1192 Proving Her Innocence

“Mengyan! Remember that you’re the daughter of the Xia family. How can you be timid? Are you afraid of Qiao Xi? She clearly stole that bracelet!” Xia Yunlou said firmly.

Xia Mengyan: “…”

At this moment, she despised Xia Yunlou very much. At this point, it was obvious that Qiao Xi had evidence to prove her innocence. If they continued to cause trouble, they would definitely be embarra.s.sed. She hesitated for a moment and patiently persuaded, “Aunt, look at how confident Xi Xi is. It doesn’t seem like she stole something. Even if she really did steal something, she’s still your biological daughter and my cousin. If she’s arrested, we’ll also lose face. If this matter gets out, they’ll think that we bullied Xi Xi.

“Aunt, let’s withdraw the case. You’ve taught Xi Xi enough lessons. She’s already crying from fright.”

She had never planned to call the police in the first place. She just wanted the entire Li City to know that Qiao Xi had stolen her bracelet, but she did not intend to hold it against her. That way, not only could she let everyone know that Qiao Xi’s character was bad, but she could also let everyone know that she was tolerant and magnanimous. She did not expect that she would accidentally end up at the police station.

Xia Yunlou was silent. No matter what, Qiao Xi was still her daughter. If this matter blew up, she would also lose face. Those n.o.ble ladies would mock her behind her back.

However, would the news not spread after the case was withdrawn? At that time, everyone would say that the Xia family was afraid of Gu Zheng’s power and did not dare to stand up for Mengyan. It seemed inappropriate no matter what they did.

However, Mengyan insisted on withdrawing the case…

Xia Yunlou thought for a long time before saying, “We can withdraw the case, but…”

“Withdraw the case? That won’t do!” Qiao Xi walked out of the interrogation room and pointed at Song Shiyu, who was behind everyone. “The surveillance footage of the villa has been sent over. From Madam Xia Yunlou breaking into the Qiao family’s villa to the two’s departure, everything was recorded very clearly.”

Song Shiyu took out his laptop and played the surveillance video. Qiao Xi stared at the screen and pointed at it. “Here, you can see Miss Xia taking out the bracelet box.”

On the screen, Xia Mengyan opened an exquisite velvet box, revealing the bracelet inlaid with diamonds. Then, she closed it.

From then on, the velvet box was placed on the table without anyone touching it. Halfway through, Xia Mengyan even stuffed the box into Qiao Xi’s arms. However, Qiao Xi did not even touch it before Xia Yunlou s.n.a.t.c.hed it back and stuffed it into Xia Mengyan’s hand. Then, Xia Mengyan placed the box in her bag. The surveillance footage was very clear. Qiao Xi did not have the chance to open the box and take out the bracelet at all.

Later on, Xia Yunlou pulled Xia Mengyan away. From the moment they walked out of the storage room to the entrance of the villa, there were surveillance cameras all the way. The box was in Xia Mengyan’s bag and did not fall out. The surveillance footage in the storage room was still playing. Qiao Xi was seen holding the broken sh.e.l.l wind chime in her hand. She did not chase after them.

At the same time, after Xia Yunlou and Xia Mengyan left the villa, they got into the car. The two parties did not meet again. In the surveillance footage, Qiao Xi did not even touch the box. How could she have stolen the bracelet?

After the surveillance footage ended, Xia Mengyan’s expression was extremely ugly.

Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows and said, “Everyone saw it clearly. I didn’t touch the box containing the bracelet at all, but Madam Xia Yunlou insisted that I stole the bracelet. I don’t understand why. Are you maligning me, or do you just dislike me?”

The surveillance footage was enough to prove Qiao Xi’s innocence. What Xia Yunlou said just now had become slander. She realized that the gazes around her had become sharp.?reewe??ov?l.?o?

She gritted her teeth. She didn’t like Qiao Xi, but why couldn’t this little b*tch just go along with her this once? How could she embarra.s.s her biological mother in public?

Xia Yunlou was indignant and shouted sharply, “Why are you all looking at me? Mengyan lost her precious jewelry. There were only a few people present. Wasn’t it natural for me to suspect Qiao Xi?”

They were the owners of the jewelry, so they could suspect anyone?

Qiao Xi sneered. Xia Mengyan’s heart suddenly trembled, and cold sweat seeped out of her back. She bit her lip and racked her brains to think of a way to deal with it. Now that Qiao Xi had already proven her innocence, how could she explain the whereabouts of the bracelet?

She didn’t want to make a scene at the police station in the first place. It was Xia Yunlou, that idiot, who insisted on making a big deal out of it. Now, it was hard to retaliate.

Just as Xia Mengyan was about to explain, Qiao Xi asked, “Madam Xia, since you’re allowed to suspect anyone, why don’t you suspect Miss Xia?”
