Chapter 660: As If You Can Afford It
After saying that, she turned to look at the principal of the kindergarten and said, “Together with them, apologize to Mu Mu and his mother, and I’ll let this matter slip. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being calculative.”
“Wow, you sound so confident and intimidating. If you really have what it takes, show us the item. You’re hiding because you’re afraid of getting exposed, aren’t you? All of you are thieves!”
“I didn’t steal anything. It belongs to me in the first place,” Mu Mu continued to retort.
He Zipeng’s mother was even more insistent and overbearing. “How would we know if he stole from my son if he doesn’t take the toy out? Hurry up, it costs more than 10,000 yuan. We can actually call the police.”
Tan Sangsang whispered comfortingly, “Mu Mu, I trust you but I need you to take the toy out now, okay?”
With tears in his eyes, Mu Mu said, “Mommy, I really didn’t steal it, I brought the toy to school to share it with everyone.”
Yan Jinyi walked over and reached out to pinch Mu Mu’s face. “Take it out, it’s alright. With me around, no one can bully you. I will protect you.”
Mu Mu’s eyes were filled with tears and he raised his hand to rub the lower corner of his eye before carefully taking out the toy in his bag.
It was a Transformers toy that had already had its head ripped off. It was obvious that the material was of high quality and the toy was clearly expensive.
Yan Jinyi was slightly shocked because the toy was really a gift from her.
‘When did I ever give Mu Mu such an expensive toy?’
After racking her brains for a long time, she came to a sudden realization and recalled that she had bought it a few days after she just received Huo Xishen’s black card. At that time, she didn’t care about the price at all.
He Zipeng’s mother inched closer to her husband and asked, “Hello, have we ever bought this for Pengpeng?”
“I don’t remember.”
“Whatever, since Pengpeng said that the toy belongs to him, it must be the case.” Afterwards, she pointed to the toy in Mu Mu’s hand and said righteously, “This is the toy I bought for Pengpeng, and now the truth is out. Tan Yunsen is a thief. As his parent, you don’t even lead by example and you even bullied us. You must apologize to me now.”
As she spoke, she looked at Yan Jinyi and said, “And you must kowtow to us to apologize. I chose not to hit you back because we have class and we don’t want to hold it against uncultured people like you. You can’t bully my son, though.”
“Are you sure you bought it?”
“Of course.”
“Where and which store did you get this from? Do you have a receipt?”
He Zipeng’s mother was stunned but she continued to be insistent. “The best mall in Shenyang. As for the receipt, well, I never ask for receipts for anything I buy. It’s just a toy that costs over 10,000 yuan. We can very well afford it. Do you want to ask my nanny?”
“If you can’t even produce the receipt, how can you prove that you bought it?” Yan Jinyi rolled her eyes and said with disdain.
“You’re making it sound as if you can afford it.”
Yan Jinyi smoothened her hair and then retorted, “You’re talking as if you can afford it.”
Finding Yan Jinyi really annoying, He Zipeng’s mother got impatient and continued to pressure the principal further, “Expel Tan Yunsen immediately, or else, we won’t donate any more funds to the school next year. You can forget about that plot of land too.”
“No, no, no, no, Mrs. He, let’s talk things over calmly.” The principal began to get flustered. “Miss Tan, hurry up and apologize. We have rules that stipulate that our students will be punished for stealing. I hope you will cooperate.”
Yan Jinyi flew into a rage. “Bullsh*t, did you see Mu Mu stealing? Are you siding with them only because they’re rich?”
The principal could already tell that Yan Jinyi was extremely angst. “You’re Mu Mu’s aunt, right? Mrs. He has already said that she’s the one who bought the toy. Besides, it’s true that Pengpeng often brings expensive toys to school.”
