After Transmigrating as a Tycoon’s Wife, My Thoughts Are Heard by the Whole Family

Seeing Peng Li's indignation, Qin's Mom directly asked, "You say Sun Man has character issues, but what exactly are those issues?"

Peng Li paused for a moment, then said, "Wasn't there a rumor that she evaded taxes?"

Qin's Mom was speechless, "You really don't go online, do you? If a celebrity actually evaded taxes, they basically wouldn't be able to work in the industry anymore. The fact that she's still active in the entertainment circle proves she's clean."

"How is that possible! I think I heard Lang Zhe say she even paid back taxes!"

Qin Zhao directly replied, "That was something her family workshop studio did behind her back. As soon as she found out through self-inspection, she dealt with it immediately."

This news had been officially reported online, so Sun Man was definitely clear in this regard. She even took the lead in celebrity self-inspection, unlike some stars who were truly reluctant to pay back taxes.

[That's right, Sun Man has really had it tough. I think the reason she was so easily deceived by Lang Zhe's love was because of her unfortunate family background. Her studio was previously completely controlled by her mother and uncle, who often conducted illegal operations behind her back, causing her great suffering. They disregarded her hard work and desperately accepted jobs for her to make money.]

[Even Gao Hao has said that Sun Man was severely exploited. If she hadn't been dragged down by her relatives, her talent might have been better developed. And just when she finally got a boyfriend, she almost got pulled into a deep pit again.]

The Qin family nearly coughed up blood hearing this. What kind of deep pit was it? Why did it always stop at the crucial point!

Peng Li, having her reason refuted, could only say, "Anyway, there's something wrong with her."

Qin's Mom impatiently said, "You just simply don't like her, do you?"

Some mothers-in-law just don't like their daughters-in-law, as if their sons have been stolen from them. On this point, Lu Fei wasn't like that, but Peng Li was seriously ill with it.

Peng Li's expression immediately turned ugly. Her hand unconsciously touched the necklace on her neck, and she finally spoke, "It's really troublesome. Fine, I'll tell you, but you must keep it a secret. I promised my godson not to tell anyone about this. He's a good kid who values relationships, and even though they broke up, he doesn't want to embarrass her. But now that Lang Zhe is still so obsessed, I must stop it. However... I hope when you deal with Sun Man in the future, you won't reveal what I've said."

The Qin family could really see how much Peng Li cared about this godson. She was afraid of losing her godson's affection because of another woman.

"Because once when Lang Zhe brought her to visit me, she actually tried to steal my necklace!"

As Peng Li spoke, anger rose on her face, and her hand pressed on the large, round pearls. "How greedy, isn't a little thief like this morally questionable!"

"How could that be?" Qin's Mom immediately asked.

After hearing so much about Sun Man, the Qin family all felt that Sun Man should be a hardworking, law-abiding person with a pure character.

But Peng Li angrily said, "At the time, I wanted to take out the necklace to show that woman, so I took her to my jewelry collection room. But during dinner, the maid said the necklace was missing. I had all the maids help search for half a day but couldn't find it. Just as I was about to call the police, suddenly the necklace appeared in the bathroom, a place I had personally searched before. How could it suddenly appear there? It must have been her who took it out because she was scared. When I got it back, it was still warm!"

"I wanted to take her to the police right then, but Lang Zhe stopped me. After they broke up, I didn't bother with it anymore. Who knew my silly child would want to get back together with this thief? I can't even imagine how she might covet my jewelry in the future. This kind of thief absolutely cannot be with Lang Zhe."

Peng Li spoke with righteous indignation, clearly having experienced this incident.

Could it be that the young girl really made a mistake and committed theft in a moment of confusion?

It felt incredibly unbelievable.

[Is this real? I don't believe it, let me check.]

Seeing Ji Fei take action, everyone else actively joined the discussion.

"Did she admit to it?" Qin Rong anxiously asked for verification.

Peng Li said, "We didn't catch her in the act, so of course she denied it!"

"Then there's no evidence, right? Could it have been someone else?" Qin Yan also asked.

"You mean our maids? They've taken care of me for so many years, how could it be them!" Peng Li refuted.

"Did you accidentally take it to the bathroom yourself?" Qin Zhao questioned.

"Do you think I'm senile?" Peng Li became even angrier.

At this point, Qin Xian, who rarely spoke, analyzed, "Such a unique piece of jewelry is useless to steal. Once it appears, it would inevitably raise suspicion, let alone she's a public figure. Unless she was short on money and wanted to steal it to sell, but given her earning ability, she wouldn't be short on money. Or it could be a personal hobby, a liking for collecting, but taking such a risk, the probability is too small."

As soon as Qin Xian finished speaking, he felt Ji Fei suddenly look at him. He turned his head and met a pair of bright eyes, completely reflecting him, seemingly sparkling. It immediately made his heart race.

[Qin Xian is so amazing!]

Faced with such straightforward praise, Qin Xian suddenly felt a bit hot.

The Qin family all had a jolt and began to frantically steal glances at the interaction between the two.

However, Ji Fei just looked at Qin Xian in surprise, while her inner voice had already exploded.

[The analysis is so accurate, it was indeed stolen to sell!]

The Qin family was shocked, immediately having trouble reacting. Could it really be...

[But the thief wasn't Sun Man, nor was it those maids. It was the one person Peng Li never suspected - Lang Zhe.]

The Qin family was stunned, but at the same time breathed a sigh of relief. It somehow felt more reasonable this way.

No wonder Lang Zhe was so against Peng Li pursuing the matter further. It wasn't that he was protecting his girlfriend, but he was afraid of leaving some evidence that might be discovered.

But it was strange, did he need money? Peng Li doted on him so much, why would he steal? If he wanted money, he could just ask directly, and Peng Li would probably give it to him.

While their heads were full of question marks, Ji Fei finally acted human for once and gave the answer directly.

[I see, it's because Teacher Lu's discipline was too strict, so he couldn't get money without limits. Moreover, she would check the money Peng Li gave him, making it very difficult for him to spend freely. That's why he thought of stealing. Originally, he didn't dare to steal the most valuable pearl necklace.]

[Who would have thought his gambling debts were so huge, and he not only wanted to pay off his debts but also wanted to win back his losses and return to the gambling table. That's why he set his sights on the most valuable pearl necklace.]

The Qin family immediately took a deep breath.

So that's it, Lang Zhe was a gambler! And a deeply hidden one at that.

[Bringing Sun Man along was just a cover. He knew his godmother liked to show off and would definitely take them to see her jewelry. He could then steal it when leaving. If discovered afterwards, he could plead for his girlfriend, making his godmother soften and not pursue the matter. Or if he could win it back, he could make up for it. He just didn't expect to be discovered so quickly, so he had to give up.]

The Qin family immediately gained a basic understanding of the so-called scoundrel. But soon, their understanding deepened.

[Oh, I understand now. It was because the theft plan failed that he had to grit his teeth and borrow money from Sun Man! He borrowed it under the guise of startup funds for a concert.]

The Qin family immediately had a guess - did he borrow money and not return it?

[Soon, Sun Man discovered that he wasn't actually holding a concert. After careful investigation in their private interactions, she learned that her boyfriend was an experienced gambler, and he gambled heavily. He had borrowed money from many people, and she knew her money wouldn't be returned, as there were no IOUs. She was an intelligent girl and knew that gamblers who reached this level never turn back, so she immediately cut her losses.]

The Qin family couldn't help but sigh. She was a girl who knew when to cut her losses.

[But... ten million yuan! Just letting this guy off like that! She really is a silly girl! It makes me angry every time I think about it! He even has the thick skin to want to get back together, isn't he just looking for another sucker? Pay back the money first, you bastard!]

[Even now, Peng Li still suspects Sun Man. It's frustrating just thinking about it. Should we...]

"After all this talk, we haven't mentioned Lang Zhe. Does he have an alibi? Auntie, as they say, you can guard against outsiders day and night, but it's hard to guard against thieves in your own home~"
