Chapter 776: The Door Lock Wasn't Tampered With; How Did This Person Get In?
Qi Shufang blurted out directly: "Then go find another child for him elsewhere."
Qi's mother looked very embarrassed: "Yao Qidong said their family has a lineage inheritance, that everyone born carries a family mark on their body. Whether that's true or false is unclear, but we cannot afford to take this risk. Do you understand?"
Qi Shufang collapsed directly onto the ground: "Why am I so unlucky?"
Even though Qi's mother felt heartache, there was nothing she could do. She silently helped her daughter pack her things, since someone would soon come to pick up her brother and sister; they truly could not delay even a moment.
Sure enough, before she had finished packing, she heard a car arrive outside the courtyard gate: "Shufang, stop staring blankly. Hurry and pack the things on your dressing table."
Her words had barely fallen when she heard her eldest son Qi Xiucheng's voice: "Mom, is it packed? The car is here. If we're any later, we'll miss it."
Hearing her son's words, Qi's mother stopped worrying about selecting carefully and stuffed some things in haphazardly: "This will do for now. If anything is missing later, I'll mail it to you."
She gestured for her son to help lift his daughter, who had collapsed on the ground, sighed lightly, and took some things ahead, exiting the room first.
Regardless of whether Qi Shufang was willing or not, she was hurriedly sent away by her family just like that.
After they left, Qi's mother, with red eyes, said: "If not for that Fu family boy acting inhumanly, our Shufang would never have gone down the wrong path."
The Qi father and sons knew this matter could not be blamed on the Fu family boy, but facing this outcome, it was false to say they held no resentment toward Fu Yan Cheng in their hearts.
But more than that, they resented themselves for not guiding their granddaughter/daughter correctly, which allowed the situation to spiral out of control.
Fu Yan Cheng took Liu Chuxue to eat at the state-run restaurant before sending her back to the factory.
Originally, he had wanted to take her home for a meal, but seeing that Liu Chuxue was unwilling, he let it go: "Xue'er, I'll wait for you at the factory gate tomorrow."
Liu Chuxue tilted her head, smiling at him: "Actually, it's really unnecessary. With the Xiao family involved, how could we possibly suffer a loss?"
"Didn't you say your great-uncle will also come tomorrow? After all, the Liu family son grew up around them..."
He didn't continue further, fearing Liu Chuxue wouldn't want to hear it: "I won't go inside. I'll just guard outside. If anything happens, I can appear immediately."
"Alright then. You don't need to come too early. I've already told them I'll come to pick people up later."
The two stood not far from the factory gate, talking for quite a while before parting ways.
It was just that Liu Chuxue hadn't expected that, barely having entered her dormitory, a commotion broke out in the next room: "That watch cost me over half a year's wages! I usually can't bear to wear it. How can we just let this slide?"
"We absolutely cannot let this slide. We must have the Security Department come and search every dormitory one by one."
"Huang Aifang, what do you mean? Feng Xiaojuan herself hasn't even said to call the Security Department, yet you're making a scene."
"Xiaojuan and I are close; naturally, I can't stand by and watch her lose something without doing anything. Besides, now that a thief has broken into the dormitory building, if we don't find them this time, won't we all have to live in fear from now on? How frustrating would that be?"
Liu Chuxue finally understood. The watch Feng Xiaojuan had bought less than a month ago in the dormitory diagonally across had been stolen. Who knew which wretch had done it.
She was still carrying the snacks Fu Yan Cheng had bought for her, so she returned to her dormitory first to put the things away.
But when she opened her cabinet, she noticed something was wrong.
She stood up and went to the door, looking left and right, but found nothing amiss. The door lock showed no signs of tampering. How had this person gotten in?
