The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 157: Chapter 157 Elder Shen Discovers Grandma Lin’s Jade Bracelet Chapter 157: Chapter 157 Elder Shen Discovers Grandma Lin’s Jade Bracelet Lin Jingsheng mentioned money, and suddenly he didn’t feel any pain at all.

Qian Yueqiang coldly sneered in her heart.

Given how oblivious the elderly lady was, her favoritism knew no bounds. Since childhood, she had treated that Qingwu girl like a treasure. That Jade Bracelet was probably left intentionally for Qingwu by the old lady!

Why should it be left to Qingwu? The old lady’s possessions should be reserved for her biological granddaughter!

That bracelet was so magnificent that giving it to Qingwu was a waste. If only it could be given to Chengcheng… The calculation was clearly written in Qian Yueqiang’s eyes.

“Honey, that bracelet must have been stolen by Qingwu. Now that she isn’t related to us, we can report it to the police, claiming she took Mom’s belongings. Could she possibly not return it?”

Lin Jingsheng’s face still hurt from being hit by Qingwu, and he was a bit hesitant upon hearing this.

“Well, we don’t have evidence to prove that the bracelet is Mom’s. If the brat insists the bracelet has nothing to do with the old lady, what will we do?”

“So what? That bracelet is worth at least seven figures! Are we just going to give it to that brat for nothing?”

Qian Yueqiang endured her pain, relentless.

Lin Jingsheng certainly wasn’t willing!

Such a valuable bracelet, how could it be given freely to Qingwu?

“Here’s the plan, I’ll find some influencers to buy some hot searches, just to say that something priceless was lost from our family. When the news ferments, I don’t believe she won’t be scared, and by then she’ll surely return the bracelet!”

Lin Jingsheng decided that as long as they initiated a cyberbullying campaign against Qingwu, the young girl wouldn’t be able to withstand it and would inevitably return the item!

Behind them, Qian Duo, who had been eavesdropping, quietly opened his eyes. He seized the moment when they weren’t paying attention to sneak away…

Such an expensive and good thing, how could it possibly be Lin Jingsheng’s?

Qingwu had been selected by the Lin Family and Qian Family as his future wife; her possessions should rightfully be his!

…

The night fell earlier in Qingshan County.

Stars descended onto the sky as Shen Shaojia slept soundly by the side. Qingwu, who had just untied her hair, suddenly heard a soft rustling.

The old Shen Mansion was well-maintained; there wouldn’t be any snakes or bugs… It could only be a person!

Qingwu glanced at Shen Shaojia beside her and took out her phone, tapping on the messages.

Tian Yue: “Boss, a small trash has broken into your house, should we handle it?”

“No need.”

Attached were several photos taken by Tian Yue, showing Qian Duo based on his silhouette!

Qingwu had just put away her phone and quietly slipped out of the room, as Shen Shaojia opened her eyes.

“Xiao Wu…”

Why was her sister getting up? Was it to use the bathroom?

But their room clearly had a restroom, didn’t it?

Shen Shaojia felt a bit confused when she suddenly heard a strange sound… Her anxiety spiked instantly!

Her sister came to Qingshan County for the first time; what if she encountered danger?

Shen Shaojia, not even bothering to put on shoes, quickly ran out to find Qingwu.

In the darkness, Qian Duo hunched over cautiously, trying to locate Qingwu’s room. He had bribed several local fishermen to find out which door the girl had entered…

It was the largest house in Qingshan County; was the girl really the daughter of a wealthy family?

Imagining this possibility, Qian Duo felt an intense thrill!

Thinking of Qingwu’s captivating beauty and graceful figure, Qian Duo couldn’t help but lick his lips with desire and lechery…

As long as he found Qingwu and took the opportunity to seal the deal, why fear she wouldn’t fall for him?

His mind filled with obscene thoughts, he didn’t notice a pair of cold eyes staring from a nearby ceiling beam above him!

He couldn’t make too much noise, or it would wake Shen Shaojia.

Qingwu touched her wristwatch, aimed at his carotid artery, and launched!

Qian Duo collapsed silently. Qingwu swiftly descended from the beam, staring coldly at the nearly lifeless man on the ground like a dead pig.

If she weren’t worried about causing trouble for Shen Shaojia and the Shen Family within the old Shen Mansion, Qian Duo wouldn’t have gotten away with just passing out!

Shen Shaojia, carrying a flashlight, rushed to Qingwu’s side.

“Xiao Wu, are you okay? What happened?”

“I’m fine, a thief broke in.”

Shen Shaojia glanced at Qian Duo lying on the ground, her gaze icy!

“Why would there be a thief? When did the Shen family’s security become so poor!”

Qingwu shook her head. “I don’t know. I heard a noise and came out to check. He was just lying there, covered in injuries, probably a nearby gambler.”

In Qingshan County, there were indeed many who gambled overnight and couldn’t repay their debts, and being beaten up wasn’t uncommon.

Shen Shaojia didn’t doubt her explanation, called the butler on duty, and had Qian Duo dragged away to the police overnight. She then faced Qingwu with a stern expression.

“In the future, call me for such incidents. I’m the older sister. It’s not your turn to take the lead yet! If something happened to you, I wouldn’t want to live either!”

She spoke to Qingwu like this for the first time, her eyes rimmed with red.

Qingwu pressed her lips together, looking at Shen Shaojia before her.

“But sister, you’re very tired and need rest. I don’t want to disturb you.”

Shen Shaojia was taken aback. Had her sister, claiming to be tired and needing rest that afternoon, actually wanted her to rest?

When she got up, she noticed the cover on Qingwu’s side was still cold, meaning she hadn’t lain down at the time she slept.

What kind of little angel was her sister!

Shen Shaojia felt a mix of sweet and sour emotions in her heart, though she still put on a stern face. “I promise to take good care of myself, but you can’t handle things alone like this anymore, okay?”

Qingwu nodded, her gaze slipping to Shen Shaojia’s bare feet, realizing her sister had been so worried she didn’t even notice her own situation!

“Sister, can you promise me one thing? Whatever happens, you won’t tell anyone?”

“Huh?”

Shen Shaojia was still baffled about what Qingwu was planning when she suddenly felt herself lifted off the ground!

Qingwu had actually carried her back to the room!

“Remember to wear shoes next time. Goodnight.”

Eyes wide, Shen Shaojia looked at her sister, completely at a loss for words!

Had she… actually been carried back to the room by her sister?

Did her sister have an unusual amount of strength?

Qingwu ignored Shen Shaojia’s shock, lying down and closing her eyes to sleep.

Shen Shaojia lay down as well, only after a moment did she stifle a laugh, turning to hug Qingwu. Her voice was joyful.

“I won’t tell anyone. I won’t share how adorable my sister is with them!”

This was a secret just between her and her sister!

…

The next day, at Shen Mansion.

Elder Shen sat in the garden, reading the newspaper, browsing recent events.

Zuo Wanjun finished watering the plants and sat next to him to enjoy afternoon tea.

“Hey, Dad, look at this news. It says a family’s Jade Bracelet was lost. That bracelet truly looks very valuable. How could such an item not be stored carefully?”

“Let me see.”

Elder Shen put down his newspaper and took the phone Zuo Wanjun handed over. One look at the screen, and he was overwhelmed with shock!

“That bracelet… it’s Huazhen’s bracelet!”

“What? Dad, you recognize it?”

Elder Shen enlarged and minimized the picture multiple times, his hands trembling with excitement, even tearing up a bit!

He nodded, reminiscing.

“The photo is quite old, but it’s definitely the bracelet I gave Huazhen back then. Huazhen cherished it and said she would pass it down to our children… But when Huazhen passed away, the bracelet should have been buried with her… Who released this information? Investigate it for me!”

Seeing Elder Shen so agitated, Zuo Wanjun understood the bracelet had a significant story and immediately agreed.

“Sure, I will!”

Elder Shen gazed at the photo on the phone, his eyes welling up with tears, emotions flooding over him.

“Huazhen, could it be you’re still alive? If you are, why haven’t you come to find me?”
