Chapter 666 - 666: 666 Blackmail?
“A rose is sold for 300 yuan. Why don’t you rob a bank!?” Nini’s family had some money, but they weren’t extravagant enough to spend 300 yuan on a rose. “Are you trying to extort money from me with these lousy flowers?”
Tian Tian pursed her lips and looked straight at Nini. “300 yuan is just the price of this flower in the place of origin. It’s more than 300 yuan if it’s shipped here. I don’t want you to pay too much. Just 300 yuan will do.”
A drop of sweat appeared on Nini’s forehead. “You…Are your flowers really that expensive?”
Tian Tian didn’t want to lie to her, so she took out the flower and showed it to Nini. “You can convert it yourself. This flower was originally from Western Europe, so its original price were in euros.”
“And the pile on the ground, each of them is a unique piece made by a master. Now that you’ve broken them, they’re roughly worth 400,000 to 500,000 yuan. I won’t charge you much, just 450,000. Do you want cash or bank transfer?” Tian Tian wasn’t afraid at all. This bad guy had broken her things, so she had to pay for it.
Nini didn’t even have 450,000 yuan for a year’s living expenses. How could she compensate Tian Tian with 400,000 yuan? Oh, not just 400,000 yuan, but the bed set also cost 280,000 yuan. If she counted the scattered money, it would be more than 700,000 yuan. Where could she get so much money?
“Why are you using such expensive things in school?” Lannie couldn’t afford to pay, so she blamed Tian Tian instead. “If we accidentally broke it, wouldn’t we have to pay for it?”
The girls outside agreed with Nini. If they knew how expensive these things were, they wouldn’t have dared to go near them.
Tian Tian replied, “If someone accidentally breaks my things, I won’t let them pay for it. I’m not a petty person. I won’t hurt our friendship over such a small matter.”
Lannie heaved a sigh of relief. She smiled. “That’s right. We’re still good classmates. Why would you ask me to pay so much money?”
Tian Tian’s face was expressionless. “But you’re different. You broke my things on purpose, so you have to pay me back, and not a single cent less.”
Chen Yao stood at the side and didn’t say anything. She wanted to speak up for Nini, but she couldn’t even take out 1,000 yuan. How could she afford to pay so much?
Upon hearing Tian Tian’s insistence that she compensate, Nini’s attitude took a 180-degree turn. “Why would such a lousy thing need so much money?”
“Don’t doubt me.” Tan Rou squatted down and picked up a broken puppet. “If I’m not wrong, this should be the work of the top puppet master in the country, Master Mo. Just this puppet alone is worth 30,000 yuan.”
“You’re talking nonsense. Are you trying to extort my money? I’m going to call the counselor!” Nini took out her phone to make a call. When she dialed the number, she remembered that she didn’t even know the counselor’s phone number.
“Hey, what’s the counselor’s phone number?” Nini asked Chen Yao arrogantly.
Chen Yao did not know the counselor’s number either. She said apologetically, “Nini, I… I forgot to save the counselor’s number.”
Nini once again vented her anger on Chen Yao. “You’re getting more and more useless!”
Tan Rou couldn’t stand it anymore. She interrupted them. “Tell me, when do you plan to return the money? Even if you find a counselor, the counselor can’t help you. You still have to pay the money.”
Nini couldn’t find the counselor’s number and was at a disadvantage. She squatted on the ground and cried. “You’re all bullying me! I came here to attend university alone, all alone, and all of you came to bully me!”
The cold girl from the dormitory next door couldn’t stand it anymore. “You were the one who destroyed it. We all saw it. You can’t deny it. You have to pay for destroying other people’s things. Not only did you not pay, but you also said that the victim bullied you. Isn’t that nonsense?”
“That’s right. Even my younger sister in kindergarten knows that you have to pay for destroying other people’s things. Don’t you know that as an adult?”another girl said.
They weren’t afraid of offending Lannie. They wouldn’t befriend someone like Lannie who destroyed other people’s things and had a bad temper.
Seeing that everyone was blaming her and she couldn’t afford to compensate Tian Tian, Nini started crying again. “I’m sorry. Can I apologize to you?
Besides, there’s only ink on your bedsheet.. Can I help you wash it clean?”
