Chapter V: Compensation Negotiations

In the next few days, Liu Yan went to and from class on time, practiced the piano, reviewed and prepared for the exam, and tried to integrate into her new role, without letting anyone see the difference in her, even Zhang Pei didn't realize that her daughter had changed people.

The weekend was fast approaching, and after lawyer Sun's mediation, Zhang Pei and Liu Yan prepared to meet the relatives of the courier who was hit and killed. In the past few days, Liu Chengyu has been held in a detention center, and no one can see him except his lawyer. Zhang Pei has not yet told other relatives about this incident, first, Liu Chengyu's parents in his hometown are too old, and she does not want to alarm them; second, Zhang Pei has a good face and does not want her relatives and friends to see their jokes.

They set a meeting place in a private room in a Chinese restaurant.

Liu Yan's mother and daughter brought 100,000 yuan, and Lawyer Sun arrived first.

Lawyer Sun's name is Sun Yiyi, he is Zhang Pei's high school classmate, is a senior lawyer, very well-known in the industry, he has a good relationship with Zhang Pei and his wife, and the two used to move around a lot.

Before the other party arrived, Lawyer Sun told Zhang Pei some precautions for negotiation.

Liu Yan looked at him quietly, and in her memory, Lawyer Sun's family did not want to see her. Mr. Sun and his wife are both top students, and they both work in the judicial system.

They have an only daughter named Sun Weiwei, who is as old as her and is also a top student, who is now studying at Capital University. Because the two families are close, in primary and middle schools, Liu Yan has always been classmates with Sun Weiwei. But Sun Weiwei crushed her in IQ, especially every time the test results came out, she would inevitably be compared by Sun Weiwei, and her heart was unbalanced.

However, Sun Weiwei's appearance is average, and this is the only thing that makes Liu Yan feel gratified. In a final math exam in junior high school, Sun Weiwei got a perfect score, Liu Yan failed, and the angry Liu Yan said to Sun Weiwei, "You look so ugly, what about good grades?"

Liu Yan's words seriously hurt Sun Weiwei's self-esteem, Sun Weiwei held back his tears, and only cried when he got home, and he cried loudly in front of his mother.

Since then, Mr. Sun's family has been moving around with them less often. In high school, Liu Yan's grades were so poor that she had to transfer to an art class to become an art student, and she and Sun Weiwei no longer intersected.

Now seeing that Lawyer Sun is doing his best to help their family, she feels ashamed for the former Liu Yan, who repays grievances with virtue and does not care about a little girl who has no brains.

The courier who was killed in the collision was named Wang Chunhua, 29 years old this year, and had three children, the eldest daughter was 7 years old, the second daughter was 5 years old, and the youngest son was only 2 years old. His wife is unemployed, his parents are farmers, and he has a brother and a sister under him, and the family situation is really complicated.

The wife and mother and younger brother of Wang Chunhua came to meet Zhang Pei's mother and daughter, and after Wang Chunhua's death, his relatives rushed to the capital from their hometown.

When the Wang family arrived, the atmosphere was quite awkward.

Wang Chunhua's wife's eyes have always been red, I don't know if she has cried or is angry, she stared at Zhang Pei fiercely, as if Zhang Pei was an accomplice in her husband's death.

Zhang Pei apologized right on the side of his mouth, and he swallowed this look.

Before they could speak, Wang Chunhua's mother suddenly shouted at Zhang Pei, "My son died so miserably, you killed him." ”

She clapped her hands on her chest, her face was sad, and she howled dryly, Zhang Pei was swept by her hateful gaze, and she was so frightened that she took a small step back.

Liu Yan was very calm, and she was not frightened by this situation at all. She has seen too many women in the cold palace who want to die or live, crying and shouting, and her nerves are numb, but she is not afraid.

"At this point, you have to believe that the law will give your family a fair trial," lawyer Sun reconciled, "They don't want such a thing to happen, and they invite you to come over today to find a way to make up for their mistakes." ”

Lawyer Sun gave Zhang Pei a look, and Zhang Pei hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, we feel sorry for the wrong things my husband has done, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry for you." ”

Liu Yan followed Zhang Pei and bent down to them. This apology is sincere, after all, the other party lost his life.

"Is it useful to apologize, can my brother come back after apologizing?" Wang Zhihua said angrily, he looked about the same age as Liu Yan, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

Somehow this stimulated Mrs. Wang, she cried again, "My eldest son has been so hard in his life, in order to let his younger siblings study, he went out to work before he finished studying, a few years ago, in order to treat my old man's illness, he worked hard, and finally got his daughter-in-law, and his life was better, but he was killed by your family." ”

Mrs. Wang's shrill cry made Liu Yan's eyelids jump.

Zhang Pei looked at Lawyer Sun at a loss, she didn't know how to deal with these people at all.

Lawyer Sun sighed in his heart, the negotiation had not yet begun, Zhang Pei had been led by the other party, and the scene had been completely controlled by the other party.

He has known Zhang Pei for almost 30 years, he knows Zhang Pei's weak temperament very well, she is used to relying on her husband, she is timid and afraid of things, and has no opinions. Liu Yan's personality has also inherited from her mother, who is not only weak, but also arrogant, and it is difficult to become a big man. The mother and daughter have no backbone, and the matter still has to be solved by him.

Lawyer Sun said, "Although the driver committed a drunk driving crime, your son is not completely unresponsible. ”

Liu Yan didn't know what the whole thing had happened before, so she listened intently.

Mr. Sun continued, "My client was driving neither speeding nor violating other traffic rules except drunk driving, but the victim was riding an electric car too fast and crashing into it in the wrong direction. According to the inspection report of the traffic police force, he also stepped on the brakes in time at the time of the incident. ”

Wang Zhihua interrupted Lawyer Sun's words and said sharply, "Nonsense, the traffic police have issued a letter of responsibility, and you have to be held responsible." ”

"That's because drunk driving is now strictly enforced, and the client happened to hit the muzzle of the gun," Lawyer Sun's tone was decisive and capable, "I and the mother and daughter next to me invited you over today and didn't want to quarrel with you, we are here to solve the problem, we all know very well how this accident happened, the party did not see death and did not save him, and he also did his duty to send the victim to the hospital." Now that the victim has passed away, the person concerned and his family are very remorseful, so they want to do their best to compensate you. ”

"So, how much are you going to compensate?" The opposing lawyer, who had not spoken, suddenly asked, and he also stopped the Wang family who wanted to continue arguing with Liu Yan's mother and daughter, and was not suppressed by Lawyer Sun's momentum.

His name is Zhao Feng, and he is the defense lawyer for Wang Chunhua's family. Zhao Feng is a very young lawyer, who looks like he has just graduated from college, but his eyes are very shrewd, and since he entered the private room, his eyes behind the metal glasses have been constantly looking at Zhang Pei and Liu Yan, as if he is measuring their value.

For some reason, Liu Yan especially hated his eyes.
