Chapter 174: 174 Do you have a receipt?

"Auntie, over here!"

As soon as Feng Chengcheng’s voice fell, Shi Qianqian handed over the blood diamond she had been holding like presenting a treasure, her face filled with remorse, "It’s all my fault, if I had come sooner, perhaps this wouldn’t have..."

Zhong Yongfeng and the others couldn’t even bear to watch, either looking down or looking elsewhere.

Truly shameless.

Feng Chengcheng received the blood diamond she had personally bid for at an international auction and immediately noticed the crack on its surface, her brows uncontrollably furrowing.

It was obvious.

The destruction of such a precious jewel pained her greatly.

"Mom, it’s my fault. If you want to blame someone, blame me," Sun Xiyu swiftly spoke up, adopting an attitude of admitting guilt and accepting punishment.

Feng Chengcheng looked up, glared at him fiercely, but said nothing.

"Auntie, the blame should not entirely be placed on Xi Yu. After all, he wasn’t the one who dropped it," Shi Qianqian could see Sun Xiyu trying to take all the blame and immediately started to fan the flames.

"What exactly happened?"

"Auntie, you should ask that girl."

Shi Qianqian shot Li Shuru a look.

"Don’t twist the truth, it was clearly you who dropped the diamond. Don’t frame an innocent person!"

Zheng Jingjing was filled with righteous indignation.

"I dropped it? But it’s my own thing, why would I drop it?"

"You... you’re just jealous!"

Zheng Jingjing finally couldn’t hold back, saying bluntly, "You’re jealous that Sun Xiyu took out the diamond to give to someone else, not to you. If you can’t have it, you want to destroy it!"

At that moment, she didn’t care about maintaining the image of a noble lady from a wealthy family.

All she knew was that Shu Rui couldn’t and shouldn’t bear this false accusation!

Shi Qianqian’s eyes flickered with the shame of being called out, but she laughed it off with a sneer, remaining calm and composed.

"You speak so eloquently, but facts are facts, and the fact is you didn’t catch it. A life for a life, debt for payment, you broke it, so you must compensate," she said.

"You’re despicable!"

Zheng Jingjing, angry, raised her hand.

"I’d advise you to watch your mouth," Shi Qianqian said, her eyes icy.

"What exactly happened?"

Feng Chengcheng frowned deeply, turning to her son.

"You brought out the item; shouldn’t you explain?"

Sun Xiyu took a deep breath.

"Mom, Qianqian is right—I did intend to give the diamond to someone, but before she could accept it, she suddenly came over," he said.

"Then, she insisted on putting the diamond in the other person’s hand, and during that process, the diamond fell to the ground," Sun Xiyu succinctly explained how things had transpired.

"What do you mean ’during that process’?"

Feng Chengcheng said sternly, "Who actually dropped the diamond?"

Sun Xiyu unhesitatingly looked towards Shi Qianqian, disregarding her icy expression.

"It was Shi Qianqian. The diamond fell from her hand to the ground."

"Auntie, I admit, I do have some responsibility, but is she completely without fault?" Shi Qianqian retorted quickly, "After all, if she hadn’t failed to catch it, the diamond wouldn’t have cracked."

"Shi Qianqian, can’t you be less vicious?!" Sun Xiyu said in a deep voice, "Shu Rui is just a college student, not like you. She doesn’t have a supportive family to let her do as she pleases. By doing this, you’re ruining someone’s life!"

"Auntie, look! Shu Rui, he calls her so affectionately!"

Shi Qianqian grasped Feng Chengcheng’s arm.

"You!"

Sun Xiyu couldn’t suppress his anger.

"Sun Xiyu, you listen to me. Qianqian is your fiancée, and you’re going to have the engagement ceremony next year. You’d better watch your attitude," Feng Chengcheng said, comforting Shi Qianqian with a pat on the hand while simultaneously sternly watching her son.

Although just a moment before, she had expressed in no uncertain terms in front of Shi Qianqian that she would never agree to this marriage, at this juncture, Sun Xiyu did not resist and instead clenched his teeth and closed his mouth.

Jiang Chen watched this unfold.

Filial piety is a traditional virtue in the land of Shenzhou, but filial piety without a bottom line is foolish filial piety.

"Auntie, I know you’re very fond of this blood diamond, and Xi Yu is right. No matter what, I do have to take some responsibility. How about this? How much did you spend on this blood diamond initially? I will share half the cost with her."

Truly well-aware of the bigger picture.

"How can this be, Auntie had originally planned to give you the blood diamond as a gift."

Feng Chengcheng spoke up quickly, treating Shi Qianxi even more affectionately than her own son.

"Auntie, let’s keep things separate. If something is broken, it has to be compensated for."

Shi Qianxi insinuated slyly.

As the wife of a business tycoon, Feng Chengcheng might have devoted herself to being a housewife long ago, but that didn’t mean she was without wit.

She could clearly see that the Shi family’s daughter had made up her mind to deal with that female student today.

She didn’t know or care about the girl, but whether it was for the private relationship between the two families or business considerations, she had to take care of the emotions of the Shi family’s precious gem.

"Alright, Auntie will listen to you."

"Thank you, Auntie!"

Shi Qianxi beamed with joy, not at all like someone who was about to pay out money, but rather as if she had just made tens of millions.

It turns out there really are people in this world who delight in harming others without benefitting themselves.

"Mom!"

Sun Xiyu’s expression changed dramatically.

Feng Chengcheng didn’t pay any attention.

"The transaction price of this blood diamond converted into RMB was eighty-six million. We won’t even consider inflation over the years."

"Eighty-six million, half of that is forty-three million."

Shi Qianxi’s math was indeed not bad.

"I’ll have my dad transfer the money later."

One had to admit, although this girl’s character might be sinister and malicious, she truly was a bona fide socialite; over forty million seemed like nothing when it came from her lips.

But there is a disparity between people, a gap that is often so wide it’s unimaginable.

Guo Ran’s face turned deathly pale, terrified by the figure.

Forty-three million?

Forget being students, it could be said that 99.999% of people in the world wouldn’t be able to earn that much money in a lifetime without eating or drinking!

"This is extortion! Shu Rui, let’s call the police!"

Zheng Jingjing feigned toughness but was actually soft in the knees.

As for who was at fault in this situation, it really wasn’t clear, and since the other party had power and influence, whether the matter would turn out better than a fifty-fifty split if they went to court was completely uncertain.

But even a half would still be over forty million!

Where would Shu Rui get that kind of money?!

Zhong Yongfeng and the other wealthy young men sympathized with the girls in their hearts, but human nature is selfish; they wouldn’t invite trouble for someone with whom they had no close relationship, so they all chose to stand by and watch.

This is the harsh reality.

Shi Qianxi had clearly planned from the start to drag Li Shuru down with her.

Because they could afford it, it didn’t matter to the wealthy, but the key question was, could you afford it?

"Do you have a receipt?"

A casual voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone was startled, only to see someone who had finished their meal leisurely wiping their mouth with a napkin, then standing up without any rush.

Feng Chengcheng was a bit displeased with the person’s nonchalant attitude but said nothing.

"If you need it, I can send someone to get it."

Her family, Sun, had a reputation in East Sea, and they couldn’t do anything that would give people a chance to criticize.

"No need to bother, I was just asking,"

Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"What does it have to do with you? Continue eating your meal."

Shi Qianxi sneered, her face that may or may not have been under the knife filled with a sense of superiority that came with her wealthy status.

Jiang Chen glanced at her.

"Miss Shi, right?"

"You don’t need to call your father for money, and there’s no need to act coquettishly or put on an act; why inconvenience yourself?"

Shi Qianxi’s expression suddenly turned cold.

"What do you mean?!"

"Nothing much."

Jiang Chen said with an easy smile.

"Eighty-six million, right? We’ll compensate it."

As soon as he spoke, the whole room fell abruptly silent.
