The next day it was just dawn.

Xia Linlin applied anti-swelling ointment in front of the mirror, and looked at the obvious red marks on her cheeks with a terribly gloomy expression.

Damn bitch!

Rude shrew!

Sooner or later she will find an opportunity to take revenge!

"Linlin, is there no other way? This necklace is very valuable. If Xia Zhili knew about it... I have a bad feeling."

Du Xun'er looked at the diamond necklace on the table with a worried look on her face.

Xia Linlin put down the ointment impatiently.

"Oh, Mom, can you please shut up! I'm already annoyed enough. If you don't sell this necklace, do you have any other options? It costs money to go viral. I have to pay four million because I'm the daughter of the Xia family. Otherwise, where will I put my face?"

"There's no other way now but to sell this necklace. Don't worry, Mom. We've had this necklace for so long and no one knows about it. Why are you still worried?"

Jian Xi had so many jewels, and her death was so sudden, so if she lost one or two, no one would know. I guess, besides Jian Xi, no one in this world knows that this necklace is hers. Don't worry.

As long as you follow the plan tonight, and Xia Zhili marries you, then the Xia family will all belong to us. Who will pay attention to this necklace? "

As she spoke, Xia Linlin stood up, closed the exquisite necklace box, carefully put it into her bag, and walked out.

Although Du Xun'er was still worried, she felt that this was the only solution at the moment, so she didn't say anything else.

Just as Xia Linlin reached the door, a clear voice made her stop immediately.

"Sister, why are you going out so early today? Don't you even want to have breakfast?"

Xia Xizhi came over from the side with a smile on his face.

Xia Linlin's face suddenly changed. Why did she come back so early?

"Sister, why do you look so bad? Oh, by the way, sister, did you do a live broadcast last night?"

Xia Xizhi smiled and walked towards her casually.

Xia Linlin's expression changed instantly, confirming her guess.

I was at Xia Zhiji's place last night and didn't have time to watch short videos.

When she woke up in the morning, she noticed some vague traces on the Internet. Putting them together, she roughly guessed that Xia Linlin must have caused trouble when she attended the birthday party last night.

But she should have erased all traces of it quickly by some means.

There was a photo, and she could tell at a glance that what she wore around her neck last night was Jian Xi's diamond necklace.

It costs a lot of money to make something a trending topic. It’s easy to imagine that she must be selling some things, so she came back half an hour earlier today.

Xia Linlin hurriedly passed by, unconsciously tightening her shoulder bag a little, pretending to be calm and smiling.

"Live broadcast? Oh, you said last night, when you attended Mrs. Chu's banquet, you accidentally clicked on the live broadcast. You even found out?"

Xia Linlin's eyes fell on Xia Xizhi's, wondering if she saw anything...

Judging from her eyes, she probably didn't see it. If she had, with her personality, she wouldn't be so calm and would have gone to Xia Zhili to complain long ago.

Xia Linlin's grip on the bag loosened slightly.

"I have something to do today and need to go out, so I won't talk to you for now."

The moment Xia Linlin turned to leave,

"Sister, wait a minute."

Xia Xizhi's eyes fell on her bag and he smiled.

"Give me my mother's necklace."

Xia Linlin's expression suddenly changed. How could a fake rich girl like her recognize that the necklace belonged to Jian Xi?!

Is she framing her?

"Sister, what are you talking about, what necklace?"

Xia Linlin pretended to be confused.

"Sister, stop pretending. I saw the photo last night. The necklace you were wearing belonged to my mother." Xia Xizhi sneered.

Xia Linlin's face turned cold. She didn't believe that a fake rich girl would know about Jian Xi's things from more than ten years ago. She just saw the necklace and wanted it. She was dreaming.

"That's my own necklace. I'm afraid you've misunderstood, sister."

"I misunderstood? Haha." Xia Xizhi laughed.

"Do you know how much that necklace is worth? Can you afford it?"

At this moment, Xia Zhili got up and came out to pour coffee.

"What necklace? What's wrong?"

Xia Linlin spoke first.

"Dad, it was Xizhi who misunderstood. It's okay. Well, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

As she spoke, she gave Xia Xizhi a threatening look from an angle that Xia Zhili couldn't see, and mouthed,

"Fake daughter..."

Xia Linlin thought that after she said these three words, Xia Xizhi would not dare to ask for the necklace anymore, but unfortunately she was wrong. The necklace belonged to Jian Xi, and she had to get it back.

Xia Xizhi sneered, then changed his expression in an instant, pretending to be wronged and innocent as he hugged Xia Zhili's arm tightly.

He said aggrievedly,

"Dad, I didn't misunderstand. My sister took Mother's necklace, and I just want it back."

Xia Linlin's face turned pale. The damn bitch wasn't even afraid that she would tell the truth about her being a fake daughter... How hateful.

Xia Linlin adjusted her expression and pretended to be aggrieved, biting her lip.

"No, Dad, it was my sister who misunderstood. That's really my necklace."

Xia Zhili paused. Jian Xi had whatever necklace she wanted, and she never cared about these things before.

It seems that she really doesn't like Linlin and Xun'er... Is it because he cares about them too much?

For some reason, at this moment, he actually felt a little inexplicably happy.

Xia Zhili smiled and patted Xia Xizhi's head. "It's just a necklace. I'll buy you another one later."

"I don't want anything else but that one. It's Mom's favorite necklace!"

Xia Xizhi took out his phone and showed Xia Zhili the photo of Xia Linlin wearing the necklace. His eyes were red.

"Dad, this is Mom's relic. Mom said it was the first gift you gave her. She treasures it so much that she doesn't want to wear it."

When he saw the necklace in the photo, long-lost memories invaded Xia Zhili's mind, making him stunned.

This was the first piece of jewelry he gave her.

He remembered it because it was originally intended to be given to Du Xun'er, but Du Xun'er happened to dump her, so he gave it to Jian Xi in a fit of anger...

She cherishes it so much...

Looking at Xia Xizhi's red eyes, misty eyes, and the way he bit his lips in grievance.

Xia Zhili suddenly felt a little distressed. He knew that she had always loved him so much.

He was the one who let her down.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was this…”

Noticing Xia Zhili's attitude, Xia Linlin's face suddenly changed.

How did Xia Xizhi know that this was the first gift Xia Zhili gave to Jian Xi? !

This is impossible!

But this was not the time for her to think about this. Before Xia Zhili could speak, she quickly pretended to understand and said,

"So you were talking about this necklace? I thought you were talking about the one I bought.

Sister, I'm sorry, I really didn't know it belonged to Aunt Jian Xi because I didn't put it in the safe. I didn't think it was an expensive necklace. "

"I'm sorry, Dad. I don't know much about jewelry and I didn't realize it was so expensive. I didn't mean to take it. I just wanted to show off at the banquet. It's my fault."

"I'll get it right now!"
