Xiao Ruoxuan looked at her flustered father and said disdainfully, “It’s precisely because I know that I can’t give it to them. Or rather, I can’t give it to them easily.”

Xiao Lingbo frowned and asked, “What do you mean by that?”

Xiao Ruoxuan said, “What if I can get close to Cheng Yang?”

These words made Xiao Lingbo’s eyes light up, but what followed was worry. “How confident are you?”

A glint of determination flashed across Xiao Ruoxuan’s eyes as she said, “You guys just have to listen to me on this matter. Furthermore, even if I fail in the end, we can just sell the amulet to them. If I succeed, we will soar into the sky.”

They would settle this score. The anger in Xiao Lingbo’s heart was gone. He looked at Xiao Ruoxuan with praise and said, “As expected of my daughter. You are indeed smart.”

Xiao Ruoxuan despised her father even more. She said with a cold expression, “I’ll return to my room first. You have to cooperate with me in the future.”

Xiao Lingbo was enraged by his daughter’s impolite treatment, but he thought of Cheng Yang and swallowed his anger.

Xiao Ruoxuan returned to her room and washed up before lying on the bed to rest. After lying down for a while, she felt that she had missed something. Suddenly, she recalled that she had thrown the amulet into the trash can yesterday and quickly got up to take a look.

The bin had already been changed by the cleaning lady at home. Now there was a new trash bag in the bin, which meant the amulet had been lost.

She hurriedly came out and shouted, “Auntie Wang! Auntie Wang!”

Auntie Wang, who was busy in the kitchen, heard her call and quickly wiped the water off her hands. She asked, “Miss, did you call me?”

Xiao Ruoxuan hurriedly asked, “Who poured out the trash can in my room today?”

Auntie Wang thought for a moment and said, “It was Lexie.”

Seeing that she was anxious, Auntie Wang called Lexie over. Xiao Ruoxuan asked, “Where did you dump the rubbish in my room today?”

Lexie was a shy little girl. Seeing that she was so anxious, she panicked and stammered, “Miss… Miss, the trash is… It’s all in the trash dump.”

By the time she finished stammering, Xiao Ruoxuan had run out of patience. She had finally gotten the chance to sleep with Cheng Yang and would definitely not let him escape. She immediately said angrily, “Then why haven’t you gone to look for it yet?!”

Lacey shuddered in fear and then ran out in a panic.

Her abnormality was noticed by the Xiao couple in the living room. Xiao Lingbo asked, “Ruoxuan, why are you in such a hurry? What did you lose?”

Only then did Xiao Ruoxuan see them. Her body stiffened, but she did not dare to tell the truth. She could only say, “It was just that a favorite necklace accidentally fell into a trash bag. I forgot to take it out when I went out.”

Madam Xiao said, “If you really like it, buy another one. Why so anxious?”

Xiao Ruoxuan smiled dryly and found an excuse to leave. If Lexie found the trash bag, she could not look at it in front of them. Otherwise, her act of losing the amulet would be exposed.

When she went out the door, she saw Lexie standing in the doorway with a long face. She walked quickly and lowered her voice. “What are you doing here? I thought I told you to find some trash!”

Lacey shuddered and cried, “Miss, the trash in the trash dump has been taken away. There… there’s nothing left.”

Xiao Ruoxuan’s expression darkened as she scolded, “Then what’s the use of you?!”

Lacey stiffened, fear evident in her expression.

Xiao Ruoxuan calmed down, took a deep breath, and held her hand..
