Chapter 179

"Apparently, cake wouldn\'t have been effective in ruining the evening gown."

"This woman may look like an innocent flower, but she\'s no pushover."

The engagement party gown had been ruined by a glass of juice. This dress had been specially commissioned from a foreign designer for the engagement, costing several million yuan.

Of course, money wasn\'t the most important thing.

What mattered most was that Lu Lanshan had been looking forward to wearing this gown at the engagement party for a long time.

Her closet was full of haute couture gowns, most of which she had worn before. Even the unworn dresses couldn\'t compare to the exquisite craftsmanship of this particular gown.

But if she were to go out and serve tea wearing a dress with a juice stain on the skirt, even if no one could see the stain under the lights, it would still bother her.

Just thinking about it made her uncomfortable all over.

The more annoyed she became, the more she could hear Wen Jingxuan\'s apologetic background music.

Lu Lanshan was about to rebuke her to shut up when Shi Li pressed her hand.

She spoke gently to Wen Jingxuan, "It\'s alright, I believe you didn\'t do it on purpose. This young lady seems well-mannered. Surely your parents taught you from a young age that you should take responsibility when you damage someone else\'s property, right?"

Wen Jingxuan, with tears still in her eyes, nodded blankly. For a moment, she looked a bit like Song Ying.

As soon as this thought crossed her mind, Shi Li quickly dismissed it. How could she think such a thing? It would be the greatest insult to Song Ying. The little green tea bitch might be a bit more cunning, but she would never do something so despicable.

Shi Li made a gesture asking for money, "This gown is haute couture. The design and production costs totaled eight million yuan. Because of your carelessness, this gown is ruined, and my sister Lanshan can\'t wear it to the engagement party. This could potentially ruin the carefully planned engagement party for both families. Asking you to pay for just the gown isn\'t too much, is it?"

Shi Li\'s expression was pure and kind, like a livestreamer offering you a great deal. You\'d think, with such a bargain, shouldn\'t you jump at the chance?

Wen Jingxuan bit her lip and said pitifully, "I\'m sorry, I didn\'t mean to."

Shi Li nodded understandingly, "I know you didn\'t mean to. That\'s why we\'re giving you a discount, just asking for the cost of the gown."

She said in a particularly mysterious tone, "And, as long as you pay and leave, you can take this gown with you. We\'re really not taking advantage of you. In some places, when you damage someone\'s property, they ask for money and you don\'t even get to keep the item. Compared to those people, don\'t you see how nice we\'re being?"

"You should know, this is a work by a famous foreign designer. To persuade this designer to come out of retirement and design a dress for my sister Lanshan, our family had to call in a lot of favors. Favors are priceless, but considering we\'ve just met, we won\'t convert those favors into money. Consider it a free gift from us."

Wen Jingxuan couldn\'t smile. She didn\'t know if this deal was giving her a discount, and she didn\'t want to know. The problem now was that she didn\'t have eight million yuan.

Wen Jingxuan looked to Bo Yiyang with pleading eyes. The man immediately spoke up, "She really didn\'t mean to do it. Why don\'t we just let it go?"

Lu Lanshan\'s anger had mostly dissipated while Shi Li was giving Wen Jingxuan a hard time.

She didn\'t have a perverse taste for seeing the weak bullied, but watching that scene had somehow made her feel better.

It wouldn\'t be right if she lost money and her good mood, while the culprit got away with just saying sorry twice.

That would be too unfair.

Her family wasn\'t short of money, but nobody\'s money grew on trees.

Why should her family waste money on an unrelated person just because they were wealthy?

Even she took great care of such a precious dress.

An outsider spills a glass of orange juice on it and just says sorry twice? On what grounds?

When Lu Lanshan heard Bo Yiyang\'s words, her anger flared up again.

Shi Li patted her hand comfortingly, signaling her not to rush.

Shi Li spoke up, "Brother-in-law, whose side are you on? How can you be siding with an outsider? We\'re family."

Bo Yiyang was momentarily at a loss for words. He laughed dryly, "Of course we\'re family. She\'s just a little secretary, how could she afford to compensate you eight million? Why don\'t we just let it go? After all, there\'s no real loss."

Shi Li pointed at the dress hanging nearby, "How is there no loss? This cost several million. Brother-in-law, you\'re so generous. If you\'re this generous, why don\'t you give me ten million to spend? We\'re family, after all. If you can let go of someone else\'s eight million, giving me an extra two million shouldn\'t be much in your eyes, right?"

According to Bo Yiyang\'s logic, it wasn\'t much, but considering his current account balance, this amount was not insignificant.

Currently, the company was facing operational difficulties, and most of his liquid assets had been invested in the company and projects.

Otherwise, he wouldn\'t have chosen to sell his marriage. Just looking at the engagement venue being held in Lu\'s mansion showed his current financial situation, and that he was practically a live-in son-in-law in this marriage.

Bo Yiyang couldn\'t understand where Lu Lanshan had found such a difficult sister.

This person was simply unreasonable, clearly a young lady from a wealthy family, yet all she talked about was money, reeking of the stench of copper.

Shi Li reminded Lu Lanshan to take out her payment code, "So, would you prefer to transfer via Taobao or bank transfer? Don\'t worry, this dress can still be worn after washing. You\'re definitely not losing out."

Shi Li\'s aggressive stance made Wen Jingxuan look extremely pitiful.

Receiving a pleading look from his love interest, Bo Yiyang steeled himself and said, "She\'s an employee of my company, and this mishap happened because she was trying to help me. I\'ll pay for it. It\'s just eight million, right?"

Shi Li gave a thumbs up, "Brother-in-law, you\'re so generous. Transfer the money first."

Bo Yiyang, after all, was a rich second-generation from a wealthy family. If he really had to, he could come up with this amount. It\'s just that he didn\'t have much liquid cash on hand, and after transferring this eight million, he wouldn\'t have much left.

He looked pitifully at Lu Lanshan, "Lanshan, we\'re a couple after all. Can\'t we just let this go?"

Shi Li once again stepped in to play the villain. She chuckled lightly, "Brother-in-law, as you said, you and my sister are a couple. My sister\'s money is your money. You\'re not giving the money to an outsider, you\'re transferring it to my sister. After you get married, won\'t it all be yours anyway?"

Bo Yiyang knew clearly in his heart that he had never considered Lu Lanshan as his future wife, but Shi Li had already put it this way. Not giving the money would mean not seeing Lu Lanshan as his future wife.

Bo Yiyang asked Wen Jingxuan to take out the checkbook. He pretended to be nonchalant as he wrote a check for eight million, but his heart was bleeding.

Shi Li, acting like an assistant, took the check and carefully confirmed that everything was written correctly, including the amount.

Her cautious examination of the check infuriated Bo Yiyang. What kind of person did she think he was? Even if he was short of money, he would never cheat anyone.

He tossed out a sentence, "You go ahead and do your makeup. I\'ll go out and handle things," before turning to leave.

The makeup artist and stylist had long been frightened by the commotion in the room, shrinking into a corner.

After the only two variables in the makeup room left, they hurriedly said they would go to the wardrobe to look for a replacement gown.

After the makeup artist also left, only Shi Li and Lu Lanshan remained in the room.

"You\'re right, I don\'t really want to go through with this marriage anymore."
