"Girl, how can you talk to your grandma like that!" Xu Suzhen was so angry that she pointed at Ying Huanyu's nose and cursed.
Although she didn't like Ying Huanyu, she knew in all honesty that she had not treated her badly in the past few years, nor had she beaten or scolded her, nor even asked her to do any housework.
Ying Huanyu also felt a little regretful and was about to apologize when he suddenly heard footsteps and Xue Jiayu's laughter. An idea flashed through his mind and he immediately knelt down to Xu Suzhen.
"Grandma, I'm sorry, I was wrong, please don't send me away."
Xu Suzhen was stunned. "What are you doing, kid? When did I say I was going to send you away?"
Just as she was about to pull Ying Huanyu up, she heard Xue Jiayu ask, "Grandma, sister, what are you doing?"
Xu Suzhen raised her eyes and met the surprised eyes of the three people. She immediately explained: "I didn't bully this girl. She knelt down suddenly by herself! I didn't say anything!"
This explanation was very pale, and Xue Jiayu immediately ran over to help Ying Huanyu up.
"Sister, I was not good and made grandma angry. Don't blame grandma." Ying Huanyu sobbed softly, and her voice sounded very pitiful.
Xu Suzhen was so afraid that her precious granddaughter would believe Ying Huanyu's words that she was so angry that she couldn't speak clearly.
"Xiaobao, listen to grandma's explanation--"
"Grandma, I believe you."
While Xue Jiayu helped Ying Huanyu up, he turned around and held Xu Suzhen's hand with a firm look.
Her reaction was beyond Ying Huanyu's expectation. Shouldn't her sister have lost her temper with Xu Suzhen after hearing her words? Why did her sister still believe Xu Suzhen?
Xu Suzhen was overwhelmed with emotions at the moment, with feelings of being touched, confused, and anxious all intertwined together, and her eyes silently turned red.
"Come in and eat first."
Xue Wangjun and Jiang Qiuyu were reluctant to tell Xu Suzhen, so they could only send Xue Jiayu to ask Ying Huanyu what happened.
Ying Huanyu looked at her face hesitantly and said, "Grandma asked me to go look for you and bring you back. When I couldn't find you, she scolded me."
She deliberately spoke vaguely, and Xue Jiayu pondered for a moment after hearing it.
After a while, Xue Jiayu patted her shoulder and said, "Okay, let's go get some food."
"elder sister……"
Ying Huanyu was puzzled. Wasn't she wronged? Why shouldn't her sister "seek justice" for her? Even if she couldn't scold grandma, she should still lose her temper for her.
Why is my sister's reaction so cold!
Xue Jiayu glanced at her, "What's wrong? Do you have anything else to say?"
"Don't be angry with grandma."
Xue Jiayu patted her head and said, "Of course."
Xu Suzhen is outspoken, has no secrets, and is kindhearted by nature.
Besides, Ying Huanyu's description was somewhat vague, so she decided to make a big deal out of a small matter.
The two of them sat at the dining table. Jiang Qiuyu placed two bowls of rice on the table and looked at Xue Jiayu to see how well she understood the situation.
She returned the look: Nothing.
Since Xiaobao said it was okay, then it was okay! Jiang Qiuyi and Xue Wangjun exchanged glances and ate peacefully.
At the dinner table, Xu Suzhen was still unhappy about what had just happened, but Ying Huanyu was just a child, and it would make her, as an adult, seem petty if she argued with her.
While she was eating, a chicken leg was suddenly put into her bowl.
Xu Suzhen looked up in surprise and found that it was Xue Jiayu.
"Grandma, you are the hardest working person in our family, you deserve a big chicken drumstick."
The grievance in her heart just now disappeared immediately. Xu Suzhen sniffed and said, "Good boy, you are so good. Eat it. Grandma appreciates your kindness."
"No! Grandma must eat, otherwise Xiaobao will be unhappy."
Xue Jiayu pouted deliberately, which made Xu Suzhen laugh.
"Okay, okay, grandma will eat, and Xiaobao will eat too."
Seeing that Xue Jiayu had no intention of venting her anger, Ying Huanyu didn't know what to say and just lowered her head to eat her meal.
After finishing the meal, Jiang Qiuyi couldn't wait to go upstairs to take a shower. She had been going out early and coming back late with Xue Wangjun these past few days, and she felt like she was about to stink!
"Okay, honey, go take a shower. I'll play with the children downstairs for a while." Xue Wangjun took the responsibility of accompanying the children so that the beauty-loving Jiang Qiuyu could take a bath without worry.
Jiang Qiuyu returned to her room, opened the closet to get her pajamas, and suddenly wanted to look at the jewelry box. When she opened the box, she was shocked!
The small gold locket she bought for Xue Jiayu disappeared. She wanted to call Xu Suzhen to come up and ask, but suddenly remembered: Xue Jiayu, Xu Suzhen and Ying Huanyu were the only ones at home these days. The gold locket originally belonged to Xue Jiayu, so there was no need for her to steal it.
Xu Suzhen would never steal her granddaughter's gold lock, so the only possibility is...
"Hubby, come up here!"
Xue Wangjun was playing a jigsaw puzzle with Xue Jiayu. When he heard Jiang Qiuyu calling him, he naturally didn't want to go upstairs.
"Wait a minute, aren't you taking a shower?"
"Xue Wangjun, I ask you to come up right now!"
Jiang Qiuyi seldom spoke to him in this tone. Xue Wangjun suddenly felt that something was wrong. He quickly put down the puzzle and smiled apologetically to his beloved daughter.
"Xiaobao, you guys play first. Dad will go upstairs to take a look and come down later."
"kindness!"
Xue Jiayu did not suspect anything and continued to look for the next piece of the puzzle.
Only Ying Huanyu felt something was wrong and looked at Xue Wangjun's back several times until Xue Jiayu asked her, "Sister, what's wrong with you? Why do you keep looking upstairs?"
"I was wondering why Mom was so anxious to ask Dad to go upstairs. Is there something wrong?"
Xue Jiayu didn't care. "The adults have their own business. This is none of our business. Please help me find where 3-77 is."
Ying Huanyu was very worried, fearing that Jinsuo's affair would be exposed.
"Sister, why don't we go up and take a look."
Seeing her insistence, Xue Jiayu had no choice but to put down the puzzle.
"walk."
As soon as Xue Wangjun returned to the master bedroom, Jiang Qiuyi closed the door. Xue Wangjun was stunned, "Wife, why are you so proactive today..."
"Don't give me that." Jiang Qiuyi rolled her eyes at him and pointed at the jewelry box and said, "The gold lock I bought for Xiaobao is gone."
"The house was robbed!?"
Xue Wangjun's first reaction was to call the police, but he was stopped by Jiang Qiuyu.
"It's not just a thief, it's a thief in your home. If you call the police, how can they catch him?"
Xue Wangjun suddenly felt that his brain was not enough, "Wife, what do you mean?"
"What I mean is that Huanyu took the gold lock. Mom wouldn't steal Xiaobao's gold lock, and Xiaobao wouldn't take it either, so it could only be Huanyu."
Jiang Qiuyi crossed her arms and said, "This matter is very serious. We can't raise a thief in our family."
"This," Xue Wangjun scratched his head, "It may not be Huanyu. Maybe there really is a thief."
Jiang Qiuyi almost wanted to slap him, so she patiently opened the bottom layer of the jewelry box to show him: "There are gold bracelets and gold necklaces underneath, but the thief didn't take any of them and only wanted a gold lock? Don't you think it's strange!"
Xue Wangjun then realized the seriousness of the matter, "What should we do? Who should we give Huanyu to?"
