194. Chapter 194 How much is the heirloom bracelet worth?



Seeing that they told the class teacher the truth, Shen You suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

【Fortunately, these kids are very honest! 】

When she turned around, the two children and their parents were looking at her with completely opposite expressions.

Little Xie Junze didn't expect that this problem, which seemed so difficult to him, could be solved so easily by the beautiful sister who came with her brother. He was stunned for a moment, and then looked at her with admiring eyes.

Little Xie Junze's brother also looked at her without blinking. From this perspective, the two brothers did look somewhat similar, except that Xie Chenxiao's eyes were narrower and longer, while his younger brother's eyes probably hadn't fully grown yet, and looked round and childishly cute.

When the two of them stood together, Shen You had the illusion that he was looking at the young and adult versions of Xie Chenxiao.

On the other side, little boy Tang Shengbo was dumbfounded.

Amid his mother's silent curses, he belatedly realized that the pretty sister's compliments on his gaming skills and popularity among classmates were not genuine, but were meant to trick him into talking.

For a moment, his little head was unable to understand why the words that his beautiful sister had extracted from him could expose his secret, and why her face became even uglier than when she first found out that the bracelet was broken.

Little Tang Shengbo was afraid of the coming storm and was sad about the "deception" of his beautiful sister.

Seeing her smiling at Xie Junze and his brother, he lowered his head and clenched the game console in his hand, and suddenly felt that this game had no appeal anymore.

If the truth is that Xie Junze stole the heirloom bracelet that Tang Shengbo brought to school and broke it, then this matter involves two families. In the absence of surveillance, the matter will be more complicated to handle. But if it was Tang Shengbo who broke the bracelet himself, then things will become much simpler.

This is Tang Shengbo’s family affair.

The head teacher, the dean of studies and others looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Mother Tang Shengbo, since the statements of these female classmates are consistent, it seems that the bracelet was not stolen by Xie Junze, but Tang Shengbo broke it into four pieces and gave them to four female classmates respectively. Then, without Xie Junze's knowledge, the four female classmates put the bracelet fragments into Xie Junze's desk..."

Before the head teacher finished speaking, the woman interrupted her anxiously and pulled her son's sleeve, "Tang Shengbo, tell me! Tell me yourself, did you break the bracelet yourself?!"

Tang Shengbo was frightened by his mother's gnashing teeth. He made a bitter face and subconsciously wanted to follow the hint in her words and give an answer that would be beneficial to him.

Shen You frowned slightly, his eyes fell on the woman pulling his son's hand, and said disapprovingly: "You already have the answer in your heart, but you force your son to lie in order to avoid the consequences of the bracelet breaking? No matter how valuable the bracelet is, it is just a bracelet, not to mention that it has been broken. Even if you force your son to lie and say that he didn't break it, it can't change the facts."

Tears welled up in Tang Shengbo's eyes. He pursed his lips and looked at Shen You with grievance.

… She was clearly on Xie Junze's side, so why was she still speaking for him? But, but, what she said seemed to make sense.

Tang Shengbo's eyes fell on Shen You's hand hanging at his side, remembering the touch of that hand gently brushing his head, and also remembering that sentence -

Is it because he lied and the beautiful sister felt that he was not an honest and kind boy, so she stood on Xie Junze's side?

At this moment, Tang Shengbo made up his mind to be an honest and kind child.

So he sniffed and said truthfully: "I'm sorry, Mom, I broke the bracelet."

After all, he was afraid of being beaten, so he spoke in a small voice with a trembling tone and a crying tone, feeling both fearful and aggrieved.

Although she didn't want to admit it, Shen You's words did touch the woman's hidden heart at some point.

——That’s right, the reason why she kept yelling and questioning her son was that she didn’t want to admit that the fact was the worst situation for her.

Because it means that she, as a mother, will have to bear the consequences alone if the heirloom bracelet is stolen and broken by her son, and she is afraid that she cannot afford it.

She was a woman who had finally left her small village, was admitted to a big city, and by chance and a bit of luck, was able to marry into a wealthy family.

She didn't know the true face of other wealthy families, but the situation of the Tang family was more complicated than she had imagined. It seemed that everyone had eight hundred minds, waiting to find fault with her.

In fact, she had no idea how much the heirloom bracelet was worth, but her mother-in-law looked kind but was actually cruel. When she handed the heirloom bracelet to her, she gave her many instructions and warned her. She also emphasized the value of the bracelet from time to time to show her appreciation for her, which made the bracelet become heavier in her heart.

In fact, when it comes down to it, the bracelet was lost and broken, and it wasn't just Tang Shengbo who was terrified, but she was too.

“No matter how valuable a family heirloom is, can it be more precious than your child? Forgive others when you can. It may be more valuable to treat this lesson as a lesson for your child’s growth.”

Her heart was suddenly shaken by her son's tearful apology. Her eyes became wet uncontrollably and a line of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

Tang Shengbo didn't expect that his usually strong mother would suddenly burst into tears. He was stunned for a moment, then clumsily reached out his hand to wipe her tears, apologizing as he did so.

Seeing this, Shen You sighed inwardly, pointed at the four bracelet fragments on the table, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Madam, although I don't know who told you that this bracelet is worth nine figures, I can be sure that it... It is not as valuable as you think. If you don't believe me, you might as well take it to a professional organization for appraisal."

The woman was startled and looked at her with tears in her eyes.

[Her mother-in-law deliberately gave her a high-end imitation bracelet worth several hundred yuan, claiming it was a family heirloom. She looked down on her from the bottom of her heart. She used the name of the heirloom to pretend to be nice to others, but secretly put psychological pressure on her. In fact, except for her and her husband, everyone in their family knew that the real heirloom was in her mother-in-law's hands all along.]

[Alas, it is not easy for her to have such a complicated family and a useless husband. ]
