1195 A Collectible Worth 200,000 yuan
“I’m sorry, Madam Xia. You can’t leave yet.” The female police officer stopped Xia Yunlou and glanced at the trembling Xia Mengyan. She asked respectfully, “Miss Qiao, regarding the intentional destruction of the collectible…”
Xia Mengyan’s face turned pale as she bit her lip uneasily.
Xia Yunlou roared, “Qiao Xi! Are you done?! I wronged you, but are you going to wrong Mengyan now? She’s innocent! Don’t make things difficult for her!”
Xia Mengyan’s mind was in chaos. When did she destroy Qiao Xi’s collectible? Qiao Xi was clearly taking revenge and wanted to frame her!
Qiao Xi ignored the crazy Xia Yunlou and said casually, “Everyone has seen the surveillance footage. Xia Mengyan deliberately smashed my wind chime and stepped on it a few times. Many pieces of that shell wind chime have already shattered, and the piece has lost its value.”
Xia Mengyan’s entire body trembled. The female police officer went forward to take a look at the surveillance footage. Although Xia Mengyan kept saying that she didn’t do it on purpose, when she slowed down the video, she could tell that Xia Mengyan had deliberately thrown the wind chime on the ground. Moreover, Xia Mengyan’s eyes and expression revealed a trace of smugness. She had deliberately destroyed the shell wind chime in order to anger Qiao Xi.
Her acting skills were so bad that all the police officers present could see her triumphant smile.
Xia Mengyan’s body stiffened, and she was about to break down. She had only accidentally broken a wind chime. What right did Qiao Xi have to be so relentless? Now that Xia Yunlou was already detained, was she going to be detained too? Was the daughter of the Xia family actually going to be thrown in jail? If this matter got out, the socialites of upper class society would definitely laugh at her. How could she face others in the future?
Xia Yunlou was already suppressing her anger. When she saw Xia Mengyan’s entire body trembling, she immediately roared with a ferocious expression, “Qiao Xi! What exactly do you want? Are you crazy?! Mengyan only broke a wind chime, and it’s not anything valuable. You actually want to sue Mengyan because of this? Are you crazy? If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have given birth to you back then!”
As soon as she said this, everyone’s sharp gazes suddenly turned to Xia Yunlou.
Gu Zheng exuded a cold killing intent, and his gaze was terrifyingly cold.
The female police officer couldn’t stand it anymore. “Madam Xia, as Miss Qiao’s mother, you helped your niece wrongly accuse her of stealing. This time, your niece deliberately broke your daughter’s valuables, yet you’re saying that your daughter is calculative. You really don’t know who your biological daughter is.”
Everyone only found out today that Miss Qiao was abandoned when she was young and had been wandering outside. She was only found not long ago. They did not understand why Xia Yunlou, the daughter of a wealthy family, would abandon her daughter.
At this moment, Xia Mengyan lowered her head and was about to break down. Her eyes were bloodshot, and tears fell like beads. She sobbed softly, “Xi Xi, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have misunderstood you, but I accidentally broke that wind chime. Moreover, it’s just a worthless thing. Do you have to target me like this?”
Qiao Xi chuckled, her eyes filled with disdain. “Miss Xia, your ears might not be good. Let me repeat myself. That shell wind chime is a part of a rare collectible that’s no longer in production. It’s worth 200,000 yuan.
“200,000 yuan might not be a big deal to you, but it’s enough to count as a crime. You have to take responsibility for it!”
“200,000 yuan? How is that possible? That’s just an ordinary shell wind chime. It can be found everywhere! Why are you so unreasonable?!”
When Xia Mengyan saw Xia Mengyan crying aggrievedly, she couldn’t help but roar loudly. She shouted at the top of her voice, “She’s slandering us! Arrest her and detain her!”
Everyone: “???”
The female police officer had a headache. She didn’t expect this rich lady to be so rude as to shout at the police station.
Xia Mengyan looked up aggrievedly and said pitifully, “Xi Xi, I know you hate me, but it’s just an ordinary shell wind chime. I didn’t break it on purpose. Are you really going to extort 200,000 from me?”
“Extortion? You can’t say that. This shell wind chime is indeed worth 200,000 yuan. I’m not lying. Now that we’re at the police station, Miss Xia, there’s no need to pretend anymore. Whether you intentionally broke it or not, it’s been made very clear in the video. I hope you can confess and ask for leniency. Otherwise, you’ll be punished even more severely,” Qiao Xi said casually. Then, she took out the wind chime that Xia Mengyan had damaged.
