âA rose is sold for 300 yuan. Why donât you rob a bank!?â Niniâs family had some money, but they werenât extravagant enough to spend 300 yuan on a rose. âAre you trying to extort money from me with these lousy flowers?â
Tian Tian pursed her lips and looked straight at Nini. â300 yuan is just the price of this flower in the place of origin. Itâs more than 300 yuan if itâs shipped here. I donât want you to pay too much. Just 300 yuan will do.â
A drop of sweat appeared on Niniâs forehead. âYouâ¦Are your flowers really that expensive?â
Tian Tian didnât want to lie to her, so she took out the flower and showed it to Nini. âYou can convert it yourself. This flower was originally from Western Europe, so its original price were in euros.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAnd the pile on the ground, each of them is a unique piece made by a master. Now that youâve broken them, theyâre roughly worth 400,000 to 500,000 yuan. I wonât charge you much, just 450,000. Do you want cash or bank transfer?â Tian Tian wasnât afraid at all. This bad guy had broken her things, so she had to pay for it.
Nini didnât even have 450,000 yuan for a yearâs 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?
âWhy are you using such expensive things in school?â Lannie couldnât afford to pay, so she blamed Tian Tian instead. âIf we accidentally broke it, wouldnât we have to pay for it?â
The girls outside agreed with Nini. If they knew how expensive these things were, they wouldnât have dared to go near them.
Tian Tian replied, âIf someone accidentally breaks my things, I wonât let them pay for it. Iâm not a petty person. I wonât hurt our friendship over such a small matter.â
Lannie heaved a sigh of relief. She smiled. âThatâs right. Weâre still good classmates. Why would you ask me to pay so much money?â
Tian Tianâs face was expressionless. âBut youâre different. You broke my things on purpose, so you have to pay me back, and not a single cent less.â
Chen Yao stood at the side and didnât say anything. She wanted to speak up for Nini, but she couldnât even take out 1,000 yuan. How could she afford to pay so much?
Upon hearing Tian Tianâs insistence that she compensate, Niniâs attitude took a 180-degree turn. âWhy would such a lousy thing need so much money?â
âDonât doubt me.â Tan Rou squatted down and picked up a broken puppet. âIf Iâm 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.â
âYouâre talking nonsense. Are you trying to extort my money? Iâm going to call the counselor!â Nini took out her phone to make a call. When she dialed the number, she remembered that she didnât even know the counselorâs phone number.
âHey, whatâs the counselorâs phone number?â Nini asked Chen Yao arrogantly.
Chen Yao did not know the counselorâs number either. She said apologetically, âNini, I⦠I forgot to save the counselorâs number.â
Nini once again vented her anger on Chen Yao. âYouâre getting more and more useless!â
Tan Rou couldnât stand it anymore. She interrupted them. âTell me, when do you plan to return the money? Even if you find a counselor, the counselor canât help you. You still have to pay the money.â
Nini couldnât find the counselorâs number and was at a disadvantage. She squatted on the ground and cried. âYouâre all bullying me! I came here to attend university alone, all alone, and all of you came to bully me!â
The cold girl from the dormitory next door couldnât stand it anymore. âYou were the one who destroyed it. We all saw it. You canât deny it. You have to pay for destroying other peopleâs things. Not only did you not pay, but you also said that the victim bullied you. Isnât that nonsense?â
âThatâs right. Even my younger sister in kindergarten knows that you have to pay for destroying other peopleâs things. Donât you know that as an adult?âanother girl said.
They werenât afraid of offending Lannie. They wouldnât befriend someone like Lannie who destroyed other peopleâs things and had a bad temper.
Seeing that everyone was blaming her and she couldnât afford to compensate Tian Tian, Nini started crying again. âIâm sorry. Can I apologize to you?
Besides, thereâs only ink on your bedsheet.. Can I help you wash it clean?â
