Chapter 1271 - 1290: Slap in the Face

"Do you want to keep this watch for yourself?" Nan Fei asked coldly.
Xun Ling’s eyes flickered with a hint of guilt; she did have taste, and recognized at a glance that the watch was valuable. Surely it was worth more than the full stationery set she had mentioned, and whether she would actually give the stationery was another matter altogether!
Her previous words were nothing but empty talk.
"This is a birthday gift from He Shasha to me, none of your business," Xun Ling said irritably. "Get lost already."
"Hmph!" Nan Fei snorted coldly. "It was clear that you asked to try it on from her wrist and once it was on, you refused to return it! And now you have the nerve to claim it was a birthday gift to you?"
The few girls who had accompanied Xun Ling had smartly chosen neutrality, with none of them taking sides.
"I... it was a gift for me, if you don’t believe it, ask everyone."
"That’s right! It indeed was He Shasha giving Xun Ling the gift," the girl who previously spoke for Xun Ling chimed in loudly.
Nan Fei couldn’t help but shake her head and raised her voice slightly in response, "Did you even consider the value of the watch when you brazenly asked someone for it as a gift?"
"What value?" Xun Ling knew it was expensive but would certainly not be silly enough to mention exactly how much.
