Chapter 23: Let Her Go

"Lin Xue, you're asking me for a gold bracelet?" Leng Xiyue incredulously pointed at her own nose.

"I haven't even seen your gold bracelet, I've been in this room for less than two minutes!"

"Enough with the act, no one else could have taken it but you!" Lin Xue pointed at Leng Xiyue and yelled, "I despise people like you the most, unable to seduce rich men so you resort to stealing their hard-earned possessions, appearing innocent on the surface but dark and devious behind the back!"

"What are you talking about!" Leng Xiyue fumed as she pulled out her phone, "Alright, since you're convinced your bracelet was lost in our motel, I'm calling the police now..."

"Don't you dare call the police!" Lin Xue knocked the phone out of Leng Xiyue's hand, furious, "You did this on purpose, didn't you? You know he and I aren't married, if the police get involved, I could end up in jail!"

"So what do you propose we do?" Leng Xiyue was both angry and annoyed, "You won't let me call the police, yet you insist on getting your bracelet from me. Are you trying to pin this on me today?"

"Hmph!" Lin Xue snorted coldly, sitting down on the bed, "Leng Xiyue, don't deny it. I'm a hundred percent sure you took the bracelet. You recognized me earlier, and you're doing this as revenge.

But you know what? Getting together with Zhou Tian wasn't just my fault. It's because you would never let him touch you that he came to me. If anyone's to blame, it's you for always wanting to play the innocent virgin, forcing him to hook up with me..."

"Enough, stop!" Leng Xiyue immediately intervened, "I don't want to hear about the past, especially anything about you and Zhou Tian."

"If you don't want to listen, that's fine. I don't want to talk about it either. Anyway, besides you, no one else took my gold bracelet. If you don't give it back to me, I won't leave today!"

Saying so, Lin Xue directly lay down on the bed.

"Lin Xue!"

The man who checked into the room with Lin Xue hurried back, "Didn't you say you were coming back for something? Why are you lying down again? Are you trying to get me into trouble?"

"I'm not trying to trouble you; I'm waiting for this woman to hand over the things!" Lin Xue pointed at Leng Xiyue.

Leng Xiyue glanced at the man, suddenly realized something, and pointed at him, "Lin Xue, I really haven't seen your gold bracelet. Ask him, did he take it?"

"Impossible, the bracelet was bought for me by him!" Lin Xue sat up, clinging to the man's arm.

"You're looking for the, the gold bracelet... the bracelet is lost?" The man consciously tightened his grip on his briefcase, looking somewhat unnatural.

He quickly took Lin Xue's hand, coaxing her, "Maybe it was lost somewhere else, let's leave now, I'll buy you a new one next time."

"Impossible, it was lost here!"

Convinced that Leng Xiyue had taken her gold bracelet, Lin Xue pointed at Leng Xiyue and said to the man, "Dear, do you know who she is? She is Leng Xiyue, the one who embarrassed me four years ago. I'm sure, she took the bracelet, she's taking her revenge on me!"

"Is that so?" The man turned his eyeballs around, tucked the briefcase under his arm, and approached Leng Xiyue with an imposing manner, "Ms. Leng, whether you took it or not, the bracelet was lost in your inn, you have to take responsibility, right?"

"Right, 80 grams of gold is worth thirty thousand. If you don't return the bracelet, pay thirty thousand yuan!" Lin Xue said confidently.

"Makes sense, pay up!" The man made the final decision.

"Leng Xiyue, pay up!"

"Pay up!"

Cornered by the two, with nowhere to escape, Leng Xiyue had no choice but to say, "Lin Xue, to be honest with you, I'm in a worse situation now than I was four years ago. Forget thirty thousand, I can't even come up with three hundred. Pressuring me to death won't change that."

"Ha, you're that poor now? No wonder you stole my gold bracelet!" Lin Xue arrogantly grabbed Leng Xiyue by the collar, "You think I want your money? I just want my gold bracelet back, give it to me now!"

"Let her go!" Gong Xinyi entered with a stern shout.
