When he left, he did not forget to ask his sister to take the jewelry box with her. After what had happened, he was not at ease leaving the things in this house.
Stepmother Geng Mingli entered the Lu family when Lu Yiting was ten years old. She was introduced by Luo Ziming. At that time, Lu Xinyi and Luo Ziming had a very good relationship.
Luo Ziming persuaded Lu Xinyi to remarry in order to find someone to take care of Yiting. Later, Luo Ziming introduced Geng Mingli to him. At that time, Geng Mingli was living in poverty with a son and a daughter.
Lu Xinyi was busy with work at that time and had no time to take care of the children. Most of his time was left to his sister-in-law Gu Qianru. However, his father-in-law had lost his daughter in those years and was in poor health, so his sister-in-law Gu Qianru could not take care of them alone.
After Geng Mingli entered the Lu family, she was really nice to her three stepchildren. She never criticized them, but she also didn't bother to take care of them either. She just let the three children do whatever they wanted.
However, with the Gu family taking care of them, the three children did not grow up in a bad way. Instead, they all did well in their studies. The two older ones joined the army when they reached age, and Lu Yiting continued to go to school, as the country had just resumed the college entrance examination.
After Lu Yixuan and his siblings left, Lu Xinyi also changed his clothes and prepared to leave. Geng Mingli panicked and held Lu Xinyi and said, "Old Lu, if there is anything, can't we sit down and talk it out? What should I do if you leave?"
Lu Xinyi said: "Ask your daughter how she got those things?"
Geng Mingli said, "Old Lu, don't leave yet. I'll ask her now. Even if she is really wrong, Jianhua and I have never done anything to let the Lu family down. Jianhua is getting married in a few days. What do you want us to do at this critical moment?"
Lu Xinyi said: "Okay, then take them to the study, and we will explain the matter clearly today so that you will be convinced."
In fact, as soon as Lu Xinyi found the things, he knew what was going on, because the problem only occurred on that day, and he only became suspicious on that day. But it was his fault for not checking carefully, and it was because of this incident that his children were unhappy.
Cui Yueyue was stared at with hatred by her mother and brother, and was a little frightened, so she said: "It was Luo Fangyuan who asked me to go into the study to find the jade pendant. He told me to come back early that day and hide.
They would ask Dad to come back to get something, and said they would find a way to delay Dad. After I heard Dad leave the study to answer the phone, I went into the study to find the jade pendant with special flower patterns.
When I went in, the safe was open, and the jewelry box was inside. I looked through it but couldn't find the jade pendant. But seeing so many things, I thought it wouldn't be discovered if I took one or two, so I picked a pair of bracelets and a jade hairpin, and put the rest back in their original order. "
What Cui Yueyue said was the same as Lu Xinyi guessed, because the document that Luo Ziming asked him to come back to get that day was locked in the safe by him, and Luo Ziming knew about it.
But that day, because the son of Geng Mingli's cousin was getting married, the three of them went out early in the morning. When he came back to get something, the door was locked. He thought no one was home, so he went upstairs to open the safe, but at this moment the phone downstairs rang.
He had originally planned to take his things, lock the safe and then go downstairs, but he didn't expect the phone to keep ringing. He thought there was no one at home anyway, and was afraid that it was an emergency, so he hurried downstairs to answer the phone.
But the call lasted for more than twenty minutes. It was Luo Ziming who called. When he returned to the study, he smelled a faint fragrance in the study. He looked around and later saw the pot of flowers in the corridor. He thought it was the smell of flowers.
