The Thief Cries Thief (Part 1)
Yan Baichuan came back quickly, with no expression on his face.
Xiang Xinrong, who was following behind, looked a little distraught.
Fu Shutao thought: [It seems that my confession was rejected? However, I now have more unfortunate news to tell you! 】
She called out to Xiang Xinrong and smiled slightly: "Don't you have anything to tell me about what happened yesterday?"
Xiang Xinrong was startled, with three parts of embarrassment and seven parts of anger on her face. She thought Fu Shutao was deliberately exposing her shortcomings in front of the person she liked, so her tone was a little bad, "What do you want?"
"I didn't mean anything." Fu Shutao shook her head, looked at Xiang Xinrong, and expressionlessly stuck the fork in her hand into the table, then pulled it out and replied casually, "I just saw you and wanted to remind you that you scolded us yesterday."
Insert...inserted it?
Xiang Xinrong froze, staring at the four holes on the thick wooden table, and swallowed in horror, "You... I..."
Fu Shutao smiled at her and encouraged her, "Just say whatever you want to say."
Xiang Xinrong just thought her smile was creepy, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry."
Fu Shutao glanced at Fu Wuxi and said nothing, but she was actually a little hesitant.
[She hasn't done those things like drugging Xixi and taking photos. Should I let her go for now, or should I just cheat her out of it? Tsk, that’s the downside of having too high a moral bottom line... It’s a pity that I can’t ask Xixi directly. 】
When Fu Wuxi heard this, he looked at Xiang Xinrong silently, raised the corner of his mouth, and said to her: "Just an apology?"
Xiang Xinrong had always known Fu Wuxi to be gentle, quiet and silly. The first time she saw her with such an angular look, she was stunned.
At this moment, Fu Shutao's mobile phone rang with an electronic voice: "200,000 yuan has been deposited into the bank card."
Fu Shutao immediately smiled, glanced at her phone, looked up at Yan Baichuan and said, "Thank you, Brother Chuan!"
"You're welcome. I said I would give you a big red envelope before. I made you wait for so long. This is your mental damage compensation." Yan Baichuan said this with a hint of meaning, and glanced at Xinrong.
Xiang Xinrong was not stupid, and he quickly reacted to the hint. His eyes flashed, and he picked up his phone. Just as he was about to transfer the money, he heard Fu Shutao ask, "Brother Chuan, are you giving me all the money you have?"
"How can I show my sincerity if I don't give you everything?"
"Brother Chuan, you are really self-aware." Fu Shutao took a sip of milk tea, "Oh, I'm done, it's time to go find dad and my older sisters."
What Fu Shutao meant was, if she was not satisfied with the amount given, would she go to her family to complain? If the Xiang family were attacked by the Fu family, they would have no power to resist. By then, not only will your current private money be gone, but you may never have it again in the future.
Xiang Xinrong figured this out, picked up his phone, asked Yan Baichuan for Fu Shutao's bank account number, and transferred the money to her with trembling hands.
5 million yuan has been deposited into the bank card!
Payee: Xiang Xinrong.
Fu Shutao glanced at her phone and said to Xiang Xinrong in surprise, "Xiang Xinrong, why did you suddenly transfer 5 million to me?"
You ask even though you know the answer!
Xiang Xinrong lost both money and face, and was shaking with anger, but he managed to answer, "This is my mental damages for scolding you in the bathroom yesterday. Let's stop here, okay?"
Fu Shutao turned to look at Fu Wuxi and asked, "Xixi, what do you think?"
"Can."
"Okay, we've got the compensation, and that's the end of it."
Xiang Xinrong heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this answer. She turned around and wanted to run, but after thinking for a while, she cautiously stood where she was to see if she had anything else to say.
Fu Shutao ate two pieces of cantaloupe, turned around and saw her here, and said with a smile: "Why are you still here? Aren't you going to play with your sisters?"
Xiang Xinrong immediately turned around and left.
The moment I saw Fang Songyu, I suddenly understood what Fu Shutao meant.
Since we talked about gossip together yesterday, I shouldn't be the only one to bear the consequences.
Xiang Xinrong leaned over and told Fang Songyu about it, "I have her account here, you can transfer money directly." This way she wouldn't have to face her. When she thought of the four holes on the table, she felt uncomfortable all over.
Fang Songyu looked at her like she was a fool. "She asked you to send money, so you sent money? She just returned to the Fu family, and she probably hasn't gotten to know her family yet. How could the Fu family make things difficult for the Xiang family because of her?"
"But...what she said was very sincere. I think she would really do that."
Fang Songyu said confidently: "I must be bluffing you. Didn't I get 5 million easily? You are so stupid. Although 5 million is nothing, it is still a loss."
Isn’t 5 million nothing?
Xiang Xinrong felt like her heart was bleeding, as she had managed to survive with great difficulty.
Fang Songyu, who didn't even have 5 million, rolled his eyes and deliberately asked, "How was your confession to Young Master Yan going?"
"Nothing... nothing happened?"
Fang Songyu deliberately provoked her: "It seems that the Second Young Master Yan was snatched away by her. It's really abominable. Not only did she snatch the man, but also his money..." Her eyes and tone were full of anger. "I think you should make a big deal out of it and embarrass her. If the Fu family kicks her out, maybe you still have a chance."
Xiang Xinrong's anger, which he had been forcibly suppressing, was instantly ignited by her, but he changed his mind and backed off, "Today is Yun Qiang's engagement party, it would be bad if we make a big fuss."
"Then drag Fu Wuxi into this together. Yun Qiang will definitely be happy to see her lose face. Maybe you can even establish a relationship with the Chu family." Fang Songyu glanced at Fu Wuxi over there, with a hint of viciousness flashing in his eyes. "Don't hesitate. This kind of opportunity is rare! Fu Shutao is short-sighted now. It will be difficult to plot against her in the future."
Xiang Xinrong was so irritated by her urging tone that he lost his ability to think and said angrily, "Then I'll call the police and sue her for blackmail!"
"It's both of them. I'll accompany you!"
Fang Songyu said this with a slight curl of his lips, sneering disdainfully in his heart: Idiots are so useful!
…
When the police arrived, Chu Wenye and Cui Yunqiang were cutting their engagement cake under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Fu Shutao leaned close to Fu Yijin's ear and said in a low voice, "Brother, find a suitable time. I'll leave it to you!"
Fu Yijin was slightly stunned.
Before he could say anything, he saw the police, led by Xiang Xinrong, striding towards Fu Shutao.
Fu Shutao didn't show any surprise on her face. She waved obediently as a greeting.
Xiang Xinrong pointed at Fu Shutao and said loudly: "It was her who just extorted 5 million from me."
There were whispers of discussion among the crowd.
Someone was disdainful: "5 million is nothing to the Fu family, why are they blackmailing them? Don't think twice before lying."
Some people also believed it: "How can it be impossible? After all, he grew up in the mountains, so it's normal for him to be a little more cautious."
There are also those who gloat over other people's misfortune: "It looks like the engagement party for Third Young Master Chu is going to be lively."
But - the excitement belongs to everyone.
The only ones who felt uncomfortable were Chu Wenye and Cui Yunqiang.
Even his parents, Chu Mao and Jiang Meihua, crowded forward, wanting to see the real daughter of the Fu family make a fool of herself. Last time at the Fu family's banquet, they were embarrassed by Fu Shutao and they still held a grudge against her. At this moment, they hoped very much that something would happen to her. Even if she was not locked up, it would be embarrassing enough for her to be taken away by the police at a wealthy family's banquet.
Under the gaze of everyone, Fu Shutao did not show any sign of panic. She just looked at Xiang Xinrong in confusion and asked, "Are you lying to me?"
Xiang Xinrong was stunned: "What?"
According to common sense, shouldn't she make some excuses at this time, so that I can naturally pull up the restaurant surveillance and let everyone see how I was besieged by the two sisters of the Fu family?
Fu Shutao looked innocent, "You said that the 5 million was because you scolded me in the bathroom and I happened to catch you in the act, so you compensated me for my mental damages."
As she spoke, she pointed at Yan Baichuan and Fu Wuxi who were walking over, and said to the police, "Uncle police, they were at the scene and can prove that I am telling the truth."
"No!" Xiang Xinrong was still sober at the moment, and looked at Yan Baichuan apologetically, meaning - I didn't mean to drag you into this.
Yan Baichuan:?
He didn't understand and just felt confused.
Then Xiang Xinrong's firm voice came to my ears: "Fu Wuxi is an accomplice, Yan Baichuan likes you, you can't be a witness."
Yan Baichuan:? ? ?
Does she have delusions?
If Fu Shiyuan believed it, how could I still be healthy? I just cooperated with Taotao to cheat her out of some money, that shouldn't be a crime punishable by death!
Fu Shutao:? ? ?
We are half-siblings but will soon share the same sister. Our relationship is very pure, so don't spread rumors!
Fu Shutao and Yan Baichuan looked at each other, both of them had a look of confusion on their faces.
Not pretending at all, just genuinely shocked.
The crowd was suddenly in an uproar, as if a bunch of firecrackers were stuffed into the crowd, exploding with crackling sounds.
Although I had some guesses in my mind when I saw how familiar Yan Baichuan and Fu Shutao were, I never thought it would be confirmed so quickly. Could it be that the Fu family had just dissolved their marriage alliance with the Chu family and so quickly found the more wealthy Yan family?
Fu Changgeng's originally unhappy face instantly relaxed, and he thought to himself that if he could really form an alliance with the Yan family, the scale of the Fu family would be able to reach a higher level.
Fu Yijin glanced at Yan Baichuan indifferently, looking a little displeased.
Fu Shuangchi's face was slightly cold, and he looked at Yan Baichuan with eyes that seemed to be pierced by a knife.
Fu Wuxi didn't pay attention to anything else, his face was full of worry.
"So besides cursing people behind their backs, you also like to spread rumors." Fu Shutao raised an eyebrow, skipped over the topic, and said indifferently: "A mere 5 million, do you think it's worth it for the three of us to work together to plot against you?"
[How could it not be so? It is too serious!] Please forgive me, God of Wealth, for I boasted today. 】
When Fu Shuangchi saw Taotao's expression, he couldn't help laughing. How could she have such an expression exactly the same as her brother's usual one? Thinking of this, she glanced at the crowd and unexpectedly discovered that Fu Yijin had disappeared at some point.
Her expression froze slightly. He just left without caring about Taotao?
Cold-blooded brother!
The onlookers agreed with Fu Shutao's words. Such a small amount of money was not enough for the Fu family and the Yan family.
Xiang Xinrong was panicked for a moment and looked at Fang Songyu for help.
Fang Songyu cursed inwardly, "idiot". She had been hiding herself, but now she could only stand out and said in a fair manner, "Originally, I didn't believe what Xinrong said, but we are not familiar with you... How about you explain it to the police?"
These words reminded everyone of Fu Shutao's life experience, and they suddenly became uncertain.
Fu Shutao glanced at her and asked curiously, "Who are you?"
Fang Songyu almost took a step back because of her look. He suppressed his panic and replied calmly, "Fang Songyu."
Oh, another name that sounds familiar.
Fu Shutao nodded and continued to ask Xiang Xinrong: "You said I blackmailed you, then what did I use to blackmail you? It's not possible that I just told you to give me 5 million and you just did it."
Xiang Xinrong had already thought of this answer, and glanced at Yan Baichuan: "I discussed your and Fu Wuxi's life experience before. When we met today, you and Fu Wuxi sang the same tune and said that I scolded you, and threatened that if I didn't give you 5 million, you would go to complain to Mr. Fu. I was scared for a moment, so I transferred the money to you."
"Where's the evidence?"
"There are surveillance cameras in the hall." Xiang Xinrong was very confident. Fortunately, Fu Shutao and the others were sitting at the round table in the corner, and the surveillance camera there could only capture her face, which was definitely beneficial to her.
Fu Shutao heard the music in the hall stop, slowly put on a pure and flawless smile, and said lightly: "But I have evidence~"
"What?" Xiang Xinrong was stunned.
Before she could ask, she heard her and Fu Shutao's voices in every corner of the hall:
——"Xiang Xinrong, why did you suddenly transfer 5 million to me?"
——"This is my compensation for the mental damages I incurred when I scolded you in the bathroom yesterday. Can we just stop here?"
The banquet hall was very large, with many speakers of particularly good quality. The sound coming out was very clear. Xiang Xinrong froze all over. The sound was like a sharp sword, piercing her body from all directions and fiercely peeling off her skin.
This short audio clip was played three times in the banquet hall to ensure that no one missed this wonderful moment. Only then did it stop and return to the melodious piano music.
But no one at the scene could focus on the music, and everyone started talking at once.
"Isn't this the thief crying thief? This girl doesn't seem to be very smart."
"Not only is he not smart, he is also stupid and evil. He said bad things behind closed doors and was caught in the bathroom. He even dared to bite back after paying for it. Do you know whose family it is?"
"I don't know him. He must have sneaked in from a small family. The same goes for the second branch of the Chu family. They can bring any cat or dog into the party. There is no threshold at all."
"Tsk, with the Second House's behavior, no wonder they have no say in the Chu family."
"But the Sixth Miss of the Fu family looks young, but she is quite shrewd. She even recorded the conversation in advance."
"It's definitely the Fu family's child. Everyone in their family is very cunning."
…
These sounds were not deliberately suppressed in volume and gradually reached Xiang Xinrong's ears, and her face became paler and paler.
She finally realized how stupid what she had done was.
Fu Shutao laughed softly, waking Xiang Xinrong up. Looking up, he heard Fu Shutao say in a calm voice, "You know what? I meant it when I said that things would end here, but now, it seems that I need to meet you in court."
[Actually, I was planning to let you go, but you shouldn't have framed Xixi and me. Since you insist on doing this kind of job as a vicious female supporting role with low intelligence, then just file a lawsuit and get some compensation! Hehehe, another money coming in! 】
Fu Wuxi's nervousness finally dissipated. Fortunately, Taotao had recorded the conversation in advance. Otherwise, if she was really taken away by the police for investigation in public, she would definitely be disliked and humiliated by her father, and would be fined. Taotao would be very sad then.
Xiang Xinrong was confused and subconsciously looked for her good sister Fang Songyu in the crowd, but found that she had disappeared somewhere.
She realized at this moment that she was being used as a gun by Fang Songyu. She was so angry that she said, "I didn't want to call the police. Fang Songyu instigated me to do it! She was just jealous of Fu Wuxi and wanted me to drag her down with her!"
Fu Shutao sighed softly, and in a voice that only a few people nearby could hear, she muttered to herself, "So you want to drag Xixi into this. I thought you wanted to ruin Cui Yunqiang's engagement party."
Xiang Xinrong was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she shouted loudly: "Yun Qiang, Fang Songyu is also jealous of you and wants to ruin your engagement party. His mind is so vicious!"
Everyone was stunned. These fake sisters must have such deep hatred and resentment.
Cui Yunqiang's eyes instantly seemed to be poisoned as she searched for Fang Songyu in the crowd.
Fang Songyu had just spoken, and naturally someone recognized her. A path automatically formed in the crowd, revealing Fang Songyu who was hiding at the back.
Fu Shutao smiled at her from a distance.
Fang Songyu's face turned pale.
