Chapter 115
However, if Xavier became “brothers” with Veronica, their relationship might improve, and she might come to realize his good points. Perhaps one day, it would not be impossible for her to be willing to date him.
He let out an awkward laugh. “Haha! Sure, why not? From now on, I‘ve gained another sister.”
“Sister? Oh, by the way, do you know Melissa? I met her when I went to Almeida this time. Your sister has a really good personality and is quite likable.” Veronica subtly changed the topic to talk about Melissa.
Xavier nodded in agreement. “Well, yes. Melissa is very nice, and we have a good relationship.” As he said that, he used his foot to open the trash can on the side and tossed the ring in.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Seeing that, Veronica couldn‘t help but be shocked. “Why are you throwing the ring away? It‘s very expensive, you know.”
“It‘s not that expensive actually. I have no use for it.”
“What do you mean? You can at least keep it and give it to other girls.”
A ring was a great tool for flirting with girls, so it was a pity to just throw it away. More importantly, it must‘ve cost a pretty penny
“I can‘t give it away.”
“Why not?”
“Your name is engraved on it.”
“My name?” Veronica wrinkled her eyebrows and looked sideways at the trash can next to the bed, feeling her heart ache.
After giving it some thought, she suggested, “How about you sell it to me for cheap?”
“Sell it to you for cheap? How?” Xavier was a little puzzled by her words.
“You‘re going to throw it away anyway, so just sell it to me for cheap. How much did you buy it? I‘ll give you an estimate.” Veronica blinked her bright eyes, her expression expectant.
instantly: Xavier understood what Veronica meant, and after thinking about it, he ad. “I boughu it for 99,000, but if you want it, I‘ll sell it to you for 9,900.”
“9.900: That‘s so expensive! Bro, how could you charge me that much for something you‘re about to throw away? As siblings, the least you could do is give me a discount.”
“Then how much do you want it for?”
“Round it off,”
“9:000?”
“Ugh. Shouldn‘t it be 5,000 if you round it off?”
9,900 rounded off is 5,000? Her way of thinking is... odd. Xavier would have never thought that he would be rejected after his first proposal to a woman in his life, and that he would sell the engagement ring he had prepared instead of giving it away.
“Fine, I‘ll sell it for 5,000.”
Xavier picked up the ring from the trash can and handed it to her. “I‘ll give you the ring. You can give me the 5,000 once you‘re back in Bloomstead.”
“Hehe, of course.”
Ignoring the dangling needle on the back of her hand, Veronica took the ring and excitedly began to examine it. “It‘s so shiny.”
Now that she had bought a ring that originally cost 99,000 for 5,000, she could earn a huge profit after pawning it off. Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. What a steal.
“Of course I like it. I‘m in love with it.” As long as it can be sold for money, anything‘s good. Veronica did not try on the ring, but carefully stuffed it into the ring box and placed it on the table instead, before she continued chatting with Xavier.
