Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

Chapter 1183 - 1183 Taking Without Asking

1183 Taking Without Asking

Outside the Qiao family’s villa.

The villa was an asset left behind by Xia Yunqiu, so Qiao Xi had gotten someone to clean it. This place was still very clean, but there were no longer any traces left behind by the Qiao family.

The property that her mother had left for her was occupied by that group of people for 20 years. Now, it was finally back in her hands. She looked up at the plaque at the door and walked in.

When she left, she did not organize her personal belongings. The things that Xu Mei had detained should be in the storage room. After Qiao Xi entered, she went straight to the storage room.

Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks, and her gaze changed.

The butler she hired often stayed here to guard the villa, but now, the door of the main residence had been opened by someone. There were two pairs of women’s shoes at the door. Who had come to the residence?

Qiao Xi’s gaze turned cold as she quickly walked in. Gu Zheng followed closely behind and also noticed the two pairs of shoes on the ground. His expression suddenly turned cold. Someone actually dared to barge into a private house and provoke his cute Mrs. Gu.

The interior of the villa had not changed much. After Qiao Xi went upstairs, she walked to her room and looked through the gap. There was no one inside.

Clang!

The sound of something falling to the ground came from the storage room. Qiao Xi’s eyes turned cold as she walked toward the storage room. Before she arrived, she heard the voices of two women.

“This is so beautiful. Aunt, can you give me this?”

Immediately after, a voice very familiar to Qiao Xi sounded. Her tone was very loving. “Of course! Mengyan, everything here is mine. Take whatever you like. These earrings are good stuff! They’re imperial jade. They’re very valuable!”

Xia Mengyan’s excited voice sounded. “Thank you, Aunt. You’re too good to me!”

Qiao Xi frowned. Xia Yunlou and Xia Mengyan?

Recently, she had been busy dealing with the Lu family, so she had not dealt with these two people for too long. Was that why they were so arrogant now? How dare they come to the residence to steal things?

The things in the storage room were all valuable items that Xu Mei had plundered. Most of them were her mother’s and her things. Xia Mengyan expressed her interest in them, and Xia Yunlou immediately agreed to give her the imperial jade earrings.

What right did she have to give away her mother’s belongings? Who did she think she was?

Qiao Xi’s eyes darkened as she pushed open the door and walked in. “Xia Mengyan, you’re the daughter of the Xia family. Don’t you know that taking without asking is stealing?”

Half an hour ago, the two of them arrived at the villa and saw the things in the storage room. Their eyes were filled with greed. Although Xia Mengyan was also the daughter of a wealthy family, she had never seen so many valuable items. All the jewelry here was worth more than 100,000 yuan. Some of them were even worth a million yuan. A few were no longer made and were priceless.

Faced with so many precious items, Xia Mengyan did not hesitate at all and asked the butler to wrap them up. Xia Yunlou could not help but take action.

In front of her was only a portion of Xia Yunqiu’s belongings, so these shouldn’t be the most valuable. In other words, Qiao Xi still had something more valuable.

As Xia Mengyan was rummaging through the box, she realized that there was a pair of imperial jade earrings in the sandalwood box. These things were naturally expensive. She pretended to pick up the earrings and asked softly, “This is really beautiful. Aunt, can you give this to me?”

At this moment, Xia Yunlou had already lost her wits and naturally agreed to Xia Mengyan’s request. She seemed to have already treated everything in front of her as her own.

Xia Mengyan had just handed the pendant to the butler and asked him to pack it for her when…

A cold female voice interrupted the two of them. The storage room was silent. Their hearts trembled at the same time. Xia Yunlou’s eyes were filled with fear for a moment before dissatisfaction appeared.

The butler had never seen Qiao Xi before. Seeing her arrogant attitude, he immediately stood up and shouted, “Who are you?! This is my master’s villa. How dare you come in casually?! You’re trespassing on private property. We can call the police to arrest you!”

“I trespassed?” Qiao Xi sneered as her cold gaze landed on Xia Mengyan. “Are you guys crazy? Do you like snatching other people’s things so much?”

This was the Qiao family’s villa. In the past, it was her mother’s asset. Now, it was under her name. No matter what, it had nothing to do with the Xia family. How dare they dream of occupying the residence?

Xia Mengyan lowered her head, looking aggrieved. She did not say anything.

Seeing that Qiao Xi did not refute, the butler said even more arrogantly, “Hurry up and leave! Don’t delay my master. If anything valuable is lost, you won’t be able to bear the responsibility!”
