【New Red Mansion】Perfect World

Chapter 221 How can this be considered a burden? It's more like I'm a burden to you.

Jia Lian had been in a state of drunkenness for several days, and he came to see Jia Zhen drunk today.

Jia Zhen was questioning Jia Rong in the tea room: "Tell me, did you take those jewels?"

Jia Rong dared not speak out, so he could only analyze the situation to his father: "Didn't you install a surveillance camera in her room? Besides, you can check the surveillance cameras in the garden. The last time I came back was during the Chinese New Year. Besides, even if I could get into the garden, I don't know the password to her safe!"

Jia Zhen narrowed his eyes, took a puff of his cigar and continued to ask: "Is it possible that there is no accomplice from within this house? If someone helped you steal, did you also cooperate with the insiders and outsiders?"

Jia Rong replied timidly: "It's really not me. If I need money, I can just ask my father for it. Why bother with that? Besides, even if I take it, I don't know where to change it for money."

"Have you ever had this idea?" Jia Zhen followed the clues in the words and prepared to attack her mind.

At this time, there was a knock on the tea room door, interrupting their conversation.

"Please come in."

Jia Lian pushed the door open and Jia Zhen hurriedly offered him a seat, then picked up the teapot and started to make tea.

"Why don't you get out of here?" He raised his eyelids to look at Jia Rong, then scolded him angrily.

Jia Rong responded repeatedly, and without having time to talk to Jia Lian, he took the opportunity to slip away.

"You come at a good time. I just happened to want to talk to you about something." Jia Zhen poured him some tea and then spoke.

"Big brother, what do you want from me?"

"I'm having a hard time making ends meet recently, so I thought I'd lend you some money. I'll give it to you after this period of time."

Jia Lian hung his head, sighed and said, "It's too late. All the money I saved without telling Wang Xifeng is gone..."

Jia Zhen didn't believe it. "Some time ago, when you were playing cards in the casino, I saw that you were generous and didn't look like you were broke. Even if you have been unlucky recently, it's impossible for you to lose everything at once?"

Jia Lian smiled bitterly, then turned to ask Jia Zhen seriously: "Brother, do you know that You Qianning has a fiancé?"

Jia Zhen had no idea what Jia Lian meant by asking this, so he only answered vaguely: "I seem to have heard of him, but I have never seen him."

"It was said that his name was Zhang Hua. A few days ago, I invited You Qianning to a hotel, but her fiancé caught me. I gave all my money to them as compensation."

Jia Zhen slammed the table and said, "He asked for money and you gave it to him? How could you be so foolish? Were you being set up by a blackmailer?"

Jia Lian narrowed his eyes and said, "It's impossible. You Qianning couldn't have done that. I was so nice to her, and she was terrified at the time."

After taking a sip of tea, Jia Zhen asked him, "How did they get in? Is it so easy to kick open the door of the hotel?"

Only then did Jia Lian begin to recall what happened that day.

"No, I locked the door that day. I remember locking it. If the door was kicked open, why didn't the hotel ask me to compensate?"

"So they used the room card to open the door?"

"By the way, You Qianning said she couldn't find her room card. I guess her fiancé took it away."

Jia Zhen felt that Jia Lian was still confused by You Qianning's maze.

"How much did they lose?"

"Five million, seven hundred thousand." Jia Lian answered weakly.

"Is this the price you negotiated? Or is this all you have?" Jia Zhen pressed on.

"They wanted this, and this is just what I had left on my card."

Jia Zhen couldn't help laughing: "Second brother, second brother, I'll give you a nickname. From now on, you can call yourself: Silly and Sweet!"

"What do you mean?"

Jia Zhen raised his voice and said, "They have already felt your bottom line and have prepared a trap for you to fall into."

Jia Zhen suddenly remembered that day when he searched the room at home and found a lot of cards and a piece of paper from You Qianning's bedside table. Wang Xifeng showed it to him at that time, and he remembered that there was a handprint under the page of paper. Suddenly, he connected several things together.

"Not only did they ask for money that day, they also forced you to write a receipt?"

"Well, I was asked to write a letter asking for forgiveness. I was worried that You Qianning would have a hard time, so I wrote it."

Jia Zhen was moved to tears by Jia Lian's stupidity. His younger brother was willing to give up everything for the woman outside.

You Qianning had completed all the formalities long ago, and she was now on a plane flying abroad. Sitting next to her was You Kunling, her sister was going to study abroad, and You Qianning was just taking a break.

You Kunning beside him was covered with a blanket, with only his little head exposed, sleeping soundly in the middle of a big pillow.

You Qianning opened the small box she brought with her. Although it was small, it was also a password box. After dialing the password, she pressed the key to open the box. With a "click", the box opened. Inside were several rows of raw gold neatly stacked. The gold seemed to be deliberately made, and each piece was exactly the same shape, and it didn't look like it had any use.

You Kunling didn't know when she woke up. She leaned over to ask You Qianning.

"Sister, what is this for?" She nodded at the pile of raw gold.

Under the dim light, You Qianning picked up a piece of raw gold and played with it in her hand.

"I died from swallowing this in my previous life, so when Wang Xifeng asked me what I wanted, I actually didn't bother to ask her what she wanted, but I wanted to remind myself not to trust men anymore, so I asked her for the gold."

You Kunling smiled: "You should have died from chewing diamonds in your previous life. Now we must be rich." As soon as he finished speaking, You Kunning received a heavy punch from his sister.

Then she asked seriously, "By the way, sister, when did you start cooperating with that jealous woman?"

You Qianning closed the box, locked it and placed it under her feet.

"That day Jia Lian asked me out, and I thought that if he still respected me, then my cooperation with Wang Xifeng would be invalid. So I made an agreement with the person she arranged that if I came out after 20 minutes after I entered the room, the plan would be cancelled. If I didn't come out after 20 minutes, the plan would be implemented.

In fact, I gave Jia Lian a chance, and I also gave myself a chance, a chance to forgive him! But, it is obvious that men are not worthy of trust. "

You Kunling became even more curious and pestered You Qianning to ask what happened next...

"Go to sleep. I've dragged you down. You even want to follow me abroad."

"Sister, you are my only relative in this life. Let's not talk about whether we are a burden or not. Besides, I have long wanted to study ballet abroad. You helped me get a visa and arranged a school for me. This is not a burden at all. It seems more like I am a burden to you."

You Qianning nodded: "It's good that you know it. When you become successful in the future, remember to repay me."

You Kunling nodded obediently, then muttered, "I don't want to stay at the Jia family anymore. They even messed up my room the other day. I must become independent as soon as possible. When I return to China, I will never go to their house again."
