Chapter 263 He is like a big umbrella, giving her a sense of security
她这些天连续丢失心爱的首饰也就算了，如今，竟连她母亲生前送的玉佩也没了，她现在真恨不得把小偷揪出来狠狠揍一顿。
When Wen Jiu saw this scene, he paused and realized that this matter might not be simple.
"Young mistress." Butler Li called.
Only then did Grandma Huo see Wen Jiu in front of the hall door.
"Grandma, what did you throw away again?"
Wen Jiu walked quickly.
"The jade pendant I usually wear, I took it off yesterday when I took a shower and kept it on the dressing table. I saw it in the morning. But when I was about to put it on, I found that the jade pendant was gone." Grandma Huo said truthfully with a sad face.
"How could this happen? Butler Li, haven't you found anything yet?"
"There are many people in the house, and there is no surveillance in the old lady's bedroom area. The closest surveillance to the old lady's bedroom, except for a few servants doing cleaning, only Miss Shu and you, Miss Shu, and you have entered... I have entered the servants' room. I searched, but found nothing. Miss Shu also left in the afternoon, so it’s really difficult to check.”
Although Butler Li did not dare to point the finger at Wen Jiu, he pointed the finger directly at her in every word.
"Call the police." Wen Jiu suggested.
"This is also a family matter. The old lady doesn't want to cause too much embarrassment. It is of course best if she can resolve it at home."
"How long will it take Butler Li to solve the problem? Now the whole family thinks that I stole grandma's things. If you don't find out the real thief, it will be difficult for me to clear the suspicion." Wen Jiu said with a serious expression.
"How could it be? Is this still said in the family?" Grandma Huo frowned.
Butler Li said with a helpless face: "Old madam, if everyone insists on thinking so, then I have nothing to do. I can only strictly control everyone's entry into the old madam's bedroom area and step up the investigation."
"Then you should investigate as soon as possible. You have really wronged us Xiaojiu..."
As Grandma Huo spoke, she patted the back of Wen Jiu's hand and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, Xiaojiu, no matter what others say, Grandma believes in you as a person, and, I still say that everything in the Huo family has small For a long time, only brainless people will talk nonsense behind their backs."
Grandma Huo had a cold face, and Butler Li nodded in agreement.
"By the way, Xiaojiu, I will accompany my grandma to my best friend's house for a party tomorrow. Butler Li will bring the dress to you later. You can try it on to see if it fits."
"Okay grandma."
Huo Beimo is not at home, and grandma is going to attend the party because she is old, so Wen Jiu naturally has the obligation to accompany her.
"Also... let me think about what jewelry is suitable for you to wear then? I remember asking Bei Mo to give you the Brilliant Peak ring that is a family inheritance. Why have I never seen you wearing it? Do you still keep it?" Grandma Huo asked.
"Yeah, yeah, it's just because it's so expensive that I've always been reluctant to wear it."
Wen Jiu's words made Grandma Huo laugh heartily. "You kid, you are so frugal. I don't even know where the rumor in my family that I suspected you of stealing things came from. Jewelry is just for wearing. Why would you be reluctant to part with it?"
Wen was embarrassed for a long time, but at the same time, he was really grateful to Grandma Huo for always trusting her unconditionally.
She has obviously made negative remarks about her, but she has never disliked her family background, which is hugely different from that of the Huo family.
"As far as I know, Bei Mo later took a photo of the Brilliant Summit necklace and gave it to you. You can wear a complete set of Brilliant Summit tomorrow, how about it?"
"Sure, grandma." Wen Jiu replied obediently.
After that, Wen Jiu returned to the bedroom.
Although the thief incident made her very upset, the thief was not so easy to catch, so it was useless for her to be anxious.
On the same day, Butler Li sent Wen Jiu a tailor-made dress. After Wen Jiu tried it on, she found that it fit her very well, so she opened her jewelry box and planned to find the Brilliant Peak to try on.
Unexpectedly, the dazzling peak disappeared.
Wen Jiu rummaged through the dressing table and couldn't find it in the entire bedroom.
Thinking of the thief at home, her heart skipped a beat.
Could her set of jewelry worth hundreds of millions have been stolen?
Over the years, every time she missed Huo Beimo, she would take out her jewelry, stare at it for a long time, touch it every time, and then hide it, not wanting to show it out.
That was her most cherished thing, a gift from her beloved man.
At this time, my heart plummeted, and I could suddenly understand my grandma's feelings of losing her beloved things.
On the spot, she wanted to go downstairs and tell her grandma about it, but suddenly she thought that she had been living out of town for these years. She said that her shining peak was stolen. It would not only be difficult to convince others, but others would also suspect that she had stolen something valuable. After selling it, it became even more logical for her to be suspected of having her home stolen.
In addition, grandma may be sad because of this. After all, the Brilliant Peak ring is a family heirloom, and the old man cannot be stimulated at such an old age.
So no, she can't tell grandma about this.
After much thought, she decided to call Hobeimo.
After all, this is no small matter.
She really wanted to cry at this point.
Wen Jiu dialed Huo Beimo's phone with trembling hands.
"I haven't arrived at the hotel yet! Are you missing me again so soon?"
Huo Beimo's voice sounded very happy.
He was really ready to answer her calls 24 hours a day.
Unexpectedly, Wen Jiu was so anxious that he could not speak. When he finally spoke, he was crying.
"Honey, I'm done."
"What's wrong?" Huo Beimo regained his serious expression in a second.
"My house has been burglarized recently. After my grandma's jewelry was lost one after another, I just found out that my dazzling pinnacle was also lost. I'm going to cry to death. What should I do?"
"What? You can throw away the Brilliant Summit at home? Who is so bold?" Huo Beimo's face was filled with disbelief.
"I don't know either. The person who stole grandma's things has not been found yet. My family even suspects that I am the thief. And besides grandma, everyone thinks so. I'm going to be so angry."
"Is there such a thing? What fool would doubt you?" Huo Beimo only felt angry and funny.
Does his wife still need to steal things from the house?
Is it what he usually doesn't do well enough? Did you give everyone in the family this illusion?
He then comforted him: "It's okay. The Brilliant Summit is just a piece of jewelry. I'll deal with it when I get back."
"What a piece of jewelry? It's worth hundreds of millions." Wen Jiu's heart almost broke.
"It's just a piece of jewelry worth hundreds of millions. Nothing is more important than your mood. Besides, Jiujiu, you have to believe that I can handle this matter." Huo Beimo said meaningfully.
The second half of his sentence instantly seemed to give Wen Jiu a reassuring shot.
She knew that he was telling her that no matter what happened, she had to believe that he could handle it well and that she should never bear it or be afraid again.
"Well, I believe you." Wen Jiu calmed down a bit.
It's just that for people with frugal habits like her, it's inevitable to be anxious.
"By the way, grandma asked me to accompany her to a party at my best friend's house tomorrow night, and she also asked me to wear the Brilliant Peak. If I said that the jewelry was lost, wouldn't she be sad?" Wen Jiu was still worried.
"It's okay. I'll call grandma later and give you another set of jewelry to wear."
Wen Jiu's mood gradually calmed down.
Sure enough, it was the right choice to call Huo Beimo.
He was like a big umbrella, giving her, a child without an umbrella, a sense of security.
