Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law
Chapter 943: How Big Is Your Face?
Ever since Long Family Village was redeveloped into an urban village, the people coming and going were no longer just the fellow villagers of the past.
Especially on the east end of the village, after the Wei Family built those nightclubs and luxurious venues, more and more unconventional young men and women frequented the area. Even people from the city, drawn by its reputation, came in droves, and unfamiliar cars filled the streets.
Right now, no one knew where this purple-haired girl came from, but her arrogant behavior was like a bomb in a cesspit, immediately arousing public anger. Many people stood up to speak for Mu Shuisheng and Ruan Xiuning.
Of course, some villagers, afraid of trouble, just stood by and watched, not daring to make a sound.
"This is too much!"
At this point, after quickly understanding the situation, Mu Yanluo rushed forward, standing in front of Mu Shuisheng and Ruan Xiuning, and said, "Whether or not my parents knocked over your glass, why do you have to insult people? Why threaten them?"
"Heh!"
The purple-haired girl glanced at Mu Yanluo and, seeing that Mu Yanluo's stance and appearance far surpassed hers by more than a hundredfold, a flicker of jealousy flashed in her eyes: "Who the hell are you? Stop wasting your breath! Pay up quickly!"
"How much are these glasses?"
Jiang Feng suddenly approached in a calm manner.
Seeing Jiang Feng's unimpressive appearance, the purple-haired girl couldn't hide her disdain: "How much? Do you think someone like you can afford it?"
"Don't ask me if I can afford it. Just tell me, how much should we pay?" Jiang Feng looked at the pieces of broken stemware on the ground, his expression remaining calm.
"Heh!" the purple-haired girl sneered: "Fine! Let me tell you, this set of wine glasses is top-grade Swiss crystal, priced at five thousand each. A full set is thirty thousand!"
Upon hearing this, the villagers were in an uproar!
Thirty thousand?
That's way too expensive!
A mere bump could cost thirty thousand?!
That's so unlucky!
"And this thirty thousand isn't even in Chinese Yuan, it's in Euros!"
The purple-haired girl looked down haughtily at Ruan Xiuning and Mu Shuisheng with a face full of pride: "I guess your poor family doesn't even know the exchange rate between Chinese Yuan and Euro. I'll be kind and merciful enough to tell you, 1 Euro equals 7.7724 Chinese Yuan!"
As she said this nastily, the purple-haired girl tapped away on her phone's calculator: "I'll even do the math for you. Thirty thousand Euros converted to Chinese Yuan is about 233,172. Considering how poor and shabby your house is, not even as good as a toilet, I'll be generous like almsgiving and round it off! Twenty-three thousand cash, pay up now!"
"What? Twenty-three thousand??!"
Mu Shuisheng became anxious, his honest face turning red: "Are you saying these few glasses are worth twenty-three thousand?"
Ruan Xiuning was beside herself with anger and helplessness. Isn't this typical extortion?
Most of the onlooking villagers were also intimidated.
Twenty-three thousand, who in the village besides the Wei Family could casually come up with so much money?
Mu Yanluo was about to continue arguing when Jiang Feng grabbed her arm.
Then, Jiang Feng still calm and collected, smiled slightly: "You're bold to ask for twenty-three thousand. Your cheap fake glasses aren't even worth twenty-three bucks, and I'd say you've overpaid for them."
"What? What did you say?!"
The purple-haired girl's eyes immediately showed a flicker of panic, but soon filled with viciousness: "Damn! Are you stupid? Who are you calling fake? Fine! You don't want to pay, huh? I'll make a call right now and make you regret it!"
"Poor, pathetic family! I don't believe I can't handle you!"
She said, swearing as she mimicked dialing her phone, pretending to call for backup.
Jiang Feng, watching her bluff, remained entirely unbothered, his smile radiating disdain: "Stop spewing nonsense. Tell me, were you sent by someone to deliberately make trouble for Uncle Mu and Aunt Ruan? Even if you're acting, you should be professional. Bringing fake glass cups to pretend they're crystal, how shameless can you be?"
With those words, not only were Mu Yanluo and the Mu Shuisheng couple shocked, but all the villagers present were astonished!
Was this girl sent by someone, deliberately acting to frame them?
Who sent her?
And how did Jiang Feng see through it?!
"You… you're talking nonsense!" The purple-haired girl's eyes flashed with panic, staring fixedly at Jiang Feng!
"I won't waste words with you. It's simple to tell if this trash is real crystal."
Jiang Feng kicked the broken glass on the ground: "Crystal is whitish and bright, whereas glass typically has a yellow-green hue mixed with white, and doesn't shine as much."
"Furthermore, they're different materials. They have different hardness. A natural crystal can scratch glass."
"Finally, the simplest way to tell is by licking it. Crystal feels cool on the tongue, whereas glass feels warm..."
"Uh..."
Hearing Jiang Feng casually point this out, all the villagers present were dumbfounded!
Mu Yanluo finally understood Jiang Feng's good intentions.
If she had continued to argue just now, it would have blown the matter out of proportion!
If a dispute erupted, with the purple-haired girl's ability to twist facts, the Mu Shuisheng couple wouldn't be able to argue otherwise and would only suffer losses!
But now, Jiang Feng effortlessly unraveled the purple-haired girl's clumsy tricks with an effective method, not only putting her in an embarrassing position but also successfully helping her parents out of the bind.
This man is simply incredible!
At that moment, Mu Yanluo looked deeply at Jiang Feng, her heart stirred!
"Is that so? Then I'll lick it!"
The older woman who had stood up to defend earlier, hearing Jiang Feng's words, immediately stepped forward: "I really don't believe these inconspicuous cups are worth over twenty thousand!"
"This young man knows a lot. What relation does he have with the Mu Family? I've learned something today. Crystal feels cool, glass feels warm. I'm going to try it out." Another middle-aged uncle also stepped forward.
"Let me try!"
"Count me in!"
"I can't stand it anymore, this woman's too arrogant, we must try!"
...
A dozen or so villagers gathered around, ready to lick the broken cups.
The purple-haired girl was completely flustered!
"Damn! Stop! Don't come over!"
The purple-haired girl screamed, baring her teeth: "Get the hell out of here! This matter has nothing to do with you! Why are you meddling in others' business?"
"Feeling guilty?"
Jiang Feng squinted his eyes, calmly watching the girl: "If you don't want to embarrass yourself, take your fake glasses and get lost, and don't let me see you again."
"You!!!"
The purple-haired girl was trembling with anger, her face turning colors, but couldn't utter a word.
At this moment, suddenly a cold female voice rang out: "Enough, Xiao Ling, step aside, I'll handle this."
Everyone turned and saw a young woman in a black leather mini skirt, swaying with a snake-like waist, exuding a strong scent of expensive perfume, walking over with a radiant presence!
