Chapter 23 - SORRY FOR THE DISCOMFORT.......

Lie Changle was surprised that her cousin will go to the extent of tripling the amount for the two necklaces, but she decided not to lose so easily.

"I will pay four times the amount," Lie Changle proudly replied.

Xiao Bai felt pity for this proud girl because she knew how crazy her friend can become when challenged. She could go as far as purchasing the whole mall just to faceslap the person who dares to challenge her.

"I will pay six times the amount," Lie Ruge stated with an indifferent expression.

The head manager was just waiting for the right moment to step into their argument. He was scared that he might lose his job if he dares to act rashly.

Lie Changle was annoyed that her cousin was willing to spend such a hefty sum of money just to purchase a measly necklace. It was then she realised that her cousin was deliberately humiliating her in public, but she was never going to back down easily, never!

All the socialites were awestruck.. But despite the uproar from the socialites Lie Changle still continued.

"I will pay eight times the amount," Lie Changle replied with a tone of finality. She was so certain of the fact that her cousin will not drag on with the price again. She smiled triumphantly.

Xiao Bai who was quietly watching the show stopped her best friend from bidding further. She leaned closer to Lie Ruge and whispered into her ears, "Ge'er! If you keep on bidding with this pretentious girl, she might commit suicide because of the utter embarrassment she will undergo from you hand".

"I'm just having a little fun with her it's her lucky day today and I love seeing the look of disappointment on her face or isn't it amusing to see your arch enemy humiliated?" Lie Ruge whispered back with a devilish smile on her face.

"Ok, sure, I also love seeing that expression on her face but don't drag on with the bidding for long, alright?" Xiao Bai smiled back.

Lie Ruge nodded in response. She was tired of playing with this girl, so she decided to seal the deal.

"I will pay twenty times the amount," Lie Ruge said, shocking everyone with her words.

The sales representative was dumbstruck. "Are this two ladies crazy?" They left her speechless.

All the socialites were dumbfounded, they started gossiping.

"Are this two ladies insane? How can they play with such a hefty sum of money as though it is nothing?"

"This is the power of wealth. You can afford to showcase your wealth in any manner that pleases you"

"Oh, my gosh! Are these ladies willing to spend their lifetime savings just to win this war?"

"How can you say their lifetime savings? I'm sure Miss Lie can afford the amount, after all she is the young miss of the Lie's family but what about that beautiful looking lady I bet she can never afford to pay twenty times the amount, I am sure she is just bluffing?" One of the socialites supported Changle.

"I'm certain it is Miss Lie who cannot afford to pay twenty times the amount. Everything that beautiful looking lady is putting on are all limited editions so I'm betting on her, besides my top supermodel is with her so I'm sure they will never lose"

"How could they spend so lavishly on a necklace?" Another lady chipped in.

"Miss Lie's family is filthy rich so she could afford to spend such an amount of money trivially"

"I'm sure I can never spend such amounts of money on jewelleries or clothes," One of the lady sighed painfully.

Lie Changle felt her face flush in embarrassment upon hearing their whispers. "How could these socialites be so quick in changing their judgments? They are just worthless".

Lie Changle's face turn beet red because of anger. She was so disappointed in herself, she shouldn't have started a war with her cousin without preparing an escape route for herself. She was so bent on humiliating her stupid cousin to the point that she momentarily forgot the actual identity of her cousin. She was shocked. She attempted to reply, "You... you....," She stammered.

Xiao Bai was so happy. She interfered, "You..... you... Can't you make a complete sentence anymore? Where did our proud little Miss Lie earlier go to huh...?" Xiao Bai asked mockingly. She was aware of the facts that Lie Changle cannot afford to buy the two necklaces with their current prices.

The head manager decided to interfere before the sales representative will offend the Young Miss any further.

"Miss Lie, I'm sorry I was late? I hope you were not inconvenient in any way?" The head manager hastily asked.

Lie Changle was so happy to see the head manager addressing her, "Mr Tang, it was just a little displeasure, I can handle it," She proudly replies.

"Oh... Miss Lie Changle, what a surprise to see you here?" Mr Tang pretended as if he was surprised to see her there.

"It's not a big deal, I'm glad you are here," She said giving him a seductive smile not taking the hints.

"Miss Lie I'm for sorry for any discomfort you must have experienced from my staff, I sincerely apologise," He bow his head in respect to Lie Ruge.
