Chapter 292: Can Afford

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t pretend that this had nothing to do with her just because her friends would trouble her. They shared years of memories. Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t ignore this.

“They are my friends,” Yun Xiangxiang told the butler in French.

The whispering crowd quieted down at Yun Xiangxiang’s announcement. The butler knew this was beyond him when he noticed Yun Xiangxiang and Qi Jun were involved. He quickly had someone inform the master.

Yun Xiangxiang went to her friends. “What happened?” She asked in Chinese.

“When Mengmeng was moving the desserts, some people were chatting in the garden. They asked us something when they saw us taking these desserts. Probably asking us what these were.”

As they were asking in French, Li Xiangling didn’t know what happened. A servant came up to them, asking them to send some of the desserts inside.

Li Xiangling went first. Something happened, and Song Meng fell. Li Xiangling couldn’t see what happened, as the bushes blocked her. The desserts Song Meng was holding fell on a lady’s dress, soiling it.

“Someone tripped me!” Song Meng growled.

Faye brought some people here at this moment. She put on a face of worry. “I’m sorry. It’s my oversight. I’ve talked with Kelly, and she says she won’t pursue this matter. Since they’re your friends, why don’t they come in together and have a toast? Let’s get this misunderstanding over with, hmm?” Faye was apologetic.

Yun Xiangxiang looked at Faye calmly. “There is no misunderstanding here, Miss Faye. We need to get this over with, but not with a toast. If my friends did something wrong, then they must be punished.”

“Yun, it’s not a big deal. It’s just a dress. Kelly doesn’t mind,” Faye dissuaded Yun Xiangxiang.

“Miss Faye, may I ask something? If these girls were not my friends, and if I do not know Qi Jun, how will you handle this?” Yun Xiangxiang would not take this attack silently.

Faye set this meeting up to make Yun Xiangxiang’s friends think that Yun Xiangxiang caused their trouble. The second reason was that Faye wanted them to see the difference between them and Yun Xiangxiang.

Faye was not only trying to turn Yun Xiangxiang’s friends against her, but she also wanted Yun Xiangxiang to understand something: The gap between Yun Xiangxiang’s friends and Yun Xiangxiang now was the gap between Yun Xiangxiang and Faye.

Faye wanted to get one message across. They were the noble aristocrats who could bankrupt Song Meng and Li Xiangling just because they soiled one dress.

As Yun Xiangxiang was a friend to Li Xiangling and Song Meng, she was also just something the aristocrats could quickly destroy.

This Faye truly knew how to make things go her way. She looked like she was the good girl, but now she humiliated Yun Xiangxiang and tried to turn Yun Xiangxiang’s friends against her.

If the trio’s friendship were even a bit less sturdy, this move alone would make Yun Xiangxiang lose two of her best friends.

Faye was trying to see if Yun Xiangxiang would stand up for the girls. If she didn’t, this wouldn’t end well for Song Meng and Li Xiangling.

Faye would then stand up and expose the girls as being Yun Xiangxiang’s friends. She would make Yun Xiangxiang out to be a money-loving, peasant-hating hypocrite.

Faye could even take it a step further and let everyone know that Yun Xiangxiang only received the invitation today. That would reinforce the image of Yun Xiangxiang being a gold-digger.

Faye knew she was Song Mian’s girlfriend. Sooner or later, she would have to blend into this circle. Faye did this to cut off Yun Xiangxiang’s opportunity of entering the blue blood circle.

She wanted to take this chance to make Song Mian and the Song Family reject Yun Xiangxiang.

The Song Family didn’t need their descendants to marry someone of the same social standing. They were powerful enough by themselves. But they wouldn’t want someone with a rotten reputation.

Faye hit more than two birds with one stone. She didn’t let anyone know of her plan, but her attack was swift and deadly.

Now that she was willing to settle this for Yun Xiangxiang’s sake, everyone would praise Faye as the kind, generous host, befitting a noble aristocrat.

If Yun Xiangxiang and her friends stayed after this, they would be crowned as the shameless girls.

But if they left just like that, that meant they felt guilty and escaped without even apologizing.

No matter what she did, Yun Xiangxiang’s reputation would be ruined by Faye.

“I have to be honest here. If they aren’t your friends, I wouldn’t have interfered. Kelly is my friend, after all. She’s here to celebrate my birthday, but I have neglected her,” Faye explained earnestly.

“You appreciate your friends, Miss Faye,” Yun Xiangxiang smiled. “I do too. Us Chinese would never cover up for our friends, for this will only make them repeat the same mistake.”

More and more people surrounded them. Since many of them came from other countries, Yun Xiangxiang spoke in English.

Faye switched from Chinese to English too. “But Kelly’s evening gown is costly…,” Faye was doubtful.

“No matter how expensive it is, it must have a price. Can you kindly ask Miss Kelly here and name her price?” Yun Xiangxiang interjected.

“Are you sure?” Faye doubted if they could pay up.

Yun Xiangxiang did not answer. Instead, she took off her necklace. “This necklace here is created by the world-famous Mr. Percy. It’s a part of the Angel series, costing forty thousand dollars. Is it enough to pay for the dress?”

Faye was imperceptibly surprised at this declaration. Faye’s family had a set of the Angel series’ jewelry thanks to Song Mian.

It was regarded favorably at the Ball of the Blue Blood last year, lending it a high fame level. Everyone knew the price of one set of that jewelry.

Celebrated masters designed both Kelly’s evening gown and Yun Xiangxiang’s necklace. Using the necklace as compensation wouldn’t be insulting to the dress.

Faye thought Yun Xiangxiang was wearing MonRoe’s jewelry as its ambassador. She was surprised when Yun Xiangxiang took it off.

What Yun Xiangxiang did indirectly told them that the necklace belonged to her. She could do whatever she wanted with it.

Yun Xiangxiang didn’t wear any jewelry. MonRoe gave all of her jewelry. It would be inappropriate if she wore those while attending an event organized by the Cardicra family, who was also in the jewelry business.

She chose to wear the set Austin gave her before she left New York. At least that set was privately owned by her.

Yun Xiangxiang didn’t expect that she could use it to get out of trouble. If Faye wanted to humiliate her, Yun Xiangxiang would foil her plans.

“Xiangxiang!” Song Meng didn’t expect that Xiangxiang would have to give away such an expensive necklace to save them. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Li Xiangling pulled her aside, “Let Xiangxiang deal with this.”

Qi Jun, who was standing there watching, looked at Li Xiangling with surprise.

Faye had no choice but to ask someone to get Kelly here. Kelly had changed into another evening gown. “Miss Yun is a friend of these girls. She wants to apologize for her friends by giving you this necklace as compensation for your ruined dress. Do you accept their apology?”

Kelly looked at Faye and Yun Xiangxiang. She didn’t give her reply.
