PFC Chapter 275 Greedy
Chapter 275 Greedy
Chapter 275 Insatiable Greed
Xu Yanxin looked at the jewelry that should have been in her jewelry box, but was now displayed in a second-hand shop. What else could she not understand?
She originally thought that Aunt Guo only had some selfish motives, so her words were inevitably somewhat biased when she was teaching her.
But she never expected that the other party would be so immoral, actually stealing her jewelry to exchange for money. What's the difference between that and theft!
And the more information the staff members revealed, the colder her heart became.
With just this one employee and in just this one shop, Aunt Guo has sold no fewer than ten pieces of her jewelry.
What about other places she couldn't see? Did Aunt Guo sell other valuables of hers as well?
What's even more frightening is that Aunt Guo sold so many of her things, some of which date back several years, yet she knew nothing about it.
Because these things are still safely kept at her home.
In other words, everything in her house must be fake; the real items were all swapped out without her knowledge.
Xu Yanxin broke out in a cold sweat when she thought about how she had lived under the same roof with such a scheming and deep-thinking person for so many years and had been completely unguarded with him.
Xu Yanxin felt that she was fortunate to have lived this long.
Otherwise, if the other party really had bad intentions and wanted to kill her, it would be too easy for them.
It was because I trusted Aunt Guo too much that I gave her an opportunity to take advantage of me.
However, considering her previous state, Xu Yanxin didn't find it surprising.
She used to lock herself in the villa every day, with no friends and no social life.
Even if Aunt Guo does some bad things outside, she doesn't have to worry about being found out.
Xu Lengyu and Yuan Yangyang both noticed Xu Yanxin's low spirits and knew what she was worried about.
Xu Lengyu tried to subtly extract other useful information from the staff.
It's no wonder she grew up in a wealthy family; she's got a lot on her mind in just a few words, and she exposed all of Aunt Guo's secrets in no time.
According to staff, in addition to selling secondhand luxury goods at this shop, Aunt Guo is also a regular customer of another shop that specializes in secondhand luxury handbags and a secondhand clothing shop.
Xu Lengyu instructed Xu Yanxin to keep a record of everything Aunt Guo sold in the shop, as evidence.
Then they immediately headed to the next address.
After visiting these shops, the group's eyes were opened.
People like Aunt Guo, who are so greedy and insatiable, are truly rare.
By this calculation, Aunt Guo has replaced almost all of Xu Yanxin's valuable jewelry, so it's likely that Xu Yanxin now has very few genuine pieces left in her jewelry box.
Xu Yanxin herself had not studied these things and rarely went out, so she hardly needed them.
But these were all bought for her by her father when he was away on business trips, or when he saw something nice at various auctions.
It represents her father's love for her.
Moreover, these luxury items add up to a considerable sum.
Similarly, the same applies to bags.
Aunt Xu sold her prized handbag and then found a replica to put on Xu Yanxin's shelf.
Xu Yanxin didn't usually carry bags, so she didn't notice that all the bags had been replaced with fakes.
And the various formal dresses and branded clothes are even more outrageous.
Aunt Guo had been consciously trying to manipulate Xu Yanxin since she was a child, warning her not to dress too flamboyantly, saying that those were not the clothes good girls would wear.
I always make her wear simple clothes.
This caused her to dress like a poor female student, even though she was clearly a rich heiress.
Although the clothes were not worn out, the style was not particularly outstanding, and could even be described as plain.
Those bright and eye-catching clothes were all left aside to collect dust. After a while, Aunt Gu would take these clothes, still with the tags on, to a second-hand store to sell them for money.
Xu Yanxin looked like she suddenly realized something. "No wonder my dad always buys me clothes, but my closet is never full."
Yuan Yangyang asked speechlessly, "Don't you think there's anything wrong with that? Can clothes grow wings and fly away on their own?"
Xu Yanxin's mind cleared up at this moment, and she realized that she had indeed been too confused before.
She said apologetically, "I did ask Aunt Guo, and she said that those clothes weren't quite right. She was afraid of wasting them, so she took them home for her relatives' children to wear. Sometimes she would also say that she donated them to children in mountainous areas."
Upon hearing this, not only Yuan Yangyang, but even the aloof and beautiful Xu Lengyu rolled her eyes in an unrefined manner.
"You believe that? Who in the mountains would dress so elegantly? Besides, this kind of skirt has so many layers. It's not appropriate for walking on mountain paths or working in the fields."
Xu Yanxin looks like the kind of naive girl who doesn't know much about common sense, which is why she was easily fooled.
Anyone with a modicum of common sense would know that there is a big problem with this statement.
Fortunately, these problems have now been discovered, and it's never too late to resolve them.
Worried that Xu Yanxin might not be able to handle the situation well, or that she might be bullied by Aunt Guo again, Xu Lengyu quickly offered some advice.
"Just tell your father what happened today and let him handle it. Those old foxes can deal with this kind of small fry like it's nothing."
"You must never act like a big shot, otherwise you'll be taken advantage of and still be counting the money for the seller!" Xu Lengyu carefully warned.
Xu Yanxin nodded obediently, indicating that she understood.
Looking at the two of them, Yuan Yangyang had a strong resemblance to a nagging mother and a well-behaved daughter.
She shook her head vigorously, trying to shake the images out of her mind.
That's terrifying! If my best friend had a daughter that big, I can't imagine how old I would look!
Back! Back! Back away from unpleasant images!
While shopping, Yuan Yangyang and Xu Lengyu suddenly had a whim and picked out a few outfits for Xu Yanxin that suited her.
This is completely different from her usual style.
Dressed like this, Xu Yanxin looked even more radiant and outstanding.
Instead of its previous drab, gray appearance that made it invisible in the crowd.
Yuan Yangyang admired her own outfit and felt a great sense of accomplishment.
The decision was final: "From now on, wear this. Throw away all your old, drab clothes; they don't suit you!"
"Youthful years should be spent wearing youthful colors!"
Xu Lengyu echoed her agreement, expressing her strong approval.
Looking at her drastically changed self, Xu Yanxin was very happy. She realized that she could be so beautiful and dazzling.
Thinking back to how Aunt Guo and Qin Huaiyu had intentionally or unintentionally belittled her and brainwashed her.
It could even create anxiety for her, making her feel unworthy.
Xu Yanxin clenched her fist.
