They were in charge of the security today. They were on guard against anyone bringing a gun and stealing the red diamond. Who would have thought that the red diamond would be broken by children?
The person in charge of the insurance company walked over and said, “Miss Zheng, we’ll verify the situation immediately. After we confirm the matter, we’ll compensate according to the previous insurance.”
Zheng Mengwei finally came back to her senses. She realized that not only would she not lose out, but she would also gain something.
The secret of the red diamond would also be buried.
Someone immediately retrieved the surveillance footage and released it in front of everyone.
It turned out that these children were originally playing in the playground. Later, there were fewer people in the middle of the exhibition, so they went over.
Their destructive power was very shocking. Wherever they went, they would cause a mess. The staff did not dare to criticize them too much.
Among them, Han Zixuan was the one who caused the most trouble. No one dared to say anything about him.
Xiao Bao appeared behind the group of children. As for Jingyun, he never participated in the ruckus they made.
Seeing the children appear on the screen, the parents naturally had to educate the children.
However, some elders still came forward to say a few fair words. “Although the insurance company will compensate the Zheng family for their losses today, the children really need to be disciplined. We’re all reputable families in Jingdu City. If we don’t teach the children now, it’ll be too late in the future!”
“Yes, that makes sense. Children can’t be spoiled all the time. They still have to be disciplined.”
The person in charge of the insurance company said in a pained tone, “Everyone, although the children did not do it on purpose, we still have to hold the parents accountable for breaking such an expensive thing.”
Hearing that they had to take responsibility, the expressions of many parents changed drastically.
This red diamond was priceless. Now that it had fallen to such a state, how much would they have to compensate?
The children were just playing around. Wasn’t the price to pay too high?
Someone immediately said, “Is this really a red diamond? How can it shatter like this? Can diamonds shatter? The diamond on my own diamond ring can’t shatter like this.”
Zheng Mengwei said, “Mrs. Guo, the hardness of diamonds are proportional. It’s like glass. You can’t break it with your bare hands, but it’ll easily shatter when it falls to the ground. As for your diamond ring, that’s because the diamond is relatively small and inlaid. Naturally, it won’t break.”
“Could it be that we have to compensate for this loss?” Mrs. Guo did not want to compensate. “The children were just playing around. There are so many children. How are we going to split the responsibility?”
Although she was not short of money, it would not be easy for her to fork out such a large sum of compensation.
The other parents also said, “It’s fine if you want us to bear some responsibility, but you can’t expect us to compensate you for everything. The value of this red diamond is probably in the range of hundreds of millions of yuan. It’s not fair for us to compensate you like this.”
Zheng Mengwei immediately said, “You’re all friends of mine, and you’re only here to visit my exhibition. Logically speaking, I shouldn’t ask everyone to compensate me. But it’s not easy for the insurance company… Why don’t we compromise? I won’t let the insurance company compensate for everything. I’ll bear half the responsibility myself. The insurance company will bear half. You can discuss with the insurance company regarding each child’s involvement and responsibility.”
After all, she was in the wrong. She would not ask the insurance company for a full compensation.
However, even if the insurance company compensated half of it and asked the parents of these children to pay for it, it would still be a considerable amount.
Mrs. Guo was obviously unwilling and said, “My child was running in the corner. He didn’t touch the glass container. I don’t think my family should have to compensate.”
“I don’t think so either.” Another parent immediately stood up. “Actually, I think the kids might have been led here by someone. I’m afraid the leader will have to bear the main responsibility for this matter!”
Initially, everyone tried their best not to offend each other, but when it came to benefits, they couldn’t sit still anymore. All of them couldn’t wait to push the responsibility away.
“Then check the surveillance cameras to verify who’s the leader!”
Hearing this, Han Zixuan immediately retreated behind Han Tian.
Although he wanted to see the world in chaos and liked to cause trouble, he could hear the seriousness of the matter and could not wait to reduce his presence.
Han Tian was a little worried. Could it really be Han Zixuan who brought the children over?
If he really had to compensate, how would they do it?
Initially, she was kind enough to help Zheng Mengwei and try to blame the insurance company for the loss of the red diamond. She did not expect the insurance company to hold the children responsible for causing trouble.
The surveillance footage was pulled out. When everyone watched it, they did not know what to say.
The child with group appeal today was undoubtedly Su Zhuoqian’s son, Xiao
Bao. Everywhere he went, many children would follow his lead.
Although there was no clear evidence that he had brought the children to the exhibition hall, it was obvious that everyone tacitly agreed that he had such leadership skills.
Realizing this situation, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. At least the Su family did not lack this bit of money and would not fall out with everyone.
Someone immediately smiled and said, “Xiao Bao, the little prince, really has
President Su’s demeanor. He’s convincing no matter where he goes. How impressive!”
“Like father, like son!”
“The little prince has always been lively and active. No wonder he’s so popular with children.
Although these words were praise, it was obvious that they meant to push the blame to Xiao Bao.
Zheng Mengwei did not expect it to be Xiao Bao either. She said softly, “Zhuoqian, since Xiao Bao has to take some responsibility, as your friend, I’ll take that responsibility for him.”
Although it would cost a lot, it was indeed not a loss to gain such a big favor with a fake red diamond.
“Miss Zheng, your words don’t make sense.”
Everyone looked over and saw that the person who spoke was the most popular female artiste, Qiao Weiyang.
Many people knew that she had appeared by Su Zhuoqian’s side, but they were not very sure about their relationship.
Hearing her words, everyone could not help but listen attentively.
“Miss Qiao, if you have anything to say, just say it.” Zheng Mengwei was most afraid that Qiao Weiyang would pester her about the red diamond.
But on second thought, Qiao Weiyang didn’t have any evidence, so it was useless to say anything.
Who would believe her?
