Chapter 115 Put the Blame on Us

"What?" Thinking he had misheard, Tao Qiuyi looked at Wei Jingyuan in surprise, seeing that his eyes were firm and his face was cold.

Tao Qiuyi was startled and blinked several times in succession to make sure that she had not mistaken his determined eyes, cold expression, and invisible aura.

Why did he suddenly become like this?

Stimulated?
The more Tao Qiuyi thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct. He put down the herbs in his hand, sat up straight, faced Wei Jingyuan, and asked seriously, "Wei Jingyuan, are you upset by something?"

"No." After answering, Wei Jingyuan paused, then changed the subject and said, "Maybe."

If he was really stimulated, it must have been caused by her.

Confused by his words, Tao Qiuyi said angrily: "Whether it is or not, you say no one moment and maybe yes the next. It's as good as not saying anything."

It was the first time that Tao Qiuyi met such an awkward person, and she was so tired that she felt tired even talking to him.

She was too lazy to argue with him about whether he was upset or not, because she was not the one who was upset anyway.

Tao Qiuyi directly asked Wei Jingyuan what they said in Comrade Li Hongying's room.

Wei Jingyuan did not hide anything and told the general situation.

After hearing this, Tao Qiuyi was stunned and speechless for a long time. After she recovered, she asked Wei Jingyuan in disbelief. "You guys talked in the room for so long, just arguing about whether to search me and the room I live in."

"Such a simple question?"

"This problem is not simple and it is very serious." Wei Jingyuan corrected her seriously.

"What's so serious about it?" Tao Qiuyi asked with a smile.

Because it concerns you, it is very serious. Wei Jingyuan couldn't say this and looked at her with deep eyes.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Tao Qiuyi didn't care. She remembered that his fourth uncle and the old branch secretary were on his side and firmly opposed Li Hongying and others searching her body and the house she lived in.

Tao Qiuyi really didn't expect that her fourth uncle and the old branch secretary would trust her so much. She suddenly felt a little ashamed.

And he, he knew everything, but he would rather endure the abuse from his relatives and elders and firmly defend her.

"Wei Jingyuan." Tao Qiuyi raised an eyebrow and looked at him. "You know full well that it was me who stole your grandmother and the others' money and tickets. To protect me, you lied with your eyes wide open. Is that really okay?"

"They have no evidence." Wei Jingyuan added without hesitation, "Even if you left evidence, I can destroy it for them."

He has been in the army for so many years, and if he can't even do such a small thing, there is no way he will be able to come back alive after going on a mission.

"How could I leave any evidence?" Tao Qiuyi's pretty face darkened and she glared at him angrily. She felt that Wei Jingyuan's words were an insult to her.

Don't underestimate her. Her other profession in her previous life was stealing. There is nothing in the world that she cannot steal, except for things she doesn't know exist and things she doesn't want to steal.

Not understanding why she suddenly got angry, Wei Jingyuan thought carefully about what he had said and didn't find anything wrong.

If she accidentally left any evidence, he could destroy it for them. He was clearly saying something to reassure her, but why did it make her angry? Wei Jingyuan was puzzled.

Unable to figure it out, Wei Jingyuan chose to change the subject, "Grandma said she was stolen over 200 yuan, my aunt said she was stolen over 600 yuan, and my third aunt said she was stolen over 400 yuan."

"The three of us lost a total of over 1,300 yuan. As for how much money was lost in the tickets, grandma and the others didn't elaborate."

"No, that's not right." Tao Qiuyi felt something was wrong the more he listened. He frowned and thought about it again and again, then said firmly, "No, the number is wrong."

"Hmm?" Wei Jingyuan looked at her in confusion.

Tao Qiuyi simply took out the money and a few banknotes she had taken from Li Hongying's room, put them on the table, and pushed them in front of Wei Jingyuan. Wei Jingyuan's pupils shrank, and his sharp eyes stared at Tao Qiuyi's cotton-padded jacket pocket. How could her cotton-padded jacket pocket hold so much money and banknotes?

"Look, I took all the integers and left the zeros for them." Tao Qiuyi's little hands were rummaging through the numbers.

"So, one of them is lying." Wei Jingyuan looked away after taking a look at the money and tickets on the table.

"It must be your third aunt." Tao Qiuyi said confidently.

Wei Jingyuan asked, "Are you so sure?"

"Don't you think it's her?" Tao Qiuyi asked back.

"It's her." Wei Jingyuan nodded. "However, based on my observation today, Third Aunt probably doesn't know that you took her money and tickets as well."

"I didn't..." Tao Qiuyi was about to refute, but suddenly stopped.

Oops, she forgot that when she took the quilt back, she also took Li Yuegui's money and tickets. She took everything without leaving any behind.

She also left some for Comrade Li Hongying and my aunt.

She was really sorry. She had previously suspected that Li Yuegui was crying "stop thief" and wanted to take advantage of the situation. She really misunderstood her.

"Yes, yes, I took it. I took it all." Tao Qiuyi admitted without any guilt. "But she doesn't know I took her money and tickets, so why did she join in the fun?"

Wei Jingyuan replied, "Of course, it was to cover up the fact that she took the change you left. I think her real intention was to take advantage of Grandma and Great Aunt's absence, steal their money and tickets, and pin the blame on you or us."

"I just didn't expect that you went in front and took the lion's share, and she picked up the remaining balance at the back."

Tao Qiuyi slammed the table and stood up angrily, "She took advantage of the situation and threw the blame on me."

What she hates most is people who dare to do things but not take responsibility, and then pass the buck everywhere.

Watching the table shake a few times, Wei Jingyuan secretly thanked God that she didn't slam the table really hard, otherwise, the table would have fallen apart.

Wei Jingyuan reached out and held her little hand that had slapped the table, then turned over her palm to check.

"What are you looking at while holding my hand?" Tao Qiuyi was confused by his actions.

"See if your hand is hurt," Wei Jingyuan replied, noting that her palm was only slightly red, but otherwise normal. "You shouldn't hurt yourself even if you're angry."

Tao Qiuyi felt uncomfortable instantly, especially when she felt the warmth of his hand, and quickly shook his hand off.

She was very strong and Wei Jingyuan was caught off guard, so his body fell backwards uncontrollably. Tao Qiuyi was startled and hurriedly grabbed his hand, but she didn't expect to be dragged to the ground by him.

Tao Qiuyi was on top, and Wei Jingyuan was the backup.

With his body stiff, Wei Jingyuan lowered his head and saw the head pressed against his chest. He couldn't help but feel his heart beating faster.

The two were too close.

"I'm sorry!" Tao Qiuyi looked up at him. The two of them were so close that she could clearly see the stubble on his angular and resolute chin.

I have to say that Wei Jingyuan has a strong awareness of personal hygiene.

Unlike some men who have unshaven beards and are unkempt, but are not ashamed of it but proud of it. They are disgusting to look at.
