Hello Mr. King - Chapter 292

Chapter 292: Chapter 292 - Can Afford

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 .
