Chapter 175 The First Time Calling Sister-in-law
Ye Manni wanted to frame Xia Qianqian herself, but she was under house arrest and could not leave the house, so she had to hand it over to Lu Yingying.
Lu Yingying came back to attend Lu Yichen's wedding. She hasn't gone abroad yet, so she can help.
"Yingying, if you want to drive that poor bastard away, you can only try this last method. Break the jade pendant that your grandmother gave to your brother and then put the blame on that poor bastard."
Originally, Ye Manni was thinking of making a fake jade pendant and exchanging it for Lu Yichen's real jade pendant. Then she could put the real one away and destroy the fake one.
But she was afraid that if Lu Yichen found out that the jade pendant was fake, she would not be able to make him hate Xia Qianqian.
As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a kid.
Ye Manni decided to invest heavily, since the old lady's belongings were not given to her anyway.
Besides, their family has plenty of money, so they can buy any gifts they want with money.
Even antiques that are thousands of years old can be afforded, not to mention that the old lady's jade pendant is only a family heirloom that has been passed down for more than a hundred years. She won't feel bad if it is broken.
The old lady had a pair of jade pendants. Before she left, she gave one to Lu Yichen and the other to Lu Yingying.
When Lu Yingying was abroad, a foreign classmate came to her dormitory to play, secretly rummaged through her things, and accidentally broke her jade pendant.
"Mom, my jade pendant was broken by a classmate. I can use my jade pendant to exchange for my brother's good one, and then put the blame on that poor guy."
"This is better. You don't have to smash your brother's thing. But you have to be careful not to let your brother know. And that poor ghost is very cunning. Her eyes are moving around. Don't let her find out the flaw."
"Mom, I got it."
So, Lu Yingying happily came to Lu Yichen's villa in the south of the city.
It just so happened that Lu Yichen and Xia Qianqian were not at home, and only Aunt Ye was at home.
Previously, Xia Qianqian was kidnapped by Li Xiaoyun, Ye Rong, and Wang Yan and taken to an abandoned factory in the north of the city, where they almost burned Xia Qianqian to death.
After that incident, Lu Yichen made it clear to Aunt Ye that no relatives or friends of their family would be allowed into the house without his permission.
Lu Yingying pressed the doorbell for a long time, but Aunt Ye didn't dare to open the door.
Lu Yingying lost her temper and called Lu Yichen to cry.
"Brother, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. You don't even recognize me after you got married. I rang the doorbell for a long time, but Aunt Ye wouldn't let me in, saying that she had to get your permission before she could open the door. What crime have I committed? Why are you treating me like a criminal?"
"Don't blame Aunt Ye. I told her to do this. Wait a moment. I'll be back soon."
"Brother, you were not like this before. You have changed. You have become so strange." Lu Yingying burst into tears before she finished her words.
Lu Yichen felt as if he had committed a heinous crime.
"Okay, okay, stop crying. I'll be back soon."
Ten minutes later, Lu Yichen and Xia Qianqian returned home.
Lu Yichen immediately apologized to Lu Yingying, but Lu Yingying ignored him and even refused to eat lunch.
Lu Yingying was spoiled by Ye Manni and has a princess syndrome.
Lu Yichen also dotes on her. In his eyes, she is still a little girl.
When the parents are not around, the older brother continues to spoil his younger sister.
Lu Yichen was afraid that Lu Yingying would be hungry if she didn't eat lunch, so he said all kinds of nice things to coax her.
Xia Qianqian couldn't bear it anymore and went back to her room to rest.
"How can you eat?"
"If you accompany me shopping in the afternoon, I will eat."
"Ask your sister-in-law to accompany you. I still have a lot of things to do." Lu Yichen originally wanted to accompany Lu Yingying shopping in person, but he had to meet an important client in the afternoon and wanted Xia Qianqian to accompany her.
Lu Yichen was also afraid that the willful Lu Yingying would make things difficult for Xia Qianqian, but he thought that he had already sent two bodyguards to secretly protect Xia Qianqian, so there shouldn't be any problem.
So he went back to the company after lunch.
Xia Qianqian asked Lu Yingying, what time are we going shopping?
Lu Yingying said that she had just finished her meal and was not in a hurry and would rest for a while before going.
Xia Qianqian was taking a nap while Lu Yingying was rummaging around in Lu Yichen's study.
Finally, she discovered that the jade pendant was in the drawer of Lu Yichen's study.
Lu Yichen put the jade pendant in a very exquisite box.
Lu Yingying deliberately took out the box, put the jade pendant around her neck, and looked at it left and right.
Lu Yingying looked up and didn't see the camera, so she placed her broken jade pendant on the desk and covered it with a tissue, and put the good jade pendant into her bag.
"Sister-in-law, why is my brother's study so dirty? Hasn't it been cleaned for a long time?" Lu Yingying called Xia Qianqian "sister-in-law" for the first time. Xia Qianqian was very moved when she heard the call in the next room.
Lu Yingying didn't like her before, and she also knew that Lu Yingying was willful and capricious, so she didn't bother with Lu Yingying.
Lu Yingying's call of "sister-in-law" made Xia Qianqian feel that she had become much more sensible.
When Xia Qianqian heard Lu Yingying's cry, she immediately went to the study.
There is only one servant in the house, and Aunt Ye has to do a lot of work every day, so she doesn’t have time to clean every day.
"I cleaned your brother's study room two days ago. It must be dusty since I haven't cleaned it for two days."
"Sister-in-law, then you go and have a rest, I'll do it, I have nothing to do anyway."
This unruly princess can help with the work, how can Xia Qianqian not help? This is unacceptable!
Lu Yingying wiped the desk, while Xia Qianqian wiped the bookcase.
Lu Yingying took more than ten tissues to wipe the desk. Instead of throwing the dirty tissues into the trash can, she deliberately covered the rotten jade pendant.
After wiping the desk, Lu Yingying told Xia Qianqian, "Sister-in-law, please sweep away the garbage. I'll take a rest for a while. I'm so tired."
Xia Qianqian thought that Lu Yingying had never done any housework before, so it was good enough that she took the initiative to wipe the desk. Although she was only busy for more than ten minutes, she was indeed very tired as she had never done any housework before.
Xia Qianqian also felt sorry for Lu Yingying, "Okay, you go and have a rest! I'll do the rest."
Lu Yingying lay down on the sofa in the study and took out her mobile phone to watch some short videos.
Xia Qianqian held the trash can in one hand and a rag in the other and swept the pile of dirty paper towels on the desk into the trash can.
All I heard was a "bang", which should be the sound made by something like ceramic.
Xia Qianqian looked through the trash can and indeed found two jade pendants.
"You don't want this jade pendant?" Xia Qianqian asked Lu Yingying.
Lu Yingying got up and pretended to be surprised and said, "Ah? This is the jade pendant that grandma left for my brother. How come it's broken?"
How precious must the relic that grandma left to Lu Yichen be!
Xia Qianqian was shocked. What should she do? Lu Yichen would definitely scold her to death when he came back.
"Can this be repaired?" Xia Qianqian asked in a panic, holding the two crystal clear jade petals.
"Sister-in-law, this is what grandma left for my brother. It is very precious and cannot be repaired. Even if it can be repaired, it will not be the original jade pendant."
"What should I do? Your brother will scold me."
"Sister-in-law, I'm not going shopping. I'm going home first. If I don't leave now, my brother will scold me to death when he comes back." Seeing that the matter had been settled, Lu Yingying found an excuse to leave.
Xia Qianqian stood there in a daze, terrified out of her wits.
