Chapter 264 Why So Fierce
Ji Jingshen gave him a cold look, and Xue Jianchen immediately fell silent.
If you don't want me to play, then you don't want me to play. Why are you being so fierce?
Looking at the soft little bundle in his arms, Ji Jingshen moved with extreme care, afraid that he might accidentally hurt her if he touched her too hard.
Fortunately, Sui Sui is usually very well-behaved, never crying or fussing, and even cooperates well during mealtimes, which puts Ji Jingshen at ease.
"What are you looking for?"
Inside the room, Ji Jingshen watched Song Qianyi rummaging around and asked in confusion.
Because they were going out to watch fireworks that night, Song Qianyi originally wanted to find a warm outfit for Sui Sui, but she suddenly discovered that her jewelry box had been moved and a pair of earrings was missing.
I initially thought it was something a waiter had accidentally dropped while tidying up. But I searched for ages and couldn't find it.
“When you came back from your business trip, you brought me a pair of emerald green earrings. They were quite expensive. I was thinking of coming over to support your friends, but now I can’t find them.”
Making a big fuss about this would be detrimental to the opening of the resort, so we can only resolve it privately.
Ji Jingshen frowned and immediately called the manager over.
"Sir, did you leave something at home? Our staff are all specially trained and would never do such a petty theft."
It's just a pair of earrings, why make such a fuss? Just buy a new pair.
The manager's tone was very disdainful. Judging from their ordinary clothes, they probably didn't have much money at home, and they must have gotten here through connections.
“I’m warning you not to cause trouble here. Our boss is not someone you can afford to mess with. It’s just a pair of earrings. If you can’t find them, just buy a new pair. I’m busy. The resort has just opened, and there are a lot of things waiting for me to handle.”
After saying that, he turned to leave, but Song Qianyi stopped him.
"What kind of attitude is this? Someone like you has the nerve to say you've received specialized training? Aren't you afraid of losing face if word gets out?"
The manager seemed to have heard something ridiculous and looked at Song Qianyi with a mocking expression.
"Since you're so capable, go ahead and call the police. But I'm warning you in advance: our boss isn't an ordinary person. If you upset him, you'll be in deep trouble."
"Who's your boss? He's got some nerve! Tell me so I can see for myself."
Xue Jianchen was tidying up his things in his room. He usually didn't like others touching his things, so he always kept his luggage organized by himself.
Hearing the arguing downstairs, I thought there was going to be a good show, so I couldn't help but listen at the door for a while. But the more I listened, the more familiar the voices became.
Unexpectedly, I actually saw Song Qianyi when I went downstairs.
Although he disliked Song Qianyi, she was, after all, Brother Ji's wife and represented the Ji family when she went out. If he bullied Song Qianyi, wouldn't that be the same as bullying Brother Ji?
"How dare you! You're just an ordinary person, how dare you question our boss! Let me tell you the truth, everyone who sees him during this process has to give him some face!"
The manager looked proud, but his gaze towards Song Qianyi and the others was full of disdain.
"Judging from your clothes and appearance, you don't look like wealthy people. You'd better not cause trouble, or you'll be the ones who suffer in the end."
I don't know what those people were thinking, bringing in such an ordinary group of people. It's an insult to his profession.
He's a highly trained individual, specializing in serving CEOs and their wives. What bad luck he's had today, running into such a group of people.
"If something is lost here, shouldn't you be responsible?"
Song Qianyi said angrily.
"Don't make false accusations, woman. Who can prove that you lost this thing here? I suspect you're trying to scam me."
The manager has a foul mouth and swears every now and then.
"In that case, let's call the police. I don't think this manager is a clean thief. Maybe he stole your earrings."
Xue Jianchen lost patience with arguing with him and took out his phone to call the police, but as soon as he dialed a number, his phone was snatched from his hand.
"what are you doing?!"
Looking at the phone lying on the ground, Xue Jianchen felt extremely distressed; it was a brand new phone he had just gotten last month!
"I told you not to cause trouble. Once you're here, just enjoy the visit!"
The manager's face was contorted with rage, and he looked terrifying.
Seeing his expression, Song Qianyi's face turned completely cold, and she said, "My earrings are antiques worth hundreds of millions. As the manager here, you not only didn't help us find them, but you also kept obstructing us. I now have very good reason to suspect that you had them stolen."
Upon hearing that it was an antique worth hundreds of millions, the manager visibly panicked, but still stubbornly refused to bow his head.
"Don't forget, we're only staying here for a few days. We can still call the police after we get out. Are you going to detain us here for the rest of our lives?"
"Even if your boss is rich, he wouldn't protect someone as insignificant as you, would he? I won't make things difficult for you; just call all the staff here and search them."
Hearing this, the manager completely backed down and reluctantly called everyone over. In less than five minutes, a dense row of people stood in the hotel lobby.
"This rich man's wife lost a pair of antique earrings worth hundreds of millions. Everyone should cooperate in checking them, otherwise people will think we stole them."
The manager loudly announced the matter to all the staff, which immediately caused a stir among them.
"Rich people have so many problems. They were just going out to relax, why did they bring such valuable things? Now that they've lost them, they're causing us trouble."
"I suspect they just want to throw the stuff away, then pin the blame on one of us, and then saddle us with an exorbitant debt."
The people below were talking amongst themselves, and everyone was afraid, because no one wanted to take the blame.
Song Qianyi ignored their words, while Ji Jingshen, who was standing next to her, called over his bodyguards to prepare for a body search.
Upon seeing the tall, black-clad bodyguards in front of them, the crowd immediately erupted into chaos. It was at this moment that Song Qianyi noticed a short waitress arriving late. She glanced around warily, and only after confirming that no one had noticed her did she quickly blend into the group.
Song Qianyi frowned, but did not immediately react. Instead, she waited quietly for the bodyguard to finish searching her.
"Look, we didn't make this at all. I think you're just bragging about these antique earrings worth hundreds of millions!"
At first, he was indeed shocked by the high price of the earrings, but after he calmed down, he realized that something was wrong.
Who in their right mind would wear such expensive jewelry out in public?
