Chapter 292: Ten Million Dollars

“What?” Meng Xia looked at Song Fan in shock. She had inquired with the staff when changing clothes earlier. High-end evening dresses in upper-class society cost at least several hundred thousand, even millions, and she certainly didn’t have that much money.

Meng Yu had been pretending not to hear. She didn’t want to bear this expense. Despite being Mrs. Song, she didn’t receive much money from Song Yi. He would only occasionally give her expensive gifts, and without those, she wouldn’t be able to maintain her status as Mrs. Song.

Meng Xia knew her aunt’s stingy nature well. She could only awkwardly say, “I don’t have that much money. My whole family can’t come up with this sum.

Sister, can I clean it up and return it to him?”

“How can you say that?” Xu Xin was the first to disagree. “Kevin’s designed dress can’t even be booked half a year in advance. You stole someone else’s dress and now want to return it. Isn’t that freeloading?”

She glanced at Meng Yu, who pretended not to hear, and then loudly said, “Aren’t you the daughter of the Song family? The Song family has plenty of money. Let your godmother pay for it.”

Upon hearing her words, Song Yi furrowed his brow. He was currently in discussions with several company executives about next quarter’s collaborations. He didn’t want these girls’ antics to ruin the reputation of the Song Group.

He quickly signaled to Meng Yu, and she reluctantly walked over, putting on a fake smile. “Fanfan, this set of dresses was originally a gift for you. What’s given to you is yours. If you don’t want to wear it, why not give it to your sister? We’re all family; why talk about money? It hurts our relationship, you know?”

She then tugged at Song Kai’s sleeve. “Song Kai, say something. You know Xiao

Xia’s situation. She doesn’t have that much money. How can you treat your lifesaver in this way?”

Meng Yu intended to drag Song Kai into this. She knew the value of this dress. Without several million, it would be impossible to take it back. Song Yi would definitely not foot the bill for her mistake, leaving her with no choice but to pay.

Upon scratching his head, Song Kai, thinking about Song Fan losing her clothes and almost losing her necklace, also thought about Meng Yu’s mistreatment of her. He said naively, “Aunt, Xiao Xia doesn’t have money, I know. But you do. Although the dress was meant for my little sister, she didn’t even get to wear it; it was taken by someone else. How can two people wear the same dress? Xiao Xia recognizes you as her godmother, so you should settle the bill with Kevin, the designer.”

He had no concept of the dress’s price but didn’t want Song Fan to suffer. He added, “Fortunately, we don’t have to buy the necklace; otherwise, that necklace is worth over twenty million dollars! If our family suddenly comes up with several million, wouldn’t that be quite a sum?”

Song Fan couldn’t help but want to applaud him. Although her brother lacked brains, the things he said could infuriate people.

Several people with competitive relationships with the Song family immediately spoke up.

“Is the Song family so poor now? Stealing a daughter’s dress and jewelry, this is unheard of.

“Offending Kevin, the Song family will probably be criticized severely in the fashion industry. Can their jewelry brand still open up the international market?”

“This dress is worth at least several million, right? Miss Song didn’t wear it, and the design has been exposed in advance. It’s normal to incur losses, isn’t

“Mrs. Song is still as stingy as before. I wonder if the Song family has been struggling these years. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so tight-fisted, right?”

Rumors and gossip had the most significant impact in this circle. Not only did they insult Meng Yu, but some also hinted at economic troubles in the Song family.

Song Yi, listening to the discussions of the ladies and misses around, became increasingly anxious. Even the executives who were talking with him began to tease him. His complexion became increasingly unpleasant.

After so many years of marriage, Meng Yu knew that when Song Yi was about to lose his temper, especially when it involved the Song family’s interests, he absolutely couldn’t tolerate it.

Meng Yu gritted her teeth and forced out a smile, then said to Song Fan, “It’s just a dress. The Song family can afford it. There’s ten million dollars in this card. Consider it as buying this dress. I happen to think Xiao Xia doesn’t fit well in it. We’ll find someone to modify it later, and she can wear it next time..”
