Han Songyan suppressed her inner turmoil and gave an awkward laugh.
“Qianmo is, after all, a relative of the old man. If we send her to a place like that, it will be difficult to explain to the old man when he comes back.”
After saying that, she angrily scolded Bai Qianmo: "Hurry up and apologize to your Aunt Li, and promise that you will never steal anything again from now on!"
Seeing Bai Qianmo leaning against the corner without moving, Han Songyan impatiently shouted, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go!"
Bai Qianmo glanced at Han Songyan indifferently: "Mrs. Bai, have you forgotten what I said so quickly?"
Raising an eyebrow slightly, she added, "What business is it of yours how I conduct myself?"
Han Songyan's face stiffened, then turned as red as fire.
He was so angry that he was trembling all over.
That brat, she's arguing with me even when things are really urgent.
I'd be satisfied if I could drive her to her death!
Seeing that her parents had started pleading for Bai Qianmo.
Even though she was unwilling, Bai Xiruo understood that she had to stand up and say something at this moment.
“Aunt Li, Sister Qianmo might really like this bracelet. If you agree, I’d like to give it to her, and then we can leave it at that.”
Madam Li lowered her brows and her expression darkened slightly.
"Xi Ruo, you must remember that you are the eldest daughter of the Bai family. You can't let an outsider take your place."
Madam Li always felt that Bai Xiruo was excellent in every way, but her personality was too weak.
Such people, though kind, are also easily bullied.
He couldn't help but worry. The Li family wasn't easy to enter, and if this girl didn't change her personality, she might not be suitable for Yu Shu.
In contrast to Bai Xiruo, Bai Qianmo exuded an aura of hostility.
Especially her face; her beauty is so striking it's almost demonic, and she must be incredibly scheming.
How could Xi Ruo possibly outmaneuver her?
Upon hearing the phrase "usurping someone else's place," Han Yaxin shrugged.
She pursed her lips and bit her teeth, afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold back her laughter.
A blush crept across Bai Xiruo's delicate face as she nervously rubbed her hands together.
Bai Kangyan's face immediately twisted, he opened his mouth, but could only let out a long sigh.
His own daughter was humiliated by outsiders, but he couldn't say a word.
This feeling is so humiliating!
Han Songyan's expression was also not good, and she lowered her head awkwardly.
Bai Xiruo bit her lip lightly, her face showing a submissive and humble expression.
"Aunt Li, I am willing to give this bracelet to Sister Qianmo."
Bai Qianmo glanced at Bai Xiruo sideways. As expected of a top student from B Film Academy, her acting was very realistic.
He gave a light scoff.
"Sorry, I really don't care!"
Madam Li's face immediately darkened, and she glared angrily at Bai Qianmo.
"Fine, since you don't appreciate Xi Ruo's kindness, let's handle everything officially."
"Wait a minute!"
Standing beside Madam Li, Li Yushu spoke softly at this moment.
He glanced quickly at Bai Qianmo with his deep eyes, then looked down at Madam Li.
"Since Miss Qianmo says this bracelet is fake, it's best not to call the police until we find out the truth!"
Madam Li stared at Li Yushu in disbelief.
"You actually believe what she said?"
Under the dignified gaze of his mother, Li Yushu blinked slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"Existence is its own justification!"
Madam Li raised an eyebrow and stared at her son meaningfully for a while.
This kid is acting strangely; he seems to be paying extra attention to Bai Qianmo.
A bad feeling flashed through my mind.
Madam Li frowned slightly and glanced thoughtfully at Bai Qianmo.
Why would Yu Shu be interested in someone like that? Besides her face, what else does she have?
I heard he comes from a rural background. Yu Shu should never even think about dating someone like that!
After some mental calculation, Madam Li's face showed little change in emotion.
He chuckled and feigned magnanimity, saying, "Well said, 'Existence is its own justification.' Then let's invite Elder Tang to come."
Li Yushu nodded: "Okay, I'll contact Elder Tang right away!"
Upon hearing that they were going to invite Elder Tang, Bai Kangyan's expression darkened even more.
Although he didn't know much about the jade industry, he had heard of Old Tang's reputation.
A prestigious name in Panjiayuan, a leading figure in the jade industry.
If Old Tang comes, wouldn't Qianmo's lie be...?
Sigh, this girl is just too stubborn.
Half an hour later
Li Yushu received a phone call and personally went out to greet him.
A moment later, an elderly man dressed in a worn-out gray-blue shirt followed Li Yushu into the house.
The old man was thin and hunched over, with his hands behind his back and his neck tilted forward, exuding the air of a commoner.
It's hard to imagine that this is the same person as the renowned "Grand Master of Beishan".
The old man wore round-framed glasses, the black rims obscuring his slightly upturned, triangular eyes.
He had a goatee, which he would occasionally reach out and stroke.
Bai Qianmo looked at the old man, and a turtle involuntarily popped into her mind.
It really does look...like.
The old man's bright brown eyes quickly scanned everyone present.
Where is the stuff?
Bai Kangyan could only hand over the bracelet he was holding.
The old man sat at the table, took out a handkerchief, and carefully took out the bracelet.
After examining it for a while, he took out the magnifying glass he always carried with him.
After studying it for a while longer, he couldn't help but frown.
He opened the toolbox he carried with him, took out a bronze alcohol stove, and placed a container about the size of a bowl on it.
