Chapter 199: Taking Something Without the Intent To Return it
Her makeup was neat and she wore a simple black dress made from a high-quality textile. Her silk shawl composed her entire look together as she looked around the manor, saying in a very arrogant manner, “You’re filming a TV show? I’m ordering you now, you cannot air any shots of me, or accept the consequences at your own risk!”
When she arrived, she only knew her son was at Little Rabbit Farm; she had no idea there was a stream occurring.
The crew: ???
Ma’am, who are you?
The viewers in the stream were much more direct.
——[Blehh, so cocky]
——[Does she not know this is a live stream?]
——[Wow, the entitlement. She probably does this a lot normally]
Xiang Yi stood up. “Ma’am, what is it you need? This is my home; it is quite inappropriate of you to burst in without giving notice, isn’t it?”
“Sorry, please find someone who is actually qualified then come talk to me.” The rich lady interrupted her unceremoniously.
Xiang Yi raised her brow and crossed her arms, debating if she should call the security guards to toss these people out.
Li Jianyu gestured at the cameraman to shift the camera away and politely said, “Ma’am, this is a str...”
“You’re the director? Then you must have the most authority here. Perfect, I don’t like dealing with those petty actors anyways.”
The atmosphere on set suddenly became tense.
Li Jianyu raised a brow. “Ma’am, please watch your words. Performers are professionals too! Everyone is created equal.”
The rich lady rolled her eyes in disdain, as if she was already over this topic. She got to the point. “Where’s my son? I need to see him!”
At this time, the rowdy boys had finished cleaning up the chicken coop and were being dragged out by Lao Wang from the planning department.
He had just gotten through to them it seems, but things were much more serious than he’d thought. This wasn’t going to be an easy problem to solve.
The rich lady saw her son immediately and exclaimed, “Rong Rong, how did you get that cut on your face?!”
Seeing her, the rebellious teen suddenly changed his expression. He turned his head to leave but heard his mother screaming behind him, “He only took a few of your eggs, do you know who my husband is? You even dare hit my son!”
Xiang Yi responded quietly. “Let me correct you. First, we didn’t cause his injury; two, I don’t care at all who your husband is. Third, taking someone else’s property without intending to return it is not called taking, it’s called stealing.”
The girl’s logic was clearly well founded and very convincing.
On the other end, the rich lady spoke like a shrewd. “Stealing and not stealing, it’s all the same. They’re just kids, under too much pressure from school! How about this, I’ll give you money to allow them to come here and relieve their stress regularly. Give me a price!”
She had heard this trick from her circle of rich ladies. If their kids were under too much pressure from school and wanted to steal something, all they had to do was pay the stationary store or convenience store some money and everything would be resolved.
The owners even welcomed these children to come.
Xiang Yi’s ethics felt heavily violated though. She retorted, “Ma’am, are you saying you are going to pay for these kids to come steal things?”
“I already told you it’s de-stressing! Do you not speak human words? Steal, steal, steal is all you say; why are you so vile!”
The boy looked at his mother coldly.
The other boys were expressionless, as if they were long used to this.
Their family had used this method as well to resolve issues.
Unable to endure it, Yin Jiangxue opened her mouth and spoke angrily, “As a mother, why don’t you think about educating your children properly instead of using this kind of petty method to resolve problems?”
The rich lady glanced over. She’d seen her films and recognized Yin Jiangxue. She sneered. “Ah, who else could it be but a hen that can’t lay eggs. What right do you have to be lecturing others?”
