At this point, she deliberately paused to observe their reactions.
…
Xiao Ruoxuan clearly looked a little guilty, but Madam Xiao became even more puzzled. She asked, “What exactly are you trying to say?”
Xiao Ying roughly knew that this matter should be related to Xiao Ruoxuan. She said, “This amulet is fake.”
She placed the amulet on the table in front of them.
Madam Xiao’s first reaction was that it was impossible. Then, she said with a dark expression, “I think you’re deliberately looking for trouble. How could this amulet be fake?”
Xiao Ruoxuan secretly went upstairs. Xiao Ying wanted to chase after her but was stopped by Madam Xiao.
Her hand went straight for Xiao Ying’s hair, and her eyes were filled with hatred. If she really succeeded, she would probably be able to get rid of a bunch of her hair. Xiao Ying had no choice but to give up on chasing Xiao Ruoxuan and dodge to the side.
Madam Xiao continued to shout. Her life had been going awry in the past few years and Xiao Lingbo’s neglect had made her lose all her good manners. A small matter could drive her crazy.
Xiao Ying could only retreat. As soon as she came out, she heard a girl’s voice. “Miss Ruoxuan is a very good person. Don’t talk about her behind my back. Last time, I lost her things. She wasn’t even angry. She even helped me wipe my tears.”
Lost her things…
This phrase caught Xiao Ying’s attention. In this situation, she was somewhat sensitive to these words.
She deliberately bumped into the girl as she walked out. Both of them took a few steps back. When they stabilized themselves, the girl said in a panic, “Sorry, Miss. I didn’t notice you. I’m really sorry.”
She bowed repeatedly in panic.
Her behavior made Xiao Ying a little embarrassed. After all, she had been the one who had bumped into her. However, in order to achieve her goal, she could only pretend to be arrogant and say, “Are you even watching where you’re going? How dare you bump into me?”
The girl shuddered in fear and apologized profusely.
Xiao Ying said coldly, “How are you going to apologize for this?”
The girl looked at her blankly, not knowing what to do.
Xiao Ying suddenly bent down and said, “If you tell me what you were talking about before, I’ll let you off, okay?”
The girl asked in confusion, “What is it?”
Xiao Ying said, “You were the one who said that you lost Xiao Ruoxuan’s things?”
The girl was stunned for a moment before recalling this matter. Thinking that it wouldn’t do any harm to the Xiao family, she told them about what had happened that day. “I helped Miss Ruoxuan get the trash, and then she was very anxious at night. In the end, she didn’t blame me.”
Seeing the look on this little girl’s face, Xiao Ying shook her head. She was really a child. Xiao Ruoxuan was much more terrifying than this.
When Xiao Ying found out about what had happened, the coldness on her face disappeared. She smiled and stroked her head. “Alright, everything’s fine now. You can go back to work. Don’t take what just happened to heart.”
The girl looked at the gentle Xiao Ying and heaved a sigh of relief. Even though Xiao Ying had been so fierce to her just now, as long as she showed her some kindness, she would think that she was a good person.
Such a simple girl made Xiao Ying smile knowingly. Before she left, she called out to her and handed her a business card. “You can come to me if you have any trouble.”
The girl took the business card in confusion and smiled brightly at her.
At this time, she did not know that this business card would save her life in the near future.
After Xiao Ying left the Xiao family, she told Cheng Yang about this. It would be good if the amulet was only lost, but if anything happened to it, it would be troublesome.
When Cheng Yang received her message, he immediately changed the direction of his investigation and started investigating all the waste recovery stations in the city.
