Chapter 46

Su Xiyan's face showed panic, "How could this be, how could there be a necklace here?"

Yan Ningyue said proudly, "Naturally it's just that you stole it and then dropped it here."

Su Xiyan doubted, "But if one stole such a valuable necklace, wouldn't one normally hide it carefully, afraid of being discovered?"

Yan Ningyue rolled her eyes, "Hah, you ask me? Who knows if you were just momentarily overjoyed and careless, or if you didn't place it properly when you secretly brought it?"

Su Xiyan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, sister, your analysis makes perfect sense."

Yan Ningyue stomped her feet, "Don't call me sister! Su Xiyan, aren't you ashamed of stealing the necklace? How can you say such shameless words!"

Soon grandfather will come back, I will definitely make grandfather drive you away!

Su Xiyan tilted her head to look at Yan Ningyue, "Sister, are you really sure you want to bring this matter to grandfather?"

Yan Ningyue arrogantly lifted her head, "Of course! Otherwise, how would grandfather know what kind of person you are!"

"Today I will definitely make grandfather drive you away!"

Su Xiyan nodded solemnly, "In that case, let's wait for grandfather to return and decide."

Yan Ningyue proudly gave a cold snort, "Hah, I see you're unable to refute, so you simply gave up resisting."

Su Xiyan turned her head to look at Yan Ningyue, she smiled faintly, "No, sister, I'm just not feeling well today."

"It just so happens you bumped into my gun barrel again, so I think one time will make you obedient."

"So that in a short time, even thinking of my name makes you tremble with fear, let alone coming again to seek abuse."

Looking at Su Xiyan's gaze, Yan Ningyue's back actually felt waves of chill.

Faced with Su Xiyan's harsh words, she instinctively wanted to retort, but for some reason her heart kept pounding.

Not long after, Yan Laotaiye returned from outside.

Seeing the scene in the room, Yan Laotaiye furrowed her brows.

"What's going on? Why are we all in the hall, Moci's body can't always be sitting in a wheelchair!"

"Ningyue? How could you be at the old residence?"

Seeing the old lady, Yan Ningyue spoke first, pointing aggressively at Su Xiyan and saying:

"Grandfather! I came today to look for Mother's necklace, but I never expected this woman to actually have stolen the necklace!"

"Catch them red-handed! Just now, Steward Liu and Moci's brother Dongzi both saw it!"

The old lady frowned at Su Xiyan, "Xiwei, is this really true?"

Su Xiyan smiled, "Ningyue sister indeed found the necklace in my and Moci's room, but the necklace wasn't stolen by me."

Yan Ningyue shouted angrily, "Xiwei, I never expected that at this point you would still dare to make excuses!"

Su Xiyan looked at Yan Ningyue, "I am not making excuses."

"Because, this necklace was originally what you threw there in the chaos right after you entered the room, isn't it?"

Unexpectedly, Su Xiyan could so precisely expose her plot, Yan Ningyue's breath became unsteady for a moment.

But she still put on a fierce front and said, "On what basis do you say that?"

Su Xiyan gave a subtle, speechless eye roll, then turned her head and coldly said:

"It's quite simple; sister perhaps has never lived in the old residence, doesn't know its routine, and is too anxious, so the whole scheme of framing and blaming is really clumsy."

"First, my and Moci's room is cleaned every day by a dedicated person, once in the morning, once at noon, and once in the evening."

"And just before you barged in, Zhang Ma had only just finished cleaning; she is always meticulous, so if I had truly dropped the necklace there, Zhang Ma would certainly have tidied it up for me."

"Second, whether in the hallway or at the entrance to my and Moci's room, there are surveillance cameras, which the old lady had installed fearing someone might secretly harm Moci when she is not around."

"And according to where you just found the necklace, I think your actions were likely recorded by the surveillance without any discrepancy."

"Finally, you say this necklace is one I stole, but you probably don't know that the old lady already gave me a secondary card."

"No limit, I can swipe it however I want; if I want to buy something, I just buy it myself, so why would I need your lousy secondhand necklace that a dead person wore?"

"What Lady Huan Yu likes, sorry, I only find it unlucky."

After saying that, Su Xiyan turned her head and nodded to Yan Laotaiye, saying:

"Grandfather, actually this matter is very simple; Xiwei insists on waiting for you to return before handling it, and indeed she wanted to give Ningyue a warning, so please don't think Xiwei is overly scheming."

"I am after all the sister-in-law, Ningyue is a junior; if I don't establish my position today, then later the servants will surely laugh at us."

"Hahaha!"

Yan Laotaiye laughed,

"'Xiwei, you did very well!"

"'Even when faced with such direct slander, you remain completely calm and unflustered, showing no trace of panic!"

"'You bear the demeanor of my younger days; looking at this, letting you be Moci's wife, you two are truly a match made in heaven!"

"'Just standing there, you exude authority without anger, possessing an aura that commands the whole scene!"

Yan Laotaiye was full of admiration for Su Xiyan.

Yan Ningyue could only stand awkwardly to the side, gazing at Su Xiyan with a resentful, vicious expression.

Noticing Yan Ningyue's gaze, Su Xiyan suddenly thought, "Speaking of which, I wonder why sister Ningyue suddenly decided to barge into the old residence?"

"'And she wouldn't even listen to Steward Liu's advice to stop, insisting on rushing into my and Moci's room—could it be that she came specially to frame me?"

"'Or perhaps sister Ningyue actually has some other purpose for coming this time?"

"'For example, barging into Moci's room to do something else?"

Hearing Su Xiyan's words, Yan Huaian's eyes also became thoughtful.

Faced with Yan Laotaiye's such sinister gaze, Yan Ningyue could barely hold her ground, she gritted her teeth and spoke in panic:

"'Grandfather! Don't listen to her nonsense!"

"'I'm just upset that Mother was driven away, so I came to vent my anger on her."

Yan Laotaiye coldly turned her gaze away, evidently not wanting to hear Yan Ningyue's explanation.

「Ningyue, this time Moci's birthday party。」

You and Huan Yu just don't come; wait until you can set aside those other thoughts, then we can talk about stepping through the gate of the Yan Family Old Residence。」

Yan Ningyue cried out resentfully: 「Grandfather! How could you! If I can't go to Moci's older brother's birthday party, do you not know how people outside will mock me! 」

I am the eldest daughter of the Yan Family! 」

After saying that, Yan Laotaiye turned and left。

Leaving Yan Ningyue alone on the spot, her face full of resentment。

Only Yan Ningyue was left alone on the spot, her face full of resentment.
