Group Pet Eldest Lady, She Just Wants To Be A Salted Fish

Chapter 12 – The retribution for forcing his sister to spend money

Ruan Yōu is a reasonable person.

“Price is not up to me, we’ll have to look at the damage assessment report for compensation.”

Luo Ze had only bought this car a week ago and hadn’t insured it yet, so he would have to pay for any damages out of his own pocket. He thought that Ruan Yōu was clueless about damage assessment reports, but he didn’t expect her to be knowledgeable about it.

However, involving the insurance company would add another step to the process, which would be quite troublesome.

Luo Ze: “Just give me a price, don’t waste my time with all those irrelevant details. I’ll pay you 100,000 yuan for a private settlement. Is that okay?”

Duan Dai nodded in agreement, “Ruan Yōu, he’s offering you 100,000 yuan for a repair that costs only tens of thousands. You’ll make a good profit. It’s not worth holding on to this matter for too long. We still have to go eat. Let’s settle this quickly.”

Duan Dai said the last four words in a commanding tone, which made Ruan Yōu’s attitude inadvertently turn colder. “Let’s follow the rules.”

Luo Ze laughed in anger.

“Fine, you won’t avoid the process for just 100,000 yuan. I want to see how much your crappy car is worth.”

Ruan Yōu also wanted to laugh. After contacting the insurance company, he calmly put his phone back in his bag. “The one who made a mistake is acting arrogant and rude. If I didn’t know any better, I would have thought you were a dog who recognized the wrong owner, and that’s why you act this way.

“No matter how much this car is worth, I’ll accept compensation according to the rules and the actual value. Before showing your arrogant attitude of thinking that money can solve everything, think first whether it’s really possible to solve this with money.”

Ruan Yōu’s scolding made Luo Ze laugh instead of getting angry.

“Don’t you know the famous saying? Money can buy anything.”

Fifteen minutes later, the insurance company’s technicians arrived at the scene and carefully examined the internal structure of Ruan Yōu’s car. They found that the situation was not as simple as they thought.

The employees followed the process and asked about the causes and consequences of the collision between the two vehicles. Luo Ze was so annoyed with the questions that he rolled his eyes repeatedly, and said:

“Just tell us how much money it is. Haven’t your insurance company’s people seen an RS Q8 worth hundreds of thousands? Is it necessary to make such a big deal out of a normal car like this?”

Luo Ze had a bad mood yesterday when he encountered a newbie with a twisted brain on an investment forum. His childhood friends from Mary Sue City invited him over to hang out and relieve his stress, so he brought Duan Dai along. It was rare for a group of childhood friends to get together, but they had to deal with this kind of trouble.

Today, Luo Ze was particularly irritable.

Duan Dai patted his shoulder and said, “Let it go. Even if we offer more money for a private settlement, she won’t agree. Going through the process now may reduce the amount we have to pay. We won’t be a total victim in this.”

Luo Ze nodded in agreement.

The tone of voice used by Luo Ze when talking to his friend has always been good.

The insurance company’s employees have encountered many disputes before, and faced with Luo Ze’s obvious impatience and venting, they can only grit their teeth and endure it in silence.

When the technician heard the argument, he walked over and whispered to his colleague, “This car is not ordinary.”

“Very unordinary.”

His colleague looked at him in amazement.

Luo Ze: “Have you found out anything? If this person doesn’t have the technical skills, then find someone else. Don’t waste everyone’s time.”

The technician furrowed his brow and looked serious. “The repair estimate for this car should be around 600,000 yuan, or even more.”

It seems that the headlights use cutting-edge products that are currently in short supply in China. Both headlights are broken, the bumper is cracked, and there are several areas that need to be repaired.

Luo Ze was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled lightly. “Let’s quickly notify the company to send someone else. This guy must be crazy.”

“This car has been modified and all the parts are top-of-the-line that only the headquarters uses in their high-end car series. The estimated value is no less than ten million.”

Duan Dai exclaimed, “How is that possible? Who would spend ten times the price of a luxury car to modify a regular car?”

The two employees from the insurance company looked at Ruan Yōu, who was standing next to them.

Their eyes were piercing and glittering.

—She would, they thought.

This is what real low-key looks like.

This is what a truly wealthy person is like.

Ruan Yōu cleared her throat and changed the subject, “Can you provide an estimate now? I have somewhere to be.”

The technician returned from his intense gaze and nodded, then shook his head.

“There are still a few parts that haven’t been seen in China. You’ll need to list the internally modified parts and send them to me.”

“OK.”

Ruan Yōu opened the document that Wei Wen had just sent and let the technician take a photo. Then she gave the insurance company’s employee Wei Wen’s contact information.

“If you have any questions, please contact her.”

“Is she your assistant?”

“Sort of,” replied Ruan You.

Ruan You put away her phone and prepared to find Lu Ming, who was at the library. As she walked in that direction, she happened to pass by Duan Dai and Luo Ze, who were petrified in place. She took two steps forward and stopped in front of Duan Dai.

Duan Dai knew that when Ruan Yōu came over, she must be there to humiliate her and show off her power by exposing the incident of stealing perfume. Duan Dai was uneasy all over and held back her anger, staring straight ahead and not looking at Ruan Yōu.

She thought the car was worth only one million just now, but now it turned out to be worth ten million. The price wasn’t scary, what’s scary was the mindset behind building this car.

If there wasn’t a lot of money at home, they wouldn’t dare to spend so extravagantly.

At least, her family wouldn’t have such a grand gesture.

As Ruan Yōu opened her mouth, Duan Dai spoke up at the same time, not wanting to listen to her arrogant retort.

“Don’t be too proud, we can afford to pay a few hundred thousand!”

“Don’t bother Lu Ming in the future.”

Both of them were stunned.

Ruan Yōu was the first to regain her senses, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed together, “Xiao Lu is in the final stage of her postgraduate entrance examination, don’t bother her, let alone say some stupid things and use the heart of a villain to guess the heart of a gentleman. I won’t bother her with malicious words, bad intrigue and low-level scheming, I’m not you. She and I will always be good friends.

“Don’t affect her with your values in making friends and life experiences. If you continue to act this way, it won’t be as simple as a verbal warning.”

Towards the end, Ruan Yōu’s attitude became colder and colder.

Duan Dai’s whole body stiffened, and she couldn’t describe the feeling in her heart.

Luo Ze stood in front of Duan Dai and said, “Speak nicely.”

Ruan You’s tone was indifferent: “Don’t block my way. I don’t talk to things that recognize Erlang Shen’s dog as their master.”1

Luo Ze’s good temper was all left for his childhood sweetheart and good friends. He always launched a strong attack on outsiders and had a bad temper. He was about to argue with her, but unfortunately Ruan Yōu didn’t even give him a glance and walked straight towards the library.

The insurance company staff called out to him, “Mr. Luo, please leave a contact information. The appraisal document will only be ready this afternoon.”

Suppressing his anger, Luo Ze tossed a business card over and turned to Duan Dai, saying:

“No wonder she couldn’t make it in the entertainment industry, she has a really bad temper.”

Duan Dai pursed her lips and tried to calm the situation, “Let’s just drop it.”

She had thought that Ruan Yōu would proudly reveal her family’s wealth, just like she did when she was a freshman.

But Ruan Yōu didn’t.

When she could have easily exposed her wealth and embarrassed her, Ruan Yōu chose to protect her best friend.

This made Duan Dai recall her past actions and feel awkward and embarrassed, like she wanted to bury herself in a hole. When Ruan You chose to protect Lu Ming, Duan Dai already lost.

Her pride in her family, the wealth she enjoyed since childhood, and the unique experiences of growing up in a wealthy family were all unworthy of mention to Ruan Yōu, let alone the fact that Ruan Yōu also had an outstanding and well-connected older brother.

Seeing Duan Dai’s discouragement, Luo Ze suppressed his anger and said, “Don’t think about it, let’s go have a meal. This is all her fault.”

“I’m not going anymore.” Duan Dai felt frustrated, and the whole ordeal made her want to go back to school and focus on inheriting her father’s business.

After all the commotion, even someone with the best temper like Luo Ze couldn’t stand it anymore. He left with a “do as you wish,” and was taken by the insurance company’s staff to handle some matters, which made him very annoyed.

Only when he was leaving the insurance company did he remember the investment forum.

He had boasted earlier that he would invest two million in Puxiong, but he didn’t have that much cash on hand now. However, he had already made a promise and the people online would certainly laugh at him if he didn’t follow through, so he had to ask his family for money.

After a harsh scolding, he finally got the money, but his mood had already reached its boiling point.

F*ck.

Since yesterday to today, there wasn’t a single thing that went smoothly.

Ruan Yōu didn’t tell Lu Ming that she had arrived, and quietly went to the library to give her a surprise.

Lu Ming had been sitting in the library all morning, her butt and eyes were sore. She was thrilled to receive her wealthy benefactor’s gift package. She handed the iced milk tea she ordered earlier to Ruan Yōu.

After leaving the library, Ruan Yōu took Lu Ming back to the car to get the clothes she gifted her. The insurance company’s people had already left, and there was only a pitiful luxury car that had been hit in the parking space.

The insurance company’s people said they had contacted Wei Wen and would arrange to tow the car back to the company for careful pricing later. Ruan Yōu had no objection.

” What happened to your car?”

“Just had a small accident. Here, your clothes.”

While holding her clothes like a treasure, Lu Ming inspected her up and down, but didn’t ask anything else when she saw that she was okay.

As she waited for Lu Ming to put her clothes back in the dorm, Ruan Yōu stood outside the dormitory and looked up at the dormitory building where she had lived for a year. There were many troubles when living in a dormitory, and if you met a roommate with an incompatible personality, it was inevitable that there would be friction.

In the past year, she had often heard from Lu Ming that the girl who slept in the opposite bed had expressed her dissatisfaction many times because of her early-morning visits to the library for the postgraduate entrance examination.

Lu Ming’s exam is still about two months away. After coming out of the dorm, Lu Ming held Ruan Yōu’s hand and went to eat at a small stall outside the school. Ruan Yōu thought for a moment and said, “Let’s buy something on the way.”

“Okay! What do you want to buy?”

Ruan Yōu : “A house.”

Lu Ming : “?”

Don’t say ‘house’ with the tone of buying cabbage, okay!

Ruan Yōu : “I’ll buy it for you.”

Lu Ming : “???”

1 basically, Ruan Yōu is just saying that Luo Ze is lower than a dog
