"Doctor Zhao, why are you here?"

Zhu Liangjun lay on the bed, speaking weakly.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just heard you were discharged, so I came to check on you."

"By the way, how come you're here all alone? Is no one taking care of you?"

Zhao Tienan laughed and asked casually.

"Originally, my mom was taking care of me, but she had something to do and went out for a bit."

Zhu Liangjun was a bit puzzled.

After all, he had no real interactions with Zhao Tienan, not even exchanging greetings when they met.

And today, Zhao Tienan's sudden visit felt very abrupt.

As the saying goes, unexpected courtesy often hides ulterior motives.

Zhu Liangjun was no fool, and he became alert immediately.

"Oh, I see."

"By the way, I prepared some medicine at the clinic to help restore your energy and blood. When you get a chance, have your mom pick it up."

"Although it can't make you completely recover, it will help you get out of bed sooner."

Zhao Tienan said sincerely.

"Thank you, Doctor Zhao."

"Let's get straight to the point. We're both grown men; there's no need to beat around the bush."

Zhu Liangjun nodded, his voice still sounded weak, and his face looked as pale as paper, frighteningly pale.

It seems that the Small Facing Heaven Pepper's stab was quite ruthless...

"Ahem."

"Actually, I'm here on behalf of Xu Dapeng, to discuss whether there's a possibility of settling this privately."

Zhao Tienan coughed lightly, then stated the purpose of his visit.

A private settlement would be preferable.

If not, at least he could gauge Zhu Liangjun's thoughts.

"Impossible!"

"Doctor Zhao, if you were crippled while still young and the only child in the family, and lost the ability to carry on the family line, would you choose to settle privately?"

Furious, Zhu Liangjun's chest heaved violently, looking like a vengeful ghost, his determination unshakable.

"That's not the way to look at it!"

"Even if you send Xu Wenjing to jail, you won't gain anything practical."

"Calculate it carefully. At best, it's just to vent your anger. Is it really worth it?"

Zhao Tienan coaxed persuasively.

"As a man, living is about pride. I don't care for the small amount they offer in settlement; I want to ruin Xu Wenjing's life as well, or else nothing will taste good to me."

Zhu Liangjun said resolutely, leaving no room for compromise.

"You have a point, but have you thought about your mom?"

"You've ended up like this. In the future, you won't be able to do heavy work. Do you think your mom can support the family alone and take care of you for life?"

Zhao Tienan continued to press, leading Zhu Liangjun to consider a settlement.

"Doctor Zhao, stop going on and on here. You're just a mouthpiece for the Xu Family, aren't you?"

"No matter how eloquent you are today, I won't agree to a settlement. After all, I'm in the right; what should I be afraid of?"

Zhu Liangjun showed no sign of yielding and maintained an adamant attitude.

"Zhu Liangjun, don't forget that you were the one who played with Xu Wenjing's feelings first. If you hadn't strung her along and kept her as a backup, would she have retaliated?"

"You made mistakes too, so why not give her a chance?"

Zhao Tienan lost his patience as well and showed no pleasantries towards the scoundrel before him.
