Chapter 196: To Lose Money

Tian Jing didn’t care about money. She never had to worry about being broke ever since she was a child. Tian Jing never even looked at price tags when she bought things. When she heard Fang Liu’s words, she said arrogantly, “Do you think I care how much this thing is worth?”

Fang Liu smiled faintly. “Whether you care or not has nothing to do with me. That antique vase belongs to your cousin. Everything in this room is priceless to him. If you break it, he’ll scold you, not me.”

Tian Jing’s face was gloomy as she shouted, “Didn’t he buy you these things? Take a good look at yourself, Fang Liu. The b*stard child in your belly doesn’t belong to Mo Yu. Do you think you have the right to own these things?”

“Let me repeat myself. Mo Yu gave me these things, but they still belong to Mo Yu. I will feel sorry for you if you destroy them. I don’t understand why you’re threatening me with these things. You’re being ridiculous.”

Indeed, Tian Jing wanted to destroy Fang Liu’s belongings and humiliate her. But after hearing Fang Liu’s words, she looked up and noticed Fang Liu’s indifferent expression. There were no signs of anger or worry on Fang Liu’s face.

Tian Jing instantly lost her confidence. She wanted to make Fang Liu anxious at the risk of being scolded by Mo Yu, but Fang Liu didn’t seem to care.

Tian Jing glared at Fang Liu and retorted, “What about the clothes, flowers, and musical instruments? Do you not care about them?”

Fang Liu smiled. “It’s truly a pity that you destroyed those things, but my heart doesn’t ache for them. Despite that, Mo Yu was the one who bought those things for me. If you break more things, Mo Yu can just buy them for me again.”

That was the first time Fang Liu flaunted Mo Yu’s capabilities before someone else. Fang Liu thought it was strange to say such things even though it was only toward Tian Jing. It made Fang Liu feel arrogant and hateful.

But she had to say it because Lin Lin and Tian Jing had behaved so outrageously.

Fang Liu couldn’t care less. She continued, “Mo Yu can still buy me beautiful things, but not for the two of you. You two are deliberately destroying other people’s property. Tian Jing, you can beg Mo Yu for mercy because you’re his cousin, but Lin Lin can’t afford to pay for destroying such valuable things.”

Fang Liu pointed at a camera in the room. “Oh, I forgot to mention. I didn’t just install a surveillance camera in the corridor. I also installed cameras in every other room. I installed them to guard against thieves, but I didn’t expect them to come in handy for the people living here.”

Lin Lin never expected cameras to be in every room. ‘Why didn’t I notice them earlier?!’

……

Tian Jing was about to explode with anger. ‘The Mo family has excellent bodyguards. There would never be thieves breaking into this house. Fang Liu is just saying that as an excuse! Mo Yu installed these cameras to protect Fang Liu.’

Lin Lin started to panic. She was scared because she was the one who ripped the clothes in the walk-in closet. Lin Lin ruined several expensive clothes and mangled so many precious flowers. She knew that she couldn’t afford to pay for them.

‘Tian Jing can still be pardoned, but I’m just an outsider.’

Lin Lin was the one who urged Tian Jing to destroy Fang Liu’s belongings, so she had to suffer the consequences of her actions.

Lin Lin hurriedly tugged Tian Jing’s sleeve and whispered, “Fang Liu is calling you a thief. We only went into the rooms to take a look when we accidentally broke something. Is she trying to get you kicked out of the house?”

Lin Lin knew that she could only fan the flames between Fang Liu and Tian Jing.

Sure enough, Tian Jing retorted, “I’m not a thief! I’m Mo Yu’s cousin. So what if I touch his things? I know that you only want me and Lin Lin to pay for these things. What right do you have to call me a thief? Who do you think you are?”

Fang Liu shook her head when she heard Tian Jing’s words. She had just given Tian Jing a chance to stand down.

Lin Lin thought that Mo Yu wouldn’t reprimand her if she pushed the blame onto Tian Jing.

Fang Liu didn’t expect Tian Jing to be foolish, allowing Lin Lin to use her as a scapegoat. She knew that Lin Lin was just fanning the flames, and suddenly, Tian Jing started taking responsibility for Lin Lin.

Fang Liu looked up and saw Lin Lin cowering behind Tian Jing. Although Lin Lin was flustered, she looked pleased with herself.

At this moment, Lin Lin was thinking about how Tian Jing was a member of the Mo family. She knew that with Tian Jing in front of her, she wouldn’t have to take responsibility for destroying Mo Yu’s prized possessions.

Fang Liu smiled and said, “You’re right. I’m only your cousin-in-law. I don’t have a right to tell you to pay for the things you’ve destroyed. I’ll just let Mo Yu handle this.” Fang Liu turned around and left.

After returning to her bedroom, Fang Liu handed a flash drive to Ah Yu and asked her to make two copies of the surveillance footage. She would keep one for herself and give one to Mo Yu.
