Chapter 258 The Truth

**************

CHAPTER 258

Gao Yuemi's flew wide open once more at his proposal. There was no way she could agree with such a thing.

With her anger getting the best of her, she had forgotten where she was and the probability that would be considered.

"Umm, Huh… There…"

Not listening to any words coming from her lips, he turned his head to the side and beckoned to the security guard.

"I am sorry, but please in order to settle these ladies, do you think you can make an exception? I want to speak to the manager to let us take a look at the CCTV footage?"

"So long as you can, I am sure she would make an exception as this involves her customers."

"No!" Gao Yuemi interjected sharply.

She waved her hands in front of the security guard and shook her head at him, giving him her best smile.

"There would be really no need. That is all the truth that needs to be known."

"I am sorry, Miss Gao but as you can see from their faces," Ye Yuan stated as he cast a quick glance around. "Only you have that idea and notion of the truth."

"I…" Her eyes teared up instantly as she looked around as well.

It was pronounced she was cornered. She had indeed dug her own pit.

"No. I may have reacted a little but no need for that. In fact, I do not hold a grudge."

"I am sorry. I gave you your chance and you threw it away. Now if you do not want to disgrace yourself further, let us do the right thing. This way justice is upheld for everyone. And if it be she is the one at fault, believe me, I would not let her go."

"No," she managed a strained smile but nothing seemed to move him.

Returning his gaze to the security guard, "Please bring them along. I would love to see the manager. If you do not mind, sir."

"Sure. I am sorry Miss." He smiled at the five of them and widened his arm, "This way, please."

As they went, Gao Yuemi bit her lower lip just thinking of the problem she was going to enter with her stupidity. Should it get to manager level, she wasn't sure if she could save her face nor her family's name.'

Suddenly she stopped dead in her tracks and lowered her back, taking a full bow before them all.

"I am sorry. There really is no need to go to that length. I would confess. I was wrong. I attacked her."

"No, I…"

"Please. Let's not drag this further. I was the one at fault and I would compensate her. Please."

Ye Yuan averted his eyes from Gao Yuemi and let them land on Andromeda.

The latter till now kept silent about everything and did as she was told. He admired her composure and calmness even in such a situation.

"What do you want since you were the one she hurt?"

Andromeda parted her lips and exhaled sharply but no words came out. Casting one more glance at the bowing Gao Yuemi, she held back a smile and nodded her head.

"Fine."

"You want to hear her out?" He asked one last time to clarify things.

"Yes. As much as watching the footage is preferable, at least she is ready to speak the truth. I would save her face."

Gao Yuemi gritted her teeth from where she remained bowed before them. 'Damn you, Andromeda. I would get my payback. I promise you.'

"Okay. Thank you, sir." He dipped his head a bit at the security guard. "I would take it from here. Forgive me us."

"No worries. I am happy things are getting on track. Ms, please ensure you tell the truth this time."

Straightening her back, Gao Yuemi replied with a forced smile. "Got it."

They spent the next couple of minutes explaining themselves and once the whole truth was out, Ye Yuan sent a cold glare at Gao Yuemi.

Had it been he was not here as Ye Yuan, heaven knew what he would have done to her and how personally he would have taken it.

He used to think she was a nice person and all her other troubles were disturbing him with her love.

However, watching her jealousy eat her and take control of her actions, he felt irritated.

And the sheer thought she had the nerve to make such requests of Andromeda was another punishable offence.

Not saying much, he nodded at them after Gao Yuemi rendered her apology to Andromeda.

"Forgiven her?"

"Yes. But I would like for her to make sure never to cross my path ever again. I think my life would be better without people like her coming to mess things up."

Gao Yuemi lowered her head in defeat before nodding slightly.

"How do you plan to compensate?" Ye Yuan said out of the blue to their surprise.

They thought he had forgotten all about it, and then that was a lie.

She was his baby. He wouldn't let anyone bully her and whoever did would have to dance to the tune of his beats.

Besides, he was happy to save the situation on time.

"I huh… I would umm," Gao Yuemi had her eyes scan around quickly for something until they landed on the bags with Peng Xiaoli. "That."

Lifting their brows, Andromeda and Ye Yuan remained silent as they waited for the seemingly happy Gao Yuemi.

"I would pay for everything they bought today."

"Not needed," Andromeda snapped immediately.

She had taken them shopping and paid for their items. She was not ready to have anything bought by the brainless witch.

"It seems like a fair compensation gift," Ye Yuan pushed.

He did not want Go Yuemi to go scot-free. If anything, she should feel the insult from her pockets as well.

But looking at it, Andromeda seemed to have other plans.

More or less, the latter did not wish for the first lingerie set she bought for Liu Xueyi's eyes to be paid for by this soul.

Anything but that.

"Why if I may ask?"

"I am not petty like her. Her apology is enough. Besides I have made payments for those items. Nevertheless, if she feels she must compensate me, then let her owe me one. With this, I can call it even."
