Qin Xiangyang wasn’t worried about thieves in the house, after all, they had a military dog, and ordinary people would be scared just by hearing Conghua barking. Moreover, the security in the area was good, thieves wouldn’t dare to co, and there weren’t many valuable items at ho, but it wasn’t few either. It wouldn’t make sense to steal just a screen, would it? That would be foolish.
The value of that screen, people outside the Qin family wouldn’t know.
Moreover, sothing that big couldn’t just be openly moved. When it was brought in, it took several large n to carry it.
"Granny, don’t worry, let ask around first, big items can’t just be taken away like that."
Qin Xiangyang comforted Granny Lu, then left so classmates to stay with her while he went out to inquire. Right, he also made a phone call to Jian Zhiqing.
"Hello, Brother Jian, it’s Xiangyang. Sothing has happened at ho..."
Soon after, Jian Zhiqing ca back, along with Qin Xiangyang.
"What did you find out?" Jian Zhiqing had co back as soon as he heard about it. After all, the value of the Qingming River Painting wasn’t about how much money it was worth. To put it bluntly, it could be considered a national treasure, containing so extinct embroidery techniques, so its real value lies there, not in the 100,000 yuan Mr. Song gave.
"I found sothing," Qin Xiangyang was sweating profusely, "The old man from the small shop said that today a woman went there to make a phone call about hiring a vehicle to move sothing, and said it was the one living with us who went with her. He rembered clearly because last ti she spent over thirty yuan on long-distance charges and almost didn’t want to pay. Granny, did Qin Xiangi bring soone over today?"
"Yes," Granny Lu couldn’t help but complain when talking about it, "Qin Xiangi had already said she would bring classmates over today and asked not to co back early. When I ca back, the house was a ss, and while I was tidying up, I noticed the screen was missing," as she talked, Granny Lu started to cry. She cared for that beautiful screen every day, wiping it ticulously, and it was lost just like that.
"Granny, it’s okay," Jian Zhiqing comforted Granny Lu, worried that she might take it too hard, "We will find it back."
Qin Xiangyang was so angry that he slamd the table hard. Qin Xiangi was really a troublemaker. It wasn’t her property, how could she just let people take it away? Others didn’t have a very good impression of Qin Xiangyang’s sister either, knowing that troubles arise whenever she’s involved, but still, it was Qin Xiangyang’s family matter, and they couldn’t say much.
By the ti Qin Xiangi ca back with large and small bags, she found the living room light on and everyone there.
Qin Xiangi was sowhat guilty, especially holding a big pile of stuff, and the looks those people gave her made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Qin Xiangi, aren’t you going to explain?"
Qin Xiangnuan coldly stared at the large and small bags in Qin Xiangi’s arms.
"What do I have to explain?" Qin Xiangnuan flicked her hair, looking proud as she walked into her room, and slamd the door shut.
"Bang bang..."
A knocking sound ca from outside, just as Qin Xiangi had put down the stuff and was getting annoyed by the noise. She hadn’t even tried on her new clothes yet, how annoying?
"I want to rest, don’t disturb ," she yelled at the door.
The knocking outside stopped for a mont, then resud frantically again.
Keep knocking, Chun Xiangi sneered, keep knocking to death, she wouldn’t open the door.
However, within monts, there was a click sound. Qin Xiangi, who was trying on a new dress, suddenly heard the sound of a key turning in the door. Before she could react, the door was already open. Qin Xiangyang pulled out the key from the door, disgusted by Qin Xiangi’s attitude.
The screen they didn’t want to part with for even 100,000 yuan, Qin Xiangi just managed to lose it.
Did she give it away or sell it? They didn’t know yet. But considering these clothes, even a fool could tell where they ca from. Given the Qin Family’s financial condition, how could they possibly give Qin Xiangi money to buy so much stuff?
"Qin Xiangyang, what are you doing?" Qin Xiangi, as if crazed, clung fiercely to the clothes on her body, her face turning both green and red. Thankfully, she wasn’t naked; had she really been stripped of all but a few threads, she would have died of sha. Even though he’s her brother, he shouldn’t be seeing her unclothed.
"Qin Xiangyang, are you even a man? You watch your own sister change clothes and you call yourself a soldier? Have you learned nothing but dog’s digested food at military school?" Qin Xiangi cursed more fiercely the more she spoke, growing angrier and more aggrieved. Why should everyone pick on her? Just why?
Qin Xiangyang frowned, itching to give the tearful and snotty Qin Xiangi a beating.
"Co with ."
He didn’t allow Qin Xiangi to refuse and directly grabbed her by the collar and threw her into the living room.
"What are you doing?" Qin Xiangi forcefully shook off Qin Xiangyang’s hand and attempted to walk outside.
"Woof woof..." At that mont, Conghua rushed out from inside and stood in front of her, barking desperately at her.
Seeing Conghua drooling, Qin Xiangi scread in terror.
"Co here, Conghua," Qin Xiangnuan called softly.
Reluctantly shaking his big tail, Conghua walked over to Qin Xiangnuan and crouched down, occasionally licking his paws, his sharp dog eyes staring intently at Qin Xiangi.
This tribunal-like situation honestly frightened Qin Xiangi.
"What are you going to do?" She clutched her clothes tightly, darting her eyes about, not daring to look directly at anyone’s face.
"Qin Xiangi."
Qin Xiangyang was still hurting in his chest from anger, "Tell , where did you take the screen? Bring it back imdiately. At your young age, why would you choose to be a thief?"
These words were a direct slap to Qin Xiangi’s face.
Furious, Qin Xiangi lunged at Qin Xiangyang, punching and kicking him. She was a spitting image of Hu Li—like mother, like daughter. Qin Xiangyang, being a grown man, couldn’t bring himself to hit a woman, so he could only dodge without retaliating.
Qin Xiangnuan placed her hand on Conghua’s head, her long lashes casting a slightly excessive chilly shadow as they flicked up.
"You sell her for how much? I’ll pay ten tis that."
These icy words pierced Qin Xiangi, chilling her body.
Qin Xiangnuan paused, her gaze falling on Qin Xiangnuan, unclear if she was calling herself or Qin Xiangnuan foolish.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing?" Qin Xiangnuan pinched Conghua’s pointed ear, and Conghua obediently stayed still, but turned up his nose at Qin Xiangi, showing quite a disdainful expression.
