Chapter 222: Belongings Left Behind By Mother
Mu Cuiyun choked again after hearing her words.
Mu Tianwei had always been pretending to be a benevolent father in order to win Luo Zheng’s trust.
Only then would Luo Zheng be willing to transfer all of her assets to Mu Tianwei when she turns 18 years old.
Hence, regardless of how willful she was, Mu Tianwei would support her to the very end!
“So, are you guys going to admit to it or are you going to wait for the police to arrive?”
Luo Zheng leaned against the railing calmly and stared at them sultrily.
Su Xuanxuan bit her lip while jealousy grew within her.
Back then, Luo Huawei was the top socialite in Beijing who was famous for her beauty.
Luo Zheng did inherit her good looks.
However, before she turned fifteen, she was still rather puerile-looking and her features had yet to develop… In the past two years, Luo Zheng got influenced by her best friend, Jiang Xinlei, into putting on heavy makeup and ruining her beauty!
Over time, everyone almost thought that she looked exactly that way.
Su Xuanxuan did not expect Luo Zheng to suddenly become sensible and stop putting on that horrendous makeup.
The more she looked at Luo Zheng, the more she felt that the latter was beautiful, outstanding and very eye catching.
“Well, Mr. and Mrs. Gu are going to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary in a few days! I’m sure you know that the Gu Family is one of the four major families and everyone is envious of their loving relationship! This time, they sent out invites and the Mu Family was, of course, invited… ”
Ripples formed in Luo Zheng’s heart.
Mr. and Mrs. Gu were Gu Changye’s parents and it was true that they were married for 30 years… but, were they really loving? Hah, what a ridiculous joke meant for deceiving the foolish ones!
Luo Zheng was unsure of what the Mu Family people wanted to find at first.
However, after what Mu Cuiyun said, she was rather certain!
Mu Cuiyun’s eyes glistened and he said, “Zheng, we were invited so we definitely have to bring some gifts! Jade would be the most suitable option! Unfortunately, we couldn’t find anything after searching for a long time. Well, we suddenly remembered you have a crimson jade and we were wondering if we could use it as a gift. That’s why we searched your room… ”
Indeed, it was just like what she guessed!
“So that’s what happened!”
Luo Zheng was suddenly enlightened and she asked smilingly, “Is there a word ‘Wei’ engraved on that piece of jade?”
“Yes, yes, yes, it’s that piece! Cousin, you used to wear it on your neck, didn’t you?”
Su Xuanxuan immediately asked, glancing at Luo Zheng to see if she had any other accessories.
Luo Zheng folded her arms and looked at them in disdain. She gibed, “That piece of jade was left behind by my mother! Yet, you want to use it as a gift? Grandma, Aunt, Cousin, are you guys out of your minds?”
The three of them were instantly displeased. Mu Cuiyun answered, “We failed to consider that point. Zheng, why don’t you take that piece of jade out so that we can consider it?”
Li Shufen’s and Su Xuanxuan’s eyes glistened. Brilliant idea! They thought.
To their surprise, Luo Zheng exclaimed, “Unfortunately, you guys are a little slow! A few days ago, I accidentally broke the jade and threw it away… ”
“What did you say!?!”
The three of them were flabbergasted. Li Shufen screamed and her voice was extremely clear.
“That piece of jade may be a bit old so there are many cracks on it. I found it to be really ugly so I haven’t been wearing it! Unexpectedly, when I suddenly fell down, I threw it out of the window. It should still be around the mansion… why don’t you guys try searching for it? Maybe you can find it! ”
Luo Zheng then pointed at the window innocently.
The three of them suddenly saw a glimmer of hope.
Li Shufen was still feeling infuriated and almost bore a hole in the ground. “Evil girl, you’re really horrendous! Do you know… ”
“Know what?”
Luo Zheng cocked her head towards the side and poked her lips with her finger.
Mu Cuiyun immediately pulled Li Shufen away and answered smilingly, “Mother meant to say that this is Sister-in-law’s belonging so you shouldn’t throw it around!”
Suddenly reminded of something, she added, “Look, isn’t it easy to clear the misunderstanding? Silly child, don’t call the police randomly! Get some rest, we won’t disturb you… ”
Mu Cuiyun then hinted for Su Xuanxuan to help Li Shufen out, after which they hurried downstairs.
Luo Zheng was extremely disgusted with the Mu Family and could not be bothered to talk to them.
She glanced at her messy room and entered before locking the door.
She then walked towards the dressing table, leaned forward and stuck a hand into a drawer, ignoring the messy cosmetic products.
She slowly opened it and fumbled about. She then found a cold object.
Luo Zheng then walked towards the window.
She noticed that Li Shufen, Mu Cuiyun and Su Xuanxuan were gesturing for the servants to look around.
“Hah, how interesting!”
Luo Zheng sneered and looked down at her hand.
She opened her palm to reveal the shiny piece of crimson jade!
