"Of course not, Miss Xu. Why would you think I'm joking with you? I'm seriously discussing compensation for this dress with you. Do you expect me to pay for my own errand?"
As Xu Xinchen spoke, she stared intently at Xu Yaxin: "Miss Xu, this dress of mine can't be bought everywhere. I bought it in my hometown, Qingyuan Town. I spent money on transportation to the town and then again on transportation back."
As Xu Xinchen was talking, she suddenly started counting on her fingers: "I've only worn this dress twice, and Miss Xu has already dirtied it. If I want to buy an identical one, the easiest way is to go back to that place and buy it again."
As she spoke, Xu Xinchen lowered her hand and stared intently at Xu Yaxin again: "Then the round-trip fare should naturally be borne by Miss Xu. At the same time, shouldn't Miss Xu also bear some responsibility for the fatigue I experienced on this journey?"
Fatigue should be charged? What kind of strange reason is that? Why has she never heard of it before? After hearing Xu Xinchen's words, Xu Yaxin's face immediately stiffened.
Although she didn't mind the small amount of money, the thought that it was for Xu Xinchen made her feel suffocated, and she wished she could slap herself a few times for offering to compensate him.
However, now that the words had already been spoken, Xu Yaxin naturally didn't have the face to take them back, so she could only ask with a heart full of resentment and unwillingness.
"Then... Miss Lu, how much do you need?"
Xu Xinchen is really furious right now. Anyone would be in a bad mood if a girl targeted them like this for no reason. She bluntly stated a number that could buy several dresses.
"The fare, the dress, and the compensation for fatigue will only cost you 1,000 yuan, Ms. Xu." Xu Xinchen's eyes were full of seriousness as she said this number.
People like Xu Yaxin should be taught a lesson so that they understand that not everyone is easy to mess with, and that before provoking others, they should consider whether they want to bear the consequences.
When Xu Yaxin heard the number 1000, a trace of resentment flashed through her heart. She was not short of money, but she did not want to give money to Lu Minshi for nothing!
"Miss Lu, aren't you going a bit too far? You just said this dress only costs 50 yuan, so why are you charging me 1000?"
Xu Xinchen had already guessed that Xu Yaxin would not give the money so readily, so he had prepared a whole bunch of reasons to persuade Xu Yaxin.
"Miss Xu, you have to be reasonable. If it were you, would you be willing to endure being jostled on a train for several days for 100 yuan?"
"I…"
Xu Yaxin opened her mouth as if to speak, but Xu Xinchen didn't give her the chance at all.
“I knew Miss Xu wouldn’t agree, and I feel the same way. It’s really not worth it to spend 100 yuan to buy several days of fatigue. But if I want to find another dress exactly the same, besides looking in the original place, wouldn’t it be more troublesome and laborious to look elsewhere?”
Xu Xinchen's attitude was extremely serious, as if she would absolutely not be satisfied until she got the money: "Now..."
"Since Miss Xu ruined my dress like this, washing it probably won't get it clean. I can't go out with this filth on, can I? So, isn't it perfectly normal for Miss Xu to resolve all the subsequent troubles in one go?"
As Xu Xinchen spoke, a look of sudden realization suddenly appeared on her face: "Or is it that Miss Xu said she wanted compensation, and I was just joking, and actually didn't want compensation at all?"
Xu Yaxin was speechless for a moment after being confronted by Xu Xinchen's words. She weakly opened her mouth as if to speak, but in the end, she couldn't say anything to refute him.
Xu Yaxin paused for a moment, then looked to the person next to her for help, wanting someone to speak up for her. However, she found that the foreign designers around them were looking at them with strange eyes.
Xu Yaxin suddenly realized that she and Xu Xinchen had been speaking in Mandarin, which was why the foreign designers couldn't understand them.
Now, even if she wanted to ask these foreign designers to speak on her behalf, there was no way. She couldn't possibly complain to these foreign designers in English in front of Xu Xinchen.
Upon arriving here, Xu Yaxin gritted her teeth in anger. She regretted her impulsive action earlier, as it not only prevented Xu Xinchen from making a fool of herself but also forced her to pay a large sum of money for no reason.
Xu Xinchen had been so angry with Xu Yaxin that she had temporarily forgotten about the foreign designers. Now that Xu Yaxin had turned her attention to them, Xu Xinchen realized what was happening and spoke to the foreign designers before Xu Yaxin could.
"I'm very sorry, everyone, but Ms. Xu and I need to discuss some private matters between us." Xu Xinchen's implication was very clear: since it was a private matter, she hoped that these foreign friends would refrain from inquiring about it.
Alright.
The foreign designers nodded in understanding. They respected everyone's privacy and naturally didn't press Xu Xinchen and Xu Yaxin about what they were talking about.
"Ms. Lu, Ms. Xu, please rest assured, we are definitely not the kind of people who gossip and will not pry into your private affairs. Besides, we don't understand what you are saying either. Please take your time to resolve this."
Xu Xinchen smiled slightly and waved to the foreign designers in a friendly manner: "Thank you all. Don't worry, we will resolve this matter soon."
Then Xu Xinchen turned her gaze back to Xu Yaxin and asked, "Ms. Xu, have you made up your mind? Can you give me the compensation now? I'm really in a hurry to deal with this set of clothes I'm wearing."
Seeing Xu Xinchen's smug and agreeable demeanor, Xu Yaxin was so angry that she almost ground her teeth to powder. At the same time, she glared at Xu Xinchen fiercely a few more times.
"Miss Lu..."
