Chapter 1125: Being Wrongfully Accused

Qin Yiyan's concession made the tightness in Liu Xin'ai's chest suddenly ease.

Her eyes also regained their light!

Qin Yiyan did not miss the look in her eyes, and his mood suddenly became somewhat subtle.

This woman finally had a bit of vitality.

That lifeless appearance from before was truly annoying!

Qin Yiyan forcibly changed his true thoughts, turned his head to the side, and put on an indifferent expression.

Liu Xin'ai did not notice the change in his expression, but said impatiently, "Then you two chat slowly, I'm going to the Laboratory first."

What, going now?

Qin Yiyan did not expect Liu Xin'ai to act so quickly; he had originally wanted to say something more.

But in the end, his lips only moved, and he said nothing.

Bai Yufei watched Liu Xin'ai's back with curiosity.

By the way, she stirred up trouble again: "Sister-in-law really loves work, she's just like a workaholic. Brother, don't you feel neglected because of this?"

As Bai Yufei spoke, she observed Qin Yiyan's reaction.

But to her disappointment, Qin Yiyan's expression did not change at all.

He even explained for Liu Xin'ai: "She also wants to help her father get rid of his illness sooner."

Qin Yiyan's explanation left Bai Yufei looking confused.

Liu Xin'ai's father is sick?

What illness?

Is it serious?

Bai Yufei suddenly realized that she really knew very little about Liu Xin'ai.

Before, she felt that driving Liu Xin'ai away was a piece of cake and wouldn't take much time.

However, now...

It seems she needs to change her way of thinking!

Monday morning—Xiao'an should have gone to the Laboratory with Liu Xin'ai.

But the bento she was preparing for Liu Xin'ai wasn't finished yet, so Liu Xin'ai told her to go over a little later.

However, just as Xiao'an was preparing the bento...

The sound of things being thrown and smashed suddenly came from outside the kitchen!

The commotion was not small, attracting quite a few people nearby to watch the excitement.

Xiao'an also went over and hurriedly asked the short-haired maid beside her:

"What's going on?"

"Miss Bai says her necklace is missing."

"Then look for it slowly, why is she smashing things?"

"It's because she can't find it, I guess if she still can't find it, she's going to lose her temper at us!"

As the words fell, Bai Yufei walked out of the room aggressively.

She shouted angrily at the servants: "Speak, who stole my things! Confess now, and I will let bygones be bygones!"

This was a serious accusation, and no one responded to Bai Yufei.

The crowd's silence made Bai Yufei even angrier; she nodded and sneered: "No one is confessing, right? Then I will search room by room!"

Hearing this decision, the butler looked troubled.

He prepared to persuade Bai Yufei, but before he could speak, Bai Yufei ordered him: "Have everyone stand in the living room, and then, you come with me to search!"

"But Miss, this..."

"What, you won't listen to me? Or do you think I don't even have the right to make decisions in this house!?"

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare!"

"Then do as I say!"

Under Bai Yufei's heavy pressure, the butler was also helpless.

In the end, he had no choice but to follow her instructions.

Xiao'an stood among the servants, feeling a bit anxious.

There were many rooms in this villa; if Bai Yufei really searched them one by one... half a day would pass!

If she had nothing to do, she wouldn't mind standing here bitterly.

But she had a task; she still had to deliver the bento to Liu Xin'ai!

Xiao'an became increasingly anxious; she even wanted to let Bai Yufei search her own room first, if there was no problem...

"Found it!!!"

Hearing the low voice, Xiao'an looked up.

Only to discover...

Bai Yufei and the butler were walking out of her room!

In that instant, Xiao'an panicked, feeling that something was very wrong!

Bai Yufei, however, looked triumphant.

She held a necklace in her hand and questioned Xiao'an haughtily: "Tell me, what is this about?"

"I, I don't know either..."

"How could you not know! It's true that I was in the wrong before and hit you, but didn't I have someone apologize to you on my behalf last night? How could you still steal my things because you wanted to take revenge on me?!"

Bai Yufei convicted Xiao'an in just a few words.

The people around them also looked at Xiao'an with suspicion and uncertainty.

But Xiao'an was very wronged, and she shouted loudly: "I didn't steal anything!!"

!

"Then how do you explain this necklace? You don't think someone framed you on purpose, do you?"

Xiao'an did not know what the specific situation was either.

But she could be certain that the loss of the necklace had nothing to do with her at all!

Xiao'an lifted her head, ready to argue her case and fight for herself.

But just at this moment, the short-haired maid who had been talking to Xiao'an just a moment ago stepped forward: "This morning, I saw Xiao'an sneaking out of the young lady's room..."

Hearing this, Xiao'an suddenly felt as if the blood in her whole body was flowing backward.

She was both furious and helpless, and her body was even trembling.

Finally, she used all her strength to shout at the liar: "You are lying! Why do you want to frame me?!"

"Shut up, is this a place for you to be shouting and screaming!?"

Bai Yufei revealed an expression of disgust and added: "Now that there is both human and physical evidence, you have no way to quibble!"

"It's not like that, I..."

Before Xiao'an could finish speaking, Bai Yufei domineeringly demanded of the butler: "Someone with such poor character cannot be kept; she must be driven away! And we must spread the word about what she has done, to see which employer would dare to hire such a person in the future!"

The butler understood Xiao'an quite well and knew that this child would not be light-fingered.

Now, to have him help Bai Yufei act recklessly...

He felt a bit unable to bear it!

Seeing that the butler did not respond, Bai Yufei raised an eyebrow, her voice carrying a threat: "What, are you trying to shield her?"

"No, no, I was just thinking it would be better to investigate more clearly."

"With both human and physical evidence present, what else is there to investigate? I think you are all collectively ostracizing me! When my brother returns, I will tell him about all of your behavior!

!!"

The butler knew how much Qin Yiyan doted on this younger sister; if Qin Yiyan believed Bai Yufei's words...

Then not only he, but everyone present would be in trouble!

The butler did not want to cause trouble, and he could not protect Xiao'an now anyway.

Therefore...

He looked at Xiao'an apologetically and could only say: "You should go pack your things; afterwards, your wages will be settled for you."

Xiao'an had originally hoped that the butler could help her uphold justice.

She did not expect...

Xiao'an's eyes slowly turned red, but she did not yield; she held her head high and accused Bai Yufei: "I didn't steal the necklace, you cannot frame me like this!!!"

"Then find some evidence to prove your innocence, otherwise, get out of here immediately!"

Bai Yufei turned and left triumphantly.

And Xiao'an remembered the person who had just committed perjury to frame her...

Xiao'an rushed over in a few steps, grabbed the short-haired maid's arm, and questioned her: "Why did you frame me? I haven't even been to the young lady's room today?!"
