Xiao Yinlan looked at Xu Wan calmly: "Why should I give her my valuable jewelry? What she lacks is money. I can give her money. There is no need to give her things that cannot be directly converted into cash."
Only Xiao Yinlan herself knew the full story at the time.
Although she and An Zheng had been appearing in public as husband and wife for a long time, they had not actually registered their marriage.
An Yunya was a daughter. An Zheng wanted her to have a son before getting married, but not long after, An Yunya was diagnosed with leukemia. Xiao Yinlan took care of her, and An Zheng saw it all.
Later, when An Yunya was in high school, the two finally got their marriage certificate.
When Xu Pingrong worked as a nanny at the An family home, Xiao Yinlan was not Mrs. An at all.
At the time, An was wary of Xiao Yinlan and only gave her a credit card, often giving her jewelry to cheer her up.
At that time, Xiao Yinlan appeared successful on the surface, but she didn't have much money in her pocket.
But she still had a conscience at that time. Since she couldn't give Xu Pingrong money, she gave her some jewelry so that she could sell it later.
Xu Wan was completely unaware of these matters and couldn't find a reason to retort. All she could say was, "Then produce the evidence!"
“Your mother said herself at the time, what other evidence do you need?” Xiao Yinlan paused and continued, “I consulted a lawyer, and the statute of limitations for this kind of major theft is twenty years. There are still two years left before the statute of limitations expires.”
"Xiao Yinlan! Do you people from the An family have no heart?! When I was so young, you drew my blood, causing me to go into shock, and then gave my mother jewelry. Now you're saying that she stole that jewelry. Did your An family plan this all along?"
After Xu Wan became an adult, she rarely lost control of her emotions.
But this matter concerns her mother, and she finds it difficult to control her emotions.
"You think we can foresee the future and know that you, Meng Wan, will marry Jiang Tingzhou more than ten years from now?"
Xiao Yinlan was amused by Xu Wan's words.
"Then find the evidence. Without evidence, words are meaningless."
Xu Wan tried to calm herself down, not wanting to be led by the nose by Xiao Yinlan.
“Of course we will try our best to find evidence, but so many years have passed, and it’s not easy to find evidence. However…” Xiao Yinlan looked at Xu Wan with a calculating look, “With such a large amount of money, no matter what the final verdict is, Xu Pingrong will have to spend some time in the detention center first.”
Xu Wan's eyes stung with tears.
She finally understood what An Jia's final calculation was.
It's about her love and indebtedness to Xu Pingrong.
Xu Pingrong served more than ten years in prison and was only released two days ago. Now he may have to go back because of this incident.
“No, my mother can’t go back to prison.”
Xu Wan resolutely refused.
"You're the one who decides this?"
"How about we return ten times the price of the jewelry to you?"
Xu Wan spoke, her tone revealing an undisguised pleading emotion.
She knew that refusing to do so would be useless; once the case was officially filed, her mother would indeed need to be detained.
"Do you think the An family is short of money?" Xiao Yinlan leaned forward, looking at Xu Wan. "Don't you know what the An family wants?"
"I have no idea."
Xu Wan pretended to be stupid.
Xiao Yinlan picked up her coffee and took a sip. "You must know about the little thing that happened to our An family recently. I think you're a nice kid, so I'll just tell you directly..."
I disagree.
Xu Wanxian refused without Xiao Yinlan even having to say anything.
She knew what Xiao Yinlan was going to say.
She can't do it.
Xiao Yinlan completely ignored her words and continued, "I want you to divorce Jiang Tingzhou, and then have Jiang Tingzhou announce his marriage to An Yunya. I'll give you a little more time, ten days. I'll go to court to file the case tomorrow. If you can do it within ten days, we'll withdraw the lawsuit; otherwise... Xu Pingrong will have to go back to her familiar place."
“Even if I divorce Jiang Tingzhou, he will never marry An Yunya,” Xu Wan said firmly.
"You just need to divorce Jiang Tingzhou, and you don't need to worry about anything else," Xiao Yinlan said with a confident smile.
Xu Wan stood up from the single sofa. "I don't agree. Don't even think about it!"
Xiao Yinlan looked at Xu Wan and smiled calmly, "Of course you can disagree, it's okay. It's just that Mother goes to jail again. This time it might be another ten years."
Xu Wan's eyes were already brimming with tears. In order not to let Xiao Yinlan see her disheveled appearance, she grabbed her bag and rushed out of the coffee shop!
