1200 The Forest Is Large, And There Are All Kinds Of Birds
Xia Yunlou met Madam Ye’s gaze and felt uncomfortable all over. Her heart beat uneasily. She had only rejected Madam Ye’s invitation once, and she was already prepared to apologize in person and treat her to a meal to apologize. Madam Ye wouldn’t make things difficult for her in public over such a small matter, right?
Xia Yunlou comforted herself in her heart before gradually calming down. Madam Ye cleared her throat and said, “Everyone has seen the news, right? It’s been a long time since such a funny thing happened in the socialite circle! Madam Xu, what do you think?”
She addressed Madam Xu as Xia Yunlou. Xia Yunlou was married to Xu Zhi. Although Xu Zhi had been arguing with Xia Yunlou about a divorce recently, the two of them had not terminated their marriage yet. There was nothing wrong with Madam Ye addressing her as Madam Xu.
However, Xia Yunlou found it strange. Everyone in high society knew that her marriage with Xu Zhi only existed in name, so they usually wouldn’t call her Madam Xu in case she got unhappy. Now that Madam Ye suddenly called her that, she had a bad feeling.
The next second, Madam Ye sneered and said, “I believe everyone has heard that a certain someone listened to her niece’s instigation and called the police to arrest her biological daughter. In the end, the police found out that her niece was deliberately framing her daughter. Her biological daughter was innocent, and her daughter’s identity was extraordinary, so she sued both her mother and cousin. In the end, that person and her niece were both detained! Counting the days, they should have been released today!
“Isn’t it funny? It’s so funny!”
Madam Ye’s words exploded in Xia Yunlou’s ears. She felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and the blood in her body seemed to have frozen. There was an ear-piercing buzzing in her ears, and the sounds around her became blurry.
At this moment, a rich lady who was on good terms with Madam Ye said sarcastically, “Sister Qi, who is this person? She actually believed her niece and didn’t believe her own daughter. She even wanted to send her daughter to prison? Is she crazy?”
When Madam Ye heard the noblewoman’s words, she chuckled and said, “I heard that the stolen diamond bracelet is worth one million yuan. That person insisted on calling the police. If her daughter was convicted of theft, I’m afraid she would’ve been sentenced to 10 years in prison! However, that person didn’t care about her daughter’s reputation and future at all. She insisted on reporting it to the police, saying that she was afraid that her niece would be sad and suffer.”
“That niece isn’t a good person either. She pretended to have lost something to frame her cousin. It’s better to stay away from such people. She might scheme against us one day.”
Madam Ye’s gaze landed on Xia Mengyan and Xia Yunlou. “Hey, do you know who this person is? This is something that happened in Li City recently. I believe it won’t be long before news of it spreads. That’s too embarrassing! By the way, they were detained for 10 days. During these few days, we’ve been holding banquets. Those who didn’t attend are suspicious candidates!”
As soon as these words were spoken, Xia Yunlou could not remain calm anymore. Her breathing became chaotic.
The rich ladies laughed wantonly. “Sister Qi, do you mean that this person is in our circle? This person is too heartless. She wanted to send her own daughter to prison. There are all kinds of birds in the forest! Wait, I remember now. Mrs. Xu and Miss Xia didn’t attend any of the banquets for the past 10 days!”
“That’s right! Miss Xia happens to be Madam Xu’s niece! Could it be them?”
Xia Yunlou immediately choked. Cold sweat seeped out of her forehead, and her throat felt like it was blocked by a stone. She could not say a word, and her face turned red.
Seeing that she didn’t say anything, Madam Ye smiled. “What nonsense are you talking about?! It can’t be Madam Xu. Madam Xu has just acknowledged her daughter and should be doting on her! Why would she get the police to arrest her daughter? Madam Xu, what do you say about this?”
Xia Yunlou raised her eyes slightly and said bitterly under everyone’s burning gazes, “Yes, Madam Ye is right. It’s not… me.”
Miss Ye’s gaze landed on Xia Mengyan. She lowered her head and asked softly, “Miss Xia, where have you and Madam Xu been these past few days? I invited you to my birthday banquet, but you rejected me.”
Xia Mengyan’s clothes were already drenched in sweat. Her eyes were filled with fear, and her heart seemed to be about to jump out of her chest. Didn’t Grandpa say that this matter hadn’t spread? Why did everyone know?
It was Qiao Xi! She must have spread the news!
No, she could not let everyone know that she was detained!
Everyone’s eyes fell on the two of them, waiting for their answer. Xia Mengyan felt as if a fishbone was stuck in her throat and stammered, “W-We…”
