Stubborn Love of a Roguish Scion - Chapter 122
Chapter 122: The One-Million-Yuan Ring
“Go up and change your clothes!” he sternly ordered her as he grabbed hold of her wrist.
“…”
The helpless woman could only obediently head back upstairs to grab a jacket.
“I’ll be off now.” As soon as she said that, she jogged out of the house.
“Sis-in-law, do you need a ride?”
“It’s fine.”
His face had completely darkened as he coldly watched her departing figure from the side.
The woman, who had reached the doorway, suddenly stopped in her tracks, turned around, and walked back toward him. Standing before him, she gazed up at him and said, “Don’t get the servants to cook tonight. Just ask them to prepare the ingredients and I’ll— Ugh, no!”
It was Old Master Lin’s birthday that day, so they had to attend his birthday feast in the evening. Thus, they were unable to treat them to a meal.
“Let’s treat them to a meal tomorrow instead.”
His gaze instantly softened. “Okay.”
“Get Old Liu to drive you there and come back early.”
“Alright.”
Xu Xu and the rest were left speechless by the forced-fed mushy scene.
“This is madness!” declared Wang Yitang through clenched teeth.
“Our sis-in-law?”
With smiling eyes, he glanced at the two other men beside Xu Xu. “Mm…”
“A-Alright, Boss ”
“How’s the investigation on the two remaining Blue Tower people going?”
“We’re investigating them further, Boss. It’s been confirmed that they’re currently in the city.”
“Speed up!”
“Yes, sir.”
“I’m sorry, ladies. We reserve the right to protect our customers’ privacy, so we can’t comply with your request.”
“I only want to take a look at yesterday’s footage around three o’clock in the afternoon,” said Ye Erruo.
With a smile on his face, the waiter courteously declined. “I’m sorry, but we have the right to protect our customers’ privacy.”
“I lost something at your shop yesterday and I want to search for it through the security footage.”
“May I ask what it is that you’ve lost, miss?”
“My wedding ring, which is worth a million yuan. Since I lost it in this shop, I want you guys to pay for it if I am unable to find it,” threatened Yao Tiao.
Ye Erruo was left speechless.
“Could you get your staff to help me see whether a woman who looks exactly like me visited this shop yesterday?”
The waiter felt conflicted after reading that news article earlier. Little Ah Mei is looking for her doppelganger here? If one doesn’t have a biological twin, how could there be someone else with a spitting image of oneself in this world?
“Yeah, go take a look. Otherwise, compensate me for the one-million-yuan wedding ring that I lost,” demanded her friend.
“…”
Her expression soon turned frosty when she saw that the waiter remained unmoved after all their pleading and threatening. “Yao Tiao, let’s just call the police and let them search for your ring.”
“Alright!” Yao Tiao then proceeded to take her phone out.
“Just a second, please. I’ll go and ask the higher-ups.” The waiter then quietly called his manager.
A minute later…
“Please come here, miss.”
She followed the employee into the security room with pursed lips. Mo Jiangye surely hasn’t seen the image circulating online. Otherwise, things wouldn’t have been so quiet. Besides, he never pays any attention to online nonsense.
“B*tch, it’s you again. Why the hell am I seeing you everywhere?” The familiar voice had Yao Tiao snapping her head in the direction of the sound.
“B*tch!”
“Young Missy.” The waiter greeted her as he made way for Wu Mengran.
“What are you doing here?” Yao Tiao’s face was brimming with disdain.
“This shop belongs to my family. Why do you think I’m here? You! Kick them out of here,” she sternly ordered her employee.
