I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family

Chapter 387: Chapter 396 It wasn’t you who took it, was it? Chapter 387: Chapter 396 It wasn’t you who took it, was it? Bai Xin looked at her and knew without thinking that she must have taken it. Bai Xin wasn’t in a hurry; she spoke up right away.

“You don’t know it’s fine. I’ll go look for it now. Don’t worry; I can find it.”

Bai Xin started to get up and leave.

Old Mrs. Mu hurried over and grabbed Bai Xin’s hand firmly.

“You can’t go, you can’t go there.”

If she went, wouldn’t it be discovered that she was the one who did it?

“Bai Xin, it’s just a jewelry box. I can get Mu Yi to buy you a better one later,” she said, not wanting to give it back. If it was so good, of course, it should be for her own daughter.

“That won’t do. Can what Mu Yi buys compare to my marriage dowry? Mom, don’t hold on to me. I don’t blame you if you didn’t know, after all, I made sure to lock the door and the cupboard, yet now it’s gone.”

Indeed, Bai Xin had never left it out in the open; she’d put it in the cupboard because she knew some people just have no shame.

To think they’d simply smashed the cupboard. Great, just great.

She was thankful that she wouldn’t have to deal with these people as if they were real family in the future, or she would truly be furious. At this moment, her heart was filled only with relief, no sense of loss whatsoever.

“It won’t work, you can’t go.”

Old Mrs. Mu was gripping her hand even tighter; she definitely couldn’t go.

Mu Yi came back only to find them at an impasse.

“Mom, what are you doing?”

Mu Yi had just gone out to buy groceries: a fish, some meat, and ribs—to entertain guests, this was decent enough.

“Son, quickly tell Bai Xin not to go to the police station; she wants to report me and get me put in jail.”

Seeing Mu Yi, Old Mrs. Mu suddenly acted like she had a backbone and immediately pulled on his hand as she spoke.

“Mom, what are you talking about? How could Xinxin do such a thing?”

Mu Yi subconsciously thought it was impossible and looked toward Bai Xin, seeing that her expression didn’t look good.

“My jewelry box is missing. I asked Mom if she’d seen it, and she said no, so I’m going to report it now. My things have been stolen; this means a thief has broken in. Is there a problem?”

Bai Xin looked at Old Mrs. Mu’s face and felt somewhat disgusted. Was she trying to deny it after taking someone else’s property?

Taking her things as if nothing had happened?

“Is that so, Mom? Then we should go. I know how valuable Xinxin’s jewelry box is.”

Precisely because he had run a grocery store for so many years, he was all the more aware of the jewelry box’s value.

“No, you can’t go,” Old Mrs. Mu said through gritted teeth, refusing to relent.

“Mom, if you don’t let me go, could it be you who took it?”

Bai Xin feigned surprise as she spoke, her eyes shimmering with tears. She then lowered her head and said in a muffled voice,

“Before, things would often disappear from my room, whether it was the silver bracelet that Mu Yi bought for me or watches. I thought to let it go, but this is different. This is the dowry my dad gave me. He carved, polished, and finally lacquered it himself. It’s the result of his painstaking efforts; I absolutely can’t let this pass.”

Bai Xin’s aggrieved and enduring demeanor wasn’t just noted by Mu Yi. There were many outside the door watching the spectacle.

Old Mrs. Mu has always claimed her daughter-in-law is unfilial, but she never mentioned appropriating her daughter-in-law’s dowry.

Taking a daughter-in-law’s dowry would be seen as shameless in any family. They were not so poor as to be unable to lift the lid of the pot, yet she even coveted her daughter-in-law’s dowry. Truly shameless.

Don’t think that everywhere the neighbors get along—sometimes, it’s only on the surface. After all, isn’t there someone in every family who relishes seeing others’ misfortunes?
