Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!

"Who took my things?"

Immediately, she questioned the maid who took care of the family’s daily life.

Her parents had just moved in, so these maids were also new, and it was too normal for them to be dishonest.

But after a round of questioning and searching, it was discovered that the three of them had been busy at the front the whole day and hadn’t even been to the backyard.

The gold bracelet wasn’t particularly valuable to the factory director’s wife, but it was her treasure. How could she not be angry when it disappeared without a reason?

They might as well cancel the family dinner.

The factory director’s wife’s face was gloomy, worse than the weather before a storm.

"Everyone, who saw anyone going to the backyard?!"

Several people busy in the kitchen came over.

The fat cook glared at Jiang Lai, pointed directly at Jiang Lai’s nose without any hesitation.

"Why are you still here when it has nothing to do with you? You must have gone to the backyard to steal something! I’ve seen many people like you, dirty-handed girl, hand over the stuff!"

Standing behind Jiang Lai was Lin Gao, with an intimidating look.

The fat cook knew about his relationship with the Zhang family, but didn’t care, considering him just an unwanted orphan, so what was there to be scared of now?

Jiang Lai patted Lin Gao’s arm, signaling that it was okay, she could handle it herself.

The factory director’s wife was already fuming inside, and upon hearing this, she directly pointed at Jiang Lai.

"Did you go to the backyard?"

"No, wouldn’t this kind of thing require evidence? If you suspect me of stealing just because I’m an outsider, then half the people here would be thieves?"

The factory director’s wife kept a cold face.

"Whether you stole or not, we’ll know by searching."

Jiang Lai had a bag with her, weighed down heavily, and upon opening, it was filled with various knives.

Since it wasn’t in the bag, the fat man suddenly added another sentence.

"It’s hidden on her, search her."

"Haha, search my body? Do you think this is the feudal society? Searching me without any evidence?"

Seeing Jiang Lai’s unwillingness, and with Lin Gao standing beside her, no one dared to actually do anything.

Zhang Shuci stood aside, looking a bit uneasy, with his eyes unintentionally glancing towards Shen Yaoyao.

Then, a low voice came from the corner.

"Jiang Lai, you just went to the backyard."

It was Shen Yaoyao’s voice.

She continued.

"I saw you, didn’t you just come from the backyard? You went wandering in the backyard the first time you came to the factory director’s house as well.

But I believe you’re not that kind of person, let them search you, as long as you’re clean, no one will trouble you.

The meal is ready, everyone’s waiting to eat."

Jiang Lai smiled.

"When you say that, I remember, didn’t you also go to the backyard? So, are you also a suspect?

Since that’s the case, you should be searched too!"

Shen Yaoyao bit her lip, showing an expression of helplessness.

"Jiang Lai, I’m just trying to help you out, why are you saying this? I’ve been busy in the kitchen, where would I have the time to go to the backyard?"

"You’ve been busy at the back, where did you find the time to see me come out from the backyard? Can you think about what you’re saying first?"

Shen Yaoyao’s face changed color.

"Since that’s the case, search me too, alright?"

At this time, the two walked to the middle.

Both were wearing large aprons that cooks would wear, with plenty of pockets inside for convenience of holding things.

Shen Yaoyao looked calmly at Jiang Lai.

"Jiang Lai, this is the last time I’ll help you, you’re really making me feel cold."

"Mm, don’t rush to feel cold, save some energy for later."

Shen Yaoyao wanted to say something, but suddenly a hand grabbed her clothes, followed by a sharp voice from behind.

"It’s on her!! The bracelet is found, it’s on her!!"

Shen Yaoyao was completely frozen, taking nearly ten seconds to realize that it was she who was grabbed, and the bracelet was also found on her!

She hurriedly turned around, looking at the gold bracelet in the other person’s hand, panicking instantly.

"Impossible... this can’t be happening, I didn’t take it, it was supposed to be... be..."

Shen Yaoyao pointed at Jiang Lai, her eyes filled with panic, not knowing where to look.

Jiang Lai stood by, looking surprised.

"Oh my god, Shen Yaoyao, you actually managed to do such sneaky things?!

Good heavens, I was wondering how an apprentice like you could afford shampoo and a big jar of face cream, turns out that’s how!

You’re a habitual offender!"

Throwing accusations, hmm?

Jiang Lai did it all too skillfully.

This kind of trash jumping around really annoyed her, and it was just the right opportunity to deal with it.

The factory director’s wife’s things weren’t easy to steal.

She was vindictive, petty, greedy, always taking benefits for herself, it was the first time someone dared to steal from her.

In an instant, her face turned dark.

Looking at Shen Yaoyao with eyes full of disgust.

Shen Yaoyao was caught by two people, pointing at Jiang Lai, shouting repeatedly.

"It was her! She stole the bracelet and hid it on me! I didn’t steal it, I didn’t steal it!"

What’s most important in these times?

Catching someone red-handed.

No matter how much Shen Yaoyao protested, it couldn’t hide the fact that the bracelet was found on her.

The frantic and scared look would only make people more suspicious of her words.

Jiang Lai added fuel to the fire.

"Search more thoroughly, there might be other things on her."

At this time, someone really started rummaging through her pockets, then fished out a pair of earrings from a pocket sewn inside her clothes, gold with jade, quite valuable.

"Madam! Look! Are these your things?!!"

The factory director’s wife looked intently, immediately slammed the table, and shouted sharply.

"I was wondering where these earrings went! Turns out they were on you!

Good one, Shen Yaoyao, stealing once wasn’t enough, you came back for a second time!

You’re a shameless thief! Call the police! Call them now and have her arrested!"

There was a security department right next to the steel factory, and with such a ruckus, they had already arrived, pinning Shen Yaoyao down on the spot.

Shen Yaoyao cried miserably.

Realizing she was really going to be dragged away, her eyes stayed fixed on Zhang Shuci, seeing him remain silent, she pointed at Zhang Shuci and shouted.

"Shuci! You gave me these things! The earrings and bracelet were all gifts from you!

Speak up, your family won’t do anything to you, tell them!

You said you liked me and that’s why you gave me these things! To protect you from your parents’ reprimand, I kept it secret for you, and this is how you repay me?!

Zhang Shuci!! Weren’t you going to be in a relationship with me? It’s just one sentence for you!

Tell your mom I’m not a thief, tell her!"
