The emerald green bracelet fell out of the box and shattered onto the ground.
He Ergu didn't expect that the things in the box would fall out. was startled.
The others also looked shocked.
The scene suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
Lou Yuchen glanced down at the broken bracelet on the ground, then looked at Qiu Shui and said calmly, "Isn't this the imperial green bracelet worth 10 million?"
This bracelet was one of the apology gifts given to Qiu Shui by the Changzhou couple when they were in the water town.
When it was delivered, perhaps because I was in too much of a hurry, there was also an auction price list and appraisal certificate in the bracelet box.
Generally, people who wear this kind of jade bracelet are women. Men basically don't wear it.
So, after Qiu Shui received the bracelet, he put it in the bottom of his box.
This time when I came back to Yangcheng, I brought it back with me.
Qiu Shui pretended to look distressed and said, "Yes, it's the imperial green bracelet worth 10 million. I originally intended to give it to Shuanzi and Xiaoping as an engagement gift."
"A bracelet worth 10 million?"
Fifth Uncle and Qiu Daqing suddenly sat up from their chairs.
The He family members were also filled with astonishment.
When He Ergu heard that the bracelet that she accidentally dropped on the ground and broke into pieces was actually worth 10 million.
His face changed immediately.
She suddenly threw the box in her hand onto the table.
"What kind of bracelet is worth 10 million? It's just a broken bracelet. I'm telling you, don't try to blackmail me."
"Blackmail you?" Qiu Shui sneered, "I don't have that much time to blackmail you. I have already reminded you just now. The things in this box are very valuable. I told you not to open it. But you didn't listen. You even broke the things inside. Since you broke the things, I would trouble you to pay 10 million yuan as compensation."
"You're crazy. You want me to pay you 10 million just for this broken bracelet? Do you think I'm some country bumpkin who has no knowledge and will let you blackmail me?"
"Besides, you are just a peasant, how can you afford to give a bracelet worth 10 million? Don't you think people will laugh at you if you tell them that?"
When she saw the broken bracelet, He Ergu was actually a little panicked.
Although my second uncle now has a net worth of over 100 million.
However, the so-called hundreds of millions are just the company's market value.
In fact, their company's annual profit is only a few million.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that He Ergu and her family of three are now wearing all branded clothes and driving luxury cars worth millions.
However, the family’s savings are actually not that much.
The items I see most often are some mid-range luxury items.
He Ergu doesn't understand things like high-end jewelry and jade.
So I don’t understand what the imperial green bracelet that Lou Yuchen mentioned means.
My second uncle-in-law has been out doing business for many years and has a wide range of experience.
Of course I understand what the imperial green bracelet means.
His eyelids twitched as he looked at the shattered jade debris on the ground.
I thought it was impossible. How could a country boy like me produce an imperial green jade bracelet?
Like He Ergu, Liu Tao usually just eats and drinks with some bad friends.
No knowledge either.
When I heard Qiu Shui actually say that a bracelet would cost 10 million, my first reaction was the same as He Ergu's.
They just felt that Qiu Shui was blackmailing them.
"Qiu Shui, right? Let me tell you, I've seen a lot of people like you who try to extort money. You dare to ask for 10 million for a broken bracelet, aren't you afraid of dying of starvation? Do you believe that I will call the police right now and sue you for fraud and extortion?"
"Okay, call the police." Qiu Shui was not afraid. He even wished that Liu Tao and the others would call the police.
"I thought you were quite knowledgeable, but you are not as knowledgeable as us peasants. If you don't know what an imperial green bracelet is, please check it online. I remind you that this is a full-green imperial green jadeite bracelet."
Qiu Shui deliberately asked the bodyguard to get this bracelet.
He also deliberately asked his bodyguard to place the bracelet flat in the box.
If Second Aunt hadn't snatched the box, if she hadn't made such a big move when she opened it.
There is no chance that the bracelet will fall out.
If the box successfully fell into He Ping's hands, He Ping would definitely not be as rude and casual as He Ergu.
When you open the box, be very careful.
The bracelet will naturally not fall out.
Even if the bracelet falls out at that time, Qiu Shui can find an excuse to cover up the matter of the bracelet. Give He Ping and her family a new engagement gift.
Although he set a trap, if He Ergu had not snatched the box, none of this would have happened.
Since the bracelet was broken, Qiu Shui certainly wouldn't let them go.
Although the bracelet was given by someone else, it is worth 10 million and is real.
Seeing Qiu Shui so confident and calm.
He Ergu and Liu Tao felt a jolt in their hearts.
He Ergu whispered to Liu Tao, "Son, quickly check the Internet to see how much this imperial green jadeite bracelet costs."
Liu Tao immediately took out his cell phone. He was shocked when he checked it.
Imperial green bracelets cost at least seven figures.
Moreover, the price of a bracelet made of imperial green basically starts at seven million.
There are many good quality full green bracelets that are indeed priced as high as eight figures.
Therefore, when Qiu Shui said that the value was 10 million, he really did not exaggerate the price.
"Mom, this imperial green bracelet is really worth ten million."
Liu Tao put the phone in front of He Ergu and asked her to see the price clearly.
When He Ergu saw the price, she took a deep breath.
My second uncle also took out his mobile phone to check, and he knew in his heart that this imperial green bracelet was not cheap.
Unexpectedly, it is actually worth eight figures.
The He family members nearby also took out their mobile phones and checked the prices.
"Hiss..." He Ping's brother He Chao also took a breath after seeing the price above.
"What do you think, son? Is that bracelet really that expensive?" When Mother He heard He Ping say that Qiu Shui spent more than three million on clothes in their store, she was extremely shocked.
Now when I heard Qiu Shui say that the bracelet was worth 10 million, my legs almost went weak.
So, when I saw He Chao checking online, I immediately wanted to know the answer.
Father He standing by was also very anxious, "Son, what happened? Tell me!"
"A full-green imperial green jadeite bracelet of good quality is indeed worth tens of millions." He Chao moved his gaze from his phone to Qiu Shui in shock.
Who is this guy? Why did he give a bracelet worth 10 million to his sister and brother-in-law as an engagement gift?
You have to be a very wealthy person to be able to come up with this!
"What? Is it really worth 10 million?"
Mr. and Mrs. He exclaimed in unison.
He Ping covered her mouth with her hands, her face full of horror.
When Qiu Shuanzi heard that the bracelet Qiu Shui gave him was really worth ten million, he was also shocked.
In addition to shock, there was also heartache on the faces of Fifth Uncle and Qiu Daqing.
A bracelet worth ten million was broken by He Ergu.
No matter who it is, it will be heartbreaking!
For ordinary people like them, they may not be able to earn 10 million in their entire life.
"Okay, now that we know the price of this bracelet, let's talk about compensation."
Qiu Shui stared at He Ergu with dark eyes, "Ten million, do you want to pay in cash or transfer it?"
He Ergu said with a guilty conscience, "What...what compensation? Who knows if your bracelet is real or fake? Maybe you are just using a fake bracelet to cheat people. With your condition, can you afford a bracelet worth 10 million? I can see that the bracelet is fake. You want to use a fake bracelet to cheat people out of money."
That's right, this bracelet is definitely fake.
How could a country bumpkin like me afford an imperial green jade bracelet worth ten million?
As for what He Ping said just now, that Qiu Shui spent more than three million to buy the clothes in their store, it must be a lie.
He Ergu couldn't believe that Qiu Shui was so rich.
The second uncle-in-law at the side also had a gloomy face and said, "Young man, even if the imperial green jade bracelet is worth 10 million, it has nothing to do with your bracelet. Just like my wife said, how do you prove that your bracelet is real? Without proof, we will not recognize it."
Ten million! His company only makes tens of millions at most in a year.
The company has been going downhill in the past two years.
Last year, the company's net profit was only seven million.
Ten million is not a small amount of money for them.
Although he claims to be worth hundreds of millions, he knows exactly how much water there is in it.
Therefore, as long as there is no evidence to prove that the bracelet is worth 10 million, they will not compensate you no matter what.
Lou Yuchen glanced at his second uncle coldly and said, "The evidence is in the box. There is a price list from the auction house and a certificate. You can take it out and have a look."
Second uncle immediately took the box in front of Second Aunt.
I saw that on the inside of the front lid of the box, there was indeed a folded piece of paper and a small certificate.
The second uncle took out the certificate and took a look at it. The certificate proved that the bracelet was indeed A-grade, a full-green imperial green jadeite bracelet.
Take another look at the auction price list.
It only recorded in detail the time, place, and price of the bracelet's auction. There are also the names of three appraisers.
The price of the bracelet is 10.5 million.
In other words, Qiu Shui underreported the amount by 50,000 yuan.
My second uncle usually goes out to discuss business, so he has gained a lot of experience.
As soon as he looked at the auction price list and then at the bracelet debris on the ground, he knew that the bracelet was probably real.
"What's wrong? Is that bracelet fake?" He Ergu asked anxiously.
"Yes, Dad, please speak!"
Liu Tao also looked anxious.
Why do you take so long to look at this piece of paper?
The second uncle didn't say anything, but just glared at He Ergu with resentment.
"It's real." Then he slammed the auction house's price list on the table.
"impossible."
He Ergu picked up the auction price list on the table, and when she saw that the auction price was marked as 10.5 million Chinese yuan, her face suddenly turned pale.
"It's fake. This thing must be fake."
He Ergu actually tore up the price list of the auction.
"What are you doing? Stop it." After seeing this, Qiu Shuanzi immediately stood up, ran over and tried to stop it.
However, He Ergu had already torn the paper into pieces and threw it directly into the oil dish in front of her.
Qiu Shuanzi quickly reached out and took the paper out of the oil dish.
However, the torn pieces of paper, soaked in the soy sauce in the oil dish, blurred into a large lump.
I can't see any of the words above clearly.
He Ping and He Chao both ran over to check.
After seeing that the words were no longer clear, He Ping pursed her lips and said, "The words are not clear anymore, so it's useless even if I put them together."
"Damn it." After seeing this, Qiu Shuanzi angrily yelled at He Ergu, "How could you do this?"
"I just like doing this, what's wrong with that?" After seeing that the words on it could not be seen clearly, He Ergu raised her chin smugly and smiled at Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen.
"Now that you don't have this list, what evidence do you have to prove that the bracelet I broke is worth more than 10 million?"
"Mom, you're awesome." Liu Tao gave He Ergu a thumbs up. His mother's operation was simply amazing.
Without that piece of paper, what does it matter even if the bracelet is really worth 10 million?
Even if they called the police. Since they couldn't prove the bracelet's value, they didn't have to pay compensation.
My mother's operation can directly save 10 million.
The second uncle didn't expect that his wife would be so brave.
Although this method is a bit insidious.
But it’s a good idea indeed.
The second uncle looked at the piece of paper in Qiu Shuanzi's hand that was soaked in soy sauce and turned into a mess, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
He said to Qiu Shui, "Young man, I'm so sorry. My wife accidentally damaged that kind of paper. Don't worry, we will definitely compensate her for what she damaged. However, you have to give us a proof of how much compensation you want. Otherwise, we won't be able to compensate you."
"Second sister, brother-in-law, please don't go too far." Father He finally couldn't help it and slammed the table and stood up.
"Too much? Brother, we are just being realistic. They have no way of proving that the bracelet is worth 10 million. Why should they ask us for compensation?"
He Ergu felt that she had destroyed the evidence and now had nothing to fear.
"Haha." Qiu Shui was really amused by their stupidity.
A rare smile appeared on Lou Yuchen's expressionless face, making his already eye-catching face even more dazzling.
"What are you laughing at?" The second uncle saw ridicule in the two men's eyes.
Qiu Shui glanced at Lou Yuchen and said, "Achen, tell them what we are laughing at."
Lou Yuchen picked up the phone on the table and said, "We are laughing at your stupidity. I have recorded what you said just now."
After saying that, Lou Yuchen pointed to the surveillance camera on the upper left side of the private room and said, "There is another surveillance camera there."
The implication is that you cannot escape responsibility at all.
"You actually recorded it?" He Ergu was shocked, and then quickly glanced at the surveillance camera behind her. Damn it, she didn’t even notice the existence of the surveillance camera.
"You can cheat, so why can't we record it? Oh, there's one more thing I want to remind you. Even if you tear up that sheet and soak it, it's useless. This bracelet was sold at an auction house, so the auction house has archived it."
The smile on Qiu Shui's face quickly disappeared.
"If you don't want to compensate according to the original price, I don't mind going to the police station with you. Ten million. I think some journalists in City B should be very interested in this matter."
The three members of the He family's second aunt's family not only despise the poor and love the rich, but also seem to be very concerned about their reputation.
If this matter were to be exposed, the three of them would become famous in City B.
"You dare..." He Ergu didn't expect that she was actually threatening them.
"You can try it, I dare you."
Qiu Shui is a very stingy person. They cheated Fifth Uncle out of a bottle of wine worth more than 100,000 yuan. Then Qiu Shui will make them pay compensation a hundred or a thousand times.
And from the moment they came in, this family of three had been humiliating them in various ways.
If they are not taught a lesson, others will think that they are easy to bully.
The He family will also look down on them.
When the second uncle saw Qiu Shui's expression, he knew that he would definitely dare to say and do what he said.
They are at a disadvantage now, and they absolutely cannot confront the other side head-on. They are the ones who suffer the consequences.
The second uncle looked at He's father, "Brother-in-law..."
The second uncle wanted to use He's father to persuade Qiu Shui and others.
However, Mr. He was already so angry that his heart ached because of the behavior of the three of them just now.
Father He also realized that the three of them came here just to ruin his daughter's marriage.
Otherwise, how could he insult the Qiu family and also cheat the Qiu family?
What this family of three did just now has made He's father feel disappointed with them.
And the bracelet just now had already reminded Qiu Shui of his sister. His sister insisted on seeing it. His actions were so rough, and it was obvious that he wanted to destroy the contents of the box.
After breaking the bracelet, not only did he not apologize to the person, he also destroyed the other person's evidence. Trying to escape compensation.
This is no longer a simple question of whether or not to compensate. That's a character problem.
In the past, He's father only thought that his sister was just a little too vain and liked to show off her wealth.
He is a good person.
But after what happened just now, Dad He was extremely disappointed with his sister.
This brother-in-law is not a good person either.
So, when he saw his second uncle calling him, He's father interrupted him directly.
"Don't call me. If you break someone else's things, you have to compensate them. I tell you, even if this matter goes to the police station, I will testify for Qiu Shui and the others."
Mother He was originally afraid that Father He would be soft-hearted and help Second Aunt He and the others.
After all, when He Ergu and the others came to the house and acted arrogantly, He's father never said a harsh word.
So He's mother thought that He's father would also help them this time, but she didn't want to do that. Because of this incident, He Ergu and her family went too far.
Moreover, this time it also involves a compensation of 10 million.
Ten million! Even if they sold the building and the two shops in their town, they would still not have ten million.
Mother He will not allow Father He to help them again after losing his mind.
Unexpectedly, this time, He's father did not help He Ergu and the others.
He even made it clear that he wanted to stand on the side of the Qiu family.
Mother He couldn't help but laugh and looked at Aunt He and the others.
As expected, He Ergu exploded.
"Brother, I am your biological sister. How can you turn your back on me and help these outsiders?"
But He's father said, "I stand for justice, not relatives. Besides, when you slandered my son-in-law and his family just now, did you think of me as your elder brother?"
"That's right. When you, Second Aunt, insulted the Qiu family just now, you didn't treat us as your relatives. Besides, this incident was your fault in the first place. You broke other people's things, so of course you have to compensate them at the original price." He Chao never liked Second Aunt's family, but he had to tolerate them because he thought they were his father.
Now that his father has fallen out with them, He Chao is of course happy to support his father.
"That's right. That bracelet was an engagement gift from Big Brother Qiushui to Shuanzi and me, but you snatched it away and broke it into pieces. And you knew Shuanzi's family was not well off, but you still cheated him and ordered such expensive wine. Do you treat my niece as a relative?"
He Ping was really fed up with her second aunt's family.
She now wished she would never have to associate with their family again.
It’s better not to have relatives like this.
"Okay, you are rebelling. He Guangzu, you want to sever ties with my sister, right?" He Ergu's face was ferocious, she gritted her teeth, and glared at He's father viciously.
After hearing what He Ergu said, the second uncle immediately grabbed her and said, "Wife, what are you talking about? That's not what my elder brother and the others meant. My elder brother, she was just angry and that's why she said that. Don't take it to heart. I'll ask her to apologize to you."
How stupid! If I fall out with them now, I will have to pay every penny of the 10 million.
When He Ergu heard that her husband not only did not help her but also asked her to apologize to He's father and others, she was furious.
"Why should I apologize to them? It's obviously their fault. I don't even want to recognize poor guys like them."
"Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about." The second uncle didn't expect his wife to be so stupid.
Liu Tao supported his mother, "Dad, Mom is not wrong. He Guangzu and his gang teamed up with these poor guys to defraud us of our money."
"You shut up too." The second uncle didn't expect that his son was such a stupid guy. The second uncle quickly turned around and looked at He's father, "Big brother..."
"No, we poor guys can't afford to be with your Liu family." Father He's face turned dark and he didn't want to pay any attention to them at all.
"Husband, why bother talking to them so much? Let's go." He Ergu grabbed her second uncle and was about to walk out.
The bodyguards standing at the door pushed it open and rushed in.
They all stood in a row blocking the way in front of He Ergu and the others.
He Ping just felt that the scene was so familiar.
"What do you want to do?"
Faced with a group of big men who suddenly appeared in front of them, He Ergu and the others panicked.
"I'm telling you, don't do anything rash. This is a society ruled by law." The second uncle said firmly and calmly.
Qiu Shui stood up and said coldly, "Since you know that this is a society ruled by law, then you should know that it is only natural to pay back debts. You broke my bracelet worth 10 million yuan, and you want to leave without paying? Do you think it's possible?"
The second uncle took a deep breath and said, "We didn't bring that much money when we came out. We need to go home to get it."
Qiu Shui sneered, "Do you think I would believe it? A big boss of a company with a market value of hundreds of millions needs to go home to get money? Do you think we are three-year-old children? None of you are allowed to leave until the money arrives."
"I'm leaving, what can you do to me?" He Ergu shouted arrogantly.
Qiu Shui snorted coldly, "Then just wait for the police and reporters to come to your door. By then, it will be more than just 10 million."
Seeing Qiu Shui was serious, the second uncle gritted his teeth and said, "We will pay for it."
If this matter is true, will it be reported to the police station? If it is known by reporters, their company will become famous.
Who would dare to cooperate with their company in the future?
"husband……"
"dad……"
Both mother and son wanted to persuade their second uncle.
However, my second uncle ignored them.
After getting Qiu Shui's account number, he called the company's finance department and asked them to transfer 10 million to Qiu Shui's account.
When He Ergu saw that her husband had transferred 10 million yuan, her heart was bleeding.
In the end, she could only grit her teeth, glare at Qiu Shui fiercely, and was dragged away by her husband unwillingly.
