Chapter 383 - 17 Truth
"You’re talking nonsense!" Han Xinyu heard that her mother and Little Aunt had arrived, and just when she finished class, she ran to the office and happened to hear Teacher Dai’s words, immediately retorted angrily, "I didn’t lie, you don’t know that I wore a golden pendant because I hid it inside my clothes. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Zhang Xiaomin, Huang Lijuan, and Lu Ying. They’ve seen the red string around my neck; I’ve taken my golden pendant out for them to see!"
"Zhang Xiaomin and the other two are your good friends; of course, they would take your side," the adults hadn’t reacted yet when another little girl ran over from behind and glared at Han Xinyu, "Han Xinyu, don’t think you can take my things just because you have good grades."
"Xu Yuejuan, don’t make slanderous accusations, Xiaomin and the others would never lie!" Han Xinyu’s face turned red with anger and retorted, "You say Xiaomin and the others are my friends and thus side with me, but isn’t Teacher Dai your mother? Doesn’t she take your side?"
Han Xinyu wasn’t like other children who always thought adults were right. Since she was young, she had been oppressed by Liu Yuzhi and Dong Fei and was not someone who would just take it lying down, so she developed a character that treated both adults and children alike without favor.
Lin Xiaoguai glanced at Teacher Dai with a mocking smile, "What I’m going to say may be a bit impolite, but my niece is absolutely right. When you accuse my niece of being greedy, please, first understand the economic status of my Uncle’s family."
She beckoned Han Xinyu over and rolled up the sleeve on her arm to point to the Jade Bracelet and said, "This is a birthday gift I gave the child on her tenth birthday. Don’t be fooled by the simple look of this bracelet, if you really want to buy it, it wouldn’t be yours without spending 5,000 yuan."
In her hometown, a child’s tenth birthday is very important, and the elders would always give significant gifts. That year, she made this melon and fruit Jade Bracelet for Nuonuo and a Buddha Jade Pendant for Ping’an.
"That golden pendant was also a gift from me. Due to the belief this year that boys should wear a golden lock to ward off disasters, I gave golden locks to boys from families I know, and not wanting to show partiality, I also gave this Dolphin Gold Pendant to my own daughter, goddaughter, niece, and grandniece."
"But, to be honest, even though the golden pendant is precious, it can’t compare to the Jade Bracelet Nuonuo is wearing. Would she be so petty as to lie for a golden pendant?"
