Chapter 262: Chapter 259 No Need to Compensate (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
Walking along, the person boasted proudly.
This Western restaurant is the most elite one in Modu, with the minimum spending of ten thousand yuan.
Moreover, not everyone can come to this restaurant; only the elite of Modu can enter.
Seeing the newcomer, Zhao Ying immediately frowned.
The especially smug demeanor made Zhao Ying feel disgusted just looking at him.
This person was none other than Zhang Ke, whom she had just met at the mall.
Zhang Ke was upset from being humiliated by Ye Chen, so he directly invited an internet celebrity for a meal.
Originally intending to show off at the Western restaurant with the girl, he unexpectedly ran into Ye Chen and Zhao Ying.
Zhang Ke also saw Ye Chen and Zhao Ying.
Seeing the two of them acting so close, Zhang Ke was almost furious.
Zhao Ying was supposed to be his woman, yet she was dining with another man right now; the feeling was horribly unbearable.
Especially when comparing the looks of the internet celebrity next to him with Zhao Ying, it was like night and day, making Zhang Ke feel increasingly imbalanced.
Ye Chen and Zhao Ying just glanced at him and then completely ignored him.
Zhao Ying only had Ye Chen in her heart at this moment, filtering Zhang Ke completely like he was air.
The girlfriend beside Zhang Ke noticed his eyes constantly on the pretty girl at the next table and was somewhat displeased: "You’re looking at another beauty even with me here?"
"No, it’s just that they look familiar."
The two of them sat next to Ye Chen.
Zhao Ying and Ye Chen were very affectionate, with Ye Chen even feeding Zhao Ying steak with a fork.
On the side, Zhang Ke was grinding his teeth, having nowhere to vent, so he stabbed fiercely at the steak on his plate with a fork. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Zhao Ying ate a bit and said, "Ye Chen, I’m going to the restroom."
Ye Chen nodded: "Hmm, can you manage? How about I go with you?"
"No worries, I think I’ve recovered."
Zhao Ying stood up, suddenly slipped, and started to fall to the ground.
Instinctively, Zhao Ying tried to steady herself on the wall.
As a result, the table wobbled, and the porcelain tumbled to the floor.
Crash!
The porcelain shattered, breaking into several pieces.
Instantly, all the guests in the restaurant looked in their direction.
Everyone coming here knew that the porcelain in the restaurant was immensely valuable.
Especially the porcelain Zhao Ying broke, which seemed to be blue and white porcelain.
Upon hearing the sound, the restaurant manager rushed over, frowned as he saw the porcelain shards on the floor.
"Miss, how could you be so careless? This porcelain is very valuable."
Zhao Ying was somewhat embarrassed: "Sorry, I just didn’t stand firmly."
The manager said, "This porcelain was bought by our manager at the Jia De Auction, and it’s Ming Dynasty porcelain. Miss, you’ve caused quite a bit of trouble this time."
Upon hearing it was Ming Dynasty porcelain, Zhao Ying’s expression changed slightly.
Ming Dynasty porcelain is undoubtedly valuable.
She didn’t expect such bad luck, breaking such a precious piece; seems like a lot of money will need to be compensated.
Ye Chen came over, not looking at the porcelain on the floor, but worriedly asked, "Xiaoying, are you okay?"
"I’m fine, but the porcelain?" Zhao Ying asked, a bit worried.
Ye Chen smiled slightly: "It’s okay, just a Ming Dynasty piece, it’s nothing!"
Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, the manager was somewhat displeased: "Sir, this porcelain is genuine; we have a certificate of authentication, and it’s worth 1.8 million."
Upon hearing the porcelain’s value, everyone in the restaurant gasped.
It seems this girl indeed caused a major incident, 1.8 million is no small amount.
Even though Zhao Ying’s family is rich, having to pay such a big sum for her carelessness was depressing to her.
"Manager, don’t worry, I’ll pay the money," Zhao Ying said.
Ye Chen patted Zhao Ying’s little head beside him: "You silly girl, you forgot again, huh? I invited you to dinner, how could I let you pay when something happens?"
Saying that, Ye Chen told the manager: "I will compensate for this porcelain at value, here’s my bank card, just swipe it."
Seeing Ye Chen willing to pay, the manager’s expression softened.
At this moment, another person entered the restaurant.
The newcomer was the restaurant’s old acquaintance, Brother Teng.
Brother Teng, seeing the porcelain on the ground and understanding the situation, said to the manager: "Manager, this porcelain is fake."
"What, fake?" Upon hearing Brother Teng’s words, the manager was dumbfounded.
This porcelain was clearly bought by the boss, how could it be fake?
Furthermore, it was the manager and Brother Teng who bought it together at the auction; Brother Teng couldn’t possibly not know the authenticity.
At this point, the manager saw Brother Teng winking at him, and he immediately understood something.
Brother Teng had a good relationship with the boss; he was doing this for one reason, this Mr. Ye was no ordinary person; he was hinting not to demand compensation.
After all, a piece of porcelain worth less than 2 million, if it means offending a significant person, it’s not worth it.
The restaurant manager awkwardly chuckled: "Brother Teng, my memory must be failing, indeed this porcelain is fake, I’m sorry for the mistake, no need for any compensation from you two."
Seeing the restaurant manager’s complete turnaround, Zhao Ying was also dumbfounded.
The manager, who had just been adamant about not letting them leave without paying, changed his tone so quickly?
What’s going on?
Ye Chen, of course, understood the reason; he had already identified the fragments on the floor. The porcelain was indeed real.
The manager’s sudden change of attitude was undoubtedly due to Brother Teng.
Ye Chen smiled at Brother Teng: "Thank you, Brother Teng, didn’t expect us to meet here."
"Yes, fate indeed, I’ve always wanted to invite Mr. Ye for a meal, didn’t expect to meet here."
Seeing Zhao Ying next to Ye Chen, Brother Teng considerately said: "Alright, I’ve got a meeting with a client, won’t disturb Mr. Ye and this young lady’s meal, let’s meet another day."
With Brother Teng gone, the manager quickly ordered someone to clean up the shards on the floor and indeed didn’t pursue the matter.
On the side, Zhang Ke was dumbfounded.
Just now, he saw Zhao Ying break the porcelain, preparing to watch the commotion and see Ye Chen and Zhao Ying embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, the situation took such a dramatic turn.
The manager outright admitted the porcelain was fake and didn’t ask for compensation.
This really sucks.
Damn, why wasn’t it genuine, if they couldn’t pay and were caught by the police, that would be more interesting.
Zhang Ke was full of regret.
The girl sitting opposite him, seeing Zhang Ke’s eyes fixed on Zhao Ying, was somewhat displeased.
"Hey, Zhang Ke, you invited me for a meal, but your eyes are glued to another girl, what’s the meaning of that?" The girl suddenly burst out, shouting angrily at Zhang Ke.
"Have you taken a liking to some woman, you jerk."
The girl got more and more fired up, swinging her bag to hit Zhang Ke.
Zhang Ke dodged.
The bag went flying and smashed into a porcelain piece behind him.
The porcelain was knocked off, falling to the floor and shattering!
