"Yeah, I was worried too. I even helped Auntie check all around the house, but we couldn't find it anywhere. It's strange…" Yang Xiuping said after realizing that she seemed suspicious.
Before Huo Mian even said anything else, Yang Meirong said, "Xiuping is a really honest kid. She saw that I had lost something, so to avert suspicion, she took me to her bedroom and showed me everything, including her purse, bankbook, and wallet. Why would I suspect her? She's family, so why would she do that?"
Obviously, Yang Meirong chose to believe that her niece was innocent.
After all, Yang Xiuping had shown Yang Meirong her personal belongings to prove her innocence.
Yang Xiuping walked downstairs, sat down on the couch, and gave an apple to Qin Chu. "Brother-in-Law, would you like an apple?."
"No, thanks." Qin Chu remained detached.
Then she picked up an orange and gave it to Huo Mian. "Here, Cousin Mian. I bought those for Auntie, they're really sweet."
