"Heh, really? I didn't even notice." Madam Ji's smile was extremely forced. "If it's fake, then just throw it away. It's worthless stuff anyway..."
As she spoke, Madam Ji picked up the jewelry box and was about to throw it into the trash can.
"Mom." Ji Zhinan pressed her hand and snatched the jewelry box back: "I just heard you spent tens of thousands on this thing. Although our family isn't short of money, we're not so kind as to give that much money to scammers. We have to get to the bottom of this. Let's go find the merchant and argue with them!"
As she spoke, she grabbed Madam Ji's hand and was about to leave when the latter turned pale with fright and quickly called out to stop her.
"etc!"
Ji Zhinan stopped and looked at her.
"...If it's fake, it's fake. Just consider it a lesson learned. Don't go."
"Mom, you can't think like that." Ji Zhinan lectured her sternly and righteously, "If we don't make a fuss this time, it will only embolden that swindler. What if he tries to scam others again? We have to nip this in the bud! Mom, which store did you buy it from? Do you still have the receipt? If not, we'll call the police..."
Mrs. Ji just picked up a cheap item for less than ten yuan at a street stall, so how could she possibly have an invoice? However, she did have one for the bracelet she bought for Ji Zhixia.
If things really escalate to the point of calling the police and checking the invoices, things will get really serious, and the old man will have no way of noticing all the little tricks I've been up to.
We finally managed to persuade the old man to let Xiaxia come home, and we absolutely cannot let anything else happen now.
"Nan Nan!" Madam Ji racked her brains to comfort Ji Zhi Nan: "Mom knows, Mom will handle this matter. You have your own things to do, so I won't trouble you."
She thought for a moment, then turned her head and looked at Ji Zhixia, who was touching her bracelet. She gritted her teeth and stepped forward to snatch the bracelet from Ji Zhixia's hand.
Ji Zhixia widened her eyes, wanting to speak, but was glared at by Madam Ji.
Mrs. Ji chuckled awkwardly and stuffed Ji Zhixia's bracelet into Ji Zhinan's hand: "Anyway, you two sisters each have one bracelet, it doesn't matter who gets this. You're the younger sister, and Xiaxia, as the older sister, has to set an example. If it doesn't work out, this one is for you first. Anyway, Mom has to take your sister to the hospital for a check-up in a couple of days, and we'll stop by a jewelry store on the way and buy her a new one."
Ji Zhinan stared at the bracelet that had been forcibly shoved into his hand.
Mrs. Ji is really good to Ji Zhixia. The diamonds on her bracelet are all large and high-quality. You definitely can't buy this for tens of thousands of yuan.
Mrs. Ji put the bracelet in her pocket and smiled. Ji Zhinan smiled back, "Since you put it that way, Mom, I won't stand on ceremony. Thank you for the gift, Mom."
Madam Ji tried her best to keep smiling: "Silly child, there's no need for thanks between mother and daughter. As long as you're happy."
Ji Zhinan's smile deepened.

ZN Chairman's Office —
Ji Zhinan leaned back in her boss's chair, crossed her legs, and held the diamond bracelet that Madam Ji had forced on her. She looked it over expressionlessly.
"Ding-dong—" The phone on the table vibrated; it was the notification sound of a text message.
Ji Zhinan picked up his phone and saw a notification that money had been deposited into his bank account.
[Your account received a deposit of 0.00 yuan on [date] at 13:14. Details...]
Upon seeing this text message, Ji Zhinan's lips curled into a slight smile.
It seems that Ms. Cao Nana chose to settle the matter privately by buying her own bag.
380,000 US dollars, which is exactly RMB, not a penny more or less.
