“Zhou Linchuan? Zhou Linchuan from Zhongya Real Estate?”
“Yes.”
“What did you mean by that?”
“You’ll know when you get home.” He didn’t want to elaborate and hung up directly.
Jiang Qiuyue, in a panic, tried to snatch the child away, shouting, “Help! They’re stealing the child!”
People around, watching her dramatic antics, mocked, “Looks like you’re the one trying to steal a child! / Yes, whose child would be so well-behaved in a kidnapper’s arms? / That’s right, we’re the long-time residents here, Ruyi knows us better than you! / What kind of aunt are you? You look more like a child trafficker! / Ruyi just said you hit her, abusing a child is illegal!”
These accusations hit Jiang Qiuyue hard, but she could only feign bravado, shouting, “Who’s abusing a child? You, with your dog-like appearance, you’re just slandering me!”
Seeing her attacking a young man, Jiang Ruyi immediately defended him, “Brother didn’t slander anyone, he’s a good person, you’re the one who abuses me. You’re the bad person. I’ll tell daddy.”
The young man, bolstered by her support, retorted with newfound vigor, “Did you hear that? You old witch, when Mr. Jiang arrives, your true colors will show—wait, that ruby pendant around your neck, I’ve seen it, it belongs to Miss Xu!”
He was so excited his face flushed, “Did you steal and wear Miss Xu’s things while she’s away?”
Jiang Ruyi, excited by his discovery, thought this young man had a bright future; one sentence had pinned down her aunt’s fault! She quickly agreed, “Yes. Brother is right. She stole and wore mommy’s pendant, and that pearl necklace is also mommy’s.”
This statement was like poking a hornet’s nest. The crowd’s disdain was palpable, “She actually wears other people’s things!”
“Miss Xu just went missing, and you’re already wearing her things, and not just one but two, don’t you feel guilty?”
“Probably didn’t even plan on returning them!”
“Mr. Jiang is busy looking for his wife, asked you to look after his daughter, and you, as her aunt, actually abuse her, are you even human?”
