This idiot is really lucky. Even though Lu Qing doesn’t like her, all her outfits have always been provided by the Lu Family. Yet she’s managed to swipe quite a few things for herself. This time...
Let’s just take that custom watch of hers.
She stood up and walked over to Qin Miaomiao, pretending to be close as she held her hand and coyly said:
"Sister, you’re back."
Qin Miaomiao looked at this woman pretending to be innocent and secretly sneered inside. Qin Miaomiao, oh Qin Miaomiao, how blind must you have been to not see that she’s just a two-faced bitch?
Honestly, the old Qin Miaomiao was truly naive. She really treated her like a sister, giving her all the good things, pouring her heart out for her. And what did she get in return?
She was not only thoroughly used but even had her husband coveted!
"Sister, your watch is so beautiful. I have to attend a party later, but I’m still missing an accessory."
Qin Sishui looked troubled, but her eyes were fixed on the watch, her intentions blatantly obvious.
She thought that, just like before, Qin Miaomiao would obediently hand over the watch. She even reached out her hand, ready to take it.
Qin Miaomiao found it amusing. She curled her lips slightly and sat down elegantly on the side, speaking coolly:
"Cousin has already ’borrowed’ so many of my accessories. Surely, any one of them would be good enough to wear out."
Qin Sishui bit her lower lip, unwilling to give up, and pressed on:
"Sister, I really watch of yours."
"Oh, really? I like it too. By the way, the Lu Family has a rule that all borrowed items must be registered. Let me think, how many things has Cousin actually ’borrowed’ from me? It seems about time to return them all, doesn’t it?"
Qin Sishui froze upon hearing this. What does she mean?
Does she want those things back? No way. Once something is in her hands, it’s hers! Asking her to give them back? Absolutely impossible!
Her eyes reddened, and she put on an aggrieved expression. Lin Fen, seeing her precious daughter being wronged, immediately jumped in, pointing a finger at Qin Miaomiao’s nose as she scolded:
"Qin Miaomiao, what’s the meaning of this? It’s just a watch. Why are you being so petty? If you don’t want to lend it, just say so. What’s with bringing up all these other things? I didn’t expect you to be so ungrateful. After all we’ve done for you, you’re still nitpicking with your sister. Looks like when you slit your wrist last time, you not only hurt your hand but also damaged your brain!"
Her demeanor was no less than that of a market shrew, yet Qin Miaomiao only smiled at her. This dear aunt of hers truly had no difference from a proper street brawler.
"Auntie, calm down. If I’m not mistaken, my little cousin has ’borrowed’ things worth about a million from me. You know how strict the Lu Family’s rules are. If those things aren’t returned, I’ll have to pay for them out of my own pocket."
"Nonsense! There’s nowhere near that much. Don’t you dare make wild accusations. Shuishui hasn’t borrowed anything from you. Don’t push this nonsense onto her!"
Lin Fen stubbornly refused to back down. So what if they’d taken so much jewelry?
They weren’t going to return it. What could she do, steal it back?
Qin Miaomiao ignored her and instead turned her gaze to Qin Sishui, her eyes scanning over her neck and ears. Everything Qin Sishui was wearing belonged to her.
She curled her lips into a smile and said:
"The necklace on Cousin’s neck—I ’lent’ it to you three months ago, right? And those earrings, didn’t you take them from me just last month? As the old saying goes, ’If you borrow, you should return; borrowing again won’t be difficult.’ Cousin has always been known for her impeccable reputation. Surely, you wouldn’t want to be accused of coveting other people’s belongings, would you?"
