A man who was originally decent looking and had a good family background was now crying like a woman with a pig face.
He was really too unlucky. Why were all of them here to scheme against him today? They were all metal plates that he couldn’t kick down.
“Okay.” Jiang Chengxi let go of Song Zhifei in disgust and pushed him away. “Since the suitcase is gone, you can return the money to me. I accept both cash and bank transfer.”
Song Zhifei cried and didn’t say anything. He took out a huge sapphire from his bag at the side.
“Young Master Xi, I don’t have money now.” Song Zhifei wanted to die. That set of jade jewelry was worth millions and he had already dug a hole in the company by taking the money. “Actually, the most valuable thing in that suitcase is this sapphire, and it’s also what Su Yanyun wants to find the most.”
Jiang Chengxi was about to flare up when he heard Song Zhifei’s last sentence. He stopped and took the sapphire and looked at it carefully.
Yes, it was indeed an extremely pure gem. It was exquisitely cut and weighed a lot.
Seeing Jiang Chengxi admire the gemstone, Song Zhifei added fuel to the fire. “Young Master Xi, you don’t know this, but this sapphire is Su Yanyun’s parents’ token of love, and also her most cherished treasure. I heard that before her father passed on, he had instructed her to take good care of this gemstone. She was so anxious to find that box, but in the end, she only wanted to find this gemstone.”
Jiang Chengxi put the gemstone away. “Okay, then the debt between us is written off.”
Song Zhifei said eagerly, “Young Master Xi, about the project.”
“Ha, you still want to the project?” Jiang Chengxi’s eyes darkened again. “You almost violated my woman. Young Master Song, you know that I’m very vengeful.”
Song Zhifei was speechless.
“No… it’s not there!”
Su Yanyun poured out all the things in the suitcase and searched through them carefully. “Aunt Chen, are you sure there’s nothing missing in the suitcase?”
Aunt Chen was also infected by Su Yanyun’s anxiety.
She hurriedly comforted Su Yanyun. “Madam Yi, don’t be anxious. I’m sure I didn’t see such a big sapphire. You have to believe Aunt Chen…”
“I believe you.” Su Yanyun was sure that Aunt Chen couldn’t have done anything wrong or overlooked anything.
One had to know that as the Water Courtyard’s butler and Madam Rong’s trusted aide, Aunt Chen had seen all sorts of precious things and her morals were definitely impeccable.
The only possibility was that
“Song Zhifei took it!” Su Yanyun clenched her fists. “Damn it!”
At that time, the hotel wasn’t too safe, and she didn’t have time to check carefully. There were a lot of gems and jewelry in the suitcase, and there was no lack of sapphires. She didn’t expect Song Zhifei to keep the most meaningful one.
How did he know that the gem was the most important thing?
Did the Shi family tell him?
It was already afternoon when Rong Linyi found out that Song Zhifei had taken something.
“I’ll arrange for someone to find him immediately. Don’t worry, as long as he was the one that took it, I’ll make him spit it out.” He comforted Su Yanyun.
Her husband always kept his promises.
Su Yanyun calmed down and waited.
But she waited until Rong Linyi came back in the evening.
“Hubby…” Su Yanyun probed.
Rong Linyi looked into her eyes for a few seconds. His eyes were calm, but Su Yanyun already felt a bad omen.
“The gem is in Jiang Chengxi’s hands now.” Rong Linyi finally chose not to conceal the truth. “Song Zhifei shouldn’t be lying.”
