The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot

Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Paying Back Money

By being berated in such a manner by Zhong Niangyao, Shen Yixue’s facial expression turned murky and indistinct. She didn’t know how to respond and could only look at Li Jingming with a sense of injustice.

When Shen Yixue looked at him like that, Li Jingming’s heartache was almost spilling over into his words. When he looked back at Zhong Niangyao, his disdain and blame were evident.

“Zhong Niangyao, that’s enough. Are you going to be so aggressive over such a trifle? Have you gone mad with poverty?”

Hearing such words, Zhong Niangyao felt almost laughably angry. She felt that her entire worldview was being intensely challenged today! However, she didn’t want to waste her time arguing with Li Jingming.

“Since you think those are trifles and merely petty cash, then you can help Shen Yixue repay me! I’ve calculated it, and it’s not much, just about 1.25 million. Shall I ask if you’d prefer to use WeChat or Alipay?”

Originally, these items were gifts from the previous owner, and she had intended to write them off as a loss, not planning to ask for them back or anything. But Shen Yixue was blissfully unaware of the situation and loved to show off in front of her, even trying to educate her.

Since it was like this, then it was time to settle the old accounts properly! Furthermore, Shen Yixue had played a significant role in the previous owner’s decision to jump into the river.

Li Jingming liked to stand up for Shen Yixue, didn’t he? Then he might as well help repay her debt!

She would rather donate the money she got back than waste it on Shen Yixue.

“1.25 million?”

The person who exclaimed was Shen Yixue, “Zhong Niangyao, why don’t you just rob someone? All you gave me were a few handbags, and now you’re making such outrageous demands.”

“Shen Yixue, I think you might not understand the prices of these luxury items,” Zhong Niangyao said, shaking her head with a sardonic smile. “Not to mention anything else, but the Chanel bag you’re carrying right now is already worth 150,000. Not to mention, among the bags I gave you, one is a limited edition Louis Vuitton, and another is a classic Hermès. These are all quite valuable.”

Having said this, she ignored Shen Yixue and turned her head to Li Jingming, continuing, “Li Jingming, you’re also from a wealthy family and should understand the value of these luxury items. 1.25 million is the exact amount, no less. Of course, if you don’t believe me, I can also provide the receipts.”

Li Jingming’s face wasn’t looking too good. Although he had entered the doors of the Lai family and was the Lai family’s public face, the pocket money he received monthly from the Lai family was only 150,000. The others of his generation almost all lived more carefree lives because they had subsidies from their biological parents, while he could only rely on a fixed allowance every month.

His birth father didn’t pay much attention to him, let alone subsidize him. His father’s wife already disliked him, so not cutting his allowance was already quite generous. As for his birth mother, she didn’t even have enough for herself.

Although he had saved some money over the years, coming up with 1.25 million on the spot would definitely be a severe financial blow.@@novelbin@@

However, his current situation was akin to being forced to lead a duck to water; he simply had no choice.

“Alternatively, Shen Yixue, you can choose to return all those bags to me,” Zhong Niangyao straightforwardly gave another solution.

If nothing else, she would put up with the hassle of selling them at a second-hand luxury shop for cash, then donate the proceeds. Anyway, she had no intention of carrying those returned bags again.

“Or maybe—” Shen Yixue tentatively began, “Jingming, I’ll go back tomorrow, pack up all those things, and bring them back to Zhong Niangyao.”

“There’s no need, it’s just 1.25 million!” Li Jingming looked directly at Zhong Niangyao, “Give me your bank account details, and I’ll transfer it to you right away.”

“Alright!”

After saying that, Zhong Niangyao immediately sent her bank account details to Li Jingming and didn’t forget to urge him, “Hurry up and transfer it now!”

Li Jingming, with a face full of gloom, did not delay and immediately transferred the money to Zhong Niangyao.

After receiving the transfer message, Zhong Niangyao waved at Li Jingming and Shen Yixue and left with poise.

When Zhong Niangyao’s figure disappeared in the crowd, Shen Yixue looked at Li Jingming with a touch of grievance and apology, “Jingming, it’s all because of me that you have been insulted like this by Zhong Niangyao. Don’t worry, I will find a way to repay you as soon as possible.”

“No need,”

Although he felt the pain of losing such a large sum of money, Li Jingming had a soft spot for Shen Yixue and comforted her, “It’s not your fault. Who could have expected that Zhong Niangyao would be so stingy as to take back even her given gifts!”

“It’s all because I offended her, that’s why she’s doing this,” Shen Yixue said with a saddened expression. “Actually, I just wanted to have a proper talk with her.”
