Chapter 787: You lied to us!!
"Besides, they're sisters! What's wrong with the younger sister wearing her older sister's jewelry? Even if she wanted it, she wouldn't have to pay for it! Besides, Niannian didn't even want it; she just wore it briefly! If it's broken, it's because of its poor quality! You shouldn't be going to the seller! Instead, you're coming to us! That doesn't make sense!" Madam You no longer cared about her husband's work or his previous attempts to curry favor with You Niannian. All that flattery was just empty talk; now they had tens of millions to repay!
No money, absolutely no money! She'd rather die than have any money! All the You family's money is hers! Anyone who dares to take a single cent! She'll fight them to the death!
Yu Niannian's anger subsided. She had seen shameless people before, but she had never seen anyone as shameless as this!
"I'm not going to waste my breath on you. I just want to know if there can be a result for this matter. If not, I'm calling the police."
Upon hearing this, You Niannian immediately grabbed her father's sleeve and cried out anxiously, "Dad! Please say something! I don't want to go to the police station!"
Mr. You rubbed his brow and sighed helplessly, "Niannian, this is our family matter! There's no need to make a fuss like this, is there? I don't have that much money, do you think you can reduce it a bit?" After saying that, he squatted down and picked up the necklace and gemstones.
He smiled and said, "It's just that the equipment was loosened, not broken. There's actually no loss, right? For your sake, I'm your father, so please don't go to the police station. It's embarrassing, and it's bad for your sister's reputation! She's a girl, and if her reputation is ruined, she's finished! Dad hopes you can be more understanding. Of course, we're not refusing to compensate, but this amount is indeed too much! Can we discuss it and reduce it?"
Looking at the loving father's expression, You Niannian suddenly didn't want to say anything more.
"How about 2 million? That's not too little, is it?" You Niannian smiled at them.
"No! That's too much! I'll give you a maximum of 20,000!" Mrs. You immediately objected.
You Niannian nodded: "Then there's nothing to talk about. Let's call the police and talk at the police station." As she spoke, she took the phone from Gu Yin and was about to make a call.
You Niannian was almost in tears: "Dad! Mom! I'm in the police station. If this scandal comes out, my life will be ruined! I don't want it! It's just two million! Give it to her! I'll pay you back later!"
"You'll pay it back?! How will you pay it back?! No way! It's too much!" Madam You still disagreed! Once this money is gone, our quality of life will plummet! Eating in the canteen every day? Wouldn't that be a laughingstock?!
"Give it to her!"
"No! Absolutely not!"
"You don't want your daughter to go to jail if you don't give it to her? If that's what you're thinking, then I can only respect your decision." Mr. You laughed angrily.
Upon hearing this, Madam You immediately said, "You should talk to them and ask them to make an exception."
"Don't even think about it! Don't you know how high my position is? In Beijing, where even a brick could be thrown and a royal relative would emerge, what power do I have to make exceptions? Just give her the card now!" The thought that this woman actually wanted him to use his official authority to handle this matter immediately hardened Mr. You's heart. No one was more important than his job!
He knew how much money was in the card.
Although Mrs. You seemed to be in charge of the household, in fact, her daily expenses had to be recorded so that Mr. You could check the accounts at the end of each month, and any major expenses had to be approved by Mr. You!
Seeing that he was truly angry, Madam You reluctantly took out a card from her bag and handed it to You Niannian: "There's 2 million in this card! It's our whole family's savings. If you take it, even if we don't cut back on our spending, we'll definitely have a hard time. Niannian, I know we haven't treated you well all these years, but can you please not take this money for your father's sake? You don't need the money anyway! And the New Year is just a month away! We haven't even had a proper New Year yet!"
The thought of that meager New Year's atmosphere was unbearable for her!
You Niannian smiled and reached out to grab the bank card with a forceful pull, then looked at her father and said, "Password."
Mr. You pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "It's your mother's birthday."
You Niannian tightened her grip on the bank card and sneered, "...You're disgusting, and my mom is really unlucky."
After making a sarcastic remark, he chuckled and said, "You're so good to your stepdaughter, giving her 2 million just like that. Back when I was in school, I had to ask my grandparents for my tuition. But you, my guardian, told me you didn't have the money, that I shouldn't go to school this year, and that I could go next year since I'm still young. How ironic! Hehe!"
After You Niannian finished speaking, she went into the suite to change into her formal attire. Lan Yan glanced at the family of three, then went to change without saying a word.
"This necklace is unusable. We can only take out the loose stone and re-set it into a different style. We'll have someone make it later, and Sister-in-law can wear it every year. It's not expensive, so don't worry about it." Chu Yan told the manager to put the necklace away.
His statement that it wasn't expensive made the three men think he was even richer and more powerful!
Madam You originally wanted You Niannian to go over and have a chat, but when she saw Gu Yin's fairy-like appearance, she suddenly felt that her daughter was not good enough and it was better not to embarrass herself.
When You Niannian came out after changing into her dress, You Niannian immediately screamed, "The necklace you're wearing looks exactly like the broken one! That one is fake, isn't it! You lied to us!"
