A lot of times, they still would not get paid even if they won.
At noon, Guo Xinli called Ling Yiran and asked her, "Um... Do you know where the actress Su Xi is? I... I want to see her."
"What seems to be the problem?" asked Ling Yiran.
"I just want to talk to her about Lil Li. Maybe she'll feel sorry for Lil Li. I’m not expecting her to admit that she was the driver, but maybe she’ll give Lil Li's family some money so that he can continue to get better treatment," said Guo Xinli. He just wanted to make one last effort.
After all, Lil Li was also an employee of his company. However, the company was in its start-up stage and there was very little they could do to help Lil Li's family.
Even though the company had donated money to Lil Li's family several times, it was still not enough in the face of the huge medical bills.
On the other hand, Su Xi was a famous actress. Some time ago, it was reported that the actress bought a new house worth 60 million dollars, so she should be able to pay for Lil Li's current medical expenses.
Ling Yiran hesitated. They did not have enough evidence so far. Even if the trial was held, there was no way for the judge to decide that Su Xi was the real culprit. Maybe they could only hope that Su Xi had some sympathy for Lil Li's suffering if they wanted to help Lil Li out.
"Alright, I'll bring you to her," said Ling Yiran. She had been keeping an eye on Su Xi, so she knew that Su Xi had been filming at the studio.
"Okay, then I'll drive over and pick you up," said Guo Xinli.
"Okay," replied Ling Yiran. After putting away the phone, she reorganized the papers.
When Guo Xinli arrived, Ling Yiran got into the car and they headed to the film studio.
Ling Yiran stepped forward and asked, "Miss Su, can I have a chat with you?"
Su Xi frowned and said impatiently, "You again?"
"Yes, the trial is starting soon, so I’m here to look for you again," said Ling Yiran before introducing Guo Xinli. "This is Lil Li's colleague. He wants to talk to you about something. Is that alright?"
"If you have something to say, be quick. I'm filming my scene soon," said Su Xi.
Guo Xinli told her briefly about Lil Li's condition in the hospital. "Miss Su, Lil Li's family can't afford the medical expenses anymore, but if we don't continue to use imported medicine, it will be more difficult to get Lil Li to wake up. He's only 25 years old. He's still young. Miss Su, could you help pay Lil Li's medical bills first? When they get the compensation or when the Li family has the money, they'll pay you back."
Su Xi's expression sank immediately, "What do you mean? You want me to pay? I wasn't the one who caused the accident. Why should I pay for it?"
