Su Qiao’s face stiffened. She did not expect Su Yan to still remember this matter after so many days had passed. Moreover, they had clearly talked about just a phoenix hairpin the previous time. How did one hairpin become all her jewelry?

“Little sister, I heard that something had happened to your family this time. I was anxious, so I didn’t bring it.”

“It’s okay. I can follow you to your house to get it later.”

Su Qiao was so angry that she gritted her teeth in the face of Su Yan’s constant pressure. She was filled with resentment. Su Qiao’s eyes turned, she said, “Little sister, you’re in such a hurry to get the item back. Did something happen to grandpa? Is he short on money? If that’s the case, I still have it. I can lend it to you..”

Su Yan was the most concerned about her face in the past. Otherwise, she would not have been taken advantage of by Su Qiao for such a long time. She thought that if she brought up this matter, Su Yan would not be embarrassed to mention the matter of getting the jewelry back to her.

However, would Su Yan let her get what she wanted? Obviously, it was impossible.

“Cousin is right. Even if you add in all the jewelry that cousin sister borrowed, it’s still not enough. I wonder how much can you lend me?” Su Yan said faintly. She did not look embarrassed or ashamed at all.

“You little girl, what you gave us already belongs to us. How can we return it to you?”

Su Qiao was speechless at Su Yan’s words. Zhao Xiaofeng could not hold it in any longer. When she saw that they were going to return the benefits they had previously received and that they were going to throw in another sum of money, she immediately became anxious.

Money was Zhao Xiaofeng’s Achilles heel. This was equivalent to taking her life.

“Cousin, are the things I lent you yours?” Su Yan ignored the noisy Zhao Xiaofeng and looked at Su Qiao as she repeated what Zhao Xiaofeng had just said.

Su Qiao’s face turned red from the ridicule in Su Yan’s eyes. Once again, she was embarrassed by her unpresentable mother. Although she did not want to return the jewelry, she wanted her to be as unreasonable as Zhao Xiaofeng.

Su Qiao felt that she could not afford to lose face. If she did that, she would not be able to raise her head in front of Su Yan in the future.

“How can that be? Come back with me to get it later,” Su Qiao said through gritted teeth.

“There’s no need. They’re unimportant.” Su Yan deliberately paused at this point. When she saw the light in Su Qiao and Zhao Xiaofeng’s eyes, she continued, “I won’t go. Let my maid, Chu Tao, accompany you.”

At this point, if Su Qiao could not see that Su Yan was deliberately playing with her, then she would really be stupid. And she was stupid.

“Su Yan, you should be more concerned about your family’s problems. Once grandpa goes in, he probably won’t be able to come out.” This time, Su Qiao had completely shed all pretense of cordiality with Su Yan.

Seeing that Su Qiao finally stopped playing that sister-sister game with her, she sneered. She could not hold it in anymore. There was still a good show waiting for her!

“How do you know that grandpa can’t make it back out? Or is it that you guys are the ones pulling strings behind the scenes?” Su Yan asked with a doubtful look on her face, but in fact, she said it with a positive tone.

“Don’t slander me. I don’t even know what happened. How could I do something to it?” Su Qiao did not dare to admit that she did it at this time. Thinking of the book that the soldier took away, Su Qiao’s heart froze, Su Yan, this brainless person, should not have thought of her.

In her previous life, Su Yan was indeed as Su Qiao had expected. She did not suspect her, but in this life, Su Yan, who had known about this from the start, watched Su Qiao’s performance with a cold smile.

“I won’t trouble cousin for this. Cousin, please return. Chu Tao, follow cousin back and bring back all the jewelry that we lent out to them previously.”
