Chapter 314: Who Dared to Steal It?
Old Madam sneered. “Siyin still belongs to the Mu family! We got a hold of his weakness. What else is there to be scared of?”
Upon hearing that, Mu Heyuan’s face became solemn. “But Mu Siyin doesn’t listen to a single word we say!”
Old Madam snorted. “Her att.i.tude was much more unyielding than before, but she doesn’t have the final say for everything.”
Mu Heyuan squinted his eyes and nodded slightly. “You’re the wisest, mom.”
After Shi Beiyu went upstairs, he followed the direction Mu Siyin told him and found her room.
The door was closed.
He stepped forward and grabbed onto the doork.n.o.b before he twisted it lightly to open the door.
The deco was feminine in taste. It was not too big yet warm and tidy.
Shi Beiyu went inside while Yan Ze stood guard outside the door. As he scanned the room that Mu Siyin grew up in, his thin lips slightly lifted into a smile.
Those who fell in love would have b.u.t.terflies in their stomach even without seeing them in person.
That was what Shi Beiyu was feeling.
He came to the bed and could not help but smile wider as he looked at the pictures of Mu Siyin on the wall.
Mu Siyin’s handbag and phone were left next to the cabinet.
He picked up the phone and put it into the handbag before zipping it. Then, he carried it and walked towards the bathroom.
Mu Siyin mentioned that she had left the string of blood jade beads on the bathroom’s glazed vanity table and it could be seen once he entered the bathroom.
Shi Beiyu raised his hand and pushed the door open. He lifted his gaze right at the glazed vanity table, but he did not see the string of blood jade beads.
He knitted his brows slightly and strode forward. He searched around thoroughly but the string of beads was nowhere to be seen.
He stood rooted on the ground and slightly squinted his eyes. His gaze was instructable.
‘Not to mention the mysticality of the beads, blood jades are a rarity. It is possible that someone came in and stole it while Mu Siyin is not around.
But… it had just been a short while, who dared to steal it?
The maids?
It’s unlikely. The maids from rich families usually have a contract and they wouldn’t dare to steal their master’s belongings, especially expensive ones.
Does that mean it’s someone from the Mu family?’
Just as Shi Beiyu was in the midst of his thoughts, Yan Ze’s voice suddenly came from the door. “Why did you come up too, Old Madam?”
Madam Mu smiled. “I came up to ask your president to help bring this string of beads to Yinyin.”
Shi Beiyu was stunned when he heard that. Then, he lifted his eyebrows slightly and turned around before walking out.
When Old Madam saw Shi Beiyu come out with Mu Siyin’s handbag, she handed over the blood jade to him as she said, “I saw this in the bathroom when I came to wake Yinyin up this morning. She simply left this precious thing at the glazed vanity table. I was afraid that the maids would try to steal it, so I kept it for her.
Since you’re here, might as well bring it to her.”
Old Madam was so sincere as if she was really worried the Mu Siyin would lose the beads.
Shi Beiyu’s eyes slightly darkened. He took it over with a smile and said with a clear voice, “I’ll take it back to Yinyin, but… did you personally come to wake up Yinyin this morning, old madam?”
Hearing that, Old Madam Mu’s slightly stiff face turned into a smile before she replied, “Not really. The maid didn’t see her when she came up today. I wasn’t relieved so I came up to have a look.”
Shi Beiyu briefly acknowledge her and asked, “Aren’t you worried at all when you found out that she is missing?”
Old Madam tried to remain calm and sighed softly before she replied. “How are we not worried? We were discussing whether to call the police to look for her when you coincidentally showed up.”
