Three days passed quickly, and Zhang Xincheng still hadn’t repaid the money.
During these three days, he seemed to have evaporated from the world; not only did he not mention the money, but he also didn’t send a single message.
According to our agreement, I was supposed to contact a lawyer to sue him.
But looking at the photos on my phone, I ultimately softened my heart.
After all, he was my father’s lifesaver, and we had spent three years together. It wasn’t worth tearing our relationship apart over this small amount of money.
Just as I was about to give up on the lawsuit with a mindset of parting amicably, my best friend Lily suddenly sent me a message.
When I opened it, I was shocked to find that Zhang Xincheng had posted a lengthy message about me on his social media!
He had recorded every argument we had over the past three years, pouring out his grievances and playing the victim.
I was belittled to nothing and labeled as ungrateful and petty.
But that wasn’t even what made me angriest. At the end of his post, he wrote:
"Since Ms. Gu Xiaxia insists on breaking up, please return my family’s ancestral jewelry set as soon as possible, or I will involve the police."
Ha! I couldn’t help but laugh. It was just a gold bracelet; calling it an ancestral jewelry set was quite pretentious!
I called Zhang Xincheng only to realize he had blocked me.
I could only reach him using a backup phone number.
As soon as the call connected, a woman's voice came through, "Who is it? You're disturbing me and my husband’s sleep!"
I trembled with anger, taking several deep breaths to calm myself down.
"I'm looking for Zhang Xincheng. Tell him Gu Xiaxia has something important to discuss with him."
After a flurry of rustling clothes on the other end, Zhang Xincheng finally picked up the phone. Once I confirmed it was him, I couldn't hold back my anger any longer.
"What do you mean by this? You owe me money and yet you’re writing little essays to mock me? And it's only been three days since our breakup, and you already have a girlfriend? Do you have no shame at all?"
"I can find a girlfriend after breaking up. Besides, you took my family's jewelry; that pure gold bracelet is worth over a hundred thousand! The fact that I haven't sued you is already showing mercy!"
"You forced that bracelet on me; I never wanted it. I can send it back to you right now, but let me tell you, if you don't pay back the money you owe me, I will definitely sue you!"
"Sure, once I receive the bracelet and confirm it's in good condition, I'll pay you back."
"Oh, and don’t call me again. I don’t want my sweetheart to misunderstand. Please have some self-respect!"
"Damn..."
Before I could finish my sentence, the call was abruptly disconnected.
I was so furious that I struggled to catch my breath, squatting on the ground for a long time before slowly recovering.
Once I calmed down, I immediately sent the bracelet back to him via express delivery with payment on delivery. Let’s see what he has to say now!
That afternoon, it showed that he had signed for the package, and he kept his promise by returning the money to me.
I thought this farce was finally coming to an end.
But unexpectedly, early the next morning, he showed up at my door with his mother, banging on it furiously.
As soon as I opened the door, his mother pointed at me and started to scold me.
"You little thief, how dare you swap out my family's ancestral bracelet! You are utterly shameless!"
"What are you talking about? Who swapped anything? Stop making a scene and get out of here!"
"If you don’t return the bracelet to me, I’m not going anywhere!"
"You look like such a demure young lady, but who would have thought you could be so scheming? If my son hadn’t been cautious and checked, our ancestral bracelet would have been lost in your hands!"
"What check? What nonsense are you spouting?"
"You still won’t admit it!"
"Neighbors, come quick! The girl living in unit 601, Gu Xiaxia, is a scammer! She swapped my ancestral gold bracelet for a gold-plated silver one and still won’t admit it when I caught her!"
Zhang Xincheng's mom had a loud voice, instantly attracting a crowd of curious neighbors.
