Chapter 617 Compensation, swallow this loss
Chapter 617 Compensation, swallow this loss
What does she mean? Has she forgiven me? Pei Zongzheng was not beaten, and he was happy. He walked back happily. He swore that he must work hard and make a name for himself. Then, he would go to find Yao Qingnian. He believed that she would definitely like him. After all, he was suave and handsome. With his real strength, he didn't believe that he couldn't capture the heart of the beauty. Pei Zongzheng's old narcissistic habit came up, and he couldn't stop. He walked away with his back straight and full of confidence.
After Yao Qingnian left, the shopkeeper stepped forward and had someone help Wei Dongyang up from the ground.
"Bitch, where is that bitch? You, go find her for me!" Wei Dongyang covered his painful face and ordered the people around him, but his good brothers had already run away. These were all people in the shop, so who would care about him?
"Mr. Wei, you are covered with wounds. You should see a doctor first. It's up to you whether I should have someone send you to the clinic or send you back home." The shopkeeper said respectfully.
"Get out of here! I'm going to settle accounts with that bitch. I wouldn't be a gentleman if I didn't take revenge!" Wei Dongyang endured the pain and wanted to go out angrily. His mind was full of wanting to find Yao Qingnian. When he found her, he would skin her alive.
"Wait, Mr. Wei, take a look at the losses of our store. Are you going to give us the money now, or should we go to your house to get it later? I have just asked the shop assistants to count the items. Those that are not damaged are fine. We can clean them up and sell them at a discount. We won't charge you for the labor. The total amount of the damaged items is one thousand seven hundred taels." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
"What did you say? These broken things are worth more than one thousand taels of silver? You think you are made of gold? You want to blackmail me? No way! Get out of here. If you don't get out of here, don't blame me for being rude." Wei Dongyang refused to admit it and was about to leave.
The shopkeeper stopped smiling when he heard him say that. "Mr. Wei, are you going to default on your debt? You said we are blackmailing you, so you can ask someone to come and verify whether what we said is true. Or, you can ask Wei Dianji to come and see if we are blackmailing you. Originally, for Wei Dianji's sake, we only calculated the cost. As for the labor and damage fees, we haven't added them in yet! If you make a big deal out of this, I will add all these accounts."
"I didn't damage these things alone. Why do you put all the blame on me? I don't admit it. You saw it too. It was that bitch who beat me up like this. I still have to ask her to pay for my medical expenses! You should ask her to pay, not me!" More than one thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. How could he take it out? It's all that bitch's fault. She was the one who started it first. Why should he bear the loss of the bookshop alone? No, he won't pay!
"Has anyone seen anyone other than Young Master Wei damaging things in the shop?" the shopkeeper asked in a deep voice.
"I didn't see them." Everyone denied it quickly. They didn't want to get involved, so they were busy with their own things and pretended not to see them.
"Look, no one saw it. It was you, Young Master Wei, who did it, so you'd better pay the silver obediently. If the matter gets out of hand, it will be embarrassing for everyone." The shopkeeper continued.
"You are lying with open eyes. It was clearly that bitch just now!" Wei Dongyang was speechless.
"So you mean you won't pay?"
"No compensation! If you want money, go ask that bitch!" As he spoke, his face, which had just been hit, made a sound of pain.
"Young Master Wei is famous for his literary talent, but he calls her a bitch. If you don't know him, you might think she is some ignorant playboy who would say such a thing."
Wei Dongyang was praised for his literary talent twice today, but at this moment he felt that he didn't need the reputation, he just wanted to leave here quickly.
"Anyway, I don't have the money. How about this? You let me go first, and I'll go settle the score with that bitch. When I find her, I'll bring her here to compensate for your losses." He was thinking of finding an excuse to leave first.
"Our bookshop has been open in the capital until today, and it's not just a name. Sir, you have to think it over carefully. If you don't compensate us, then we will have to go to Wei Dianji and talk to him. I'm sure he will be willing to pay the money." Those who can open a bookshop in this location usually have powerful owners, otherwise the shopkeeper would not dare to be so arrogant.
Wei Dongyang began to panic at this moment. What should he do? It's not that he didn't want to give the silver, but he didn't have it. If his father knew about this, he would beat him to death. He was severely beaten and confined to his house for a long time last time. Now he was finally able to breathe the air of freedom. He didn't know who the person behind the bookstore was, but he couldn't afford to offend anyone. His father was just a small book collector and no one could do anything to him. If he didn't have a good reputation outside, everyone would be polite to him for his father's sake. He wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.
He was extremely anxious. Since he couldn't afford to pay and couldn't afford to offend, he might as well cheat and get away with it first. So he rolled his eyes and pretended to faint.
The shopkeeper didn't buy his tricks. He gave his men a look and shouted, "Oh, Master Wei, why did you faint?"
"Boss, it's nothing. Young Master Wei just fainted from shock. I have a few tricks passed down from our ancestors that can wake him up."
"Then go quickly. If you can wake him up, I will reward you handsomely." The shopkeeper said cooperatively.
"Okay, boss, wait for me, I'll get the stuff and come right back." After a while, the man came back with a few thick and big needles: "These are the golden needles passed down from my ancestors, they work every time. Give Master Wei a needle like that and he will get up right away."
Wei Dongyang, who was pretending to be dead, heard this and hurriedly opened his eyes. Seeing the needle in the man's hand, he immediately said with full energy: "Boss, I'm fine now. I just felt a little dizzy. What were we talking about?!"
"Well, I have to say that your ancestral craft is really good. The patient woke up before the needle was even inserted. Not bad! Take this silver and have some tea. Work hard in the future and the boss will not treat you unfairly!" The shopkeeper grinned.
"Thank you, shopkeeper." The man thanked him repeatedly and went downstairs.
The shopkeeper looked at Wei Dongyang: "Then let's continue? We just talked about compensation for losses."
