Upon hearing Bai Qianmo's words, Madam Li looked at her son with reproach.
"Just because of that girl's nonsensical words, even Old Tang was alarmed. You'll have to explain this to Old Tang yourself later."
Li Yushu looked at Bai Qianmo with a deep gaze.
"No rush, let's wait for Old Tang to finish speaking."
Old Tang suddenly chuckled, a glint of shrewdness shining in his aged eyes.
"Good guess! Brilliant guess!"
He has seen countless treasures and even more people.
In this line of work, I've seen learned old scholars and also tomb raiders who've spent half their lives tinkering underground.
People of all kinds can be distinguished by a pair of eyes.
Just by looking into the girl's eyes, he was certain that this little girl was not as simple as she claimed.
Guess?
Heh, you're just fooling this bunch of idiots!
He won't fall for that!
Old Tang's words were clearly a compliment to Bai Qianmo.
Everyone was puzzled as to what was so praiseworthy about Bai Qianmo's simple statement that she "guessed".
Mrs. Li asked anxiously, "Mr. Tang, is this bracelet real or fake?"
Her initial 100% confidence turned into unease after Mr. Tang uttered those inexplicable words.
Old Tang held up the bracelet and shone it with a bright light.
The bracelet, which was originally as clear as glass, now has some irregular dark patterns.
"After being soaked in molten wax, the color of this bracelet gradually faded and the patterns became messy. It is obvious that it is a colored jadeite that has been injected with resin."
Mrs. Li felt a loud "boom" in her head.
I can't believe what I just heard.
The bracelet she brought was actually fake?
How is that possible?
Li Yushu was also surprised.
I bought this bracelet from a friend.
That friend is very reliable; I would never intentionally sell him a counterfeit product.
Where exactly did things go wrong?
Old Tang gave Bai Qianmo a meaningful look before continuing his explanation.
"If you said it was an old mine glass type, it would definitely be fake. But it was made from a piece of icy jadeite of fairly good quality."
That's why there's the saying, "What's false may be true, and what's true may be false."
They're all jadeite, but because of the different textures, a difference of a millimeter can lead to a world of difference!
Madam Li's face was unusually pale at that moment.
She never expected that the bracelet she gave away was actually a fake.
And Bai Qianmo guessed right.
This girl's luck is truly incredible.
Li Yushu said softly, "Now that it has been confirmed that the bracelet is fake, then it doesn't make sense that Miss Qianmo stole the bracelet."
Madam Li said coldly, "Even if the bracelet is fake, how did it end up here from Xi Ruo's room?"
Aunt Liu hurriedly responded, "Sir, Madam, I suddenly remembered something, but I don't know if I should say it."
Bai Kangyan waved his hand: "Go ahead and speak."
"Before lunch, I went upstairs to call Miss Qianmo for lunch. I happened to see Miss Qianmo stuffing something under her pillow. Now that I think about it, could it be this bracelet that she was hiding?"
Bai Kangyan's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he stared at Liu Ma with a somber expression.
"Aunt Liu, did you really see Qianmo hiding something?"
Liu Ma nervously clutched the hem of her clothes, her eyes quickly scanning in a certain direction.
He then nodded heavily: "I did see Miss Qianmo hiding something, but I didn't see clearly what it was."
Han Songyan rubbed her forehead in frustration and said in a gloomy voice, "Bai Qianmo, we have all the witnesses and evidence. How long do you intend to keep this up? Are you determined to get yourself into jail before you're satisfied?"
Bai Qianmo slightly raised her eyelids and looked straight at Liu Ma.
Those eyes were as clear and bright as a mirror.
When Liu Ma met Bai Qianmo's deep gaze, her heart skipped a beat.
After regaining her composure, she spoke with righteous indignation.
“Miss Qianmo, you should live with your conscience. What you did was really too much. Miss Xiruo was so good to you. How can you do this to her?”
"Making mistakes is not terrible. As long as you take the initiative to admit your mistakes, your husband and wife will definitely forgive you."
Bai Xiruo said softly, "Sister Qianmo, I won't blame you for stealing the bracelet. We're all family here now. As long as you apologize to Aunt Li and Mom and Dad, I can pretend this never happened."
Bai Kangyan gave Bai Xiruo an appreciative look, then turned his gaze to Bai Qianmo.
He let out a heavy sigh, looking utterly helpless.
"Qianmo, stop being stubborn. As long as you admit your mistake, we won't blame you."
Upon hearing Bai Kangyan's words, Bai Qianmo inexplicably laughed.
The smile was faint, carrying a hint of coldness.
"So, you're convinced I stole it?"
Bai Kangyan moved his lips, but remained silent for a long time.
Bai Qianmo's eyes flickered, and a glimmer of starlight gradually dimmed.
Until the light went out, his eyes turned a deathly black.
He let out a soft chuckle.
"I see!"
She straightened up, walked to her desk, and quickly clicked a few times on her computer.
Then, the computer turned on, and a video appeared on the screen.
In the video, Bai Qianmo is sitting on the edge of the bed, holding her phone and seemingly chatting with someone.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door.
Then came Liu Ma's voice.
"Miss Qianmo, Mr. Bai is back. Please come downstairs for a meal."
Bai Qianmo put her phone aside, got up, and left the room.
A moment later
A soft creaking sound came from the room.
