Chapter 18

Who was that destestable man?

She finally understood what Huo Shiting was doing. She paused for a long time, and her eyes turned red, not knowing if it was because of her grievances or sadness.

Huo Shiting looked at her and said slowly, “You feel like crying?”

These words simply made her eyes turn sour. If no one cared about her, she would not be able to shed tears even when she felt aggrieved.

However, now that someone actually cares about her, her grievances could be instantly released. She could no longer hold back her tears.

Then, she suddenly heard the man add a few more words to his incomplete sentence from earlier. “You look so ugly.”

Ye Beisheng held back her tears.

She almost suffocated to death.

After a long silence, she couldn’t help but take out her phone. [This man is a bastard. It’s my mistake to lower my standards by talking to him!]

Huo Shiting was a little surprised.

Why was his junior so talkative today? She was still talking about the same man.

Who was it that was so detestable?

After eating a delicious meal, she went upstairs, feeling satisfied.

Ye Beisheng had quite a lot of assets under her name. Although she didn’t care about that little bit of money, it didn’t mean that she could give it to Ye Anyao.

Since she has no class tomorrow…

It would be perfect for Ye Beisheng to take back whatever belonged to her.

The next afternoon

Ye Beisheng picked up her bag and went out without even looking at Huo Shiting.

Huo Shiting took a sip of tea and snorted.

This woman had quite a temper.

Ye Beisheng found the jewelry store that was under her mother’s name based on her memory.

She casually picked up a jade bracelet and suddenly, an inharmonious voice came from behind.

“Hey, brother Yanling, isn’t that my big sister?”

Ye Beisheng’s body froze as he furrowed his brows. Ye Anyao? And Huo Yanling?

They were really like spirits who refused to leave her side!

Ye Anyao continued, “Brother Yanling, my father has cut off all of her cards. She shouldn’t have any money left now. How can she afford this jade bracelet? I’ve heard of how she’s shoplifted before. She wouldn’t be planning to do the same thing, right…?”

Huo Yanling furrowed his brows and walked towards Ye Beisheng. “Beisheng, since you’re back in An City now, you should get rid of your bad habit of shoplifting that you acquired while you were in the countryside. Fortunately, this shop belongs to Anyao. Otherwise, if you were caught stealing, we wouldn’t be able to protect you.”

Ye Beisheng’s smile disappeared as she casually replied, “Steal? Ye Anyao, why would I steal things from here?”

Everything here belonged to her, alright? Was there a need for her to steal?

Ye Anyao’s expression froze. Tears instantly welled up in her eyes and she started choking.

“Big sister, that’s not what I meant. I don’t believe that you would steal anything, but where would you get the money to buy a jade bracelet like that?”

Ye Anyao carefully looked at Huo Yanling and said, “Big sister, although this shop is mine, it still isn’t nice to steal. Since only Brother Yanling and I know about it, just put the bracelet back, and we’ll pretend that nothing happened, okay?”

One of the customers in the shop overheard this and looked at Ye Beisheng with disdain. “This must be the eldest young lady that the Ye family, brought back from the countryside. Of all things that she could have learned, she learned how to be a thief!”

“The jade bracelet on her wrist is worth more than a million; can Ye Beisheng afford it? If she continues stealing like this, the Ye family would be badly humiliated.”

Ye Beisheng chuckled, but she did not put the jade bracelet back.

She smiled slowly. “More than a million…”
