Turns Out, I'm from a Real Aristocratic Family!

Chapter 2: Thief

Fang Yuan maintained her smile, sensing an accusation brewing in the air. Was she being framed for theft?

"Why is Jiayi's necklace in your bag?" Song Ling couldn't believe her eyes and exclaimed, "Liguo, come and see! This wretched girl tried to steal Jiayi's necklace before leaving! We raised her all these years, and this is how she repays us with ingratitude!"

Hearing the commotion, Fang Liguo rushed over and was taken aback. "What's going on here?"

"It's alright, Mom and Dad," Fang Jiayi intervened, attempting to defuse the situation. She spoke with a seemingly understanding tone, "I intended to give this necklace to you, Sister, and have one for myself as well."

"How can that be the same? She gave it to you, and she stole it!" Song Ling fumed with anger. "Fang Yuan, you've learned nothing but thieving!"

"Mom, please don't speak ill of your own sister!" Fang Jiayi picked up the ruby necklace and handed it to Fang Yuan. "Sister, don't pay attention to Mom's words. I understand that you must have had a reason for taking this necklace, right? You're planning for the future, aren't you? I've heard that conditions there are quite challenging. I believe this necklace can be of use to you. Take it with you!"

The nanny couldn't help but interject, "Second Miss, you're truly kind-hearted. This necklace is worth 100,000 yuan!"

"Yes, the Master and Madame had it specially designed for you. It's one-of-a-kind!"

"Your name is even engraved on it!"

"Second Miss, if you're fond of this necklace, you can give it to the Elder Miss instead…"

"Don't you blame the Elder Miss for stealing your cherished necklace?"

"But the Elder Miss treats you so poorly, and yet you remain so kind-hearted!"

....

Upon hearing the nanny's praise, Fang Jiayi adopted a seemingly reasonable expression. "Sister needs this necklace more than I do!"

The nannies became increasingly emotional as they couldn't help but compare the two sisters. The more they compared, the more they felt that the Elder Miss fell short in every aspect compared to the Second Miss. Apart from being slightly more attractive, the Elder Miss couldn't match the Second Miss in any other way.

Song Ling snatched the necklace away, her heart filled with anguish. "You're such a foolish child! She's a never-ending pit. Even if you give her ten necklaces, it won't be enough!" She glared at Fang Yuan with disdain. "We've done everything to raise you, and this necklace is a gift for Jiayi. Don't even think about it! Get out before I call the police!"

"Mom!" Fang Jiayi anxiously interjected. "Sister's parents are unemployed, and she has five unmarried brothers and a seriously ill grandmother at home. You've shouldered so much, and selling this necklace can provide some financial relief. You need it more than I do…"

The nannies were deeply moved by Fang Jiayi's kindness. She showed such understanding!

"Mom, you already gave me the necklace, so I have the right to decide its fate!" Fang Jiayi retrieved the necklace from Song Ling's grasp and presented it to Fang Yuan as if it were a precious treasure. "Elder Sister, please take it. I don't blame you for anything. I had intended to give it to you…"

Fang Yuan looked up, her bright, black eyes scrutinizing Fang Jiayi. Emphasizing that she was stealing? That was all this little sweet girl could do!

"Sister, leave it to me. I'll handle them."

Fang Yuan smiled, as if she saw through the situation entirely.

Fang Jiayi couldn't help but feel a tinge of fear from Fang Yuan's demeanor. She appeared so indifferent and in control, exuding an air of superiority like that of a regal queen. It was intimidating and made others feel a sense of guilt.

Fang Yuan accepted the necklace with a smile. She didn't care for such a low-quality ruby. Its purity, color, and cut were all subpar. Could it have been made in a small workshop? Could it truly be worth 100,000 yuan?

In her eyes, the necklace held no value. As everyone watched, she effortlessly discarded the necklace into the trash can, her actions swift and smooth.

Shock and disbelief painted the faces of everyone present. Even Song Ling remained stunned for a long moment before exclaiming angrily, "Fang Yuan, what are you doing? That's your sister's favorite necklace. She gave it to you out of kindness, and you threw it in the trash!"

"If it's given to me, I have the right to decide its fate," Fang Yuan raised an eyebrow, glancing at each person in the room. "I haven't taken any of the things you've bought for me over the years." However, she didn't care about a single necklace.

"I bought my own clothes and bags with my own money."
