Chapter 44 The Chu family won’t do this, but it’s hard to say for some people
Downstairs, two young policemen in uniform were waiting in the living room.
One of them explained his purpose to Meng Qingyan:
"Hello, Mrs. Chu, we are here to arrest the suspect who stole a limited edition commemorative badge worth more than 200,000 yuan."
Meng Qingyan said, "Could the two police officers have made a mistake? There shouldn't be anyone like that in my family. People in my Chu family should be able to afford something worth more than 200,000 yuan."
Any bag or necklace of Meng Qingyan costs more than 200,000 yuan.
Even if it was her third brother Chu Muping and his children who had ulterior motives, Meng Qingyan didn't think they would do such a thing.
The young police officer explained, "Madam, you may not know that 200,000 is just the market estimate. In fact, the badges that were stolen belonged to star player Yi Xuecheng. They are priceless and one-of-a-kind. Many crazy fans are willing to pay ten times or even more than the market price to buy them."
Although Meng Qingyan herself is not a fan of celebrities, she also knows that some celebrity items will be sold at sky-high prices in the market.
"Even if that's the case, people in my Chu family don't need to rely on stealing to get it." Meng Qingyan replied with a smile, generous and polite.
At this time, Chu Muping, the third son of the Chu family, came over.
Chu Muping and his wife have moved back to the Chu family villa in order to make their presence felt in front of Mr. Chu so that he will take more care of them when making his will.
Knowing that the police were coming to his door, Chu Muping came downstairs to watch the fun.
Chu Muping smiled and said to Meng Qingyan, "Second sister-in-law, you don't understand. We Chu family members really wouldn't do such a thing, but some of them have only recently returned to the Chu family. They've been living in that mixed environment, living in poverty, and they're likely to do anything."
This is talking about Chu Ci.
It's no secret that the Chu brothers are not on good terms.
Now that the old man is seriously ill, the conflict between the two brothers Chu Yuheng and Chu Muping has further intensified.
Chu Muping was dissatisfied with Chu Ci's return because he was afraid that his brother would take a bigger share of the old man's inheritance, so he wanted to push Chu Ci into the water whenever he got the chance.
Meng Qingyan suppressed her displeasure and said, "Third brother, please be careful with your words. If Dad finds out about you randomly suspecting people at home, it will break his heart."
Chu Muping argued confidently, "Sister-in-law, the police are here now. I'm not just making random suspicions. If they didn't have evidence, would they come to question your daughter? I just want to advise you to be more open-minded. A phoenix egg dropped into a chicken coop will never become a phoenix again."
Seeing Meng Qingyan's ugly face, Meng Yuxin quickly helped her refute Chu Muping's words: "Uncle, please don't talk nonsense. Now the police only suspect my cousin and have not convicted her. You can't say that."
Chu Muping sneered: "Let's wait and see. When the police take her back for questioning, you can prepare to hire a lawyer for her."
Meng Yuxin said, "Uncle San, you're wrong to think that way. My cousin's surname is Chu, and yours is also Chu. How can you hope that something bad will happen to your cousin?"
Meng Qingyan agreed with Meng Yuxin's opinion: "Yuxin is right."
Chu Ci came back from the kitchen with dessert, and when she passed through the living room, everyone looked at her.
Chu Ci looked down at the dessert in his hand and replied, "There's more in the kitchen."
In other words, don't take what's in her hand.
