Chapter 128: No Matter How Calculated, There Was Still a Flaw
Facing Yuan Bolin's questioning, Meng Zhiyi looked at his two brothers with an intriguing expression.
[It has begun. It would be wonderful if we could provoke a dog-eat-dog fight between the Yuan and Meng families. ]
[Quickly blame me! Say that I am ignorant and cause trouble everywhere. ]
[Force me to kneel down and apologize to them, and give me a chance to perform. ]
Her joyful voice left Meng Zhizhou and Meng Tinglan speechless.
But Meng Zhiyi had no idea that all her calculations were flawed.
But the two brothers also asked themselves, if it were in the past, they would have never listened to their little sister's explanation.
So much so that everything became her fault.
Meng Zhizhou pursed his lips and walked up to Meng Zhiyi.
Meng Zhiyi: [What? Are you planning to hit me?]
Meng Zhizhou: “…” Does he look like the kind of person who would beat his sister?
[Should I fight back? If I fight back, my anger level will probably be higher, right?]
[I should be able to beat him...]
Meng Zhizhou's footsteps also stopped when her voice fell.
He turned and stood aside.
Then, he looked at Yuan Bolin and said, "Uncle, you are interrogating a criminal as soon as you get here. Are you so sure that what happened today was my little sister's fault?"
Yuan Bolin looked unhappy, and looked at Meng Zhiyi behind him with disdain, and said in an even more extreme tone: "She? Everyone knows that the daughter you found has never been a good person."
"Hasn't it been enough to embarrass the Meng and Shen families before? Now, you want to do it again?"
Meng Zhizhou's brows wrinkled and his expression became a little ugly.
Meng Tinglan, who was standing by, had no intention of intervening, but when he heard Yuan Bolin's harsh words, he immediately became unhappy.
He stepped forward and started cursing.
"This is what a teacher would say. When my uncle was in school, did he often treat students like this?"
"Hasn't your uncle learned the meaning of fairness and justice? You just listened to your immoral wife's words and didn't even care about your brain?"
"Teacher? I'm worried about those students. What can they learn from a teacher like you who is blind and heartless?"
Meng Tinglan has always had a vicious tongue. Before, he cursed Meng Zhiyi, but now he changed his tone and cursed Yuan Bolin.
As an elder, as the elder of the Yuan family, Yuan Bolin has always been arrogant.
In front of all the younger generations, he always does his own thing and puts himself at the center.
Even though their family had no contact with the Meng family, Yuan Bolin never forgot that he was the elder in front of the younger generation like Meng Tinglan.
According to the Yuan family's rules, if a younger person speaks to an elder in this way, he or she will be punished.
His face suddenly turned dark, and anger flashed in his eyes, tearing off the layer of elegant appearance on the surface.
"Okay, okay, is this what your mother taught you? You are disrespecting your elders!"
Meng Zhizhou pulled Meng Tinglan back, then looked at Yuan Bolin expressionlessly: "Uncle, let me make one thing clear. We are here to solve the compensation problem, not to listen to your lecture."
"As for the charges of disrespecting elders and disrespecting them, my brothers and sisters and I don't deserve it. We are law-abiding people and are not easy to bully."
As he spoke, he looked at Li Ping and Yuan Xiaoxiao sternly.
Having been in the business world for so long, Meng Zhizhou also has the majesty of a person in a high position.
The mother and daughter swallowed and shrank back unconsciously.
Seeing this, Meng Zhizhou sneered with satisfaction and continued: "Are they looking for trouble or is my sister hitting someone on purpose? We can investigate this matter slowly."
"It doesn't matter. I have plenty of time to wait, and I also have the ability to retrieve all the surveillance footage from that mall and check it one by one."
"Don't worry, cousin. If it's my sister's fault, the Meng family will never shirk responsibility. We will do what we have to do."
"But if it is someone who is looking for trouble, then you should apologize one by one for slandering my sister just now."
"My cousin is a teacher. He should understand that it is the best thing to correct one's mistakes, right?"
Meng Zhizhou's words were sharp and he made it very clear that he wanted them to apologize to Meng Zhiyi.
After spending these days together, Meng Zhizhou got to know his sister a little bit.
She seemed ridiculous, and she was obsessed with the 30 billion mission and kept acting in front of them.
But there was one thing he was sure of.
Meng Zhiyi is not the kind of person who would take the initiative to stir up trouble.
Even if there was, it was the other party who offended her first.
Li Ping and her daughter had never had any interaction with the Meng family. Not to mention Meng Zhiyi, even if he met them on the street, he might not be able to recognize them at the first sight.
Therefore, even if Meng Zhiyi has some responsibility for what happened today, it is definitely not the main responsibility.
After he finished speaking, the entire mediation room fell silent.
Meng Zhiyi's expression was complicated, and if you looked closely, you could see a hint of hopelessness in it.
[So sad…]
【This is not the result I want.】
【Why? 】
Yuan Bolin was rendered speechless by the three siblings today, his face as pale as an overturned palette.
The hands hanging at his sides were clenched continuously, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, which showed how angry he was at the moment.
Meng Zhizhou stopped talking to him and walked towards the police officer who had been silent and watched the surveillance video from him.
"That's funny. You guys went up to cause trouble for my sister first, so how come it's her fault?"
"Why, you want her to endure your bullying and swallow her anger, right?"
"It's quite double standard."
Meng Tinglan went back unceremoniously.
Li Ping's face flushed and she wanted to curse back, but she was afraid of Yuan Bolin who was beside her.
The police officer who had been silent stood up and said, "The mall just gave us another surveillance video. You can take a look at it."
After he finished speaking, he handed the phone over.
Yuan Bolin frowned, and after watching the video, his expression became even uglier.
The video happened to record the scene where Li Ping and Yuan Xiaoxiao took the initiative to cause trouble, as well as Yuan Xiaoxiao rushing up to tear Meng Zhiyi apart, and then being pushed away by her.
After the two fell, they did not touch the clothes hanger. Instead, when Li Ping was wailing on the ground, she grabbed the clothes with her claws and pulled them down.
From the police's perspective, both parties were at fault in the entire incident.
But this was like a slap in Yuan Bolin's face, making him feel extremely humiliated.
He turned around and looked at Li Ping with cold eyes.
The mother and daughter were frightened by his look and turned pale, and unconsciously leaned closer.
"So, is your uncle going to apologize now, or continue with the legal process to see who should bear the compensation?" Meng Zhizhou asked.
Yuan Bolin had a gloomy face and stared silently at Meng Zhiyi who was smiling the whole time.
For some reason, he saw a sense of happiness in the girl's eyes.
"What are you looking at me for? Are you trying to use your status as an elder to put pressure on me and make me take the blame?" Meng Zhiyi tilted her head and looked directly into Yuan Bolin's eyes.
"How much loss?" Yuan Bolin asked, gritting his teeth.
The job assignment is imminent, and if he gets involved in this matter at this time, it will only do him harm and no good.
So, he could only accept it.
"The store's answer was that the loss was NT$300,000. Two of the dresses were custom-made for customers, but they were damaged and needed to be repaired. The store had to bear the customer's losses and time costs."
"What?! Three hundred thousand? Why don't you just go and rob it!" Li Ping screamed.
The Yuan family has now fallen on hard times, relying only on some resources left by their ancestors to maintain their current status quo. Although they are not stretched to the limit, they do not have much savings either.
Not to mention, Yuan Bolin is just a college teacher.
Three hundred thousand is equivalent to his annual income even if he does not eat or drink.
"Husband, they are ganging up to blackmail us, sue them! We must sue them!" Li Ping loves money like her life, she grabbed Yuan Bolin and shouted.
Yuan Bolin pushed her away and said, "If you don't shut up, you'll have to pay for this yourself!"
Li Ping was so frightened that she dared not say a word.
Yuan Bolin gritted his teeth and said, "We will pay for this loss."
I thought that this matter was over.
Meng Zhiyi followed Meng Zhizhou and the others back home with a somewhat melancholy look on her face.
As a result, as soon as I entered the house, I heard an old man's strong voice coming from the speaker of Meng Mu's mobile phone.
"Bring your rebellious daughter back tomorrow!"
