Five years after their breakup, a prominent lawyer is desperately seeking reconciliation.

In a high-end single ward at Haicheng City Hospital.

Shen Qing lay half-reclined on the hospital bed, his eyes sunken and his appearance withered, staring blankly out the window.

On the other side, a man and a woman in their fifties were picking through a pile of gifts.

On the sofa next to them, a boy in his early twenties was lying down.

He was playing a game on his phone, occasionally uttering a few swear words.

"Wasn't the Lu family supposed to be the richest? Why are they being so stingy, only giving us fruit supplements and not paying for them?"

Shen's mother rushed to the bedside, lifted the blanket and searched everywhere, but still found nothing.

"That won't do. Let me tell you, the person was at their home. The incident happened because of work, so he has to pay double the compensation, both professionally and personally. Otherwise, we'll go to the media and sue him."

Mr. Shen picked up a piece of purplish-red fruit he had never eaten before, wiped it casually on his clothes, and took a bite.

The hardness and sourness of the taste made him frown, and he spat it out on the ground.

"What the hell? Damn it, they're taking rotten fruit from us! They're really not taking us seriously."

The boy playing video games glanced at him and burst out laughing.

"Dad, you're such a country bumpkin. This is a mangosteen; you have to peel it before you eat it."

Shen's mother proudly patted her son's head.

"My Guangzong is so knowledgeable, he even recognizes this. When your sister's company loses money, Mom will send you abroad to broaden your horizons."

Shen Qing's younger brother immediately straightened up and asked excitedly.

"Mom, are you serious? I dream of going abroad. There are good job opportunities abroad, and you can make money even with your eyes closed. Then I'll bring you and Dad over to enjoy a comfortable life."

The wrinkles on Shen's mother's face were squeezed together with laughter.

It seems as if they have truly lived a life where they have no worries about food or drink, and are waited on hand and foot.

Shen Qing turned her head, looked at the carpet they had smeared all over the floor, and snorted coldly in disgust.

"You didn't even graduate from vocational school, you can count the number of English words on your fingers, and you can't even afford to pay full price for a takeout meal. What are you daydreaming about?"

Shen Qing's younger brother's ears turned red instantly. He took a deep breath, and his voice became unusually stern due to his rage.

"It's all because you're incompetent. You said you found a super rich boyfriend, but he just slept with you and played around with you. You can't even swipe a single card to make money."

"Now that you've lost your child, your boyfriend won't even come to see you. Shen Qing, don't look down on this or that. If you were really capable, you would have been a wealthy lady long ago, and your whole family would be living a good life."

Shen Qing was furious: "Get out of here!"

Shen's mother stood in front of her son, saying, "Why should we leave? We haven't received the compensation yet! By the way, where's that rich boyfriend you mentioned? Call him quickly and tell him we've arrived in Haicheng. Ask him to receive us."

Looking at these three people who were called "family," Shen Qing couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.

She had just lost her child, and due to a lack of timely medical treatment, she completely lost her right to be a mother.

Instead of offering comfort, their relatives kept asking for money.

The atmosphere inside was tense, when someone knocked on the door.

Mr. Shen, who was closest to the door, impatiently opened it.

"What kind of worthless junk are you bringing again?"

Outside the door stood a middle-aged man and woman dressed in exquisite and luxurious clothes, clearly wealthy and noble.

"Who...are you looking for?"

Yu Qing turned her head slightly, and the driver behind her immediately handed over the gift.

"This is a small token of our appreciation from Chairman Lu and his wife, who came to visit their employees."

Mr. Shen took it in a daze, and when he looked up, he saw that it was a stack of bright red bills.

"Are you Shen Qing's father? We're here on behalf of the company to visit Shen Qing. Could we speak with her privately?"

Mr. Shen quickly pulled his wife and son away, leaving the ward to the three of them.

Shen Qing's gaze was fixed solely on Lu Guokun.

Yu Qing lowered her eyes, concealing the hatred within them.

"Secretary Shen, Mr. Lu and I have come to see you to discuss compensation."

Lu Guokun stood beside Yu Qing with his eyes downcast, not saying a word.

Shen Qing felt wronged and tears streamed down her face. She wanted to throw herself into his arms and cry her heart out, hoping he would avenge her.

But she still doesn't know how all of this happened.

She was about to leave for America, and she could have stepped into high society with one foot in the door after giving birth.

But all of this shattered in an instant.

"Secretary Shen, don't worry. The company has reported your work injury to the authorities and will also provide you with an additional humanitarian compensation of 20 yuan."

Before coming in, she had already consulted with Shen Qing's attending physician to learn about her specific situation.

The baby was lost, and due to excessive bleeding that endangered her life, Shen Qing also had her uterus removed.

I will never have my own children again.

In a sense, she's already ruined.

Giving away 20 yuan isn't a loss.

Shen Qing looked away from Lu Guokun and gave a wry smile, offering only insincere pleasantries.

"The HR department and logistics department have already come to see me. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu. Please take the compensation back."

The door was suddenly pushed open, and Mr. Shen rushed in with a gloomy face.

Behind them followed Shen's mother and younger brother Shen Qing, both looking very anxious.

"Why shouldn't you pay compensation? You're a complete idiot. You died in his house, so he has to take responsibility."

Mr. Shen threw the 20 yuan in his hand on the ground.

"That was a life, and half of my daughter's life. Less than..."

He turned his head slightly and saw his son holding up one finger.

"One million! Less than one million? Absolutely not! We'll sue you in the media."

Yu Qing's smile turned cold; the Shen family was really asking for an exorbitant amount.

"I don't want 100 million, Mr. Lu, don't listen to their nonsense."

They really dare to ask for 100 million?

The house she found for her younger brother just happened to be priced at 100 million, right? She definitely wouldn't keep a single penny for herself.

Besides, if she takes this million, she will be completely unable to return to the Lu family.

Once you leave Lu Guokun, you'll never have another chance.

Only by staying by his side can we slowly figure out a solution.

"You worthless piece of trash, say it again, do you want it or not?"

Shen Qing stiffened her neck: "No!"

"You've gone too far!"

With a loud shout, Shen's father took off his slippers and smashed them over Shen Qing's head.

"I'll beat you to death, you beast! Your brother hasn't bought a house yet, and he's not married. If you don't take this opportunity to ask for some money, what are you going to do with the whole family?"

Yu Qing pulled Lu Guokun back a few steps to avoid accidental injury.

The ward was a mess.

Shen's younger brother looked at the 20 yuan on the ground and gritted his teeth.

"Is all 20 for me?"

Yu Qing corrected him: "It's for Shen Qing."

Shen Qing's younger brother curled his lips in disdain: "Isn't that mine?"

Then, as he picked up the bag and was about to leave, Yu Qing stopped him again.

"Give me a receipt, and everything will be clear."

After leaving the hospital, Yu Qing remembered another thing she needed to do.

The initial surge of joy vanished without a trace.

Jiang Wan, this woman seems more difficult to deal with than she did five years ago.

But she wasn't afraid; everyone has weaknesses.

After Lu Guokun went to Lu's company and saw him off, Yu Qing returned to her car, took out her phone, and made a call.

"Sweetie, I'm coming to find you."
