4 Mothers Stolen Jewellery (2/2)

Li Xiuying felt herself calm and turned her attention back to suit 1. He was fiddling with what looked like a walkie-talkie in his hand. He bought it close to his ear.

Li Xiuying listened attentively. She heard some static and then a male voice ringing out.

Male voice: ”Make sure you find my wife's earring or you and your brother can collect your last pay cheque today.”

Li Xiuying eyes widened in surprise. It was the voice of her fiancé. Chen Wei!

Suit 1: ”Affirmative, we are now searching the back garden.”

A sweet female voice then rang out: ”I think it fell somewhere near where we had lunch on Friday”.

Who could it be except Li Yu Yan?

The man turned off his walkie-talkie and walked a few more steps before bending forward and picking up something between his thumb and forefinger. It was an earring.

Li Xiuying gazed at the earring with an intensity that could make a mountain crumble under its pressure.

It was her mother's earring.

When Li Xiuying's parents had passed away she inherited quite a few things which included a small box of her mother's jewellery.

Her aunt, Li Mei Wu had said she would put the jewellery box inside their safe and Li Xiuying could look at it whenever she wanted.

Only a few days had passed and the house was burgled. All the contents of the safe was taken including her mother's jewellery box.

After the burglar, Li Xiuying cried herself to sleep for a whole year. In her previous life, she had truly believed her mother's jewellery was stolen, never to be seen again. However, today the truth was finally revealed. Her mother's jewellery was in the hands of her selfish cousin.

Li Xiuying clenched her fists. In her mind she screamed: I must get it all back!!!

Suit 1 signaled to suit 2 to start heading inside. They both made their way back inside the house.

After what seemed like hours, Li Xiuying finally turned away from the house of horrors.
