CHAPTER 373: CHAPTER 373: THE BODY IS NUMB

His shout drew the attention of the others, and they all looked over.

Shen Weiyi suddenly became the focus of everyone’s attention.

After all, that was over a million yuan.

"Alright, just take it off and give it back to her!" The female colleague, who had a decent relationship with the other party, also feared that something might get damaged and not end well, so she reminded her while stepping back to create some distance between them.

A single bracelet could almost cover the down payment on an apartment.

Jade isn’t like gold or silver; if it gets chipped or bumped, they could never afford to pay for it.

Among everyone’s reactions, Shen Weiyi’s was the calmest. As everyone watched her, she looked expressionlessly at the female colleague in front of her and said, "Can I have it back now?"

After learning how expensive the Jade Bracelet was, the female colleague’s limbs went numb, and her face turned darker than the bottom of a pot. Wearing the Jade Bracelet suddenly felt like a hot potato; seeing that others were consciously keeping their distance from her, fearing they’d be implicated if she broke the bracelet. She was both angry and anxious as she glared at Shen Weiyi, "Are you sick? Leaving something so valuable just lying around on the table?"

As if it’s okay to just mess with someone else’s belongings and still be right?

Shen Weiyi wasn’t going to indulge her, replying coldly, "Where I choose to place my things is my freedom. As for you, taking without asking is stealing, a principle even a primary student understands. Don’t tell me you don’t get that?"

"What do you mean by that?" The other party flared up instantly upon hearing what Shen Weiyi said, "I was just looking at it, did you have to speak so harshly?"

Shen Weiyi: "You’ve looked at it now, can you give it back to me?"

"What’s the rush? Did I ever say I wouldn’t return it?" The female colleague said as she continued trying to take off the Jade Bracelet but couldn’t get it off no matter how many times she tried.

Thinking of how expensive the bracelet was and that she might never have the chance to wear one in her life, she considered snapping a photo for her social circle first. With that thought, her eyes darted around before she said, "You see, it’s not that I don’t want to return it to you, it’s just that I can’t take it off right now. How about you let me take my time to remove it when I get home, and then I’ll give it back to you?"

Everyone present was stunned.

All were somewhat surprised that she would make such a request.

This was a Jade Bracelet worth hundreds of thousands, but seeing the obvious red marks it had left on her wrist, it seemed she wasn’t deliberately refusing to return it.

Shen Weiyi couldn’t be bothered to waste words with her. She went straight up, grabbed the woman’s wrist, and forcefully slid the Jade Bracelet off. Then, in front of everyone, she placed the bracelet back in its box, closed it, and put it into her bag, saying, "I’ll let it go this time, but I hope there won’t be a next time."

"You..." The other woman, clutching her sore wrist, was about to get angry when she met Shen Weiyi’s icy gaze and involuntarily shivered. She still kept on arguing defiantly, "What’s so great about you? By the look of it, you couldn’t afford this bracelet yourself. Could it have been given by a man? Huh, some girls nowadays, always looking for shortcuts, relying on their looks to go seduce men to spend money on them, shameless."

Before the words finished, Shen Weiyi suddenly raised her hand and slapped her across the face. The resounding smack was clearly audible to everyone present.

"You actually dared to hit me?" The female colleague was almost hysterical, covering her half-stung face, staring at Shen Weiyi in disbelief.

Shen Weiyi looked at her coldly and said, "Yes, I did. If I ever hear your mouth utter another filthy word, next time it won’t be as simple as a slap."
