Song Kai ran to the teachers’ office. When he heard the police officer’s questions, the corners of his mouth twitched.
He looked at the calm Jiang Jingchen, and then at Gan Fei, whose face was red with anger.
Song Kai knew about Gan Pel’s deliberate collision with Tang Beibei to hurt her. So, Jiang Jingchen deliberately designed this scene to teach Gan Fei a lesson. “Yes, this gentleman picked up my ball. I asked him to return it to me and he accidentally threw it at this female student. After he apologized, he gave her some money.”
“Yes, I did take the money but it’s fake!” Gan Fei retorted.
Song Kai was helpless. “I was standing quite far away so 1 didn’t see in detail what happened. 1 can’t help you prove anything.”
Gan Fei felt extremely aggrieved.
Jiang Jingchen then asked, “Ms. Gan Fei, you keep insisting that the money 1 gave you is fake. Are you trying to ask me for another 10,000 yuan?”
“I’ve already given you 10,000 yuan, so I won’t compensate you again. As for you being cheated, I sympathize with you. You must be more careful with online transactions in the future. Don’t fall for another scam.”
“… You, liar! You were the one who gave me the money. It’s fake. I’ll sue you!” The police officer saw the situation and interrupted, “Ms. Gan Fei, you need evidence to sue someone. You don’t have any evidence. You should apologize!” “I am not apologizing. 1 was the one who has been bullied!”
Jiang Jingchen said even more aggrievedly, “I gave you more than 10,000 yuan, but I was accused of being a swindler. Miss Gan Fei, your incessant involvement with me will make my wife misunderstand that you are interested in me.”
Tang Beibei, who was playing spectator at the moment, nodded when she suddenly heard her name.
“I’m going to get angry, hmph!”
Everyone thought that Tang Beibei’s acting was too fake!
Gan Fei was so angry that her internal organs were about to bleed.
She was the one who was hit on the head. Apart from the medical fees, she had already forked out 10,500 yuan and she must apologize now?
Jiang Jingchen continued, “I’ve never been to college. I thought all college students were smart and ethical. Miss Gan Fei is quite good-looking, but she wants to sue me after taking my money. I’m really disappointed.”
Gan Fei was speechless.
The police officer tried to reason with Gan Fei, “These 10,000 yuan of counterfeit money sells for about five or six yuan in a normal supermarket. It’s hell money people burn for the deceased. It’s crudely made and easy to identify.”
“You were careless in not recognizing that they were fake. Fortunately, you haven’t spent any of the money or you would have made a fool of yourself.” “It’s possible that your 10,000 yuan has been swapped. This is the first young master of the Jiang family. Why would he give you fake money?”
The police officer had asked for Jiang Jingchen’s ID card for the purposes of this investigation. Jiang Jingchen was very cooperative. When he handed over his ID card, the police officer scanned the information and found out that his father was Jiang Xing.
Jiang Xing was the head of the Jiang family and the chairman and CEO of Jiang Corporation.
Gan Fei looked at Jiang Jingchen in disbelief. “He’s the first young master of the Jiang family?”
“Yes, I am.”
Gan Fei swallowed hard and shut up in awe.
She knew that Tang Beibei was married to a rich second-generation heir, but she did not expect her husband to be the first young master of the Jiang family. That was one of the wealthiest families in the city!
Jiang Jingchen was probably the kind of super-rich second-generation heir who wouldn’t bat an eyelid when shelling out 10,000 yuan.
Now, even she believed that someone else had swapped her money.
But who swapper her money?
“Ms. Gan Fei, you’ve made Young Master Jiang come here today for nothing.
You should apologize to him!” The police officer reminded.
Gan Fei quickly lowered her head and said in fear, “I-I’m sorry. Someone must have swapped my money. That’s why I misunderstood you. It’s my fault!”
Jiang Jingchen said with a long face, “This has indeed been an unpleasant experience. 1 gave you 10,000 yuan, but you spent less than 10 yuan for your treatment. I’ll give you 1,000 yuan for the inconvenience. You should give me back 9,000 yuan!”
“What? You, you’ve already given me the money. How can 1 return it?”
“Why not? I won’t despise the money and consider it dirty. You’ve inconvenienced me big time, so you should compensate me, right? I don’t want much, just 9,000 yuan.”
“… But 1,1 don’t have that much money.”
“It’s not my fault that you don’t have money, Miss Gan Fei,” Jiang Jingchen said coldly.
Gan Fei was on the verge of tears. She had lost 10,000 yuan because of her greed, and now she was going to lose another 9,000 yuan. She couldn’t accept it.
The police officer saw that she was about to cry, so he negotiated with Jiang Jingchen and asked if the compensation could be lowered. After all, Gan Fei was a student and couldn’t afford that much money.
But Jiang Jingchen said, “Nine thousand isn’t a lot. It’s a lesson for her. Before 1 came, 1 heard my wife’s classmate tell me that Gan Fei had quarreled with my wife before and scolded her for no reason. She’s just deliberately causing trouble for my wife.”
The police officer had heard from Gan Fei herself that she and Tang Beibei had a small conflict.
Gan Fei’s face turned red.
“I’m sorry. I-1 was inconsiderate before. Tang Beibei, you’re a magnanimous person. Please don’t hold it against me.”
Tang Beibei pulled a long face. “If you hadn’t looked for me, I would have forgotten about you. I never thought about holding anything against you.” “…” Gan Fei’s expression turned pale.
Song Kai interrupted, “Since we’re all classmates, why don’t we forget about this money?”
Tang Beibei nodded. “Yeah. We are all classmates. There’s no need to hold grudges. Let’s forget it.”
“Thank you so much. I truly understand my mistake. Tang Beibei, 1 didn’t expect you to be such a nice person.”
Tang Beibei was speechless.
After the reconciliation, Jiang Jingchen left with Tang Beibei. Gan Fei felt bad and called out to them.
“Tang Beibei, Mr. Jiang, let me treat you to a meal.”
Jiang Jingchen looked at her indifferently. “I don’t lack money for a meal.
Goodbye.”
Gan Fei watched them walk away and stared at Tang Beibei’s back. She would be lying if she said that she wasn’t jealous.
Tang Beibei was actually married to the first young master of the Jiang family. Wasn’t she above everyone else in the future?
She turned around and saw Song Kai. She thanked him. If he hadn’t intervened, she would have to fork out another 9,000 yuan.
Her family wasn’t rich, and the 10,000 yuan she lost was already most of her savings.
Song Kai glared at her. “Don’t provoke others with your ill intentions. God is watching everything. You’ll receive retribution.”
Gan Fei’s face turned red with embarrassment and anger. She lowered her head and didn’t dare to speak.
Tang Beibei followed Jiang Jingchen into the car with a long face. After they both got in, she couldn’t hold it in anymore and asked him what was going on.
Jiang Jingchen said, “1 taught her a lesson for you. Is it satisfying?”
“Very satisfying!”
Tang Beibei was delighted when she saw Gan Fei’s aggrieved expression.
When Gan Fei knocked into her and mocked her for getting all the attention despite being average, she must have done it on purpose.
“Hubby, did you arrange it long ago?”
“There’s no need to arrange such things. It’s true that I withdrew cash for Lunar New Year. Sometimes dealing with whatever that comes my way works out just as well in the end.”
Jiang Jingchen spoke very calmly, without blinking or having his face turn red.
He didn’t want his woman to think that he was a scheming person who could easily take care of a small fry like Gan Fei.
Tang Beibei looked at him doubtfully. “Then what about the money stolen from Gan Fei?”
Jiang Jingchen pondered for a few seconds. “It was just to teach her a lesson.
The stolen money has been donated to a charity organization. Just treat it as a new year gift to the children in the poor mountainous areas.”
“Hubby, you’re so kind!” Tang Beibei couldn’t help but praise him.
“Yes, kindness begets kindness.”
P.S. from the author, Ming Zhi ask, “Young Master Jiang, your definition of kindness is different from that of ordinary people.”
Young Master Jiang replied, “I’m not an ordinary person.”
Ming Zhi secretly laughed; only his silly wife would believe his nonsense.
Tang Beibei asked,”… Are you talking about me?”
Ming Zhi was speechless..
