My Youth Began With Him - Chapter 1240

Chapter 1240: 1240


"Mian… All my jewelry's gone…" Yang Meirong looked like she was about to cry .

"Jewelry?"

Huo Mian froze for a second; she seemed to remember her mother's jewelry box, inside was some gold jewelry pieces that she had had for years .

Later, Huo Mian bought her some rings and necklaces, but they didn't add up to worth a lot .

Her mother wasn't into luxurious jewelry, so all she owned were accessories she would usually wear when she went out . The rest of the time, the jewelry was placed inside a drawer…

"I thought all your jewelry was in your drawer," Huo Mian said .

"Yeah, but when Auntie Wu called this morning and asked me to go strolling around the park, I noticed that everything was gone when I came back . The box is still there, but the jewelry isn't . "

"Mom… how much is in there?" Qin Chu asked, and Yang Meirong thought about it before answering slowly, "Not that much, just some I had from before and ones Mian bought me recently . There's only two necklaces, three rings, two pairs of earrings, and a bracelet in there . "

Then, she added, "They probably only cost twenty or thirty-thousand yuan . It's not a lot but I can't believe they would disappear into the thin air… It's making me really uncomfortable . "

Yang Meirong sat on the couch, extremely dispirited .

Huo Mian walked up and sat down next to her mother . "Mom, are you sure you lost them this morning? Did you see them yesterday?"



"I'm not completely sure since I haven't worn them in a while and don't usually open up the box to check . I last wore them two weeks ago while shopping with some new friends I met in the neighborhood, so it's been a while . I didn't even think about them until today, but they all disappeared . "

"Mom, don't worry, Mian and I will replace everything in there," Qin Chu consoled their mother, but Yang Meirong shook her head . "I know you guys are trying to help, but money's not the problem right now, and you guys replacing everything won't help . How can these things just disappear all of a sudden? Did a thief come into our house? It doesn't seem right, though, this is a pretty safe neighbor, Zhixin said there are surveillance cameras outside every building and even 24-hour security guards . They shouldn't have disappeared…"

After some thought, Huo Mian asked, "I don't think it was a thief, because a thief wouldn't just steal jewelry and nothing else . Mom, you didn't lose money, right?"

"Yeah, it's really weird . The twenty thousand yuan in my wallet is still in there, but my jewelry isn't . It's so weird . "

Huo Mian added, "Do you think you might've misplaced them? This place is huge, maybe we'll find it if we look around some more . "



Yang Meirong shook her head . "That's impossible, I would never place my jewelry elsewhere . I put them in the drawer, so I won't forget where they are . "

Huo Mian didn't say anything else upon seeing how certain her mother was . She glanced around the living room . "Mom, where's Xiuping?"


"She's showering upstairs, she got her dress dirty, and she said she was going to change into something else . "

As soon as Yang Meirong finished her sentence, Yang Xiuping came downstairs…

There were only two rooms upstairs, a master and a second bedroom . Yang Xiuping had been living in the second bedroom ever since she arrived, whereas Zhixin used to live in the master .



There were also a master and a second room downstairs; Yang Meirong lived in the master while Huo Mian sometimes slept over in the second room .

Yang Xiuping had on a fresh set of clothes and to Huo Mian's surprise, her dressing style had changed drastically, even though she hadn't been living in the city for very long…

She traded old-fashioned shirts, long pants, and flower-print dresses for a ruffle-sleeved dress .

The dress was short enough to reveal the side of her thighs, and her hair was no longer in braids . She wore her straight, long black hair loose and even had makeup on; it was obvious that she had dressed up on purpose .

"Cousin, Brother-in-Law, you guys are here?" Yang Xiuping smiled, and Huo Mian nodded back at her, also with a smile on her face . "Yeah, your Auntie lost some jewelry and is in a bad mood . She asked us to come home and take a look . "

Upon finishing her sentence, Huo Mian observed Yang Xiuping's face closely, waiting to see her reaction…
