Chapter 289 Perform well? Are you sure you're not courting death?!
After Qin Huaiyu coaxed Yi Cui back, he watched Xu Yanxin's departing figure and his mind was filled with thoughts of what excuse he could use to smooth things over and appease Xu Yanxin.
However, he was destined to never have the chance.
After the auction, Qin Feng, acting on Xu Yanxin's behalf, reported the theft of valuable jewelry and bags from her home to the police.
Because of the enormous amount involved, the authorities attached great importance to it.
The suspect, Aunt Guo, was quickly identified.
It wasn't difficult to investigate Aunt Guo's sale of jewelry through a second-hand shop; in no time, evidence of her stealing from the homeowner and substituting one item for another was presented to her.
The evidence was irrefutable and there was no room for argument, but Aunt Guo still couldn't believe it when she looked at the evidence laid out in front of her.
She looked at Xu Yanxin with a pleading expression.
"Young Miss, I've worked hard all these years, even if I haven't achieved anything great, you can't treat me like this!"
"I only sold those things because I was out of my mind and saw that you didn't like them!"
"It wasn't easy for me to raise Huaiyu all by myself. This is just a drop in the ocean for you. Can't you just be kind and let me off the hook?!"
"Even if you don't care about me, you should at least consider Huaiyu's feelings. You and he are still dating. If you dare to send me to jail, how are you going to explain it to Qin Huaiyu?!"
This was the first time Yuan Yangyang had heard such bizarre remarks, and it once again refreshed her understanding of Aunt Guo's shamelessness.
Xu Lengyu clicked her tongue impatiently, thinking that even at this point, this person still couldn't resist distorting the truth and brainwashing Xu Yanxin; he was truly hopeless.
She deserved to end up like this.
Xu Yanxin remained silent for a long time, mainly because she didn't know what to say.
But the only thing she was certain of was that it was impossible for her to forgive.
Aunt Guo, however, couldn't see through Xu Yanxin's thoughts.
Seeing that Xu Yanxin remained silent for a long time, she assumed that she had softened after being talked to, so she quickly pressed on.
"We'll be family sooner or later, there's no need to be so clear about it. Whether it's ours or yours, isn't it all the same?"
You've made things so tense now, aren't you just creating distance?
Your father didn't have a son either. With such a large business in the Qin family, Huaiyu will have to manage it for you. Listen to me, Yanxin, stop making trouble.
"Quickly tell Uncle Hat that it's all a misunderstanding!"
Aunt Guo couldn't believe that Xu Yanxin would be so heartless. She comforted herself, saying that Xu Yanxin was just unable to accept the fact that she had sold her jewelry, which was why she acted so drastically.
If she coaxes her properly, Xu Yanxin, being just a little girl, will definitely soften and let her go.
Besides, Xu Yanxin and Qin Huaiyu are still dating, so there's no way she would send her boyfriend's mother to jail.
Aunt Guo was fearless and had complete faith in her own ideas.
Until Xu Yanxin, whom she had always seen as gentle and easy to talk to, avoided her touch and stepped back.
When the silver bracelet was placed on her wrist, the cold touch made her shiver involuntarily.
It was too late to beg for mercy.
Even though Aunt Guo was filled with regret and terrified at this point, it was too late.
Uncle Hat didn't give her a chance to beg for mercy or explain herself; he simply dragged and carried her away.
Aunt Guo was taken away at night, and Qin Huaiyu received the news the next day at noon.
When Uncle Hat came over, Yi Cui was trying her best to coax Qin Huaiyu into giving her family the Qin family's project.
According to Yi Cui, Qin Huaiyu personally promised her compensation at the auction.
Given the size of the Qin family, giving them two projects is nothing.
Unexpectedly, Qin Huaiyu refused three times and wouldn't budge.
The reasons given were varied and untenable.
Finally, Qin Huaiyu got annoyed by the pestering and had no choice but to pretend to agree.
But all I could think about was calming Yi Cui down first, since he was about to join the film crew anyway.
Just say you were too busy and forgot, and you can cancel.
Unexpectedly, the film crew, for whom he had already signed a contract, became someone whose project was indefinitely postponed.
Uncle Hat came up to him, and without giving him a chance to refuse, he was about to take him away.
"Qin Huaiyu, right? There's a jewelry theft case. Please come back with us to investigate."
Qin Huaiyu's heart skipped a beat, and his expression immediately changed.
My heart sank to the bottom.
Seeing the men in hats opposite him exuding an imposing aura that brooked no refusal.
That left him with no shred of hope.
The only words in his mind were "It's over!" and he immediately felt dazed and wanted to go with the other person.
Yi Cui reacted even more strongly than Qin Huaiyu himself, grabbing him tightly and refusing to let go, questioning Uncle Hat.
"Are you kidding me? Stealing jewelry? Huh? Do you even know who he is? He's got more money than he can spend, why would he steal someone else's jewelry?"
Uncle Hat didn't want to pay attention; he only wanted to take the suspect away for questioning.
But Yi Cui thought the other party had made a mistake.
Thinking of the cooperation project that Qin Huaiyu had just promised her, she felt that she absolutely could not let him take it away.
If she were to allow the Qin family's heir to be taken away right under her nose, not to mention whether the Qin Group would anger her family, Qin Huaiyu himself would definitely be furious.
He might get upset and the promised collaboration might fall through.
Moreover, this is also an opportunity for her.
If she behaves well, once this misunderstanding is cleared up, Qin Huaiyu will surely reward her handsomely for her efforts in protecting him.
Yi Cui was determined to make a good impression on Qin Huaiyu.
"Let me tell you, he's the heir to the Qin Group. The smart ones would release him now, or you'll be in deep trouble!"
The men in hats exchanged bewildered glances, then looked at the bouncy and jumping Yi Cui, their eyes filled with a mixture of emotions.
One of them shook his head and sighed, "Young people these days are under too much pressure, it's driving them crazy. What Qin family heir? He must be talking nonsense!"
Qin Huaiyu was embarrassed by what was said, but Yi Cui didn't notice at all.
Instead, she comforted Qin Huaiyu, saying, "Brother Huaiyu, don't be afraid. I won't let them take you away!"
They even accused you of stealing. That's utter nonsense. Do you think you're short of that little bit of money?
"Forget one or two pieces of jewelry, with your wealth, you could easily acquire an entire jewelry brand!"
Uncle Hat became more and more confused as he listened.
This girl is speaking Mandarin, so why can't they understand her?
The financial resources to acquire a jewelry brand? Are you sure you're referring to Qin Huaiyu?
He's just an unknown, obscure celebrity, and his family only has a mother who works as a nanny. Where would he get the money?
Sensing there might be a misunderstanding, the man in the hat quickly explained.
"You've misunderstood. We didn't say he stole anything. It's just that the mastermind behind this theft is his mother, Ms. Guo Huifen, so we need to take Mr. Qin back for investigation. Please cooperate with our work!"
Iri was dumbfounded.
Guo Huifen? Isn't she the Qin family's nanny?
Isn't she Xu Yanxin's mother? How did she become Qin Huaiyu's mother?
