She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!

”Zhou Yun, did you take something that belongs to my mom?” Ah Chen interrupted Zhou Yun’s crying.

This one sentence made Zhou Yun’s face turn pale and her lips tremble, rendering her speechless.

Zhou Yun felt as if she was on the verge of being sent to prison. Unlike the maid and the gardener, she took the jewelry because she wanted to wear it; she liked it very much, and of course, she could only wear it secretly, even thinking of keeping it as an heirloom. After all, those pieces of jewelry were worth a fortune, tens or even hundreds of thousands.

The maid and the gardener had sold quite a few items and spent the money. If they returned everything, even if Ah Chen pursued the matter, their sentence might be reduced. But now that Ah Chen was not only pursuing it but they couldn’t return the items, they could only wait to sit in jail.

”It’s better to call the police and let them handle this,” Shen Muyang suggested to Ah Chen. ”Even if she doesn’t admit it, once those two are interrogated, we can match the missing items, and they will send someone to reinvestigate.”

Zhou Yun was scared out of her wits, screaming that she hadn’t sold those items, she just liked them, so she took them back to her room to admire them and would return them immediately.

Facing Ah Chen’s gaze again, Zhou Yun no longer believed that this 16-year-old girl was someone who could be easily manipulated.

The beautiful dreams she had imagined shattered at this moment.

She used to dream that once her son married Qiao Chen, He Sihua’s invaluable jewelry would be hers. She thought that when Qiao Chen married her son, the entire Qiao Family would belong to her.

The beautiful dream shattered too quickly.

But Ah Chen did not go according to her wishes and called the police.

Zhou Yun’s complexion changed again: ”Miss, you can’t be so ruthless.”

”My husband and I have worked in the Qiao Family for so many years; even if we haven’t made achievements, we’ve worked hard, right? If you eradicate us like this, aren’t you afraid that others will turn against you, that no one will help you work?”

Ah Chen glanced at her and said calmly, ”In the Qiao Family, even the basic salary for ordinary maids is ten thousand, not to mention other bonuses and benefits, plus they even have insurance. With such jobs, I think someone would be eager to do them. It’s no longer the old days; employees do their duties and take their salaries. If they betray their employer and plot something, then they should be dealt with accordingly.”

”Shao Baocheng has an annual salary of over a million, yet he plots against his employer. Does he deserve this salary? Achievements and hard work, I think the salary and benefits that the Qiao Family pays him are enough. But you are greedy and even want to scheme for the entire Qiao Family’s assets. This is truly heartless, ungrateful.”

”Who is really ruthless here? You think that I’m a 16-year-old orphan, easy to bully, so you dare to scheme like this. All I did was report to the police because you committed a crime, a normal procedure, and that’s considered ruthless? Who is really ruthless? Installing recording devices on my door lock, pinhole cameras in the room, scaring people in the middle of the night. Even someone with a slight courage would be scared into a mental breakdown.”

”If it weren’t for my grandpa’s prior arrangements, you might have taken some extreme measures.”

”Stop trying to embellish yourself.”

After hearing this, Zhou Yun realized that there was no room for redemption.

Even if she returns the items, given the amount involved and unable to obtain Qiao Chen’s forgiveness, she doesn’t know what she would face.

Zhou Yun was momentarily a bit devastated.

[Justice served!]

[Luckily, the heroine was not deceived by Zhou Yun’s disguise.]

[It’s worth mentioning that in the original storyline, the heroine was played around by the butler’s family.]

[This Zhou Yun and Shao Baocheng are really bad, intending to make the heroine pregnant with Shao Yifan’s child and even drugged her milk.]

[Fortunately, due to some incidents, Shao Baocheng’s family never succeeded, or else it would be terrifying to think she would be pregnant in high school.]

[At least as the heroine, luck is on her side. After all, this is a novel with a complete story arc. There are some hardships in the middle, but it won’t result in the heroine having relationships with other men and giving birth.]

Shao Yifan had just finished packing when he suddenly remembered that Zhou Yun would return today, so he hurriedly dialed her number.

Zhou Yun planned to answer, but at that moment, the police arrived.

Ah Chen briefly explained the situation, and Zhou Yun was then taken by the officers to her place to retrieve the stolen jewelry.

Shao Yifan was initially puzzled as to why Zhou Yun wasn’t picking up the phone, but seeing this scene, his expression turned a bit flustered.

Understanding the situation soon enough, he wasn’t surprised, as he had previously seen his mom wearing expensive jewelry.

He didn’t pay much attention; in his view, the Qiao Family would eventually be theirs, so what’s wrong with wearing some jewelry?

Because of this mindset and not witnessing the gardener and the maid being arrested in the morning, he momentarily forgot that these pieces of jewelry didn’t belong to Zhou Yun. If truly investigated, she might be in trouble.

Under Shao Yifan’s confused gaze, the officers counted five pieces of jewelry worth millions and confirmed them with Ah Chen.

Then Zhou Yun was taken away.

The commissioner had returned for too short a time, and the old man’s arrangements only targeted the main assets. He Sihua’s personal jewelry wasn’t a big deal for the Qiao Family, only recorded but not managed closely.

Returning to this empty home, the commissioner had so much to face, there was no time to check daily whether He Sihua’s jewelry went missing.

Watching Zhou Yun being taken away, Shao Yifan’s lips moved, but he didn’t know what to say.

Moreover, he really couldn’t stay at this place anymore; he was afraid of encountering more bizarre situations.

Soon he hurriedly took a taxi to a hotel with several suitcases.

With a butler father, he wasn’t short of money, staying in hotels wasn’t an issue. Zhou Yun’s situation wasn’t as good, but he was sure that Shao Baocheng would be out soon, and they could then relocate.

They couldn’t stay in this city anymore.

Just now, he received some private messages inquiring about his family’s situation.

School wasn’t an option anymore; once his father was out, transferring would be arranged. He’d just take a leave for these few days.

Shao Yifan particularly wished to return to the day before yesterday to prevent what happened last night, so their family could continue to live peacefully.

That night at the hotel.

Shao Yifan was dozing off when he suddenly heard a knock at the door.

He asked who it was, but there was no response.

He abruptly opened the door, but no one was there. He shut the door in terror. After making a call to the hotel front desk, they confirmed there was no knock, almost causing him to faint.

Tonight, Ah Chen was still staying at the Shen Family.

She went to bed early, looking like she was tired.

In reality, she was very alert; moments ago, Chen Qing had knocked on her door to see if she was asleep.

Though Chen Qing couldn’t see it and there was no surveillance in the room, she kept her eyes shut.

With the butler issue resolved, it was time to start the new storyline.

Moreover, the actors she hired should come on stage too.

Before this, she had used her financial ability to settle Rong Yu and his grandmother. Rong Yu even asked today when it would be his turn to contribute.

Evidently, having received a handsome reward but not yet helping out made Rong Yu feel slightly uneasy.

In the Shen Family, Shen Zhenxiong’s study was bustling with the Shen Family members present.

”She is indeed asleep,” Chen Qing remarked.

Shen Muyang suddenly said with surprise, ”Mom and Dad, Brother, do you know what I discovered today?”

He had kept this in for a whole day, finally getting a chance to share it with the family.

Shen Muzhi felt stirred, could it be?
