Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Jia s.h.i.+yun saw Su Bei, she couldn’t help but feel a strong sense of compet.i.tiveness. In the past few years, she had been living like a princess. Even in front of the top actors and actresses, as well as those in power, she rarely felt this way.
Su Bei made her feel immense pressure.
In front of everyone, Jia s.h.i.+yun naturally wouldn’t force Su Bei. She smiled and said, “Su Bei, so it turns out this is your friend. I’m also responsible for this matter. However, this jade necklace does mean a lot to me, so…”
When the onlookers heard that Jia s.h.i.+yun was being generous and her temperament was also very elegant, they said, “If you damage something, you’ll have to compensate. That person is Su Bei’s friend. She can’t be excluded from this principle just because of that, right?”
Tian Jinnuo chimed in, “This is indeed a principle that has existed since ancient times. Mistakes must be compensated. Miss, s.h.i.+yun’s necklace is worth about two million yuan. Although the price isn’t considered high, this jade is extremely valuable. Moreover, it means a lot to s.h.i.+yun. We don’t need you to compensate us with so much money. Just buy a jade of similar quality and give it to s.h.i.+yun. You don’t have to compensate for the necklace. We’re not being unreasonable, right?”
Two million!
It was just a piece of jade the size of a finger.
Everyone was speechless. However, many people knew that Jia s.h.i.+yun’s jade was indeed a gift from the company. Furthermore, she had been wearing it all along, so many people expressed their understanding.
“If my valuables are damaged, I would want someone to pay for it. I think that’s right.”
“Miss, you’d better watch where you’re going next time. Anyway, it’s reasonable to pay compensation after damaging things.”
Lin Moli’s face flushed red. To her, this amount of money was simply too much. She was just an ordinary person. Even if she sold herself, she might not be able to afford it.
She really regretted walking too fast just now…
Su Bei gently tugged on her sleeve and said, “Don’t panic. Leave it to me.”
Although she said that, Lin Moli still panicked. She knew that Su Bei was loyal, but no matter how loyal she was, she could not spend Su Bei’s money.
Su Bei stepped out and said, “I wonder which piece of jade you have your eyes on, Miss Jia?”
Jia s.h.i.+yun was actually very angry in her heart. Even if she were to get a jade that cost tens of millions of yuan, she still felt that it wouldn’t match this jade of hers. No matter what, it couldn’t compare to hers!
However, in front of so many people, she had to maintain her good image. She said, “I just happened to take a fancy to a piece of jade that costs one million. I know it’s not easy for others and I’m partly responsible for what happened earlier as well. There’s no need for her to compensate me with two million, and there’s no need for her to compensate for the necklace either. Just buy me this jade that costs one million.”
She spoke quite generously as if she had given Lin Moli a huge advantage. She was taking advantage of Lin Moli, yet she still pretended to be obedient.
Although everyone felt that one million was very expensive and ordinary people couldn’t afford it, seeing that Moli was Su Bei’s friend, they knew that she might have relations to the entertainment industry. Anyway, for people in the entertainment industry, this bit of money shouldn’t be a problem, right?
Hence, everyone spoke up for Jia s.h.i.+yun. “Jia s.h.i.+yun is really magnanimous. The rumors are indeed true.”
“A person like her really deserves to be popular. Just based on her att.i.tude in resolving a problem, I think she deserves to be more popular than others.”
“Of course. If it were my beloved item that was damaged, I might even have the urge to kill someone!”
