Chapter Nineteen: The "Academic Success Charm" Dropped Out
After a long while, Pei Yuli lowered his eyes and chuckled softly.
"In Huanhuan's eyes, is her brother such an unreasonable person?"
Xu Yihuan was caught off guard and choked by Pei Yuli's words.
"No...no."
Pei Yuli raised his head.
Their gaze fell on Liu Changyuan.
"Tell me in detail, what exactly happened?"
Upon seeing this, Xu Yihuan's heart sank.
Pei Yuli will probably have to protect Wu Qingqing again.
Liu Changyuan immediately seemed to have received an order.
He grinned, a fawning smile on his face.
"Tonight, Miss Qingqing told me that her bracelet is missing. It seems she lost it when she came to the Xu family before. She asked me to help her look for it if I had the chance."
"Who knew that I had only been looking for a short while when someone detained me, and as soon as I came in, Xu Yihuan insisted that I had stolen something!"
Liu Changyuan originally wanted to act polite, but he didn't expect that Xu Yihuan and Miss Qingqing would completely expose him.
Wu Qingqing chimed in.
Her eyes showed a hint of grievance: "Yes, the bracelet I lost was the one you gave me for my birthday last time."
Pei Yuli's relaxed demeanor paused, and then his gaze fixed on Wu Qingqing.
"You lost the bracelet I gave you last time?"
His voice wasn't loud, and he spoke slowly and deliberately, yet he inexplicably gave off a dangerous vibe.
Wu Qingqing hadn't expected that Pei Yuli's focus would be on this.
Hearing his tone, I was immediately frightened and spoke much faster.
"I'm...I'm sorry, Brother Yuli. I didn't mean to. Huanhuan asked me to come to her house to do my homework that day. I don't know what happened, but my things were lost, so I thought I left them at the Xu family's house."
As Wu Qingqing spoke, she secretly glanced at Pei Yuli.
It's true that the bracelet was lost, but it's fake that it was lost to Xu Yihuan.
If something is lost, it's lost. How would she know where it went?
Pei Yuli's expression was unpredictable.
It's unclear whether they accepted this explanation or not.
He then turned his gaze to Xu Yihuan.
"What did your sister lose?"
Xu Yihuan was already annoyed that Pei Yuli had returned at this time and interrupted her plans.
Now, hearing Pei Yuli ask him a question, he was even more annoyed.
"What business is it of yours what I lose? Even if it's just a piece of paper, I'll find it for you, is that not allowed?"
Pei Yuli paused for a moment, then a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.
"Sure, of course you can, why not?"
"He stole my things, can't I check the security footage now?"
Xu Yihuan pointed at Liu Changyuan, then looked calmly at Pei Yuli.
This bastard is clearly in a good mood today, so let's take advantage of his good mood and say a few more words.
Otherwise, given Pei Yuli's unpredictable personality, he might throw Liu Changyuan out at any moment.
Then I'll have worked for nothing all day.
Upon hearing this, Liu Changyuan immediately began to protest his innocence.
"It wasn't me, it really wasn't me."
"I've said it so many times, I really didn't go upstairs, and I didn't take anything from Xu Yihuan!"
Upon hearing Pei Yuli's words, Wu Qingqing's heart, which had just settled, jumped again.
“That’s right, I also think my uncle wouldn’t do such a thing.”
Wu Qingqing spoke cautiously, glancing at Pei Yuli's expression as she spoke.
She has no choice but to take a gamble now.
I bet that even if Pei Yuli guesses the truth, he will still make Xu Yihuan suffer for her sake.
"uncle?"
As expected, Pei Yuli looked up and glanced at Liu Changyuan after hearing this.
Liu Changyuan nodded quickly.
"Yes! I am Qingqing's uncle. In Yuncheng, it's just the two of us who depend on each other for survival."
"My Qingqing has such a hard life. Even helping her pick up something makes people think she's stealing. Even if we're poor, we would never do something like that!"
As expected, Pei Yuli's gaze fell on Xu Yihuan.
"Huanhuan, why don't we just let it go? Since the lost item wasn't that valuable, it's fine as it is."
"If you want one, your brother will buy you another one."
Pei Yuli casually uttered these words.
Xu Yihuan's heart sank, and a bitter smile crept onto her lips.
Pei Yuli still stood on Wu Qingqing's side without hesitation.
Then Xu Yihuan shook her head firmly.
"no."
Pei Yuli's eyes darkened.
"Be good, listen to me. Since it wasn't that important, it's okay to lose it."
Pei Yuli's voice was still gentle, but Xu Yihuan could tell that he was no longer happy.
Xu Yihuan pursed her lips, feeling sullen and unwilling to speak anymore.
Although Liu Changyuan only took a small sachet, her plans were completely disrupted by Pei Yuli.
Liu Changyuan couldn't understand the shift in the aura between the two.
He was still wailing desperately.
Tan Zhixu, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it anymore.
I kicked him.
He kicked the 40-year-old man to the ground.
Liu Changyuan cried out and sat down on the ground.
"Help! Murder!"
Upon hearing this voice, a hint of impatience finally flashed across Pei Yuli's eyes.
Xu Yihuan also looked over at the same time.
Liu Changyuan braced himself on the ground, his body tilting to one side.
However, at this very moment...
A blue object fell out of Liu Changyuan's pocket.
Wu Qingqing exclaimed in surprise.
My instinct was to block the thing.
But under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wu Qingqing didn't dare to make a move.
Although the air pressure at the scene was very low.
But we have nothing to fear when it comes to discussing the order of things.
Tan Zhixu's gaze fell on the blue object.
Just now in the back garden, I saw Liu Changyuan take this out and examine it intently against the light.
What exactly is this thing?
Tan Zhixu squatted down and picked up the item with his slender fingers.
I took a closer look.
Well, he couldn't tell what it was either.
Tan Zhixu rarely buys things online, let alone receives small sachets as gifts from merchants.
He casually handed the items to Xu Yihuan.
Xu Yihuan felt a surge of joy.
Great! This really came to me without any effort at all!
But Xu Yihuan still looked shocked.
"Isn't this my academic talisman?! Why is it on you?!"
Xu Yihuan rebuked him sharply, displaying the demeanor of an unreasonable young lady.
"Did you deliberately steal my academic talisman to make me fail my college entrance exam?!"
Liu Changyuan sat on the ground, his heart trembling.
Wu Qingqing only told him to steal things, but didn't tell him what to do if he got caught.
So Liu Changyuan, in a fit of desperation, sat down on the ground and didn't say a word.
Tan Zhixu obediently handed the items to Xu Yihuan.
Xu Yihuan took it and quickly put the item in her pocket.
He looked as if he was afraid of being seen.
Pei Yuli saw this.
He raised a long eyebrow.
"Wait, Huanhuan, may I see your academic talisman?"
Pei Yuli emphasized the three words "academic talisman".
Xu Yihuan's heart tightened. This wasn't a real academic talisman, so how could she possibly show it to Pei Yuli!
