Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Slap in the Face, It’s Time to Show the Real Skills

"No, it’s not like that... We didn’t touch the painting at all..." Lin Ci’s eyes became even more panicked, and seeing that the Ji Family didn’t believe them, she could only look at her daughter.

"Mom, it’s okay, don’t worry, it’s just a painting," Ji Weitian patted the back of her hand, comforting her.

Lin Ci’s expression had just eased when Ji Kaisui scoffed from the side.

"You say that so lightly, just a painting, do you know how much this painting is worth? I’m afraid even if you sold your whole family, you couldn’t afford to compensate!"

Hearing this, Lin Ci’s face turned pale in an instant, and her eyes reddened.

They had originally followed the butler on a proper tour of the villa and hadn’t intended to enter the study.

Out of concern for any trade secrets, it was the second young miss of the Ji Family who told them that there were many beautiful things in the study and insisted they come in to take a look.

Unable to refuse for fear of offending, they came over to have a look.

They hadn’t expected such an accident to happen.

But they really hadn’t touched the paintings, let alone those paintings; they wouldn’t dare touch anything in the Ji Family Villa.

They merely took a cursory look around.

But now, facing Ji Kaisui’s accusations, they were utterly defenseless!

"You don’t need to be so worked up; if it’s broken, it’s broken — we haven’t asked you to pay for it, knowing full well you couldn’t afford it," Su Sumei spoke indifferently, opening her lips. Her scornful tone was even more humiliating than what Ji Kaisui had said.

A soft knife that cuts to the heart.

It immediately caused Shen Yixian and Lin Ci to turn red-faced with shame and anger.

Though they were poor, their spirit was not diminished; they had dignity!

If it was their doing, then it was their doing; if not, then not.

They couldn’t let the Ji Family spout nonsense at their expense.

Determination flashed across Shen Yixian’s honest face, and he clenched his teeth.

"Tiantian, your mother is telling the truth, we really didn’t touch the painting, we don’t know what happened, the painting suddenly fell, and then the second young miss of the Ji Family pointed at us saying we were the ones who damaged it."

"We were the only ones in the study at that time, and I was always standing with the butler. It wasn’t until you walked up to the painting that it fell to the ground. If it wasn’t you who damaged it, then could it have been me? Have you no shame?"

Ji Kaisui stood with her hands on her hips, accusingly screaming.

She was muttering under her breath, saying how the Ji Family had thought highly of them, inviting them to dinner, only to receive ingratitude in return.

She even speculated whether Shen Yixian and Lin Ci, seeing the potential for money, had wanted to steal the Ji’s painting and had damaged it in a moment of desperation...

If the earlier words were just a dispute over what happened, these latter words were a direct assault on their character.

Shen Yixian and Lin Ci, both honest people, had never encountered such unreasonable behavior; they were both anxious and angry.

Pointing to Ji Kaisui, their voices trembled with rage: "You can’t humiliate people like this just because you’re wealthy!"

"Do you have any evidence to prove that you didn’t damage the painting?" Ji Kaisui, with her arms crossed, was uncompromising.

She just couldn’t stand watching Ji Weitian, who had grown up in the marketplace, still acting so proudly like a princess in front of her.

Did Ji Weitian cherish those two country bumpkins who had never seen the world? She was determined to make Ji Weitian suffer.

What do you call the daughters raised by thieves? Little pickpockets?

Let’s see how Ji Weitian can still have the face to compete with her for men and to be arrogant in front of her!

"Shouldn’t such an important place as the study have surveillance?" Ji Weitian’s eyes narrowed, she didn’t look for the butler but spoke coldly instead.
