TO MY DEAR MR. HUO

386-390

Chapter 386: That Just Proves You’re Guilty

However, she would still like to preserve her reputation. There was no way that she would start a fight with Xiang Caiping here.

She could only take the time to think of a way to teach this woman a lesson after what happened today.

While she was still thinking of a way to do that, Madam Luo, who had been standing at a corner to watch the unfolding drama, suddenly let out a shout.

“What’s wrong? Auntie?”

“T-The necklace I had been wearing around my neck is gone!”

When Madam Luo called out, Xiang Caiping had already reached the entrance. Her shout was a little louder than expected — Xiang Caiping might’ve heard it but she never thought of stopping.

“Wasn’t your necklace here earlier?” Madam Song quickly asked. “I saw it just now.”

“Yes. Where did my necklace disappear?” Madam Luo’s face was filled with panic. She lowered her head to search for the necklace but did not find it.

“Keep looking for it. Didn’t Mr.Luo give you this necklace? It’s worth millions, right?”

“Yes.” Madam Luo was in a total state of panic. She patted her body a few times. The pockets in her clothes had been turned inside out, but the necklace was nowhere to be found.

She blabbered on in panic: “Did you see me wearing it just now? Was I still wearing it when I entered the shop? I didn’t notice. Could it have fallen off in the car?”

Su Peizhen watched the alarmed look on Madam Luo’s face, and from the corner of her eye, she spotted Xiang Caiping, who had already walked out of Bo Gu Zhai. Suddenly, in an incredibly quiet tone, she suggested something in a would-be artless manner.

“Auntie. You were standing next to that woman earlier — could it possibly have accidentally fallen into her hands?”

Su Peizhen had suggested that it was accidental, but the meaning behind her words implied that Xiang Caiping was the one who took the necklace.

The shopkeeper of Bo Gu Zhai observed this sudden scene in silence. As a mere owner of a jade accessory store, he couldn’t possibly have the power to interfere in the dealings of these people.

Madam Song reacted with an ‘ah!’ as if she had received a reminder. “That’s right. You were standing so close to her just now, who knows — it might’ve accidentally dropped into her bag, right?”

Xiang Caiping was carrying an extremely big bag. It was an eye-catching, sheepskin bag of an unknown brand.

Su Peizhen was done with dropping hints. There was no need for her to say anything else.

She simply watched as Madam Luo and Madam Song walked out together to block Xiang Caiping off.

Xiang Caiping’s mood was initially affected by the appearance of Su Peizhen and her entourage. However, now that the jade pendant she intended to get for her daughter was in her hands, she was feeling pretty good.

There was a subway station nearby, but she thought of getting a cab. It wasn’t that far anyway.

However, before she could get to a cab stand, her path was blocked.

“Let me see your bag.”

Madam Luo couldn’t be bothered with her manners when she said this.

Xiang Caiping’s brows locked tightly. She clutched the two bags in her hands and took a step back.
