Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Crown Shattered
But she still stubbornly turned her head away.
He stubbornly insisted, "It's alright, I don't need you..."
Before he could even utter the word "Guan," he saw Xu Yihuan walk straight past him and head towards Wu Qingqing.
The last word got stuck in his throat.
"Wu Qingqing! What do you mean? Didn't you say that what you found wasn't my academic talisman, but a sachet?"
Xu Yihuan's voice was cold and sharp, and her gaze towards Wu Qingqing was so cold that it didn't seem like she was looking at a living creature.
Xu Yihuan continued speaking, pressing closer and closer.
"What does that video mean?"
"You clearly found what I dropped! Why are you lying to me again?!"
Wu Qingqing was startled by Xu Yihuan's appearance.
Under Xu Yihuan's relentless pressure, he retreated step by step.
His eyes became increasingly red.
Tears welled up in her eyes, making her look pitiful.
"I didn't. How would I know if what you're saying is true? What if you're lying to me?"
Under Xu Yihuan's relentless pressure, Wu Qingqing subconsciously retreated.
They retreated until they were behind Pei Yuli.
She carefully tugged at Pei Yuli's sleeve.
"Brother Yuli".
Of everyone present, she could only rely on Pei Yuli.
No matter what, she wouldn't just abandon herself, would she?
We've spoiled you for the past two or three years, what's a little more pampering?
So what if she's wrong? As long as the protagonist protects her, what can others do to her?
However, Wu Qingqing was indeed right.
Pei Yuli looked at Xu Yihuan and sighed.
He instinctively shielded Wu Qingqing behind him.
"Huanhuan, what are you doing?"
Xu Yihuan raised her eyes, her burning gaze fixed on Pei Yuli.
Pei Yuli was also scorched and took a step back.
"Can't you tell? I just want her to give my things back."
"Xu Yihuan, don't be unreasonable."
How can you be so sure that the lost item is yours?
Pei Yuli had a gentle voice.
Xu Yihuan frowned.
"Can't you see it? She told me it was a sachet? How can it possibly look like a sachet?"
Pei Yuli sighed.
"I think you got confused by the sachet the other day, which is why you mistook it for a study talisman."
Once Pei Yuli spoke, his stance became clear, and everyone present echoed his agreement.
"Yes, yes, that looks a lot like a sachet to me. My sister likes to buy a bunch of these sachets and put them at home."
"Yes, yes, the sachets are delicious, and they don't pill. They're worth buying again."
"I also think it looks like a sachet, not a study talisman at all."
I can hear everyone's voices.
Pei Yuli's tightly furrowed brows relaxed.
"See, that's what everyone's saying."
"Huanhuan, it's because you've been too tired lately, or perhaps you were too eager to find what you lost, which is why you mistook it for something else."
Pei Yuli's voice was clear and cold, and his light brown pupils stared straight at Xu Yihuan with a seductive quality.
Xu Yihuan seemed to be persuaded.
She lowered her head slightly, her thick, long eyelashes fluttering.
In places that cannot be seen.
Xu Yihuan pinched her inner thigh hard.
Instantly, her eyes filled with tears.
Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke.
Password, it really hurts.
But since we've already pinched it off, we can't let it go to waste.
So Xu Yihuan spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Yeah?"
"But brother, do you still remember? That bracelet."
"That bracelet was bought for me in Europe because I wanted it, and you spent all your savings to buy it for me..."
“I’ve worn that bracelet since I was a child. Even though it’s a bit too small for me now, I still wear it every day. Do you think I don’t know what it looks like?”
Xu Yihuan's words stung everyone present who had brothers and sisters.
Almost all of them have inherited family property, so very few are only children.
Hearing Xu Yihuan say this, I was quite moved.
If the things I buy for my younger siblings are appreciated like this, they will be very happy.
Therefore, the supporting comedians, contrary to their usual behavior, fell silent.
If this really is something Pei Yuli gave to Xu Yihuan, then what about the amulet that was placed with this bracelet?
Needless to say, it was naturally Xu Yihuan's stuff.
Pei Yuli felt a sore throat.
But she continued, "Huanhuan, isn't it just that you like that bracelet?"
"How about this? You both compromise, let Qingqing give you the crown, and you don't have to pursue the bracelet issue anymore, okay?"
Xu Yihuan sneered twice: "What about the academic talisman? You know Pei Yuli."
"This is something my mother gave me."
"You should know that Puji Temple has stopped issuing academic amulets this year."
Starting last year, Puji Temple gradually stopped selling various talismans.
Speaking of which, the academic talisman was among the last batch to be discontinued, and that was also this year.
As she spoke, Xu Yihuan's eyes were full of stubbornness, tinged with a hint of crimson, but there were no tears.
Pei Yuli looked at Xu Yihuan.
A slight pang of pain shot through my heart.
"I'll compensate you."
"You... I can pay you whatever amount of money you want."
How could this be?!
Upon hearing this, Wu Qingqing's eyes widened in disbelief.
He immediately turned to look at Pei Yuli.
“Brother Yuli, you…”
Pei Yuli pursed his lips, too lazy to look at Wu Qingqing again.
No one reacted when they heard this.
In their circle, money is the one thing they have in abundance.
Things that can be solved with money are not big problems.
Everyone watched Xu Yihuan's reaction intently.
If she's not stupid, she should know that she can't agree to such a condition, right?
After all, everyone needs money.
Xu Yihuan's family is also very wealthy.
Fortunately, it lived up to expectations.
Xu Yihuan rejected Pei Yuli's proposal.
She bit her lip and stubbornly said, "I don't want money."
He paused, then said, "I need you to agree to one condition, is that alright?"
Xu Yihuan looked at Pei Yuli with a very serious expression.
Pei Yuli was surprised that Xu Yihuan would make such a simple request.
You should know that back when Xu Yihuan was at home, she had no requests.
All you need to do is act cute.
Pei Yuli's expression returned to its gentle state.
It seems that Xu Yihuan is still a little girl at heart and easily satisfied.
Xu Yihuan's words stirred a secret pleasure within Pei Yuli.
The pleasure made his still-bleeding hand no longer hurt.
He coughed lightly twice: "Okay."
Hearing Pei Yuli's words, Xu Yihuan finally felt relieved.
That's great, she was just afraid he wouldn't agree.
However, this was an unexpected surprise.
If it weren't for his doting on Wu Qingqing, she probably wouldn't have been able to get such a good deal.
Xu Yihuan's lips curled up slightly, with a barely perceptible smile.
Pei Yuli pursed his lips as he looked at Xu Yihuan.
They took another step back.
"This is just your condition. As compensation, I'll give you this crown today."
This was the first time the two of them had spoken so calmly since Pei Yuli returned.
"Qingqing".
Pei Yuli gestured to Wu Qingqing to give the crown on her head to Xu Yihuan.
Xu Yihuan never expected Pei Yuli to do this.
He then raised an eyebrow and looked at Wu Qingqing.
Just now in the bathroom, she was praising this crown to the skies.
She's willing to take out such a good thing?
Xu Yihuan guessed correctly.
Wu Qingqing really couldn't bear to part with it.
But there's nothing I can do even if I can't bear to part with it.
Wu Qingqing's movements were as if they were at 0.5x speed.
He slowly took the crown off his head.
He reluctantly handed it to Xu Yihuan.
Xu Yihuan did not answer.
Her gaze was fixed on Pei Yuli.
Is what you just said true?
"Promise me one thing, whatever it may be, and I'll fulfill it later."
Pei Yuli couldn't help but smile.
"certainly."
Xu Yihuan nodded: "That's good."
Then he reached out his hand, wanting to take the crown from Wu Qingqing's hand.
Wu Qingqing slowly handed the things in her hand to Xu Yihuan.
Just as the item was about to be placed in Xu Yihuan's hands.
Xu Yihuan suddenly let go of her hand.
The crown fell to the ground.
A crisp snapping sound rang out.
The crystal, valued at eight million, is not very hard to begin with.
With that fall, it shattered into pieces.
