"What? Five million!" Pei Shasha couldn't help but exclaim.
Jiang Mianmian glanced at her and smiled calmly.
"What's wrong? Five million isn't a lot! Besides, you promised to give my daughter a big gift, you can't go back on your word!"
"That's right!" Bai Zhijin walked over from the side and slapped Pei Shasha on the shoulder. "Our Niannian will definitely give it to you, right? Xiaoyouzi, you two are such good friends, what's a little gemstone!"
Pei Shasha's expression changed, but she remained silent.
Five million? The card she got from Shao Xiaofei only had five million in it.
Could it be that Pei Nian has been living a life of luxury all these years, and doesn't even care about such a sum of money?
That's why Jiang Mianmian spoke like that?
"Hey, isn't that Pei Nian, who's on good terms with Miss Lu?" At this moment, some female celebrities around them started whispering. "Did you hear what they were saying?"
"It seems that...they had an agreement before that Pei Nian would give Miss Lu's daughter a big gift, but now it seems she has gone back on her word!"
"Really? Ha, it seems that this kind of sisterhood in high society is nothing special! Before, Pei Nian and Miss Lu were so close, following each other wherever Miss Lu went... What, now that she's hooked up with the young master of the Huo family, does she not even want to bother with the pretense anymore?"
"That gift was worth five million... Turns out their fake sisterhood wasn't even worth five million!"
Pei Shasha was getting increasingly embarrassed and was about to turn around and teach them a lesson when Jiang Mianmian grabbed her wrist.
"Never mind, Niannian," Jiang Mianmian said softly. "These people are always gossiping. I'll discipline them properly in the future!"
"Yes, they are artists from Qingshan Entertainment. You should discipline them properly!" Pei Shasha was furious. "Sister Mianmian, they are representing Qingshan Entertainment and your reputation when they attend this kind of event! Gossiping behind your back like this is ruining your image!"
“Yes.” Jiang Mianmian smiled meaningfully, looking down at her wrist. “These celebrities represent my image, so does this butterfly on your wrist represent your image?”
Pei Shasha panicked and quickly pulled her hand back, staring intently at her.

Meanwhile, the Lu family had brought the police to the villa where Pei Shasha lived.
Ah Zhong stood in the courtyard, calmly extending his hands. The cold handcuffs clicked, and he suddenly felt a huge weight lifted from his heart.
"Is this the place?" the police officer asked seriously.
Ah Zhong nodded.
He led the police to the dark room where Pei Nian had been imprisoned and assisted them in collecting evidence.
"How long have you kept people here?"
Two days.
"Sir!" Another officer ran over. "Miss Lu's location is correct, this is the place! We've also figured it out, this villa belongs to the Qin family."
“That’s right.” Ah Zhong forced a smile. “She’s from the Qin family… because Sasha is also a daughter of the Qin family.”
"Sir, you're mistaken." The police officer sneered. "President Qin said that DNA report is invalid! So you two swindlers from Southeast Asia should prepare to face legal consequences!"
"What did you say?" Ah Zhong was utterly shocked!
On the very day he released Pei Nian, Huo Junyu and Jiang Mianmian appeared before him together. He agreed to tell the police everything about kidnapping Pei Nian on the condition that they release Pei Shasha and let her return to the Qin family, to be the eldest daughter of the Qin family who was rightfully hers.
But what are the police saying now?
"No...it's impossible!" Ah Zhong exclaimed emotionally. "We're not lying! Sasha really is the Qin family's daughter!"
"Sir, has someone made any deal with you?"
"Yes! It's the eldest son of the Huo family, and..."
"Oh, I remember now." The officer raised an eyebrow and scoffed lightly. "Sir, the eldest son of the Huo family and Miss Lu asked me to pass on a message to you. It's very simple, only four words..."
Ah Zhong's eyes were fixed.
The officer leaned close to his ear, his tone harsh, and said, enunciating each word clearly, "All's fair in war!"
Ah Zhong felt as if something had exploded in his ears, a loud bang that left his mind blank.
"Take the suspect away!" the officer waved. "There's still one suspect at large. We now know her exact location. Arrest her immediately!"
