Everyone including Muqing was so furious about what happened that they began to protest.
The situation was starting to turn awry as Ms. Luo looked pretty helpless to keep things under control…
However, Fengguang scoffed and replied in a smug tone, "I want all of you to understand one thing. This isn't about money. In fact, this is about how Ms. Luo educated our children, how our staff sacrificed time to make sure everyone is safe."
He slapped Ms. Luo's wrecked car and continued, "Just look at this car. It's completely wrecked. Everything is destroyed except for this muffled horn. Our amazing staff has driven this car everyday to work during peak traffic hours, just to educate our children… They should really be applauded for their priceless contributions!" Fengguang exclaimed and added, "Such unconditional sacrifices made by Ms. Luo. Oh my fellow parents, how could you bear to leave Ms. Luo homeless and make her risk her life just to educate our children in her destroyed car? No one should ever go through that, right? Do you think that twenty-thousand Yuan contribution is more important than your children's education and Ms. Luo's life?"
Fengguang continued with a serious tone, "My friends, please understand that money can't be spent in death and it isn't as important as you think. A person's life is priceless!"
As Fengguang tried to explain his moral points to everyone, he seemed like a complete saint.
However, Muqing and the other parents were seething with rage and were just disgusted by his shameless act.
Ms. Luo, on the other hand, felt that Fengguang had a point in everything he said. So, she calmed down and felt entitled to the parents' money, since she had taken such a huge risk to educate those children for them. It seemed that she was used to receiving gifts in the past few years, so it was only natural for her to feel entitled to the parents' 'gift'.
However, Yang Gang scoffed and said, "You sure have quite the silver tongue there, Fengguang. Money isn't as important as we think, and a person's life is priceless? Wow, very well said indeed. Since this was the case, you should be the one to buy Ms. Luo her car. Why should we chip in just for you?"
"Yang Gang!" Fengguang's expression dimmed and yelled at him, "I've had enough with you! Anyone but you can say that. Don't you forget about your crippled son. If it wasn't for Ms. Luo and our staff, do you really think that your son will even be allowed to go to school like any normal children? No school would even accept your son!"
Yang Gang's expression grew bitter as he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
Ms.Luo had indeed played a huge part in getting Doudou to him. He could not rebuke that fact as Meixin grabbed him, telling him to not do anything brash.
"All right now, who else still has anything to say?" Fengguang scanned the parents and continued, "If you think that Ms. Luo has not done much for your child, then you are very much allowed to not chip in. Well, of course this means that we aren't sure if your child would even be bullied in school or not. Hehe, we can't guarantee anything…"
Every parent was furious at the threat, but could not say anything about it. They were questioning as to why they should accept Fengguang's entitlement. The only reason why they even spent so much money for gifts every year was to hope that their children would not be shunned or bullied in school.
Although they were very upset about being scammed, Fengguang still had leverage over them, so they had no choice but to accept this for now.
Fengguang was very pleased with how things progressed, so he said, "Well then, let's try to pay everything by next week. That way, Ms. Luo could get a new car by next week."
In all honesty, he had direct ties to the distributor for the bi-annual gift contribution by the parents. How could he not be happy when he would be getting a hundred-thousand Yuan just by the car alone.
Ms. Luo was also very pleased as she was starting to wonder just what color she wanted her new BMW to be.
"I won't be paying even a single penny."
