Chapter 723: Thoughts That Can Never Change
As the sun set, Han Tao and his group finally left the police station and rushed to the hotel he had booked in advance.

After several people completed the check-in procedures, everyone prepared to go back to their rooms to rest and then eat.

They drove on the road early in the morning and then spent the whole day battling with that gang of people. They were really exhausted.

"Everyone, take your room cards. If you need anything, call the housekeeping department directly. All your expenses will be recorded on the room cards. We will settle the bill together after we leave.

By the way, this hotel's restaurant is pretty good. You guys can have dinner together. I have to hurry back home, so I won't accompany you."

Han Tao said this mainly to Guan Juer, Qiu Yingying and others, because Andy and Qu Xiaoxiao didn't need any instructions at all.

"Brother Han, thank you for taking us to such a nice hotel. I am both nervous and happy now!" Qiu Yingying said excitedly after getting the room card.

Qu Xiaoxiao, who was standing by, curled her lips before Han Tao responded, "What are you making a fuss about? There are many better hotels in Shanghai than this one. Don't say you're my friend when you go out. You can't afford to lose face."

"What's wrong? I like it. I'm happy to say it! Brother Han is so rich, but he always treats us very kindly, unlike you who always speaks in a sarcastic way!"

"You're itching for trouble, aren't you? You dare to talk back to me!" After saying that, Qu Xiaoxiao pretended to spank Qiu Yingying.

Guan Juer saw where the two of them were playing around, and pulled Fan Shengmei aside and said, "Actually, I've never stayed in such a nice hotel before. Sister Fan, why don't you have dinner with us before you leave!"

"Of course I have to eat with you all before I leave. I also want to toast you all and thank you for helping me today."

Fan Shengmei smiled and touched Guan Juer's hair, then turned to Han Tao and said, "By the way, Han Tao, thank you so much for what happened today!"

"Let's not be polite. Once you've dealt with your family affairs, you should go back and work hard.

Lutu Coffee is about to reach a critical moment. You all need to grow up quickly and be able to stand on your own feet as soon as possible.

I almost forgot, Xiaoqu, please take a look at this information. It’s about your brother, so I won’t go up with you.

If you have anything to do, call me. I’ll come over when I’m done with my work and take you around Nantong tomorrow.”

After saying that, Han Tao waved his hand and left the hotel, preparing to return to his grandparents.

.....................

At the same time, Liang Shan, the leader of the troublemaker, had already called his family, and his family also went to Fan Shengmei's house with money and a letter of understanding.

It just so happened that Fan Shengmei was not at home, and only Fan's mother Liu Meilan was at home. When she saw them coming, she was instinctively nervous and afraid.

Unexpectedly, the Liang family had a very good attitude this time. They brought a bunch of gifts and said with a humble and smiling face:

"Aunt, we were the ones who were sorry before, please be magnanimous and don't bother with my cousins.

I think you understand that your son beat someone up and ran away, and we are a little worried, so we have to disturb you."

"It's okay, it's okay, we understand!"

Liu Meilan was a little uncomfortable. The last time they met, this family beat her, scolded her, and demanded money. They just made a scene, and now they came to apologize with gifts.

"Thank you for your understanding. By the way, why can't I see Miss Fan?" The other party looked around and asked tentatively.

Before he came, he went to see his cousin Liangshan, who specifically told him that the most troublesome people in this family were her daughter and her group of friends.

Thinking about her son's matter and the phone call in the afternoon, Liu Meilan suddenly came up with an idea, "My children have gone home, and she has to go to work tomorrow.

But she told me before she left that if you come here, it will be the same conditions as before."

Liang Shan's cousin did not doubt him, and looked at the old lady and said, "Aunt, your son was the first to hit someone, otherwise we would not have troubled you.

Now you are asking for hundreds of thousands of dollars, but we really don't have it. Can we negotiate? If not, we will have to hold your son Fan Shengying hostage, and no one will have an easy time!"

Liu Meilan thought about it. One hundred thousand is not a small amount of money. Her son has run into new problems and will definitely need money. This is already beyond her expectations. She might as well quit while she is ahead.

"Then how do you say we should solve this problem? My old man is still in bed, and you guys have taken all the money from our family, and we still don't have a plan for future medical expenses!"

Liang Shan's cousin knew something was going to happen, so he tried to test him: "How about this? We won't pursue your son and will give you another 50,000 yuan. How about that?"

"Fifty thousand?" Liu Meilan exclaimed. She didn't expect such a good thing to happen.

"I know it's a little too little, but all our money has been used to pay for hospital bills. It's a maximum of 80,000, otherwise we'll break up."

Liang Shan's cousin thought that the old lady thought the amount was too little. He brought 100,000 yuan this time, so in order to solve the problem quickly, he quickly added 30,000 yuan.

The people behind him also cooperated, staring at Liu Meilan, which frightened her and reminded her of the previous experience of having her door blocked and her home smashed. She nodded with some fear.
"Eighty thousand is eighty thousand, then you won't cause trouble to my son again in the future!"

"Okay, just sign this letter of understanding and we promise not to look for your son anymore!"

Liang Shan's cousin immediately understood the old lady's plan. It seemed that she wanted to settle the matter for her son while her daughter was away.

For him, this is undoubtedly the best outcome. There is no essential difference whether the compensation is given to Fan Shengmei or her parents.

As long as the Fan family gets the money, signs a letter of guarantee and understanding, and no longer holds his cousin responsible, everything will be solved.

In order to avoid any further complications, they immediately took out 80,000 yuan in cash and asked Liu Meilan to sign and put her fingerprints on the document before leaving.

In the eyes of this group of people, compared with Fan Shengmei and her friends, Fan Shengying and his parents are much easier to talk to and deal with.

Liu Meilan was looking at the 80,000 yuan on the table, still a little bit unbelieving, when the phone at home rang again.

She originally thought it was her daughter Fan Shengmei calling, but unexpectedly it was Fan Shengying's friend on the other end, who called to say that because Fan Shengmei didn't care, Fan Shengying asked him to help find them.

When Liu Meilan heard the other party say that her son might really have to go to jail, but that the punishment could be reduced if he paid a fine, she immediately agreed and even asked the other party to come and collect the money the next morning.

Fan Shengmei, who was having dinner with her sisters, would never have thought that her mother had foolishly written a letter of apology and was going to use the compensation money given by the other party to save Fan Shengying.

In Liu Meilan's eyes, her brother Fan Shengying was much more filial than her, and Fan Shengying also gave birth to a grandson for the Fan family, continuing the family line. No matter how much she gave, it would be a loss.

Her mother never thought about her own life, because Liu Meilan felt that a daughter should help her son and take care of all the troubles in the family. As for where her future would go, she would not and did not want to think about it.

Because Liu Meilan felt that her daughter would always have friends around her to help her, but her son would only have himself.

She just needs to stick to her beliefs and go to her daughter when she has problems or needs money, because her daughter will help her solve problems no matter what.

Just like this time when they went to Shanghai, her daughter said she didn’t care, but they were lost, and Fan Shengmei was more anxious than anyone else.

Although the old man fell ill unexpectedly, his daughter Fan Shengmei also came back with her friends. Not only did she solve the trouble, but she also got back so much compensation.

So Liu Meilan felt that her idea was correct. Even if her daughter was dissatisfied with her brother and didn't want to care about him, she would eventually agree when she asked for help.

What she didn't know was that this action made her daughter Fan Shengmei completely understand, and really understand, that her repeated compromises and soft-heartedness were wrong.

If she doesn't make up her mind and cut off the mess at home, she will never be able to have a normal life.
