei, "Exactly, Zhiming, why hesitate? US$ 100 can buy many things for the child in my belly."
Although Fang Pingying’s explanation seemed reasonable, Luo Zhiming still felt something was not right and wasn’t quite willing to write it. But being persuaded by Xu He and Zhou Yunmei made him think it made sense and he unhesitantly wrote a note according to what Fang Pingying said, signed his name and even stamped his fingerprint.
After everything was done, Fang Pingying checked the note, saw that everything was in order, took the note away, and then handed US$ 100 to Luo Zhiming.
The money hadn’t even been transferred yet, but Xu He and Zhou Yunmei were already eyeing it covetously, both of them eagerly tried to grab it from Fang Pingying’s hands.
Since both despised each other and competed for the money, Xu He and Zhou Yunmei almost started fighting right there. Fang Pingying watched the lively scene for a while before eventually Luo Zhiming intervened and took the money, which made these two women stop.
After finishing this matter, Fang Pingying naturally went on to handle the most important thing, dealing with Bai Jing.
She called Luo Zhiming and others to the living room, where it was already chaotic. Zhou’s parents were quarreling non-stop with Zhou Guangsheng because they had just learned of Fang Xiu’s situation, with Bai Jing fueling the controversy.
Likely, Fang Pingying calling Luo Zhiming and others into the room made Bai Jing somewhat nervous, so when she saw Fang Pingying and others coming out from the room, she immediately fixed her gaze on their faces trying to discern something. Seeing that there was nothing unusual about them, she heaved a slight sigh of relief.
However, before she could fully relax, Fang Pingying came out speaking, "Bai Jing, I have a question for you?"
Bai Jing, slightly taken aback, responded irritably to Fang Pingying with a nod, "Speak."
Fang Pingying repeated her previous question, asking, "You just said the lab report was definitely issued by your hospital, and it is certain that Haohao is not Luo Zhiming’s son, there couldn’t be any mistake, right?"
Before Bai Jing could speak, Zhou Yunmei immediately said, "Of course there can’t be any mistake, she herself issued the report for us, how could it be wrong."
"That’s good." Fang Pingying looked at Bai Jing and nodded slightly. While Bai Jing felt somewhat frightened, Fang Pingying then loudly shouted, "Zhiyong, Xiu’er, we are going to the Police Station now."
Luo Zhiyong could guess what Fang Pingying intended by this point, but others in the room didn’t understand and asked blankly, "Why go to the Police Station all of a sudden, does the Police Station even handle this kind of stuff?"
Fang Pingying glanced around the room, her gaze finally resting on Bai Jing, and said with a faint smile, "I’m going to report to the police. Some doctors and nurses from the City People’s Hospital have accepted bribes and issued fraudulent reports."
