Chapter 43: Catching the Suspect in the Theft Case
"Aunt, don't be sad. My cousin is just not used to it for the time being." Meng Yuxin comforted.
Meng Qingyan nodded, she should give her daughter some time.
Chu Ci looked at the two of them calmly, "Can you move aside? I want to go eat."
They were in the way.
Chu Ci was not interested in the content of the conversation between the two people, she was only interested in food.
For someone who hasn't had a good meal in three years, the various foods provided by the Chu family are her highest pursuit.
Chu Ci's indifference made Meng Qingyan feel an insurmountable barrier between herself and her daughter.
She was helpless and sad.
Meng Yuxin quickly changed the subject and said, "Aunt, the results of the senior high school monthly exam are out, and I got third place in the whole school."
Hearing Meng Yuxin's words, Meng Qingyan's expression improved and she hurriedly said, "You made it into the top three in the grade again? Our Yuxin is really well behaved. What reward do you want this time?"
Meng Yuxin's grades have always been among the top ten in Huayue High School, and occasionally she can even get into the top three.
Huayue High School is the best high school in Tonghai City and also the high school with the highest admission rate.
There are many great people and talented students in the school. If you can be in the top ten in your grade in Huayue High School, it will be no problem for you to be admitted to the best university in the country through the college entrance examination.
Meng Yuxin smiled and shook her head: "No need for rewards, I deserve good grades. This is my own future, and I'm working hard for myself."
Meng Qingyan was deeply comforted by Meng Yuxin's sensible appearance.
My mood also calmed down a lot.
When looking at Chu Ci again, Meng Qingyan thought that as long as she kept her by her side and taught her more, even if she could not be as obedient and sensible as Yu Xin, at least she could change some of the bad habits she picked up in the slums.
At this time, the maid Mrs. Zhang came running over in a hurry.
When she saw the servant, Meng Qingyan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
She cares about her reputation and won't easily show her embarrassment in front of outsiders.
"Second Madam, there are a few policemen coming downstairs."
"What is it?"
Meng Qingyan was dignified and calm. Meng Yuxin, who was beside her, had a flash of discomfort on her face, but it was only for a moment, and she soon returned to normal. No one noticed the change in her expression.
"They said they wanted to arrest a suspect in some theft case."
"Theft? Was it the servants in the house who committed the crime?"
"They said that a young lady in my family had committed a crime, and asked us to call her downstairs. They said they would take her to the police station for interrogation." Mrs. Zhang replied.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could the young lady of our Chu family commit a crime? I'll go down and ask the police if they made a mistake." Meng Qingyan's first reaction was that the police made a mistake.
Mrs. Zhang didn't dare to answer and looked cautiously in the direction of Chu Ci.
Normally, it is impossible for a young lady from the Chu family to steal things, but there is a rather special young lady living in the Chu family now.
Mrs. Zhang's gaze made Meng Qingyan stunned for a moment, and she looked in the direction of Chu Ci.
Meng Qingyan was stunned.
Then he looked at Chu Ci and scolded Mrs. Zhang: "Don't think too much. Ah Ci is my daughter. She would never do such a thing!"
Meng Yuxin stole a glance in the direction of Chu Ci.
She knew the police were looking for Chu Ci.
Regardless of whether Chu Ci stole it or not, the item appeared in the express delivery sent to her, so she must have a share.
Meng Qingyan went downstairs and Meng Yuxin followed her.
Chu Ci went downstairs with a calm expression, but she was going to the kitchen to find something to eat.
The Chu family's chef would prepare some snacks every afternoon in case the Chu family needed afternoon tea.
Chu Ci likes these desserts very much.
In life, the only things that cannot be neglected are delicious food and a lazy sleep.
