Chapter 569: The Treasure Thief (1)
Mu Huan really saw something better. Because she picked up something else, the girl next to her picked up the diamond necklace that she had looked at just now.
After that, the girl took a few necklaces that Mu Huan had looked at and placed a few of them in front of her. It seemed like she had picked those ones.
Just as Mu Huan had picked out two necklaces and was about to pick one more…
The man who had gone to make a call came back. “I have an urgent matter to attend to. We have to go now. We’ll come over again another day.”
“Go on, I’ll continue picking. Just leave the card here.” The girl waved him away.
“You have to come with me for this matter. Be good and I’ll go out with you again next time!” The man put down the necklace in the woman’s hand and dragged her away.
After they left, Mu Huan called Bo Junyan and asked him whether her mother-in-law liked sapphires or rubies.
“What’s wrong?”
“I came out for a meal with Xiao Meng and Xingye. Then I thought about how I haven’t bought a gift for Mom yet. I’ve just earned a huge sum of money from you, so I wanted to buy some gifts to show my filial piety to Mom,” Mu Huan said naughtily.
“Mom has liked jade for the past few years. She should be very happy if you bought an exquisite jade accessory. She has too many diamonds and gemstones.”
Mu Huan: “Alright, thank you, Hubby!”
Since her mother-in-law did not like gemstone and diamond necklaces, Mu Huan did not choose any of them. After hanging up the call and apologizing to the counter employee, she got up and left. She knew about a jade shop. The master’s carving skills were very good, and the carvings were lifelike. Her mother-in-law would probably like them.
The counter employee thought that they would make a big sale today, but in the end, not a single one was sold.
Hence, she put away the diamond necklaces that she had just taken out in frustration.
As Mu Huan walked, she took a few more glances at the other jewelry. Just as she was about to reach the door…
Suddenly, she heard the counter employee scream, “Stop her! Stop her!”
The security officers at the door immediately stopped Mu Huan.
Mu Huan turned around to look.
The counter employee ran out and said, “I’ve already reported the case. You can’t run anymore!”
“I’m running? Why should I run?” Mu Huan was baffled.
“The gemstone necklaces you looked at earlier have been changed into fake ones!” the counter employee said as she grabbed Mu Huan’s arm tightly to prevent her from running away.
Mu Huan frowned. “Is this a new scam? You’re such a big store, and you’re still doing this? Or have you changed ownership, and now, this place is a black shop?” Mu Huan had heard that this shop was an honest one. She didn’t expect that she would be accused of swapping their things after simply looking at a necklace!
“It’s not us! It’s you, you’re the thief!” said the counter employee as she grabbed her clothes.
“You can’t spout nonsense accusations however you want!” Mu Huan’s gaze turned cold as she flung the counter employee away forcefully.
When the security officers around her saw this, they immediately wanted to go forward and grab her. However, when they were swept away by Mu Huan’s icy glare, they instantly stopped moving.
They didn’t know what was going on either. The girl in front of them looked delicate and gentle, but they didn’t dare to go forward and catch her.
Just then, the manager arrived upon receiving a message. “What’s going on?”
“She looked at a few necklaces. When I was packing them up again, they’ve turned into fake ones!” the counter employee said while pointing at Mu Huan. The texture of real diamonds and fake diamonds were different. Hence, even if they were made exactly the same, she could tell that something was amiss with just one look!
