Chapter 205: Coming Again
Jin Chengwu also grinned and said, “Sigh, beauties are so misleading. I didn’t expect a person like Master Cheng to fall for it too.”
Cheng Yang quickly regained his composure and said, “Ying’er, I’ll send you back later. We’ll talk at night if there’s anything else.”
Seeing that he seemed to be busy, Xiao Ying nodded.
She rose from the couch. The amulet she had been carrying fell to the floor. She quickly picked it up.
But at this moment, Jin Chengwu suddenly said, “Sister Ying’er, can you let me see that amulet?”
Xiao Ying handed it to him and asked suspiciously, “You recognize it?”
Jin Chengwu looked at it carefully and said, “Not only do I recognize it, I made this thing myself.”
As soon as he said this, everyone present was shocked. Seeing that they did not believe him, Jin Chengwu introduced her to Xiao Ying, “I am the inheritor of the Shujin embroidery. I’m not boasting, but only I can create such exquisite things. I didn’t expect that the person who came to look for me with the blueprint last time would be you. Last time, I even took so much money from you. I’m really sorry, haha.”
He was still smiling embarrassedly when Xiao Ying suddenly said, “When did you make it?”
Jin Chengwu was a little puzzled, but he still replied, “It was a few days ago. Why? Didn’t you ask me to make this?”
Xiao Ying shook her head, and great waves rose in her heart. This amulet was fake.
She looked at Cheng Yang, who shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know what was going on.
The two of them brought the confused Jin Chengwu to a coffee shop. Xiao Ying asked anxiously, “You said that someone asked you to make this amulet?”
Jin Chengwu recalled for a moment and said, “About five days ago, a woman came to me and asked to customize something. However, the embroidery requirements were very high, so I was curious and made it myself.”
Xiao Ying looked at Jin Chengwu’s hip-hop attire and could not imagine him holding embroidery needles.
Jin Chengwu asked, “What’s wrong with you guys? Is this thing very important? Also, Master Cheng, why have you come to look for me today?”
Cheng Yang had wanted him to make an amulet and design some mechanisms to make the amulet react and give Xiao Ying hope, but it seemed like there was no need for that now.
He said, “It’s alright. Explain this matter first.”
After hearing Jincheng Wu’s explanation, Xiao Ying said, “I understand. The Xiao family.”
“But why would they do that?” Xiao Ying asked another question.
Cheng Yang pondered for a moment and said, “Perhaps it’s because of the amulet—”
“Something’s wrong.” They had all thought of this, and then they said it at the same time.
The two of them got the truth and left the cafe together.
The remaining Jin Chengwu still didn’t know what they were talking about or what he was here for today. A waiter came to his side and said, “Sir, please settle the bill.”
Jin Chengwu swallowed the last mouthful of coffee and took out his wallet angrily to hand the money to the service staff.
He cursed in his heart: This Cheng Yang actually left without paying the bill.
…
Cheng Yang quickly investigated Xiao Ruoxuan’s whereabouts recently, and Xiao Ying went straight to the Xiao family.
Madam Xiao received her.
Madam Xiao said in a mocking tone, “What are you still doing here? Do you think you haven’t harmed us enough?”
Xiao Ying frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”
Madam Xiao mocked, “Don’t pretend to be innocent with me. Didn’t you ask Cheng Yang to suppress the Xiao Corporation?”
Xiao Ying finally understood why the Xiao family had handed the amulet to her so readily, but they had given her a fake one.
Coincidentally, Xiao Ruoxuan came down from upstairs. When she saw Xiao Ying, a hint of guilt flashed across her face.. This expression confirmed Xiao Ying’s suspicions. She said straightforwardly, “The amulet you handed to us last time—”
