Chapter 66 Conviction
When System 118 heard that Zhao Huizhou was getting married, he was overjoyed.
I suggest that Lin Qing go over to join in the fun, maybe it will speed up the progress of the plot.
Lin Qing ignored it.
What's the point of joining in this kind of excitement?
It was as if she cared so much about Zhao Huizhou.
There is a dark personality in it.
Lin Qing doesn't like doing this, but she can't just follow others in their craziness, right?
And there is Cheng Luo!
It seemed that he was consciously avoiding the topic of Zhao Huizhou.
The two chatted briefly for a few more sentences and then hung up.
After Lin Qing returned to the dormitory, she was no longer in the mood to chat with Liu Qian.
I feel a little bit irritated.
Just lie down on the bed and take a nap.
She admitted that she liked Cheng Luo a little bit. This man's character and appearance were almost touching her heart.
But we have to face the fact that Cheng Luo's thinking is still stuck in this era.
It's hard for people of this era not to care if their significant other has been engaged to someone else, right?
If Cheng Luo minded her past with Zhao Huizhou.
Lin Qing felt that it was a bit tacky.
I don't like it that much anymore.
Even want to change someone.
This is worth thinking about.
...
After Cheng Luo hung up the phone, she felt a little confused and she could tell that she was unhappy.
So, who are you unhappy about?
At this moment, my heart was filled with anxiety and fear.
......
On the night before Mid-Autumn Festival, the bright yellow moon became a little bit rounder.
Some people sleep soundly.
Some people can't sleep because they are so happy to be reunited with their loved ones.
There are also people who can't sleep because of her.
The Zhang family is very different.
The whole family couldn't sleep because they lost something.
Her stepdaughter is getting married, and as a stepmother, Chen Yin always has to put on some pretense.
She originally wanted to take out a decent jade ornament as a dowry for Zhang Hong, but when she rummaged through the jewelry box, she found that a jade pendant was missing.
The jade pendant was handed down from her maternal ancestors and was to be passed down to her daughter from generation to generation.
Chen Yin originally intended to keep it as a dowry for her daughter when she got married.
Unexpectedly, all the jade ornaments in the box were there, except the most important jade pendant.
Definitely not a thief.
It couldn't be the aunt at home. Her children's jobs were arranged by her and Lao Zhang. For the sake of his children, he wouldn't be foolish enough to steal her things.
Besides, if they wanted to steal, they would have done it long ago.
The only one who could steal was Zhang Hong.
This time, Chen Yin did not intend to keep quiet and went straight to her husband.
Zhang Fengshi knew about this jade pendant.
In the past, people might have thought that his wife was prejudiced against their eldest daughter and had misunderstood Zhang Hong.
Now, I'm a little uncertain.
So the family gathered in the living room.
Zhang Fengshi's face was stern, as majestic as a lion king, making people dare not look directly at him, "Your aunt lost a jade pendant, and that jade pendant was to be used as a dowry for Rourou."
Zhang Zhirou grew up in a honey pot and had no concept of worldly things like money.
It’s also okay to have one.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have it.
But knowing that his things were stolen by this sister, he felt a little disgusted and looked at Zhang Hong unfriendly.
Zhang Hong clenched her fists tightly, and looked at everyone in the room with red eyes, "Did Dad and Auntie think I stole the jade pendant?"
Zhang Fengshi's eyebrows were furrowed into a shape of a "川" character. Just now when he mentioned the jade pendant, even though his daughter tried to cover it up quickly, her expression was still not right.
It was probably her.
But he is self-righteous and trying to be clever.
So disappointing.
"If you took it, you took it. If you didn't take it, you didn't take it. Now I'm asking you, have you taken it?"
Zhang Hong bit her lips tightly and looked at Zhang Fengshi stubbornly. She felt bitter in her heart. Why did he come to ask her first when he lost something?
And he didn't even doubt whether Chen Yin was targeting her and framing her.
If he had protected her for even a moment, she wouldn't have hated him so much.
Does he also look down on her because she comes from the countryside?
The humiliation in Zhang Hong's heart gradually turned into hatred, and she questioned Zhang Fengshi in silence with grievance.
Seeing that the truth was almost revealed, Chen Yin spoke up, "That jade pendant was left to Rourou by my grandfather, so it is more important."
"The reason your father and I came to ask you is because we're afraid there might be some misunderstanding. It would be best if you didn't take it. If someone else took it, I can handle it impartially and have professionals come to investigate the case to avoid making some ridiculous jokes."
This was said softly.
In fact, he was telling Zhang Hong that if it was not her who took the money, but the aunt at home who took it, she could ask the police to solve the case.
Don't let the whole thing end up being traced back to her, and she become the laughing stock of the entire residential compound.
Zhang Hong snorted coldly, hoping that the police would come to investigate. Anyway, the jade pendant had been integrated into her body and could not be found.
But if the box of jade ornaments were seen by the police, it would only bring disaster to my stepmother in two years.
When she thought of this, Zhang Hong almost laughed fiercely in her heart, "Then Auntie, please call the police."
She wanted to see how she would step down if she couldn't find out the truth.
Instead, the father might feel guilty for misunderstanding her.
The more Zhang Hong thought about it, the more excited she became. She straightened her back and said fearlessly, "Auntie can also search my bedroom until she finds it. My marriage can also be postponed because of this."
"After all, I don't want to walk out of the house with a reputation as a thief."
Zhang Hong stared at Chen Yin with pride.
Chen Yin also looked at her indifferently.
Zhang Fengshi: “…”
They won't call the police.
She might know this.
At this moment, Zhang Fengshi felt a little tired and a little regretful. He should not have allowed his mother to coerce him and leave his eldest daughter in the countryside.
As a result, he developed this kind of personality.
Very similar to her biological mother.
I am obviously stupid, but I always think I am smart.
Zhang Fengshi felt weak inside and got up to go back to the house.
Zhang Zhirou glanced at her father's back and realized almost instantly that her father was giving up on Zhang Hong. She turned her head and looked at Zhang Hong with disdain, sneering, "It's just a jade pendant. Just give it to your sister as a wedding gift."
She was too disdainful to argue with someone like Zhang Hong, so she got up and went back to the house.
Zhang Hong didn't expect that they would react like this.
She felt extremely embarrassed and clenched her fists tightly, as if someone was slapping her in the face.
It turns out that some people will convict you just because they say so.
Arrogance makes people hate it.
Chen Yin picked up the cup and took a sip of water. In the living room where only the two of them were, she was too lazy to pretend to be compassionate.
"You are so confident in challenging me, I guess you must have hidden your things very well. Keep the jade pendant well. Maybe one day, you will realize that what you lost today is far more than what you gained."
After Chen Yin finished speaking, she also got up and went upstairs.
Under the pale yellow light, the figure walked gracefully and calmly.
She walked to the wall and turned off the light.
"Thump, thump, thump."
In the semi-dark living room, the sound of footsteps going upstairs echoed...
Moonlight slanted in through the window.
Cool.
arrogant.
