Chapter 2495: Chapter 2504: Scared Stiff

No one cared about her pale face. The old butler continued speaking, "Is the total of this money Thirty Thousand? The tempered film on the Young Lady’s mobile phone screen alone costs more than that. Can’t she tell this phone is a HOER?"

At this, not only Zhu Yingluo, but even Han Wenwen turned pale, as if they had been slapped hard. The way she looked at Chi Enen changed—filled with scrutiny, comparison, and intense jealousy.

Her throat felt as if it were being gripped, unable to make any sound, and the blood in her vessels almost flowed backward out of shame.

It’s normal that Zhu Yingluo couldn’t see the phone’s value, because the Zhu family didn’t have much money to begin with. A relative of theirs started a small company with connections to their family. Zhu Yingluo merely had a thick skin and a sweet mouth, always fond of clinging to their family to play. She was good at pleasing her mom, shamelessly calling her Cousin. One is surnamed Han, the other Zhu, how could they be genuinely related cousins?

Zhu Yingluo was nothing but the daughter of a small parvenu, never exposed to much of the world. But she was the legitimate bloodline of the Han family, the Han family’s daughter. Her failure to recognize the phone brand was entirely different from Zhu Yingluo’s.

"The materials for this phone were personally selected by Master Jue, and the programs inside were developed by the Little Young Master. Besides these, HOER no longer produces phones. This phone also holds collectible value, at least Three Million."

Three Million!

Zhu Yingluo’s legs were nailed to the spot, her originally pale face now even whiter, almost transparent.

She knew more than anyone the weight of matters back home; if her parents found out she broke someone’s phone worth Three Million, they might as well kill her.

Zhu Yingluo could no longer be arrogant, and in extreme panic, she reflexively looked at Han Wenwen beside her, gripping Han Wenwen’s sleeve with tension and fear, her hands turning white. "Co-Cousin, you have to help me... I didn’t mean to break her phone, it was because she snatched your parking slot first, so I..."

Han Wenwen didn’t expect her to drag herself down with her at such a time, trembling with anger, wanting nothing more than to push her away and give her a couple of slaps.

"Let go."

"...Cousin, you’re not going to leave me, are you? It’s because of you... for you that I..." Zhu Yingluo was just a little girl, now in big trouble, scared to death and completely oblivious, clutching Han Wenwen’s sleeve with such force that the clothes were deformed.

Han Wenwen had never been so embarrassed. She glared at Zhu Yingluo, telling her a few times to let go, but she wouldn’t listen, shaking all over with rage, "Yingluo, calm down, let go first."

Angry to the point of nearly bursting, Han Wenwen decided that no matter what her mom said afterward, she’d never bring Zhu Yingluo to social events again.

No matter how angry she was, she knew this wasn’t the time to lose her temper. She held back, took a deep breath, and still had to console the person scared senseless, "Yingluo, if you don’t let go of me, how can I help you solve this? Listen, let go first."

God knows how much she wanted to give Zhu Yingluo a slap; not only did she fail to accomplish anything, but she ruined things and wanted to drag her down too in front of the Li family’s old butler.

"Cousin..." Zhu Yingluo was already scared stiff. Hearing her soothing voice was like someone in the desert finding water, her eyes reddened.
