Chapter 1590 - The Gu Family Would Really Become A Laughing Stock
Hearing the police officer’s words, Gu Zhiqian looked up at Guan Meiyi and realized why Guan Meiyi had stayed here to eat, so he said coldly, "The jade pieces on the display cabinet are all antiques from the Ming dynasty, and they are very valuable. If Butler Xu really stole them, then that will be enough for you to go to jail for a few years."
Butlerr Xu was stunned when he heard this. Didn’t Sister Liu say that the things on the display cabinet were fake and worthless? She also said that as long as he liked them, he could take one or two back. It was because he heard this that he picked this jade piece to take back. But why did it turn out to be a Ming dynasty antique that was very valuable?
In fact, those jade slips were all antiques from the Ming dynasty. Gu Zhiqian bought them from the collector to give them to Guan Meiyi’s grandmother, Madam Ling. Madam Ling didn’t have any other hobbies besides collecting antiques. Madam Ling and Guan Meiyi’s mother, Ling Qi, were both living in the countryside. Gu Zhiqian wanted to accompany Guan Meiyi to take a look after he was done with his work.
Even though Madam Ling didn’t treat Ling Tianya very well, she still loved Guan Meiyi very much. Gu Zhiqian thought he should treat her better because of that.
Butler Xu was sweating profusely, and the nervous expression on his face showed his guilt. "No... I didn’t steal... No..."
Butler Xu was stunned and backed away. He knew that he had fallen into Guan Meiyi’s trap, and the jade slip was still with him. If Guan Meiyi insisted that he stole it, he would have no way to defend himself.
"Cut the crap. Hand over the jade slip!" The police shouted at Butler Xu.
"I didn’t steal it... I didn’t..." Butler Xu stuttered.
Old Master Gu’s expression was extremely ugly. The Elders of the Gu family and their families were all here. First, Fang Hua was stirring up a ruckus in search of her ring, and now, Butler Xu was suspected of stealing things!
Seeing that the police were only targeting Butler Xu and didn’t care about hier ring, Fang Hua shouted at the police angrily, "Don’t you guys know how to do your job? I told you that my ring was stolen by Guan Meiyi. Why aren’t you guys searching Guan Meiyi’s body and finding the ring for me?!"
After Fang Hua spoke to the police rudely, a police officer looked at her calmly and said, "We received a report to investigate the matter of the jade slip. If your ring is lost, you can call the police yourself!"
"Aren’t you the police? I’m telling you now, my ring is missing. She stole it. Isn’t that considered calling the police? Could it be that you police officers are also biased and seeing that Guan Meiyi is good-looking, you guys were mesmerized by her and won’t hold her accountable anymore?!"
"Please watch your words! We are the People’s police. We won’t allow you to humiliate us as you please!" A police officer warned Fang Hua sternly.
However, Fang Hua wasn’t intimidated at all. "What the People’s police? Don’t you guys get paid because of us taxpayers?! Our Fang family is a big taxpayer, so my words are the imperial edict!"
Fang Hua had completely lost her sense of reason at this time. Her only goal was to destroy Guan Meiyi and let the police take Guan Meiyi away.
Fang Hua’s words have really crossed the line, and even Gu Zhilin couldn’t bear to listen to her anymore. The other party were police officers. If she continued to speak rudely, it was very likely that she would be taken away by the police and detained.
If word that the Young Madam of the Gu family was detained for insulting the police were to spread, the Gu family would really become a laughing stock.
