“No! I haven't had enough! If I don't find my ring today, none of you are allowed to leave!” Fang Hua was no longer targeting Guan Meiyi alone, but everyone in the dining room.
She didn't care much about the ring, but it was indeed a symbol of her status as the Gu family's matriarch. She had nothing but this identity now.
Moreover, she still felt that Guan Meiyi had something to do with this matter. She had to get to the bottom of it today!
Seeing that Fang Hua had gone crazy, Guan Meiyi sat down elegantly. “Okay, I haven't finished my meal yet, and I'm hungry.”
After that, Guan Meiyi continued to enjoy her appetizer. Whether it was her etiquette when eating or her manners, she was more elegant than Fang Hua.
It was then that everyone remembered. Guan Meiyi had been specially trained by the Guan family according to Ruan Zeyan's standards for a wife. Even though she didn't end up with Ruan Zeyan, in terms of etiquette, she was definitely more standardized than any socialite.
From Guan Meiyi's calm and elegant temperament, as well as the gracefulness of her every movement and gesture, she was much better than Fang Hua who was already hysterical.
How could the Young Madam of the Gu family be a brainless person like Fang Hua?
Gu Zhiqian sat next to Guan Meiyi and with gentle eyes, he looked at the woman eating. The doting expression in his eyes and the lovey-dovey interaction between the two made others envious.
Fang Hua was furious. Her ring was missing now, yet the two of them were still being lovey-dovey with each other. She wanted to flip the table over.
At this moment, the servant at the door rushed to report that a police officer had arrived at the house.
Everyone was shocked. Old Master Gu's eyes darkened and he looked at Guan Meiyi unhappily. “Who called the police?!”
Although Old Master Gu asked who called the police, Old Master Gu looked at Guan Meiyi. The only person who had been clamoring to call the police was Guan Meiyi.
Guan Meiyi put down her knife and fork. “Grandpa, I didn't call the police. I've been here the whole time.”
Indeed, Guan Meiyi had been here the whole time, and right under his nose. She didn't even take her phone out, so how could she have called the police?
Then, how did the police know about the ring and come here?
At this time, the maid had already brought a few police officers into the dining room.
When Fang Hua saw the police officer, she immediately pointed at Guan Meiyi and said, “Police, quickly arrest her. She's the one who stole my ring!”
“Your ring?” Hearing Fang Hua's words, the police officers froze and continued to say, “We came here because we received a report from Gu Zhiqian's butler that a jade slip in the display cabinet in the house was missing. According to the surveillance video at the door, the suspect who took the jade slip was your house's butler.”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and looked at Butler Xu.
Butler Xu obviously didn't expect the police to find him, so he stood there in bafflement.
“I didn't… I didn't take it…”
Guan Meiyi looked at the police and said, “Officer, isn't there a mistake?”
“How could there be a mistake? The surveillance video clearly recorded that this person took the jade piece from the cabinet and put it in his pocket.”
“Surveillance video…” Butler Xu's forehead was already covered in sweat. He had clearly seen that there was no surveillance camera in that house, and that was why he had the guts to take the jade slip away. But how could this be…
