Fu Yucheng nodded: "In that case, Yinyin..."
He was also afraid that Yun Tangyin would be unhappy, but even though Yun Tangyin said that, Fu Yucheng still looked at Yun Tangyin and said, "Your things..."
Yun Tangyin stood next to Fu Yucheng and winked at the old man: "I'll stand here, you can search for it yourself."
Although the old man's eyes showed some joy, he didn't dare to make a move directly with Fu Yucheng beside him.
In particular, several passersby outside the door couldn't help but stop and look.
Fu Yucheng frowned, first observing Yun Tangyin's reaction, before nodding: "Go ahead and search."
He used the word "find," not "search."
Although Yun Tangyin sounds similar, to Fu Yucheng, the difference between those two words is worlds apart.
Without saying a word, the old man walked straight to Yun Tangyin's bed and first pretended to touch the mattress.
Then he simply reached out and lifted the pillow.
He had a smug smile on his face.
But when the pillow was lifted...
It was completely empty.
The old man was stunned.
Wait a minute, he remembers putting it here.
The old man reached out and touched the pillowcase in disbelief, trying to confirm if it was inside, and even clung to the mattress to see if it was squeezed into the gap between the sheets.
Yun Tangyin watched the old man fumbling around the bed and chuckled inwardly.
Silly girl, the bracelet is in her space right now. If she can find it, she'll drink her bathwater while doing a handstand!
However, the way the old man was searching around the bed was really too obvious and suspicious.
This acting is worse than even a freshman at film school!
Yun Tangyin pinched the bridge of her nose and kindly reminded her, "Don't just search the bed. Look around and see if I've hidden the things that went missing from your house."
Only when she spoke did the old man turn around as if suddenly realizing something.
Staring at Yun Tangyin in disbelief, the old man suddenly realized something.
Could it be... that she already discovered it and hid the things beforehand?
The old man felt a little uneasy, especially after seeing Fu Yucheng's scrutinizing eyes.
what does that mean?
This means... if he really can't find the bracelet that was just placed there yesterday in Yun Tangyin's room, he's really doomed!
The old man grunted and paused in his rummaging.
Now he doesn't need to look anymore. Fu Yucheng isn't stupid. Just by watching the old man rush to the bed and flip over the pillows, he already guessed what was going on.
Fu Yucheng's face was grim: "Did you find it?"
This was a rhetorical question, but it was also meant for the servants outside the door to hear.
He had to let everyone know that Yun Tangyin was innocent.
The old man's lips trembled: "No...no..."
Yun Tangyin shrugged: "What did you just say? Since I'm not a thief, don't you have to give me an explanation? Old man?"
There was really nothing wrong with his attitude; the old man's lips were trembling, and his hands were shaking as well.
He swallowed hard, glanced at Yun Tangyin, and then at Fu Yucheng, whose face was filled with slight anger.
Fu Yucheng frowned slightly, his aura oppressive, and his first words carried a chilling force: "Why don't you confess honestly?!"
The old man's mental fortitude was truly not very good.
Upon hearing Fu Yucheng's fierce expression, he immediately slid to his knees before Yun Tangyin, pleading, "Miss Yun! I've become senile...!"
Just as the old man knelt down, Yun Tangyin stepped to the side, perfectly avoiding his sliding kneeling motion.
"Don't you dare kneel before me. We live in a new society now, we don't follow those rules anymore. Don't even think about labeling me!"
After Yun Tangyin finished speaking in a serious tone, she frowned and raised her voice: "Stand up! No kneeling!"
That voice, so righteous and awe-inspiring, brought tears to my eyes.
Fu Yucheng glanced at Yun Tangyin first, and it was hard to say what he felt, but he could tell from that one sentence how high Yun Tangyin's ideological awareness was.
Yun Tangyin returned his gaze with a reassuring look.
Only the old man's knees were half-bent, which looked a bit awkward.
Originally, he wanted to take advantage of his age and kneel down. After all, respecting the elderly and caring for the young are virtues. He didn't believe that if he knelt in front of Yun Tangyin with tears streaming down his face, people outside would say anything good about her.
However, Yun Tangyin interrupted him with such righteous indignation...
That only made him seem ridiculous.
He couldn't even squeeze out any tears. He could only hold his knees, look at Yun Tangyin, and then at Fu Yucheng. He definitely couldn't kneel anymore.
Fu Yucheng, with his hands behind his back, said, "You're an elder of the Fu family, why would you do something like this?"
That hit the nail on the head, and Yun Tangyin nodded, "What did I do to offend you?"
The old man gritted his teeth.
"I...I took money from Xu Rong..."
Upon hearing this, Yun Tangyin was taken aback for a moment.
Good heavens! Good heavens! Xu Rong's hand has actually reached this far?
Fu Yucheng's expression grew even colder: "Apologize to Yinyin first."
The old man choked up, rubbed his hands together, and bowed his head to Yun Tangyin: "Miss Yun... I... I'm... sorry..."
Yun Tangyin ignored his perfunctory apology and frowned, asking, "What's your relationship with Xu Rong? How did you meet?"
The old man glanced at Fu Yucheng's reaction and dared not act recklessly again: "I have nothing to do, so I often gamble with her mother, Wang Fengfeng... Xu Rong said that as long as I help her with something, the money will be wiped clean."
Hearing this, Yun Tangyin understood.
Although this part wasn't written in the plot, Yun Tangyin couldn't help but admire the greatness of the original author, who cleverly planted foreshadowing and hints.
To pave the way for Xu Runli, even people have been arranged in the Fu family's old mansion.
Yun Tangyin looked at the old man in front of her. For some reason, after learning that he was an old man in debt from gambling, she felt that his appearance had changed.
"You still haven't told me what you used to frame me with?"
Yun Tangyin wanted to go all out with the act, so she imitated Fu Yucheng's posture and asked with her hands behind her back.
She didn't notice the way Fu Yucheng was looking at her.
But the old man was almost in tears: "It's...it's a jade bracelet that the old lady left in the old house, meant for her future daughter-in-law."
The answer was fine, but it wasn't the answer Yun Tangyin wanted to hear.
Yun Tangyin thought for a moment, then could only continue to ask, "You're using this to frame me because you think Fu Yucheng will punish me, his future wife, because of this bracelet he left for his daughter-in-law?"
She really couldn't understand this thought process.
If I remember correctly, Yun Tangyin is now Fu Yucheng's fiancée.
She's the future daughter-in-law who should wear this jade bracelet!
Just as Yun Tangyin was trying to understand this thought process.
Fu Yucheng, standing next to him, couldn't help but smile at the words "future wife".
