Before returning to the hotel, the family of three took a stroll around the jewelry store.

The little one held his mother's hand with one hand and pulled his father with the other, heading straight for the gold jewelry section.

Finally, I fell in love with a complete set of gold headdress and jewelry, the kind worn in traditional weddings, including everything from head ornaments to necklaces, double rings, bracelets, and rings.

"Mom, buy this one! This one is the prettiest!"

Three- or four-year-old children don't really have a concept of large sums of money.

When Lan Yujuan looked at the price, she realized that the 4,500 yuan she had just earned was barely enough to cover the small amount, not even enough to cover the processing fee.

Although she could afford it with her current savings and income, she had no intention of buying it.

"This is too expensive, let's look at some more."

Lan Yujuan pinched her daughter's cheek and was about to continue walking forward.

She felt very happy that her husband and daughter had such kindness!

Even if she only buys one piece of jewelry weighing 0.01 grams today, she will still be happy.

But she didn't expect Chen Mo to reach out and stop her, then directly say to the sales assistant:

"I'll take this set. Pack it up and issue the invoice!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Yujuan's eyes widened instantly. "Why are you buying this?"

"This set of jewelry is obviously for a wedding. It's something you can't wear normally and it just sits in the closet."

The key point is that this whole thing cost nearly seven figures.

This is a jewelry store, not a vegetable market where you can buy cabbage.

The sales assistant next to me was initially just giving a casual introduction and wasn't really paying attention.

Because under normal circumstances, married families with children who come to the store to buy things are usually just making a token purchase.

Such large items are only purchased before marriage, during the most emotionally intense period, or when the bride's family wants to make a good impression.

I've almost never encountered a customer who just wanders in, buys something on a whim, and is simply looking for a good time.

"Sir, are you still buying?"

The sales assistant's eyes lit up as she cautiously asked Chen Mo, afraid that her voice might be too loud and disturb her lucky charm.

"Buy it, wrap it up!"

As Chen Mo spoke with a smile, he took out his bank card and handed it over.

Finally, when Lan Yujuan came out of the jewelry store carrying the gifts, she still felt a little dazed.

The last time Chen Mo gave her such an expensive gift was when they had just gotten their marriage certificate.

However, their relationship was somewhat awkward back then, unlike the legitimate one they have now.

Moreover, those pieces of jewelry were heirlooms of the Qin family, so Lan Yujuan did not accept them.

Unlike now, when she was pleasantly surprised, she received it with a perfectly legitimate reason.

After getting into the car, the little one looked at his mother, who had a silly grin on her face, and offered suggestions with a beaming smile:

"Mom, if you're worried about losing it, you can continue hiding in Grandma's room."

"In Grandma's room, there's a box specifically for storing pretty jewelry. She says those are all yours."

Lan Yujuan was still grinning foolishly when she heard her daughter's words, and for a moment she couldn't quite process it.

"Where's my jewelry box in Grandma's room? You must be mistaken!"

The little one had only said it casually, but when she saw that her mother didn't believe her, she immediately became anxious and quickly explained:

"If I remember correctly, it's Mom's jewelry box!"

"Grandma told me that it was the betrothal gift Dad gave to Mom. Mom was afraid she wouldn't be able to keep it safe, so she temporarily stored it in Grandma's room."

In an instant, a clue flashed through Lan Yujuan's mind, and she immediately turned to look at Chen Mo with a questioning look in her eyes.

Chen Mo awkwardly touched his nose, which was taken as tacit agreement.

At this moment, Lan Yujuan suddenly understood many things.

No wonder the old lady of the Qin family was so confident when she came to urge them to have a child.

In fact, she had already accepted the Qin family's heirlooms, which was a tacit admission of her status as the Qin family's granddaughter-in-law.

Lan Yujuan was staring blankly out the window, lost in thought.

Suddenly, a large hand reached out from the side, ruffled her hair, and whispered soothingly:

"Don't overthink it. What's given to you is what you deserve. Just accept it without worry."

At this moment, Lan Yujuan couldn't think of any other reasons, so she could only convince herself in this way.

When we got back to the hotel, it was almost dinnertime.

The little one was exhausted and starving after a long day, but Lan Yujuan suddenly felt sleepy and couldn't keep her eyes open.

She lay down on the bed, her eyelids drooping, and mumbled:

"You guys go have dinner, don't wait for me, I'm going to lie down for a bit."

Seeing how sleepy she was, Chen Mo couldn't bear to wake her up again.

He quietly adjusted the air conditioner temperature and the lights for her, then covered her with a thin blanket.

"Okay, then lie down for a while. We'll order a midnight snack when you wake up."

After saying that, he took his daughter's hand and went out.

Lan Yujuan was half asleep when she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

She tried to open her eyes and get up to open the door, but her eyelids felt incredibly heavy, and she couldn't wake up.

She vaguely heard the door lock click open from the outside.

She barely opened her eyes a crack, thinking it was Chen Mo, who had brought her daughter back after dinner.

But to my surprise, I only saw a figure in the darkness. After opening the door a crack, the figure quickly slipped into the room without even turning on the light.

It was neither Chen Mo nor did it resemble a room attendant.

In an instant, Lan Yujuan was mostly awake.

Seeing that the other person had not yet noticed her, Lan Yujuan quietly lay on her side on the bedroom bed, silently watching the other person's every move.

But it was clear that the other person was even more nervous than she was.

They stayed in a suite, which had a living room outside, an open bedroom inside, and a study.

After entering the room, the man dared not turn on the lights or draw the curtains, but quietly turned on a flashlight with only a tiny bit of light and headed straight for the study.

Lan Yujuan knew very well that Chen Mo's company documents and his personal notebook were kept in the study.

The person didn't touch the notebook, but took advantage of the fact that "no one was in the bedroom" to quickly find a few sheets of paper in the files, fold them, and stuff them into their pocket.

Then, he took a few blank sheets of paper from the side and put them back in their original place.

Seemingly without anyone noticing, the other party left the bedroom the way they came after doing this.

The moment she opened the door and stepped out, Lan Yujuan finally saw that face clearly in the light of the corridor.

It was a man, and although he was wearing a mask, he had a hairy mole between his eyes, making him very distinctive.

After the other party closed the door and left, Lan Yujuan remained lying on the bed, not daring to move for a long time.

Several minutes passed before Lan Yujuan dared to sit up in bed, quickly picked up her phone, and called Chen Mo.

"While I was asleep, someone entered our room and secretly touched your files..."
