Chapter 291: Falling into the Water and Changing Fate
Wei You made the phone call to complain.
Unexpectedly, Liang Baihao said: "Don't slander my fiancée anymore. I will always stand by her side!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Wei You cursed in his heart, "What an idiot!"
I regretted it right after I got engaged!
But she still didn't want Chu Yao to get engaged so smoothly.
After thinking it over, she bought a cup of coffee and held it in her hand.
When he saw Chu Yao coming out of the jewelry store, he bumped into her!
Crash!
The whole cup of coffee was poured directly onto Chu Yao's skirt, and the dark brown coffee stain instantly spread out on the hem of the skirt, leaving a glaring mark.
"Oh! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Wei You apologized quickly, his face full of panic. "I was so careless. I'm so sorry..."
Chu Yao looked down at her ruined skirt with a look of disappointment.
I shouldn't have had any expectations of her. I was holding it in for a long time and finally came up with this trick.
I thought she would make a big fuss about her identity, causing Liang Baihao to become suspicious and cancel the engagement...and this is the result?
What's the point of getting your skirt dirty? Just change it. You still have to attend the engagement party as usual.
Forget it, let’s put our hopes on Luan Jing.
"Of course I don't blame you." Chu Yao slowly took out an invoice from her handbag and handed it to Wei You, "Just compensate me according to the price."
Wei You was stunned. Invoice?
The socialites shared a dress together for one day, and they even asked her to keep the invoice?
She subconsciously took the invoice and looked at it carefully, but Chu Yao held the invoice further away: "Just look at it like this, otherwise what if you damage my invoice?"
Wei You curled his lips, making it seem like it was real.
She leaned in closer to see the numbers.
"One million and eight hundred thousand?!" Her voice rose involuntarily. "Are you kidding me? This invoice is fake, right?"
Chu Yao smiled: "Then I will call the police. The police station here in Rongyu is very different from that in Fengpu... You will either go to jail here or be deported back to go to jail..."
Wei You's face turned slightly pale. Rongyu Island was a place where the emperor was far away and the laws here were independent. If a lawsuit really came to pass, where would her parents find legal connections here?
Wei You shouted anxiously: "It was just an accident! I didn't do it on purpose!"
"Accident?" Chu Yao smiled and turned to the jewelry store clerk and said, "You have a surveillance camera at the door, right? Can you help me adjust it? I can see if she threw it on purpose or it was an accident."
The clerk smiled and replied, "You are our VIP customer. Of course we can help you adjust the surveillance."
She immediately took out the pad that could connect to the surveillance camera and clicked on the surveillance video.
The picture clearly captured Wei You deliberately spilling coffee. The action was so deliberate that it couldn't be more deliberate, his hair was raised up!
Wei You froze completely, and all the color drained from his face.
The staff at such a high-end jewelry store treat Chu Yao like this, she is definitely not a fake socialite.
Chu Yao said those words in the bathroom on purpose, she was fooled!
Chu Yao said lightly: "Give me money or should I call the police?"
You definitely can't call the police. Wei You came here with a tourist visa, which allows him to stay for only seven days. If he doesn't look back, he really won't be able to go back.
But 1.8 million is too expensive. Wei You's face darkened for a long time and he said, "Why do you want me to compensate you at the original price? You've been wearing this skirt for a long time, right? It's depreciated!"
Chu Yao took out the receipt again: "I just bought it this morning, you want to talk to me about depreciation?"
She seemed to be getting annoyed again and put away the receipt and invoice. "Forget it, my time is precious. I'm calling the police."
Wei You immediately became timid and started acting out a heartbreaking scene. Tears immediately welled up in his eyes as he looked at Chu Yao pleadingly, "Please let me go this time, considering our life-or-death relationship. I was wrong. Please, although my family is not short of money, I really don't have 1.8 million in liquid funds. Please..."
Chu Yao dialed the police number without changing her expression. She then turned back to the jewelry store clerk and said, "Please ask two security guards to keep an eye on her first, so she doesn't run away before the police arrive."
Seeing that she was unmoved by his persuasion, Wei You had no choice but to say, "I'll pay! I'll pay, okay?"
Chu Yao's hand paused on the dial button: "Pay quickly."
Wei You didn't have that much money on him, so he quickly called home to tell his parents that he had damaged someone else's property while traveling and would go to jail if he didn't pay for it.
Her parents scolded her, but still transferred the money.
Chu Yao also received compensation quickly.
She looked at Wei You's ashen face and smiled slightly: "Are you particularly curious about how I changed my fate?"
Wei You really wanted to know.
Chu Yao confessed, "My mother remarried Luan Zhengrong, a high-ranking official in Baijiang Province, but I had originally agreed with her that I wouldn't follow her. But your sister and I had an accident where we fell into the water, and I almost died."
"My mother brought me to this high-end sanatorium for my treatment. I survived a great disaster and was blessed with good fortune. I went from being broke to being rich."
"I don't know if the fall into the water was an accident or intentional. If it was intentional, I really want to thank the person who caused it."
Wei You's eyes were bloodshot, his teeth were clenched, and the muscles on his cheeks were shaking.
Chu Yao didn't know whether her reaction was regret or anger?
She went on to say, "Baijiang Province has developed rapidly in recent years, all thanks to his vigorous efforts to attract investment. What's the first thing businessmen do when they come to Baijiang? Of course, they give him money. That's why he's so rich."
"Your Xu family caused my ancestors to be destroyed. Now I have my back to a big tree. When I return to Fengpu, I will continue to mess with your Xu family!"
Wei You's face was pale and he looked at Chu Yao deeply for a long time.
In the end, he said nothing and turned and left.
Chu Yao really hoped that after her showing off and suppressing him today, Wei You would immediately expose her ugly face as the "stepdaughter of a high-ranking official" after returning to Fengpu.
At that time, some leaders with a keen sense of smell will come across the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and come to this "financial safe island" where the East and the West meet to conduct an investigation.
But I feel this is unlikely...
Wei You's stance and values are different from those of normal people.
If her enemies were from the public, they would definitely spread the news that "the stepdaughter of a high-ranking official is covered in luxury goods", which would be a heavy blow to her.
But Wei You would probably just think that publicizing her wealth and power would only boost others' morale and undermine her own prestige, and she would probably try to conceal it.
Suddenly, a man walked towards her.
Chu Yao looked up and saw that the driver who came to pick her up had arrived.
After getting in the car, the driver did not take her back to the villa immediately, but instead took her to a square with a lot of people.
Chu Yao looked outside and asked, "What are you doing here?"
The driver stopped the car and turned to Chu Yao and said, "Ms. Chu, Mr. Liang has prepared a surprise for you before the engagement party tonight. I hope you can get out of the car and take a look."
