Chapter 166: Face Slapped! So She Was From The Gu Family In Capital City!

He wanted to step out and clarify things for her.
With the power and status of the Gu family, she could have anything she wanted. Why would she covet something from the Lu family?
But in the end, he held back.
He wanted to teach her a lesson so that she would never dare to leave the Gu family again.
Old Master Lu walked up to Jiang Yining and whispered, “Yining, Grandpa believes that these things are yours. We’re not afraid to check the surveillance cameras. If you continue to be so unclear, I’m afraid everyone will misunderstand you.”
“I’m not afraid that they will misunderstand me.”
Jiang Yining never cared about what others thought of her.
She walked upright and sat upright, not afraid of what others said.
Old Master Lu sighed silently in his heart. Why was this child so stubborn?
There was the sound of police sirens in the distance.
Tao Niannian said with a smile, “The police are here, Jiang Yining. You’re going to be arrested. I’ll visit you in prison when the time comes.”
Jiang Yining glanced at her indifferently and said, “If we go to the police station, who knows who will be visiting whom?”
She had already hacked into the Tao family’s company network and was collecting evidence of their tax evasion.
When the evidence was sufficient…
She would personally send the Tao family to prison!
“You’re still so stubborn when you’re about to get into trouble!”
Tao Niannian flew into a rage.
Jiang Yining pursed her lips and didn’t say anything.
Anyway, she was innocent, so it didn’t matter if she went to the police station.
However, Old Master Lu could not let the police take her away. Otherwise, Yining would not be able to explain herself in the future.
He gave the housekeeper a look, indicating for him to hold the police first.
Then, he pulled Jiang Yining and walked towards the backyard.
Tao Niannian was not willing to let go of the opportunity to take revenge on Jiang Yining. She rushed forward and blocked their way. She said, “Grandpa Lu, are you trying to protect Jiang Yining? She broke the law. You know about it, but you still choose to help her hide it. That makes you an accomplice. I advise you not to get yourself involved.”
“This is our Lu family. You can’t be impudent! Miss Tao, please mind your words and actions.”
Old Master Lu couldn’t take it anymore.
Of course, Tao Niannian knew that this was the Lu family’s house, but there was no way she would let Jiang Yining go!
She stubbornly blocked their way.
At this moment, the police rushed in.
“Who stole something from the Lu family? Please step forward.”
“It’s her!” Tao Niannian immediately pointed at Jiang Yining.
Old Master Lu wished he could kick this scourge out of the Lu family!
The police officer pushed the crowd aside and walked over. He looked at Jiang Yining and asked, “You stole something from the Lu family?”
“I didn’t.” Jiang Yining replied calmly.
“Officer, don’t be fooled by her! She stole the things she was carrying just now!” Tao Niannian said loudly, “The things inside are worth at least 80 to 90 million.”
The policeman took out his handcuffs with a serious expression and said, “Please come with us.”
“I didn’t steal it. You don’t have evidence. Why are you taking me away?” Jiang Yining asked coldly.
Old Master Lu also stepped forward and said, “Officer, there’s a misunderstanding here. She’s my granddaughter-in-law and a member of this family. Why would she steal? Don’t listen to that girl’s nonsense.”
“Who says she didn’t steal anything? If she really didn’t steal it, why doesn’t she dare to let us check the surveillance cameras? Grandpa Lu, you’re just trying to cover up for Jiang Yining.” Tao Niannian instigated the others and said, “These are all witnesses. They all saw Jiang Yining sneaking around and trying to escape with the stolen goods!”
Her friends nodded.
The people at the police station looked at each other. What was going on?
“Yining, quickly explain to the police officers.”
Old Master Lu looked anxious and concerned.
Jiang Yining exhaled slightly and said, “1’11 go with you.”
In the end, she was still unwilling to explain.
When the police heard this, they took out the handcuffs again.
Old Master Lu went forward to stop them, but at this moment, Gu Zhanqing finally could not hold it in anymore. He stood up and said in a gloomy voice, “You would rather be slandered than ask me for help?”
He was standing right in front of her. As long as he told them who she was, she would be able to get rid of the suspicion of theft.
However, she would rather be taken to the police station than admit defeat to him.
“I’ve already drawn a clear line with the Gu family.” Jiang Yining said clearly.
Old Master Lu asked curiously, “Zhanqing, do you know Yining?”
Gu Zhanqing stared at Jiang Yining and said firmly, “She’s my niece. She had a conflict with our family and ran away from home. After asking around, I found out that she came to the Lu family. Old sir, I’m here today to tell you about this.”
His words were like thunder, exploding in the living room!
Everyone was stunned!
Jiang Yining, who they had always thought was born into a poor family, was actually from a prestigious family in the capital city, the Gu family?!
How was this possible?
However, Gu Zhanqing had indeed said that Jiang Yining was his niece!
Old Master Lu had lived his entire life and experienced great storms. He was calmer than others.
“No wonder Yining doesn’t look like she’s from a small family. So it was the Gu family. Why didn’t Yining mention such a big thing to me?” Old Master Lu muttered and said, “The Gu family is a wealthy family in the capital city. They are extremely noble. Why would she steal?”
“Miss Tao, please don’t slander my granddaughter-in-law before you figure out the truth.”
“Impossible! How could she be from the Gu family?”
Tao Niannian refused to believe it!
Chen Kexin also didn’t want to believe that Jiang Yining, whom she looked down on, had a family background that was thousands of times better than hers!
“Grandpa, is this Mr. Gu an impersonator?” Perhaps Jiang Yining deliberately found someone to help her out?
Old Master Lu’s face darkened and he said heavily, “I’ve been friends with the Gu family for more than ten years. How could 1 not recognize Zhanqing?”
Chen Kexin was swept by his sharp gaze.
She immediately stopped talking and did not dare to say anything else.
Tao Niannian was already crazy.
She had targeted Jiang Yining time and time again, but she had never won!
This time, she would go all out and kick Jiang Yining into the mud!
“So what if you’re from the Gu family in the capital city? Can you prove that Jiang Yining is your niece? If you deliberately cooperate with her acting, how would we know if you’re telling the truth?”
She still didn’t give up even at this point.
Tao Niannian’s best friends were already scared out of their wits. They secretly tugged at her, wanting her to shut up.
However, Tao Niannian ignored them.
Old Master Lu opened his mouth and wanted the housekeeper to chase her out.
But before he could do so, Gu Zhanqing took a step forward and reached out to pull out a necklace from Jiang Yining’s neck.
“This is a necklace unique to our Gu family. The pendant on it has an exclusive mark. No one can imitate it. Now, do you have anything to say?”
Tao Niannian opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say.
While the living room was bustling, Shen Man rushed over when she heard the news. She found out from the maid that Jiang Yining had been misunderstood. Thus, she took the initiative to step forward and said, “Dad, 1 gave these things to Yining. She didn’t want to reveal it and didn’t want anyone to check the surveillance cameras because she was probably afraid of troubling me.”
The truth behind this situation was completely revealed!
Even if Tao Niannian had a hundred mouths, she could forget about slandering Jiang Yining!
Old Master Lu said sternly, “Men, get Ms.. Tao out of here! Our Lu family doesn’t welcome her!”
