That evening, Liu Xiaoyuan followed Lu Siyao to their home.
During dinner, Lu Siyao's mother asked, "Xiaoyuan, how much did you spend on those bracelets you bought for Siyao?"
Liu Xiaoyuan took a bite of the food and said, "Auntie, it didn't cost much."
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't know exactly how much the bracelets were worth, but in his mind, he estimated they were worth no less than five million.
However, if he told the truth, Lu Siyao's family would definitely ask him where he got so much money to buy the bracelets.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Liu Xiaoyuan simply decided to lie, which was a white lie after all.
However, what Liu Xiaoyuan didn't expect was that Lu Siyao's family had already roughly guessed the value of the bracelets.
Now that Liu Xiaoyuan has lied, Lu Siyao's family immediately suspects that the money he used to buy the bracelet came from an illegitimate source.
In their view, if the money was given by Lin Xin, they could just say so; it wasn't something shameful.
"Xiao Yuan, are these bracelets really not worth much?" Lu Siyao asked Liu Xiaoyuan.
Lu Siyao asked again because she wanted Liu Xiaoyuan to tell the truth, and she hoped that the money Liu Xiaoyuan used to buy the bracelet was from a legitimate source and not obtained through illegal means.
Liu Xiaoyuan thought Lu Siyao was asking this to confirm with him again, so he smiled and said, "Really, these bracelets aren't worth much."
As soon as he said this, Liu Xiaoyuan noticed that Lu Siyao's family's expressions changed. It was as if he were a bad guy, and their expressions became somewhat wary.
Lu Siyao, in particular, had a hint of anger in her eyes.
Liu Xiaoyuan was completely baffled. What was going on? Was this dinner invitation from Lu Siyao's family a trap?
"Uncle and Aunt, what's wrong with you?" Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't help but ask.
Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't understand why she suddenly changed her expression when everything was fine just now. She hadn't done anything wrong or said anything wrong.
Is it because I said the bracelets weren't worth much that Lu Siyao's family got angry, thinking that I didn't care about Lu Siyao and that even when I gave her a gift, it was something worthless?
Yes, that's definitely true. Everyone wants their daughter to be valued by the man.
Often, people like to judge a man's affection for a woman by the value of the gift he gives her.
If you give your woman a dress that costs a few hundred yuan, people will just say you're nice. But if you give your woman a car worth millions or a house worth millions, people will definitely say that you truly love your woman and are a role model for every man.
"Liu Xiaoyuan, you're going to the police station right now!" Lu Siyao immediately stood up and grabbed Liu Xiaoyuan's arm.
Liu Xiaoyuan was even more confused. All he said was that the bracelets weren't worth much money and there was no need to go to the police station.
"Siyao, what are you doing at the police station?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked, puzzled.
Lu Siyao said angrily, "Don't you know what you've done?"
Lu Siyao was furious when she thought that Liu Xiaoyuan's money was illegally obtained.
Lu Siyao's father stood up and said, "Siyao, let's find out more about this before we talk about it. What are we going to the police station for?"
"Dad, there's no need to ask anymore. He just admitted it himself," Lu Siyao said angrily.
Hearing Lu Siyao's family's conversation, Liu Xiaoyuan was even more confused. What was going on? Could someone please tell me?
When did he admit it? And what did he admit it to? Liu Xiaoyuan was completely confused.
"Siyao, what's going on? I'm completely confused." Liu Xiaoyuan looked at Lu Siyao with a bewildered expression.
"How dare you ask? You know what you've done. I, Lu Siyao, was blind to fall for a bastard like you!" Lu Siyao became more and more angry as she spoke.
Lu Siyao was both angry and helpless when she thought about the criminal things the man she liked had done, and she didn't know what to do.
"How am I a jerk? Did I give you a pair of bracelets and that was a mistake?" Liu Xiaoyuan looked at Lu Siyao, not understanding what he had done wrong.
Everything was fine at noon today. Lu Siyao even happily kissed me. How come I turned into a jerk at night and wanted to take me to the police station? What did I do wrong?
"Sihan, what did I do wrong?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked again, not understanding what he had done wrong.
When Lu Siyao saw Liu Xiaoyuan asking, she glared at him with fury and said, "You still ask? I'm asking you, where did you get the money to buy the bracelet?"
Huh? Liu Xiaoyuan was completely confused by Lu Siyao's words. Just now she was saying that he was a bastard and that she was going to take him to the police station, but in the blink of an eye she was asking him where he got the money to buy the bracelet.
This woman's thinking really changes too quickly; I can't keep up.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Siyao, of course I earned this money myself, so what?"
"How did you earn it? Stop lying to me, you still won't tell the truth, will you?" Lu Siyao asked angrily.
Liu Xiaoyuan was startled, wondering if Lu Siyao knew that he got the bracelets from the Zuo family's treasure.
That's not right. Everyone who knew about this has already gone to meet the King of Hell. There's no way Lu Siyao could know.
But if she didn't know about this, why would she ask such a question? Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't understand why Lu Siyao asked that question.
"Siyao, I'm telling the truth. What do you want us to say? Do you want me to lie?" Liu Xiaoyuan said helplessly.
Liu Xiaoyuan cannot reveal the Zuo family's treasure, because the fewer people who know about it, the better.
“Xiao Yuan, just tell the truth. It’s not terrible for young people to make mistakes; what’s terrible is not having the courage to admit them,” Lu Siyao’s father said.
Damn it, what's wrong with Lu Siyao's family today? Why are they saying things I can't understand?
"Uncle, I didn't do anything wrong, how can you expect me to admit it?" Liu Xiaoyuan said, looking at Lu Siyao's father.
"Liu Xiaoyuan, are you still not going to tell the truth?" Lu Siyao said angrily, as if she was about to hit him.
Seeing Lu Siyao's angry expression, Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Siyao, didn't I already tell you? I was just telling the truth. What else do you want me to say?"
"Since you won't tell, then come with me to the police station!" Lu Siyao pulled Liu Xiaoyuan and headed out to the police station.
Before figuring out the truth of the matter, Liu Xiaoyuan certainly wouldn't go to the police station with Lu Siyao.
"What exactly happened? Explain yourself clearly!" Liu Xiaoyuan stood still, refusing to leave. No matter how strong Lu Siyao was, she couldn't pull Liu Xiaoyuan away.
