Xia An 'an looked at the shawl. The craftsmanship was exquisite. One look and she knew it was expensive.
She quickly put the shawl back and shook her head. "No, no, this must be expensive. I don't want it."
Saying this, she wanted to return the shawl to Si Lijue.
Si Lijue saw this and couldn't help but frown. "Since I gave it to you, it's yours."
Xia An 'an said, "This is too expensive." If she wasn't wrong, it seemed to be inlaid with gems. Usually, these gems were fake gems made of plastic. However, Xia An didn't think that Si Lijue would make fake gems. That meant that the gems inlaid on it were all real. The price would definitely be expensive.
It was too expensive.
"No, sir, you should take it back. I can't accept it."
Si Lijue's eyes darkened.
His expression immediately darkened. His entire person became cold. He turned and said, "If you don't like it, then throw it away. I, Si Lijue, will not take back something that I have given away."
After saying this, he turned and left.
Xia An realized that Si Lijue seemed to be angry again.
She looked at the shawl with some difficulty. She didn't want to owe Si Lijue too much. This shawl was obviously something she couldn't afford. Such a luxury item didn't suit her. She couldn't wear it out.
Xia An sighed. She carefully put away the shawl. She would return it to Si Lijue when she left.
…
After He Nianchu returned to the house, she happily opened today's gifts and the shawl she liked.
But after looking around, she only found one. It was the shawl she had chosen.
"Didn't you take it?"
He Nianchu was suspicious.
She looked around the house but still couldn't find it.
Hao Youyou came in and saw He Nianchu looking around. She asked, "Miss He, what are you looking for?"
"Youyou, you came at the right time. I have a shawl that is missing."
"Ah? What kind of shawl is it? "
He Nianchu said, "It's pink and white."
Hao Youyou saw how anxious He Nianchu was and quickly said, "Miss He, don't worry. I'll look for it with you."
"Okay."
He Nianchu nodded.
The two of them searched the house together, but they still could not find the shawl. They asked another maid, but she also said that she did not see it.
"It must be that Xia An 'an!"
Hao Youyou was adamant.
He Nianchu was stunned. "Xia An 'an?"
Hao Youyou said, "Only the three of us have been in Miss He's room. Xiao Yue and I didn't see the shawl, so she must have stolen it. Miss He, when you were downstairs giving out gifts, you didn't see her either, right?"
He Nian heard that Xia An 'an indeed had no alibi.
However, she didn't think that Xia An 'an would have the guts to steal.
She said, "It's better to investigate this matter thoroughly."
"Miss He, why are you still so naive?"
Hao Youyou was a little anxious. "Don't be fooled by that Xia An 'an who looks like an honest person. She's very scheming. When she saw that Sir bought you so many gifts, she must be very jealous. Then she wanted to take your things for herself, but thinking of your kindness, she wasn't afraid that you would tell on her."
He Nianchu still frowned, thinking about the possibility of Hao Youyou's words.
In her opinion, Xia Anan would not do such a stupid thing. If it was just an inconspicuous gadget, it would be fine. Her things were all luxury goods, and the price of each item was not a small amount. If she was discovered, it would be obvious that she would be driven out of the villa.
"Miss He, if you don't believe me, we can search her room and see if the shawl is with her!"
Hao Youyou suggested.
He Nianchu was a little hesitant. He didn't agree with this idea. She shook her head and said, "If we slander her, Ah Jue will be angry."
He Nianchu didn't dare to take the risk. When Si Lijue still had some feelings for Xia An 'an, if he did such a thing, it would leave a bad impression on Si Lijue.
Seeing that He Nianchu was so cautious, Hao Youyou couldn't help but feel anxious.
She rolled her eyes and said, "If we can't do it openly, then we'll do it secretly. Miss He, I'll sneak into her room and see if she has the shawl. If she doesn't have it, then forget it. If she does, then we must catch this malignant tumor and kick her out of the villa!"
He Nianchu thought that this was a good idea.
She said again, "Then what if you're found out?"
Hao Youyou smiled and said, "For Miss He, what's there to be afraid of?"
He Nianchu was touched and said, "Youyou, you're so good. I won't mistreat you."
"It's my honor to be able to work for Miss He."
…
"Xia An 'an, go to the yard and pick a bouquet of flowers."
Hao Youyou said to Xia An 'an.
Xia An 'an didn't understand. "Why pick flowers?"
"Why are you asking so many questions?"
Hao Youyou was a little impatient, but when she thought of her plan, she suppressed her temper and said, "Miss He wants flowers. This isn't physical work. Don't tell me you're not even willing to do this?"
Xia An 'an didn't understand why Hao Youyou was so aggressive every time she saw her. She pursed her lips and said, "I didn't say I wasn't going."
She turned around and went downstairs. Hao Youyou added, "Send it directly to Miss He's room later!"
"Got it."
Seeing that Xia An 'an had gone downstairs, Hao Youyou hurriedly went into Xia An' an's room.
She quickly rummaged through Xia An 'an's room and finally found a very exquisite gift box in the closet. Hao Youyou's eyes lit up and she quickly took the gift box out. She opened it and saw that it was a pink shawl.
Hao Youyou was so excited that her hands trembled. She knew that the person who stole the shawl must be that ugly Xia An 'an!
She had found evidence!
Hao Youyou ran back to He Nianchu's room as fast as she could.
"Miss He, I found the shawl!"
He Nianchu stood up and said in surprise, "Youyou, where did you find the shawl?"
Hao Youyou said, "Where else could it be? Didn't I find it in Xia An 'an's room? You didn't believe that she stole it. Now that she has been caught red-handed, let's see what excuses she has! "
He Nianchu was also very excited.
She didn't expect Xia An 'an to do such a stupid thing.
She confirmed again, "Did you really find it in her room?"
Hao Youyou said excitedly, "It's absolutely true. Her fingerprints must be on it. Let's see how she denies it!"
He Nianchu quickly said, "Quickly put down the shawl. Don't let more fingerprints get on it."
"Okay!"
