Chapter 176: 176 Not delivered

Everyone turned their heads at the sound.

Jiang Chen’s face was calm as still water, "We have already paid the compensation, so according to the law, shouldn’t this diamond now belong to us?"

Sun Xiyu immediately looked towards Shi Qianxi.

"Give them the diamond!"

"A broken piece of stone, I never coveted it anyway!"

Though she was arrogant and overbearing, Miss Shi clearly wasn’t ignorant of the law, and in her angry embarrassment, she didn’t even realize that her words could offend her future mother-in-law. She raised her arm, about to throw the blood diamond she was holding.

"Miss Shi, let me kindly remind you, who broke this diamond earlier is not something we’ll dwell on, but if you smash it now, you will have to shoulder the cost of the damage all by yourself."

At these words, Shi Qianxi’s movement came to an abrupt halt, her slender arm frozen mid-air.

Her earlier indifference was due to the fact that she could drag that wretched woman down with her, and the money was to be paid to the Sun Family; but the situation wasn’t the same now.

Miss Shi might consider money as mere dirt, that’s true, but she was no philanthropist, and she certainly wouldn’t cheapen herself for others!

Today had already been embarrassing enough, and Sun Xiyu didn’t want to prolong this farce. He walked over and snatched the diamond from Shi Qianxi’s hand, indirectly giving Miss Shi a way out.

Having reclaimed the diamond, Sun Xiyu swiftly turned around, went back to the table, and restored it to its rightful place by putting the no-longer-perfect Eye of Medusa back into the pearwood box.

"There’s one more thing."

But Jiang Chen was relentless.

This only served to fuel Shi Qianxi’s already seething fury. "What else do you want?!" she exclaimed.

Jiang Chen smiled.

Some people, perhaps accustomed to throwing their weight around, might even think that he was the one causing trouble.

"The diamond broke, we compensated, but the things you’ve broken, shouldn’t you also pay for them?"

Shi Qianxi was taken aback, and asked without thinking, "What did I break?"

Jiang Chen gestured to the birthday cake lying on the floor.

"Wasn’t it you who knocked this over?"

Shi Qianxi fell silent, clearly furious yet utterly at a loss for words.

"How much is it?"

The one who spoke was Feng Chengcheng.

"Thirty-three thousand. If needed, I have the order on my phone," Jiang Chen replied.

Thirty-three thousand.

Upon hearing this amount, Zhong Yongfeng and his friends turned pale, their gaze shifting from the cake on the floor to Jiang Chen’s composed face, feeling a complex mix of emotions.

What sort of extraordinary person was this guy?

He had already paid 86 million.

And now he was quibbling over little more than thirty thousand?

Ultimately, as a lady of a wealthy family, Feng Chengcheng understood the bigger picture far better than Shi Qianxi, a pampered daughter. Without another word to Jiang Chen, she turned to instruct her chauffeur.

But Jiang Chen interrupted, "Whoever pushed it over should pay."

He naturally didn’t care about the money.

Even if it were wishful thinking, he simply wanted these wealthy people to understand one thing - ordinary people, or those they considered inferior, have their dignity too.

"In your dreams!"

Shi Qianxi glared at him, her eyes seeming to wish she could tear Jiang Chen to shreds.

"If you refuse to compensate, then I have no choice but to call the police. We’ll let the police handle it."

"Go ahead and call! You think I’m afraid of you?!"

Shi Qianxi said defiantly.

"Qian Qian, pay the money," Feng Chengcheng turned and said.

"I won’t!"

In her agitated state, Shi Qianxi forgot to play the part of the obedient girl, "Why should I pay?!"

What brazen arrogance.

Others hadn’t even gotten a bite, hadn’t even unwrapped it, and you’ve knocked it over, and you still ask why?

Sun Xiyu could hardly bear to watch.

"For such a trivial matter, to cause an uproar, in the end, it would reflect poorly on your parents as well. Listen to your aunt."

Feng Chengcheng no longer indulged her and adopted a stern tone typical of an elder.

For prestigious families like theirs, what matters most is reputation.

Moreover,

The young man who could easily produce over eighty million is definitely not someone of ordinary background. To fall completely out of favor with such a person over such a trifle would be a total loss.

Shi Qian Qian obviously did not want to, but she also knew that if she were willful at this moment, she might really offend her future mother-in-law.

Later, if she were to complain to her father, she would undoubtedly be reprimanded.

Despite her seemingly lawlessness on the surface, Miss Shi was actually quite adept at discerning what was important.

She was domineering, not foolish.

"Birthday, is it? Happy birthday to you!"

Weighing the costs and benefits, Miss Shi ultimately chose to swallow her pride. She walked over, kicked the cake again, and then imperiously asked Jiang Chen for his card number.

Jiang Chen presented the payment QR code.

Shi Qian Qian transferred the money with great humiliation.

"Can we go now?"

"No need to see you out."

Shi Qian Qian glared at Jiang Chen resentfully, then turned and walked back to Feng Chengcheng’s side.

Feng Chengcheng didn’t linger, taking her and leaving immediately.

Zhong Yongfeng and other sons of privilege hastily followed suit, filing out one after another.

Sun Xiyu was the last to leave, glancing at the messy private room. He seemed to have something to say but ultimately left without a word, closing the door behind him in desolation.

The room suddenly became quiet.

"What are you all standing around for? Let’s eat."

Jiang Chen turned around, smiling as if nothing had happened.

Zheng Jingjing and Guo Ran remained motionless, staring at him, as if their souls had left their bodies.

"If we don’t eat now, the dishes will really get cold."

"Jiang Chen, you..."

Zheng Jingjing no longer had her previous fierceness. Facing the young man she had denigrated countless times before, her gaze still seemed dazed, and her expression visibly tense, even... reverential.

Wealth is always a man’s best garment.

Everything seemed as if nothing had changed, yet everything had changed.

Guo Ran’s reaction wasn’t any better. Everything that had just happened felt like a dream to her.

"Shush, when we get back to school, don’t talk nonsense, okay? I like to keep a low profile," Jiang Chen said with his usual smile.

Xu Siyi was in a daze.

She thought she had seen many men, her previous boyfriends were also rich second-generation, but none had ever given her this feeling.

Li Shuru was silent. She walked over to the collapsed cake, steadied the transparent packaging box, and righted the cake again.

"Forget it, let’s not eat it," Jiang Chen said softly.

"It’s okay."

After righting the cake, Li Shuru opened the packaging box. Although the beautifully made cake was now a mess to look at, it wasn’t dirtied thanks to the protection from the box.

"Shu Rui, how about we buy another cake?" Guo Ran asked, her voice filled with mixed feelings.

"No need, it’s still edible."

Li Shuru first cut a small piece for herself and then smiled, asking, "Would any of you like some?"

"I’ll do it myself!"

Zheng Jingjing rushed over and cut a piece for herself, too.

Guo Ran quickly followed suit.

"Hmm, it tastes quite good," Zheng Jingjing said after taking a bite, nodding solemnly.

Li Shuru silently finished a piece of cake, then looked at Jiang Chen.

"Would you like a piece?"

Seeing the cream at the corner of her mouth, Jiang Chen smiled gently and nodded lightly.
