Bai Mei didn't expect that Yu Xiangnian wanted these things from her, so she pulled her cuffs guiltily and hid them together with the back of her hands.
She still smiled and made an expression that understood Yu Xiangnian, "That's it...Niannian, it's okay. Then I'll pay you back in a few days."
Yu Xiangnian laughed, "Well, I was worried that you would be unhappy! Bai Mei, you are really considerate."
Bai Mei said: "I have wanted to return it to you for a long time, but I just thought that you have no use for these things, so I use them now."
Yu Xiangnian changed the subject, pointed to a book on the top of the cabinet and said, "Bai Mei, can you show me that book?"
Bai Mei took a look, then stood up and opened the cabinet with the key, stood on tiptoes, and raised her hands as high as she could to reach the book.
Her cuffs slid down, exposing her wrists.
Yu Xiangnian clearly saw the silver watch on her wrist. The dial was cracked.
No wonder she just pulled her sleeves to hide her wrists.
Bai Mei took down the book and handed it to Yu Xiangnian. Yu Xiangnian didn't mince words anymore, but said bluntly: "Bai Mei, you broke my watch!"
Bai Mei's expression changed, and she immediately put her hands behind her back. She couldn't think of an excuse for a while, and hesitantly said, "Nian Nian, that...I...you...I will fix it."
Yu Xiangnian said firmly, "I don't want this piece anymore, you have to pay me a new piece."
She hasn't asked Bai Mei to get these things back since she came here, she was just waiting for an opportunity.
Even if Bai Mei gave it back to her after using it for so long, she wouldn't want it.
She wants Baimei to pay for her brand new one! Today is the day!
"Ah?!" Bai Mei's eyes widened, and after a while, she pretended to be pitiful again, "Niannian, you voluntarily lent me the money in the first place. If you need me to pay you back, how can you ask for a piece of it from me?" Where’s the new one?”
Yu Xiangnian said with a cold face: "When I lent it to you, it was brand new and I have never used it. But now that your watch has been damaged, you deserve to pay me a new one. And the bicycle, you I ride it every day, and it’s worn out, so I have to give it back a new one!”
When Bai Mei saw Yu Xiangnian's resolute attitude, her eyes turned red and she cried "Wow".
On the one hand, she was anxious, where would she get so much money to buy new ones, on the other hand, she was pretentious, hoping to make Yu Xiangnian soften her heart and take back what she had just said.
People in the office next door heard the crying and quickly gathered around to watch the excitement.
"Nian Nian, how could you do this? You voluntarily lent me the loan, and now you asked me to pay for a new one. You are trying to trick me!" Bai Mei said with sobs.
"What's wrong with you?" Ding Yunfei looked at Bai Mei and then at Yu Xiangnian and asked.
"Why is she crying? Ask her!" Yu Xiangnian curled his lips with a disdainful expression.
She originally wanted to resolve the matter privately with Bai Mei. Since Bai Mei had summoned everyone, let everyone listen.
"Comrade Bai Mei, what happened?" Ding Yunfei asked Bai Mei again.
Bai Mei sobbed and said: "Originally, Yu Xiangnian voluntarily borrowed my watch for the bicycle. Now that she wants to use it, I just return it to her, but she wants me to pay for her new one."
Some of the onlookers stood at Baimei and felt that Yu Xiangnian had gone too far. He just borrowed something and then asked someone to return a new one. Who would dare to borrow other people's things in the future?
Some people stood by Xiang Nian. She lent the dowry to Bai Mei for such a long time that she had never used it herself, so it was not wrong to pay for it with a new one. Besides, they couldn't bear to see Bai Mei using other people's things and showing off everywhere.
Although Bai Mei didn't say anything about the broken watch, Ding Yunfei knew it.
Yesterday, they were on a date. He was carrying Bai Mei on his bicycle. He didn't notice a big pothole on the road and they fell off the bicycle.
Bai Mei's wrist hit the ground, and her watch was broken at that time.
However, Ding Yunfei pretended not to know, and said from the perspective of "justice": "Comrade Nian... Yu, if you want Comrade Bai Mei to return your watch and bicycle, she will return it to you. You want her to compensate you for your new Yes, that’s too much.”
Yu Xiangnian just looked at him with a smile, his usually charming apricot eyes now looked a little cold, which made Ding Yunfei feel guilty.
"Comrade Yu, this is a private matter between you and Comrade Bai Mei. You can resolve it privately." He added.
"No, since everyone is here, I just want to testify." Yu Xiangnian said, grabbing Bai Mei's wrist and pulling her cuffs, "Everyone, look at what this watch has become like, I asked her to compensate A new piece, right?"
Bai Mei struggled hard, but Yu Xiangnian held on tightly, preventing her from letting go.
Everyone saw the silver watch Bai Mei was wearing. There were many scratches on the watch chain, the dial was cracked, like a spider web, and even the needle inside could not be seen clearly.
"Now that it's like this, it's okay to pay for a new one."
"That's Comrade Yu's dowry, and it's only Comrade Yu who is so generous that he's willing to borrow it from others. It's been damaged, so he should be compensated with a new one."
"It's just that Comrade Baimei wears other people's watches every day and doesn't cherish them at all. Last time I saw her moving things, she didn't take off her watch."
After hearing what everyone said, Yu Xiangnian let go of Bai Mei's hand.
Bai Mei's face turned red and white, and she looked at Ding Yunfei for help.
Ding Yunfei couldn't say anything at this time, and he avoided Bai Mei's eyes with a guilty conscience.
Finally, Yu Xiangnian's eyes fell on Yin Yuankai, the director of the logistics department.
"Minister Yin, please help bring justice." Yu Xiangnian said with a smile.
Everyone also looked at Yin Yuankai, who smiled sarcastically. He really regretted coming in to join in the fun.
Bai Mei was the one he recruited and she was his niece, so he definitely wanted to favor her.
But Yu Xiangnian was the commander-in-chief's daughter, so he didn't dare to offend her. Besides, he had heard everyone's discussion just now.
This time, Yu Xiangnian was obviously right!
He cleared his throat and said, "Comrade Bai Mei, you will give Comrade Yu a new watch as compensation, and you can keep the old one for yourself."
"There are also bicycles." Yu Xiangnian reminded him.
"You'll also get a new bicycle, and you can keep the old one." Yin Yuankai added.
Bai Mei had forgotten to cry at this time, and her face turned pale.
When she thought of so much money, she felt distressed and anxious, and her chest rose and fell rapidly.
Ding Yunfei immediately echoed: "Minister Yin is right, Comrade Bai Mei, you will lose the comrade's new watch and bicycle."
After saying that, he gave Yu Xiangnian a friendly smile.
Yu Xiangnian ignored him.
Yin Yuankai just wanted to end this matter immediately, and everyone from the logistics department was here to watch the fun. What a big deal!
"Okay, okay, this matter is settled, everyone, stop joining in the fun and do whatever you have to do!"
Everyone was about to disperse when suddenly Bai Mei shouted, "Wait!"
