Chapter 74: The Sapphire Is Missing

With a charming smile on her face, Qin Jiao said to Gao Qiao’s grandmother,
...
“Grandma Gao, I wish you good health and blessed longevity.”
Gao Qiao’s grandmother was already 90 years old. She had bright eyes and was healthy. She smiled and nodded. “The lass from the Qin family is getting prettier and sweeter. Whoever marries her in the future will be truly blessed.”
When Qin Jiao heard this, her expression darkened. Because of her ignorance, she had almost harmed Huo Buyu. The Huo Family would never accept her. Previously, she and Huo Buyu had a chance, but now… Qin Jiao hated that man to the core. What an imbecile. She had only wanted to use him to provoke Huo Buyu. Who’d have expected that in the end, he’d go to the extreme and try to kill Huo Buyu out of jealousy!
Huo Buyu almost lost his life in that car accident. He spent more than three months recuperating in the hospital before he fully recovered. The Huo Family had two sons and a daughter. Huo Buyu was the youngest and was doted on by everyone. Everything had been smooth-sailing since he was young. This was the first time in his life that Huo Buyu got into such a serious accident.
That the Huo Family didn’t pursue the matter with Qin Jiao was already giving the Qin Family enough face. If Huo Buyu had met with a disastrous ending, the Huo Family would never have let her off. Previously, Qin Jiao had thought that the Huo Family wouldn’t pursue the matter and that it was history. It wasn’t until Huo Buran came to remind her that she realized, this matter hadn’t been forgotten. Just because the Huo Family didn’t pursue the matter didn’t mean that it hadn’t happened. It was also because of this matter, that the relationship between her and Huo Buyu would never come to fruition.
With Qin Jiao’s silence, the atmosphere turned solemn. Yang Ya tried to smooth things over. “I know that Old Madam has always liked sapphires. Some time ago, I went to South Africa and came across a set of excellent sapphires. I’m giving it to Old Madam specially as a birthday gift. I hope Old Madam likes it.’
Gao Qiao’s grandmother liked sapphires, and there were many sapphires in the house. It was said that because the token of love between her and Gao Qiao’s grandfather was a sapphire, hence she had a special liking for the stone. Many people knew about this. Yang Ya took out her bag and rummaged through it. She suddenly looked shocked. “What’s going on? I just put it in my bag. Why is it suddenly gone?”
Yang Ya looked flustered and her face turned ashen. Ye Yao was watching from the crowd. When she saw Yang Ya’s expression, she understood at once. That was the trap waiting for her. It was funny… Framing her own daughter like this? Impressive. However, Yang Ya was destined to suffer a double loss today.
Having heard Yang Ya’s exclamation, Qin Jiao immediately snapped out of her sadness and emotions. She cooperatively said aloud, “How is that possible? It was your bag just then. I saw it too. How could it suddenly disappear? Did you put it somewhere?”
Yang Ya replied, “No, I had it with me all the time.”
Qin Jiao then asked, “Has it been stolen?”
Yang Ya’s face turned pale. “Impossible. This is my birthday gift to Old Madam Gao. Who would steal it? Besides, my bag has been with me all this time…”
Yang Ya and Qin Jiao’s exchange went back and forth as though this was real.
Everyone became nervous. This was a precious item that had been lost! Moreover, it was a birthday gift for Old Madam Gao. It must be of some value.
Huo Buyu held Ye Yao’s hand, and a cold glint flashed across his eyes. Even though he had never seen such evil scheming, he had already guessed Yang Ya’s plot. Ye Yao held Huo Buyu’s hand and shook her head at him.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd cried out, “I just saw Yang Ya with a girl. That girl was holding a sapphire in her hand. It seems to be… her!”
The voice was very familiar, and the person was pointing at Ye Yao. Ye Yao looked over and saw a familiar face. It was Ye Sui. Ye Yao almost applauded Ye
Sui. How impressive was it, to be able to sneak in as a spy on such an occasion.
Following Ye Sui’s outcry, everyone’s gaze fell on Ye Yao. Gao Qiao, who was standing by the side, was furious. “What nonsense are you talking about! I invited Ye Yao to this party. What about you? How did you get in? You’re spouting nonsense in front of so many people. Are you crazy?!”
Now, Ye Yao was Gao Qiao’s goddess. To dare insult Ye Yao in front of him was courting death!
Gao Qiao ran straight to his grandmother. “Grandma, don’t listen to their nonsense. Ye Yao is my good friend. Do you think my good friend is a thief?”
Gao Qiao’s grandmother was used to seeing Gao Qiao acting like a scoundrel, but this was the first time he was seen to be so protective of a girl. She suddenly wondered if this girl was Gao Qiao’s girlfriend..
