“Mom, if it’s not convenient for you here, I’ll think of another way.”
Lu Wenyuan could hear the embarrassment in his mother’s words and looked a little disappointed.
“It’s okay. Mom will go to the bank to transfer the money to you in the next few days.”
Xi Xiulian couldn’t bear to see her son sad. On impulse, she took the money directly.
She still had more than 100,000 yuan in savings. At worst, she could shamelessly ask her brothers and sisters in her hometown to borrow some. Anyway, her son said that this investment had a high rate of return. At worst, she could borrow from relatives and friends at a price higher than the bank’s interest rate.
From the beginning to the end, Xi Xiulian never thought about what would happen if her son failed in his investment.
After hanging up the phone, Xi Xiulian walked to the sink and prepared to pick up the plastic gloves she had taken off and put it there.
Unexpectedly, when she was about to pick up the gloves and leave, she saw a small flashing object by the sink.
She picked it up curiously and saw that it was a diamond ring of about two or three carats.
She didn’t know whether it was real or fake, but under the light, the luster reflected by the diamond was particularly charming, and it didn’t look like a low-quality fake.
Xi Xiulian’s heart tightened immediately.
Although she was a woman from a small place, she knew the value of diamonds over one carat.
She guessed that this was probably an item accidentally left behind by a woman who came to the villa to attend the banquet today.
There was no camera in the bathroom, and the diamond ring was an item that could not be any smaller.
During the banquet during the day and the cleaning at night, there were countless guests and cleaners entering this bathroom.
Even if the police were called for an investigation, they could not find evidence that she took the diamond ring.
Xi Xiulian tightly grasped the diamond ring and subconsciously put it into her pocket.
When she realized what she had done, she felt her mouth dry, but she did not take out the ring again.
For those who attended the banquet, such a ring was just a small decoration among her many jewelry, but for her now, this ring represented her son’s future prospects.
Xi Xiulian comforted herself in her heart that it was not a big deal, and strictly speaking, it was also the fault of the person who lost the ring, right?
Maybe without her, the ring would fall into the sewer and lose its value.
Instead of this, it was better to leave it in the hands of someone who needed it more.
***
Ah Wu looked at the investigation results obtained by the private detective she commissioned.
The agency where Lu Wenyuan’s mother worked was recently complained about by a customer. The reason for the complaint was that the cleaning staff introduced by the agency was suspected of stealing.
It turned out that a villa resident held a banquet that day. Because the banquet left a mess, the villa’s nanny was short of manpower, so they hired a few hourly workers from the agency. As a result, a guest lost a diamond ring that day.
According to the surveillance of the living room closest to the bathroom, the guest was wearing the ring on her finger before entering the bathroom, but the ring disappeared after she came out of the bathroom.
According to the guest’s oral statement, the ring was most likely left in the bathroom because she took it off when cleaning her hands and then forgot to put it on again.
That guest entered the bathroom later, and by coincidence, the only people who entered the women’s bathroom after her were the cleaning staff.
In other words, it was most likely one of these cleaning staff who took the diamond ring.
It was a pity that there was no camera in the toilet, and the ring was a very small object. It could not be captured by the camera if placed anywhere on the body, and there was no guarantee whether the ring would be flushed down the sewer, so the matter was eventually left unresolved.
However, the villa owner still complained to the cleaning staff in charge of cleaning, and Lu Wenyuan’s mother was one of those cleaning staff.
Ah Wu looked through the investigation report and suddenly found a very interesting piece of news.
The girl who lost the diamond ring actually had the same name as Lu Wenyuan’s first wife in Ah Wu’s future memory.
Could she be the same person?
Ah Wu looked at the report and thought deeply.
In the previous life, when Lu Wenyuan and Wanwan reunited, he was already a widower.
At that time, the only two requirements of ‘Zhuo Wu’ for her daughter were to investigate the cause of Lu Wenyuan’s ex-wife’s death and to ensure that her assets were in her hands.
At that time, ‘Zhuo Wu’ was already exhausted and could not personally investigate what had happened in the more than ten years since the two separated.
Now facing such a coincidence, Ah Wu became more and more curious.
In the previous life, why did Lu Wenyuan’s first wife die?
Would this little episode that she investigated now have any special significance in this story?
“Hiss—”
Ah Wu felt a slight pain in her lower abdomen, but it was not a fetal movement, but more like the baby in her belly protesting against her excessive worry during pregnancy.
Ah Wu touched her stomach, put the report aside, touched her already bulging belly, and then put this doubt deep in her heart.
Happy Tuesday, everyone! I hope you have a wonderful day!
