Chapter 585: Jiang Sui Slaps Her Former Sister-in-Law in the Face!
Jiang Qianhui's cold eyes: "You're slandering me without any evidence. It seems you really want to go to jail!"
Xie Qingyi was furious, but she refused to back down, saying, "No one in the entire country of A knows that the genuine article belongs to the Zhan family, but it's now in your hands. If you didn't steal it, how could this vase have just ended up in your possession by itself?"
Before Jiang Qianhui could speak, Yan Lan pressed on, "Jiang Qianhui, you stole the vase, so just admit it. Kneel down and kowtow to admit your mistake, and I'll plead for you in front of Mom?"
Jiang Qianhui scoffed, "Are you stupid or just plain dumb? If I really stole this vase, knowing you gave me a fake, would I have taken out the real one?"
At this moment, everyone was in an uproar. Jiang Qianhui didn't seem like such an unintelligent person at all.
Jiang Qianhui looked at Xie Qingyi and said coldly, "The Zhan family has produced a thief within its ranks. This thing was indeed stolen. But the person who stole it was your eldest daughter-in-law, Yan Lan!"
When Jiang Qianhui said this, Xie Qingyi and everyone else present were shocked.
The Zhan family's Song Dynasty vase was indeed stolen, and the thief turned out to be none other than the Zhan family's eldest son, Yan Lan.
Jiang Qianhui said coldly, "Yan Lan used a fake to replace the real one, and then sold the real one on the black market."
Knowing I was buying Song Dynasty vases at a high price, the seller delivered the item to me. I bought it intending it as a birthday gift for Grandma Gao, but I never expected you to bring out a fake. There's no reason for a genuine item to give way to a counterfeit, is there?
Yan Lan was instantly devastated. She never expected that the vase she had obtained from the black market would end up in Jiang Qianhui's hands. And what a coincidence that Jiang Qianhui would give the vase to Old Madam Gao as a birthday gift, and even know that she was the one who stole the vase.
Is she some kind of fortune teller? Yan Lan was so angry her face turned green.
"Jiang Qianhui, you're crying wolf! You're the one who stole the vase, but you're trying to frame me. No wonder you took out the vase at the same time; you were waiting for me here. You think you can act recklessly now that you've found a scapegoat? Let me tell you, Mom believes me. She won't believe you, a divorced woman."
After Yan Lan finished speaking, she said to Xie Qingyi, "Mom, you absolutely cannot believe Jiang Qianhui. She stole the things; she's trying to sow discord between us. She's been with the Zhan family for two years, and we don't even know when she stole the things. Now she's not only stolen from our Zhan family, but she's also trying to ruin our family!"
Li Wanyin said sternly, "Yan Lan, shut your stinking mouth. Let's not even talk about how our Sui Sui is now the richest woman in Country A. She was born the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. Is a vase worth tens of millions worth stealing? I never belittle others, but you are poor and pretentious, and I really can't stand it. You were born into poverty, and after being a female celebrity for a few years, you haven't made much money, but you've developed a habit of spending money recklessly. You probably won't have enough money to spend in the Zhan family, so you steal things for pocket money. It's really pathetic."
Yan Lan was exposed and said angrily, "Mrs. Gu, everyone knows that your Gu family is going to marry Jiang Qianhui as your daughter-in-law. If it is now confirmed that Jiang Qianhui is a thief, it will tarnish the reputation of your Gu family. You must be speaking up for Jiang Qianhui."
"If I don't speak up for my Sui Sui, am I supposed to speak up for someone as poor and pretentious as you?"
Li Wanyin acted as if she didn't care about appearances and was clearly going to support Jiang Qianhui, which made Yan Lan so angry that she couldn't speak.
Xie Qingyi said, "Jiang Qianhui, you said Yan Lan stole the things, but now the things are in your hands. I think you're the one who should explain!"
"There are rules in the black market: you don't ask where something comes from when you buy it. The person who sold me the vase certainly won't testify that Yan Lan stole it."
Upon hearing Jiang Qianhui's words, Yan Lan breathed a sigh of relief. She immediately perked up and said smugly, "Jiang Qianhui, no one can prove that I stole it, because I didn't steal it in the first place. Jiang Qianhui, just admit it, you stole it."
"Just because others don't say it doesn't mean I can't find out. Take a good look, this is the video of your transaction."
Just as Jiang Qianhui finished speaking, a video suddenly started playing on the large screen in the banquet hall, and Yan Lan's voice came through.
“Brother Long, you’d better take a good look at this vase. It’s a plum blossom vase from the Song Dynasty. The Zhan family bought it for ten million back then.”
"five million."
"Dragon Master, are you kidding me? The auction price was ten million, and you're giving me five million. That's a 50% discount."
"You said it yourself, this belongs to the Zhan family, besides me, who else would dare to take this thing?"
Yan Lan was dumbfounded when she saw the video. Where did Jiang Qianhui get this video?
"This...that's fake, it's fake, it's AI. Jiang Qianhui, you're framing me!"
Yan Lan was hysterical, but Jiang Qianhui calmly said, "Yan Lan, you really are a spendthrift. You bought something for 10 million and sold it for 5 million."
"Jiang Qianhui, you're talking nonsense! This is all fake, it's AI-generated!"
"The video may be AI-generated and fake, but the money transferred into your account is real money. If I remember correctly, the Zhan family gives you one million in allowance every month, deposited into your account on the 8th of each month. Now explain to me why there is suddenly five million more in your account?"
Yan Lan's face turned pale instantly. She said, "That five million was the fee someone paid me for endorsing their product."
"Really? Then tell me which patron gave your people five million. It'll be easy to find out."
Yan Lan said angrily, "This involves trade secrets, why should I tell you?"
"Because unfortunately, the price and date of the vase sale in this video match up. If you can't explain it properly, nothing you say will make a difference!"
Jiang Qianhui remained calm and composed; she now understood the whole situation clearly.
Yan Lan stole the vase, sold it off without permission, and even used a fake vase to fool the Gao family!
Xie Qingyi stepped forward angrily and slapped Yan Lan across the face: "Yan Lan, you're really something. For an actress like you to be allowed into our Zhan family is a blessing you've accumulated over several lifetimes. I never expected you to be so ungrateful, actually betraying us and daring to steal our Zhan family's antiques. You deserve to die."
"Mom, no, Jiang Qianhui framed me!"
At this moment, Jiang Qianhui calmly took out a stack of bills and said, "This stack of bills is for the high-end custom-made items and jewelry you have purchased from various luxury brands in the past year, totaling more than 100 million yuan. You really know how to enjoy life, spending so much money."
Xie Qingyi was furious when she heard this. The Zhan family only gave Yan Lan a little over ten million yuan a year for living expenses. How did she spend one hundred million yuan?
Is it...
