Chapter 172: 172 Fairness (Thanks for the tip! Vote for me monthly!)

As everyone knows, diamonds are the hardest substance in nature, but being hardest does not mean they are indestructible.

Diamonds are highly durable, yet they are also quite brittle, just like jade. Jade cannot be polished without diamond, yet it shatters upon impact.

The strength of a diamond has nothing to do with its resistance to being dropped.

For ordinary diamonds, such as those in people’s rings, because they are small in volume and usually set in mountings, they generally do not suffer any damage when dropped. However, the "Eye of Medusa" is different.

It is a completely exposed diamond rough, and due to its large size, when Shi Qianxi "accidentally" dropped it on the floor, it did not shatter, but a shocking fracture appeared on its surface.

It was like a famous painting that had carelessly been marked with a stroke; even if it was not completely ruined, its value had vanished!

Everyone’s heart skipped a beat.

Zheng Jingjing was so stunned, her mind went blank.

Just now, the young man had said that this blood diamond was worth over a hundred million!

A thing worth hundreds of millions, just destroyed like that?

"Oh my, how could you be so careless..."

Shi Qianxi, who had deliberately loosened her grip earlier, was now playing the victim, giving Li Shuru a reproachful look as she hurriedly stooped down to pick up the blood diamond, which just seconds before had been priceless, caressing the newly formed fracture with distress.

This impromptu act was a seamless flow of events, as smooth as drifting clouds and flowing water.

"It wasn’t me..."

Li Shuru, coming back to her senses, subconsciously wanted to defend herself, but at that moment her mind was in disarray, and her ability to organize her thoughts into words was severely impaired.

"Why didn’t you catch it properly?"

Shi Qianxi stood up, not giving her a chance to explain, and said anxiously, "Look, it’s fractured. This was Auntie’s most treasured collection, how are you going to explain this to Xi Yu!"

Li Shuru looked at the flawed blood diamond presented before her, at a loss for what to do.

The young men, who had witnessed the incident with utmost clarity, were awe-struck.

Seeing was indeed believing.

Even though they had long heard of the notorious Shi Witch, her ferocity still exceeded their expectations.

To think she would discard such a rare treasure so casually...

Despite her anxious and angry demeanor, they could easily see that the diamond’s fall was entirely her own doing.

Their families had not scolded them lightly for being wastrels.

However, compared to her, they were mere amateurs.

They could in no way afford to rile up this madwoman.

Amidst their shock, many of the young men made a silent decision.

"You shouldn’t make false accusations, okay! Shu Rui hadn’t gotten the chance to catch it, and you let go; you clearly did it on purpose!"

Zheng Jingjing regained her senses and quickly spoke up for justice.

This was a treasure worth hundreds of millions–if Shu Rui really took the blame for this, she would be finished!

"I did it on purpose? Haha, that’s an interesting claim. Tell me, why would I do such a thing? What good would it do me?"

Shi Qianxi sneered.

"You..."

Zheng Jingjing wanted to say it was because of jealousy, but she held back the words at the last moment.

"You did it on purpose, we all saw it!"

"We? Who else?"

Zheng Jingjing looked towards the young men present, and Shi Qianxi’s gaze slowly swept across their faces.

There was suffocating silence in the room; not a single person stepped forward to uphold justice.

"Heh heh."

Shi Qianxi smiled with satisfaction, retracting her gaze and staring at Zheng Jingjing, whose face had turned white with anger.

"Don’t accuse her falsely just because she’s your friend. Don’t call a deer a horse, or invert black and white."

Jiang Chen shook his head in the dark.

From her speech, she must have received a higher education, but why was her heart so malicious?

This was not just an ordinary frame-up.

The loss of over a hundred million.

If this dirty water were really splashed on Li Shuru’s head, it was no exaggeration to say that it could destroy her life.

"Enough!"

Sun Xiyu roared angrily, his face nearly ashen, "Have you had enough?!"

Even his patience had been driven to this extent; one could imagine just how terrible Shi Qianxi was.

"Me, making a fuss?"

At this moment, Shi Qianxi no longer pretended, dropping the demure little woman act, squinting her eyes, and coldly said, "You took something that belonged to me and gave it away, and now it’s ruined. And you say I’m making a fuss?"

Sun Xiyu, who must have never been as angry as he was today, clenched his fist, guessing that if it were a man, he might have really resorted to violence.

"Your thing? Shi Qianxi, do you think the whole world belongs to your family? That was clearly my mother’s collection!"

"Heh, now you’re finally willing to admit it."

Shi Qianxi seemed to have been waiting for these words, without a trace of shame, her lips curling up, "Since you’ve said it, it belongs to auntie, then let’s let auntie deal with it."

"What are you trying to do?"

Seeing her take something out of her Chanel shoulder bag, Sun Xiyu’s face changed.

Shi Qianxi, as if hearing nothing, took out a mobile phone from the limited-edition bag that could drive most women crazy.

Seeing this, Sun Xiyu could no longer control himself, quickly stepped forward, and grabbed Shi Qianxi’s wrist.

"Have you lost your mind?!"

"The diamond is ruined, this matter must be settled."

Shi Qianxi narrowed her eyes slightly and met Sun Xiyu’s gaze without struggling but said indifferently, "Let go."

Sun Xiyu stared at her fiercely.

Shi Qianxi remained unflustered, her smile arrogant and noble.

"What? For the sake of a woman, are you actually thinking of laying a hand on me?"

"That’s not what I meant."

"If that’s the case, then let go."

Shi Qianxi demanded again.

Under her intimidating gaze, Sun Xiyu, seeming wary of something, clearly unwilling, but in the end, slowly loosened his grip.

Shi Qianxi’s lips curled up even more arrogantly, and under everyone’s watchful eyes, she made a phone call without any hurry, while simultaneously changing her tone completely, pulling off a dramatic face change as if in a Sichuan opera.

"Auntie, I’m at Chuang Liu Bu Xi, you come quickly. Xi Yu wants to give away the blood diamond from your collection. I stopped him, and he even wanted to hit someone..."

Watching the vivid Shi Qianxi, Zhong Yongfeng and those young masters like Hu Zi twitched the corners of their eyes, and when they looked towards Sun Xiyu, their gazes were filled with mourning and sympathy.

To be entangled with such a granny, truly a misfortune across three lifetimes.

The color of Sun Xiyu’s face at this time had gone from ashen to almost black, but he seemed to be completely at a loss, watching her finish the call with his mother,

"Auntie said she will be here soon."

Shi Qianxi put down the phone, holding it in her hand, proudly tilting her sharp chin up.

"There will always be someone to enforce justice."

The private room fell silent.

Glancing at Sun Xiyu, whose expression was constantly changing, Jiang Chen at this moment truly felt a bit of pity for this privileged young master.

As the saying goes, only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches.

It seemed that the life of the wealthy wasn’t as leisurely and joyous as one might imagine.
