But Xu Ru refused to let him go. "Leave? You broke my things and you want to leave? There's absolutely no such thing in this world."
As she spoke, she asked her maid to show her what she was holding, which was a rouge jar that looked very luxurious.
But right on the top of the jar, there was a very obvious gap, which could be roughly seen to have been caused by a bump.
"I'm not a petty person, so all you have to do is compensate me three times the price of this rouge jar and then apologize to me sincerely." Xu Ru said with a raised eyebrow.
You know, she and Shen Yao have always been at odds with each other, so much so that she would snort and walk around her whenever she saw her. Now that Shen Yao has come to her on her own initiative, she cannot afford to lose in momentum.
But despite this, Chen Yao remained calm and composed. She simply waved to the handsome, tall guard, letting him come over. Then she asked him softly, "Is what she said true?"
Immediately, Xu Ru saw the guard firmly shake his head and say, "The thing was broken by that lady's maid. She must have been so frightened when she almost bumped into me that she let go of the thing and dropped it. I was talking to the boss at the time and before I even turned around, I heard the jar rolling to the ground."
Chen Yao raised an eyebrow: "And then, they blackmailed you?"
Qi Yunxiao pursed his lips and said with difficulty: "That lady said that I don't look like I can afford to pay it back. If I can't afford it, then..."
Chen Yao: "Just what?"
Qi Yunxiao: "Just go with her."
Chen Yao: ???
No, you are kidnapping people in broad daylight?
"Xu Ru, what do you mean?" Chen Yao asked coldly.
Xu Ru was unwilling to admit this. She just bit the bullet and argued, "What he said is the truth? Chen Yao, seriously, you can't even afford to pay for a jar of rouge? Even though this jar of rouge is the most expensive one newly released by Shengyue Pavilion..."
Chen Yao interrupted her directly: "I don't want to hear so much from you. Now, I want you to apologize to my guards."
As she spoke, she gave Qi Yunxiao a look and asked him to call the store owner over.
Qi Yunxiao immediately took the order and hurried to call someone.
Xu Ru, however, didn't seem to be panicking at all. What could a small shopkeeper do to her? Even if someone showed up, they would only try to smooth things over and ease the atmosphere. They certainly wouldn't dare to tell the truth directly. Otherwise, they would offend her Xu family and lose face.
If the shop owner is not stupid, he will naturally know how to keep his mouth shut.
Besides, she brought guards with her today. If they really get up, who would be afraid of whom?
She just didn't believe that Chen Yao could defeat her?
"Xingfang, go and call Jifeng and Lie'an over." She said to the maid beside her.
In Xu Ru's eyes, Chen Yao stood there calmly, still looking unhurried and unhurried.
But in fact, Chen Yao had already quietly called out to the system: "System baby..."
"Host, I'm here~" the system said with a smile, "Do you want to do something? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Chen Yao cast her gaze towards Qi Yunxiao and the shop owner who were walking towards them, and instructed the system: "Help me find a prop that can make people tell the truth. I will need it soon."
The system immediately responded: "I'll go right away, please wait."
When Qi Yunxiao and the shop owner walked up to Chen Yao, the system just found the props and asked, "Host, do you want to use it now?"
Chen Yao nodded and asked it to use the props directly on the shop owner.
The system does so immediately.
"Hello, ladies. Is there any lack of service in our store? If so, let me apologize first." The store owner said politely, and glanced at Xu Ru silently, as if waiting for some hint from her.
Xu Ru only chuckled and said slowly, "It was Miss Shen who asked you to come here. What are you looking at me for? This Miss Shen is much more powerful than me."
The shop owner suddenly choked.
Chen Yao ignored Xu Ru's sarcasm and said to the shopkeeper calmly, "Just now, Miss Xu kept saying that my guard had damaged her things and asked my guard to compensate her for it. But according to my guard, he didn't damage Miss Xu's things at all, and he was standing there talking to you when the incident happened..."
Having said this, she paused for a moment before continuing, "So, I called you here for this very purpose. Now, tell me, is what my guard said true?"
Hearing this, a trace of confusion flashed across the shop owner's face. He first looked at Chen Yao, then at Xu Ru, his lips moving but he hesitated to speak.
Xu Ru reminded him in an ambiguous tone, "I believe you know what to say. Just tell me what the facts are. Besides, how could I possibly extort money from someone just for a rouge jar?"
Qi Yunxiao: ...
Chen Yao: ...
Who knows whether she wants to extort money or people.
The shop owner still looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Chen Yao was not in a hurry. After all, no matter how long he delayed, he would eventually speak.
As soon as he opens his mouth, the prop of telling the truth will take effect, and the truth will naturally be revealed.
