"This is for you to calm your nerves. I don't know if you'll like it."
Suya has many pieces of jewelry like this, all sent to her by Penny Dai. Every time the company releases a new product, they send her one. However, Bai Xiao's piece was specially modified by Suya—a small anti-counterfeiting mark was added, though Suya didn't tell her about it.
Bai Xiao opened the bracelet, revealing a shining platinum bracelet, sparkling and incredibly dazzling.
Shining's products are not cheap; a single item can cost at least tens of thousands of dollars.
Bai Xiao's family is considered quite wealthy.
However, you can't just give away a Shining bracelet as a gift.
Moreover, the reason this bracelet is so sparkly is because it has a ring of tiny diamonds.
Although Bai Xiao liked it very much, she also knew that Ya Jie's gift to calm her nerves was too expensive.
then
"Sister Ya, this gift is too expensive, I can't accept it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a fair hand reached out.
"Wow, this bracelet is so beautiful. Sister Ya, if Bai Xiao doesn't want it, could you give it to me? I love it so much."
It was Lin Shan who spoke.
Su Ya said, "Since Bai Xiao doesn't like it, Lin Shan, you can take it if you like it."
After hearing this, Lin Shan pretended to take it.
Bai Xiao thought to herself, "This is terrible!"
They quickly protected it. They even pounced on it and surrounded it, like a mother guarding her food, saying, "No, this was given to me by Sister Ya. You can't take it."
Lin Shan laughed heartily.
"He said he didn't want it, but now he's protecting it."
Bai Xiao then realized that Lin Shan was joking with her.
"Lin Shan, you..."
"I'm telling you, if you like something, you should hold on to it. If you don't hold on tight, it will belong to someone else."
"Thank you, Sister Ya."
Bai Xiao stopped being coy and said she really loved the necklace.
This matter can be considered to be over.
Su Ya didn't mind what Shi Yun had done.
She believed the school would handle the execution properly.
However, Bai Xiao's parents will not let her off easily.
Killing someone in Kyoto wouldn't be easy for the Bai family, but bringing down a company like Caks is no small feat.
After Bai's father had his assistant investigate the Shi family and learned that their main business was clothing, he discovered that they were involved in the business.
Although the Bai family's main business is not clothing, they still have the capability to acquire a similar company.
So Bai's father acquired a clothing company and started a price war with the Shi family.
Soon, the Shi family was severely suppressed, and many of their clothes became moldy in the warehouse.
Lu Yichen also heard the whole story from Bai Xiao.
How dare they disturb the sacred site? They must have a death wish.
It's just a small, run-down company. There are companies like that everywhere in Kyoto. I don't know where they get their sense of pride.
The Lu family doted on Lu Yichen very much.
So Lu Yichen said one thing.
A bunch of his men were eager to do the job, and they quickly set a trap for the Shi family.
They designed and ordered a batch of goods, which was a godsend for the Shi family, who were currently in dire straits. The Bai family had inexplicably squeezed them, leaving their warehouses overflowing with inventory. This was their best chance to turn things around, but the cost of breaching the contract was high; the compensation alone could bankrupt the Shi family. Yet, the Shi family had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the order.
The factory was working overtime, 24 hours a day in three shifts, just to finish the goods the day before the deadline. But after the batch was completed, a sudden downpour caused the sealed warehouse to flood. All the clothing was soaked and ruined.
If the goods cannot be delivered, a penalty for breach of contract must be paid.
And the exorbitant penalty for breach of contract.
The Shi family had no choice but to go bankrupt.
Before this, Shang Hui must have reminded her father to find another job as soon as possible.
The father was completely obedient to his daughter.
So he had already left before Shi Yun's father's company went bankrupt.
There was no loss.
The companies that had been cooperating with the Shi family suffered greatly. With the Shi family bankrupt, those debt collectors had nowhere to turn to collect their debts.
There were also the workers from the Shi family.
Every day, they drag Hengfu along to collect debts, and you know the New Year is just around the corner!
These people are just waiting to bring their hard-earned money home so that their families can have a good New Year.
Father Shi still had some conscience.
They sold their property and belongings to pay off their debts and pay the workers their hard-earned wages.
The Shi family moved from their large four-bedroom, two-living-room house to a small, dilapidated two-bedroom, one-living-room house.
Six people were crammed into the room.
Looking at the cramped house, Mr. Shi looked up at the ceiling and thought, "What have I done to deserve such a disaster?"
Even God didn't answer him.
The school has officially announced that Shi Yun has been expelled for spreading rumors.
This situation is also inevitably influenced by pressure from Lu Yichen and Bai's father.
Mr. Shi was a smart man. Although he had suffered this misfortune, he thought that with his abilities, making a comeback would not be a problem. He would start from scratch, just like before, starting with a street stall.
He believed that he would eventually succeed.
The Shi family originally ran a clothing business, starting by selling goods at street stalls, then opening their own shops, and later starting a company and building factories.
But when Mr. Shi contacted his old connections and asked them for help in making a comeback...
People avoided him as if they were afraid of having anything to do with him.
He searched and searched, but the person was clearly in the office, yet his secretary told him that he wasn't there.
And this has happened repeatedly.
Father Shi became somewhat suspicious.
So they dragged this person along and that person along, trying to find out the reason.
Finally, someone couldn't bear to tell him and told him to go to the Bai and Lu families.
When Shi's father heard about the Bai family, he was relieved. But then he discovered that the Lu family had also gotten involved. Everyone knew that above the four great families of Kyoto were the eight great families of Kyoto, and the Lu family was one of them.
After making some inquiries, Mr. Shi learned what had happened at school that day and that all the consequences were caused by his daughter.
then
When Mr. Shi learned the truth, he angrily returned to the dilapidated little house and saw his daughter standing there, still in good condition, whining to her mother for this and that. Mr. Shi angrily walked up to her and slapped his daughter hard.
Immediately, a bright red five-finger mark appeared on the daughter's fair face.
It's their fault for raising their daughter like this; she doesn't know how to read people's expressions or analyze her environment.
Father Shi was filled with hatred.
But Shi Yun didn't know why his father hit him.
He cried and shouted, asking his father.
"Dad, why did you hit me? What did I do wrong?"
Hearing this, Mr. Shi became even angrier. He no longer held back, slapping his daughter hard across the other side of her face.
"Why did I hit you? Do you know who caused this mess in our family? Of all people to mess with, you had to provoke the Lu and Bai families. Don't even mention we can't afford to offend the Bai family; the Lu family could kill you like an ant with a flick of their wrist. How could I have given birth to a daughter like you? Are you happy now? You've ruined the whole family. Are you particularly smug?"
