Liwu looked around curiously. Fury was still on every face, so no--absolutely nobody cared that it was his own money. And frankly, neither did she. It was a stupid purchase that would put her own husband in the hot seat so yes, she was not happy.
Madam Xu's voice was raised above the rest. "This is an insult. It is betrayal. Manman knows the spending rules I set for my children and she violated them. She is a snake. She will bleed you dry and leave you."
Liwu raised her hand. "I agree, what you did is absurd. Tomorrow, Weijun's political enemies will use this to demand some kind of audit. Now that the system wars are over, if he wants to remain in charge of this city after three years, he has to stand for election. This one billion necklace will be used to discredit him."
A drunk Shen Biao shouted from her chair, "What's this about a billion chickens?"
Everyone froze. Liwu stifled a laugh.
"Not chickens, Biao. A necklace." Yuening clarified.
