Lu Moqing didn’t say anything, but just glanced at the delicate yellow silk wrapped gift box in Yan Ruyi’s hand, which contained a Duan inkstone, but it was now broken into pieces at this mont.
Yan Yufei was standing next to Yan Xu with a wronged expression on her face and looked a little annoyed.
At this mont, Qin Shuyi was also standing by Yan Yufei’s side, trying to comfort her:
"Alright, don’t be upset, just let your sister and brother-in-law check the surveillance footage."
Elder Mr. Lin’s face didn’t look very good at the mont. If it wasn’t for his birthday banquet and he didn’t want to disappoint the guests, he would have left by now.
What nonsense.
This family caused nothing but trouble since they arrived. Who would break such a good inkstone and who knows if it was broken before it was delivered?
The old man didn’t want to speculate with malice about others, but this family really got on his nerves.
Their words were insinuating that soone was deliberately targeting their family.
What did they take the Lin family for?
Elder Mr. Lin’s face darkened, saying: "I’m sorry, but in our ho, we’re all family mbers, and we don’t install surveillance caras."
Although the old man spoke with a mild tone, everyone still noticed the underlying anger in his voice, and no one dared to speak up.
At this mont, a servant from the Lin family walked to Yan Ruyi and handed her sothing resembling a necklace, "Young Mistress, this was found on the gift shelf."
Yan Ruyi’s eyebrows knitted unconsciously, and her gaze towards Qiaoxu beca sowhat complicated.
Yan Ruyi recognized this necklace, she had often seen Qiaoxu wearing it.
Qiaoxu also recognized the necklace at a glance when she saw the servant hand it to Yan Ruyi, as it was her own.
She got it when she was traveling to a remote town in the United States one year, and happened to encounter a tornado. At that ti, she saved a girl in her teens whose leg was injured by a collapsed house.
Afterward, the girl made this bracelet for her by hand.
That girl also told her that her ancestors were wizards, and the necklace could bring her peace.
Although Qiaoxu didn’t know if it was true or not, she accepted it as it was a token of the girl’s gratitude.
Later, she didn’t know if it was a coincidence or if the necklace really brought her peace, but she encountered danger several tis in Arica, and each ti she wore the necklace, she managed to escape unhard.
Since then, she had worn the necklace almost every day without taking it off.
Now, she didn’t know how she lost it.
Qiaoxu touched her empty neck and frowned.
She didn’t know when the necklace had fallen off, let alone why it was on the gift shelf, as she hadn’t been anywhere near there.
Lin family’s elders also heard the servant’s words naturally, and looked at the necklace in Yan Ruyi’s hand. Old Lady Lin asked:
"Ruyi, whose necklace is this?"
Yan Ruyi looked at Qiaoxu with a complicated expression, then glanced at her again, but before she could answer, Yan Yufei exclaid, "I recognize this necklace; this is..."
Yan Yufei’s words ca to a sudden stop when they reached her lips, as if she was hesitating to say anything, and she looked so wronged that tears seed to be filling her eyes.
She bit her lower lip, looking miserable without making a sound.
The Lin family’s elders were getting annoyed by her pretentious appearance, and just as they were about to speak, Qin Shuyi cut in before them, saying:
"Feifei, do you recognize this necklace? Do you know whose it is?"
