I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

"Get this straight, everyone was here just now and saw what happened with their own eyes. You dare to lie to their faces? Aren't you afraid your tongue will rot?"

Everyone was arguing, and Zhao Anqi covered her ears with both hands and screamed in a piercing, high-pitched voice:

"Stop making noise!"

Chen Ya dragged a stool over and sat down in front of her, saying, "I'll give you one last chance."

Zhao Anqi looked up at her with teary eyes.

"Now you need to honestly tell everyone what exactly happened back then," Chen Ya said.

His watch was too expensive; no student could afford it.

Besides, he has insurance, so he won't have to pay for it.

Therefore, he wanted to give Zhao Anqi one last chance.

If she had been honest about what happened, he wouldn't have been so harsh on a student.

Zhao Anqi noticed out of the corner of her eye that several classmates were filming videos with their phone cameras. After thinking for a moment, she said:

"This afternoon, Lu Qianzi brought over a Patek Philippe gift bag. When I asked her what it was, she took out the watch and showed it off..."

"You're lying!" the girl sitting next to Lu Qianzi said, pointing at her. "You were the one who insisted on looking!"

Chen Ya reached out and stopped the agitated students: "Let her finish speaking first."

Zhao Anqi looked even more pitiful and continued:

"After Lu Qianzi finished showing off, Cha Xiaoming insisted on trying it on, so I lent it to him. After he finished wearing it, he didn't return it to Lu Qianzi, but insisted on returning it to me. So I put it on the table, and those two boys happened to be moving a podium over. It probably rubbed against the table, and that's how it got like this."

"Are you done talking?" Chen Ya asked.

Zhao Anqi nodded, then added:

"I put the watch here, but I didn't hold it in my hand. I was too confused just now, so I can't remember anything else, but I remember this very clearly."

A classmate next to me said, "I remember you were holding it in your hand just now."

Someone else said, "That's right. All the classmates were here just now. If everyone compared notes, they would know the truth. There's no point in you lying."

"This matter is entirely your responsibility."

Because of a series of rebuttals from her classmates, Zhao Anqi's body began to convulse wildly, and she screamed:

"Stop arguing!!!"

Everyone fell silent.

Her voice was so high-pitched that even after the entire classroom fell silent, the sharp sound still faintly echoed in people's eardrums.

"Ah."

Chen Ya nodded.

The last chance he gave someone was wasted.

"I understand what you mean. You have absolutely no intention of resolving this issue with me properly."

Then he said, "Okay, I'll call the police now."

Upon hearing the words "call the police," Zhao Xinlei panicked and ran over to grab his hand.

"Isn't this a bit unnecessary?"

Chen Ya looked at him and said:

“If the person involved refuses to pay compensation and disputes the facts, then of course the police should be called to mediate and investigate the truth of the matter.”

Zhao Xinlei stopped him and whispered:

"Is it really worth going to such lengths over a watch? If we call the police, it could lead to a criminal record, which would ruin the student's future."

Chen Ya raised his eyebrows.

Zhao Xinlei continued, "I think we should resolve this privately, so as not to ruin the child's future."

Chen Ya said, "I gave her a chance to resolve this privately, but I couldn't see her sincerity in wanting to resolve it."

Zhao Xinlei said to him, "Wait a minute, can you wait a bit before you start?"

He quickly walked to Lu Qianzi's side and whispered to her:

"Lu Qianzi, your brother is going to call the police. Can you try to persuade him to stop?"

Lu Qianzi raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why should we try to persuade him?"

“If students from our school are taken away by the police, how do you think society will react?” Zhao Xinlei advised. “And if this gets back to the school leaders, it won’t have a good impact.”

Lu Qianzi tried to calm herself down and said, "Her behavior itself had a bad influence."

Zhao Xinlei's face turned cold, and he said:

“Lu Qianzi, I will report this matter to the department leaders. If they find out, you will be in a lot of trouble as well. Don’t blame me for not warning you.”

Lu Qianzi was upset.

She feels very wronged right now.

Although Zhao Xinlei didn't say it explicitly, his words carried a strong sense of threat.

If this matter is reported to the school, my name may be questioned in terms of GPA, admission quotas, and awards.

I've heard of many such unfair phenomena in universities before, where the bad guys who did wrong were given postgraduate admission without taking the entrance exam.

Lu Qianzi originally thought that such a thing would not happen at a prestigious school like Jinghua, but she never expected that she would personally experience such a thing.

It's clearly not my fault, it's the other person's problem, so why do I end up looking like I'm the one being aggressive?

Lu Qianzi couldn't understand it at all.

She looked at Chen Ya with pleading eyes.

For some reason, she now feels that this sworn brother, who has never attended university, gives her a sense of security.

Chen Ya stood beside the two of them.

He had heard their entire conversation.

"Go report it," Chen Ya said. "It doesn't matter, I'll explain."

Zhao Xinlei turned to look at him, a slight look of surprise flashing across his face.

He then calmed down.

Judging from what Chen Ya said, it seems that he has some connections at school.

But what exactly is Jinghua?

Just because you have a little money doesn't mean you can do whatever you want.

If he calls the police today, causing trouble for the school's public opinion, the school will definitely be more supportive of him, regardless of who he knows.

He pulled Chen Ya aside and said, "Then let me say one more thing, and see if that's okay."

"You go first."

"Don't call the police on campus," Zhao Xinlei said. "It's fine if all the parties involved go to the police station together. If the police enter the school and someone takes a video and posts it online, what a bad influence that would be! It could ruin the lives of some perfectly good students!"

After saying that, he continued, "Besides, look, your watch only costs a few hundred thousand yuan. Why ruin a student's reputation and upset the school leaders over such a small amount of money?"

Chen Ya looked at Zhao Xinlei, held up one finger, and said:

There are two things I need to correct you on.

"First, it wasn't that I wanted to ruin this student. I didn't let her touch my watch, nor did I force her to lie. She ruined herself."

"Secondly, who said this watch only costs a few hundred thousand yuan?" Chen Ya said calmly.

"How much is it?" a student asked.

Chen Ya remained silent.

Seeing that Chen Ya remained silent for a long time, Lu Qianzi sighed from the side:

"I told you this watch is very expensive, that's why I don't want you to just take it and play with it."

"how much is it?"

“...more than 700 million,” Lu Qianzi said.

"More than 700 million?"

Zhao Xinlei's expression froze on his face, like lard that had cooled down.

Chapter 202 If you fall in love with someone...

"More than 700 million??"

Zhang Xinlei spent a full minute trying to digest and absorb this number.

The watches Zhao Anqi mentioned earlier, costing hundreds of thousands of yuan, had already exceeded his expectations, let alone watches worth millions.

Not just one or two million, but seven million!

What is this concept?

The entire renovation of their old school building didn't even cost seven million.

This is truly wearing a building on your wrist!

Not only Zhang Xinlei, but the other students standing next to him also gaped open.

His eyes were wide open.

They thought that either they had misheard, or Lu Qianzi had said something wrong.

The watch they just casually picked up to play with is actually worth more than seven million?

Zhao Anqi said in a hurried and sharp tone:

"Lu Qianzi, are you trying to extort me? The most expensive watch in my uncle's watch shop is only a Rolex worth a little over 800,000 yuan. Where did you buy a seven million yuan watch?"

When faced with an exceptionally difficult blow, a person's first reaction is usually to refuse to believe it.

Zhao Anqi is the same.

Her first reaction was that Lu Qianzi was trying to scare her.

Zhao Anqi said urgently, "If it really was a seven million watch, why didn't you say so from the beginning? You would have mentioned the price immediately..."

Lu Qianzi's face turned bright red, and she said:

“I was going to talk about the price, but didn’t you say I was showing off my wealth?”

At this point, some people did indeed remember.

Lu Qianzi did emphasize to them repeatedly that this watch is very expensive.

Zhao Anqi didn't take it seriously.

She took Lu Qianzi's well-intentioned reminder as her showing off her wealth.

Cha Xiaoming realized that he had just been posing with a watch worth over seven million yuan on his wrist, and now he was sweating profusely.

Fortunately, the watch didn't break on my wrist.

If his parents found out he'd gotten himself into such a mess, it wouldn't be impossible for him to be beaten to death.

Zhao Anqi looked at the watch in Chen Ya's hand, her breathing quickening.

No matter how she thought about it, she found it unbelievable.

When did Lu Qianzi suddenly become so rich?

Zhao Anqi had observed her classmates' outfits and Lu Qianzi's spending habits.

Lu Qianzi's clothes are from Johnny's, and her cosmetics are from Yuexi, which are slightly more expensive than ordinary brands, at most considered mid-range luxury.

In Zhao Anqi's evaluation system, Lu Qianzi's family background was only slightly above average, far from being considered a high-class family.

When did she become able to afford a watch worth millions?

What makes her so special?

“Impossible,” Zhao Anqi shook her head.
