When Lan Ruomei and Lin Haotian heard Gu Qingming's words, they immediately had a bad feeling.
"You, from the time I met you until now, the jewelry, clothes, and bags I gave you were worth more than three million dollars. I even invited you to travel, eat, and stay in five-star hotels from time to time. After calculating these, it has already exceeded four million dollars. Then I'll kindly give you a discount. You can just return me four million!"
Gu Qingming had settled the score with them.
"That much?" Lan Ruomei couldn't believe it. "You gave me cheap stuff. Where does all that money come from? You must have been eyeing me."
"Eyeing you? Hehe, Lan Ruomei, what do you have on you that's worth my attention?" Gu Qingming said mockingly. "Before you knew me, everything that you wore, even the most expensive, would not cost more than a thousand dollars.
"But ever since you met a fool like me, the clothes you wear cost thousands of dollars per set or even tens of thousands of dollars. The jewelry you wear costs tens of thousands of dollars or more. There are also cosmetics and bags. Have I ever hankered after yours?"
"In the end, I got myself two ingrates." Gu Qingming mocked herself. "Hehe, no, you guys are ingrates with wild ambitions."
Lan Ruomei's expression was extremely interesting, and Lin Haotian's expression was not any better.
"Alright, since you guys are so disdainful of me, isn't it normal for me to take back what I gave?" Gu Qingming said with disdain in his eyes. "Even if I feed my things to the dogs now, I can't leave anything for you."
While they enjoyed the superior pleasure she gave them, they continued to scheme against her. In fact, they wished they could stomp her into the mud. They treated her so maliciously, yet she could still be magnanimous and not pursue everything that had happened in the past.
"You can't!" Lan Ruomei's heart almost bled at the thought of Gu Qingming taking back that precious jewelry and the bags. "Since those things have been given to me, they're mine. They're my private belongings. You have no right to take them back!"
If those things were really taken back, how could she dress herself up delicately? Women needed embellishment to look good. If she didn't have these things, how could she attract the attention of the rich and elite?
From the looks of it, Lin Haotian was already crippled. She had to plan for her future. She didn't want to spend the rest of her life counting pennies. She wanted to live like a rich lady who spent money like water.
Her greed and selfishness were on full display now.
Gu Qingming glanced at her disdainfully and said lightly, "Oh, if I call the police and say that my things are missing, do you think the police will file a case? According to the law, if the amount of theft is huge, it can be sentenced, and it will be for several years."
Lan Ruomei's pupils constricted, and her expression was one of disbelief. She pointed at Gu Qingming. "How… how could you do this? You were the one who gave me those!"
"Hehe, I gave them to you?" Gu Qingming sneered. "Is there any evidence or proof? However, the bills are all there!"
His father had taught her that. To business people, notes, invoices, and such things were important. Therefore, they had to be kept, no matter the amount!
Initially, she did not take these gifts to heart. After all, Lan Ruomei was her good friend and she had given them to her willingly.
But saving notes and sorting such things had become her habit. She did not expect that one day, she would have to use these things to deal with the person she had once treated sincerely.
Lan Ruomei glared at Gu Qingming and scolded, "Gu Qingming, you vicious woman, how can you do this? You're trying to completely destroy me, aren't you? You'll definitely get your retribution."
"Retribution?" Gu Qingming said in amusement. "If there really is retribution, it will be on you two heartless things. I don't think I've ever done you any wrong. In fact, I've always been kind to you. After all, one was my boyfriend and the other, my best friend."
