All Worlds Beg the Villainess to Act Like a Human

Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Spectating My Love-Obsessed Brother Courting Disaster (Part 41)

”Didn’t you say you don’t care about Gu Jingkui’s money? That day, you called him for help, and the whole company heard you asking for his assistance.”

Lan Yazhen’s eyes widened, her face flushed, and she immediately said, ”I had no idea Brother Gu paid my tuition fees; I thought he merely mentioned it to someone he knew at the school.”

”Do you think saying a few words to someone at the school is less significant than paying for tuition? Such favors come at a higher cost than tuition; the Gu Family would owe a favor to the other party,” Qiann Yan said. ”Judging by your expression, you seem to blame Gu Jingkui.”

”I don’t. I just didn’t expect Brother Gu to do something like that. If I had known, if I understood these things, I would have never agreed. I was really anxious and utterly helpless that day, and he was the first person who came to my mind.”

Lan Yazhen looked upset as she pulled out her phone, ”I’ll ask Brother Gu to cancel the tuition payment immediately.”

”Once tuition is paid at Tenglann High School, it’s non-refundable,” Qiann Yan pointed out. ”You should know that.”

”How could I possibly know?” Lan Yazhen instinctively retorted, and seeing Qiann Yan’s faintly smiling expression, she felt increasingly uneasy.

”You complained to me before about how expensive the tuition is and that it’s non-refundable, such a scam. Did you forget?” Qiann Yan helped Lan Yazhen recall past conversations and watched her face turn pale, finding satisfaction in it.

”I’ll definitely figure out a way. I’m not that type of person; my mind has been in a mess recently, and I forgot about those things,” Lan Yazhen continued, unsure if she was speaking to Qiann Yan or herself.

Qiann Yan then walked up to her, looking her up and down, her gaze landing on the bracelet on her wrist.

Observing this, Qiann Yan couldn’t help but smile, ”In the middle of winter, isn’t it cold to have your wrist exposed like that?”

There wasn’t any other part exposed except her left wrist, which was quite fair and complemented the bracelet beautifully.

Qiann Yan’s gaze fixed on the bracelet, ”If I remember correctly, this is a limited edition from the G Family’s anniversary, priced at 19,999 yuan.”

”This hairpin of yours is pretty nice too,” Qiann Yan’s gaze shifted to the top of Lan Yazhen’s head, ”a classic style from the H Family, 6,666 yuan.”

Qiann Yan’s gaze settled again on Lan Yazhen’s phone chain, as she propped her chin with her hand, giving her a scrutinizing look that made Lan Yazhen feel panicked and eager to flee immediately.

”An F Family phone chain; it’s platinum material with a diamond on it, sold for eighty thousand.”

Lan Yazhen was speechless, feeling insulted as Qiann Yan pointed them out, even though she knew these were gifts from Brother Gu, yet insisting on mentioning it to shame her?

Feeling devastated, Lan Yazhen shouted, ”I didn’t know these things were so expensive; Brother Gu said they were just some small trinkets worth tens of yuan. Had I known they were so pricey, I wouldn’t have accepted them!”

Lan Yazhen removed the bracelet, hairpin, and phone chain, and handed them over to Qiann Yan, ”Since you’re so petty, you can have them back.”

”Don’t be angry. I never said you recognized these items. Once given, things aren’t taken back, and especially since I wasn’t the one who gifted them,” Qiann Yan’s voice echoed apathetically. ”I remembered you previously saying you didn’t care about Gu Jingkui’s money; today’s encounter was just a reminder to prevent these little trinkets from being recognized by others and making them think you’re vain.”

”Let me put it this way: Gu Jingkui won’t gift anything cheap. He definitely won’t give things worth tens or hundreds. To him, a few thousand, a few tens of thousands are nothing, truly insignificant trinkets. The best way to avoid being called materialistic in the future is not to accept any at all.”
