Chapter 227: Reclaiming the Engagement Token
What Su Ming said was never false.
The first thing Chen Wanqiu did when she put down her child was to ask someone to take out the bracelet that Song family gave her when she got engaged.
The emerald green color had a layer of lustrous luster under the light, and the touch was even gentler, without the coolness of ordinary jade.
Chen Wanqiu and Song's mother used to get along very well. They both liked jade, and even chose a jade bracelet as their child's engagement token.
Chen Wanqiu carefully felt the touch of the bracelet in her hand. It was very smooth and seemed to be no different from ordinary jade.
But it gave people a clear feeling that something was missing.
She had not felt it much before because the bracelet was for appreciation, and now she found the weirdness.
"Madam, what's wrong?" The nanny on the side saw that she looked serious and couldn't help asking.
Chen Wanqiu put down the bracelet, "Go find an organization to identify it and see what material it is made of."
Technology is so advanced now that even a master craftsman with many years of experience can't tell whether it is real or fake. Chen Wanqiu felt that something was wrong with the bracelet, but she couldn't tell the specific reason.
When the identification results were sent back, Chen Wanqiu looked at the results and laughed on the spot.
"Tang Yuexiu, you are so shameless!"
You actually gave her a fake! And you have the nerve to tell her that this is a rare top-grade jadeite, bah!
Chen Wanqiu led people and rushed to the Song family in a mighty manner.
"Tang Yuehua, get out of here!" When the usually gentle woman gets fierce, she is also full of momentum.
Mother Song was admiring a new bag. When she heard the voice, she frowned unhappily: "Who is outside?"
The servant went out and took a look, "Madam, it seems to be Mrs. Su."
Mother Song's eyes showed a playful look. Thinking of something, the mockery in her eyes was full.
She walked out slowly.
"Chen Wanqiu, why did you come to me? Did you agree to cancel the engagement, but suddenly change your mind?" Song's mother twisted her waist, thinking that she must have been right.
"You said so readily when you canceled the engagement this morning, but soon found that your child's conditions were not enough to find a good marriage partner?"
"I tell you, even if you beg me now, I can't be soft-hearted."
"Please?" Chen Wanqiu waved her hand and asked the bodyguard to send the fake bracelet over: "Tang Yuexiu, give me back the rare ice jadeite I gave you."
"Since the engagement has been cancelled, the thing must be dealt with cleanly!"
Tang Yuexiu's face changed. She didn't expect Chen Wanqiu to come for the bracelet.
At the beginning, the Su family was more financially prosperous, and Chen Wanqiu was generous. When the two children got engaged, she directly gave her the top-quality ice jadeite that she had finally obtained.
She liked it very much!
But it was too expensive for her to give something of the same value back. It was too low-end and she couldn't show it off, so she compromised and bought a high-tech imitation.
Mother Song touched her nose, "It's just a bracelet, why are you going through so much trouble? Your Su family is really in decline, even asking for a small thing requires such a big fuss."
"Then you should return my things to me."
Chen Wanqiu stood coldly at her door, as if she would not leave unless she returned it.
Mother Song frowned and said in a bad tone: "Why are you so annoying? I told you it's just a small thing, I don't care about it, I told the servants to pack it up somewhere, and I can't find it anymore."
Of course she could find it.
After all, she had just worn this bracelet out to brag to others two days ago, and she received a lot of envy.
Mother Song didn't want to return it to Chen Wanqiu just like that.
"It's just a small thing, don't be so fussy, at most I won't want the gift I gave you to break off the engagement."
Chen Wanqiu stared at her, her cold eyes seemed to be able to see through people's thoughts.
Song's mother was scared, "What? Did I say something wrong? It's true. My servants would just pick up the worthless things."
"Tang Yuexiu, what do you think about me telling my new in-laws that you gave me fakes?"
Song's mother seemed to be stepped on by the tail, and her voice rose, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who gave me fakes? My Song family is big and powerful, how could I give you fakes?"
She was secretly shocked.
It's so easy to be discovered when giving fakes. It seems that she has to give a real one when she gets engaged to someone else this time.
Both sides were in a stalemate. Seeing that she looked guilty but insisted on being stubborn, Chen Wanqiu said directly: "Then let the police solve it."
Even if the bracelet can't be found, the reputation of the Song family in this villa area will be reduced by a level after such a commotion.
Song's mother gritted her teeth: "You are sick, why bother the police with such a thing!"
She made a gesture and asked the servants around her to quickly move the bracelet to another place.
Su Ming, who had been silently appreciating the war between women, hurriedly reminded: "Mom, there is really no need to trouble the police for such a thing. The bracelet is in the room at the staircase on the second floor, in the bedside table on her right."
"There is a mezzanine inside, which is relatively hidden. You have to be careful to find it."
The servant next to her was about to go upstairs when Chen Wanqiu called her lightly: "Mrs. Song, what is your servant doing in such a hurry? Are you going to deal with the stolen goods?"
Mother Song glared at her fiercely, "What nonsense are you talking about all day long!"
"Since you don't want me to call the police, let my people go up and search to see if there is my bracelet."
Xiao Ming said the location, and the thing must be there.
Tang Yuexiu was really annoying. If she didn't break her disguise today, she would feel uncomfortable.
"You won't be unwilling, will you? What's the matter? Did you just lie to me? Do you think my bracelet is too good and want to keep it for yourself?"
Chen Wanqiu brought a group of security guards over.
While they were negotiating, some nearby owners drove by and looked at them curiously.
After struggling for a while whether to return it or not, Song's mother still couldn't bear to give up the bracelet, "Then you ask someone to search. If you can't find it, you must apologize for your arbitrary speculation about others!"
"No problem."
The several security guards present today went upstairs with good training. After Chen Wanqiu quietly told him the designated location, the security captain quickly found the bracelet.
He took the thing downstairs in no more than two minutes.
"Madam, I found it."
Song's mother opened her eyes in surprise.
How could it be? She had put it so hidden, how could this big fool find it so easily!
The bracelet was dark green all over, like a cold pond, deep and bottomless.
Chen Wanqiu took the thing, put it on, and felt it carefully.
"Yes, that's the feeling."
Real good jadeite gives people a refreshing feeling when worn. Industrial fake jadeite, although it feels the same, just can't make people feel that comfortable.
"Tang Yuexiu, you have to explain how my bracelet was found so easily? You can't even return the engagement token. With someone like you, you still want to find a wife for your son?"
