Chapter 238 Aunt! I've been wronged.
Zhu Shuixian ignored her, her face darkened as she stormed out of the room, pushed open the door to the second bedroom, and opened Shan Xianxian's suitcase—it was empty!
She took a deep breath. "Li-mei, I'm afraid we can't barter today. My family has been targeted."
"Oh? This is no small matter. If someone has designs on it, we'll have to report it to the enforcement team! Did you lose anything?"
Li Meizi hasn't paid yet, so the items still belong to Zhu Shuixian. Zhu Shuixian is the one who's at a loss, and she's just standing there talking without any sense of the situation.
If this is reported to the law enforcement team, it's uncertain who will be arrested!
Zhu Shuixian gave a forced smile, "Nothing's missing. It's probably not that anyone's after us. We just can't find it for a while. Li-mei, you go back first. I'll contact you another day."
"Okay." Although Li Meizi was unhappy that she had made a wasted trip, she didn't say anything, after all, Zhu Shuixian and she had a long-term working relationship.
As Li Meizi was leaving, she bumped into Shan Xianxian, who was returning. Shan Xianxian had seen Li Meizi several times before and had asked Zhu Shuixian about her, who said she was Zhu Shuixian's friend.
"Auntie, isn't this Aunt Li? Why did she leave so early?" Shan Xianxian asked softly, sounding extremely obedient.
Zhu Shuixian closed the door, sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, and patiently asked, "Where are the things?"
Shan Xianxian was completely confused by her question. "Things? Aunt, what are you talking about?"
"Slap!" Zhu Shuixian stood up and slapped Shan Xianxian across the face. "I don't have time to play these tricks on you, Shan Xianxian. Since you gave me the thing, it's mine. You should have given it to me in the first place. What kind of behavior is it to give it to me and then steal it back!"
If it weren't for Shan Xianxian giving her a jade bracelet, she would never have let this extremely poor relative who was always trying to freeload into the house!
Bah! Who knows what kind of Tom, Dick, or Harry this niece of the Shan family has been missing for hundreds of years? Even if she were Shan Jianhua's own niece, she wouldn't acknowledge her.
Shan Xianxian was originally in a good mood today, but now she feels so wronged after being slapped.
"Aunt, what are you saying? What did I steal? You have to give me a reason for hitting me, right?"
"The jade bracelet and gold bracelet you gave me, and everything in your suitcase in your room, are all gone."
Zhu Shuixian crossed her arms and answered coldly, wanting to see how long Shan Xianxian could keep up the act.
Shan Xianxian's heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly ran into the second bedroom, and then rushed out with a pale face.
"Call the police! Auntie, call the police right away! A thief broke into our house, and all my things are gone."
"Yes, a thief broke into the house, a thief from within!" Zhu Shuixian pointed fiercely at Shan Xianxian. "I'm giving you one last chance. Hand over the gold bracelet and jade bracelet that you stole from my house. That's for the money you've spent staying at my house and eating my food!"
Shan Xianxian pointed at herself, her voice trembling with tears, "Auntie, are you saying I stole the bracelet I gave you? If I wanted to steal it, I wouldn't have given it to you in the first place. Auntie is so good at framing people! I've been framed! Our family has been robbed!!"
She didn't know how to explain to Zhu Shuixian, but she was truly innocent; she hadn't stolen anything!
Zhu Shuixian sneered, "What a clever trick of playing the innocent white lotus and the green tea. I'm not a man, I won't fall for your act. Fine, you say you're not a traitor to your own family, huh? Then I'll make you die with a clear conscience!"
After saying that, Zhu Shuixian grabbed Shan Xianxian's hair and dragged her into the master bedroom.
Before Shan Xianxian could even cry, her head was forcefully pressed onto the dressing table.
"If your house was really burgled, why did they only take your suitcase and the two bracelets you gave me, while everything else was still there?"
"Shan Xianxian, are you kidding me!"
