If she had confided in Xiao Ruoyu back then, she might have already fallen victim to his schemes.
She had never seen his true nature before; now, she could only feel relief that she hadn’t bared her soul to him completely. It wasn't that she had intentionally kept secrets; rather, she hadn’t even dared to take the item out to examine it herself. She feared that she would lament her father's early departure, afraid that the longing for him would overwhelm her.
She reached out to reclaim the brocade box, but Ye Meiqi swiftly dodged her grasp.
"Your father's coming-of-age gift, huh? That’s quite a clever excuse, but... with you looking so destitute, could your family really afford this?"
"I may be poor now, but that doesn’t mean I was always so. You might be wealthy today, but that doesn’t guarantee you’ll remain so forever."
Life has its ebbs and flows; fortunes can change in thirty years. Who knows what our circumstances will be in a few years?
"Give me back the gem."
An Nuan reiterated her demand, but Ye Meiqi merely raised an eyebrow, unfazed.
"It’s not impossible to return it. Just kneel and kowtow to me, admit your wrongs. Beg me to spare you."
"Ye Meiqi, don’t push your luck!"
An Nuan couldn't help but grit her teeth. Ye Meiqi smirked mockingly. "You stole my belongings and then claimed they were your father's relics, and now you refuse to apologize with any sense of righteousness. Lu An Nuan, you have some nerve! Do you really think I, Ye Meiqi, am an easy target? My family's possessions are not something you can just take whenever you want!"
"Your things?" An Nuan stared at her in disbelief, astonished by Ye Meiqi’s complete lack of guilt. Could this person be any more shameless? It was clearly Lu An Nuan’s; when had it become Ye Meiqi’s? This was simply beyond shamelessness.
"Ye Meiqi, I’ll say it one more time: give me back what’s mine!"
Rage surged within her, overwhelming and intense. Yet, she felt utterly powerless. All she could do was roar, hoping that Ye Meiqi would relent. But Ye Meiqi, accustomed to her arrogance, treated Lu An Nuan like an ant in her grasp, ready to be crushed at any moment. Ye Meiqi could do as she pleased—who told Lu An Nuan that she was signed with Xinghui? Who told her she was so helpless?
If Ye Meiqi dared to keep this gem for herself today, Lu An Nuan would go so far as to scheme against the major shareholder of Xinghui—she wouldn’t let Ye Meiqi get away with it!
"Why should I give it back to you? Let me make this clear: if you want to leave, then leave your suitcase and get out. If you don’t, I’ll call the police right now and report you for breaking and entering and theft. With Ruoyu as a witness, you won’t just be shouting at me; you’ll end up in jail!"
As Ye Meiqi's words echoed in the air, An Nuan ground her teeth in frustration.
"Ye Meiqi!"
She shouted in anger, casting a glance at Xiao Ruoyu, who stood silently by, his gaze fixed entirely on Ye Meiqi. An Nuan found the situation utterly absurd. In the end, she, Lu An Nuan, couldn’t even protect the relic her father had given her. What a worthless person she was!
She scolded herself fiercely in her mind before suddenly lunging forward and biting down hard on Ye Meiqi’s wrist.
Ye Meiqi cried out in pain, a sharp "Ah—" escaping her lips. She tried to shake An Nuan off forcefully. In the struggle, the brocade box in her hand fell to the floor, and the gem rolled out. An Nuan immediately released her grip and dove to retrieve it, but Ye Meiqi was just as quick, stomping down hard with her house slipper directly onto An Nuan’s hand.
"Lu An Nuan, how dare you bite me?! Just wait—I’m going to scratch your face to shreds today!"
Ye Meiqi roared in fury, reaching out to grab An Nuan's hair when suddenly a deep, cold voice commanded, "Stop."
