Chapter 969 I'll Take Responsibility (Part 2)
Li Cheng's eyes fell on her dirty skirt.
"It should be washable, right? If not, I'll pay for it."
The girl giggled. "I don't know if it will work. This skirt of mine was custom-made by Y. It costs 5,000 yuan."
If he can't afford to compensate her, she can forgive him for being a "good friend" to her.
When Li Cheng heard the number 5,000 yuan, he frowned slightly. Even for him, this was a considerable sum of money.
"Qianqian, what's going on?"
At this time, Sun You and Ye Yao also came over.
The girl repeated what she had just said.
Ye Yao looked at Li Cheng and Yang Xue.
He almost subconsciously protected her behind him, as if the girl in front of him was some kind of monster.
"Qianqian, we are all friends. I apologize to you on behalf of Yang Xue. Butler!"
As soon as Sun You finished speaking, the butler immediately understood what he meant.
Soon he came over with an exquisite jewelry box and handed it directly to the girl.
"Since Young Master Sun has said so, I certainly won't argue with the little girl."
She agreed, but took the box without hesitation and opened it in front of everyone.
When I saw that there was a diamond necklace inside, I smiled instantly.
It is obvious that the price of this necklace is higher than the skirt she is wearing.
"Young Master Sun, how can I accept such an expensive gift?"
Even though I like it very much, I still have to be reserved.
"Take it. We are all friends. We should be happy today. There is no need to let such trivial matters affect our mood."
Sun You's tone was completely nonchalant.
The girl immediately stopped talking.
The problem was solved, but Li Cheng's face tightened.
Soon the people around them dispersed, leaving only a few of them.
"Master Sun, since it was my cousin who accidentally caused the trouble, how can I let Master Sun suffer the loss? How much is the necklace?"
"Li Cheng, aren't you being too polite? Besides, I have a lot of these things. You guys came here for me, so no matter what happens, it's my responsibility.
Ye Yao, what do you think? "
Sun You said it as a matter of course and deliberately asked Ye Yao.
He also knew about Li Cheng's situation: being the chief editor of a newspaper and a university professor. Although it did sound good, his income was completely incomparable to theirs.
"Since it is Young Master Sun's intention, it is of course difficult to refuse."
Ye Yao actually agreed with Sun You's statement.
Li Cheng's expression turned a bit ugly. "You know, I never like to owe favors to others."
"If that's the case, how about I make a request? I'd like to trouble Designer Ye to personally make a set of clothes for me, and today's matter will be settled, okay?"
It was clearly Li Cheng who was speaking, but Sun You asked Ye Yao directly.
Li Cheng's heart sank.
"Can."
But Ye Yao didn't even give him a chance to speak and agreed.
Li Cheng's mood was extremely bad now.
"It's getting late, Yaoyao, let's go back."
There is no need to stay here anymore.
"The dinner is just about to start. My father also wants to meet Ye Yao later. Why don't we finish the meal before leaving?"
Sun You directly "lifted" the elder out, and it was obvious that he wanted to keep Ye Yao.
Li Cheng's eyes were deep and unfathomable. If he insisted on taking her away now, it would be disrespectful to his elders.
But he didn't want to stay at all.
"In that case, you guys go back first."
Ye Yao seemed to see his dilemma and took the initiative to signal that he wanted to stay.
Li Cheng didn't say a word.
Yang Xue quickly followed in his footsteps.
"Ye Yao, did I do something wrong just now? Or did I say something wrong? Why does he suddenly seem unhappy?"
Sun You stood next to Ye Yao, watching the two of them leave with her, and couldn't help but say something deliberately.
Ye Yao retracted his gaze and turned to look at him, his eyes indescribably cold.
"You really don't know?"
Sun You obviously didn't expect that she would expose him so directly. After a moment of embarrassment, he burst into laughter.
"I'm doing this for his own good. You should know the price of the dress Qianqian is wearing better than anyone else.
Do we really have to ask him to compensate immediately?
I'm afraid he can't come up with such a large sum of money.
Isn't this done to make everyone less embarrassed? "
Perhaps before this, even they themselves did not realize how big the gap between them was.
He was just helping Li Cheng to face the reality.
"But isn't he too concerned about that cousin? Are they really cousins?"
Sun You expressed his doubts.
This is not to sow discord between them, but as a man, he really feels this way.
Sure enough, Ye Yao didn't say a word...
…
"Cousin, should I really not come here today?"
The moment she walked out of the villa door, Yang Xue almost burst into tears.
She really caused him too much trouble today.
It was she herself who was unable to recognize the reality. This kind of place was not the place she should come to.
"Don't think too much, you didn't mean it."
Li Cheng comforted her, even though he himself was in a very unhappy mood.
Yang Xue looked at his tense profile. Although he told her that it was okay, he was obviously very angry now.
I felt even more uneasy.
"Cousin, I will never come to a place like this again. I feel like they and I are from two completely different worlds.
A skirt costs 5,000 yuan, which is seven or eight years' income in our rural area.
And that Young Master Sun, he actually gave away such a valuable necklace just like that.
The kind of life they lead is something I wouldn’t even dare to dream of.”
At the end, she couldn't help but sigh that today was really an eye-opener for her.
Li Cheng's eyes flickered slightly.
Yes, now a skirt made by Yao Yao can be sold for 5,000 yuan, and it is still in short supply and has a high price.
And this was his income for nearly a year.
Although he has never been a person who underestimates himself, what happened tonight still made him feel indescribably frustrated and lost.
"Cousin, are we really not going to wait for cousin's wife?"
Yang Xue realized that he didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, so she stopped talking.
He must have brought her out because of her, fearing that she would feel uncomfortable if she continued to stay there, but he left Ye Yao alone.
I don't know if she will be angry?
Li Cheng paused for a moment and sighed, "It's okay, she can take care of herself."
