Reborn As Super Heiress

The man saw the situation, a glimmer flashed in his eyes, and he nodded slightly, inconspicuously signaling to the woman.

At this moment, the surrounding onlookers, seeing the beautiful woman still considering the pickpocket, couldn’t help but feel indignant and began to denounce Su Anning.

"I say, young girl, you are truly shameless; it’s come to this point, and you still won’t hand over the money. If you force the police to get involved and this gets to your school, they might expel you directly!"

"With such low morals, what kind of school did you come from? Surely not a prestigious university; probably a low-tier vocational college, right?"

"Caught with stolen goods and still refusing to admit it, and not returning the money. With this quality, claiming to be a university student, I really don’t know where you studied!"

"People like this should be thrown in jail for a while to teach them a lesson. Such students just disgrace all university students, it’s shameful!"

There were indignant voices all around, and some even started cursing, speaking quite harshly. Su Anning had never heard such harsh words before and immediately began to cry out of grievance.

It’s not that she cared about the 3,500 yuan. To her, this little money wasn’t even enough for a week’s pocket money, and she really didn’t take it seriously.

However, this wasn’t about money; it was about dignity. She hadn’t stolen anyone’s wallet, so why were they pinning this on her?!

Su Anning was very angry, unable to help but shout at the people around her:

"All of you are really meddlesome. Did you see me steal her wallet with your own eyes? I didn’t steal the wallet, nor did I take her money. Why don’t you believe me?"

The crowd around her fell silent.

They indeed hadn’t seen it, but that man said the wallet was found in that girl’s pocket. This couldn’t be fake; it must be this young girl who stole it!

Seeing Su Anning still crying and defending herself, the beautiful woman became somewhat impatient, frowning tightly at Su Anning and saying:

"Little sister, crying won’t solve the problem. This matter won’t just end because you shed a few tears."

"Now you have two choices: either you return the money to me, as you’re not that old, I can give you a chance and let it go. I won’t pursue this matter further."

"Or, you can not return the money, and then I’ll have to call the police. When this escalates, both your family and school will surely find out. Whether you’ll be expelled, making you unable to continue your studies, then that’s not my concern. It’s your own fault."

"Just these two options, make your choice!"

The crowd of onlookers kept growing, and some even took out their phones, seemingly ready to record a video. Seeing this, Su Anning’s face immediately changed drastically.

Nowadays, many people like to casually record videos and upload them online. Su Anning hadn’t initially considered this, but now seeing those people holding up their phones, she became anxious. If this really spread online and she was recognized, it would be equally embarrassing for her and her grandfather.

Thinking of this, Su Anning didn’t want to linger here any longer. After all, it was just over 3,000 yuan, so be it. She just wanted to resolve this matter quickly; she didn’t want to become a spectacle online, as that would be utterly disgraceful!

Su Anning thought of keeping things peaceful, so she just said directly:

"I really didn’t take your money or steal your wallet. But I don’t want to argue with you anymore about this. I only have a little over a thousand yuan on me now. Here, I’ll give all this money to you, is that okay?"

As she spoke, Su Anning pulled out a wallet from her backpack and took out all the money inside, making a gesture to hand it to the beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman, seeing this, was amused with anger.

The man beside her couldn’t help but mock:

"There really are people in this world who are shameless, reaching this point and still trying to argue and exonerate themselves. Truly, shamelessness knows no bounds!"

He then looked at the young woman and said, "Beauty, I suggest you call the police. This thief, it seems, won’t admit until faced with undeniable truths. Dragging on like this won’t solve the problem. Take this money first, and once the police arrive, she’ll surely cough up the remaining two thousand plus!"

With that, the man snatched the thousand-plus yuan from Su Anning’s hand and stuffed it into the palm of the beautiful woman.

The young woman hesitated for a moment, but still accepted the money. After counting through the stack, she said to Su Anning:

"This is 1,240 plus yuan. You’re still short over 2,200. I won’t insist on every penny; just give me the remaining 2,200, how about that?"

"Otherwise, I’ll really have no choice but to call the police, but with the police involved, the situation will change, think about it carefully, if you want to go that route!"

Of course, Su Anning didn’t want to end up at the police station, that would be too embarrassing. But right now, she had no better option, since she only had this little cash on her. But she was absolutely unwilling to go to the bank to withdraw over two thousand yuan for this woman.

Seeing Su Anning still putting up a brave front, the man couldn’t help but angrily say:

"The beauty is being so magnanimous, thinking only of what’s best for you, yet you only pretend to be pitiful. Even as a bystander, I can’t stand it! If you don’t return the money to this beautiful lady today, don’t even think about leaving! I’ll make sure to escort you to the police station and have you detained!"

"By then, escalating the matter, I want to see if you can still continue your studies in the university. Even if the school doesn’t expel you, by then everyone in the school will know you’re a thief, I’d like to see how you deal with their glances and accusations, how you’ll interact with them!"

As he spoke, the man, seemingly still unsatisfied with his indignation, spat at Su Anning’s feet, looking very angry.

Su Anning wasn’t worried about this reaching her school. As long as the Su Family intervened, it would certainly be resolved, but what she cared more about was her face.

The young girl, being young and sensitive about face, was afraid of being laughed at, so she was somewhat frightened and couldn’t help but tremble and say:

"But, but I really don’t have any money on me right now!"

The man, seeing this, was immediately pissed:

"Still pretending! Do you think pretending to be pitiful will let you get away with it? Wherever you hid the money, or whichever accomplice you transferred it to, that’s your problem! Even if you don’t have money on you now, you can go to the bank to withdraw it. You must return the money today, and as for how you’ll reclaim it from your accomplice later, that’s none of this beautiful lady’s concern, find a way yourself!"
