Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

1188 Lost The Diamond Bracelet

Gu Zheng had always found such things childish and boring. He did not have time to go to the beach to pick seashells to make wind chimes, but at some point, a seashell wind chime appeared in his hand.

Perhaps dreams did not need logic. Everything was so ridiculous.

In the dream, Mo Yuan gave the wind chime to Black Tide. Black Tide happily took it and waved it in her hand. She smiled sweetly and said, “The sound of the wind chime is beautiful!”

Mo Yuan revealed a satisfied smile, but it quickly disappeared. He had always been so cold as if he was not used to laughing. When he spoke, his voice remained cold. “What’s so nice about the sound of shells hitting each other? I’ll give you a better gift in the future.”

The next second, Black Tide put the wind chime to her ear and shook it gently. The ordinary wind chime suddenly made sounds that were pleasant to the ear.

Mo Yuan was stunned for a moment before nodding. “It does sound good. I won’t give it to you anymore. I’ll keep it for myself.”

Black Tide hurriedly protected the wind chime in her arms and smiled sweetly. “No! You’ve already given it to me. This wind chime is mine. You can’t go back on your word. Also, you have to give me more gifts in the future!”

Looking at the girl’s tender and innocent smile, Mo Yuan could not help but smile.

Gu Zheng’s consciousness was pulled out of his dream. He suddenly opened his eyes and felt a slight headache. Why was he dreaming of the shell wind chime? Could it be that he had really given that wind chime to Qiao Xi?

Gu Zheng sat on the chair and reacted for a moment before getting up to leave the room. As soon as he left, he bumped into Qiao Xi walking over with a wind chime. “It’s all packed. Let’s go.”

“Well…” She hesitated. “Get Song Shijing to help me find a more reliable butler. I’m still worried about this butler.”

“Alright,” Gu Zheng replied.

On the other hand, in a luxury car near the Qiao family’s villa, Xia Yunlou’s expression was gloomy. “I didn’t expect Qiao Xi to suddenly appear. We should’ve left long ago!”

Xia Mengyan’s eyes turned red. “Aunt…”

Xia Yunlou naturally couldn’t bear to scold Xia Mengyan. She only scolded her softly, “Mengyan, you’re the daughter of the Xia family. You’ve been treated well your whole life. Why do you have to have that worthless shell wind chime? Moreover, you just broke a wind chime. Did you have to apologize to her? Qiao Xi has so many treasures in her hands. She doesn’t care about a wind chime at all. You don’t have to lower yourself to apologize to her!”

Xia Mengyan’s voice trembled slightly. “I was just afraid that Xi Xi wouldn’t be willing to give me a valuable gift, so I chose the most worthless item, the wind chime. I didn’t expect her to be unwilling to even give me that. Later, I accidentally broke the wind chime. I was afraid that Xi Xi would think that I did it on purpose, so I hurriedly apologized. Who knew that she still wouldn’t forgive me?”

Hearing their conversation, the driver was speechless. At that time, he had been waiting at the door and heard Miss Xia apologize. However, before Miss Qiao could speak, Madam Xia pulled Miss Xia out. As Miss Qiao’s biological mother, she treated her niece better than her own daughter. It was really strange.

At this moment, Xia Mengyan quietly took out the bracelet from the box and stuffed it into the pocket of her coat. Since Qiao Xi did not give them any face, Qiao Xi could not blame her for being heartless.

The inheritance left behind by Xia Yunqiu belonged to the Xia family. What right did Qiao Xi have to take it for herself? She had to make Qiao Xi pay the price!

After Xia Mengyan stuffed the one million yuan bracelet into the inner pocket of her coat, she pretended to be flustered and looked around. Just as the driver was about to drive away, she shouted in a panic, “Wait!”

The driver slammed on the brakes.

Xia Yunlou frowned unhappily. “Mengyan, what’s wrong now?”

Xia Mengyan panicked and said, “Aunt, my diamond bracelet is missing. I originally planned to wear it when I participated in business activities, but now that it’s gone, what should I do?!”

Xia Yunlou sat up and reached for the velvet box. She opened it and saw that it was indeed empty.

Xia Mengyan poured all the things in her bag onto the car seat. Her eyes turned red from anxiety. “There’s nothing in the jewelry box or in the bag. Where did the bracelet go? Could it have dropped when we were at the Qiao family’s villa?”

“Aunt, that’s a bracelet worth a million yuan. I have to go back and look for it,” Xia Mengyan said awkwardly. “B-But Xixi won’t let me in.”

Just as the two of them were hesitating, Xia Yunlou saw Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng’s car leave. She immediately decided. “They’ve left. Let’s go in and look for it. Who cares if she agrees or not?! A bracelet that’s worth a million yuan has been lost. She has to let us go in and look for it.”
