Chapter 386

"Am I right, Yun Yan's Mom?" Zhi Xia said coldly.

Yun Yan's Mom had always known that Zhi Xia's family was not an ordinary family. Having lived here for half a year, she had heard some things about the An Family and Pei Family. But she still did not expect that even after moving to a different city, someone could still dig up the details of her past.

Zhi Xia spoke quickly and clearly. After she finished, facing the pointing and murmuring of the crowd, Yun Yan's Mom was stunned.

Yun Yan reacted quickly, also kneeling next to her mother, sobbing, "I didn't, Auntie, don't wrongly accuse me. It's just that others feel Wanqing is too arrogant, and she always has to stand out, so they don't want to play with her. I just saw she was too lonely so I wanted to mediate, I didn't expect you to misunderstand me like this..."

She didn't mention anything from the past, but shifted the blame onto Wanqing.

She was trying to use the same methods she had used against others on Wanqing. And since Wanqing's family was wealthy, she believed that even if adults found out, they wouldn't make a big deal.

What she didn't expect was that Wanqing simply didn't fall for her tricks. The more Yun Yan talked, the more annoyed Wanqing became.

The two had clashed many times, always with Yun Yan trying to coax Wanqing, while Wanqing ignored her, making Yun Yan even angrier.

Yun Yan clearly had so many nicer things, visibly better clothing, food, and belongings than others. They were good friends, and good friends should share, right? Why couldn't she share some with her?

"Since you say that, then call the police. It's useless to reason with people like you, so let the police take care of it and see whether you really did those things in the past or not," Zhi Xia said. "Or I can reimburse travel fees and have the parents of the girl you used to bully come and tell everyone how you manipulated her step-by-step into giving you her things and doing what you said. What do you think?" "Wanqing's Mom, you're going too far. I know our family is no match for yours, but cornered prey will bite back. You have to leave us a way out," otherwise if they were truly desperate, those with nothing to lose would dare anything.

Otherwise, why did that other wealthy family let them off last time?

Even if it escalated to the police station, it would only be a conflict between children. That other girl willingly gave her things to her daughter, not like her daughter forced them from her.

And when they left, those things and money weren't returned either, because children don't understand the value of money and things. The items were either lost or broken, and the money was spent together, so who knew how much was spent or remained!

There are no clear laws about this kind of thing yet, so guilt depends on who can argue more persuasively.

Some people simply can't be reasoned with, because no matter what you say, they twist the conversation to benefit themselves. Bystanders just watch the show, and whoever wins the shouting match seems right, regardless of what's true.

Zhi Xia directly turned her head and called, "Sister Zhang, call the police. Since you think you've done no wrong, let's go to the station and settle right and wrong there. And I want to make it clear, you two didn't lose your jobs because of me. The textile factory is a state-owned enterprise, I, Zhi Xia, don't have the power to make the country do my bidding."

Although she could easily accomplish it if she wanted, Chenye's family had already acted before she did anything, so she wasn't lying.

They weren't stupid enough to outright fire people either, but went through proper procedures and pretenses, so Zhi Xia wasn't afraid of exposing herself.

When Yun Yan's Mom heard they wanted to call the police, she knew they couldn't hide their past incident at the station, since that case also went to the police. Truth and lies could be settled in a phone call.

Afraid, she pulled Yun Yan and ran.

Zhi Xia had lived here for more than just a day or two. Old Master was a locally prominent figure, so of course neighbors would side with her over newcomers.

It was obvious now that as soon as Yun Yan and her mother left, the neighbors all came up to ask questions.

Zhi Xia didn't hide anything, directly letting everyone know the truth about Yun Yan and her mother's despicable character.

The elderly couple next door happened to be out today, but when they returned and heard about the incident, they also came to ask Zhi Xia what happened.

This was the last time Zhi Xia saw Yun Yan's family, because after this, Pei Jing and the An Family acted together to drive them out of Jincheng completely. That's right, their family didn't allow abusing power to bully others, but that didn't mean they would let others insult them freely.

If Yun Yan's family had any sense, they wouldn't have tried to smash an egg against a rock.

Yun Yan's mother was quite crafty, contacting a news reporter beforehand to secretly photograph the scene, which was why she immediately knelt without a word when she saw Zhi Xia, trying to establish herself as the victim.

Her mistake was that after the reporter snapped a few pictures, Yuan Bao charged over with Da Huang to knock the camera from his hands, smashing it. Then Da Huang grabbed the broken camera and ran off without a trace, costing the reporter his equipment and work.

"School's out...school's out..."

As soon as the triplets and Little Sixth came in, they shouted excitedly, going to find tape to stick their awards on the living room wall.

To encourage the children's motivation, Zhi Xia had cleared out the largest wall in the living room and divided sections for each child, specifically for displaying their awards.

With so many children in the family, all exceptional students at school, most of the wall was already covered in awards.

Although it clashed with the house's style and didn't look that nice, the children were happy, and it motivated them, which was the priority.

"Mom, when is Dad coming back? When do we leave?" Little Sixth asked eagerly, unable to wait.

Because Zhi Xia had mentioned their trip before, the kids were looking forward to it. Sure enough, they started asking as soon as school let out.

"Soon, he just set out. He should get home this afternoon. We'll leave tomorrow, so you guys start packing your things. Don't wait until we're leaving to say you forgot this or that," Zhi Xia said.

With the space as a backup, they didn't need to bring anything really, but Zhi Xia and Pei Jing preferred to nurture the children's self-reliance since they couldn't depend on the space forever and would eventually leave her side.

"Great, Mom I love you!"

Little Sixth happily hugged her, making Zhi Xia laugh. "Go on, stop dawdling and pack up."
