Chapter 113: A Chance Encounter

Qin Hai hurriedly ran downstairs and summoned the butler and maid to ask them about it. They all said that no one had broken in.

Just then, Mu Lan came home and saw that Qin Hai, who should be in the company, had suddenly returned. She couldn’t help but feel a little confused.

“Why have you come back so early?”

“Why do you care so much? The antique in my study is missing. I suspect that there was a burglar. I want to call the police to get it back.”

The more Qin Hai thought about it, the more he felt that the most important thing was to call the police to get the antique back.

He took out his cell phone to call the police.

Mu Lan was so scared that she hurriedly stopped him. “How could there be a burglar in the house? You must have forgotten where you put it.”

She didn’t expect that Qin Hai would look for the antique just when she took it to register for the auction.

“I left it in the study. I couldn’t find it even after searching for a while. Don’t stop me. I have to call the police as soon as possible so that I can get it back as soon as possible.”

Qin Hai pushed Mu Lan away impatiently because he was anxious. He unlocked his phone screen and started to make a call.

Mu Lan felt that this year was a bad year. Nothing went smoothly.

She couldn’t let Qin Hai call the police. If the police came, not only would they make a fool of themselves, Qin Hai would be even angrier.

She grabbed Qin Hai’s wrist again and stopped him from making a call. “Don’t call the police first. I’ll help you look for it. Call the police again if we can’t find it. Otherwise, you might make a fool of yourself.”

Qin Hai thought about what Mu Lan had said and felt that it made sense.

Mu Lan didn’t wait for Qin Hai to speak and walked up to the second floor. She rushed into the study in a hurry, afraid that Qin Hai would follow her.

After entering, Mu Lan hurriedly took out the box from her bag and put it in another cabinet.

Qin Hai followed her in.

Mu Lan heard the footsteps and pretended to be looking for something. Then, she took out the box and said with a smile, “Look, isn’t it here?”

When Qin Hai saw that Mu Lan had found the antique, he smiled happily. Crow’s feet appeared on the corners of his eyes.

“It’s really there. You’re so attentive. You found it in such a short time. I’ll be leaving then. I won’t be coming back for dinner tonight. Don’t wait for me.”

He took the box from Mu Lan, opened it, and took a look. Then, he turned around and walked out of the door.

After Qin Hai left, Mu Lan collapsed on the sofa. Her eyes were dull and lifeless. She was going to have to pay for breaching the contract again.

Coupled with the amount she had to pay for breaching the first contract, she now owed a large sum of money.

Even if she were to give the other party all her money, it would not be enough.

When she thought of the auction tomorrow and that she could not bring the antique, she knew that the person in charge of the auction was going to sue her again. Her scalp tingled.

Right, she still had jewelry that she could sell for money. Although it was not enough, every cent counted.

She stood up and went to the bedroom. She opened the dressing table. took out all the jewelry that Qin Hai had bought for her, put it into her bag, and went out again.

After the exam-

Qin Shu walked out of school with her backpack on her shoulders. She walked up to Fu Tingyan’s car, opened the door, and got in.

Fu Tingyan started the engine and drove away after Qin Shu fastened her seatbelt.

After driving for a while, Qin Shu realized that something was off. She turned her head and asked Fu Tingyan, “Where are you going?”

Fu Tingyan said lightly, “I am hungry, so I’m going to buy some food and other things on the way.”

Qin Shu didn’t ask any more questions. She watched as the car sped past the bustling streets and arrived at the bustling city center.

She accidentally caught sight of Mu Lan’s figure at the entrance of a shop.

This shop was a century-old shop and was also the only pawn shop in Jiangcheng.

Qin Hai gave Mu Lan a lot of pocket money every month. Would she be so poor that she had to pawn things?

At this moment, the car also stopped.
