Ah! The Villains I Forced to Turn Evil Can Read My Mind-Chapter 182: How Much Did You Steal?

The tea party was proceeding smoothly.

Yu Can sat next to Mrs. Wang, chatting with her, a smile on her face.

Lan Ying sat on the other side of Mrs. Wang and finally found a chance to speak: "Mrs. Wang, let me introduce you to Miss Xia Xuechun, a rising young painter in the art world."

She gently gestured to Xia Xuechun: "Come, Xuechun, hurry and say hello to Mrs. Wang."

Xia Xuechun took a deep breath, easing her nervousness, and quickly stepped forward.

She was gently bumped on the shoulder.

Xia Xuechun looked confused.

A handsome bodyguard nodded at her: "Sorry."

She disdainfully patted her shoulder where she was bumped and walked up to Mrs. Wang: "Grandma Wang."

Mrs. Wang looked at her, her eyes widening in surprise, and froze.

Qiao Chuchu silently appeared in the corner, letting out a cold laugh.

["Come, come, take a look at Mrs. Wang’s eyes. She’s clearly thinking: This is the merchandise of my granddaughter."]

["And Xia Xuechun’s behavior is clearly saying: Yes, I am your granddaughter's merchandise."]

["Lan Ying’s mindset is: Look at my good connections, I found the closest thing to Mrs. Wang's beloved granddaughter as a trap for her, I don't believe these two won’t end up together."]

Wei Sheng Yu Can and Wen Zhan: "?"

They both looked at Qiao Chuchu, both nervous and mocking.

Was she narrating in the background?

Qiao Chuchu didn’t notice their looks, her expression gradually growing serious.

["Knowing Xia Xuechun looks like Mrs. Wang’s deceased granddaughter, with this connection as a bond, I naively wanted to please Mrs. Wang. Was I kicked in the head by a donkey?"]

["But Mrs. Wang is also from the painting world, one of the top bigwigs in China. I’ve admired this bigwig since I was young, so trying to please and assist a senior better than me seemed natural."]

["But I never used my brain, like a fool following her around, and in the end, I had nothing to show for it."]

Qiao Chuchu narrowed her eyes: ["I need to surpass Mrs. Wang to relieve this bitterness in my chest!"]

Wen Zhan’s gaze gradually deepened.

Yu Can looked at Qiao Chuchu with delight.

Did she want to take down the old Mrs. Wang?

She absolutely supported that! She’d even prepare a reward for it!

Yu Can and Wei Sheng Wen Zhan both took out their phones at the same time and sent a message to their respective drivers: "Bring my newly ordered sports car to the clubhouse now."

On the other side, Lan Ying and Xia Xuechun exchanged looks.

Lan Ying blinked: "Did you put the thing inside?"

Xia Xuechun nodded: "Yes, I did."

Lan Ying nodded.

She wanted to avenge her brother, so she specially stole the old lady's precious bracelet.

The bracelet was given to Mrs. Wang by her late granddaughter. It wasn’t very valuable, but it held significant meaning for Mrs. Wang.

If Qiao Chuchu was found to have stolen it, her reputation would be ruined, and everything would fall apart! This would also affect Wei Sheng Yu Can who brought her here!

She had meddled in their family’s plans, even called the police on her brother!!

Lan Ying and Xia Xuechun exchanged another look.

They saw the winning light in each other's eyes.

Let’s begin then!

Lan Ying opened her mouth: "Old Madam, you—"

Wei Sheng Yu Can was already ahead of her, "Ah? Old Madam, where’s your bracelet?"

The reason she brought it up first was because Wen Zhan had already told her that Lan Ying and Xia Xuechun had conspired to frame Qiao Chuchu.

This was her side’s scheme, so it was better for her to bring it up.

Lan Ying and Xia Xuechun were surprised, then sneered at Yu Can dismissively.

Who would have thought? The bracelet was in your dear Miss Qiao’s hands!

Wen Zhan sat on the other side, watching the subtle expressions of the two and calmly looking at Qiao Chuchu.

His bodyguard had already placed the gold bracelet back and even added a few other things.

This scheme to frame Qiao Chuchu was sure to succeed.

Qiao Chuchu gave him a casual glance.

Wen Zhan, who had been calm, furrowed his brow slightly at this moment, no longer as domineering as before, now pondering something darkly.

Mrs. Wang looked down and saw that her bracelet was missing, her face changing immediately: "Ah! Where is my bracelet?! Quickly help me look for it!"

The waiter hurriedly began searching, and after five minutes, the club manager apologetically said: "I’ve searched everywhere, and even checked the surveillance, but the cameras are broken. I’m truly sorry, Mrs. Wang."

Mrs. Wang’s face darkened: "So you’re telling me my granddaughter’s bracelet is lost here and there’s no way to check the surveillance?"

The atmosphere instantly turned cold.

Wei Sheng Yu Can tried to soothe her: "Don’t be upset, Old Madam, maybe it just fell somewhere they missed. We’ll definitely find it."

Lan Ying sneered: "Oh, maybe someone found it and is too greedy to return it? Maybe someone stole it?"

The others disagreed: "No way, how could someone here steal a gold bracelet? It’s not worth much."

Xia Xuechun spoke up: "I think stealing isn’t about money, it’s more about the thrill. Even rich people have their odd quirks, don’t they?"

This statement left everyone silent.

...Well, that does make some sense.

Mrs. Wang’s gaze suddenly sharpened: "So, someone here took my bracelet while I wasn’t paying attention? Who was it? Could it have been one of the waiters?!"

The waiter looked ridiculous, his eyes wide with innocence!

Xia Xuechun’s eyes shifted, and she sweetly spoke: "I think Miss Pei, the eighth young lady of the Pei family, is quite suspicious."

She looked at Qiao Chuchu: "After all, I just saw her sneaking around earlier."

The guests around the round table turned their heads, all eyes turning to look at Qiao Chuchu.

The gazes were filled with anticipation, as if they were watching a good show.

Mrs. Wang looked coldly at Qiao Chuchu: "Miss Pei, don’t you think you should explain yourself?"

Qiao Chuchu tilted her head and gave her a calm glance: "Explain what? Whatever she says must be true. You’ve lived so long, your brain should not be just for decoration, right?"

Mrs. Wang: "?"

Qiao Chuchu sneered.

She thought back to herself in the first timeline.

Back then, Xia Xuechun framed her, and she was furious: "I’ve never seen any bracelet."

Xia Xuechun taunted her: "If you didn’t do it, then search me!"

At the time, she spread her hands and let the bodyguard search her: "Go ahead! Search me!"

The waiter happily searched her pocket and found the bracelet.

She was happily shocked.

And happily thrown out.

And happily got a bad reputation in the circle.

Qiao Chuchu snapped back from the memory, slowly showing a confident smile: "By the way, I saw Xia Xuechun sneaking around too. Seems like both of us are suspects now."

Xia Xuechun’s eyes widened in disbelief: "Don’t frame me, I didn’t steal the bracelet!"

Qiao Chuchu ignored her and walked directly to Mrs. Wang: "I’ll ask one thing, Mrs. Wang, I, the eighth young lady of the Pei family, do you think I would steal your bracelet?"

Xia Xuechun looked to Mrs. Wang for help: "Mrs. Wang, I didn’t steal it! You have to believe me!"

Mrs. Wang furrowed her brow, looking closely at Qiao Chuchu: "Whether you stole it or not, we’ll find out if we search."

Qiao Chuchu grinned: "Oh? You’re only going to search me?"

Mrs. Wang raised her chin, her eyes sharp: "Let’s search you first."

Qiao Chuchu’s eyes flashed with menace: "What if I don’t want to?"

Mrs. Wang’s face darkened: "Then that proves you’re suspicious."

Qiao Chuchu sneered: "What gives you the right to judge me suspicious? What’s your judgment worth?"

Everyone’s eyes widened in shock.

This younger generation actually dared to speak like this?!

Mrs. Wang became even angrier, raising her voice: "What did you say?!"

Qiao Chuchu straightened up, looking down at her: "I was invited here, not begging anyone to let me in. Today, if you make me search, where should I put my face?"

Mrs. Wang’s aged face slowly turned angry: "Then you must be guilty."

Qiao Chuchu pressed on: "The second suspect hasn’t been searched yet, what gives you the right to call me guilty?"

Mrs. Wang’s face darkened, furious: "Are you saying Xia Xuechun is playing the thief and calling out the thief?!"

Xia Xuechun, enraged, shouted: "Mrs. Wang, you don’t need to explain for me, I’ll take my clothes off right now! Let everyone see how innocent I am!"

Lan Ying immediately agreed: "Yes! Xuechun, show Qiao Chuchu what a truly innocent person looks like!"

Xia Xuechun turned and took off her clothes!

She flipped them over!

Shook them hard!

"Clink~"

Out fell a string of pink diamond bracelets.

Xia Xuechun: "?"

Lan Ying: "?"

The guests around the table widened their eyes in surprise: "Isn’t that my bracelet? Hey? When did my bracelet go missing?"

Xia Xuechun froze, her hand instinctively shaking again.

"Ding-ling~"

Out fell a Paraiba necklace.

Another guest, shocked, touched their collarbone: "Huh? When did my necklace disappear?"

Shook again.

Out fell a pink diamond necklace.

The woman whose necklace was stolen felt horrified: "Oh my god, you’re so greedy, how much have you stolen?!"
