“Mom, are you back?”
When Lu Wenyuan turned around, he saw his mother carrying vegetables back, with a gloomy and frightened expression.
“Yeah.”
Xi Xiulian’s eyes were still not back from the direction of the car going away, and her voice was so vague that it was hard to hear clearly without listening carefully.
“That… is the girlfriend you mentioned…”
Xi Xiulian knew that her son had a girlfriend with whom he had been in a stable relationship for some time. It was said that she was very beautiful and her family was very rich.
Could it be that the girlfriend her son was talking about was the girl she had just seen at a glance?
Thinking of this, Xi Xiulian’s mind was a little dizzy.
Half a month ago, she did the most daring thing in her life, which was to steal the diamond ring she picked up from the toilet of the owner who hired her to work, thinking that after the storm was over, she would sell it at a discount and give it to her son as an investment fund.
Originally, Xi Xiulian thought that those rich people who lived in villas, drove luxury cars, and wore countless jewels would not care about a small diamond ring. But who knew that the girl who lost the diamond ring would be so persistent?
Not only did she call the housekeepers who were involved in the cleaning work to identify each other, but she also called the police, which made the matter so big that Xi Xiulian was almost scared out of her wits.
These days, she has not slept well at night.
Fortunately, there was no surveillance camera in the toilet, and the diamond ring was such a small item that could be hidden in the body and could not be captured by any surveillance video outside the toilet.
After that girl, that day, almost all the housekeepers responsible for cleaning the villa had entered and exited the toilet. The incident suddenly came to a stalemate, and without evidence, no one could do anything to her.
But even so, the people who worked that day were criticized by the agency. Somehow the matter got out, so recently the number of orders assigned to them had been decreasing.
It would be fine if the ring could be converted into cash, but the case was still pending at the police station.
Xi Xiulian only found out later that although the diamond ring that the girl lost was not large in carat weight, it was of very high purity and had its own unique code. Once such a diamond ring enters the market again, it will be easily discovered.
In other words, she couldn’t sell the diamond that was said to be worth nearly 500,000 yuan. This hot thing could only rot in her hands.
As a result, Xi Xiulian was even more suffocated.
She wanted to throw the diamond ring directly into the sewer, but she couldn’t bear to part with such a valuable thing. She could only wear the diamond ring on her rough fingers when no one was around, admire it for a while, and then hide the dangerous thing again.
“Mom doesn’t like that girl.”
Xi Xiulian had a gloomy face.
She didn’t like the girl who asked the supervisor to bring all of them, the domestic helpers, over for questioning. (T/N: Are you playing victim? Obviously, she called the supervisor because you stole her things, not for fun.)
Her condescending and disdainful attitude made it impossible for Xi Xiulian to find the dignity of a mother-in-law in front of her.
Especially since there was such a connection between the two of them, Xi Xiulian always felt as if she was inferior to her.
How suffocating it would be if she lived with the other party in the future?
“Mom, you misunderstood.”
Lu Wenyuan knew that his mother had misunderstood.
“It’s hot now. Let’s go back and talk about it.”
It’s already hot in July in Beijing. It’s not a comfortable thing to stand outside in the sun in the middle of summer.
“She is a senior who is interested in investing in my business. My girlfriend is a junior who is one year younger than me.”
Lu Wenyuan took the vegetables and fish from his mother’s hands.
Because he was going home for dinner today, Xi Xiulian specially bought some delicious dishes, including a few fresh river fish that were still alive and kicking.
“You have been dating for a while. When will you bring her to me?”
