Pampered By My Fake Boyfriend's Brother-Chapter 515: Compensation at the Market Price
Wu Yan held her bag up in front of the other person. "This kind of bag can’t get wet, and now you’ve ruined it. What are you going to do about it?"
Wu Yan’s overbearing attitude left her friend beside her quite surprised. After all, in her eyes, Wu Yan was usually cheerful and generous in her dealings with others, not petty like she was behaving now.
Whenever it’s break time, "Jianjia Alley" becomes crowded with people, mostly young ones coming to stroll around.
When people saw someone blocking the mouth of the alley, they all turned to look, trying to find out what was going on.
"Hey, say something!" Wu Yan shouted at the delicate girl in front of her.
Wu Yan had been having a terrible time recently. After breaking up with Gu Qingyun, she got involved with a wealthy second-generation heir. But not long into their relationship, after they had been intimate, he started to gradually distance himself from her, leaving Wu Yan frustrated yet afraid to confront the wealthy heir. She could only redirect all her anger towards Gu Qingyun.
If he hadn’t readily agreed to break up with her, she wouldn’t have ended up in the arms of the rich heir so quickly.
However, she had recently discovered that Gu Qingyun was getting close to a seemingly wealthy young lady, and the girl in front of her was associated with that rich lady. Thinking of this, Wu Yan’s gaze towards An Yin grew increasingly hostile.
An Yin looked up nervously, seeing the crowd gathered around growing, she didn’t know what to do except to keep apologizing. "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to."
"You’ve ruined my bag, and you think you can just brush it off with a simple apology?" Wu Yan took a step forward, aggressively.
Her gaze was like a sharp sword, falling on An Yin’s confused and helpless fair face.
"What-what should I do?" An Yin placed one hand at her side, tightly clutching her clothes to ease her anxiety.
"Of course, you have to buy me a new one as compensation." Wu Yan replied without hesitation.
A circle of people had already surrounded them, all whispering to each other. Although their voices weren’t loud, An Yin, as the person involved, heard them quite clearly.
"Of course, she has to compensate..."
"I agree, if you’ve damaged someone else’s property, you should compensate according to its value. If an apology were enough, why would we need the police?"
"Yes..."
"I also think compensation is necessary."
"..."
Voices of agreement arose one after another, and standing amidst the crowd with people pointing fingers, the timid An Yin only felt her heart racing, her flushed cheeks making her appear even more delicate and charming.
Among the crowd, some young men couldn’t help but feel their hearts soften upon seeing the fair and beautiful girl with such a pitiable look. If it weren’t for their girlfriends being present, they would certainly have spoken a few kind words for her.
"Say something." Wu Yan, hearing everyone’s support, grew even more arrogant.
"I’ll pay, I’ll pay," An Yin murmured. "How much is your bag?"
Seeing that she finally spoke, Wu Yan straightened her back and, as people around began to take note of her bag, her expression wavered for a moment before she quickly changed the subject. "There’s a café over there, let’s go talk there."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, An Yin had long wanted to leave and nodded without thinking.
"Come with me." Wu Yan cast a cold glance at An Yin, dropped a statement, and walked ahead with her friend.
An Yin followed.
After the excitement died down, the onlookers pursed their lips, showing a look of unfulfilled excitement. In these times, as long as the misfortune doesn’t happen to oneself, everyone enjoys watching others’ suffering.
In the crowd, a fashionably dressed woman turned her head and said to her friend beside her, "That bag is fake."
"Huh?" Her friend’s eyes widened. "The girl paying compensation is going to be in trouble."
Their conversation quickly faded into the crowd.
Inside the café.
The three of them found a quiet corner to sit down.
Wu Yan and her friend sat on one side, while An Yin sat opposite them. The indoor temperature was quite low, and since they entered, the cold wind slipped through her sleeves making her shiver several times.
"This bag is a branded one," Wu Yan broke the silence first. Her back leaned against the soft chair, and the wet bag sat on her lap, hidden by the wooden table, preventing An Yin from seeing the bag’s design clearly.
"I’m really sorry for what happened earlier, I didn’t mean to, someone accidentally bumped into me..."
"Are you trying to shirk responsibility?"
Wu Yan interrupted An Yin.
An Yin’s eyes flickered slightly, shaking her head weakly. "I just wanted to explain what happened, I didn’t do it on purpose."
As she spoke, her brows knitted slightly, revealing a hint of agitation. Her words were sincere, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that she hadn’t done it intentionally.
Wu Yan’s friend, seeing this, smiled slightly and whispered into Wu Yan’s ear, "Just ask for a few dozen yuan and let’s go shopping, this has already wasted enough time."
"Shut up." Wu Yan said coldly as she listened to her friend.
The friend looked at Wu Yan incredulously, "How can you be like this..." She said while standing up, angrily leaving Wu Yan behind.
Wu Yan watched her friend walk away with no intention of following.
Finally in peace, Wu Yan looked straight ahead, curling her lips as she said, "This bag originally cost 26,499 yuan, you should compensate me at that price!"
"26..." An Yin recited a number and sat there stunned, "More than 20,000?"
"Of course, it was a gift from my ex-boyfriend, and he’s a wealthy man, so naturally the bag is a brand name," Wu Yan lifted her chin with an air of justification.
But she knew very well that the bags from her ex-boyfriend were high-quality knockoffs. If it weren’t for a moment of need when she took the bag to a second-hand shop, she would still be in the dark about it. All she got from that relationship was deceit, and she lost more than just her innocence.
Afterward, she regretted it more than once, regretting not seeing the ugly face of the rich heir.
This event had awakened her, making her realize that perhaps only Gu Qingyun had been sincere to her. At the very least, during their relationship, he gave wholeheartedly, always trying to give her the best, and he always treated her with respect, never thinking solely about being intimate with her...
While Wu Yan was lost in memories of the past, An Yin fared no better. Her eyelashes kept fluttering, her face full of panic.
More than 20,000 yuan was an astronomical figure for her.
Even if she scraped together every penny, it would be hard to come up with, and thinking about the sources of this money left An Yin jittery.
Money from Meng Sihan at "Night Charm," red envelopes from Bao Shaojin, her part-time job earnings... yet deep down she had been thinking of returning Meng Sihan’s money to him.
