Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

Chapter 574 Lost The Emerald Ring

Xu Anran smiled sinisterly and pretended to stroke her hair, revealing the jade bracelet on her wrist.

Wen Xi’s eyes were dazzled by the emerald color.
She hurriedly mocked, “Right! The Yin family even sent a set of jewelry over, but they only gave it to Cousin and not you.
This is a priceless jade bracelet.
Cousin’s grandmother, Old Madam Yin, dotes on Cousin very much.
She was even willing to give Cousin such a precious jade!”

“It’s not just this bracelet.
There’s also an emerald ring! Cousin, where’s your ring?” Wen Xi looked at Xu Anran’s finger and asked in surprise.

Xu Anran replied unhurriedly, “I tried on a few rings just now, so I took it off and placed it…”

Before she could finish, her face turned pale.
“My ring! Where’s the ring?” Everyone was shocked.

Xu Anran’s emerald ring was a birthday gift from the Yin family’s old madam.
Although it was just a small ring, the color and design of the ring were superb.
It was worth at least ten million yuan.

This was a huge sum of money for ordinary people!

Now, this ring was missing from the shop!

The manager was anxious.
If the ring was really lost, they would have to take responsibility.
Being fired was a small matter.
If Miss Xu demanded compensation, they would not be able to compensate even if they sold everything in their shop.

He hurriedly said respectfully, “Miss Xu, don’t worry.
We have surveillance cameras in our shop.
I’ll go check it first.
I’ll definitely be able to find the ring.”

Xu Anran nodded indifferently.
Then, her gloomy gaze fell on Qiao Xi as she said gently, “It’s fine.
Maybe I was too careless.
I wouldn’t have lost it.”

However, after searching for a while, they could not find the ring.

At this moment, a shop assistant walked out in a panic and said nervously, “We… We’ve checked the surveillance footage.
Miss Xu seems to have placed the ring in her bag.
How did she…”

Xu Anran’s friend immediately stood up and asked, “Then did anyone approach Anran after that?”

The shop assistant was stunned for a moment and said while trembling, “Miss Xu and Miss Qiao bumped into each other, but…”

Before she could finish, Wen Xi widened her eyes and sneered.
“It seems that someone deliberately bumped into my cousin and stole her ring!”

One could hear a pin drop.

Qiao Xi sneered.

Xu Anran frowned.
“No, Xi Xi is my sister.
My parents give her pocket money.
She has no reason to steal my ring!

“Moreover, if Xi Xi likes the ring, I’ll definitely give it to her.
She doesn’t have to steal it in public!”

Xu Anran pretended to explain for Qiao Xi.
As soon as she finished speaking, she looked shyly at the man beside Qiao Xi.

What right did she have to marry such an outstanding and handsome man?

If Qiao Xi was found to have stolen in public and her reputation was ruined, would President Gu still like her so much?

Qiao Xi, this country bumpkin, had climbed up the social ladder and entered high society.
Now, she still wanted to compete with her for the position of the eldest daughter of the Xu family.
What a fool’s dream!

Xu Anran was certain.
“Impossible! It’s absolutely not Xi Xi!”

The manager looked troubled.
The people in front of him were all rich and powerful.
He could not afford to offend anyone.
Moreover, they did not lack money.
There was no need to steal.
At the end of the day, the employees here were the most suspicious.
After all, with that ring, they would have enough money for the rest of their lives.

The shop assistants immediately explained nervously, “Miss Xu, it’s not us! How could we dare steal from you?! If you suspect us, then come and search us! We’re willing to prove our innocence!”

Xu Anran and her friends immediately went to search the shop assistants’ pockets and bags, but they did not find anything.

At this moment, everyone was even more nervous.
Xu Anran had lost such a valuable item.
Everyone was suspicious.
Although they were all rich young ladies, their families were inferior to the Xu family.
Of course, they did not dare to offend Xu Anran.

At this moment, a lady said, “Anran, it must have fallen to the floor or been stolen.
Everyone is suspicious, so let’s search everyone’s bodies.
We might find out who stole it.”

Xu Anran smiled proudly.
This was what she wanted to hear.
