With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

Yu Xinxin arrived at the police station in a daze. Just before being taken in to give a statement, she grabbed the police officer's arm and said emotionally, "Officer, you must investigate this thoroughly. This bracelet of hers must be fake. I know she's my roommate. She couldn't possibly afford such an expensive bracelet."

Even at this point, Yu Xinxin still refused to believe that Shen Ci's payment records were genuine.

The policeman frowned slightly, gently pushed Yu Xinxin's hand away, and said with a serious expression, "We will naturally investigate these matters. What you need to do now is to notify your family to come over. If your family is not local, notify your teacher."

After saying that, he led Yu Xinxin into an interrogation room.

Shen Ci was taken to the next room by another police officer, and the two of them gave separate statements, explaining the whole story clearly.

Because there were witnesses and surveillance footage, Yu Xinxin naturally dared not lie, so the facts stated by the two were basically consistent.

As for whether the bracelet's value is genuine, Shen Ci has many ways to verify it. Not only does she have purchase records, but she also added the salesperson on WeChat, and she can even find information about this diamond bracelet, which is limited to 2,000 pieces worldwide, online.

After verification, the police confirmed that the necklace was indeed an authentic Cartier product.

Yu Xinxin felt as if the sky had fallen.

Although her family was relatively well-off, one hundred yuan was still a considerable sum for anyone, especially since it was being given to Shen Ci as compensation.

Soon, Yu Xinxin's father rushed to the police station. Before he could fully understand what was going on, he appeared and frantically shouted, "Xinxin! Xinxin!"

"dad!"

Yu Xinxin was terrified for a long time. When she saw her father arrive, she rushed over and buried her head in her hands, bursting into tears.

Seeing this, Mr. Yu thought his daughter had suffered a great injustice. He patted her back to comfort her while looking at the police and asking sternly, "What exactly happened? Look how scared my daughter is!"

Gu Lianxing couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw that her father was also an oddball.

The police officer, without changing his expression, said, "Sir, your daughter damaged her classmate's bracelet. Because the amount involved is quite large, we have notified you to come and mediate."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Yu immediately sneered, "It's just a bracelet, we'll compensate you!"

It's just a bracelet, isn't it? Even if it's gold or platinum, how much more expensive can it be?

He patted his daughter's head and whispered, "It's okay, sweetie, don't cry, Daddy's here."

“It would be great if you agreed to compensation, as that was the other party’s only request.” The police officer said, taking out the statement and photocopies of relevant documents that could prove the value of the bracelet: “We will compensate you at the original purchase price, which is 98.8888 yuan.”

"Duo... Duo Shao?" Upon hearing this, Yu's father's voice suddenly rose, startling Yu Xinxin, who was in his arms, causing her to flinch.

"98.8888 yuan," the policeman repeated clearly.

Mr. Yu stared in disbelief for a moment, then turned his daughter around and glared at her, asking, "Xin Xin, a hundred-yuan bracelet?"

Yu Xinxin avoided looking at her father's face, and simply nodded slightly.

"Are you crazy?!" Mr. Yu roared upon seeing this, his previous doting fatherly demeanor vanishing instantly: "It's a hundred-yuan bracelet! How could you be so careless!"

Saliva flew everywhere, glistening in the light!

After being scolded by her father, Yu Xinxin cried even harder.

"Officer, could you please repair that bracelet? One hundred yuan is way too much." Ignoring his daughter, Mr. Yu turned to the officer and pleaded, "Please talk to them about it. If you repair it, I'll give her extra compensation, okay?"

The policeman looked troubled because he had seen how the bracelet looked after it was damaged; it was broken like that, how could it possibly be repaired?

"The other party said that the only settlement they would accept is full compensation." The police officer sighed, glanced at Yu Xinxin who was crying uncontrollably, and then said, "If you refuse to compensate, your daughter, as a college student, will have a criminal record. And if the other party goes through legal proceedings, you will not have a chance of winning, because the facts of this matter are very clear."

Upon hearing that it would leave a criminal record, Mr. Yu panicked.

"We'll pay, we'll pay!" He nodded through gritted teeth.

Given his financial situation, he could definitely afford to lose 100 yuan. But to lose 100 yuan over a bracelet and not even get a chance to win anything would make anyone feel humiliated and resentful.

Yu's father felt a pang of heartache.

The transfer was completed on the spot, and both parties signed the mediation agreement, thus concluding the matter.

Yu Xinxin's eyes were swollen from crying, but her gaze towards Shen Ci was still fierce.

If her previous targeting of Shen Ci stemmed from jealousy, now her heart is filled with nothing but pure hatred.

With 100 yuan, how many things she likes can she buy?

Shen Cilin stopped as he walked past her, gave her a cold look, and said in a low voice, "I warned you, from now on, remember to keep your mouth shut when you see me. This is the consequence of your foul mouth."

"Shen Ci, don't be so smug. I won't let this go today!" Yu Xinxin said through gritted teeth, her voice hoarse.

Shen Ci smiled dismissively and walked away without looking back.

Behind him came Yu's father's roar: "I think I've spoiled you too much. What are you still standing here for? Get back to school right now. Starting next month, I'll only give you two cents a month for living expenses. Let's see if you dare to cause trouble again!"

After leaving the police station, Gu Lianxing was extremely excited.

"It's truly gratifying to see her bully you before." Gu Lianxing genuinely felt happy for Shen Ci.

But then she belatedly realized that some doubts had arisen, and tentatively asked, "Shen Ci, I think you have a very strong personality, so how come you were bullied by them before? Was it because there were more of them?"

Shen Ci glanced at her, and Gu Lianxing quickly waved her hand, "It's okay if you don't want to talk about it. After all, they are all bad memories. Let bygones be bygones."

Shen Ci nodded. It wasn't that she didn't want to talk about it, but rather that she didn't know how.

In her past life, she was indeed not assertive enough when she was young. Her current personality is entirely the result of being honed in her work team.

But the most crucial reason is that she has money now, and money is her biggest source of confidence.

“Come with me to the Cartier boutique again, I want to buy a new bracelet,” Shen Ci said.

This bracelet is the same one she and her sister own. If her sister knew that it broke after only one day of wearing it, she would definitely be sad.

“Great! I was just thinking of going to browse perfumes too.” Gu Lianxing readily agreed.

Now, her affection for Shen Ci is not only due to her beauty, but also mixed with some heartache and sympathy. She is determined to be good friends with Shen Ci and help her completely forget the unpleasant experience of being bullied and isolated in the dormitory.
