Yan Yufei pursed her lips and hesitated before nodding.
"Well, who does it belong to then? The shelf is in such an inconspicuous position; who would go there without a reason?"
The implication is that the necklace's owner is the real culprit behind the broken inkstone.
And indeed, the spot where the shelf stands is indeed out of the way. No one would bump into it unless they intentionally went there.
So, who would go to the gift shelf for no good reason? To play hide-and-seek?
Thus, although Qin Shuyi's words seem to hint at something, they are based on facts.
"Mom, I..."
Yan Yufei bit her lower lip, looking distressed. Elder Mr. Lin watched her put on this pretentious display and tried to hold back, but eventually couldn't help but speak up:
"Enough, just tell us whose necklace it is. Why are you being so hesitant about saying a name?"
This family has been nothing but trouble since they arrived.
