But... she spent most of her own money to buy this gift for her brother!
She also wanted to see her brother's expression when he received the gift.
But... the gift is missing...
Han Qiqing's eyes slowly turned red.
Knock knock—
There was a knock on the door.
Han Qiqing wiped away her tears with her fingers and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Come in."
The housekeeper came in and reported, "I asked everyone to search all over the house, but they couldn't find the brocade box you described, Miss."
Han Qiqing said frustratedly, "Forget it if I can't find it..."
The housekeeper looked at her a little worriedly, "Miss, are you okay? Otherwise, I will ask everyone to search again, and search more carefully."
Han Qiqing shook her head and said, "No need..."
She saw that the servants at home were doing end-of-year cleaning today and started working early in the morning.
She didn't want to delay everyone's work because of her own affairs.
At Han Qiqing's insistence, the housekeeper had no choice but to go out.
She searched around the room again, but still couldn't find it.
She threw herself on the bed and looked at the ceiling, recalling the day's events.
She remembered that she put it on the coffee table...
Could it be that someone took away the brocade box
However, the servants at home have always followed the rules and will not steal anything.
Unless...it's Li Yezhen
She is the only outsider in the family.
Han Qiqing did not suspect Li Yizhen because she disliked her, but it was a reasonable suspicion.
Before Li Yizhen came to the house, she had never lost anything at home.
Why did she lose her things just after Li Yizhen came to her house
Isn't this too much of a coincidence
Therefore, it is not surprising that she suspected Li Yizhen. Han Qiqing suddenly sat up from the bed and narrowed her eyes.
Rather than guessing here, why not…
She jumped out of bed and quickly walked out of the room.
guest room.
Li Yizhen heard the hurried knock on the door and walked over to open the door.
"Who?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a petite figure rushed in.
Before Li Yizhen could react, Han Qiqing had already quickly ran to the dressing table and rummaged through the drawers.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Han Qiqing ignored her. After rummaging through this drawer, she went to rummage through the bedside table drawer.
Unexpectedly, she found the little brocade box.
Just as she was about to open it and confirm, Li Yizhen quickly rushed over and snatched the brocade box away.
"What's wrong with you? You just take other people's things!"
Han Qiqing sneered, "This is mine!"
Li Yizhen insisted that it was hers.
Han Qiqing said, "Okay, then open it and see if there is a pair of cufflinks inside. I bought these for my brother!"
Li Yizhen did not cooperate with her and sneered, "You are very funny. You ran into my room to look for things out of nowhere, took my things and said they were yours. I said, is this the courtesy of Miss Han?"
Han Qiqing also knew that her method was wrong, but she didn't care about it anymore. She only saw the little brocade box in the other person's hand.
"Open it! Just take a look and see if it's a pair of diamond cufflinks. It will prove that this is mine!"
Sure enough, she guessed right, it was Li Yizhen who stole it.
Li Yizhen curled her lips, looked at her funny and said, "Why do you say that there are a pair of cufflinks inside, and they belong to you? Can't others buy cufflinks? Let me tell you, even if there are really cufflinks inside, , that’s not your thing, I bought it myself!”
Hearing this, Han Qiqing was so angry that her chest hurt.
She has never seen such a shameless person!
