Chapter 463 The key is in my room!
After Mrs. Zhao entered the room, she looked around and saw Wang Pan'er constantly winking at her.
But Mrs. Zhao really couldn't make out anything from these winks and glances.
Before she could think about it, she came face to face with Xu Yao's serious face.
"Zhao Yunmei, we are from the same hometown. I, Xu Yao, believe that I have treated you well. During the years you have been in our family, I have never let you down in terms of food, clothing, and money."
"I want to ask you why you would do such a thing!"
Aunt Zhao really didn't know what Xu Yao was talking about. She was frightened by his aura and was speechless for a long time.
"I, I didn't do anything! What happened?"
It was Sun Shan who spoke up and answered Aunt Zhao's questions.
"Last night, when I got up to go to the bathroom, I accidentally saw someone entering Dad's study."
"Dad just went to check, and something was indeed missing from the study."
"Because we didn't hear anything last night, and the other rooms weren't opened, so we thought that person must have the key to the study."
Aunt Zhao looked at Wang Paner almost instantly, with anger and surprise in her eyes.
It turned out that Wang Paner was lying to her!
It turned out that Wang Pan'er had already succeeded, but was still hiding it from her, and it was obvious that she didn't want to give her a share!
OK! It was a pity that she always agreed with Wang Paner, but ended up with such a result!
Although she was angry, Aunt Zhao quickly explained after she came to her senses.
After all, no matter what, the key was given by her to Wang Paner, and the two of them were in the same boat.
She could go find Wang Paner later to discuss the money division.
The focus now is to cover up the matter from Xu Yao's side first.
Mrs. Zhao puffed out her chest, showing an aggrieved expression, and even her eyes turned red.
"Sir, you all know what kind of person I am over the years!"
"Besides, I went back to my own house last night and came back early this morning. How could I have the time to do something like this?"
Although Mrs. Zhao usually lives in the Xu family, ever since Xu Yao helped her eldest son find a job in Beijing a few years ago and settled down in Beijing, she would go there from time to time to stay for a night or two.
Usually I leave after finishing my meal in the afternoon and come back early in the morning so as not to delay my work.
Coincidentally, last night was her little grandson's birthday, so she left early after finishing her work in the afternoon.
Now, that's the perfect alibi.
"Sir, if you don't believe me, you can go to the gate to check the registration! I am really wronged!"
As Mrs. Zhao spoke, she even raised her sleeves and wiped the red corners of her eyes.
"Oh, Aunt Zhao, please stop crying!"
Wang Paner stepped forward with a look of pity on her face, "It seems that it is definitely not Aunt Zhao's fault, let her go down and wash herself!"
"Miss Pan'er, thank you!"
However, just as Aunt Zhao turned around to leave, Xu Yao stopped her.
"Wait, Zhao Yun, give me the key to my study. You don't have to clean this study anymore."
Aunt Zhao's heart skipped a beat, and she and Wang Pan'er looked at each other, both of them a little panicked.
Her key is still with Wang Paner! How can I get another one now?
"Why are you still standing there? Go get it!"
"I, I'll go now."
Mrs. Zhao agreed reluctantly and walked slowly towards the room.
While waiting, Wang Paner was a little restless in her seat, and even when Xu Mingxu called her, she didn't respond for a long time.
When Wang Pan'er was forcing a smile and playing with Xu Mingxu, she did not notice that Xu Yao, who was standing beside her, was looking at her with a thoughtful look.
After a long time, Aunt Zhao came out of the room reluctantly.
"Sir, I'm so sorry, I left the key at my eldest son's house when I went home yesterday."
"How about this, wait until tomorrow, and I'll get it back tomorrow!"
"Don't bother. Just ask the guard to take you there now."
“This, this…”
Aunt Zhao's forehead was covered with sweat due to anxiety. She never expected that Xu Yao would immediately send someone to go with her to get the key.
At this moment, Xu Yao slammed the table and shouted angrily.
"At this point, you still don't tell the truth?"
"Zhao Yunmei, Zhao Yunmei, let me tell you, since I can arrange a job for your eldest son, I can certainly make him unemployed! If you don't believe me, you can try it!"
"No, no, sir, I really didn't mean it!"
"If you didn't do it on purpose, then why did you give the key to Wang Pan'er!"
"Sir, this is none of my business. It was Pan'er who said she wanted the key, and I gave it to her because I thought she would be the mistress in the future."
Wang Paner's face changed drastically, "Aunt Zhao, what are you talking about!"
Aunt Zhao then realized that she had accidentally let the cat out of the bag and she suddenly covered her mouth.
But looking at Xu Yao's angry face, she also understood that even if she became mute now, it would be meaningless.
"Sir, you, you have to believe me, although I took the key, I have never been to your study!"
"No, I did want to go in, but I was just curious about what was inside. Then I realized that it was not a good idea, so I didn't go in."
"I really didn't take that thing! Really!"
When Xu Yao looked at Wang Paner's tearful face, he didn't feel distressed as usual, but became even angrier.
As soon as Mrs. Zhao came in, he saw her and Wang Pan'er making small movements and eye contact.
In addition, Wang Pan'er had been trying to help Mrs. Zhao shirk responsibility and looked panicked, so he took the opportunity to trick Mrs. Zhao, but he didn't expect that he would reveal the truth.
As for the excuses Wang Paner made up, he didn't believe them at all.
Judging from the fact that she tried every possible means to get the key to the study, her purpose was definitely not simple.
It can't be curiosity!
Xu Yao smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly. He thought he was smart, but he didn't expect that he was confused now.
I was actually deceived by Wang Paner's mask. I had actually thought of making her Mrs. Xu after she gave birth to the child!
Now it seems that she is totally unworthy!
Wang Pan'er looked at Xu Yao who remained silent and became more and more panicked.
But soon, her eyes lit up and she finally came up with a way to clear herself of suspicion.
"Sir, the key is in my room!"
"You can send someone to search. There is absolutely nothing you lost in my room!"
"I haven't left the house this morning. If it was really something I took, it must still be in my room!"
"Ashan, you go!" Xu Yao thought for a moment and instructed Sun Shan next to him.
Seeing this, Sun Shan, who was standing next to him, spoke hesitantly.
"Dad, given Miss Pan'er's identity, it would be inappropriate for me to go to her room to look for something."
"After all, there are bound to be some personal belongings in the room, and my identity is really inappropriate."
Xu Yao thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and simply stood up.
"Okay, then I'll go there myself!"
