Chapter 1189 - 1189 Counterattack
1189 Counterattack
The driver drove the car to the entrance of the Qiao family’s villa. After all, Xia Yunlou was Qiao Xi’s mother, so the butler did not dare to stop them. The two of them swaggered into the villa.
Xia Mengyan’s eyes were filled with schemes. “Aunt, I put the box away when I left the storage room, so the bracelet must have fallen in the storage room. Moreover, you were the one who snatched the box from Qiao Xi and gave it to me. Was the bracelet in the box at that time?”
After being suddenly asked by Xia Mengyan, Xia Yunlou was not sure if the bracelet was in the box when she handed it back to Xia Mengyan. “I don’t remember, but when I gave you the box, I closed it. If the bracelet was still there at that time, it wouldn’t have gone missing.”
Xia Mengyan looked around the storage room and finally returned to Xia Yunlou with a helpless expression. Xia Yunlou’s face was ashen, and an idea formed in Xia Mengyan’s mind.
“I’m so stupid! How could I have lost such a precious thing? I remember that after Xi Xi came in, I took out the bracelet and handed it to her. I didn’t pass it to anyone else. After that, I took the box back and closed it. I didn’t take it out again. How did I suddenly lose it?”
Xia Yunlou’s body stiffened, and her expression was extremely ugly.
Qiao Xi!
When she thought of how Qiao Xi had stolen the bracelet, Xia Yunlou felt extremely embarrassed. She could not suppress the anger in her heart and roared, “It must be Qiao Xi! She stole your bracelet!”
“Other than us, only Qiao Xi touched the bracelet. She must have wanted the bracelet but was unwilling to give you the wind chime, so she took it away. Why is she so cheap?!”
Xia Mengyan pretended to be surprised. “No way. How could Xi Xi…”
“It must be her! How did Xia Yunqiu educate her child? She actually allowed Qiao Xi to steal things! She’s dead and left her daughter here to embarrass me! I’m so angry!”
Xia Yunlou shouted crazily, “Mengyan! Follow me to the police station to report this matter. I want her to know the price of stealing! If we don’t teach her a lesson this time, she’ll definitely become worse and do even worse things!”
Xia Mengyan’s heart trembled. If they went to the police station, would they find out about what she did? However, on second thought, she was the person who reported the case and the daughter of the Xia family. Those police officers would definitely not suspect her.
She pretended to decline. “Forget it. No matter what, Xi Xi is your biological daughter, Mrs. Gu, and the daughter of the Yin family. If this matter blows up, she’ll offend many people.”
“What’s there to be afraid of?! Can she blame us for stealing something?” Xia Yunlou felt her face burning. “Now that she stole something from you, it’s fine if we teach her a lesson. If she steals something from someone else in the future, she won’t be afraid of losing face, but I’m her biological mother. I’ll definitely be criticized for not teaching my daughter well. I don’t want to lose face!”
“Mengyan, don’t be afraid. I’ll accompany you to the police. I’ll definitely get her to return your bracelet! Let’s go!”
“Aunt…”
“Driver, let’s go to the nearest police station. Qiao Xi is so young but already has so many bad habits. How dare she steal things? I have to teach her a lesson!”
The driver looked helpless. How could Miss Qiao steal something? He, an outsider, did not believe it. How could Madam Xia be so sure that Miss Qiao had stolen something?
…
Longwan Residential.
Qiao Xi leaned lazily on the sofa and listened to the news from Song Shijing. The smile on her face grew wider and wider. “Xia Mengyan lost her bracelet that costs one million yuan. Xia Yunlou thinks that I stole it, so she went to the police to report it?”
Song Shijing nodded. “Yes.”
“Stealing an item worth a million yuan is a big crime!”
“Xia Yunlou has already taken out the receipt for the bracelet. As the amount involved is too high, the police have already opened a case for investigation. As the aunt of the owner, Xia Yunlou insists that you stole the bracelet. If word gets out, it’ll affect your reputation,” Song Shijing said.
“Heh.” Qiao Xi snorted coldly. “Coincidentally, I also want to make a trip to the police station. I originally wanted Xia Mengyan to compensate me, but who knew that they would actually bite back and say that I stole the bracelet? How interesting!”
“Xia Mengyan deliberately destroyed my collection of artworks and hasn’t compensated me yet. Now, Xia Yunlou is accusing me of stealing a bracelet worth a million yuan. Will these two people end up in the police station for a while after this?”
Song Shijing knew that Madam had wanted to counterattack a long time ago, but before she could do anything, the other party had already gone to the police station. However, this was nothing to Madam.
He asked respectfully, “Madam, are you going out now?”
“Yes, which police station are they at? Send me there. I want to report a case too.” Qiao Xi smiled meaningfully.
