Chapter 39 I took the wrong package
It was the first time that Chu Han saw Meng Yuxin like this.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Chu Han asked.
Meng Yuxin was silent for a long time. "Xiao Han, actually, I...I accidentally got the wrong set of badges for the one my cousin ordered."
"What did you say?" Chu Han was very surprised.
"I'm sorry, Xiaohan, I didn't know it was such a coincidence. She also bought a box of badges. Later I realized I made a mistake, but seeing you so happy and liking that set of badges so much, I didn't know how to explain this to you..." Meng Yuxin apologized guiltily.
"Is this box of badges Chu Ci's?" Chu Han looked surprised.
"Yes... I'm sorry, I just realized I made a mistake..."
"No, why did Chu Ci..."
Chu Han was a little confused, with many scenes flashing through his mind.
Chu Ci also said that the set of badges belonged to her, and it was Meng Yuxin who took her badges.
So, what Chu Ci said is true?
Did he blame Chu Ci wrongly?
Looking at Meng Yuxin in front of him, Chu Han began to doubt for the first time.
Before he told sister Yuxin that Yi Xuecheng's badge was stolen, sister Yuxin didn't say a word about having picked up the wrong package.
She didn't say anything until he said it.
"Why... didn't you say it before?"
"I'm sorry, Xiaohan. I just realized that I picked up the wrong package and switched it with Chuci's. I didn't know how to tell you after I found out..."
Chu Han looked at Meng Yuxin, struggling over whether to believe her.
Intellectually, he felt that Meng Yuxin's explanation was a bit far-fetched, but emotionally, he didn't want to doubt the sister he grew up with.
After thinking for a long time, the emotions accumulated over the years overcame reason.
"Okay, that means the badge actually belongs to Chu Ci. But..." Chu Han was confused again, "But Yi Xuecheng said the badge was stolen, then... then Chu Ci..."
The guilt that Chu Han had just felt for wrongly blaming Chu Ci was overwhelmed by new worries.
Meng Yuxin pursed her lips and said nothing.
Chu Han had a bad feeling.
They had told him before that children who grew up in slums were much more likely to commit petty theft when they grew up.
Could it be that Chu Ci has picked up such a bad habit?
"I'm sorry, Xiaohan. I should have realized earlier that I received the wrong package." Meng Yuxin apologized.
"I'm going to find Chu Ci."
Chu Han went out in a hurry.
He and Chu Ci had only met at the event, and after that he only saw her get into an unfamiliar car and leave.
At that time, Chu Han was thinking about finding Meng Yuxin to ask clearly, so he didn't care where Chu Ci went.
Meng Yuxin looked at Chu Han's back as he hurried away, seeming to be thinking about something.
Chu Han asked the driver to take him to school, but Chu Ci did not return to school.
Apart from school, Chu Han didn't know where Chu Ci would go.
So I had to go back home and wait.
I waited until nine o'clock in the evening before Chu Ci came back.
As soon as Chu Ci entered the room, he saw Chu Han and Meng Yuxin sitting on the sofa in the living room.
When Chu Han saw Chu Ci, he couldn't wait to ask her, "Chu Ci, did you steal the badge from Yi Xuecheng?"
Chu Ci narrowed his eyes, glanced at Chu Han, and then glanced at Meng Yuxin who was sitting on the sofa next to them.
Chu Ci asked, "If I stole it, why did it end up in your hands?"
"Sister Yuxin said that she picked up the wrong package. She bought a set of badges that were exactly the same as yours, but she picked up the wrong set. It should be the set you got in the end." Chu Han helped Meng Yuxin explain.
As a brother and sister who grew up together, Chu Han's trust in Meng Yuxin is incomparable to Chu Ci's.
"Stealing."
"I'm sorry, I should have looked more carefully at that time." Meng Yuxin apologized.
Chu Ci glanced at Meng Yuxin indifferently: "Can you let go of the matter with just a simple apology? Before it became involved in the criminal case, the things were yours, and after it became mine. Meng Yuxin, you are quite good at this."
Meng Yuxin, who was mercilessly ridiculed by Chu Ci, turned as pale as paper.
Chu Ci turned around and was about to leave, but Chu Han quickly stopped her: "It was Sister Yu Xin's fault that she took the wrong package from you, but how did you get this set of badges? You'd better explain clearly. If you were cheated when you bought it, that's fine, but if it's... then you should go to the police station with me and surrender yourself."
"Why don't you take Meng Yuxin with you to surrender?" Chu Ci asked.
"This is different. Sister Yu Xin didn't do it on purpose. But on your side, Yi Xuecheng has already said it publicly and even filed a police report."
Although Meng Yuxin took the wrong thing, it belonged to Chu Ci. As long as Chu Ci did not report it, Meng Yuxin would not have committed theft.
