The abandoned daughter of a wealthy family turns out to be a lucky charm, changing the fate of her e

"I only used the restroom on the second floor."

Shen Zhi calmly explained herself, but clearly no one believed her except her family.

Lu's mother lost her patience and gave the security guard a look.

Shen Zhi was caught off guard when the security guard snatched her teddy bear bag, and even the strap couldn't withstand the force and was torn off.

"My bag...!"

Shen Zhi's eyes reddened with grievance, and she looked like she was about to cry.

Lu Weiwei eagerly snatched it away, pulling up the zipper while saying indignantly:

"The thing is definitely inside, otherwise what are you afraid of? Look..."

Lu Weiwei reached inside, her mocking smile instantly freezing, and her determined gaze gradually cracking.

She searched it several more times, but it was empty; there was no cool, refreshing feel of the longevity lock.

"That's impossible... Where's my longevity lock? How come it's not in your bag?"

Now it was Lu Weiwei's turn to panic.

If she loses the longevity lock, she'll be scolded to death!

Lu Yuze also stepped forward to check, and the two of them were no longer in a calm and composed state.

"Where's the stuff?!"

He clearly instructed the nanny to secretly put the longevity lock into Shen Zhi's bag, and he personally saw the item being put in. How could it be missing?

Shen Zhi burst into tears, covering her face with her small hands, her tiny body trembling with sobs.

"My bag is broken... This is the first bag my mom ever bought me... Waaaaah!"

Shen Zhi bit her lower lip hard to keep herself from laughing out loud.

Fortunately, she discovered it in advance when she went to the toilet and threw it into the flower bushes outside the window. This longevity lock is so important, let Lu Weiwei find it herself!

She won't be as foolish as she was in her past life and fall for a scam.

Shen Zhi didn't put her hand down until she felt her eyes getting wet. She pouted, looking very aggrieved.

Shen Zhi turned and leaped into Shen Mobai's arms, hugging his leg and wiping her tears with her suit trousers.

"Daddy... Zhizhi didn't take... Why did Sister Weiwei break my teddy bear bag...?"

Shen Mobai glanced at the torn Duffy doll bag; the cotton stuffing was spilling out, showing how much force Lu Weiwei had used.

If that force pulls on Zhizhi...

Shen Mobai gasped in shock, his heart in turmoil because of Shen Zhi's tears.

He bent down and hugged Shen Zhi tightly, gently wiping away her hot tears with his fingertips, his eyes filled with tenderness:

"Our Zhizhi has been wronged. Daddy will buy you another one, no, Zhizhi, you can buy as many as you want, okay?"

Shen Zhi buried her tear-streaked face in Shen Mobai's neck, sniffling incessantly.

When the surrounding guests saw that Shen Zhi didn't even dare to cry loudly, but just quietly shed tears, they couldn't help but soften their hearts as well.

They all have children in their families, and if they bump into something or want something, they all cry and scream at the top of their lungs, as if they want to tear the roof off.

Compared to the other two, Shen Zhi's obedience was heartbreaking, and when people looked at Lu Weiwei and her brother, many of them looked at them with reproach.

"Such valuable items were not properly guarded, and you're unjustly accusing a young girl. What kind of behavior is this...?"

"Zhizhi, Auntie has lots of the same teddy bear bags at home. Auntie will give you a lot, okay?"

Shen Zhi shook her head, her eyes red and moist:

"Thank you, Auntie, but those were given to me by my parents, so they're different..."

Be more obedient!

What an obedient little girl!

How could I possibly steal someone else's things!

Shen Mobai's sharp eyes swept over Lu Weiwei and the Lu family couple:

"Mr. Lu, you absolutely must give me an explanation for what happened today!"

Mr. Lu's face also turned ugly, and he glared at Mrs. Lu with displeasure. The latter then vented her anger on the nanny.

"What happened! Where are Miss's things? Did you take them?!"

"...No, madam!"

Lu Weiwei stared intently at Shen Zhi, gritting her teeth as she said:

"The item isn't in the bag, so it's on her! Search her!"

As she spoke, Lu Weiwei was about to step forward and pull off Shen Zhi's clothes, but fortunately Shen Mobai reacted quickly and blocked her movement.

Shi Yue disregarded all moral constraints and pushed Lu Weiwei's shoulder away:

"Have you made enough of a scene? Zhizhi is our Shen family's precious darling! It's not just your Lu family that has daughters!"

"Madam Lu, has Miss Lu been corrupted by the kidnappers? Doesn't she know any manners at all?!"

Most of the people at the scene were parents. Seeing Shen Zhi, who had been wrongly accused after her bag was searched and whose eyes were red from crying, many people felt sorry for her and spoke up for her.

However, some of the Lu family's lackeys continued to chime in:

"A clear conscience fears no accusation. Even the young master of the Ye family said he saw it. Can a child lie?"

"Exactly, searching for her is for her own good. Otherwise, if things get messy, I wouldn't dare let her be my child's classmate in the future."

Shi Yue glanced up and swept her gaze over, her eyes icy, her tone indifferent yet laced with hostility:

"Your child doesn't even qualify for Jiangcheng's elite kindergarten. Stop trying to make yourself look good."

These words clearly demonstrated the importance the Shen family placed on Shen Zhi.

Lu's mother looked at Shi Yue in surprise.

The tuition at Jiangcheng's elite kindergarten is at least a million yuan a year. How could she be willing to adopt an orphan with no blood relation to her?

Even Shen Zhi was taken aback.

How could she possibly attend a prestigious kindergarten?

In her previous life, she attended a regular kindergarten in the Lu family for a year. It was only because of her excellent grades and good performance that her father changed his mind and transferred her to a prestigious kindergarten.

However, because he had missed two years of classes, he made quite a few jokes at the beginning.

Shen Zhi tightened her grip on Shen Mobai's arm.

The Shen family... are truly the best people.

Now that things have come to this, Lu's mother still insists on supporting Lu Weiwei and insists on searching her body.

The Shen family will not back down.

Shi Yue retorted angrily, "She didn't even keep an eye on her own things, and her first reaction was to search other people's things. Why didn't she check her own bag for anything?!"

Shen Zhixing's eyes lit up; it was all thanks to her mother's words of encouragement.

Shen Zhi's wet face turned pale. Touching her empty chest, she said in a panic:

"Dad... Zhizhi's jade gourd is gone. The headmistress said I'd always carried it with me since I was little..."

"When I went to find Sister Weiwei just now, the nanny touched my neck..." Shen Zhi recalled, and the adults quickly realized that the item might have been taken by Lu Weiwei's nanny.

The nanny's face turned even paler.

Shen Mobai and Shi Yue were getting anxious.

This thing might be the only thing Zhizhi's biological parents left her, which is much more important than any longevity lock!

Shen Mobai said coldly, "Since you're going to search them, then search both children at the same time."

"Search if you want, I don't care about taking her things!" Lu Weiwei turned her bag upside down and shook it.

Nothing fell out.

But just as they were about to give up—

A jade pendant, emerald green in color, fell from the bag's inner lining and rolled onto the blanket.

Shen Xingye quickly picked it up, examined it repeatedly, and exclaimed in surprise when he saw the character "栀" (zhi) engraved on the bottom:

"This is Zhizhi's jade gourd! It has her name on it!"

"A gourd, Zhizhi's jade gourd..." The little girl tilted her body to take the jade gourd, holding it carefully in her arms. "This is the jade gourd that Zhizhi has had since she was little!"

Shen Mobai and Shi Yue coldly swept their eyes over the Lu family couple opposite them:

"Shouldn't we be given an explanation for this?"

Lu Weiwei's face turned deathly pale instantly.

Lu Zhenhua's expression also turned somewhat ugly, and he changed his tune again, offering a sophistry:

"Maybe she just didn't pack her things properly and carelessly tossed them into my Weiwei's bag."

That made people want to laugh.

How coincidental must it be that it just happened to be lost, and then just happened to fall into the inner pocket of her bag?

Shen Zhi nestled in Shen Mobai's arms, her soft body trembling slightly, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"...Yes, it's possible that Zhizhi really didn't put it away properly."

The little girl forced herself to finish speaking, her voice tinged with the strain of a sob.

Anyone who heard it would know that Shen Zhi had been wronged.

Lu Weiwei was furious at Shen Zhi's crying and wailing appearance. Just as she was about to open her mouth to scold her, Madam Lu covered her mouth.

"Explain yourself properly, what exactly happened?"

"How would I know!" Lu Weiwei turned her head to free her mouth, her eyes blazing with fury as she stared at Shen Zhi.
