She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

I know what Youhe meant. He wanted to say that there was no need to handle this matter in this way. We are not the primary person in charge, and even if we take responsibility, it is only partial responsibility. But I actually promised the whole thing.

Not only did they agree on a specific amount of compensation for each family, they also comforted the family members and even helped them contact the funeral home and arrange a funeral team.

I really didn't need to do these.

But I sat in the car, looking at the rising sun outside the window, and after a while I whispered, "Youhe, you and I have both experienced the pain of losing our loved ones, right?"

I just said this and Yu He fell silent.

The air in the carriage was quiet, and we all looked at the early sun in silence. The atmosphere was dull and sad.

Yes, I am not the only one who has tasted the pain of losing a loved one, Yuhe has also tasted it.

This is also an important reason why we are on the same path.

Losing a loved one is extremely painful and can even make us lose the desire to live.

Because I have experienced it myself, I can understand the families of the dead or injured workers. Life was already very difficult for these people, and the loved ones they lost might even have been the pillars of their families. Not only do they have to endure pain, but they also have to worry about their future lives. That is why these people would work so hard, carrying the bodies of their loved ones everywhere to seek justice.

Chinese people have the custom of burying the dead. Who would have the heart to do so unless they are forced to do so?

So I also understand their excitement and anger.

"Also, although my uncle was deceived in this matter, he did sign the contract and held an important position in this project. There are some responsibilities he cannot escape, and we cannot avoid them." I continued to speak softly in the silence.

You He took a deep breath and whispered to me, "But Xuxu, this is not a small amount of money. Where did you get so much money? You also promised them that the money would be in the account within a week. What if you can't take out the money by then and they come to your company and make trouble?"

"I'll find a way to raise the money." I said firmly.

I thought about it. I still have a car and shares in the company that I can mortgage. I should be able to get the money together in a week.

Youhe paused for a moment, then immediately took out his wallet and pulled out a blue bank card and gave it to me: "Here you go, it's just that the amount of money is not much, don't despise it."

I was stunned, and then I immediately pushed the card back: "No, this is your old capital, I can't have it!"

That was all of Youhe's savings. Even though he and I were friends, I couldn't take his money.

"Xuxu, just satisfy my desire to help my friend. You know, money is useless to me. I'm alone and I don't need any money at all. Besides, I think I am also responsible for Uncle Jiao's matter." But Youhe insisted on giving it to me, his tone filled with guilt and sincerity.

I looked him in the eyes and finally accepted the card: "Thank you, Yuhe, I will pay you back the money soon."

"Do we still need to say the word 'repay' between you and me? Xuxu, are you being too distant with me?" You He finally smiled a little, but he was still worried about me. "But what are you going to do with the remaining money?"

"I have a way, don't worry." I can't let Youhe take on more responsibility for me.

I thought of another thing, frowned, and whispered, "By the way, Youhe, I want to ask you to help me check someone."

"Who?" You He asked immediately.

I pulled a notebook out of my bag and handed him a man's name and ID number.

After finishing all these, Youhe took his uncle away. Instead of returning to the hospital, he went directly back to his uncle's residence.

Before leaving, I specifically told my uncle not to go to work during this period, to have a good rest at home, not to have much contact with others, and to pay more attention to safety issues.

After a night of tossing and turning, my uncle looked particularly haggard. He said with a guilty look on his face: "Xu Xu, I, I am so terrible. I have caused so much trouble to everyone."

"We are a family, let's not talk about this and go back and have some rest." I didn't tell him about the compensation because I didn't want to put pressure on him.

I reminded him again: "If your aunt calls, you have to answer the phone, but you must be careful not to let her notice anything unusual."

I never let my aunt know about these things from the beginning to the end, because I didn't want to make her worry, and I didn't want my daughter to be troubled.

My uncle looked solemn and nodded seriously: "Okay, I, I remember everything!"

After giving the instructions, I drove back to my home. I was exhausted that night.

However, before going to bed, I still called Wu Ling: "Sister, are you awake? I have something to tell you."

"I just got up and I'm having breakfast. Xuxu, have you eaten? Do you want to join us?" On the other end of the phone, Wu Ling invited me to have breakfast together.

I smiled and my stomach growled, as if the aroma of the breakfast she made had already passed through the telephone line and flowed into my nose.

I was indeed hungry, and last night's meal was all consumed by the tossing and turning of the night, but I really didn't have the energy to run over and share breakfast with her.

"I really want to go, but I'm not having a good time today, so I can't go." I said with a smile, "By the way, sister, I met Assistant Zeng in the parking lot of Shiweiju last night. He stopped me and tried every means to ask me about you."

As soon as I said this, Wu Ling, who was laughing heartily on the other end of the phone, immediately fell silent.

I couldn't even hear the sound of breathing, and for a moment, I thought I had accidentally touched the screen and hung up the phone.

"Sister? Are you still listening?" I asked again softly.

There was finally movement on the other end of the line, and Wu Ling's voice was obviously trembling: "Is he... okay?"

"He's not feeling well. He looks obviously thinner than before, has dark circles under his eyes, and looks haggard. I guess he hasn't slept well during this period. But he's still worried about your health." I answered truthfully.

When I saw Zeng Zhi in the parking lot last night, although the light was dim, I could still tell that he looked not well.

But before I finished speaking, Wu Ling interrupted me: "Stop talking nonsense, I don't want to listen anymore. He and I have broken up. Whether he is okay or not has nothing to do with me. I don't care..."

She said this more to herself than to me. I knew she was trying to tell herself that she should break up with Zeng Zhi, that she had let it go, and so she shouldn't care whether Zeng Zhi was okay or not.

In her heart, she clearly couldn't let go...

I just listened to Wu Ling in silence. At this moment, another voice came from the microphone: "Who are you talking to? That little puppy you talked to before? You haven't let him go yet, Wu Damei?"
