When it was time for dinner, Li Muyao went downstairs. Huang Yuying and Chu Ranran were already sitting at the dining table.
After Li Muyao washed her hands and sat down, Chu Ranran immediately stood up and poured some Snow beer for Li Muyao.’”‘Sister Yao, happy birthday. I wish you more and more beautiful and turn eighteen every year.”
It was Cai Mao who had specially reminded Chu Ranran to buy Snow beer because Li Muyao only drank this brand of beer.
After she finished speaking, Chu Ranran poured herself a glass and drank it in one gulp.
“Thank you.” Li Muyao raised her eyebrows.”
She also downed a glass of snow beer in one gulp. The reason why Li Muyao liked to drink it was because she wouldn’t get drunk. This brand of beer was as natural to Li Muyao as drinking water. She didn’t feel anything, not even bloating.
“Then we also wish Muyao a happy birthday. Her beauty career is progressing and she will become famous! I’ll replace the wine with tea. Jiang Chao will accompany the two of you to drink.”
Huang Yuying was a pregnant woman, so she couldn’t touch alcohol. However, she still had Jiang Chao as her representative.
“Alright, I’ll accept all your blessings. Come, brother-in-law, the three of us will drink. It’s rare for you to celebrate my birthday with me tonight, so we must drink to our hearts ‘content.”
Li Muyao asked Chu Ranran to pour beer for Jiang Chao. In the end, she didn’t want to walk around, so she placed a box of twelve bottles of Snow beer beside each of them.
Although beer was not intoxicating, it would make one’s stomach bloated and make it easy to go to the toilet.
But tonight, whether it was Li Muyao, Chu Ranran, or Jiang Chao, they didn’t seem to have any reaction to the beer. Each of them drank a box of beer. Other than going to the toilet a few times, there was no smell of alcohol.
In the end, the nanny took out three bottles of red wine. After drinking them one by one, it was already late. Chu Ranran and Jiang Chao were both a little clrunK, ancl tne meal or tne tour or tnem ornc1a11Y enaea.
Chu Ranran was sent upstairs to the guest room by the nanny to rest. She said that she wasn’t drunk, but Chu Ranran was almost drunk. It was not even nine o’clock yet, but she was already feeling sleepy.
As for Jiang Chao and Huang Yuying, Li Muyao wanted them to stay, but Jiang Chao insisted on returning to the hotel. Li Muyao called the chauffeur over and helped Jiang Chao into the car. She then told the chauffeur to help Jiang Chao back to his hotel room and not let Huang Yuying do anything to him.
At the entrance of the cultural district, Huang Yuying waved at Li Muyao.””Mu Yao, you’ve drunk quite a bit yourself. We’ll text you when we get there. It’s just a short distance. Actually, it’s quite good for us to walk back by ourselves.”
“It’s safe to send you off. I’ll go back now. Remember to text me. “With the driver helping her, Li Muyao had nothing to worry about. She walked alone under the street lamp and felt the cold wind of October in Jincheng. It was indeed a little cold. She didn’t bring a coat when she went out. Li Muyao crossed her arms and ran quickly. After running for a while, she almost tripped over something.
Li Muyao stopped in her tracks and looked down. It was a small black cloth bag. If it wasn’t for the fact that it had been mixed up, she really wouldn’t have been able to tell. Because the black cloth bag was the same color as the black floor tiles on the road.
Even with the streetlights, it was still so obvious.
Li Muyao squatted down and picked up the small cloth bag. She looked left and right. There were only trees and street lamps. If she continued walking, she would reach the old housing area of the Huo family’s old mansion.
Because the small cloth bag was only tied with a very simple rope, Li Muyao thought for a few seconds before opening the cloth bag. When she saw it, she was shocked. He quickly tied the opening of the small cloth bag, then turned a corner and went to the police station not far ahead.
Li Muyao had seen the police on duty a month ago because of Mei Yuehua’s suicide.
Moreover, Li Yao had been staying in the Huo family’s old mansion for the past few days. The Huo family had also informed the security guards and the staff on duty of her identity in advance.
The police officer on duty came forward and asked Li Muyao,”Miss Li, do you need any help coming over so late?””
“No, I just picked up a small cloth bag by the park path. I want the police officers to help me find the owner.”Li Muyao directly handed the small bag to the police officer. The police officer saw that it was an inconspicuous bag, but it required the Huo family’s distinguished guest to make a trip. He did not dare to wait any longer. He opened it and looked at it in shock.”This is a diamond?”
“Yes, I counted them carefully just now. There are fifty-two small diamonds, eighteen medium-sized diamonds, and one diamond the size of a pigeon egg.”People who didn’t know the industry might mistake this shiny diamond for a crystal.
Li Muyao had studied it in her previous life. It was mainly because a client was a jewelry designer. He would often tell Li Muyao about gems, diamonds, fashion jewelry design, and so on.
Li Muyao was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to answer anything and keep the customer, so she spent a month’s salary to go to the advanced jewelry identification class for three months.
Later on, this senior jewelry designer became one of Li Muyao’s big clients.
“Okay, then I’ll have to trouble Miss Li to fill in your personal information. This is to make it convenient for the owner to come over to collect the diamond and thank you. Miss Li, please don’t refuse. Because the price of this lost item is too high, we have to go through the procedures here.”
The police had a better impression of Li Muyao when she found so many diamonds without anyone seeing them or seeing the surveillance cameras.
However, the procedure still had to go.
Li Muyao naturally cooperated. The wallet that she had picked up before Chu Lili in Sun City had gone through the same procedure. Li Muyao suddenly remembered that the Sun City police station hadn’t contacted her yet. She didn’t know if the owner of the wallet had really returned to the country as Chu Lili had said.
But the visa was in her wallet, so how could she return to the country?
Forget it, Li Muyao didn’t think too much about it. She filled in the Huo family’s phone number on the information and was about to leave. However, the police officer on duty said that he would send a colleague to send Li Muyao back to the Huo family.
Li Muyao still refused.
After returning to the Huo family, Li Muyao went to Huo Jiling’s room and checked the time. It was already 9:43 pm.
“Huo Jiling, why aren’t you awake yet? My birthday and the Mid-Autumn Festival will end in two hours. Aren’t you going to wish me a happy birthday in person?
Oh, right, I just sent Sister Ying and the others away. On the way back, I picked up a bag of broken diamonds.
Tsk tsk, it’s really shiny and bright. I almost wanted to take it for myself!
However, her father had said that she had to hand over the things she picked up to the police. That was a good child!”Li Muyao couldn’t help but laugh as she thought of the children’s song her father taught her when she was young. “I picked up a penny on the side of the road and sent it to the police..”
