Chapter 1382: Compensation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Grandpa, are Second Uncle Chi and Second Uncle Nangong done preparing dinner? When can we have dinner tonight?”
“Little Girl, aren’t you full from eating so many desserts? Can you still eat dinner?”
“Those desserts are insignificant! The portions were so small all of them got stuck between my teeth!”
Chi Yang finally blurted, “Grandpa, there’s a pharmacy down there. Wait for me, I’ll buy some digestive pills for later, just in case.”
“Hehehe, sure, sure, sure.”
“Big Brother Chi Yang, you underestimate me.”
“I’m doing this so that you can eat more tonight. Can the dessert here be as good as the reunion dinner that Second Uncle pours his blood, sweat, and tears into?”
“Hehe, that’s true. Second Uncle is making lots of my favorite food tonight.”
“Your second uncle dotes on you the most,” the old master chimed in.
Zhou Ruxue was furious as she watched the three of them disappear.
She had never expected her son, who would be overtaken by urticaria whenever he got close to a woman—his mother included—to withstand getting close to a woman.
It seemed like she had really underestimated this once down-and-out rich daughter of the Nangong family.
Zhou Ruxue had not just failed to help Shi Yalin settle this matter by sending this woman away from Chi Yang, but she also lost ten million bucks.
Zhou Ruxue wanted to go to court to sue Nangong Nuannuan, but she realized that she did not bring any recording or video equipment with her. Even if she brought this to court, she had no evidence.
She thought of countless ways to get the money back, but none of them was plausible. Zhou Ruxue was so angry that she swept the glass on the table onto the floor.
Hearing the noise in the private room, the waiters immediately rushed over. As they helped clean the room, they inquired if Zhou Ruxue was hurt. Zhou Ruxue strode out and yelled at the front desk for the bill.
The waiter replied politely, “Ma’am, you’ve spent a total of 85046 yuan. Would you like to pay in cash or card?”
Zhou Ruxue thought that she misheard what the waiter said. “How much was the bill again?”
“Ma’am, the total is 85046 yuan. This is your receipt. The glass that you broke earlier was a royal crystal glass that our boss specially ordered from F Country. It costs 27800 yuan.”
“Do you know who I am? How dare you extort me?” Zhou Ruxue glared at the waiter and took out her phone. She threatened, “I’m telling you, I’m the Pei family’s young lady. If you dare bring up the word ‘compensation’, I’ll make your boss suffer!”
The waiter looked helpless. “Young Lady Pei, please calm down. We’re just employees here. We’re not trying to extort you with the glass. The glass is expensive, to begin with. If you don’t believe me… um, you may call the police?”
Zhou Ruxue was already overflowing with anger, and now, she insisted on going against this ridiculous store. She immediately called the police, and she even called the Pei family’s relevant personnel, threatening to close down the place.
Later, the police came. After some investigation, they also agreed that Zhou Ruxue should compensate them for the broken glass. Zhou Ruxue scolded the police too. After dragging the police down to wait with her for more than an hour later, someone from the Pei family finally answered her call.
Seeing the caller ID, Zhou Ruxue’s glare softened. “Ji Tong, why did you call me? Is it because you’ve heard about how I got extorted?”
On the other end of the phone, a gentle and elegant voice sounded. “Lil Ru, I know you’ve been wronged, but this club belongs to Shengyang Group. We can’t afford to mess with them at the moment.. It’s just 80000 bucks.”
