Chapter 42 A Little Trick

Xiao Hong was thoroughly flustered by her words. She didn't want to lose her job at the Gu family's residence. Ye Wan stopped talking, slowly playing with her phone, projecting an attitude of "I'm not in a hurry, you'll be the one to suffer in the end."

"Fine, I'll give you the money. You immediately call the police and tell them not to come!" Xiao Hong was scared. She didn't want to go to jail, nor did she want to lose her job.

"Return my money and I'll make the call," Ye Wan said with a smile, shaking her phone.

Xiao Hong's face turned ugly. As she went out, Ye Wan said with a smile, "Leave Xiao Xiong here. You wouldn't really think that the surveillance isn't connected to my phone, would you?" Da Feng Novel Network.

Xiao Hong's face turned green upon hearing this. She furiously threw Xiao Xiong onto the bed and went back to get the money. After retrieving it, she directly threw it at Ye Wan.

"Here's your money, now hurry up and call the police!" Xiao Hong was truly terrified. In truth, she was just a thoughtless, petty person who only knew how to bully others when she felt empowered. Ye Wan had only employed a small trick, and she was already trapped. With such intelligence, how dare she steal money?

Ye Wan took the money and put it in her bag. Her gaze turned extremely cold. Xiao Hong, seeing her like this, became furious and shouted, "I've already returned your money, now you call the police!"

"Why should I call the police? The fact is you stole my money. Since you did it, you should accept the punishment!" Ye Wan looked coldly at the woman who had been bullying her for so long.

She had no grievances with the servants of the Gu residence, let alone Xiao Hong. Yet, for so many years, this woman had found pleasure in tormenting her every day!

Ye Wan didn't want to bother with these people because she had more important things to do. She didn't want to waste time on insignificant individuals.

However, today, Xiao Hong had crossed her bottom line, and that was money!

She was poor and lacked money, so she could tolerate a few scolding words. But stealing the life-saving money for her younger brother? She absolutely would not tolerate that!

Xiao Hong's voice was loud, attracting others. They looked at Xiao Hong's frenzied state and generally understood what was happening. Even though they knew Xiao Hong had stolen Ye Wan's money, they still cast disdainful glances at Ye Wan, feeling she deserved to be stolen from.

"Ye Wan, what's the big deal? You want to call the police?" the housekeeper stepped forward. She didn't want to defend Xiao Hong, but she simply wanted to make Ye Wan unhappy.

"Exactly. Look at who you are. You dare to cause trouble at the Gu residence!" Xiao Ying looked at Ye Wan with disdain.

Ye Wan sneered at the housekeeper and Xiao Ying, "So, in the housekeeper's eyes, theft is a minor matter. Does that mean if she steals something from the Gu family one day, you'll turn a blind eye?"

"What nonsense are you talking about! Whoever dares to touch anything belonging to the Gu family, I will show no mercy!" The housekeeper immediately became angry. She couldn't accept such a serious accusation. If the masters found out, it would be dire.

"I suggest you also think carefully. Have you lost any money or anything else? If she can steal from me, she can steal from others." Ye Wan glanced coldly at Xiao Ying.

Hearing this, Xiao Ying hesitated. She seemed to have actually lost something... but she couldn't quite recall...

Ye Wan inwardly sneered. She had said that merely to play a psychological game with Xiao Ying. Even if Xiao Hong hadn't stolen from her, who hadn't had something mysteriously disappear at some point? Her words would make Xiao Ying start to believe her belongings had truly been stolen.

"You're lying, I haven't!" Xiao Hong glared at Ye Wan furiously.

"What are you arguing about!" A commanding, stern male voice rang out, causing everyone to flinch.
