"Auntie, it's obvious you don't often visit luxury stores. This is a genuine item. If you don't believe me, take a look," Shen Nanyi said, dangling her schoolbag. There was a hint of mockery in her tone, making it impossible for those around to ignore.
Not only was her tone sarcastic, but she also kept dangling the bag, clearly trying to rile up Mrs. Wang.
"Auntie, you can look, but don't touch. Otherwise, your salary won't be enough to compensate for it," Shen Nanyi said. She had heard every word Mrs. Wang said at the door and now threw it back at her.
"Shut up! You're such a bad influence at such a young age. I'll show you whether my salary can cover it or not!"
For some reason, Shen Nanyi's words seemed to hit a nerve with Mrs. Wang. She snatched the schoolbag from Shen Nanyi's hands and threw it on the ground forcefully. Not satisfied with that, she even stepped on it twice.
"Wow!"
Shen Nanyi burst into tears immediately. Her cries were so loud that no one could ignore them. But no one noticed the sly look that flashed in Shen Nanyi's eyes as she lowered her head.
"Mrs. Wang, isn't it a bit beneath your dignity to get angry with a child?"
The principal couldn't bear it any longer. He stepped in front of Shen Nanyi and looked at Mrs. Wang with an unfriendly expression.
Although Yang Ruifeng didn't say a word, he also stood in front of Shen Nanyi, showing a strong sense of protectiveness. There was a fire in his eyes.
"It's just a fake bag. I'll compensate for it," Mrs. Wang said. By now, she didn't think she had done anything wrong. She took out the bank card from her bag, looking extremely wealthy.
"Auntie, are you going to compensate? I have the invoice here," Shen Nanyi said, looking up at Mrs. Wang with teary eyes while pretending to be sad.
"Swipe the card. Our family is not short of money!"
It was indeed quite expensive, over 20,000 yuan. But Mrs. Wang could afford it if she gritted her teeth. Now, it wasn't just about the money; it was about her pride.
She absolutely couldn't lose face, especially in front of a child.
"Uncle Principal, there are other things in my bag," Shen Nanyi said, winking at the principal to indicate that the real show was yet to come. A mere bag was not enough.
"What valuable things can a little kid have in her bag? The money in this card is more than enough," Mrs. Wang said, standing there arrogantly as if to say, "I'm rich. What can you do about it?"
Although Shen Nanyi was only five or six years old, for some reason, the principal felt like he was communicating with an adult.
Almost as if by magic, he followed Shen Nanyi's advice, picked up the backpack on the ground, and took out all the things inside.
Apart from some textbooks and toys, there was also a small watch. There was nothing else.
"This..."
As someone who often interacted with the upper - class society, the principal knew more about luxury goods than ordinary people. Holding the watch, he was at a loss for words for a moment.
"Hurry up and calculate how much it is. Swipe the card. I have an important party later," Mrs. Wang said, looking at the time on her watch. She didn't want to waste any more time here.
She had already vented her anger. She couldn't really make the kindergarten teacher pay for it. After all, she had spent a lot of effort to get her child into this school.
"Is the money in your card really enough? This watch is worth over a million yuan," the principal said, looking at the almost - destroyed watch in his hand. He felt his heart aching. He turned to look at Shen Nanyi, always feeling that something was off about this whole thing.
But when he met Shen Nanyi's innocent eyes, he thought he might be overthinking.
"What? Are you all trying to deceive me?!"
Mrs. Wang jumped up in anger. She couldn't believe that a child could have something so valuable.
"This watch is a custom - made version of Patek Philippe, fully diamond - studded. If you don't believe me, you can check on the official website," the principal said firmly. He had long been annoyed with this woman. Now that he finally had a legitimate excuse, he wasn't going to let her off easily.
"Teacher Yang, let's go to class," Shen Nanyi said. She believed the principal could handle the rest of the matter. There was no need for her to stay here any longer. She was more interested in seeing the little kids in the classroom.
Being led by Shen Nanyi, Yang Ruifeng felt a bit surreal. He subconsciously kept a little distance from Shen Nanyi. Who knew if the clothes this little girl was wearing were also very expensive.
So stimulated, Yang Ruifeng even forgot that Shen Nanyi was wearing a school uniform.
"Auntie is so rich. She won't care about this little bit of money," Shen Nanyi said before she was about to walk out of the office. She was very protective of her own.
Shen Nanyi didn't know what happened in the office later. She only knew that Mrs. Wang was waiting at the classroom door after class, looking very conflicted when she saw Shen Nanyi.
Seeing Mrs. Wang at the door, Shen Nanyi walked out with a smile, as if she didn't see her.
"Wait a minute!"
Gritting her teeth, between pride and money, Mrs. Wang finally chose money.
When Mrs. Wang called out, Shen Nanyi stopped in her tracks. She turned around and looked at Mrs. Wang with an innocent face.
When it came to feigning weakness to take advantage, Shen Nanyi thought she had no match.
