Chapter 227 - 227: How Dare You Sell Second Young Mistress Huo"s Item
"Young Master Zhao, I..."
Zhao Xinchen waved his hand impatiently and barked, "Get lost!"
"Yes, yes, I"ll get lost now!"
Li Ankang stumbled out.
As soon as he left, Zhao Xinchen stopped looking arrogant and immediately smiled at Yan Jinyi sheepishly, "Sister Jinyi, how do I give you the million yuan?"
Yan Jinyi looked up and said, "Your watch..."
"It"s okay, it"s a birthday gift from someone else, I"m sick of it anyway."
Yan Jinyi finally nodded and accepted the sum of one million yuan with ease.
However...
Her eyes were glistening and soon, she would be able to earn another 1 million yuan. No, she would be getting the million-yuan bracelet.
Yan Jinyi stood up and waved her hands. "Huo Qingyuan, catch up to them. We"re going to go and collect some debts!"
Zhao Xinchen was extremely mean as he sent someone to tell Chen Yulian that she had been cheated by her own son.
As soon as Li Ankang arrived home, Chen Yulian gave him a huge beating.
Chen Yulian"s new home was still under renovation and she currently still resided in the old neighborhood.
Her deafening voice and curses were so loud that the residents in the neighborhood all learned of the fact that her incompetent son had cheated her out of her money.
Yan Jinyi and Huo Qingyuan, together with their lawyers, bodyguards, and two police officers, arrived at Chen Yulian"s doorstep domineeringly.
At this moment, there were already plenty of people around.
One of the police officers knocked on the door of Chen Yulian"s home first.
Chen Yulian was still furious. She opened the door furiously and was ready to curse at them, but she chickened out like a wimp when she saw the police at the door.
"Sir, you..."
The police first showed their doc.u.ments and then answered, "Second Young Mistress Huo has called the police to report you for selling her belongings without permission. The suspected amount is as high as a million yuan, and it has already caused a severe impact. Now, please make a trip with us to the police station."
Hearing her words, Chen Yulian tried her best to smile and asked, "Sir, is there some misunderstanding here? How could I have sold Second Young Mistress Huo"s belongings?"
The police officer showed her the photo and said, "This is a photo provided by a collector. The Huo family has gone to confirm that the jade bracelet is an ancestor heirloom of the family. Chen Yulian, your behavior is enough to const.i.tute a crime that warrants an arrest. Now, come with us."
Chen Yulian turned around to look at Li Ankang who was gloating and her indifferent daughter.
"Sir, that was given to me by Second Young Mistress Huo. Since it was a gift, I should be able to sell it without consequences, right?"
Yan Jinyi walked over slowly.
She was wearing a pair of large sungla.s.ses that almost covered her entire face. "Aunt, aren"t you afraid of going against your conscience by saying that? Since when did I say it was a gift?"
"Yan Jinyi, you b*tch!" Chen Yulian clenched her fists and stared at Yan Jinyi murderously.
However, when she saw the bodyguards behind Yan Jinyi, she instantly wimped out.
"Jin..."
"Please call me Second Young Mistress Huo, thank you."
"Ahem, Second Young Mistress Huo, you"re just too forgetful. You personally gave me the wooden box containing the bracelet at that time."
"I told you to safeguard it, I didn"t say that it was a gift."
"I... I just thought that... you wanted to gift it to me."
Yan Jinyi questioned a.s.sertively, "You mean you"re admitting to selling my bracelet?"
Chen Yulian"s expression changed. "I..."
"Since you"ve admitted, that"s easy." At this point, Yan Jinyi"s voice turned cold and hostile. "You either give the bracelet back to me or return me the money that you got after selling it. Otherwise, don"t blame me for sending you to jail without regard for our kinship."
