Chapter 1186: 1186 I Will Not Let Her Go

1186 I Will Not Let Her Go

Xia Yunlou hurriedly pulled Xia Mengyan away. “Alright! Let’s go! I really don’t understand what’s wrong with me coming to my sister’s property! Don’t regret chasing us away today!”

Xia Mengyan was still indignant. She stared fixedly at the shell wind chime and suddenly reached out to pick it up.

Qiao Xi’s eyes narrowed slightly as a trace of coldness flashed through them.

Xia Mengyan looked helpless. “Xi Xi, I really want this wind chime. If… you’re still unwilling, I won’t take it away. But I just want to take a look at it. As for this bracelet…”

“Mengyan! She’s not even willing to give you a gift in return. Why should you give her a bracelet?!” Xia Yunlou hurriedly snatched the velvet box from Qiao Xi’s hand and stuffed it into Xia Mengyan’s arms. She really hated Qiao Xi’s personality. Her eyes were filled with coldness and disdain. She had no mother-daughter relationship with her at all. She would rather not have given birth to this daughter!

It was just a shell wind chime, but Qiao Xi was unwilling to give it to Mengyan. She was too petty! It was too embarrassing!

Xia Yunlou was furious. She pulled Xia Mengyan and was about to leave when a sinister look flashed across Xia Mengyan’s eyes. She pretended to lose her balance and threw the wind chime in her hand to the ground. “Ah…” Then, she staggered a few steps and stepped on the wind chime.

The shells were thin to begin with. When Xia Mengyan stepped on it, a few of the shells shattered. The white fragments fell on the brown floor, looking so dazzling.

The storage room was silent, and the air seemed to have frozen. Qiao Xi was stunned.

Xia Mengyan looked down at the fragments and pretended to be flustered. Then, she said in a trembling voice, “Xi Xi, I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose.”

She was trembling in fear like an innocent girl who had broken someone else’s things. She could only apologize profusely. “I’m sorry, Xi Xi. It’s all my fault for not holding the wind chime properly. I…”

Seeing Xia Mengyan apologize crazily, Xia Yunlou was even angrier. Her heart ached for Xia Mengyan, and she could not bear to see her apologize to Qiao Xi so humbly.

“It’s just a worthless shell wind chime. If you really like it, Mengyan will compensate you for it. Qiao Xi, don’t make things difficult for Mengyan! We’ll leave now!”

Xia Mengyan cried in fear and sobbed softly. “Xi Xi, I’m sorry. Don’t be angry with me. I can compensate you. I’ll buy whatever shell wind chime you want. If you’re not satisfied, I can personally go to the seaside to pick up shells and make you a new wind chime.”

As she spoke, Xia Mengyan was already pulled to the door by Xia Yunlou. She lowered her head and smiled triumphantly.

Since Qiao Xi did not allow her to take any jewelry, she would destroy Qiao Xi’s most cherished shell wind chime. She would even give her a reputation for being petty.

Qiao Xi watched the two of them leave and did not stop them.

Gu Zheng leaned over and picked up the shell wind chime. A few of the shells had shattered, but most of them were still intact. He held the wind chime in his palm and handed it to Qiao Xi. “Your wind chime.”

Qiao Xi reached out to take it and sized it up carefully. Her serious expression made Gu Zheng involuntarily laugh. “You came over so early in the morning just to look for this wind chime? Since you value it so much and she broke your wind chime, aren’t you going to punish her?”

She looked at it for a long time before finally placing it on the table. “This isn’t the wind chime I’m looking for.”

“Huh?” Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow.

Qiao Xi said casually, “My wind chime is very ordinary. It’s made of shells that can be seen everywhere. Moreover, the craftsmanship is a little rough. However, this seashell wind chime was carved and embedded with some gems. The largest shell is even engraved with the words ‘Zhu Jin.’ My mother has a lot of Zhu Jin’s works. This is one of them.”

“Zhu Jin’s works aren’t worth much, but they’re very valuable. Moreover, there are very few existing works. To collectors, this is a priceless treasure. Xia Mengyan has been around the world for so many years, so she must have heard of Zhu Jin.”

Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows and said casually, “She broke my things, so of course she has to be punished. She can either compensate or go to jail. It’s up to her. In short, I won’t let her off easily.”

“My Xi Xi is so smart.” Gu Zheng smiled, hiding the killing intent in his eyes. If Xi Xi didn’t make a move, he would naturally take revenge for her. However, if he did it on her behalf, things wouldn’t end with just Xia Mengyan having to compensate for the damage.

Not long after, Qiao Xi found another shell wind chime in the storage room. It was indeed as Qiao Xi had said. It was very ordinary and could be seen everywhere. It did not have any special characteristics. Gu Zheng did not know why Qiao Xi valued this wind chime so much.
