At my ex-boyfriend's engagement banquet, I appeared in full attire. He thought I was there to cause trouble, but I smiled very kindly and said, "We'll all be family from now on, no need...
Chapter 324: Each Screw Costs Thousands
Old Wu remained expressionless. "I'm not trying to extort money from you. This is my boss's car. The repair cost will be around 20,000 yuan."
Everyone present was stunned. Aunt Liu's eyes widened and her voice changed. "Mr. Duo? You mean Mr. Duo? Twenty thousand?"
Why don't you just go and rob me? You dare to ask me for 20,000 just for drawing two seals, one horizontal and one vertical?
Are you a bandit who just came down from the mountains?"
A young man's voice sounded behind him: "Who called the police just now?"
Everyone looked back and saw two policemen.
Someone murmured quietly: "Why would someone call the police for a funeral?"
Old Wu stood up and said, "Comrade police, I called the police."
Old Wu usually wears formal clothes when he goes out. As he was a soldier in his early years, he has an upright posture and looks quite imposing.
Seeing Old Wu like this, the police became more polite and asked, "Excuse me, what happened?"
Old Wu pointed seriously at the Bentley parked in the parking space. "I parked my car here, and it got scratched. The value of the scratch should be over ten thousand yuan."
The younger policeman took a look at the car logo and said, "Wow, this thing is not cheap!"
He looked at Old Wu again and asked, "Is this your car?"
Old Wu shook his head: "No, it belongs to my boss."
"Then did you see who scratched it?" The policeman took out a notebook and began to record it.
"I saw it," Old Wu pointed at Aunt Liu and her grandson, "that's the one she's holding."
When Aunt Liu saw Old Wu pointing at her, she immediately said with great grievance, "Comrade police officer, the child is ignorant and naughty, but it was not intentional.
He wanted to extort 20,000 yuan from me for just two scratches, and told me to fix them with some black paint instead of even 200 yuan.
This is clearly blackmail!"
The older policeman was very friendly and patiently explained to Aunt Liu, "Auntie, this car is a top-of-the-line luxury Bentley, it costs millions. Even a single screw on the car would probably cost thousands.
You see, it's just a small scratch, but it's really expensive to go to a 4S shop and repaint the entire door.
Of course, the specific amount of compensation will be determined by the 4S store after assessing the damage."
Aunt Liu was stunned when she heard the police say the same thing. She looked at Uncle Zhang and said, "Old Zhang, didn't you say this was a domestically produced BYD? How could it be a Bentley?"
Uncle Zhang said somewhat sheepishly, "I've never seen a Bentley before. Doesn't its logo look quite similar to a BYD's?"
As he spoke, he became a little angry: "Who told these foreigners to copy our Chinese cars? Even the car logos are almost the same. Who can tell them apart?"
I couldn't stand it any longer. "Uncle Zhang, I don't mean to flatter him, but when he designed the Bentley logo, we were still in the midst of the May Fourth Movement."
Uncle Zhang was speechless because of what I said, and Aunt Liu refused to pay the 20,000 yuan repair fee no matter what.
The older police officer patiently told her, "You don't have to pay for this. The child's guardians are his parents, so they should pay for it."
"What? What's the difference between asking my son to pay for it and asking me to pay for it?" Aunt Liu started yelling again.
At this time, several cars drove into the community, including my father's G-Class.
My mother got out of the car and saw the commotion. She frowned and walked over to me and asked, "The dinner is about to start. What's going on?"
I briefly explained what happened, and my mother looked at me with some dissatisfaction. "Look, it was you who caused this trouble. If you hadn't taken such a nice car back home, wouldn't everything have been fine?"
