Lin Xiaojiu was stunned. She didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. She held her in her arms and gently pinched her chubby face. "You make other children cry. If Meng Meng makes other children cry, then she won't be a good child."

"I won't let them cry. I'll make them laugh." Lin Mengmeng hugged Lin Xiaojiu's hand and kissed it again and again. Her cute and adorable appearance made Lin Xiaojiu laugh uncontrollably.

The two of them walked to school laughing. Lin Xiaojiu finished all the procedures under the teacher's guidance, and the last thing the children did was to stay in the classroom to distribute the textbooks.

Lin Mengmeng held onto Lin Xiaojiu's hands tightly. Her round, big, and teary eyes looked pitifully at Lin Xiaojiu. "Mommy, I want you to sit with me."

After saying that, he pushed the little boy beside him. "Hey, go away. This is my mother's seat."

Lin Xiaojiu quickly stopped her and looked at the teacher on the podium. She consoled her in a soft voice, "Mengmeng, this is a child's classroom. Mommy is an adult and can't come in. Mommy is waiting for you at the door, okay? "Hrm?"

"You're lying, you'll definitely take advantage of my inattention and leave." Lin Mengmeng pouted as she looked at Lin Xiaojiu. It was always like this on TV. The adults sent the kids to school, so they secretly left when they weren't paying attention.

Lin Xiaojiu paused, not knowing what to say. This little girl was too smart.

"When you finish school, Mommy will come to pick you up. Really, Mommy won't lie to you …"

After talking for a while, she finally managed to make Lin Mengmeng happy. Lin Xiaojiu was ready to go back home. Since Lin Mengmeng had already gone to the nursery, she could now find a proper job and earn some money to support her family.

Lin Xiaojiu passed by a traffic light on her way home and was considering what kind of job she should get when she heard a sudden screeching of brakes. She snapped out of her shock and turned her head to see a black sports car parked beside her leg.

Lin Xiaojiu did not dare to continue her train of thought.

Huo Yanting sat in the driver's seat and looked at the woman in front of the car. He sneered as he took off his sunglasses.

"Miss? Did no one tell you anything about the matter of the 'clanging porcelain', which was very annoying? "

Seeing Huo Yanting's face, Lin Xiaojiu's first reaction was to be haunted.

This city is so big, why do I always meet him here?

"You misunderstand. I just didn't notice the traffic."

Lin Xiaojiu no longer had any good impressions or expectations of him as she recalled her difficult situation in the bar yesterday.

She looked at Huo Yanting blandly and raised her foot to leave, but was stopped by Huo Yanting once again.

"Miss Lin hasn't received the notice yet?" Huo Yanting's slender eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Lin Xiaojiu with a smile that was not a smile.

"What notice?" Lin Xiaojiu cast a sidelong glance at him, her face filled with doubt.

Huo Yanting didn't have any intention of answering her questions. He smiled evilly and walked to Lin Xiaojiu's side. His face was warm and his eyes were cold. He lifted his hand to wipe her hair that was blown around by the wind. "You will know when the time comes."

After saying that, Huo Yanting drove away, leaving behind Lin Xiaojiu, who was full of doubts and uneasiness.

It was still early when she got home. Lin Xiaojiu glanced at the messy room and prepared to clean it up. The room had been completely disordered after being drunk last night.

Lin Xiaojiu had just finished changing her clothes when her cell phone, which was placed on the tea table in her room, rang.

It was an unknown number.

Lin Xiaojiu only hesitated for a moment. Thinking that something had happened to Lin Mengmeng at school, she quickly picked it up. "Hello?"

"Is that Lin Xiaojiu, Miss Lin?" A low male voice came from the other side, "Someone reported your theft..."

Lin Xiaojiu was shocked and felt baffled. She stole from him? What did he steal?

No matter how miserable she was, Lin Xiaojiu would never do something like that.

"Are you mistaken? How could I steal from you?"

"Are you Lin Xiaojiu, Miss Lin?" The person on the other side seemed to be a bit impatient, and when he asked again, his tone was full of impatience.

Lin Xiaojiu's mind was blank as she nodded dumbly. "I am."

"Then there's nothing wrong with it. Please wait patiently at home for a while. We'll be there soon."

She hung up without waiting for Lin Xiaojiu to say anything. Lin Xiaojiu's heart was in turmoil as she listened to the busy tone coming from the other side of the phone. Was this a prank? Why would anyone report her stealing?

Lin Xiaojiu was no longer in the mood to do anything else. She nervously sat on the sofa, waiting for the police.

Not long after, the doorbell rang. Lin Xiaojiu opened the door and two unfamiliar men flashed their police identification cards in front of her face. They then took out a photo and handed it to Lin Xiaojiu. "Has Miss Lin seen the jade bracelet on the photo?"

Miss Lin curiously took the photo and looked at it. Her face instantly turned pale. It was him again!

"I... "Yes, but, this isn't me …"

"Miss Lin, please show it to us first."

The two policemen looked at each other without any sympathy from Lin Xiaojiu's helplessness and panic.

Lin Xiaojiu's heart sank as she looked at the jade bracelet in the photo. It seemed that Huo Yanting wasn't going to let her go. He actually reported her stealing at the bar yesterday, not to mention that he had troubled her a hundred times.

Huo Yanting knew better than anyone whether she stole the bracelet or not.

"... "Alright." Lin Xiaojiu resigned herself to her fate and nodded. The only thing she could do now was to cooperate with the police investigation. She hoped that they would be able to clear her name.

Back then, she was especially short of money, so she knew that this bracelet was worth quite a bit of money. Originally, she wanted to exchange it for some money to maintain her family, but she had always been reluctant to do so. She would rather suffer a little more than sell this thing.

Lin Xiaojiu couldn't help but smile wryly in her heart. Perhaps when she left back then, she should have returned this bracelet to him.

Lin Xiaojiu was initially panicking, but now she had calmed down. She passed the jade bracelet in the wooden box to a slightly plump policeman and said, "This jade bracelet has been with me for many years, I really didn't steal it."

The person took the wooden box and carefully examined it for a long time. After that, he looked at Lin Xiaojiu with disdain, "Miss, are you joking with me? Do you know how much this jade bracelet is worth? After following you for so many years, if you really could buy such a bracelet, would you still be staying in such a small place? "

After saying that, he placed the bracelet back into the wooden box and handed it over to the other police officer. "How about this, follow us to the police station and record a statement."

Lin Xiaojiu panicked and subconsciously dodged Lin Xiaojiu's hand. "I'm not the one who stole this. If it doesn't work, you can just take it. I don't need it."

How could she leave now? If Zihao wasn't home, what would happen if she left Mengmeng?
