Chapter 484 The Ring Drops
Mrs. Meng came out of the bathroom and, seeing no one in the living room, was about to walk into the yard when she noticed her bag placed on the small sofa next to her.
Mrs. Meng was speechless: "That brat won't even take her bag when I tell her to! She just left it lying around!"
As she spoke, Mrs. Meng picked up her bag, opened it, and prepared to put on her jewelry. However, after searching the entire bag, she couldn't find it!
There was nothing in the bag except for my phone, lipstick, and keys!
"Could it be lost?!" Mrs. Meng frantically searched the sofa, but didn't find her ring. She then went back to the bathroom, but still found nothing, not even a trace of it!
Mrs. Meng frowned and walked towards the door.
001: "Mrs. Meng has discovered that her ring is missing and has already started walking outside."
Gu Yin glanced at Meng Yujiao not far away. When Meng Yujiao saw her looking over, she raised her wine glass and smiled at Gu Yin.
Gu Yin gave a silly, innocent smile, then lowered her head and continued doing what she was doing.
Mrs. Meng went out, looked around, found her daughter's location, and went straight over.
"Jiaojiao, have you seen my ring? It's the one I just bought today. I put it in my bag in the bathroom, but I can't find it now. Did you take it?"
Meng Yujiao stood up and called out, "I didn't take it! Oh, I didn't even open your bag! Did you drop it on the road or on the sofa? Look for it again!"
Mrs. Meng was annoyed: "I've looked several times! It's not here! Honestly, you even managed to knock my ring off with that bag! It's worth tens of thousands of yuan! I just bought it today!"
Everyone then heard their voices.
The old lady stood up: "Let me go back and take another look with you. You might get dizzy looking by yourself, it's better to have someone else look!"
Mrs. Meng nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Auntie!"
Seeing this, Meng Yu followed, Yue Zemin followed, Gu Yin got up, and finally everyone followed.
They searched the bathroom for the sofa, but couldn't find it no matter how many times they looked.
Meng Ying frowned: "Are you sure you're not mistaken? Didn't you put it in your bag?"
Mrs. Meng was exasperated: "How could that be! I took it off and put it in my bag when I was washing my hands in the bathroom. Miss Zhou saw the ring on my hand, and Jiao Jiao also saw me put the ring in my bag! How could I be mistaken!"
Everyone looked at Gu Yin and Meng Yujiao, and both of them nodded.
Meng Ying looked at the old man: "Uncle, is there any CCTV footage at home?"
The old man shook his head: "There is one outside the door, but not inside."
Meng Ying looked at Meng Yujiao: "Jiaojiao, your bag has never been lost?"
Meng Yujiao shook her head.
Have you opened it and looked at it?
"No."
"You just take it here and leave it here before going out?"
Meng Yujiao nodded: "That's right. I saw that they all put their bags here, so I put my bag here too. The only people who knew that Mom had this ring and knew that Mom took the ring off were me and her. No one else knew."
After she finished speaking, she pointed to Gu Yin.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Gu Yin, except for Meng Yu and Yue Zemin, whose expressions changed.
"What do you mean? Your words are implying something about my junior sister. Do you think she took your mother's ring?"
Mrs. Meng's expression changed, and she hurriedly said, "Jiaojiao didn't mean that! You misunderstood! She must have been transferred somewhere we just can't find right now!"
Meng Yujiao scoffed, "Who knows? That's something worth tens of thousands of yuan, and it was just bought. Even if you sell it, it's still 90% new and worth a lot of money!"
Mrs. Meng immediately scolded, "Shut up! Can't you hear what I said?! I said it's gone, so it's gone!"
Meng Yujiao was stunned, aggrieved, and furious!
"I just want your ring back! You're my own mother! How can you yell at me for the sake of an outsider! You tell me not to say it, but I'll say it anyway! She stole it!"
A loud "crack!"
The room was so quiet that only Mrs. Meng's panting could be heard!
Meng Yujiao stared at Mrs. Meng in astonishment: "You hit me? You've never hit me before, not even when I was a child. You actually hit me for an outsider like this?"
Meng Ying was also surprised by his wife's unusual behavior! But no matter how strange she was, he couldn't hit their daughter!
"What's wrong with you? Why did you hit me when I was just talking to you?!"
Mrs. Meng was stunned after she finished speaking. Hearing her husband's words, she looked at Meng Yujiao and said, "You should know that words can be dangerous. You can't just say anything!"
Seeing that her mother was still defending Gu Yin even at this moment, Meng Yujiao was furious: "Want to know if she is innocent or not? It's easy, just search her!"
As she spoke, she quickly picked up Gu Yin's bag from the sofa, opened it, and began rummaging through it.
Upon seeing her action, Mrs. Meng felt dizzy and grabbed Meng Ying, shouting, "Stop her! Don't let her go through Miss Zhou's bag! Quickly!"
Meng Ying actually wanted to see Gu Yin make a fool of herself, so he just gave a perfunctory reply to his lover: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, calm down."
Mrs. Meng wanted to stop her, but it was too late. Gu Yin's bag contained only a cell phone that had fallen onto the sofa; there was nothing else inside!
Meng Yujiao's face changed drastically: "Impossible! How could there be nothing!" She then frantically rummaged through the bag, but the bag was only so big, and even if she tore it to pieces, it was still nothing!
Meng Yujiao turned to look at Gu Yin: "Where did you hide the ring?!" She wanted to search Gu Yin, but Gu Yin was wearing a skirt without pockets, so there was no way to hide it on her body!
Gu Yin neither stopped her from searching the bag nor paid attention to her questions. Instead, she looked at Meng Ying.
"Director Meng, I think you understand better than anyone here what it means that your daughter framed me without any evidence and searched my bag without a warrant or my consent."
Meng Ying frowned: "Jiaojiao is just in a bad mood. Her mother slapped her, and she acted so rudely because she was upset. I apologize to you on her behalf."
Jiaojiao's behavior constitutes a crime. With so many people present, he can't pretend nothing happened. So he can only attribute the incident to Jiaojiao losing control due to external factors.
Gu Yin twitched the corner of her mouth: "The director is indeed the director. But since Meng Yujiao said that only the two of us saw the ring, and it wasn't in my bag, could it be in Meng Yujiao's bag? Is she trying to frame me by crying 'stop thief'? Be fair. Check mine, and check hers too. Otherwise, I'll have to go to the police station to ask if Director Meng's handling of the matter is correct."
Before Meng Ying could even speak, Meng Yujiao took out her bag herself: "Go ahead and investigate! Who's afraid of who!" she said, turning the bag inside out.
A crisp "ding-a-ling" sound came from the ground.
