When she heard Xu Anranâs answer, Old Madam Yin sneered. âEldest Miss Xu? Donât spout nonsense. Iâm not your grandmother. Xi Xi, since the Xu family canât tolerate you, come back to the Yin family with me. Letâs see who still dares to bully you!â
Qiao Xi smiled and nodded.
âWhatâs going on?â.
The few of them looked at each other and asked in confusion, âThe Yin family is actually so good to Qiao Xi, the adopted daughter. Earlier, Xu Anran even said that if Qiao Xi wanted to meet Old Madam Yin, she had to introduce Qiao Xi first. Clearly, what she meant to say is that Qiao Xi doesnât have the qualifications to see Old Madam Yin herself!â
Old Madam Yin looked at Xu Anran sharply.
Xu Anranâs body trembled as she explained while trembling, âGrandma, I⦠I didnât say that. Itâs⦠Everyone misunderstood.â
Wen Xi could not stand Qiao Xiâs arrogant appearance. Since she was an adopted daughter, she should behave herself. How could she surpass the Xu familyâs biological daughter?
She said unhappily, âOld Madam Yin, you canât blame Cousin. Sheâs just a little angry. You just came and donât know whatâs going on. Qiao Xi stole Anranâs ring just now.
âItâs because of this that Cousin Anran said some angry words. She didnât deliberately target Qiao Xi, nor did she look down on her identity. Instead, she regarded Qiao Xi as her younger sister and tried to protect her! On the other hand, Qiao Xi stole something but refused to admit her mistake. Is such a person worthy of being the Xu familyâs daughter?â
The crowd could hear a pin drop. Everyone hurriedly reacted. The matter of Qiao Xi stealing something hadnât been resolved yet!
Even if Old Madam Yin admitted that Qiao Xi was the daughter of the Xu family, it was a fact that she stole Xu Anranâs ring. Even if Xu Anran said something overboard, she couldnât be blamed. Moreover, she did not blame Qiao Xi at all.
Wen Xi pointed at Qiao Xi and roared angrily, âShe stole the emerald ring you gave Anran! Even after she was caught red-handed, she didnât show the slightest regret! Now you know Qiao Xiâs true colors, right?! She even dares to steal the birthday gift you gave Anran! Sheâs really too much!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
After a few seconds of silence, Old Madam Yin suddenly smiled.
âI gave her an emerald ring?â
Wen Xi was suddenly slightly perturbed when she saw this. âYes. Itâs a set of jade jewelry, and an extremely good emerald ring is part of the set. Itâs very expensive. Qiao Xi probably knows that the ring is expensive, so she stole
it.â
Old Madam Yinâs gaze gradually turned cold.
The two young masters behind her also frowned. One of them looked at Xu Anran angrily.
Everyone looked confused. Xu Anranâs body trembled as she lowered her head guiltily.
She hurriedly explained, âGrandma, I didnât make things difficult for Xi Xi, nor did I blame her for stealing. Besides, Iâm afraid that if news of this gets out, it wonât be good for Xi Xi. Iâve already told everyone not to tell anyone. If you donât believe me, ask them.
âXi Xi bumped into me and the ring disappeared. I found the ring in her bag. I didnât malign her. I just told her not to do such things in the futureââ
âIf you think Xi Xi did it, then call the police.â Gu Zheng glanced at her coldly, then looked at Old Madam Yin. âWhat do you think?â
Old Madam Yin instantly understood. If she proved that this ring was for Xi Xi, then Xu Anranâ¦
Before she came, she already knew that Xi Xi was married to Gu Zheng. This man was in charge of the entire Gu family despite his young age. His influence was growing, and his businesses were spread throughout the world. Now, it was obvious that he doted on Xi Xi very much.
Old Madam Yin looked at the young man in front of her and nodded in satisfaction.
Now that the matter had already blown up, if news of it were to spread, it would ruin Xi Xiâs reputation. Since it was already like this, why not make the mess bigger so that Xi Xi would not suffer?
âAlright, call the police,â said Old Madam Yin.
Xu Anran turned pale with fright as her body trembled violently.
No! She could not call the police!
She pretended to be calm and said, âLetâs forget it. If we call the police, how will Xi Xi keep her reputation? Grandma, I wonât pursue the matter anymore, so donât-â.
Before she could finish speaking, Old Madam Yin waved her hand impatiently. Her subordinates immediately called the police.
When the other party heard that it was a matter between Miss Xu and Mrs. Gu and that it involved an emerald ring worth more than ten million yuan, they did not dare to delay and arrived at Jade Pavilion in just a short while.
