Zhao Yue didn't expect Shen Lan to be so straightforward. Her rhythm was disrupted. Her eyes flashed and she said hurriedly: "I didn't mean that."

"Ms. Shen, I'm really sorry. I was too anxious and said the wrong thing. Please don't take it to heart."

Her cheeks were pale, but her nose was red from crying. Her voice was choked, and her tears fell like pearls from a broken string, making her look very pitiful.

But everyone present was a shrewd person. Even Wang Ling, who was a thick-skinned man, noticed the doubt in her words and had a complicated expression.

"Yueyue, don't talk nonsense before you have evidence. It's unfair to Shen Lan."

Zhao Yue's tears stopped slightly, and she looked at Wang Ling with red eyes, feeling a pang of bitterness in her heart.

It would be fine if Brother Yun and Shen Lan had a close relationship, but why did even Wang Ling switch sides?

Zhao Yue was heartbroken that her former companions were not on her side, and she cried even harder: "Blame me, it's all my fault. I can't even speak properly. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

The crying sounded sobbing, and Xiao Yun felt a little annoyed. He frowned and said, "Stop crying, find the bracelet first."

His words were effective. Zhao Yue stopped crying as soon as he opened her mouth.

It can be opened and closed as freely as a faucet. Shen Lan was amazed every time she saw it. She had to learn this trick carefully. If used in the right place, it would be very effective.

"Have you checked the surveillance?"

The kitchen is an important place in the Xiao family, and there are surveillance cameras installed in every corner. As long as we investigate, the truth will be revealed.

Zhao Yue pursed her lips, her voice choked with sobs: "I did check, but the bracelet was placed on the table at the door, which happened to be a blind spot for surveillance."

Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows: "How could there be a blind spot for surveillance in the kitchen?"

You must know that since he was poisoned, the kitchen has been the top priority of the Xiao family. Surveillance cameras are installed in every corner, and there are no blind spots at all.

Zhao Yue looked embarrassed. "I asked the people in the monitoring room, and they said that my husband got drunk last time and smashed the surveillance camera at the door, and they haven't had time to install it yet."

She didn't lie. On the night of Wu Ping's death, a photo of his late wife was placed in Xiao Ren's room and the servants were sent away. He moved everything by himself all night and smashed a lot of things in anger.

Perhaps with some shameful intention, Xiao Ren deliberately smashed the surveillance camera at the kitchen door.

After Zhao Yue learned about this, she begged her father to postpone the installation of the new surveillance for two days, and Butler Zhao agreed.

She glanced at Shen Lan obscurely and quickly lowered her head.

Originally, she didn't want to use such dirty means, but Shen Lan posed too great a threat to her.

What about gradual progress and making plans before taking action? After knowing that Shen Lan and Brother Yun were kissing, she threw all these things out of her mind and just wanted to drive Shen Lan away and keep her away from Brother Yun!

Having known Xiao Yun for so many years, Zhao Yue has some understanding of him.

She knew that Brother Yan hated betrayal the most and thieves the second most. Someone with bad character like Shen Lan would dare to steal her jade bracelet today and steal company secrets tomorrow.

Brother Yun is such a cautious person, he would never keep such a dangerous person around.

The corners of Zhao Yue's lips curled up, and the darkness in her eyes was as thick as ink.

"That's quite a coincidence. The surveillance camera broke down, and right after that, Miss Zhao's bracelet was lost... I knew it was an accident, but those who didn't know would think Miss Zhao deliberately framed me."

Who doesn't know how to be sarcastic? As long as Shen Lan is willing, she is a master of yin and yang!

Zhao Yue's eyes turned even redder, and she raised her head in shame and anger: "Shen Lan, what are you talking about? I didn't break the surveillance camera!"

Shen Lan looked at her innocently and quickly slapped his mouth: "I'm so stupid, I can't even speak properly. I'm sorry, I didn't mean that. I'm just too sad. No one wants to be mistaken for a thief."

Xiao Yun's mouth twitched and he looked at her helplessly.

This little girl really knows how to apply what she has learned.

Zhao Yue's face turned pale, she pursed her lips tightly, feeling embarrassed and angry, but she couldn't utter a word.

At this time, Butler Zhao also hurried over.

When he heard what happened from the servant, he immediately knew that this was his daughter's trick and was filled with anger.

How could a smart person like the young master not see through such a crude trick?

Not only will this make it impossible to drive Shen Lan away, but Yueyue's impression in the young master's mind will also plummet. This is a bad move made by his daughter.

What can he do? She is his only daughter, so he can only help to cover up the lie.

"Master, this is my fault. I thought about arranging for someone to install surveillance a few days ago, but there were so many things going on at home these two days that I forgot."

Butler Zhao's face was filled with annoyance. He grabbed Zhao Yue's arm and said, "Yueyue, stop making a fuss. Maybe the bracelet fell into some corner. Go back and look for it carefully. It's just a bracelet. Do you have to make such a fuss? Don't disturb the old lady and the young master's rest."

Zhao Yue also got stubborn and deliberately ignored her father's warning, choking up and saying, "This is not an ordinary bracelet. This is a coming-of-age gift from the old lady. I treasure it very much."

"Miss Shen, please have pity on me and tell me where the bracelet is. Did you accidentally put it away? Return it to me and I won't blame you."
