Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Confirming Ten Million

"Lili, what should I do, this is the bracelet Yun Yue gave me, it’s broken... wuwuwu." Zhang Ziyue picked up the broken bracelet from the ground, crying.

Liang Qian looked down on Zhang Ziyue from above and threw two bills before turning to leave.

Rong Li was not about to let her get away, tightly grabbing her wrist with a cold glare in her eyes, "Don’t you walk away. Today’s matter is not going to end well, follow me to the principal’s office!"

Liang Qian’s face darkened. She tried to break free but couldn’t manage to do it; her hand was already reddening significantly.

She didn’t know where Rong Li got such strength from, such a barbarian!

"You still want to tell the principal, huh? I already compensated you; what more do you want? Or do you think it’s too little? How about I give you a thousand?" Liang Qian furrowed her brows; did these two really want to take this opportunity to extort money from her?

"A thousand?" Rong Li sneered, "Even if you add two more zeroes, it wouldn’t be enough to compensate. You brought this on yourself; you can’t blame us!"

"Ye Zi, stop crying. Take the bracelet and let’s go to the principal’s office. We must make this loudmouth woman pay today!"

Without saying another word, Rong Li dragged her out of the cafeteria, and Zhang Ziyue dried her tears and followed.

Yun Yue’s gift was so precious to her, it was clearly done on purpose, today she must teach her a lesson!

Their commotion here had attracted a lot of attention; everyone was watching.

"How come Class 1 and Class 7 are fighting again? And it’s reached the principal’s office, looks like it’s a serious issue."

"I just saw it. Liang Qian deliberately damaged Zhang Ziyue’s bracelet and condescendingly offered two hundred yuan as compensation. Who wouldn’t be upset by that?"

Liu Xiaopang ran back to Class 7, panting, "Brother Xing, I just saw the class representative crying. It was from Class 1’s Liang Qian. They’re at the principal’s office now."

"Damn! That woman is causing trouble again! She even made Ye Zi cry!" Yang Xing was joking around, but once he heard that Zhang Ziyue was crying, the people of Class 7 were all indignant.

They had given her the nickname Ye Zi, which was both affectionate and easy to say.

As the class representative, Zhang Ziyue had always looked out for them, the "naughty monkeys."

Whenever they caused trouble or were late for class, she would cover for them. At the very least, she was soft-hearted and would easily believe them whenever they acted pitiful or casually tricked her.

The girls in the class were tough and carefree, except for her. She was introverted but kind-hearted, so they all looked out for her.

Now, hearing that she had been crying, both the girls and boys in the class couldn’t stand it.

Yun Yue was taking a nap but woke up slowly when she heard Zhang Ziyue was crying, leaning on her left hand with her sleepy eyes barely open, "Why’s she crying?"

"It seems like Liang Qian deliberately damaged the class representative’s bracelet and condescendingly paid two hundred yuan. Who does she think she is looking down on?" Liu Xiaopang’s round face was filled with anger, his cheeks as red as apples.

"Heh," Yun Yue moved her chair back a bit as she stood up, her smile ambiguous, a teasing light in her eye.

She gulped down a bottle of water, and the dry, thirsty feeling disappeared. Just then, Xiao Ye came running over to call her.

Wang Ning saw her finish the bottle and immediately refilled it for her; after all, Class 1 provided the water, so drinking more was fine.

She got up and followed Xiao Ye, her gaze downcast and her steps lax.

Xiao Ye had a headache. Graduation was looming, but there were still so many problems. Every few days, they were called to the office to see the principal.

The crowd from Class 7 quietly followed, looking at the leader’s indifferent attitude; it seemed this time Liang Qian was going to get it.

They hadn’t even entered the door when they heard Liang Qian’s shrill voice.

"Director Li, I really didn’t mean to do it. I just thought the bracelet was pretty and just wanted to take a look. Who knew it would break by accident? And I’ve already paid, double the amount at that," Liang Qian said arrogantly.

Rong Li was furious, "Your money, even if you add two more zeroes, it still wouldn’t be enough!"

This woman really wanted her face torn to shreds!

Gross, I’m so disgusted.

Liang Qian lifted her chin and scoffed, "I’m dying of laughter. Don’t try to scam me! I heard Zhang Ziyue herself say that the handchain was a gift from Yun Yue, and it cost around a hundred bucks! I already paid two hundred, which is quite generous. Don’t get greedy!"

"I’m honestly amused. That handchain is worth ten million! Even selling you wouldn’t cover the cost!" Rong Li spoke up, unable to tolerate her arrogant demeanor any longer.

The words "ten million" heavily struck the hearts of the three of them.

Zhang Ziyue’s eyes widened. Yun Yue had said it was only worth around a hundred yuan—how had it suddenly become ten million? She tugged on Rong Li’s sleeve and whispered, "Lili, isn’t this handchain just worth around a hundred yuan? Where did ten million come from?"

She worried that inflating the price might cause trouble later.

Li Hongsheng was so shocked he could have fallen off his chair. Just looking at the small handchain, ten million?

Was this a joke?

It wasn’t that he didn’t believe it, per se. Even though Yun Yue was Mrs. Lin’s stepdaughter and was treated well, it just seemed unbelievable that Yun Yue would give away a handchain worth ten million.

At first, Liang Qian’s eyes bulged, but then she let out an arrogant laugh, "That’s hilarious! At least come up with a believable price! If you had said ten thousand, I might have believed it. A hundred thousand is still plausible, but ten million? Do you think I’m that easy to fool?"

"I..." Rong Li was at a loss for words. She wasn’t really sure about the actual price of the handchain herself; she simply wanted to intimidate her.

"The handchain is indeed worth ten million. It was purchased a week ago at a charity auction in Beijing, and there’s a matching necklace. Both were designed by the top jewelry master, Vankaf, and each costs ten million."

Yun Yue walked lazily into the office with her hands in her pockets and shoulders slouched, looking both unruly and defiant.

Rong Li’s eyes lit up at the sound of the voice. She looked toward the door. She hadn’t been mistaken. If the big shot said it was true, then it definitely was.

Xiao Ye closed the door in extreme unease, nearly losing his grip on the doorknob.

Ten million.

"Who are you trying to scare?"

Faced with Yun Yue’s composed and arrogant demeanor, Liang Qian immediately lost her nerve.

She had heard of the master, Vankaf, but how could Yun Yue afford such an expensive handchain, and to give it to Zhang Ziyue no less?

Shen Xuan had always been generous, but only ever gave gifts costing a few thousand. Ten million was worth almost half her family’s company.

Even if the Lin Family was rich, they couldn’t be rich to that extent, and even if Yun Yue was generous, it was implausible that she would just give away something worth ten million.

So, she concluded the handchain must be fake, just a scare tactic.

Once she thought it through, she straightened her spine and spoke with conviction, "Director, these people are colluding to extort money from me. You must stand up for me!"

Li Hongsheng was also troubled. Why couldn’t there be any peace from one day to the next?

He frowned and studied Yun Yue for a moment. The latter remained calm and collected, causing his temples to throb painfully.

"Are you certain it’s worth ten million? You’re not lying?"

He needed to confirm repeatedly; this was a large sum and not easy to settle.

"Certain," Yun Yue affirmed with steely eyes.

Li Hongsheng pondered for a moment then said, "I’ll make a call to have your parents come over."

With ten million in question, even if he wanted to be a mediator, there was nothing he could do!

If they didn’t find a solution today, it would end up in court.

"Director, you can’t trust her words," Liang Qian said, somewhat flabbergasted. It was obvious that she was lying—how could Director Li believe her!
