The Bai’s and the Yun’s were long-time associates, and he didn’t want to sever those ties just yet.
If Yun Wei hadn’t been so aloof and constantly kept him at arm’s length, never letting him get intimate with her even though they were dating, rarely letting him even hold her hand, he wouldn’t have been entrapped by the voluptuous Hua Shasha.
“Are you stupid or what?” Hua Shasha exclaimed, poking at Bai Wenping’s head. “It’s only a matter of time before the Yun’s get wind of Yun Wei’s head injury. Once they find out, the likelihood of us being able to scam anything off Yun Wei will be extremely low….”
After thinking it through, Bai Wenping agreed.
Hua Shasha continued, “If we don’t take this chance to grab something now, when would we be able to find an opportunity to do so in the future? When the necklace is found to be missing, we should just stand our ground ad blame it on Yun Wei’s mental problems and claim that she misplaced it herself. What do you think?”
Nodding, Bai Wenping agreed, “Yes, you’re the smart one, as always.”
That said, the pair started kissing and caressing each other again.
They hadn’t even left the apartment yet. All this was done in Yun Wei’s presence. The pair kissed and hugged as they schemed about stealing Yun Wei’s things.
Meanwhile, Yun Wei had was listening intently to every word they said.
Fortunately, she’d woken up from her fuzzy state of mind. If she hadn’t, she would’ve been easy prey for the trashy pair, who would’ve continued draining her dry.
Thinking back, Yun Wei recalled that she’d had more suitors than she’d been able to count, and Bai Wenping, an average guy, from an average family, and without any real talent, had been among them.
Recalling the past, Yun Wei thought that her mind must’ve been overwhelmed for her to have agreed to be his girlfriend.
The entwined Bai Wenping and Hua Shasha, hanging all over each other, walked out of the apartment together.
With an innocent smile on her face, Yun Wei waved them off.
As the door closed, the smile on Yun Wei’s face gradually turned into a sneer, and she laughed cynically.
Yun Wei locked the main door and returned to her bedroom to open the safe deposit box.
Inside, she saw a huge pile of jewelry—all the items that Bai Wenping and Hua Shasha had pilfered from her the last three months.
Yun Wei knew that she had made the right decision this time in soliciting Auntie Ji’s help.
Intimidated by Auntie Ji’s astuteness, Bai Wenping and Hua Shasha hadn’t dared to use replicas to replace the jewelry they’d stolen from her. Instead, they’d used every means available to them to raise money and doggedly hunt down and redeem the jewelry they’d sold or pawned for higher prices.
Yun Wei counted the pieces of jewelry. Although some pieces were still unaccounted for, about seventy to eighty percent of the jewelry had been returned, which wasn’t bad.
She’d won the first battle after her recovery!
Because of Yun Wei’s clever manipulation, Bai Wenping and Hua Shasha had returned the jewelry they’d stolen from her!
Closing the door shut, Yun Wei stretched to release the tension in her body and returned to Lu Zhanting’s unit.
Just as she was about to open the door and step inside, the door flew open right in front of her.
The sight of Lu Zhanting in his dressing gown astonished her.
It was only at that moment that she realized that he was actually taller than her by one head.
And that she had to raise her head up in order to look at him.
The first thing that Yun Wei noticed was his straight brows, followed by his chiseled cheekbones.
This man was perhaps a little bit too good-looking. Yun Wei had seen many good-looking men before, but she’d never met a man who had such an imposing presence yet looked really good.
“Get a good look?” Lu Zhanting asked.
Yun Wei then realized that she’d been a little rude.
In a flash, she disappeared into the apartment.
Then, catching a whiff of a mouth-watering aroma, Yun Wei asked, “What is that?”
“Time to eat.” Lu Zhanting led her to the dining table.
“Wow, sushi!” Yun Wei definitely hadn’t tasted such delectable food in a very long time.
Earlier, Bai Wenping had handed her some cold congee and cheap preserved vegetables.
Compared to that, this visually appetizing and flavorful sushi was truly heavenly.
