Before coming, Liang Shuang had specifically consulted with Luo Yan and her mother, so she was naturally not intimidated.

The lawyer smiled and said, "I was not threatening Ms. Liang. I was saying that if the matter is serious, she may face criminal charges."

"Miss Liang's case is relatively minor, and the punishment will not be so severe."

"However, according to the law, scratching a car is considered intentional damage to other people's property, which requires compensation based on the value of the damage, and may even result in detention."

“Ms. Liang, if this matter escalates, there is a possibility that you could be detained. If this is recorded in your file, it will affect your future studies and work.”

"I think we shouldn't be so extreme. It'll only make things look bad. It's better to find a way to resolve things properly."

Liang Shuang naturally understood this principle, but she couldn't afford to lose in terms of momentum.

"Who's afraid of who! Go ahead and sue me if you dare! Arrest me and see what happens to Chen Zhuo."

"He deceived a female student's feelings while he was already engaged to her. When he was exposed, he became enraged and sent her to detention."

"If he does that, his reputation will be completely ruined, cementing his reputation as a scumbag. Will his fiancée still marry him? Will his partner companies still trust him? Will netizens condemn him and cyberbully him if this gets online?"

"You think he's so great or has so much power? He's just a rich kid. His dad isn't the richest man in China, and he's not even a big name in Shenzhen. Don't take yourself too seriously."

"Me? I'm just a student, I have nothing, what am I afraid of! At worst, we'll fight to the death and see who suffers more! Let's see which side of public opinion sympathizes with me."

The lawyer was speechless.

“Ms. Liang, the matter is actually very simple. We can’t go to extremes. It would be best to resolve it properly. I think this is what you and Mr. Chen Zhuo both wish for.”

Liang Shuang said, "Tell me, what would be a proper solution?"

The lawyer hesitated for a moment before saying, "Regarding the damage to the car, you'll need to pay compensation and apologize..."

Liang Shuang slammed her hand on the table, her eyes wide: "Dream on! An apology is out of the question; as for compensation, Chen Zhuo is also responsible for the scratched car, I can't bear the burden alone."

The lawyer said with difficulty, "Ms. Liang, what you're saying is unreasonable."

Liang Shuang said coldly, "Everyone knows in their hearts who is being unreasonable and who is the real scum."

"I will not apologize, but I am willing to bear part of the compensation. This is my condition and bottom line. If you agree, we can talk. If you don't agree, then forget it."

"Go ahead and do it. Let's see who loses face when things get out of hand."

The lawyer gave Liang Shuang a troubled look.

"Miss Liang, your conditions are putting me in a difficult position?"

Liang Shuang said, "I know you can't make a decision. Just tell Chen Zhuo what I said and ask him what he means and whether he dares to make trouble!"

The lawyer hesitated for a moment: "Okay! I'll call Mr. Chen."

He took out his phone and walked outside.

Ten minutes later, the lawyer quietly walked in.

"Mr. Chen's point is that peace is the most important thing, and making a big fuss would be bad for everyone. In principle, he agrees to withdraw the lawsuit. At the same time, he hopes that you will promise not to escalate or publicize this matter further, which is also one of the conditions."

Liang Shuang said, "He's the one who's always looking for trouble. If he didn't, I wouldn't bother with him."

The lawyer said, "It's good that Ms. Liang thinks this way. Since you agree to this condition, let's talk about compensation."

Liang Shuang snorted: "Compensation? You just made demands, and now you want compensation."

The lawyer shrugged and said, "Mr. Chen has already made up his mind about compensation, and it cannot be canceled. If you disagree, you can only continue the lawsuit. We will not back down on this matter. Although making a big fuss will not be good for us either, Mr. Chen can prepare in advance to reduce the negative impact and losses."

"For you, this negative impact is obviously greater, and it may even accompany you for the rest of your life."

Liang Shuang was silent for a long time, then raised her head and said, "Compensation is fine, but he also has responsibility. It's impossible for me to bear the burden alone."

"Otherwise, let's make a scene! No matter how much preparation we do in advance, some negative impacts are unavoidable. Let's see who suffers the biggest loss."

"When would someone who's barefoot be afraid of someone who's wearing shoes?"

The lawyer hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay."

Liang Shuang said, "Aren't you going to call and ask again?"

The lawyer laughed and said, "No need, it's within my authority. Young lady, you're really capable."

Liang Shuang sighed and said, "What's so great about it! You still squeezed a lot of money out of us."

The lawyer said, "This isn't extortion; this is due compensation."

"Next, let's discuss the division of responsibilities and determine the amount of compensation for each party."

Liang Shuang said, "What about the car damage? What about the assessment? Have you done it? You can't lie to me."

The lawyer said, "Of course I have it. I'll send it to you right now, and you can verify it yourself."

……

More than half an hour later, after a heated exchange, the two parties officially signed a settlement agreement, under which Liang Shuang would have to bear 60% of the vehicle repair costs.

Although only a small portion was cut, it was still a considerable sum for Liang Shuang.

Fortunately, the matter was finally over, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Despite her tough exterior, she is actually just as afraid of a complete falling out. The consequences would be too heavy for her, and she would naturally not want to go that far if possible.

Leaving the courthouse, Liang Shuang felt her mood gradually improve as she looked at the bright sunshine and felt the warm breeze.

She had just calculated that if she sold all the bags and luxury items Chen Zhuo had given her before as secondhand, she could just cover the compensation.

That's good, it completely erases Chen Zhuo's traces, and there will be no more connection between them in the future.

She treated her past experiences as a dream, and upon waking, she was still herself, ready to start anew and begin a new life.

After leaving the courthouse, Liang Shuang walked slowly along the sidewalk beside the road, feeling inexplicably relaxed, yet also a little lost.

Suddenly, a car horn sounded in her ear. Liang Shuang turned around and saw the car window slowly rolling down. Li Mu asked, "Is the matter resolved?"

Liang Shuang said, "It's resolved!"

Then, surprised, she asked, "How did you know?"

Li Mu said, "I know it's perfectly normal!"

Liang Shuang snorted and said with dissatisfaction, "It must be Jiang Xiaoguo, she's so gossipy!"

Li Mu said, "I am also one of the witnesses to this matter. Shouldn't I know more about it?"

"And speaking of Xiaoguo, she's been good to you. I heard she wanted to come with you this morning, but you refused."

Liang Shuang said, "I won't give her the chance to gloat."

"Xiao Guo? Are you gloating?" Li Mu was speechless. "No wonder you're so unpopular in the dorm. You always keep to yourself. Who can stand your personality?"

Hearing Li Mu say that, Liang Shuang suddenly felt very unhappy and a little wronged: "What's wrong with my personality? Do you also think there's something wrong with me?"

Li Mu countered with, "What do you think? Do you think you have a good personality?"

Liang Shuang opened her mouth: "I..."

Thinking about his usual behavior and his attitude towards Jiang Xiaoguo and the others, he realized that it wasn't exactly good.

She glared at Li Mu and said, "Whether I have a good personality or not is none of your business."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Of course it's none of my business. I was just thinking of giving you a ride, but since you say so, I'll be going now. Goodbye."

Liang Shuang snorted, opened the car door, and got in.

"You think you can just leave after I've been scolded? Not so easy. Take me home..."

Li Mu glanced at her speechlessly. Who could tolerate such a bad temper? It seemed Chen Zhuo had it tough, enduring it for so long.

The car started and slowly drove towards the school. Looking at the bustling scene on both sides, Liang Shuang suddenly felt a longing. She wanted to find a place to have a good drink and get drunk.

He hesitated for a moment, then turned to look inside and whispered, "Could you have a drink with me?"

Li Mu refused outright, saying, "No, I need to drive."

Liang Shuang was furious; this was the first time she had been rejected when she invited someone for a drink.

"Hmph, those stinky men, not a single one of them is any good."

Li Mu said, "Isn't your criticism too broad? I kindly offered to take you home, and this is the kind of evaluation I get."

Liang Shuang said, "Did I say something wrong? You're not a good person either; you even cheated on me with Jiang Xiaoguo."

Li Mu said, "Yes, I'm not a good person. I cheated on Xiao Guo with him. But Xiao Guo doesn't care about this, so why are you so anxious?"

Liang Shuang retorted defiantly, "Xiao Guo is my roommate. You hurt her, so of course I have to speak up."

Li Mu laughed and said, "Just now you were looking disgusted, afraid she would laugh at you. How come you're suddenly acting all sisterly now? Are you and Xiao Guo really that close?"

Liang Shuang glared at him: "None of your business!"

Li Mu smiled, and the car quickly drove to the vicinity of South China University of Finance and Economics.

"get off!"

"You... Humph!" Liang Shuang glared at Li Mu and walked towards the school without looking back.

……

Over the next few days, Liang Shuang began dealing with her handbags and luxury goods, repaying the compensation, and finally managed to scrape together enough money. However, her already tight finances were now even more strained, and she found herself in an unusual financial predicament.
