Chapter 9

Father Huo followed the housekeeper upstairs.

The entire living room on the first floor suddenly fell into a long silence, so quiet that Lin Xueqing could even hear her own heart beating randomly.

In mid-July, the heat is at its peak.
But Huo Zhai keeps the central air conditioner on all day long, and the air conditioner is tirelessly transported to every corner of the villa.

Despite this, Lin Xueqing still broke out in a sweat.
Big beads of sweat covered her entire face, and even her temples were soaked.

Seeing this, Huo's mother pretended to be concerned: "Are you hot?"

Lin Xueqing raised her head in a slight panic, and a big bead of sweat instantly rolled into her eyes. It was so hot that her eyes turned red.
But she still pretended to be calm: "No, no... How could I be hot at such a suitable temperature? Hahahahaha..."

Huo Ma smiled and said nothing.

No one echoed, and the awkward laughter only lasted for a few seconds and then stopped.

The living room fell into silence again.

The lengthy period of waiting for the verdict to be pronounced was as late as a minute, making Lin Xueqing feel on pins and needles.

Ye Leyao observed the subtle changes in Lin Xueqing's expression and did not forget to comment in his heart:
[The second aunt is sweating profusely, and she doesn’t look like the actress. 】

Huo Ma glanced at Lin Xueqing, who was wiping her sweat secretly, and sneered in her heart.

Lin Xueqing just brought it upon herself!

Although the Chen family is in decline and the family property has shrunk, the company is still operating normally, with an annual turnover of about 500 million. In addition, Lin Xueqing comes to the Huo family every month, and Huo's mother often subsidizes her, so she has no shortage at all. money!
But Lin Xueqing was not satisfied yet and focused on her jewelry.

She'd better pray that the engagement ring hasn't been resold by her, otherwise——

It's not just as simple as kicking her out.

After what seemed like a long century, Father Huo and the housekeeper finally came downstairs.

Ye Leyao instantly became energetic, his eyes sparkling: [Here he comes! 】

Father Huo held a tablet in his hand, handed it to Mother Huo, and whispered in her ear: "Not here."
Except for Huo's mother, only Huo's father knew which jewelry box Huo's mother put the wedding ring in.

After speaking, Dad Huo glanced at Ye Leyao.

This time Ye Leyao made meritorious service again.

Huo's mother's eyes were filled with fire when she heard this. She clicked on the video and watched it for just a few seconds before placing the tablet in front of Lin Xueqing and saying in a cold tone: "Explain it."

What was supposed to come came anyway, and was it discovered after all?
Lin Xueqing closed her eyes. For some reason, her anxious heart suddenly calmed down at this moment. She held her neck as calmly as if she was a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.

When she opened her eyes, Lin Xueqing saw the tablet in front of her. When she saw it, she was stunned.

The video on the tablet plays repeatedly.The video is not long, only about ten seconds. It is a splicing of two videos. The main content is that Lin Xueqing sneaked into Huo Ma's cloakroom and came out after a long time.

Seeing this, Lin Xueqing's tight string suddenly relaxed for a moment.

She stared at the video and watched it twice more. The more she watched, the more relaxed she became. She leaned back on the sofa and even changed to a more relaxed posture.

"What does cousin want me to explain?" Lin Xueqing wiped away the sweat on her forehead, her tone was relaxed, and there was a smile on her lips.

Her face changed so quickly that Huo Ma was a little surprised.
She pulled up the surveillance video. What was Lin Xueqing's reaction?
Ye Leyao opened his eyes wide:
[Is the second aunt trying to cheat? 】

Looking at the surveillance video that was still playing in a loop on the tablet, Ye Leyao understood clearly.

[It only captured the scene of the second aunt entering the cloakroom, but not the inside. So the second aunt feels that she is not confident in the evidence? 】

Huo's mother looked ugly.
Father Huo frowned.

Ye Leyao was right again.

Lin Xueqing really thought so.

The reason why she dared to sneak away Huo Ma's jewelry was because she saw that there was only one surveillance camera outside Huo Ma's cloakroom.
When she was caught, she was so flustered that she forgot about such an important matter. Now that her senses had returned, Lin Xueqing gradually gained confidence.

The surveillance video captured her entering the cloakroom, but so what?

She was extremely careful every time she entered Huo Ma's cloakroom. The surveillance camera could only capture her entering and exiting, but nothing else could be captured!
If it is not photographed, there is no evidence. If there is no evidence that she stole something, it is slander!
Lin Xueqing relaxed completely. Thinking of the dazzling array of jewelry in Huo's mother's cloakroom, she only regretted that she had taken less. She suppressed the jealousy in her heart and showed a slight smile: "I just went in to take a look, cousin, you are so Isn’t the reaction a bit excessive?”

After saying that, she looked at Huo's father who was doing the narration.

Huo's mother is also lucky. When she was young, Huo's father was handsome. Now that he is older, he doesn't have the greasiness of a middle-aged man at all. Unlike the one in her family who has a big belly, she feels sick every time she sees him.

Lin Xueqing's eyes quickly flashed with dissatisfaction, and she put on what she thought was a gentle smile. She pushed her hair back on her shoulders and said angrily: "Brother-in-law, look at my sister. I just went to take a look at her." In the cloakroom, my cousin got angry and went to adjust the monitoring system in a big way. Isn’t it a bit too much?”

Ye Leyao's eyes widened in shock:
[Second aunt...are you secretly flirting with Dad Huo? 】

Father Huo's eyelids twitched, and before Mother Huo could speak, he said sternly: "Speak up!"

The stern scolding startled Lin Xueqing, and she immediately looked aggrieved: "Brother-in-law, why are you so fierce..."

Ye Leyao felt that his goose bumps were all over the floor, and he couldn't help but stretched out his hands to rub them.

[No, Second Aunt...is she possessed by a ghost? 】

[Why is it so disgusting to speak suddenly? 】

If he could get likes, Dad Huo would definitely give Ye Leyao a big like!
Huo's mother also laughed in anger. The matter of stealing jewelry has not yet passed, but Lin Xueqing is still in the mood to make secret glances at her husband. Does she really think that she is blind and can't see?
Huo's mother lowered her face: "Lin Xueqing! I'm only asking you once, did you really not take my engagement ring?"

Lin Xueqing's expression changed slightly when she heard the words "engagement ring".
The ring she took casually was actually Huo's mother's engagement ring?

No wonder she reacted so strongly.

Lin Xueqing panicked briefly, then quickly calmed down and replied calmly: "No."

After saying that, she looked annoyed and aggrieved: "I just envy you, cousin, for having so many expensive jewelry and jewelry, so I just thought about going in and taking a look. I don't even know what your wedding ring looks like, cousin." So, why should I steal your wedding ring?"

After a pause, she continued: "Besides, cousin, you have so many jewelry, maybe you wore a ring and threw it away. Can you blame me?" Lin Xueqing grew up with Huo's mother. , of course I know that Huo Ma has a habit of being careless.

Huo Ma understood that Lin Xueqing was not ready to admit it.

Lin Xueqing simply stood up and picked up her bag: "Forget it, you don't believe me after I explain so many things to my cousin. How about you search it, cousin?"

Looking at the bag handed over in front of them, Huo's mother and Huo's father were startled.

Lin Xueqing dared to let them search her bag because she was sure they wouldn't find anything.

Sure enough, Ye Leyao was also whispering:
[The ring should not have been put in the bag by the second aunt, she was very cautious. 】

Seeing that Huo's father and mother didn't answer, Lin Xueqing raised her eyebrows slightly: "It seems that my cousin still believes in me?"

Lin Xueqing slowly retracted her hand: "Then in that case, I'll leave first? As for me, I still care about reputation. I hope I won't hear some rumors in the future, so as not to affect our relationship."

"Right?" Lin Xueqing smiled proudly.

Huo Ma's hand on the side slowly tightened, staring into her eyes: "If it's not in your bag, then it's on you!"

Lin Xueqing's eyes widened in shock, and she sneered after a while: "Cousin, are you trying to search me?"

"If you hadn't taken it," Huo Ma said, "you wouldn't be afraid of being searched, right?"

Lin Xueqing crossed her arms and said, "Then what if it is not found?"

Huo Ma was silent.

Ye Leyao muttered in his heart:
[No, how can the second aunt be so confident? 】

[I remember correctly. According to other plot dates, the second aunt probably stole Huo’s mother’s wedding ring and sold it during this period. 】

[But why is she so confident? 】

[Is it possible that I forgot some important plot? 】

Ye Leyao opened the memo and flipped through it while quickly recalling the plot in his mind.

Huo's father and Huo's mother also felt excited.

Did you forget any important plot points?
Come to think of it!

Lin Xueqing didn't wait for Huo Ma to speak for a long time. She was sure that Huo Ma would not really search her body, and the pride on her face became even greater.

Originally, she was ready to leave directly, but now she is not ready to leave either.

Huo's parents and Huo's mothers couldn't produce any evidence, and they had made her worry for so long for no reason. How could she be willing to accept it without some compensation?

Lin Xueqing slowly sat down on the sofa again and chuckled: "It seems that cousin is not very sure either? But I also have a bad temper, cousin, you know..."

【found it! ! ! 】
Ye Leyao shouted.

Huo's mother closed her eyes in pain.
Father Huo rubbed his eardrum that was almost shattered.

It’s quite timely, but it’s really hard on your ears!

[I wonder why the second aunt is so confident!It turns out that she had already thought about what to do from the beginning! 】

[This method...well...the second aunt is really cruel to me!No wonder it has never been discovered! 】

Huo's mother: "..."

So where is it hidden?
Can you stop being so pretentious?
Lin Xueqing: "I don't want much, it's just a little spiritual compensation, 100 million!"

[Swallow the ring alive without drinking water... wait until later... uh huh...]

[This is really hard to comment on. 】

【Are you really not going to get choked? ! 】

[Now it seems that the second aunt has swallowed the ring. What about Huo Ma’s ring?But if the second aunt swallowed the ring not long ago, then the ring should still be in her stomach now, right? 】

[It shouldn’t reach the intestines so quickly... right? 】

Huo Ma was shocked at first, then shocked again, and finally her face darkened and she was furious.

Lin Xueqing, she is!
She actually!
How dare she! ! !

Lin Xueqing saw the two people changing their faces so quickly and smiled coldly. She only wanted 100 million. Is this too much?

"Cousin, if you are not willing to pay this money, I can also take legal action..."

"Call the police." Huo Ma suddenly said.

Lin Xueqing was stunned, and the smugness on her face disappeared. She looked at Huo's mother in disbelief: "Cousin, what are you talking about..."

"Theft, blackmail," Huo Ma's forehead was throbbing with veins, "no matter which crime you are charged with, you will have to stay in there for a long time, right?"
She originally just wanted to get her wedding ring back and stop pursuing it.

But Lin Xueqing went too far! ! !
Call the police now...
You should still be able to remove the ring from your stomach, right?

"When did I steal something?!" Lin Xueqing said angrily.

Huo Ma glanced at her belly and sneered: "You don't know whether you stole it or not?!"

Lin Xueqing followed her gaze and saw her belly. Her expression suddenly changed, and she felt guilty instantly.
Could it be that she was found to have swallowed the ring?
Seeing Huo's father pick up the phone, Lin Xueqing realized that they were not joking. She hurriedly said: "If you don't give it, I won't give it to you! At the worst, I don't want it anymore. Why should I call the police?"

She stood up in panic, picked up her bag and walked out.
I walked too fast, and my high heels accidentally slipped on the ground, and I fell down on my feet.

Ye Leyao opened his mouth wide.
