Chapter 33: Kneel and Apologize
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Gu Yang waved his hand and asked the waiter to bring him a glass of water.
He held the glass of water in one hand and the necklace in the other. Under everyone's gaze, he placed the necklace into the glass of water.
The flawless white pendant suddenly blossomed into an incomparably beautiful peony flower.
The peony flower rippled slightly in the water. It seemed real and fake, giving off a mysterious feeling.
It was a peony, not a phoenix.
The expressions of everyone present became a little strange.
Chen Jiamin looked at the peony under the water in disbelief. She opened her mouth and said, "Impossible! That pendant is clearly a phoenix, how could it be a peony!"
Gu Yang ignored her.
He took the necklace out of the cup and handed it to Qian Duoduo.
"I'm sorry, Miss. I apologize on behalf of Jiamin. She misunderstood you and made you suffer."
Qian Duoduo took the necklace and said lightly, "Thank you for helping me clarify, but why are you the one apologizing?"
When Chen Jiamin heard this, she was immediately dissatisfied.
"Then what else do you want?"
Qian Duoduo looked at her coldly. Thinking of what she had just experienced, she smiled emotionlessly. "My request is very simple. Do what you asked me to do just now."
"What did you say? Do you know who I am? My cousin is the richest man! My mother is the aunt of the richest man, and my father is a shareholder of the Chen Corporation. You want someone of my status to apologize to you? Dream on!"
"Miss Chen, did you bring up your parents to tell me how bad your parents' education was? You're not young anymore, but you don't even have the courage to apologize? If I had known that you were such a timid and irresponsible person, I wouldn't have asked."
Qian Duoduo's words made everyone present turn to look at Chen Jiamin.
The people who had spoken up for her just now began to switch sides.
"Um, Jiamin, you should apologize to her. No matter what, you misunderstood her."
"I…" Chen Jiamin was unwilling, but she still said reluctantly, "I didn't know that the pendant was so similar. It's my fault. I apologize, okay?"
"Kneeling?" Qian Duoduo was still looking at her coldly.
This time, Chen Jiamin exploded.
"Qian Duoduo, I advise you not to be so shameless! I'm already willing to take a step back. If you continue to push your luck, you'll be the one who can't get off the stage in the end!"
"Heh, Miss Chen's apology has really opened my eyes. Those who don't know better would think that I'm the one who did something wrong. However, I've also learned something today. So this is the so-called noble status. You're the most uncultured person I've ever met."
"You…"
Chen Jiamin was so angry that her face was twisted.
Ever since she was young, everyone around her had tried their best to coax her and flatter her.
Qian Duoduo, this b*tch, actually dared to say such words to her.
She gritted her teeth and said word by word, "Even if you didn't steal my necklace, you might have stolen it from someone else!"
"It seems that Miss Chen likes to steal things very much, so she always thinks that others like to steal things like you."
"Then explain properly why you have Master Aurelie's handmade necklace in your hand!"
"This was passed down to me by my grandfather."
"Heh, looks like the real thief is your grandfather. Your grandfather stole someone else's necklace and passed it to you."
Gu Yang knew that Chen Jiamin was getting more and more outrageous, so he quickly stopped her. "That's enough, Sister Jiamin. Don't go too far. There are so many people watching. Do you want to continue embarrassing yourself?"
Chen Jiamin, who was in a fit of anger, couldn't stand such words. She immediately said to Gu Yang, "Gu Yang! We grew up together, and you're actually helping this outsider to anger me?"
"I'm on the side of reason, not family. You did something wrong. Even if I want you to kneel, it's only right."
"Forget it." Qian Duoduo suddenly said, "I don't want such an apology from an unwilling and humiliating person. I just wanted to let Miss Chen know what it means not to do to others what you don't want to be done to others."
Then, she took her bag and carried her cello on her back. Before she left, she said to Gu Yang, "Mr. Gu, thank you for just now."
After witnessing the whole story, Chen Shu felt that something was wrong. It wouldn't be long before Grandma heard that Qian Duoduo had the peony pendant.
He immediately called Qian Duoduo, but no one picked up.
At this moment, an old voice sounded from the second floor.
"The peony necklace has appeared? The peony necklace was a gift from my old man to my future daughter-in-law. Is my future daughter-in-law here? The granddaughter-in-law that my grandson has been waiting for more than ten years is here?"
Under everyone's gaze, an old lady with an extremely classical and noble aura was slowly walking down from the second floor surrounded by a group of people.
