The Xia family members all looked very unhappy by now. They did not know where this group of riffraff came from and how this person could be so rude in their home. If this was in the past, they would have already chased him out. However, at the moment, they did not know what had happened in the highlands. What if they made a wrong move? It was better to wait for Xia He to wake up before dealing with this matter.

Qiao Mei called Xu Kang over and whispered in her ear, “Go and ask Xia He to come over and tell her to dress up very nicely. Get Qian’e to give Deng Fan a call and make up an urgent reason to call him away. Ask him to leave through the back door, don’t let him come to the front yard.”

“Alright,” Xu Kang said softly.

Half an hour later, Xia He came to the main hall wearing Qiao Mei’s dark blue dress with the gold embroidered phoenix. She also wore huge pearl earrings and looked very graceful and regal.

When she pushed open the door and saw Cao Kuan, she was slightly stunned. Cao Kuan looked exactly like Cao Zhai, except that one was fatter and the other was thinner.

“You must be Cao Zhai’s elder brother. I’m Xia He,” Xia He said openly.

“You’re finally here. Why did you lie to my brother! Why did you say that you want to marry him! You’re already married, so why did you accept my brother’s gift!” Cao Kuan scolded her angrily.

“Marry him? When did I ever say that I want to marry Cao Zhai? Where did this news come from? When did I receive any gift from him?” Xia He asked in shock.

“You didn’t say that? Then why would my younger brother say that both of you had already gotten engaged secretly and that he won’t marry anyone but you? He even gave you a bangle which is our family heirloom! And you’ve already accepted it!” Cao Kuan said.

Xia He stood rooted to the spot confusedly. She did not know what was going on. She had never received any gifts from Cao Zhai and did not even know him at all. If not for the fact that they were in the same bus and it was an issue of life and death at that time, she would not even pay any attention to him.

“You’re full of nonsense! My brother sold his assets and bought you so much expensive jewelry! Go and ask your colleagues! They must all know about it!

Especially that emerald necklace! It used to belong to my late grandmother! My brother even gave it to you!” Cao Kuan said.

“Wait… what did you say? The emerald and pearl necklace is from your younger brother?” Xia He asked.

“Hmph, so you really took something from my brother,” Cao Kuan said mockingly.

Xia He had never accepted any gifts from her fans. She would accept flowers but reject other gifts. This was a rule that she had set for herself. She always returned gifts from her fans. Everyone had witnessed it for themselves.

However, Xia He had indeed seen this particular necklace before and she had a deep impression of it. However, she did not see this necklace on her table, but on Li Hua’s neck.

There was one time when Li Hua managed to get the second female lead role. She was very smug then and even laughed at Bai Dian and Huang Li for a long time, almost to the extent of lording over them! If not for the fact that Bai Dian was bad-tempered enough to scold her back on the spot, they would have suffered a lot more!

“Are you sure your younger brother personally gave me this necklace you mentioned?” Xia He asked.

“Isn’t that so?” Cao Kuan asked.

“l don’t accept gifts from anyone after my performances. You can go and ask around. I always send back the gifts from my fans. I only accept flowers but not gifts. However, I have an impression of this necklace you mentioned. I’ve seen it around my colleague’s neck,” Xia He said sternly.

“Are you making up an excuse? Anyone would desire to own such a nice thing. If you already took it, just say so. Don’t pretend to be so ethical and honorable,” Cao Kuan said.

“I’ve always been open and aboveboard in all my dealings. The Xia family is also one of the prominent families in the capital. Is there a need for me to tell lies just for that little piece of jewelry? Look at all the ornaments in this house and the things my family members are wearing. Even our helper wears expensive jewelry. Why should I take a fancy to your things?” Xia He said pompously.

Qiao Mei hid at one side and laughed discreetly. No wonder Xia He gave Xu Kang a ruby ring that was the size of a pigeon egg before she came out.. So this was her intention!
