Chapter 9 Get My Things Back
Shi Wang could question anything, but he could not question Jiang Wanning's love for him.
That was the most sincere and unreserved thing she had said in three years.
But at this moment, when their eyes met, Shi Wang just said indifferently: "If you have anything to say, let's go back to the house and talk."
"Standing here, I'll be laughed at by others."
After saying that, he walked straight past Jiang Wanning, opened the door and returned to the apartment.
Xu Moli and Qin Huifang followed closely behind.
Jiang Wanning was left standing there, looking like the outsider who didn't fit in.
After a while, she lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly.
Forget it, it doesn’t matter.
I'm leaving soon anyway.
Right now, she just wanted to get her grandmother's jade bracelet back as soon as possible.
But after Jiang Wanning walked into the house and looked around, she did not find the mahogany box she was looking for.
"Shi Wang, when you and Senior were moving things out of my room today, did you see a red box?"
"It's about this size, and it contains a Hetian jade bracelet..."
Jiang Wanning was at a loss and could only ask the two people who might have touched her things today.
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to roughly measure the size of the mahogany box, but at this moment, she caught a glimpse of Qin Huifang, who was obviously in a bad mood.
The middle-aged woman's fat face showed a hint of guilt after hearing Jiang Wanning's question.
She stepped back calmly, covering her left hand with her sleeve.
There was a fleeting white light there, which at first glance looked almost exactly like the jade bracelet she had lost.
Jiang Wanning's heart immediately skipped a beat.
Because she knew clearly that Qin Huifang was not only mean and difficult to get along with, but also liked to take advantage of others.
Previously, in order to pursue Shi Wang and gain some favor with the latter, Jiang Wanning often used her previous savings to please Qin Huifang.
Qin Huifang seemed embarrassed, but in fact she accepted everything.
Until Jiang Wanning's funding chain was frozen by her father and he was no longer able to buy her anything good.
The woman would always come to Shenzhen with various excuses, and would enter and exit their residence as freely as a swarm of locusts. Every time she left, she would take away some valuable items from Jiang Wanning.
But he was completely unaware of all of this.
Jiang Wanning has been enduring until now based on the principle that less trouble is worse than more.
After all, those things were just external possessions to her, and she just considered it as a way to make her elders happy when they were taken away.
But today is different. Regardless of the value of that jade bracelet, it has an irreplaceable position in Jiang Wanning's heart, and it is something she must get back no matter what.
At this point, Jiang Wanning couldn't help but pursed her lips: "Auntie, you also came to the apartment this afternoon, did you see it?"
"That jade bracelet was given to me by my grandmother. It has a special meaning to me. If you like it, I can give you another one someday."
Jiang Wanning believed that what she said was flawless.
If the thing was really taken by Qin Huifang, she not only saved the other party's face but also gave him enough room to step aside.
If not, the other party can just treat this as a normal inquiry, or as the younger generation's concern for the elder.
But what Jiang Wanning didn't expect was that Qin Huifang's expression suddenly changed after hearing what she said: "Hey! Ningning, what do you mean by saying this? Do you suspect that I took the things?"
"Even if I didn't take anything from you, even if I did, you've been following my son around Shenzhen for so many years, causing him so much trouble. Isn't it only natural for you to give me a bracelet as a gift?"
Qin Huifang looked fierce but was actually timid. As she spoke, she actually hid her hand wearing the bracelet a little further back.
"That's not what I meant, Auntie. I just lost something and was worried."
"If you're in a hurry, go call the police. Why are you bothering an old lady like me?"
"Call the police and have them search this house to find out who took your precious things!"
"It would save some people from talking about it all the time, making them suspect that the people who broke into the house were thieves!"
As Qin Huifang roared her last cry, the tense feeling in Jiang Wanning's heart completely collapsed.
She looked at the hideous woman in front of her in disbelief. She really couldn't accept that the person she had treated with such kindness and compassion would end up looking at her like this.
But what made Jiang Wanning even more sad was Shi Wang, who remained silent in the face of all this.
It seems that she is the aggressive and unforgivable evil person.
After a long while, Jiang Wanning finally heard her own extremely calm voice: "Okay, since you said so, let's call the police."
Now it was Qin Huifang's turn to get anxious.
She started out being unreasonable and unreasonable, just wanting to occupy the moral high ground so that Jiang Wanning would give up.
However, she never expected that Jiang Wanning, who usually had the final say in front of her and was as easy to control as a rabbit, would be so tough today.
Just when the situation was about to get out of control, Xu Moli stepped forward as if she suddenly remembered something.
"Aiya, look at my memory. You and Sister Wan Ning must have misunderstood each other."
"I also have a Hetian jade bracelet. When I saw Auntie this afternoon, I thought it was particularly suitable for her temperament, so I put it in a mahogany box and gave it to her."
"Auntie, don't be nervous. This thing is mine. I'm upright. Please take it out and show it to Sister Wan Ning."
Qin Huifang then reluctantly stretched out the hand that she had hidden at the beginning.
There was indeed a white Hetian jade bracelet on that wrist, the quality and pattern of which were completely different from Jiang Wanning's.
But if you don't compare it carefully under the light, it's hard to see the clues.
how so?
Jiang Wanning was struck by lightning, and at the same time, Xu Moli's voice of explanation rang in her ears.
"Alas, Sister Wan Ning left in a hurry tonight without saying anything, so I helped pack her things."
"When I found the mahogany box, there was nothing inside. I thought it was a useless object, but it would look really nice with jade ornaments, so I decided to give it to Auntie by filling it with my own things. I never thought my good intentions would backfire and cause such a big misunderstanding."
"This is impossible..."
Jiang Wanning checks it every day, so there is no way the box is empty.
But when she wanted to say something else, Shi Wang, who had been silent the entire night, interrupted her coldly: "That's enough, Jiang Wanning, how long are you going to make trouble for?"
"Are you going to turn your whole family upside down just for a bracelet?"
"I remember you weren't like this before."
As the man spoke, he rubbed his brows with a headache: "My mother is an elder after all. You misunderstood her so much today, don't you even have a word of apology?"
