Chapter 209: Broken Duan Inkstone
Chapter 209 Broken Duan Inkstone
Since he said this was good, Xia Ling decided on this.
The clerk packed them for them and just before they left, they suddenly heard a commotion. A girl's sharp and urgent voice said: "I saw that the old pit dragon panting tiger sitting on the end of the inkstone was still there yesterday. Why was it sold today? It's a lie!"
A store clerk patiently explained to her: "Miss Gu, I really didn't lie to you. I just sold it five minutes ago."
"I don't believe it!" The girl pushed the clerk away and rushed in. She was startled when she saw Xia Ling and Li Lei.
Xia Ling was also slightly startled. It turned out to be Gu Lin. What a coincidence.
Gu Lin was startled, glared at Xia Ling fiercely, and called Li Lei sweetly: "Brother Xiaolei, why are you here? Is it you who bought the Duan Inkstone?" , squeezed Xia Ling away, and reached for Li Lei's arm.
Li Lei, who had a girlfriend, was very conscious and avoided her calmly, and took Xia Ling's arm again.
"Xiao Ling bought it," he said to Gu Lin pleasantly for the sake of his family friend, "The Spring Festival is coming soon. I will take Xiao Ling home to see grandpa and buy some gifts."
That’s actually the case!
Gu Lin was frustrated because she failed to win over Li Lei. After hearing these words, she was shocked. How long had it been since they announced their relationship? Have they already reached the point where they want to meet their elders? ! Jealousy, unwillingness, pain, anger...many emotions rushed into Gu Lin's heart. She said sourly: "No way, I remember that Grandpa Gu has always liked ladies, how could he like her..."
Seeing Li Lei's face darken, she quickly changed her smile and said, "Brother Xiao Lei, just buying a Duan Inkstone is too shabby. Ask Ye Xingling to give me the Duan Inkstone, and I will also choose it for Grandpa Li." It’s a New Year’s gift. I’m going to give Grandpa Li a complete set of the Four Treasures of the Study, paired with a small-leaf rosewood box. I’m sure it will be classy.”
She was very proud that she was a rich young lady and had plenty of money. Unlike Ye Xingling, a poor starlet, I am afraid that the money to buy this Duan Inkstone was spent for a long time without eating or drinking.
Li Lei frowned, this little girl Gu Lin was really spoiled by the Gu family and she dared to say anything.
In the past, when he was single, it was just fun to see her bullying others, but now, when it comes to bullying his girlfriend, Li Lei can't bear it. "The gift doesn't matter how much, nor whether it's high or low. It just needs to be what you mean. Grandpa will definitely like the Duan inkstone that Xiao Ling gave him. Linlin, thank you for thinking about my grandpa during the Chinese New Year. It's a pity that I can't invite you to play. Goodbye ”
Looking at Gu Lin's aggrieved and ugly face, Xia Ling almost laughed.
Should I think of her as a soft persimmon who is easy to bully? This was because Li Lei stood up for her, otherwise, Xia Ling's own fighting ability would only make Gu Lin more embarrassed. She was a little regretful that her talent for fighting was not put to use. She raised her chin arrogantly and held Li Lei tightly: "I'm hungry, let's go eat." She walked out without looking back.
Looking at the seductive backs of a man and a woman, Gu Lin went crazy.
Why? !
Brother Xiao Lei said that he couldn’t invite her to play this year. In fact, she knew that he had no intention of inviting her at all! Even in previous years, the Li family headquarters was rarely open to people with foreign surnames. Although the Li and Gu families were family friends, the only one who had actually been to the Li family headquarters was Mr. Gu. Even Gu Lin had not been able to do so for so many years since she was a child. Enter through the door. Every year, she would put a lot of effort into preparing New Year gifts for Mr. Li, but every year, Li Lei could only deliver them on his behalf. Li Lei just said that he wanted to take this little star named Ye Xingling back to the headquarters? !
Gu Lin's anger suddenly rushed to her head, and she reached out to pull them: "No! Brother Xiaolei, you can't..."
"Ah!" Xia Ling exclaimed in surprise. She lost her grip on the inkstone in her hand and fell to the ground.
"My Duan Inkstone!" She hurriedly squatted down, picked up the Duan Inkstone, and opened the package, only to find that the gray-purple stone inside that looked like a dragon and a tiger had broken, and both the dragon and the tiger had been cut into two pieces. cut.
Xia Ling is about to cry but has no tears.
This Duan Inkstone cost her most of her money, and it broke into pieces before she could warm it. Where could she find another gift for Mr. Li? She raised her head and glared at Gu Lin: "You compensate me!"
Seeing that she had gotten into trouble, Gu Lin was shocked at first, and then she became happy. This stinky woman wanted to give this piece of Duan Inkstone to Mr. Li. Hehe, she was trying to give it away! So, Gu Lin said arrogantly: "You are obviously not sure, and you can't blame others. How can I compensate you? Haha, it's a joke."
Miss Gu was actually quite willing to throw money at Xia Ling's face, but she was afraid that she would take the money and buy gifts for Mr. Li, so she was determined not to pay. Seeing Xia Ling's anxious look, she felt better.
"No compensation?" Xia Ling's anger grew. Did Gu Lin really think she was easy to bully? He had been blatantly coveting her boyfriend without telling her, and he even arrogantly smashed her things to blame her!
"I didn't know the daughter of the Gu family was so shameless." She sneered, thinking quickly about how to deal with Gu Lin, and soon she had a plan. "Staff," she called.
The clerk had not gone far near them. Seeing a dispute, he came over quickly: "Miss Ye, what are your orders?"
“Do you have surveillance video in your store?” Xia Ling asked. She was particularly sensitive to cameras and saw several of them when she walked into the store.
“Yes.” Sure enough, the clerk replied. It's impossible for a store like this that sells valuable items to not have surveillance, otherwise problems like the one just now might happen where something was smashed but it was unclear who was responsible. In fact, their surveillance video was set up to prevent this situation to a large extent. At this time, upon hearing Xia Ling's words, the clerk understood what she meant, "How did the Duan Inkstone fall just now? We have surveillance Record it, do you need me to retrieve it for you?”
"Okay." Xia Ling glanced at Gu Lin and said with a smile, "Give me a copy."
“What are you going to do?!” Gu Lin became nervous. She is a wealthy eldest daughter and has been spoiled since she was a child. She didn't even think about the fact that there were cameras in the store. If the cameras were adjusted, there is no doubt that she would be responsible.
"What for?" Xia Ling chuckled, "I want you to pay me compensation, apologize, and compensate for mental damage. Otherwise, who do you think it would be better for me to send this video to?"
“You are too greedy!” Gu Lin stamped her feet angrily. How could brother Xiao Lei fall in love with such a greedy woman? She originally thought that she would only be asked to pay compensation at most, but she didn't expect... What about the apology and mental damages? !
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Li Lei's lips, and he looked fondly at the little girlfriend beside him who was seriously arguing with others. His Xiao Ling was obviously not greedy for money, and she didn't even want to take the money he had piled up in front of her. However, when she calculated it, it was really outrageous. It was more like a fight than a fight. Mental damage charges? It's a shame she could figure it out.
"How many do you want?" He couldn't help but ask Xia Ling, his voice was very soft.
