Chapter 579 Things Have Blown Up
When she heard Xu Anran’s answer, Old Madam Yin sneered. “Eldest Miss Xu? Don’t spout nonsense. I’m not your grandmother. Xi Xi, since the Xu family can’t tolerate you, come back to the Yin family with me. Let’s see who still dares to bully you!”
Qiao Xi smiled and nodded.
“What’s going on?”.
The few of them looked at each other and asked in confusion, “The 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 doesn’t have the qualifications to see Old Madam Yin herself!”
Old Madam Yin looked at Xu Anran sharply.
Xu Anran’s body trembled as she explained while trembling, “Grandma, I… I didn’t say that. It’s… Everyone misunderstood.”
Wen Xi could not stand Qiao Xi’s arrogant appearance. Since she was an adopted daughter, she should behave herself. How could she surpass the Xu family’s biological daughter?
She said unhappily, “Old Madam Yin, you can’t blame Cousin. She’s just a little angry. You just came and don’t know what’s going on. Qiao Xi stole Anran’s ring just now.
“It’s because of this that Cousin Anran said some angry words. She didn’t 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 family’s daughter?”
The crowd could hear a pin drop. Everyone hurriedly reacted. The matter of Qiao Xi stealing something hadn’t 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 Anran’s ring. Even if Xu Anran said something overboard, she couldn’t be blamed. Moreover, she did not blame Qiao Xi at all.
Wen Xi pointed at Qiao Xi and roared angrily, “She stole the emerald ring you gave Anran! Even after she was caught red-handed, she didn’t show the slightest regret! Now you know Qiao Xi’s true colors, right?! She even dares to steal the birthday gift you gave Anran! She’s really too much!”
After a few seconds of silence, Old Madam Yin suddenly smiled.
“I gave her an emerald ring?”
Wen Xi was suddenly slightly perturbed when she saw this. “Yes. It’s a set of jade jewelry, and an extremely good emerald ring is part of the set. It’s very expensive. Qiao Xi probably knows that the ring is expensive, so she stole
it.”
Old Madam Yin’s gaze gradually turned cold.
The two young masters behind her also frowned. One of them looked at Xu Anran angrily.
Everyone looked confused. Xu Anran’s body trembled as she lowered her head guiltily.
She hurriedly explained, “Grandma, I didn’t make things difficult for Xi Xi, nor did I blame her for stealing. Besides, I’m afraid that if news of this gets out, it won’t be good for Xi Xi. I’ve already told everyone not to tell anyone. If you don’t believe me, ask them.
“Xi Xi bumped into me and the ring disappeared. I found the ring in her bag. I didn’t malign her. I just told her not to do such things in the future—”
“If you think Xi Xi did it, then call the police.” Gu Zheng glanced at her coldly, then looked at Old Madam Yin. “What do you think?”
Old Madam Yin instantly understood. If she proved that this ring was for Xi Xi, then Xu Anran…
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 Xi’s reputation. Since it was already like this, why not make the mess bigger so that Xi Xi would not suffer?
“Alright, call the police,” 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, “Let’s forget it. If we call the police, how will Xi Xi keep her reputation? Grandma, I won’t pursue the matter anymore, so don’t-“.
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.
