Chapter 411: No Choice But to Hand It Over
"Yours? Since when is it yours? That is my family’s, not yours," Qin Xiangyang really wanted to slap Qin Xiangmei, he truly did. He was at the absolute end of his patience with her. He knew that Qin Xiangmei, not daring to confront them, only knew to bully Granny Lu, who was easy to talk to. This trouble she caused today, he was determined to resolve it for Granny and to prevent any further harassment.
Qin Xiangmei was breathing heavily, her small face turning both pale and flushed. She turned and walked away, but quickly came back, picking up the bedding from the ground. Regardless, she wouldn’t give up the keys. What could they do, forcibly snatch them?
Hmph. A deep snort came from her nose, really behaving as if others had no way to deal with her.
"You’re not giving the key?" Qin Xiangyang’s scoff carried from behind her, involuntarily giving Qin Xiangmei a sense of crisis she couldn’t articulate. Her footsteps faltered, but didn’t stop.
She simply wouldn’t give them up. What could anyone do to her?
"The screen is Brother Jian’s, not ours, just like that house," Qin Xiangyang smirked, knowing this would compel Qin Xiangmei to hand over the key voluntarily. "The screen is worth one hundred thousand yuan. Your private sale of it counts as theft. If the screen isn’t produced, Qin Xiangmei, then get ready to pay back one hundred thousand yuan. Even if you could afford it, you’d still end up in the police station. You know what it’s like there; after all, you’ve been there before."
"Your brother isn’t clean-handed, and you’re the same? Oh Qin Xiangmei, Qin Xiangmei, you even dare to steal something worth one hundred thousand yuan?"
"I didn’t steal it," Qin Xiangmei suddenly shouted sharply, turning herself into the center of attention.
"Whether you did or not, it’s for the police to decide, not me," Qin Xiangyang said casually, leaning against the wall. "If you don’t want to lose face, it’s best you hand over the key. If you don’t, the police will come tomorrow. Qin Xiangmei, if you’re arrested, tell me, how are you going to pay back that one hundred thousand, let alone continue your studies? With a record of dishonesty, I don’t believe any employer would dare to hire you in the future."
