Chapter 486: Must Make a Choice
Wait a moment.Necklace?
The necklace Qiao Qianmo helped Mrs. Ou find?
Xia Xiyan’s gaze fell on the necklace around Mrs. Ou’s neck.
Her vision flickered.
It was indeed that platinum necklace.
Clenching her small hand, Xiyan opened her mouth and said, "Mrs. Ou, you just said... this necklace was found by Qiao Qianmo for you?"
Mrs. Ou sneered coldly, "That’s right, it was Momo who found it for me. She even got heatstroke looking for it!"
"She’s lying."
Mrs. Ou frowned, "What did you say?"
"I said Qiao Qianmo is lying." Xiyan’s brows knit with seriousness as she enunciated each word.
Ou Jue lowered his gaze and looked at Xiyan, gently tucking her slightly disheveled hair behind her ear. "What’s going on here?"
"At noon, I heard Mrs. Ou’s necklace was lost. Then, when I returned to the set in the afternoon, I overheard some friends from the crew mentioning they saw a stray cat near the East Gate of Film and Television City carrying a necklace in its mouth. It darted into the bushes. I immediately realized it might be Mrs. Ou’s necklace, so I went to the East Gate alone and searched for half a day, fed mosquitoes the whole afternoon, and finally found the necklace," Xiyan explained methodically.
Mrs. Ou lowered her head to look at the necklace on her neck, recalling Qiao Qianmo’s sweaty appearance when she returned to the hotel room.
She spoke harshly, "Dare to spew nonsense again? The necklace was clearly brought back to me by Momo!"
Xiyan shook her head, "I am not lying. When I picked up the necklace, I was very happy, but that happiness didn’t even last two seconds before someone struck me on the back of my neck, knocking me out..."
Mrs. Ou laughed upon hearing this, a mocking laugh. "Oh? Miss Xia is claiming that Momo stole your credit? Do you take me for a fool?! Momo practically grew up under my watch. I know her character better than anyone! She’s always been a kind and thoughtful child. Recently, she’s been tirelessly accompanying me from the hospital and taking care of me—"
After finishing her words, Mrs. Ou fixed a sharp look on Xiyan. "As for you, spouting lies left and right, let me tell you, save your little tricks and schemes! Don’t put on this pitiful act in front of me—it’s useless!"
Xiyan bit her lower lip, "I am telling the truth..."
Mrs. Ou was stubborn to an extreme, "Enough! Not a single person will believe your words!"
"Who says no one believes?" Ou Jue’s voice came through softly, his tone unhurried yet resolute. "I believe."
A simple two-character response felt like a fluttering leaf, swaying and drifting straight into Xiyan’s heart.
Hearing Ou Jue say this, Mrs. Ou was utterly livid.
She had already accumulated plenty of resentment toward Xia Xiyan, and now Ou Jue was openly contradicting her for the sake of this woman?
Did he even still see her, his mother?
"Ou Jue!" Mrs. Ou glared at the tall and handsome young man in front of her. "Momo is your sister!"
"So what? I only trust my woman."
"You—" Mrs. Ou’s whole body trembled with anger, "Let me tell you, the necklace was undoubtedly found by Momo! She’s still waiting downstairs for us now. You will come with me immediately or else..."
Mrs. Ou’s gaze wandered around the hospital room, landing on the half-open window. She strode towards it, stating sternly, "Today, you must make a choice! If you don’t come with me, I will jump out of this window right now!"
