"So that's what you think of me all this time. I can't even compare to this pauper after the four years we spent studying together. Fine, in that case, why carry on hanging out together? Since you don't believe me, we should go our separate ways! Hubby, let's go. We shouldn't help them compensate for the jade bracelet and let them take advantage of us," said Guo Ya-Wen continuously in a fury. Her angry voice kept echoing through the air.
Then she pulled her husband along as she turned to head out.
"Wenwen, Wenwen!" shouted Meng Han anxiously from being stuck in the middle now that Guo Ya-Wen and Xu Lei had fallen out, but it was clearly futile.
Guo Ya-Wen and her hubby left the jewelry shop without even looking back.
"Lei, are you dumb? How can you offend Wenwen for someone like him? It's not worth it!" said Meng Han as she sighed.
Then Meng Han glared viciously at Ye Fan and shouted, "Look at what you've done?
You caused trouble and dragged Lei under with you. You can forget about watching the fighting match this afternoon."
Meng Han had the utmost detest for Ye Fan.
Then Meng Han turned to look at Xu Lei and said she would talk to Wenwen and look for Xu Lei later.
All three of them left before long, and only Ye Fan and Xu Lei remained.
"Fan, I'm sorry. My classmates were..." said Xu Lei apologetically in a soft tone as she hung her head guiltily after Meng Han left.
Ye Fan laughed softly and said, "Lei, don't apologize. It wasn't your fault. It's a big world out there, so there's bound to be all kinds of other birds who can't mix with us. Let's go. The fighting match is about to begin, so we have to go. If we turn up late, Xue Ren-Yang will get anxious."
Ye Fan spoke nonchalantly and remained composed. It was as though the incident didn't cause a ripple in his heart.
Ye Fan might be young.
But he had experienced many upheavals all these years.
Even though he didn't have a complete understanding of the world yet, he was able to remain calm regardless of the situation.
Guo Ya-Wen's petty tricks were undoubtedly childish and hilarious to Ye Fan, so he naturally wouldn't feel angry about clowns like her.
"Stop right there! Do you want to leave without paying up after breaking my bracelet? There is no such good fortune in the world!" said the fat shop owner sternly as he walked over to Ye Fan and Xu Lei while they prepared to leave.
Since Xu Lei was eager for things to proceed quietly, she wanted to compensate the shop owner.
"Since your bracelet was priced at slightly over $9,000,1 will pay you $10,000, okay?" said Xu Lei calmly.
"$10,000? Do you think you can settle the problem with just $10,000? Dream on. You disturbed my customers, affected my business, and caused a huge loss for my store. You can forget about leaving without paying $50,000!" said the fat shop owner coldly as he smiled. He thought Xu Lei and Ye Fan were pushovers and became greedy when they already offered fair compensation.
Then he got two of his men to block the entrance, and it all seemed rather terrifying.
"Are...are you trying to extort us?" said Xu Lei angrily.
