Chapter 36: Is He/She a Good Person?

Today, for Little Na Zha who had just turned fifteen not long ago, it truly was an unforgettable day.

In just a short day, her mood went up and down several times.

Let's not mention those earlier things; let's talk about what happened after she saw Chen Ci again.

Na Zha learned what a buffet was for the first time, and she almost embarrassed herself and became a laughingstock.

Fortunately everyone was very friendly, and there was also a pretty older sister who looked after her, teaching him how to use a knife and fork to eat steak, and also teaching her to sing.

By the way, since it would be too troublesome to run back and forth, during the meal Chen Ci had Xiao Tong incidentally teach the five ethnic minority girls to sing.

Because they sang well and were also pretty, the shop owner not only didn't stop them but actively supported them, deliberately clearing a small space in the middle of the shop.

The lively, harmonious scene infected many people; especially Na Zha and Xiao Tong were stunning beauties, attracting countless gazes.

Na Zha, feeling inspired, even improvised an ethnic dance—truly a performance of song and dance, really a feast for the eyes.

Amidst laughter and chatter, after finishing dinner, today's task also came to a satisfactory close.

When the chubby driver uncle drove Na Zha back to the hotel, she was still immersed in the previous atmosphere.

Unconsciously, her impression of Jingcheng gained a few more strokes.

All the way until she said goodbye to the driver uncle, she jogged back to her room.

Of course, this time she didn't forget her bag.

Although her previous bag was still not found, this new one seemed even more beautiful...

"A Jia (older sister)..."

Upon reaching the door of her room, Na Zha was raising her hand to knock when the door opened by itself.

Sister Na Ti's slightly anxious face came into view; seeing that she had returned, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Didn't I say to practice your Mandarin well when you're out?"

"I know, older sister."

Na Zha followed her older sister into the room with a smiling face, changed her shoes, and took off her outer clothing.

"Have you eaten dinner?"

Na Ti asked concernedly; originally she had wanted to accompany Na Zha, but seeing that the previous batches had returned normally, she didn't go.

Na Zha had been attending boarding school since childhood, so this small matter was nothing.

"Mm-hmm." Na Zha nodded enthusiastically; she was thinking about sharing with her sister the sights and feelings from the journey.

At that moment, Na Ti suddenly saw the black bag in Na Zha's hand; even after entering the room she still couldn't put it down.

Na Ti asked, "What is this? Did you find your bag?"

"Um, this..."

A flicker of hesitation flashed in Na Zha's eyes, but facing her sister she chose to come clean.

"My bag still hasn't been found; he said he would give me this bag as compensation."

Na Zha's Mandarin pronunciation is average, but her ability to express concisely seems not bad; she finished with just one sentence.

"Him? You mean that director?"

"Yeah."

Na Ti looked at the bag in her hand, and her brows furrowed suddenly.

"Let me have a look."

"Oh."

Although she didn't understand why, Na Zha obediently handed the bag to her sister.

As soon as she took it, Na Ti's gaze became several degrees more solemn.

The bag's feel, the faint leather scent, the logo of two overlapping uppercase "C"s in the center, and the somewhat faded metal hardware...

"There's also a pair of sunglasses inside."

Na Zha pointed out, she had also discovered it on the way back.

"Inside?"

Na Ti opened the bag and indeed saw the brown women's sunglasses Na Zha mentioned, plus a label with a number on the inside.

Na Ti zipped up the bag and said seriously, "Na Zha, return the bag right away."

"Huh? Why?"

Upon hearing that, Na Zha felt a bit anxious; although she had only had it a short while, she really liked this bag, finding it prettier than her previous one and even fragrant.

She also liked the sunglasses inside; the sun in her hometown summer is much more fierce than in Jingcheng, so wearing them would be very stylish.

"This bag is very expensive; I've seen it in a school magazine before—it's CHANEL 07 spring/summer accessories… Forget it, why am I telling you this? m."

Na Zha clutched the bag in her hand and whispered reluctantly, "It's expensive—just how expensive..."

"Put it this way, the bag plus those sunglasses cost at least twenty thousand yuan."

"Twenty thousand!"

Na Zha looked up in surprise, but saw her sister's stern face, not seeming to be joking.

Na Ti was actually being conservative; this bag and sunglasses are an official limited-edition CHANEL set, and if sold separately they'd be even more expensive.

Moreover, that's the foreign price, not yet including luxury tax.

Na Ti had only seen it in a school fashion magazine; she's majoring in air cabin service, so she still needs to know a bit about luxury goods...

Upon hearing that figure, although Na Zha still felt very reluctant, she also understood the seriousness of the matter and didn't dare to linger.

"Na Zha, tell me from the beginning what happened today."

"Oh..."

Na Zha prepared to put the bag down, but she seemed reluctant to give up its soft feel and the little protruding diamonds on it.

Now she believes these diamonds are real; she never knew what touching a diamond felt like until now...

Seeing her still unwilling to let go, Na Ti felt somewhat helpless, letting out a soft sigh: "Na Zha... just hold onto it for now."

It's so late; better to return it tomorrow, Na Ti thought.

Upon hearing she could keep it, Na Zha immediately hugged it to her chest.

Then she slowly recalled everything that had happened tonight, starting from when Chen Ci waved at her……

Since the events had just occurred, Na Zha recounted them in great detail.

From the beginning, Chen Ci's beautiful big house, all the way up to tonight's dinner.

Even the details of how the pretty sister named Xiao Tong taught her to sing and dance together, she told the sister all of those minutiae.

After listening, Na Ti still had some questions: "He said this bag was found by the police?"

Na Zha quickly nodded; at first she hadn't noticed, but after her sister reminded her she began to feel uneasy—such an expensive bag, would the police come looking for her……

"He's deceiving you."

"Huh?"

Na Ti shook her head almost imperceptibly, based on Na Zha's account and what she herself had personally seen and heard yesterday.

Na Ti was certain this bag was the one Chen Ci gave to Na Zha; as for the bag Na Zha had lost, it probably couldn't be recovered.

One look at Chen Ci and it's clear he's super wealthy—from the car he drives, to the house he lives in, even his attire is quite upscale.

And the things he said to Na Zha could easily deceive such an innocent, naive girl who has never seen the world.

Moreover, this child Na Zha, since she was little… never mind, now is not the time to talk about that.

The most important question now is to figure out what Chen Ci's purpose is in doing all this.

Na Ti is not as naive as Na Zha; she wouldn't think Chen Ci is a great good person.

Even if he's very wealthy, it's unlikely he'd spend so lavishly on kindness toward someone he just met.

"He, why would he deceive people?"

Na Zha felt somewhat dazed; Chen Ci had deceived her, yet gave her a bag she really liked.

So is he actually a good person or not? Na Zha became confused again……
