Oh my god! My secret husband is a billionaire

When the police were mentioned, Sister Ling started to panic and pointed at Jiang Li.

"The facts are right here, there's no need to call the police. If this gets out, it'll be embarrassing to see a thief at our Chen family's banquet. If you're not satisfied, why not let us search you?"

Before the maid Zhang Ling could finish her words, she was slapped hard in the face.

"What the hell are you yelling about?"

"Whoever dares to search my daughter-in-law, stand up!"

It was Ms. Song who was speaking. She was so domineering and majestic at this moment that Jiang Li could hardly associate her with the silly and clumsy lady from that day.

She had come here quietly, wanting to take a sneak peek at her daughter-in-law, but unexpectedly she happened to see her daughter-in-law being bullied, so she stood up and supported her.

"Our Qin Group has hundreds of billions of assets. We can't afford any jewelry or necklace my daughter-in-law wants. Why would we be so concerned about your Chen family's tiny stone?"

"Mrs. Chen, if you have rabies, go to the hospital. Don't bite people like that."

Mrs. Chen is one of the most influential figures in the wealthy circle and has never suffered such an insult.

He rolled up his sleeves and started to act like a spoiled brat without caring about his image.

"Your daughter-in-law is right to steal someone's necklace? Such a dirty little bitch is only rare in your Qin family."

"It's bad enough that she stole my diamonds, but she even tried to seduce my son. How shameless! Bah!"

"When the Chen family is looking for a daughter-in-law, we want one with a clean background and of equal social status. Those poor bastards from the mountains who dream of marrying into a wealthy family all day long are truly shameless."

"You, you, you, you are the shameless one!" It's okay for the elegant and dignified Ms. Song to be reasonable, but it's really difficult for her to be like a shrew like Mrs. Chen.

Seeing that her face was red and her neck was thick, but she couldn't utter a decent word, Jiang Li straightened his back, pulled Ms. Song over to protect her behind him, and walked onto the court with a heroic and confident look.

"I've lived for over twenty years and have seen some great actors, but I've never seen one as skilled as Mrs. Chen. She staged and acted out this whole internal theft drama, and then even framed others to clear her name. What a palace intrigue!"

"I'd like to ask, Mrs. Chen, if you're aware that defaming someone is a crime. You've had too many delicacies, and prison food tastes especially good. You want to experience the flavors of a prison, right?"

"You, you, you, what did you say?" This time it was Mrs. Chen's turn to be speechless, and Jiang Li choked her to the point of confusion.

The main reason was that her aura was too fierce, and her fists were clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound, which made people shudder.

"What am I saying? Mrs. Chen, don't you understand?"

"I was originally going to Xixi's room to change clothes, but this maid insisted on taking me to your room and then framed me. If it weren't for your instructions, I don't believe this maid would have the courage to do such a big deal."

"I guess she was going to put the necklace on me and then blatantly slander me. But I refused, so you had to frame me, right?"

Mrs. Chen thought that even if the truth was revealed, Sister Ling would take the blame. She didn't expect that she guessed the truth so quickly.

"Nonsense. Is my Chen family short of money? Why would I frame a little star from the mountains like you?"

When it comes to money, Ms. Song's momentum immediately rises.

"Tsk, your Chen family is so arrogant. Your family's small assets are nothing compared to our Qin family."

"A few years ago, who was it that came to our Qin family and begged for investment and support?"

Although Ms. Song is not good at arguing, she has never lost when it comes to showing off her wealth.

For the sake of Chen Xi and Chen Xu, Jiang Li decided to give Mrs. Chen another chance. "Madam, where did you put your necklace? Are you sure I took it?"

Mrs. Chen was in a dilemma at the moment. Hundreds of eyes were staring at her. If she changed her words, wouldn't she be slapping herself in the face?

"My necklace is indeed lost. Sister Ling said that you were the only one who entered my bedroom. As for who took it, it's self-evident. If Ms. Jiang denies it, I'll just give it to you. It's no big deal. 80 million is just a small amount of money to our Chen family."

"You, you, you, you farted..." Ms. Song's face turned red again. She wanted to swear, but she was at a loss for words.

Jiang Li felt anxious for this unlucky mother-in-law and once again pulled her behind him to protect her.

"Since Mrs. Chen insists that I stole the necklace, then call the police!"

Hearing the word "call the police," servant Zhang Ling broke out in a cold sweat again, her face flushed. "The necklace is on you. A body search will suffice. There's no need to call the police."

Jiang Li had already guessed that the necklace might be on him, but he still threatened the other party without changing his expression.

"So what if the necklace is on me? Who else has the right to search me except the police officer?"

"Who says that just because I have a necklace on me, I must have stolen it?"

"Have you forgotten that the police can find the real thief by verifying fingerprints?"

"By the way, is there a lawyer here? I'd like to ask, what are the legal responsibilities for stealing 80 million yuan in property or extorting 80 million yuan in compensation from someone?"

"I'm a legal illiterate and don't quite understand. Mrs. Chen and this maid, would you mind explaining it to me?"

Mrs. Chen's face immediately turned green. She had no choice but to vent her anger on Zhang Ling. "Sister Ling, I gave you the necklace and locked it in the password box. How did you keep it safe?"

"I, I..." Zhang Ling was speechless. "Madam, I don't know either!"

Jiang Li patted Mrs. Chen's shoulder and pretended to be kind and comforted her. "Mrs. Chen, don't worry. I will call the police and help you get the necklace back."

Chen Xu looked at Sister Ling's pale face and his mother's panic-stricken expression. There was nothing he didn't understand.

"Ali, don't call the police yet. Can we just settle this privately?"

Jiang Li gave Mrs. Chen a chance and also gave Chen Xu face, but Mrs. Chen was stubborn and refused to change, so don't blame her for being rude.

"Excuse me, Master Chen, how can we settle this privately? Should Mrs. Chen apologize publicly to me, or should I compensate her with an 80 million yuan necklace?"

The so-called private settlement naturally came to nothing. Given my mother's personality, it was impossible for her to make a public apology.

"My mother is confused. Can I apologize to you?"

Jiang Li smiled, a distant and cold smile. "I don't accept it. Whoever did something wrong should take the responsibility."

Chen Xi pushed his mother and begged her. "Mom, just say sorry to A Li. Let it go. A Li will forgive you."

How could Mrs. Chen, who was always arrogant and domineering, bow her head and apologize publicly to a junior? To save her own face, she could only insist that Jiang Li was a thief.

"You're such a traitor! What's there for me to apologize for? She's a thief, and I'm being merciful by not getting back at her. You two are asking me to apologize. Are your brains eaten by pigs? You're helping outsiders bully your own mother?"
