Chapter 11
Su Fei also said aggrievedly, “Sister, can you return my bracelet to me? Brother gave it to me. If it was any other jewelry, I would give it to you directly... But this is not...”
Looking at the drama in front of her, Lin Yin crossed her arms and said as if nothing had happened, “How can I return it if I didn’t steal it? I’ve never seen what you’re talking about.”
“You dare to steal but you don’t dare to admit it! Don’t bring your bad habits into the house!” Chu Yun scolded. She trusted Su Fei without a doubt.
“Steal what?”
Su Zhen had arrived unknowingly. He stood behind Lin Yin with an unhappy expression. “What are you doing so early in the morning?!”
Su Fei brought out her usual delicate look and blinked innocently. “Dad, I went to my sister’s room before I went downstairs today. When I came out, I realized that the ruby bracelet that Brother gave me was gone.”
Su Zhen looked at Lin Yin, who spread her hands. “Although I don’t have much experience, I won’t steal anything.”
“This has never happened at home before. Now, there’s a thief? And it’s the day after you came?” Chu Yun was relentless.
Her adopted daughter was pure and flawless. When her biological daughter came, she could slander her in all kinds of ways. It was ridiculous and sad.
“I won’t admit to anything I haven’t done,” Lin Yin replied unwaveringly.
Seeing Su Fei’s aggrieved gaze, Chu Yun’s heart ached. His attitude towards his daughter, who refused to admit it, worsened. “We’ll know if you stole it when we get to your room.”
“It’s up to you guys.” Lin Yin was not afraid at all. She knew how this matter would end.
It was a deadlock. Aunt Li realized that the servant beside her was trembling uncontrollably. While Aunt Li was puzzled, she suddenly realized that she was holding a red bracelet tightly in her hand!
It was Miss Su Fei’s bracelet!
Aunt Li grabbed her hand and the bracelet fell to the ground. Instantly, everyone looked at her.
Su Fei couldn’t believe it either. Her bracelet had clearly been hidden under Lin Yin’s pillow. Why had it appeared in the hands of a servant before they could go up and search for the evidence?
Aunt Li asked in surprise, “Why is Miss Su Fei’s bracelet in your hand?”
The servant was so frightened that she fell to the ground, her face turning pale. She trembled and said, “I... I picked it up at Miss Su Fei’s door... I wanted to ask around, but when I came down, I saw Miss Su Fei crying...”
She sounded like she was about to cry. “I saw that she was anxious. I was afraid that she would misunderstand that I stole it, so I didn’t dare to speak...”
There was silence. Su Fei looked stunned.
This Lin Yin was really too hateful! She actually avoided it. She was really not easy to deal with!
“The Su Family doesn’t raise servants with dirty hands. You can leave.” Su Zhen’s words determined this matter.
Lin Yin looked at the shocked crowd and scoffed. “The truth is out now.”
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Su Fei said pitifully, “It’s good that it’s not Sister. I’m just afraid of misunderstanding Sister and didn’t want to believe that Sister would do such a thing. That’s why I cried so sadly...”
The more sincere Su Fei’s words were, the more disdain Lin Yin felt.
Was she that anxious to chase her away?
Unfortunately, the more anxious she was, the worse her tricks were.
Lin Yin was no longer the little girl she had been in her previous life. Her heart had become hard and cold. No matter how hard Su Fei tried, she could not do anything.
“The matter is settled. Sit down,” Su Zhen said.
The family sat around the dining room again. Su Fei didn’t dare to look into Su Zhen’s eyes. She was afraid that he would see through her. She was afraid that the obedient image she had painstakingly maintained would collapse in front of them. If that happened, she would have no place in the Su Family.
At the dining table, Chu Yun’s face darkened. She had wanted to stand up for Su Fei, but she did not expect it to be just a misunderstanding. This made her feel guilty towards Lin Yin.
Su Fei was in a bad mood and had no appetite for the table full of food, but when she saw Su Zhen eat, she still took a bite.
Only Lin Yin did not move her chopsticks. Su Zhen looked at her in confusion. “Why aren’t you eating?”
“I was wronged and couldn’t eat. I didn’t expect that I was such a person in your hearts. Since you don’t like me, why did you bring me back?” Lin Yin said coldly.
It was rare for Chu Yun to be gentle with Lin Yin. “Little Yin, I’m sorry. It’s Mom’s fault. I’ll definitely ask you first next time and not scold you directly.”
Chu Yun still wanted to touch Lin Yin’s back, but she avoided her.
She felt disgusted.
