Chapter 255
Miao Xiaomei pointed at Zhao Yuan and said, "She came into my room while I was in the kitchen and took out the tickets from the drawer. She was about to put them in her pocket when I caught her."
Duan's mother and Duan Dawei looked at Zhao Yuan in surprise, unable to imagine that Zhao Yuan would do such a thing.
"I didn't!" Zhao Yuan broke out in cold sweat on his back.
It was obvious that if Miao Xiaomei had arrived a little later, she could have put the ticket in her pocket without anyone noticing and closed the drawer, and no one would have been able to see what she had done.
Unfortunately, my luck is just that bad.
She was just a little bit off, a little bit short of being caught by Miao Xiaomei.
But she must never admit it!
If she admits it in front of so many people, she’s done!
"Not yet?" Miao Xiaomei laughed angrily. "My drawer was closed tightly, but you took advantage of me not noticing to enter my room, open it, and even took out the tickets from the very back. Were you trying to steal the tickets, or what else?"
Today, Zhao Yuan came to chat with her, and Miao Xiaomei thought of the last time she ran into Zhao Yuan in her room.
Later, Miao Xiaomei thought about it carefully again. She always felt that Zhao Yuan's casual entry and exit of her room was not just a matter of politeness, but she might have other purposes.
Therefore, Miao Xiaomei took this opportunity to conduct a special test.
She pretended to go to the kitchen to boil water, and specifically told Zhao Yuan that she wanted to watch the water boil and asked Zhao Yuan to sit for a while.
Zhao Yuan said, "It's okay, it's okay, just go ahead and do your thing," but within a few seconds, when her back was turned, he disappeared.
Miao Xiaomei waited for about half a minute before tiptoeing into the house to look for Zhao Yuan.
She soon discovered that Zhao Yuan was rummaging through her and her man's room.
Miao Xiaomei hid in the dark, staring at Zhao Yuan the whole time. When she saw Zhao Yuan open the drawer of the wooden table, take out the ticket and put it in his pocket, she suddenly appeared and caught him in the act.
She thought that since Zhao Yuan had been caught red-handed, he would have nothing to argue about. However, Zhao Yuan continued to argue until now.
As expected, someone who could do such a sneaky thing must be so shameless that she couldn't even imagine!
However, no matter how Zhao Yuan argued, everyone could guess what was going on after hearing what Miao Xiaomei said, and they all looked at Zhao Yuan with strange eyes.
"I didn't! I didn't steal the tickets!" Zhao Yuan could only repeat this sentence in a dry and wordless manner.
"It was the same thing when you came to my house last time. While you went to the kitchen to get some water, you entered my room and looked around in front of the closet door. Were you planning to steal something last time? It was just because I happened to show up that you gave up?" Miao Xiaomei ruthlessly spilled the beans about what happened last time.
"Miao Xiaomei, stop talking nonsense! I didn't steal anything from your house at all, and I'm not that kind of person!" Zhao Yuan said.
Aunt Donghong looked at Zhao Yuan, whose face was flushed, and then looked at her daughter-in-law, who had a righteous look on her face, and she already understood what was going on.
This Zhao Yuan was probably really planning to steal tickets from her house, but he was just caught red-handed by Miao Xiaomei.
And this wasn't the first time Zhao Yuan had done something like this. Ye Fuyue had asked Zhao Yuan to take care of her before, but suddenly stopped him. Perhaps she'd discovered something fishy about Zhao Yuan.
But they all lived in the same compound, and Miao Xiaomei didn't find her family's tickets from Zhao Yuan's pocket. As long as Zhao Yuan denied it, Miao Xiaomei couldn't do anything to him.
Aunt Donghong wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter and said, "Xiaomei, maybe you saw it wrong? I think we should just forget about it."
Miao Xiaomei widened her eyes and looked at her mother-in-law in disbelief.
"Did I see it wrong? She showed up in my room without my permission. I even saw her open the desk drawer, take out the tickets, and put them in her pocket. Did I see it wrong?"
"But didn't Zhao Yuan say that she didn't steal the tickets? Let's just forget about it." Aunt Donghong said, winking at her daughter-in-law.
I don’t know whether Miao Xiaomei didn’t understand or understood but didn’t want to pay attention. Anyway, Miao Xiaomei had a cold face and turned her eyes away, not looking at Aunt Donghong.
"We can't just let this go. I saw it with my own eyes, there's no way I'm wrong!" Miao Xiaomei said stubbornly.
Aunt Donghong sighed in her heart.
As a daughter-in-law, she has her own set of principles and is too stubborn.
"Zhao Yuan, what's going on? Do you really want to steal the tickets from Aunt Donghong's house?" Duan Dawei asked with a grim expression.
"I didn't, I really didn't." Zhao Yuan kept saying this and refused to admit it.
Duan's mother said, "Even if you didn't, you can't just go into Xiaomei's room. You can't even explain it clearly now."
"I..." Zhao Yuan knew that Duan's mother was trying to find a way for her to get out of this situation. She tried to explain, "I just saw Xiaomei staying in the kitchen for a long time. I was bored sitting alone, so I just wandered around the house. I didn't mean to steal anything."
Seeing that everyone wanted to brush this matter aside, Miao Xiaomei was very angry and said, "You were just wandering around, but why did you open the drawer in my room and rummage through the tickets in the innermost part?"
"I saw that the drawer was not closed properly, so I wanted to help you close it. I accidentally used too much force and opened the drawer. I didn't mean to steal the tickets." Zhao Yuan said evasively.
Miao Xiaomei snorted coldly: "You're just lying to yourself. Who would believe what you say?"
Aunt Donghong held Miao Xiaomei back and said, "Alright, the ticket isn't lost, let's just forget about it."
Miao Xiaomei was about to retort unconvinced when Aunt Donghong said to Duan's mother, "Take Zhao Yuan back."
Aunt Donghong said to the crowd, "Everyone, stop watching. There's nothing to see anymore. Let's go back."
After saying that, Aunt Donghong dragged Miao Xiaomei back into the house and closed the door.
Miao Xiaomei was dragged back into the house and pulled her arm away unconvinced. "Why should we just let it go? If I hadn't noticed this time, she would have definitely stolen our tickets. She was so bold as to steal tickets from our house, it must not be the first time she's done it. I'm going to pull her out and warn everyone in this compound. You're just pretending to be a good person and saying let it go. What am I going to do then?"
Aunt Donghong had long been accustomed to her daughter-in-law's temper. She didn't get angry, but said kindly, "If you don't want to let it go like this, what do you want to do?"
"Send her to the police!" Miao Xiaomei said righteously.
"The ticket wasn't found in her pocket. What's the point of handing her over to the police?" Aunt Donghong said, "Everyone already knows what happened after what you just said. If you continue to pursue this matter, it will be a disaster."
