Chapter 471 Found
She turned to look at Ji Guangnian, "What did you say? Necklace? What kind of necklace?""I don’t know, maybe a platinum necklace. But I strongly suspect it’s fake."
"Then, what about that wild cat? The necklace? When did you see it? Where did you see it?" Xiyan nervously stepped forward, shaking Ji Guangnian’s shoulders.
Ji Guangnian was startled by Xiyan’s "enthusiasm" and stammered as he spoke, "I–I saw it over by the East Gate of the Film and Television City. That cat ran off into the grass in a flash."
East Gate...
Isn’t that where Aunt Ou invited me for coffee?
Xiyan turned around and sprinted off.
"Summer? Summer!"
Qiaoqiao and Ji Guangnian exchanged puzzled glances.
What’s up with Summer?
-
Xiyan arrived at the East Gate and began searching along the grass.
That wild cat might drop the necklace at any time and leave it somewhere random.
There was hope.
Maybe the necklace was hidden somewhere in this stretch of grass!
Xiyan’s lips pressed firmly into a straight line, her dark, bright eyes fixed on the ground, refusing to miss even the smallest clue.
The July weather was already scorching, and combined with her concentrated search, it didn’t take long before sweat began to bead densely on Xiyan’s forehead.
So hot...
And there were so many mosquitoes in the grass.
Ugh, she was being bitten to death by mosquitoes.
Even so, Xiyan bit her lower lip and continued searching seriously.
Dear God, please open Your eyes and take pity on me for being so devout—let me find it quickly, don’t let my efforts be in vain QAQ.
Perhaps God really heard her prayers.
When she parted the grass in front of her, a burst of bright light reflected into her vision.
... Platinum necklace!!
Xiyan excitedly picked it up, holding it aloft to examine carefully.
Just then, someone suddenly struck the back of Xiyan’s neck hard with their palm.
What the hell!!!
Xiyan’s vision went black, and her entire body collapsed unconscious.
"Miss, she fainted,"
a man turned to Qiao Qianmo and reported.
This man’s name was Dink, and he was Qiao Qianmo’s personal bodyguard.
Qiao Qianmo walked over unhurriedly, her gaze icy as she looked down at Xiyan.
She had spent the entire afternoon leading her people in search of the necklace.
Just now, she had arrived at this patch of grass, only to see Xia Xiyan, drenched in sweat, retrieve the necklace from the ground.
And the necklace in her hands was none other than the one lost by Mother Ou!
"Xia Xiyan, do you think using a pitiful ploy like this will make Auntie like you?!"
As she spoke, she bent down and snatched the necklace from Xiyan’s hand.
——This is the dividing line——
The necklace was lost, and Mother Ou’s nerves were once again deeply affected.
Although her emotions weren’t as intense as before, the obsession of her second personality made her absolutely refuse to leave.
She insisted on staying in the Film and Television City until the necklace was found!
But there wasn’t any proper hospital near the area, so there was no choice but to summon the Ou Family’s private doctor to come over.
"The necklace, my necklace..." Mother Ou fumbled around her bare neck, repeatedly mumbling the same words.
If someone at this moment could help her find the necklace...
No matter who they were... she would certainly be endlessly grateful!
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
Mother Ou abruptly looked up and instructed her assistant beside her, "Quick, open the door!"
