I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 609 The Settlement Agreement Was a Loss

my daughter!

Fang Qingye looked closely and saw that the little girl's features resembled his own. With excitement, he walked towards her, gently squatted down, and smiled, "Qingqing, call me Daddy."

The little girl looked up at the nanny standing at the door, a little confused.

"Qingqing, call me Daddy."

The little girl looked at the strange man in front of her again, but in the end she still obediently called out "Daddy".

"Qingqing, my good daughter." Fang Qingye picked up the little girl and held her high in the air, making Qingqing giggle happily.

Perhaps it was the deep bond between father and daughter that made Qingqing a little timid at first, but she quickly became friends with Fang Qingye, hanging on him like a little wombat and refusing to come down.

Of course, Fang Qingye was also reluctant to abandon her daughter.

In the afternoon, Fang Qingye took her daughter to the hospital to visit her mother. They stayed at home that night and were discharged three days later. As the saying goes, "it takes a hundred days to recover from a bone injury," so she mainly rested at home.

Fang Qingye rented a car to take Xia He home and even bought her a wheelchair.

"Finally home!" Xia He sat in her wheelchair as Fang Qingye pushed her into the house. Seeing the familiar surroundings made her feel much happier.

"Where's Qingqing?"

"Mommy, Mommy!" The little girl ran happily out of the room and jumped into Xia He's arms.

Now the family is reunited and discussing their future together.

Xia He is unable to work and needs further rehabilitation. It's definitely not feasible to have just one nanny to take care of both the child and the adults.

Although Fang Qingye can help now, he knows he can't stay here for too long, after all, Bai Ou is pregnant and there are still a lot of things to do at home.

“We need to hire another nanny,” Fang Qingye said, then looked around the two-bedroom, two-living-room house. “But the house is too small to live in. How about this, I’ll ask Jiang Feng from Brother Qiao’s office to help us find a villa, so we can get it right away.”

"Don't live too far from my financial consulting firm, I still need to go to work," Xia He reminded her.

Why.
Why are you even going to work if you're like this?

Why are you like a white lotus root? Don't you know how to enjoy life?

However, he knew that he should go along with Xia He's wishes now, as long as she was happy.

Fang Qingye immediately used a new cell phone she had bought in the United States—with a local number—to dial Jiang Feng's number.

"Hello, Director Jiang, this is Fang Qingye. I'm staying at a friend's house. Could you please help me find a single-family home in Flushing, Queens? I'd like to buy it permanently."

"The surrounding area must be safe and have a good environment, the garden must be large, and the price doesn't matter," Fang Qingye said on the phone.

"It would be best if it were a good school!" Xia He whispered a reminder from the side.

Fang Qingye glanced at her and continued, "It would be best if there were good schools nearby, like primary schools and middle schools. Once you've found one, call me at this new number. Thank you."

The nanny standing nearby was secretly surprised.

No wonder Xia He lives alone in such a big house; it turns out her lover is a very wealthy man back home.

They wanted to buy a villa right away.

Xia He is so lucky.

Hu Quanjing secretly envied her, but Xia He was also very kind to her.

She is a kind woman.

Hu Quanjing was muttering to herself when she suddenly remembered something and quickly took out a letter from the living room drawer and handed it to Xia He.

"Miss Xia, this is a letter we just received today."

Xia He opened the package and her expression changed.

"What kind of letter is it?" Fang Qingye asked curiously.

"A settlement agreement." "Hmm?"

Fang Qingye took it and saw that it was indeed a settlement agreement, a traffic accident settlement agreement between the perpetrators named Griffith and Xia He.

"The responsibility lies entirely with the other party, so why is the compensation only 5?!" Fang Qingye was surprised when she saw the compensation amount.

You should know that when Xia He was discharged from the hospital today, the total cost, including the surgery and all other expenses, was $10.8!
Although Xia He bought herself commercial medical insurance, which will reimburse part of the costs in the future, the compensation of 5 yuan is far from enough, as there is also the need for post-rehabilitation training and so on.

Hearing this, Xia He sighed, "Alas, it's all my fault."

According to US traffic accident handling procedures, there are generally two options: one is to reach a settlement directly, and the other is to hire a lawyer and file a lawsuit.

If a criminal case is involved, the case will be prosecuted by the district attorney, but this will not affect the handling of the civil aspects.

"I was injured at the time and lying in the hospital alone. I had no energy to deal with this. The police brought the perpetrator to the hospital to find me. The police said the criminal department had transferred the case to the district attorney's office for prosecution. The civil department suggested we settle directly, as this would be faster and resolve the matter once and for all, avoiding further hassle later. I agreed. I never expected this..."

Seeing Xia He's distressed expression, Fang Qingye quickly comforted her, "It's okay, we're not short of money. This matter will pass. Just stay home and recover well, and don't think about anything!"

"Okay!" Xia He nodded.

"Come here, Qingqing, let Daddy hug you." Fang Qingye squatted down and opened his arms. The little girl got down from her mother's arms and rushed to Fang Qingye.

Fang Qingye picked up his daughter and said affectionately, "Qingqing, give Daddy a kiss."

"Give Mom another kiss."

The room was filled with happy laughter.

That night, Fang Qingye lay down next to Xia He, with her daughter already fast asleep beside her.

"Xiahe, I'm going to stay here for a while. I want to go to the New York DMV to apply for a temporary driver's license so it will be easier for me to go out."

Xia He already knew that Fang Qingye had come to New York under the guise of setting up an office for Tuofang Technology Company, which was why he could stay in New York for a while longer.

Of course, he hoped that the man he loved would spend more time with him.

"Yes, that's good too, it'll be more convenient to go out."

Smelling the familiar masculine scent, Xia He suddenly felt flustered.

"Qingye, you're saying Bai'ou is pregnant too?"

"Yes, it's been more than two months," Fang Qingye answered truthfully.

"Then you aren't?"

"What's wrong?"

"You do not want it?"

"Of course I want to. Is it okay for you to be like this?"

"Okay, we'll take it slowly, sideways."

"Qingqing is right there."

"She's fast asleep, let's be careful."

"Um"

In the darkness, Xia He's low moans soon rang out.

The next morning, Fang Qingye helped Xia He get up and found that Xia He looked much better than yesterday, with a rosy complexion.

The couple got up, and with Fang Qingye's help, Xia He finished washing up using her crutches. The two ate breakfast together, and Fang Qingye said goodbye to his wife and daughter, gave a few more instructions to the nanny, and then went out.

Fang Qingye did not take the subway directly to DMV, but instead took a taxi to a nearby law firm based on the information she had found online the day before.

Xia He was seriously injured, and they just gave up on her for 5 yuan?
Of course it can't be that simple!
