Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 271: Qin Kaize Suspected of Falsifying Injuries for Compensation
"Our sister-in-law is really beautiful!"
"Boss, didn’t expect you’d get married so quickly."
When Qin Kaize arrived with Su Yijia, his former team members were genuinely amazed and impressed.
"Fortune out of disaster. When you find someone you like, you just get married," Qin Kaize said, patting Su Yijia’s hand with his large palm, substituting ordinary water for alcohol.
The team members were eager to say more, but some topics were best left unsaid. They could only look at Gao Huabin with envy.
"You’re lucky, being able to stay with the boss even after transferring out."
"Of course, I’m fortunate!" Gao Huabin said, unashamedly boasting.
When they reached Xia Weiguo’s table, a leader in his early forties suddenly said, "Qin, you’re drinking water? That’s not very sincere."
"I’m still on medication. I can’t drink alcohol until my treatment is over," Qin Kaize replied calmly.
But the leader frowned and continued to persuade, "It’s just today. It won’t have a big impact. We all drink alcohol for work."
"Then why don’t you switch your alcohol to water, so if something goes wrong at work, it won’t be my husband’s fault," Su Yijia retorted directly.
The leader’s face darkened, and he was about to get angry when Xia Weiguo sternly admonished, "What kind of attitude is this? Pressuring someone still recovering to drink? Is this how we train people in the team?"
The scolded leader stiffened and finally put down his cup. Although Xia Weiguo had taken away the leader’s face, he didn’t mind.
He hadn’t intended to invite this person, but he insisted on coming and then caused trouble. It was truly annoying.
The others nearby could only laugh and smooth things over.
"Qin, when will you finish your treatment? Once you’re done, you’ll be back in the team, right? We see you’re recovering well."
"It’ll take more than two months to finish. We’ll see how my body recovers then," Qin Kaize did not give a definite answer.
He still wasn’t sure whether he should return. More than anything, he didn’t want to be apart from his little wife.
"Didn’t you say your body was poisoned and paralyzed? How come you’re up and walking freely after just three months? And I heard you accomplished something during these three months. Are you deliberately exaggerating your injuries?" Xin Simeng suddenly interjected with a sneer.
The atmosphere, which had just become relaxed, turned stiff again.
Qin Kaize glanced at her with a cold and indifferent expression. "Are you trying to investigate what I did during these three months?"
Xin Simeng’s smile froze instantly. She had been in the team for many years and knew what was appropriate to ask and what wasn’t.
Qin Kaize was not one to speak lightly; he was just having a casual chat but was pushing people into a corner. No wonder her husband didn’t like him.
Without hearing her husband step in to mediate, Xin Simeng felt supported and continued with a sarcastic tone, "I just think that if Qin’s injury wasn’t that severe, there’s no need for such a large compensation, right?"
Three thousand yuan!
Their small courtyard in the city, right by the street, cost just over a thousand.
Three thousand yuan plus a bit more could buy three small courtyards in the city.
Su Yijia, hearing this, narrowed her eyes and smiled gently, "Since Auntie mentioned it, I almost forgot something. Uncle Xia, Kaize spent a lot on his treatment.
Aside from the consultation fees, the medication alone cost over ten thousand. This is all documented. Will the team reimburse this?"
"Generally, there will be reimbursement, but since the amount is quite large, it needs to be applied for again," Xia Weiguo said after a moment of thought.
He hadn’t considered the consultation fees as Jiajia had been handling these matters, and he felt quite guilty about not thinking of the reimbursement for the medication.
But with so many people around, he couldn’t make a direct decision. However, no matter what, he would ensure the reimbursement was handled.
"Regardless of whether it gets reimbursed or how much, this needs to be reported to the higher-ups. Otherwise, it will become even more complicated over time. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Otherwise, someone might end up thinking our Kaize is pretending to be sick to gain money, and we’d be unable to clear our name no matter what, and it would disappoint everyone," Su Yijia said with a cold, sarcastic smile.
The money wasn’t the main issue; she believed that if reimbursement was possible, Uncle Xia would certainly try to cover as much as possible.
But if it weren’t for Auntie bringing it up today, others with ulterior motives might exploit this issue in the future.
After all, the documents were all paper-based, and those poisonous insects bought in Xinghua Village also needed to be registered officially soon.
Xin Simeng hadn’t anticipated that her attempt to cause trouble would backfire and increase Qin Kaize’s family’s income by more than ten thousand.
Her eyes turned red with anger.
But if she cried, she would lose all face.
Xin Simeng could only grit her teeth and endure.
Xu Lizhi shot her an annoyed glance before apologizing to Xia Weiguo with a forced smile, "Sorry, my wife often speaks without thinking. Please don’t take it to heart."
"Her lack of thought shows what she truly thinks. How does she know that my Kaize’s compensation is three thousand? Did you tell her?
Then why does she now think Kaize’s compensation is excessive and suspect it’s a ploy to gain money? Could it be that you also have such suspicions at home?" Su Yijia tilted her head and questioned sharply.
"I didn’t! How would I know what she’s thinking! She’s just a woman, so petty. How could I talk about such things with her?" Xu Lizhi hurriedly denied, fearing that this issue might involve him.
But Su Yijia’s disdain only deepened.
"If you don’t tell her, how would she know about the three thousand yuan? If you don’t say the amount is high, how would she know the compensation for transfer might not be this amount?"
"Smack!"
A resounding slap cut off her words.
