Qin Qianyi’s gaze scanned Shao Xinxin from head to toe, then he asked, "Why did you come downstairs empty-handed? Shao Xinxin, if I remember correctly, you didn’t leave our house empty-handed, did you?"
Shao Xinxin looked at him puzzledly, innocently blinking her eyes.
"Brother Qianyi, I don’t understand what you’re saying."
"If only I had brought the big white goose with me, so it could communicate with you," muttered Qin Qianyi.
"So, Shao Xinxin, it turns out you don’t understand human language."
His muttering was intentionally loud enough for the Shao family to hear.
Shao Yongkang, Shen Shuwen, and Shao Xinxin froze simultaneously, their expressions mirroring each other.
Suppressing his anger, Shao Yongkang looked at Qin Haochen and said, "President Qin, your son is being extremely rude!"
Shen Shuwen chimed in, "Yes, how dare he insult our Xinxin?"
Shao Xinxin looked as if she had been greatly wronged, pouting her lips lightly.
Ignoring their complaints, Qin Haochen coldly glanced at Shao Xinxin and said, "Where is our Ann’s little apple? I watched the surveillance footage. You pushed Ann down, took the opportunity to break the necklace on her neck, and stole the little apple."
"Uncle Qin, I didn’t!" Shao Xinxin immediately shook her head in denial.
"I didn’t push Sister Ann, nor did I steal her little apple!"
Shen Shuwen gently embraced her daughter Xinxin and retorted, "President Qin, if we’re talking about pushing someone, it seems to be your daughter deliberately pushing our Xinxin.
Just look at Xinxin’s hands, they’re injured like this!"
Qin Sui’an furrowed his little brows and solemnly shook his head.
"Auntie, Ann didn’t push Sister Xinxin."
"You say you didn’t, so you didn’t?" Shen Shuwen sneered.
"Could it be that Xinxin fell by herself? Injuring herself so severely?"
The young master of the Bai Corporation had been beaten into a vegetative state by this wild young lady from the Qin family.
He was nothing more than a habitual offender.
Qin Haochen twisted his brows tightly and coldly fixed his gaze on Shen Shuwen.
"Do you have any evidence?"
Shen Shuwen felt a chill down her spine and a surge of fear.
She dared not meet Qin Haochen’s eyes and stubbornly said, "What evidence can I have? If the surveillance footage could be obtained, I suspect it was deleted because you wanted to protect her."
Qin Qianyi chuckled, the smile not reaching his eyes.
"Ha, no evidence, just baseless accusations. I have to ask my Third Brother what crime this behavior constitutes."
Shao Yongkang hurriedly held Shen Shuwen’s shoulder, urging her to calm down.
Then he looked at Qin Qianyi and said, "Shuwen didn’t mean anything else. She was just angry and said some provocative words. Please don’t misunderstand."
Qin Qianyi coldly snorted, ignoring his words, and took out his phone to tap on it.
His actions were open and aboveboard, observed by Shao Yongkang and Shen Shuwen, but they dared not speak out and provoke him further.
If they really provoked the third master of the Qin family, the situation would only escalate.
Moreover, judging from the attitude of the Qin family, it seemed that the Shao family was not in the right.
Shao Xinxin tightly held her mother’s hand, seemingly frightened by the Qin family, leaning against her mother in fear.
Qin Haochen didn’t want to waste time on this meaningless argument.
He glanced at Shao Xinxin with a stern expression and spoke again, cold and firm, "Where is Ann’s little apple? Show it."
"Uncle Qin, I really didn’t take Ann’s little apple!"
Shao Xinxin refused to admit it, her eyes welling up with tears.
Qin Fujia looked at Shao Xinxin as if he saw through her little trick and said indifferently, "We didn’t pay close attention to the surveillance footage this afternoon, but we just reviewed it. We found that Shao Xinxin reached into her pocket and hid the little apple there, secretly taking it away."
Upon hearing Qin Fujia’s words, Shao Xinxin’s expression became flustered for a moment.
No, it’s impossible. The surveillance was so far away, how could it capture that?
Shao Yongkang immediately looked at his daughter Xinxin and asked, "Xinxin, did you take it?"
"No, I didn’t, Daddy. I didn’t take it," Shao Xinxin refused to believe that the surveillance could capture it, persisting in her denial.
Shen Shuwen felt that the Qin family was too overbearing.
It was just a little apple. If they wanted it, she would have someone pack a large box of fresh apples and deliver them to Bay Villa right now!
Qin Qianyi couldn’t help but laugh, "Mrs. Shao, forget about a whole box, I’m afraid you can’t afford Ann’s little apple."
Shao Xinxin quietly tugged at her mother’s sleeve and whispered, "Mommy, Ann’s little apple is a diamond..."
"A diamond apple?" Shen Shuwen’s eyelids suddenly twitched. So it’s a diamond! No wonder...
Wait, diamonds are only worth tens or hundreds of thousands.
Why is the Qin family making such a fuss?
She herself has quite a few diamond necklaces and diamond rings!
With this in mind, Shen Shuwen casually touched the diamond ring on her hand, "So it’s a diamond apple."
Who doesn’t have a few diamond accessories?
Qin Qianyi glanced at the diamond ring on her hand and sneered, his disdain undisguised, "Mrs. Shao, the diamond apple of our Ann was a gift from our grandparents. We can’t afford to lose it."
"Old Sir and Madam gave it to Ann?" Shen Shuwen’s eyelids twitched again.
The two elders of the Qin family were known for their extravagance.
After retiring, their biggest hobby was attending various charity auctions and acquiring valuable items.
Suddenly, Shao Yongkang remembered something.
Old Sir and Madam had once spent 20 million dollars, equivalent to 140 million RMB, to acquire a red diamond at an auction. Red diamond, little apple...
Could it be that the little apple mentioned by the Qin family is this 140 million RMB red diamond?
Realizing the significant amount involved, Shao Yongkang’s expression became serious, "Xinxin, are you really not in possession of Ann’s little apple?"
"Daddy, I said I don’t have it!"
Shao Xinxin raised her head to look at her daddy, her eyes filled with tears, and she said loudly with a sense of grievance, "If Daddy doesn’t believe me, you can send someone to search my room! See if there’s Ann’s little apple!"
Seeing his daughter feeling wronged, Shao Yongkang quickly hugged her, "Xinxin, Daddy indeed believes you."
Qin Qianyi stood up, "That’s right, it should have been said earlier.
Where is Shao Xinxin’s room? I’ll go and search!"
Shen Shuwen was taken aback, then immediately objected, "Our Xinxin is a girl! How can you just casually enter a girl’s room and search?"
