Chapter 222: Chapter 222

Chen Xue’er’s face turned from green to red, her whole body stiffening in an instant.

Chen Xue’er saw the increasingly hostile glances from the crowd and stammered in fear, "I... I..."

Chen Xue’er was panicked; she never thought it would turn out .

To be directly exposed by Su Li.

And seeing Su Li’s calm demeanor, could it be she had known all along?

"So she isn’t actually allergic to sunlight? Just now, I let her in first under the bright sun!" The dark-skinned man was angry, his tiger eyes wide open, fists clenched tightly.

"Is this what happens when you try to gain an advantage but end up worse off? So malicious at such a young age? Well, now, let’s see how she compensates for Painting God’s ’Spring Day Painting’!" a nearby woman said somewhat coldly.

In an instant, everyone turned against Chen Xue’er, pointing and sneering at her, their eyes full of disdain.

They felt a bit of sympathy and guilt towards Su Li; just a moment ago at the door, they had accused this young girl.

The burly man blushed and offered an apology to Su Li voluntarily. The source of this content ɪs novelFɪre.net

Su Li didn’t take these passersby to heart at all, merely giving a faint smile.

The art gallery director approached with security, casting a wary eye between the two.

The invisible pressure rushed in instantly, making it hard to breathe; Chen Xue’er turned a shade paler from fright.

The art gallery director looked at Su Li, then stared at Chen Xue’er and said in a slightly harsh tone, "Miss, please discuss compensation with us."

These two words instantly terrified Chen Xue’er into a daze.

Experts estimate that the ’Spring Day Painting’ is worth ten million!

How could she possibly pay that back?

Chen Xue’er’s body shuddered, and she couldn’t help but raise her voice, "Di... Director, wasn’t it you who said the painting was a forgery?"

The director chuckled angrily, "A forgery? When did I say it was a forgery? The higher-ups made it very clear, if Miss Su Li damaged it, then it doesn’t matter!"

These words made it very clear.

If Su Li damaged it, then it doesn’t matter, treat it as if the incident never happened.

But if someone else damaged it, then one must compensate according to its value!

Chen Xue’er understood the message and nearly fainted from anger!

She has to pay ten million?

How could she possibly afford it?

Chen Xue’er’s face changed again and again, her body involuntarily trembling.

Xu Haohao covered her delicate nose lightly and said bluntly, "Reeking of poverty, how dare you come to such a place? You break it, can you afford to pay?"

Chen Xue’er’s face was flushed red, her hands clenched tightly together.

Those words, those were the words she had just said to Su Li and the others!

Xu Haohao returned them word for word...

The stench of poverty!

Su Li didn’t even care about a million; who truly reeks of poverty?

Chen Xue’er looked at Su Li with a face full of embarrassment and awkwardness, along with an undeniable fear in her eyes.

The art gallery director grew impatient and reminded once more, "This... Miss Chen, right? Please come with us."

To pay that ten million?

Chen Xue’er suddenly rushed out, grabbing Su Li’s clothing hem tightly, crying out, "Su Li, you can’t just stand by and watch! We’re both from Jiang City, we used to know each other. You won’t let me pay this ten million, right?"

Su Li’s lips revealed a smile, "If I don’t help, what can you do to me?"

Chen Xue’er fell to the ground, her eyes red, crying out, "It’s just a matter of saying a word, why won’t you help me?!"
