Chapter 4: The Stolen Diamond Necklace
Unexpectedly, Mi Zhen agreed without hesitation: "No problem, I can show it to you now." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info, but didn't you just say that you still have to go to work in the afternoon? ”
"Do you think I'm in the mood to do anything else after you've told me that shocking news?" I said coldly, "I have to make sure for myself that what you tell me is the truth." After the shock, I quickly calmed down, "So take me to see the evidence you said." ”
"Okay." Mi Zhen immediately agreed, "Then let's go, go and see the evidence you want." ”
I got up and left with her, not even considering her intention of inviting me to leave with him, or whether it would be dangerous to go with her to a strange place, and now I was just bent on determining whether my father had actually been involved in the jewel deal. I completely lost the ability to think.
Halfway through, Mizhen suddenly stopped and waited for me to walk next to her, she turned to look at me, "Do you know why I've been obsessed with getting you to ask me why I chose to meet at that café for the first time?" ”
I shook my head and waited for her answer.
"This is where I met your father for the first time, and today is my second time here. It's just that the person I met with was replaced by you. She laughed, "When we met, your dad ordered oolong tea like you." I didn't really know what you looked like until I met you today, or I had only seen your picture, and I didn't know if I could recognize you in person. But when I walked into the café and saw you staring at the oolong tea in a daze, sitting on the sofa chair with the same curvature of your back as I saw your father back then, it was like carving out of a mold, and I immediately determined that you were the girl I was looking for. You two are alike, and I mean not only do you look alike, but you also behave almost identically. The angle of bowing the head is the same, and the drinks are all oolong tea. I remember the first time I met your dad at that café, I used to laugh at why he ordered tea at the café, and it was better to make an appointment at the teahouse than to make an appointment at the teahouse. Do you know what your dad said? ”
I thought for a moment: "She must be saying that she wants to feel the life of young people, but she can't forget the old traditions, right?" "My dad used to complain about his habit of ordering tea in a café, and he always used the same reason to contradict me," my dad used to say. ”
Mi Zhen shook her head: "That's not what he told me. He said that he could stop by and help you buy new coffee beans. ”
When he said this, both of us were silent. After a while, Mi Zhen spoke again: "Actually, you really don't know your father. Or maybe you just know your dad in your eyes, but when he's out of your sight, you're completely unfamiliar with what he looks like. ”
I smiled helplessly and said, "I always thought that those coffees were given to him by others." That's what he told me anyway. Actually, he didn't encourage me to drink coffee, he thought it was too hurtful. So every time I asked him what was going on with the coffee on the table, he told me in a particularly disgusting tone that it was a messy drink from a friend from afar. Really, the look on his face at the time really made me believe the reason she made up. ”
"Because you like it so much."
"So he wanted me to drink all the flavors of the beans." I took it and said, "Why didn't he tell me the truth?" ”
"Be shy." Mi Zhen said, "People of their generation are not very good at expressing feelings, and they always think that if they follow your words too much, they will spoil you too much, and they are afraid that they will spoil you and develop a bad habit of pampering and willfulness." So even if you buy something for you in person, you have to pretend to be disgusted, make up reasons that you didn't buy it for you, but look forward to seeing how happy you are when you receive the gift. ”
I recalled the surprise I felt when I saw the new flavor of coffee beans on the table when I got out of school, and I laughed, "I'm really happy. ”
"Why are you crying again?" Mi Zhen was surprised.
Only then did I feel droplets of water running across my face, and soon my eyes were covered with a layer of mist: "I'm sorry, just thinking about him makes me cry." I haven't fully accepted the fact that he left me. ”
Mi Zhen took out a tissue and asked me to wipe my tears: "Actually, it's me who should say I'm sorry, I always mention your sadness, but if it weren't for the necklace, I don't think I would have come to you for trouble in my life." After all, I don't want Chen Wei to be someone that others hate. Mizhen's apology was very sincere, "But the necklace thing is really tricky, and you'll understand when you see our previous deal." ”
"Necklaces are valuable?" can make the other party so nervous, presumably the diamond necklace that Mi Zhen stole and sold at that time should be expensive. Otherwise, if it's just an ordinary necklace, I think Mi Zhen can find a chance to make up for it, or find a way to buy an identical one, but if I find my dad again and want to get that necklace back, I think that necklace should be quite valuable.
"The necklace itself isn't particularly valuable. It is a white gold chain with a snake pendant set with 0.5 carats of diamonds. If you sell it outside, you can get it for only tens of thousands of yuan. But this necklace is said to have once belonged to an amazing person, so its price has also risen to an incredible amount, which is ridiculously expensive. Mi Zhen stuck out her tongue and continued, "But these are only what I heard from the boss later, in fact, this necklace has been in the store for a long time, and it has been in a state of no one at all, and it has been stored in the safe since then." The reason why no one asks is also because the pendant has the shape of a snake, which looks a bit scary, so few people will take the initiative to pick it. I thought that no one would notice or want to buy this necklace, so I made the idea of selling it, but I didn't expect that a few days ago, someone asked the boss about this necklace and said that he wanted to buy it, and when the boss opened the safe, he found that the necklace was gone, and I realized that I was in a bad situation. That's when I realized that this necklace had a lot of origins. I think your dad sold it cheaply for me. ”
I stared at Mi Zhen with some incredulity, thinking about how the girl in front of me could be unashamed and unrepentant: "Don't you have any repentance at all?" You're stealing. ”
Mi Zhen spread her hands and said, "I know, so what? I'm not alone in doing this kind of thing. It's just that this time I was unlucky and was discovered, and I'm not trying to find a way to actively remedy it? Didn't I look for you just to return the necklace to the boss? ”
"Your idea is simply unreasonable, too much." I said indignantly, "Even if you go back, your actions will be considered theft, you know?" If it hadn't been discovered this time, and you felt that you couldn't protect yourself, you wouldn't want to return the necklace at all, right? I looked at her resentfully, "You're looking for me because your boss is angry and threatens you thieves and employees, right?" For example, want to use extreme measures against the thief who steals the necklace? ”
"Don't talk to me in that tone, and it's not your turn to criticize me. Besides, your father also played a pivotal role in this transaction that you despise, don't you remember? Mi Zhen's temper also came up, and she didn't choose what to say, but she knew that she was wrong, and her voice was obviously much lower.
"That's also without knowing it, you were tricked into getting on a thief ship." I glared at her and added, "She's just too kind to be deceived by you." ”
"Who knows?" Mi Zhen calmed down, still with an indifferent attitude, "I said you don't know your father at all. Although I really didn't tell him where the jewelry came from at first, after so many transactions, it makes sense that he should wonder how I managed to get so many treasures, right? But strangely enough, your father never asked me where these treasures came from. Don't you think that's weird? It's like your father actually knew that the jewelry or ornaments I asked him to sell were not coming from the right way, but he turned a blind eye and continued to help me and make profits for himself. ”
"Shut up, my dad isn't that kind of person." I yelled at her angrily.
She didn't pay attention to me, but continued to take care of herself: "Let's not quarrel with the two of us now, how about we wait for a while to look at the evidence in my hand and then make a judgment?" However, I can say in advance, you want to see the evidence, and don't say that I ruined your father's image in your heart. What I have given you is the truth, and I advise you to be mentally prepared first. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, I have my own eyes, I will judge." I'm still sneering at Mi Zhen.
Mi Zhen didn't show dissatisfaction with my rude attitude, since she calmed down just now, she always used a mocking attitude when talking to me: "But first you are like this, it's not good to be so calm at a young age, if you show a falling apart now because of the little things that are still uncertain, if you encounter something more tragic than these in the future, do you have to adopt a more extreme attitude." She used her index finger to idle her chin and made an innocent thinking appearance, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
"You don't have to worry about my business, you don't even realize what I've been through." I turned my head and yelled at her again.
She grinned as if mocking me and said, "What does your business have to do with me?" You are so angry with me now that you just don't know how to vent your dissatisfaction, I have a request for you, so in your heart I am a better target to bully, you can let you vent the anger in your heart. But in fact, all your sad and unfortunate experiences are your own affairs, and you should also digest and deal with them yourself, instead of negatively venting your emotions on the people around you, so that the people who love you can buy for your sadness. To be honest, I think your behavior is selfish and cowardly. In words you can understand, it's that you take yourself too seriously. ”
