Chapter 233: can you afford it?

“Aunt Jiang.” Mo Weiyi slowly began, “You’ve been working in my house for two years. I think you know well how I have treated you. I’ve been paying you twice as much as other employers, and I’ve never pestered you or deducted your wages for taking leaves. And did I not gift you enough in these two years? Then why did you still steal from me?”
Aunt Jiang’s face turned bright red, “Those things you gave me, were only things that you didn’t want or couldn’t use. You pity me, that’s why you toss me some cheap stuff. But, would you ever give me the real good stuff?”
Su Wanwan was once again flabbergasted.
She had met this Aunt Jiang a few times. She seemed to be a good and capable woman, but she never expected her to not only be a thief but also so vain that her morals would crumble like that.
“Hmm.” Mo Weiyi chuckled, opened her bag, took out a thick stack of financial bills, and slammed them onto the coffee table.
“Rong An gave me these things a long time ago. These are your son’s financial statements from the past two years. He’s just become an employee in a foreign company this year, with a monthly salary of just over ten thousand. Even though he was just an ordinary college student before, his account had at least a couple of hundred thousand coming in each month from over a year ago, all of it transferred from a pawnshop in Nancheng. There’s also this necklace.”
She then pulled out a pearl necklace from the bag, “My English name, Vera, is engraved on the pendant. This was a bespoke wedding gift my grandfather got made for me in Paris. I even let you see this set of necklaces back then. But now, Rong An bought it from that pawnshop! Which means you recently stole it from me! I can call the police right now and you’ll be behind bars!”
“Don’t call the police!” Aunt Jiang said, quickly rushing to Mo Weiyi, “My son just managed to get into this company. If you report him, his life will be over; he’ll have a record. How will he face others…”
“You should’ve thought about this before.” Mo Weiyi said, unmoved.
“Please, princess, can’t you show some mercy!”
“Me, unmerciful? Remember, I have given you an opportunity, but you didn’t seize it! When you were unmasked by Feifei, I could have called the police then! But I thought maybe you were in a difficult situation, so I didn’t. And what now?” She curled her red lips into a cold, detached smile, “I’ve seen shameless people, but I’ve never seen someone like you. You’re trying to justify stealing?”
“Please, princess, don’t call the police.” Aunt Jiang now regretted her actions immensely.
She had always thought that Mo Weiyi had not noticed, just dismissed her as a naive girl. Now she knew she was wrong.
She was tremendously wrong!
With a “plump”, Aunt Jiang fell on her knees and began to sob and beg, “Princess, I will return everything, I beg you, don’t call the police. I’ll compensate you, however much you want, just don’t send us to jail.”
“Can you afford to compensate me?” Asked Mo Weiyi, sitting on the sofa, gazing down at her condescendingly.

“Do you really think I came here today, just to demand compensation from you?” Saying this, Mo Weiyi suddenly raised a pair of Shinore earrings in her hands, “Like these earrings, I actually don’t like them, but since they are mine, I must retrieve them. I’m a bit of a clean freak. I don’t like others touching my things, let alone dirtying them! If they’re dirtied, I’d rather abandon them!”
Having said this, she slammed the earrings.
With a “clink”, the earrings smashed onto the hard tiled floor, instantly shattering.
It took a long time, but Su Wanwan still remembered that scene.
Mo Weiyi sat on the sofa wearing a long dark dress with a coffee-colored jacket, her red lips were cold and stunning, her eyebrows proud, and the words she uttered were no less than an ice-cold prophecy of fate.
But back then, she was only a girl in her twenties, in the prime of life, radiant and glowing, her eyes filled with nothing but love..
