Chapter 387: I'm Poor, So I'm Right

~9 min read 1,743 words

It is currently time to pick up the children, and the school gate is full of parents preparing to do so; with her shouting and making a scene like this, a circle of onlookers immediately gathered to watch the spectacle.

Shi Liu pushed the door open and got out of the car, scolding her angrily: "Are you crazy? Try saying that nonsense one more time? Do you believe I'll beat you to death?"

Shi Liu is young and hot-blooded.

Furthermore, his duty is to protect Shi Youxuan's safety; seeing this woman spouting nonsense and being unreasonable, he was furious.

A shrew making a scene is only afraid of having no response; now that Shi Liu had come out, it gave her a reason to change up her tactics for throwing a tantrum. The warning was not only useless, but the woman also began to clamor even more loudly.

"This is outrageous, everyone come and look, they're killing someone!" Even though Shi Liu was still half a meter away from her and hadn't touched her with a single finger, she began to wail loudly, clearly staging a scam.

Those in the circle saw it, while those outside the circle couldn't see and guessed whatever they wanted.

"What's going on?"

"Rich people bullying others, didn't you hear what that woman just said? Her family is poor, and her child got into the Rocket Class only to be replaced by a child from a rich family. Sigh, there's really no way for the poor to live now; they get bullied everywhere."

"Yo, this really needs to be kicked up a fuss, best to take it all the way to the Education Bureau..."

Shi Youxuan hadn't done anything, yet a huge pot was dropped on her from the sky, covering her completely.

Shi Liu had never seen such a person; before he had even made a move, she was already howling like a slaughtered pig.

For a moment, he was in a dilemma, standing on the spot not knowing what to do.

Shi Youxuan was very calm; she did not get out of the car.

Instead, she took out her phone, recorded a short video of Fang Mingxing's mother's performance, sent it to someone, and after sending it, sat in the car and closed her eyes to rest.

Soon, the Principal received a call from the Security Guard and ran out of his office.

This Principal is an acting principal; the original principal went abroad for a lecture and was not in the country, so the vice principal was promoted to acting principal.

The vice principal is short and fat, and he was already panting for breath after running across the Playground.

He didn't even have time to catch his breath or rest, and hurriedly pushed through the crowd to get into the circle.

Sure enough, it was Fang Mingxing's mother making trouble.

The Principal also had a headache when he saw her.

"Fang Mingxing's mother, isn't it too unreasonable for you to do this? It was clearly you who initiated the provocation, and Shi Ran's mother had already agreed not to pursue it further. Now you're coming to the school gate to make a scene, what exactly is your intention?"

The Principal is knowledgeable and experienced, and he speaks with authority.

With one sentence, he summarized the situation, sparing the onlookers from guessing for themselves and expanding the negative impact.

When that woman saw the Principal come over, she wasn't afraid; not only was she not afraid, she completely overturned everything she had promised, refusing to admit to a single word!

"Bah! You took money from that vixen and are speaking in her favor in every word. You forced me to apologize to that woman, or else you'd make my son drop out; dare I not listen? I am wronged, I am wronged; why won't the heavens send down snow..."

The heavens probably fear evil people too.

As she shouted this, snowflakes actually began to drift down from the sky.

It is currently winter, and today is an overcast day; the weather forecast had already predicted snow for today.

But the timing was just too coincidental, and when the woman saw the snow, she immediately became even more energized.

She shouted at the top of her lungs: "Look, it's snowing, isn't it? The heavens know I'm wronged, they can't stand them bullying the poor, the heavens have opened their eyes..."

Because of her making such a scene, the impact was already very bad.

The vice principal previously focused mainly on administration and admissions work and did not deal with parents directly; he lacked experience in handling such people and was so anxious that a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead in the cold weather!

He decided to compromise; he could not let that woman continue to make a scene, as the impact was too negative.

So he said to the woman: "Fang Mingxing's mother, the ground is cold, why don't you get up and talk? If you have any demands, just state them; as long as they aren't excessive, I will try my best to satisfy you!"

He signaled to the Security Guard nearby, and the Security Guard understood, immediately sending two people over to prepare to pull her up.

"Don't touch me!" The woman let out a howl that scared the Security Guard so much he didn't dare to move.

She sat on the ground, her triangular eyes narrowed, glancing sideways at the Principal, and then looked at the car with malicious intent.

Just now, she hadn't just been purely throwing a tantrum and acting like a rascal; in reality, she had been calculating in her heart how much of a benefit she wanted.

This car of Shi Youxuan's is worth at least two million; she prepared to be "not greedy" and just demand this car as compensation.

She had been coveting this car for a long time; just now, a brick had hit it and nothing happened, not even a mark was left, so she liked this car even more.

As for the school, this woman had already planned it out well: force the Principal to agree to let her son enter the Rocket Class!

There was no need to replace Shi Ran, just add one more spot; when the time came, he would sit at the same desk as Shi Ran, and presumably, they wouldn't dare to object.

The woman had planned it well, but she also knew these people wouldn't easily agree to her demands, so she had to make the matter big, make it so they couldn't clean up the mess, and they would agree to her conditions under pressure.

The timing wasn't right yet, she couldn't get up easily.

"Fang Mingxing's mother, if you don't want to get up and talk, that's fine; we'll call the police, and we can go to the police station to talk."

"Call them then, call 110 right now, get the police here, and have them call the people from the Education Bureau while they're at it, let the Education Bureau thoroughly investigate how much corrupt behavior exists in your school?"

She had used this trick many times, and it was almost always effective.

Whether there were problems or not, making a big scene was never good for the school!

The vice principal was indeed hesitant; the Principal was not home and had left the school in his charge. If, during his tenure, a matter involving parents arguing led to the Education Bureau, it would definitely affect his future career.

He asked Fang Mingxing's mother again what she wanted.

Seeing that it was about time, the woman got up this time and said arrogantly: "Are you going to talk here, or are we going inside the school to talk?"

Of course, the vice principal wanted to talk in the office; the school gate was full of parents, and the impact was bad.

"Let's talk inside, let's talk in my office."

She smoothed her hair and prepared to follow the Principal to the office with the posture of a victor.

But Shi Youxuan got out of the car and refused to go to the office.

She smiled slightly: "Let's talk right here, everyone can be a witness, and we can clear up right from wrong to see whose fault it really is."

"Shi Ran's mother, this isn't good, is it? School is about to let out, it will affect the students leaving, and besides, this isn't a place to talk." The vice principal now had a massive headache.

Don't look at how Shi Ran's mother hadn't gotten out of the car just now, nor had she expressed her stance; such people are even harder to talk to.

"Then let's wait a bit longer; it's the same to talk after the children have left school."

After she finished speaking, she sat back inside the car.

Shi Youxuan could understand that the Vice Principal had his difficulties, but one cannot just try to smooth things over by blaming both sides equally without distinguishing right from wrong.

Or letting whoever acts the most shamelessly gain the advantage—that is absolutely unacceptable.

That woman was a bit dumbfounded; she had not expected that even though she had agreed to "make a concession," Shi Youxuan would be "so ungrateful."

She decided on the spot to show her some more trouble.

So, she plopped herself back down in front of the car, slapped her thighs, and wailed: "There's no way to live! I've been wronged! My child got into the Rocket Class but was squeezed out by Shi Ran, who stole their spot! They're bullying us poor common folk just because they have money and power..."

This was too much; it was clearly nonsense.

Yet, there were actually people who believed it, and quite a few of them at that.

The Vice Principal could not explain it to everyone one by one, so he could only discuss it with Shi Youxuan again, asking her not to provoke that woman and to take a step back first.

Let's go to the office and discuss it properly.

Shi Youxuan gave him a cold look: "Is this your way of handling problems? Stay out of it and go sit in your office. I have nothing to discuss with her, and I have already called the police; they will be here in a moment."

"I also called the Education Bureau; let's all just wait here."
