The saleswoman slowly pointed to a small notice posted next to her.
Su Ningshuang and Su Ling'er looked at the same time and saw four inconspicuous words written on the small notice: "One loss, ten compensations!"
For every item damaged, you must pay ten times the amount!
"Tenfold compensation?! Are you out of your minds?!"
Su Ling'er retorted and questioned:
"Besides, it was clearly you who let go of the jade bracelet before handing it to me, which caused it to break. How come you're putting all the blame on me?"
"You guys are outrageous."
"I've never heard of having to compensate for ten items."
Su Ningshuang spoke in a similarly cold tone.
Regardless of whose responsibility it was for the jade bracelet breaking, even if it was Ling'er's fault for accidentally breaking it, they could simply buy it back at the original price. The shopkeeper wouldn't suffer any loss, and they would accept that.
But the other party is demanding ten times the amount in compensation right off the bat—what kind of logic is that?!
Why should they have to pay so much in compensation?
"What, you're trying to renege on your debt?!"
"What do you mean by defaulting on a debt? This is very unreasonable, and we will naturally argue about it."
"Heh, I think you're just trying to renege on your debt. You broke our things and you don't intend to compensate us. How ridiculous."
The saleswoman immediately started arguing with Su Ling'er, showing no politeness whatsoever.
"What's wrong?"
Just then, a plump middle-aged woman, accompanied by two burly men with fierce-looking faces, came out from inside.
After they came out, the two burly men with fierce faces stared at Su Ningshuang and Su Ling'er, looking like they were not to be trifled with.
"Boss, you're out. It's like this, those two women just smashed our..."
Upon seeing the middle-aged woman come out, the saleswoman immediately stepped forward and told her what had just happened.
"You're the owner here, I think we should..."
Su Ningshuang spoke up, wanting to have a serious talk with the boss.
"No need to talk. You broke a jade bracelet in our store, so you have to pay ten times the price in compensation. That's our store's rule."
The middle-aged woman showed no interest in chatting with the two men, giving a direct and decisive reply that left no room for negotiation.
"What if we don't pay?!"
Su Ling'er questioned.
"No compensation?"
The female boss sneered, then gave the two burly men with fierce faces a look.
Two burly men with fierce faces immediately stepped forward and blocked the shop entrance, making it clear that they wouldn't let Su Ningshuang and her companions leave until they paid compensation.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the store became extremely tense!
