Xia Shiwen's beautiful eyebrows furrowed into a knot: "Could it be that Jiang Xinrou did something I don't know about?"
"This matter is a bit complicated, and it's probably not something that can be explained clearly over the phone in a short time."
"Alright, in that case, I'll have someone pick you up, and we can talk in person."
Half an hour later, Jiang Ran arrived at a restaurant in a secluded location.
When she came in, Xia Shiwen was already waiting for her in her seat.
Upon seeing Jiang Ran enter, she stood up impatiently.
"What's the other thing you mentioned?"
She was incredibly curious, especially when she found out it involved her.
Jiang Xinrou is just waiting for her; she'd better pray she hasn't done anything too outrageous behind her back.
Otherwise, she won't let her off the hook!
Jiang Ran sat down gracefully and took out a photo from her bag.
The photo shows an amber pendant.
Xia Shiwen recognized the pendant at a glance.
"How could this be—" she exclaimed, grabbing the photo excitedly. "I can't find this pendant anywhere. How did you get a photo of it? Where is it now?"
Jiang Ran didn't keep her in suspense and simply told her directly.
"It's in the closet in Jiang Xinrou's room right now. I took this photo secretly when she wasn't around."
Xia Shiwen gritted her teeth and said angrily, "She's a thief! This was a birthday present my grandfather gave me when I was little. Why would she steal it?"
Jiang Ran was somewhat surprised: "You didn't know anything at all?"
"Know what?" Xia Shiwen was even more confused.
Why do you think she would steal this pendant?
Xia Shiwen became even more anxious upon hearing this: "Hey, stop beating around the bush and just tell me directly."
Seeing that she was anxious, Jiang Ran stopped hiding it and asked directly, "As far as I know, you and Jiang Xinrou used to be good friends, right?"
"Yes...but that's not important! Tell me quickly why she stole my pendant!"
“Because of Gu Shifan.” Jiang Ran pursed her lips and said, “You saved a little boy by accident when you were a child, right? That little boy was Gu Shifan. He remembered your pendant and had been looking for the owner of the pendant... You can probably guess what happened next. Jiang Xinrou found out about this by accident, so she stole your pendant and pretended to be you when you were a child. That’s why Gu Shifan started to look at her differently.”
"Pah! That shameless little bitch! The little boy I saved when I was a child was actually Gu Shifan! How could I only find out now!" Xia Shiwen was furious.
She paced back and forth anxiously, looking at Jiang Ran pleadingly: "What should I do now? If I go and tell Gu Shifan that I am the owner of the pendant, do you think he will believe me?"
She fell in love with Gu Shifan at first sight when she met him at the banquet. She threw everything aside to pursue him, sending him lunch and love letters every day, but she couldn't move him at all.
She didn't learn the truth until last year!
She was shy back then, so she asked her best friend Jiang Xinrou to deliver it for her. But that shameless bitch Jiang Xinrou actually delivered it to Gu Shifan in her own name!
Ugh! I'm so angry!
Jiang Xinrou not only stole her lunchbox and love letters, but also stole her pendant and impersonated her.
Xia Shiwen felt like her lungs were about to explode with anger!
But what about Gu Shifan? Will he believe me?
Jiang Ran pondered for a moment and shook her head: "Gu Shifan is now convinced that Jiang Xinrou was the one who saved her back then. If you go to him now and say that you are the owner of the pendant, he definitely won't believe you."
"Ugh! What should I do? I can't stand this!"
"Calm down first, sit down, let's analyze the current situation." Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Jiang Ran had no choice but to soothe her.
Xia Shiwen nodded like a chick pecking at rice and obediently returned to her seat.
"Have you told Jiang Xinrou the details of how you saved him back then?"
Xia Shiwen opened her mouth wide in surprise, then frowned in distress.
"I'm so stupid! I'm such a blabbermouth. When Jiang Xinrou suddenly asked me if I had saved a little boy when I was a child, I didn't even realize anything was wrong and just told her everything!"
Jiang Ran couldn't help but rub her forehead: "Then... is there anything on that pendant that can prove your identity? Like a mark or engraving or something?"
Xia Shiwen shook her head with a bitter face.
The pendant was a birthday gift from her grandfather when she was little, and she had always worn it around her neck until it suddenly disappeared last year. Little did she know that it was Jiang Xinrou, that thief, who stole it!
"Don't worry, a thief will eventually leave a trace."
Jiang Ran didn't know what to do for a moment, so she could only comfort her.
She only learned about this in her previous life when she was dying, when Jiang Xinrou was smugly talking about her methods.
In her past life, one of the reasons why Jiang Xinrou was able to do everything so smoothly was because she relied on Gu Shifan's favor and had the title of Gu family's future wife, which made everything she did even easier.
Gu Shifan liked her entirely because she stole Xia Shiwen's pendant and impersonated the person who saved him back then.
How dare she, a thief, steal someone else's lover?
However, Gu Shifan's ending in his previous life was not good either...
only...
In this life, she will absolutely not let Jiang Xinrou have it so easy.
What needs to be done now is to sever her connection with the Gu family and make Gu Shifan know the truth about what happened back then.
"I'm so angry!" Xia Shiwen angrily picked up a glass of juice and took a big gulp.
Damn it!
I was the one who saved him when he was a child!
She was clearly the one Gu Shifan liked!
It's all Jiang Xinrou's fault, that thief!
Thief!
She will definitely not let Jiang Xinrou get away with this!
Putting down her juice, Xia Shiwen stood up gracefully and looked at Jiang Ran: "Thank you for telling me all this. I will remember this favor and will definitely repay it in the future. If you need any help from me, please don't hesitate to ask. I will do my best to help you."
"good."
Jiang Ran did not refuse her kindness, after all, more people mean more help.
Bringing down the Jiang family is not so simple.
Moreover, as a victim, Xia Shiwen has the right to know the truth.
"Alright, then I'll be going now." Xia Shiwen waved to her, then suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "By the way, you have to tell me immediately if there's anything going on with Jiang Xinrou! You and I are on the same side, and I think you hate her too, after all, she's been stealing your identity as the Jiang family's daughter for so many years."
Jiang Ran didn't say anything, but just smiled and nodded.
Seeing that she agreed, Xia Shiwen got into the car.
He deeply regretted his blindness back then.
What kind of taste does she have? How could she become best friends with Jiang Xinrou?
He stole her lunchbox and love letter, and also her pendant and the person she liked!
Is this what you call best friends?
Is it a spy for the enemy?
After watching Xia Shiwen leave, Jiang Ran received another phone call.
Looking at the number on the screen, Jiang Ran smiled, revealing a strange curve to her lips.
