Liang Xiuqin was enraged, so she impatiently retorted, “Of course not! Can’t you see that she’s a thief?!”
The neighbor didn’t expect that her genuine concern would result in Liang Xiuqin yelling at her, instead. It was like she asked for trouble, so she scoffed before going to work with an ugly expression.
Two older women discussed as they walked away, “I think the girl who ran off is the real Yun Xi!”
“Why?”
“Didn’t you see her with the jade pendant used to confirm the arranged marriage with the Jiangs?”
“I did hear about that jade pendant, but didn’t the Yuns call her a thief?”
“Who knows if she is actually a thief or not? I heard that Liang Xiuqin’s eldest daughter is very unlucky, so she’s destined to bring misfortune to her family and is a star of death. She was sent to the countryside when she was two.”
“Then why did they ask her to come back now? And make such a fuss as well?”
“My husband says that Deputy Director Yun is set for promotion very soon, so there will be great hopes of him becoming Director if he could gain support from the Jiangs! Also, Liang Xiuqin is a very superst.i.tious person. Her eldest daughter brings misfortune to her entire family, so Liang Xiuqin hasn’t visited her for over ten years! So why else do you think she is asking for her daughter to come home at a time like this?”
“You mean that Liang Xiuqin actually accepted a fake daughter and kicked out her real daughter, who brings misfortune to the family?”
“That’s very possible. Otherwise, why would there be so much drama about the real and fake Yun Xi’s?”
“…”
At the entrance of the villa complex, Liang Xinyi chased after Yun Xi the entire time and panted loudly. Yet she didn’t see any sign of the other girl.
The security at the entrance saw that she was an unfamiliar face and was also someone who ran out of the villa complex, so he looked at Liang Xinyi with some surprise.
“Hey, who are you? Did something happen?”
Liang Xinyi panted loudly, “Hurry! Hurry up and help me catch that wretched girl! She stole my jade pendant!”
“Which family do you belong to? Why haven’t I seen you before!”
