1193 She Slandered Me
As soon as Qiao Xi said this, the entire venue was silent for a few seconds. Xia Yunlou erupted into ear-piercing laughter. “Are you crazy?! Mengyan was the one who lost the bracelet. Why should I suspect her?”
“Why not?! It’s possible that Miss Xia pretended to lose her bracelet and framed me. Madam Xia, you can look for it in Miss Xia’s bag. Perhaps you’ll find it!”
Xia Mengyan’s body suddenly stiffened, and the blood in her body seemed to have frozen. She was stunned for a long time before calming down.
Qiao Xi wanted to search her bag?
Xia Yunlou was indignant. “What right do you have to search Mengyan’s bag? Mengyan is the owner of the missing bracelet and is a victim!”
“Can’t the owner steal her own belongings? Why do you insist on thinking that it was me without any evidence? Why do you firmly believe in Xia Mengyan?” Qiao Xi asked.
The female police officer received a signal from her team leader to search for Xia Mengyan’s bag.
Xia Mengyan heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she did not put the item in her bag, but the next second…
After searching her bag, the female police officer accidentally touched her clothes. She touched her pocket, then took out a diamond-studded bracelet from the inside pocket of her coat.
The diamond bracelet worth a million yuan was in Xia Mengyan’s pocket!
Boom!!!
Xia Mengyan’s mind was a mess, and everything in front of her became blurry. Didn’t they say that they were going to search her bag? Why did they search her clothes?
Qiao Xi was supposed to be the one who stole the bracelet, but now, she had become the culprit!
“Oh! It’s indeed on Miss Xia!” Qiao Xi crossed her arms and leaned slightly in Gu Zheng’s arms. “This bracelet was clearly in your pocket, but you made a fuss and came to the police station to report it missing. You even slandered me for stealing it!”
Xia Yunlou felt as if she had been struck by lightning as she looked at Xia Mengyan in disbelief.
Xia Mengyan was so anxious that her forehead was covered in sweat. “Aunt, I told you long ago that Xi Xi wouldn’t have stolen anything. I… Perhaps I forgot that I put it in my pocket, so I misunderstood Xi Xi.”
Qiao Xi watched Xia Mengyan act with interest, but no matter what she said, it seemed so powerless.
Xia Mengyan pulled Xia Yunlou’s arm and said anxiously, “Aunt, since the misunderstanding has been resolved, let’s leave quickly. Grandpa is still waiting for us at home!”
At this moment, Xia Yunlou felt even more embarrassed. Everyone’s gazes were gathered on them. It turned out that the bracelet was not lost and Qiao Xi did not steal it. The unwillingness and guilt in her heart were mixed together. Xia Yunlou was like a walking corpse as she was pulled out by Xia Mengyan.
Xia Yunlou’s mind was in chaos. If this matter spread, what should she do? It was definitely ridiculous that she had accused her daughter of stealing!
She felt weak all over and walked out the door.
“Don’t leave yet!” Qiao Xi opened her mouth to stop them, and Song Shiyu quickly acted on it.
Xia Yunlou turned around stiffly, and her face alternated between red and white. She gritted her teeth and roared at Qiao Xi, “What are you doing?”
Qiao Xi turned around and said to the female police officer, “Officer, I want to report a case.”
The female police officer understood in her heart that these two women had wrongly accused Miss Qiao of stealing something. Moreover, the amount involved was as high as a million yuan, and there was also the crime of slander. Moreover, they had even called the police and occupied public resources. According to the rules, the two of them had to be severely punished. How could they think of leaving without a word?
How was that possible?!
“She slandered me!” Qiao Xi pointed at Xia Yunlou and shouted.
The female police officer was not surprised, but the next second, Qiao Xi pointed at Xia Mengyan. “She deliberately destroyed my collectible that’s worth 200,000 yuan.”
200,000 yuan was not a lot to Qiao Xi, but it had already reached the amount needed to file a case. When the policewoman heard this, she immediately recorded it, but Xia Mengyan was dumbfounded.
Qiao Xi said that she had deliberately destroyed a collectible of hers, but she did not!
Before Xia Mengyan could speak, Xia Yunlou could not help but roar. “Qiao Xi! What nonsense are you talking about?!”
Qiao Xi glanced at her disdainfully. Soon, a man in a suit walked in. He respectfully greeted Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi before introducing himself to everyone. “I’m Wei Feng, a lawyer from Chengyue Law Firm. My client is Miss Qiao Xi.”
The policewoman invited everyone to move to the mediation room and take their seats. Lawyer Wei was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and had a faint smile on his lips, but his tone was extremely serious. “My client has already told me the whole story about the slander. My client doesn’t have to say anything anymore. I’ll be handling the case.”
Everything went according to the procedure, so the police naturally nodded in agreement. However, when Xia Yunlou saw the lawyer, she was instantly unhappy. “Qiao Xi! You actually got a lawyer to come over? Are you going to sue me?”
It was just a small matter, but Qiao Xi actually invited a lawyer. She was really calculative!
