Ye Yao started to apologize. “I really didn’t do it on purpose. You don’t give me much pocket money to begin with. With a deduction, I won’t have money to live on. I will have no choice but to work part-time to earn money. I don’t have any education or skills, so I can only wash dishes. I’m so pitiful…” She made herself sound pitiful, but Huo Buyu was unmoved.
At this point, there was a knock on the door. “Mr. Huo, I’m the chandelier repairman. May I enter?”
Huo Buyu ignored Ye Yao. He took her hand and led her to the door. There were a few workers at the door. The leader asked, “Did you say your chandelier
“Yes.” Huo Buyu let the workers in. When they saw the chandelier that had fallen, the workers exclaimed, “That’s pretty serious. Is anyone injured?”
Huo Buyu said without any change in his expression, “No, there was no one at home when the chandelier fell.”
The worker heaved a sigh of relief and began to tidy up the fragments on the ground.
“That shouldn’t be the case. This is the best chandelier available. Moreover, there are workers coming to check on it every three years. The hooks on it can take weights of up to five tons without an issue. How could it suddenly fall?” The worker muttered to himself as he cleaned up. Ye Yao’s hands started to sweat, and she was starting to feel a little embarrassed. When Huo Buyu noticed this, he snorted. There was nothing wrong with the quality of the chandelier, the problem was with Ye Yao. Even hooks that could take up to five tons of weight would give way with Ye Yao’s jinx!
The problem wasn’t with the light! It was with Ye Yao!
The worker said to Huo Buyu, “Mr. Huo, this chandelier is under lifetime servicing from our company. Now that it has shattered, we need to send the broken pieces back. But don’t worry, our shop will send another chandelier over for free and install it for you. I hope you’ll be satisfied.”
Huo Buyu frowned. “My cat broke this chandelier. It has nothing to do with the quality of your shop’s product. Help me clean it up. Send a new one over later. I’ll pay for it.”
The worker looked at Huo Buyu in disbelief. Was there something wrong with these wealthy people? This chandelier cost 30 million yuan. It was decorated with precious crystals and even embedded with gems. Now that it was broken, he didn’t want a free replacement but insisted on paying?
Noticing the worker’s shocked expression, Huo Buyu continued, “If you wish to compensate, one of the doors upstairs is broken. Help me repair it.”
He didn’t want the 30 million yuan chandelier as compensation, but would rather a door? Was the door was made of gold? The worker went upstairs curiously and realized that the door looked like an ordinary one, although it was a good door. But it couldn’t compare to the 30 million yuan chandelier.
The worker looked at the broken chandelier downstairs and then at the door lying on the floor upstairs. He asked, “Mr. Huo, did you encounter a burglar? Why don’t… we preserve the scene and call the police?
Ye Yao subconsciously hid behind Huo Buyu and reached out to poke his lower back. Don’t call the police! Don’t call the police!
Huo Buyu turned around and held Ye Yao’s restless hand. Then, he said to the worker, “My cat did this. There was no burglar. There’s no need to call the police. Are you able to fix this door?”
The worker examined the fallen door and nodded. “The door is undamaged, but the screws on it are loose. I can just tighten it.” Then he started working with the other workers, but as he worked, he muttered, “To be able to crash such a valuable chandelier and dismantle a door, what kind of cat is this? It’s not a big monster, is it?”
Huo Buyu couldn’t help laughing. What the worker said made perfect sense. It was a big monster!
Ye Yao punched Huo Buyu’s arm angrily!
The door was easy to fix. The workers also cleaned up the remaining chandelier fragments downstairs and left. Furthermore, they arranged with Huo Buyu to return the next day to install the new chandelier.
After the workers left, Ye Yao said unsatisfactorily, “Huo Buyu, you’re a little too much! The company said you didn’t have to pay, but you insist on doing so, and on the other hand, you’re deducting my pocket money. You’re too evil!”
Huo Buyu’s expression darkened. “This chandelier fell because you jinxed it, yet you expect their company to bear the losses. Do you wish to suffer a backlash?” If she were to cause harm to someone else’s mental health, state of mind, or finances, Ye Yao would suffer a backlash.
Huo Buyu’s words made Ye Yao shudder. She got nervous thinking of the backlash she suffered previously..
