Translator: _Min_
Although Gu Dai had laid out the facts, Gu Ming still insisted, “You must have switched the necklace when we weren’t paying attention. Gu Zhi is so pure and kind; she would never take your stuff!”
Unsurprised by Gu Ming’s stubbornness, Gu Dai took out her phone and waved it, saying, “1 have surveillance cameras installed at the entrance to the villa. If you’re so convinced that I switched the necklace, feel free to check the footage.”
Gu Zhi’s face turned pale in an instant. She had adamantly denied taking the necklace, banking on the fact that Gu Dai had no proof. But now, it turned out Gu Dai had surveillance cameras.
After watching the surveillance footage multiple times, it became abundantly clear that Gu Dai hadn’t switched the necklace. The one she held in her hand was indeed the one that Gu Zhi had given her.
Seeing that Gu Ming and his family were now speechless, Gu Dai leisurely said, “All my other missing clothes, shoes, and accessories also have my name on them. So, please return them as soon as possible.”
Liu Min frowned, reflexively asking, “How can every item possibly have your name on it?”
Gu Dai replied, “If you don’t believe me, you can take me to where my belongings from three years ago are stored, and I’ll show you.”
Without a second thought, Liu Min blurted out, “Fine, I’d like to see where you’ve put your name on these items.”
Reacting to this, Gu Zhi hurriedly stopped Liu Min, “Mom, when did we ever have Gu Dai’s stuff from three years ago?”
Only then did Liu Min snap back to reality, and she looked at Gu Dai with an embarrassed smile, “Oh my, my age is catching up to me. We never took any of your belongings, so how could we possibly have your old stuff?”
Seeing this, Gu Dai had no choice but to say, “Since you all deny it, the only option is to call the police. My missing items are worth quite a bit. If it turns out you did take them, then…”
As Gu Dai picked up her phone and began to dial for the police, Gu Zhi’s heart sank deeper into panic. She hurriedly shouted, “Don’t call the police!”
Gu Ming’s face turned as dark as coal, and he said coldly, “Regardless of the situation, we are still family. Even if your sister took something, she just used it. Is there really a need to involve the police?”
Gu Dai thought she had already braced herself for Gu Ming’s audacity, but at this moment, she realized he was even more shameless than she had ever imagined.
Still poised to call the police, Gu Dai looked at Gu Ming and said, “Before I pointed out the missing clothes, you all vehemently denied taking anything and never mentioned that you were ‘just using them.’ Calling the police seems to be the fastest way to resolve this matter now.”
Gu Ming was not a fool. Seeing that Gu Dai had not immediately called the police, he sensed there was room for negotiation. “So what do you want for you to not call the police?” he asked.
Gu Dai had been waiting for this question. She said, “Actually, 1 was considering that we are relatives, and I had no intention of involving the police. Here’s the deal: 1 won’t make a fuss about how many times my things have been used over these three years. Just return everything to me, and we can put this to rest.”
Upon hearing this, the words “we’re doomed” flashed through the minds of Gu Ming, Liu Min, and Gu Zhi simultaneously.
After they were driven out of the Gu family home, they had no money. Realizing that Gu Dai’s clothes were valuable, they had already sold many of them in a short span. The money they got from selling those items had been nearly wasted. They had no way to buy the clothes back.
However, so much time had passed that Gu Dai probably wouldn’t remember how many items she had in the first place.
Planning to return whatever was left and bluff his way through the situation, Gu Ming agreed, “Alright.”
With just one look at Gu Ming, Gu Dai knew exactly what he was planning. She casually said, “Good. Oh, I remember that 1 had the habit of keeping purchase records three years ago. When you bring the items, I’ll cross-check them with my records, just to make sure you don’t accidentally bring over Gu Zhi’s clothes.”
Gu Ming hadn’t expected Gu Dai to be so cautious as to think of purchase records. Irritated, he couldn’t help but glare at Gu Zhi.
If it weren’t for Gu Zhi wearing that necklace today, how could Gu Dai have thought of this?
Noticing Gu Ming’s glare, Gu Zhi hid behind Liu Min in fear..
