"And then what? That's it?" Mei Yun looked at her in disbelief, "Wait a minute. This matter absolutely cannot be let go just like this."
She immediately took out her phone and made a call.
As soon as the call connected, she angrily shouted into the phone, "Qin Xiuyi, your family's dog bit our Xi Xi, and this is how you're handling it?"
At this moment, Qin Xiuyi had just arrived at his office and was utterly confused. He quickly sat up straight and asked, "Mei Yun, I don't understand what you're talking about. We don't have any dogs at home?"
"Don't play dumb. Xi Xi was bitten by a dog on her leg yesterday morning when she went to your family's house to accompany your elderly matriarch. She's still bleeding and lying in bed now."
As Mei Yun spoke, her voice began to choke up.
"Qin Xiuyi, I'm telling you, you... you mustn't think that Xi Xi is all alone and easy to bully, to be brushed off so easily. With me here, this matter... this matter cannot just pass like this.
Do you know how serious it is to be bitten by a dog? You must compensate us."
Shen Xi was first startled when she heard her aunt calling Qin Xiuyi by his name. Later, upon hearing the word "compensation," she quickly got out of bed, trying to snatch the phone from her.
"Auntie, please, stop talking."
"Xi Xi, don't be afraid, with Auntie here, I will definitely get justice for you." Mei Yun held the phone up and, with a backward spin, quickly dodged her.
Seeing her standing still and still speaking into the phone, she loudly declared, "Qin Xiuyi, if you cannot satisfy us, I will go to your house and speak to the elderly matriarch myself."
"Alright, alright. Mei Yun, don't rush. I'll ask Si Ye what exactly happened. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." Qin Xiuyi finally understood and quickly hung up the phone to call Qin Si Ye.
Mei Yun put down the phone and met Shen Xi's helpless gaze.
"Auntie, how could you call the Qin family directly to demand compensation?"
"What's wrong with that? It's their fault. Just because they're rich, can they treat people like this?" Mei Yun sat on the sofa dismissively.
"But by doing this, how will they see me? It'll look like I'm deliberately extorting them because of this injury," Shen Xi looked at her, troubled.
Mei Yun frowned, "Xi Xi, why would you think that? We are only asking for the compensation that rightfully belongs to us. Think about it, with your injury, you can't go to work, the children have no one to pick them up, your daily life is inconvenient, and your mental state..."
"Alright, Auntie, please stop talking." Shen Xi walked into the bathroom with a speechless expression.
Since the incident had already happened, there was no point in saying more. She hoped Qin Si Ye wouldn't take this matter seriously.
About ten minutes later, when she came out, Mei Yun was still in the room.
"Auntie, why aren't you going down to eat?"
"I'm waiting for Qin Xiuyi to reply to me." Just as Mei Yun finished speaking, Shen Xi's phone suddenly rang.
She walked over slowly, picked it up, and her heart skipped a beat. After a moment of hesitation, she answered the call.
"Mr. Qin."
"My uncle said your aunt called him, asking our Qin family to take responsibility for your injury. Is that also your intention?" Qin Si Ye's deep voice came from the other end of the phone.
Shen Xi quickly denied it, "No. Mr. Qin, please don't take it seriously. It's my aunt, she's making a mountain out of a molehill."
"What mountain out of a molehill?" Hearing her say that, Mei Yun immediately realized who was on the phone and quickly walked over, snatching the phone, "Give it to me, I'll talk to him."
"Auntie..." Shen Xi tried to reach for it, but Mei Yun quickly took it away.
She walked to the sofa, turned on the speakerphone, deliberately letting Shen Xi hear.
"Qin Si Ye, you are the head of the Qin family now, aren't you?"
"Yes."
"Our Xi Xi was injured in your house, shouldn't you be responsible?"
"Yes. What are your requirements? Please state them."
"Medical expenses, lost wages, nutrition fees, and compensation for emotional distress, all of these need to be paid, right?"
"Yes. How much do you say? I'll transfer it."
Mei Yun thought for a moment and replied, "One million. Xi Xi still needs to get a few vaccine shots for her injury, which will take about a month. One million isn't too much, is it?"
"It's not too much. I'll arrange for someone to personally escort her for the vaccinations."
