The Whole Internet is Waiting for Master Fu to Fall in Love

Chapter 12: I Wonder If It Will Break

The room was filled with the sound of agonizing cries as the butler regained his composure and looked down at Aunt Lin.

He saw her sitting on the ground, clutching her knees tightly, her face contorted in pain.

He swallowed hard and turned his head, looking at Gu Qingning with a hint of fear in his eyes. "Miss Qingning, Aunt Lin was just..."

Gu Qingning played with the glass sphere, her knuckles slightly bent. "If you want to speak up for her, your fate might be worse than hers."

Her tone was indifferent, tinged with a hint of hostility.

The butler instantly fell silent, his face showing embarrassment.

Gu Qingning put the glass sphere back into her pocket and calmly opened the jewelry box. "Call Cheng Yu and tell her to come back."

The jewelry box had no lock and was easily opened.

Jade emperor green bangle, top-grade sapphire necklace, diamond ring the size of a pigeon egg...

There was no limit to their value, only more expensive ones.

Gu Qingning clicked her tongue. They were all good things.

She looked at the butler and curled her lips into a wicked smile. "Ten minutes, the countdown begins."

The butler, his hand trembling, quickly took out his phone and dialed the number.

Someone answered the call quickly, interrupting Cheng Yu's card game. Her voice carried a hint of displeasure. "What's the matter? Speak up."

"Madam, something happened at home. Please come back as soon as possible." The butler spoke cautiously, knowing Cheng Yu's temper.

"What happened? Isn't it just that brat Gu Qingning coming back?" Cheng Yu, who had received a message from Aunt Lin in the car, was already rushing back.

The butler glanced at Gu Qingning, his gaze falling on the large iron hammer. He quickly said, "Miss Qingning said that if she doesn't see you after ten minutes, she will smash the jewelry in your jewelry box."

Upon hearing the words "jewelry box," Cheng Yu's face changed slightly. "What jewelry box?"

"...It's the jewelry box in your safe." The butler hesitated.

"What did you say?" Cheng Yu's voice cracked with anger, sounding like a firecracker being lit.

"How did she open the safe? Who let her into my bedroom?" The butler's ears were ringing from the shock as he said, "Madam, you'd better come back quickly."

Otherwise, her priceless jewelry would be in danger. However, he dared not say that.

Anger surged within Cheng Yu, and she grabbed her phone, roaring, "Keep an eye on her. Are all those guards just for show? Arrest her for me. If any of my things are damaged, I won't spare any of you."

After hanging up the phone, she turned to the driver and snapped, "Drive faster."

The driver couldn't make out her words clearly but didn't dare to speak up, resigned to driving faster.

The warm breeze outside was intoxicating, but inside the room, it felt like the heart of winter, bone-chillingly cold.

After experiencing the pain, Aunt Lin had become more obedient and didn't even dare to take a deep breath while watching Gu Qingning play with the expensive jewelry.

Suddenly, the cool gaze of the young girl turned towards her, and Aunt Lin felt a sense of horror as if she were being stared at by a demon.

Gu Qingning curved her lips, a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "Of these trinkets, which one does Cheng Yu like the most?"

She held a jade emperor green bangle in one hand and a sapphire necklace in the other. "Is it this one or this one, hmm?"

Aunt Lin dared not speak in anger, but she stared at Gu Qingning tightly, not daring to utter a word of insult as she had just done.

Gu Qingning shifted her gaze. "What do you think?"

Confronted with her icy gaze, the butler almost kneeled before her in fear.

The butler had a mournful expression on his face. "I... I don't know."

Only three days had passed, yet a person could change so dramatically.

"Well, which one do you think is the most expensive?" she continued to ask.

"I really don't know." The butler hugged himself in anguish, wondering where this demon had come from.

Gu Qingning raised an eyebrow and set down the sapphire necklace. "Then let's start with this one."

The butler watched her play with the jade emperor green bangle between her fingertips and felt a surge of anxiety.

He glanced at the clock on the wall; there were only two minutes left.

It's over.

Third Young Master, if you don't come soon, something big will happen.

Time slipped away second by second, and the butler and Aunt Lin were drenched in sweat.

"The time is up." Her voice was extremely soft, tinged with a hint of playfulness.

Gu Qingning picked up the bangle and tapped it on the table, intermittently.

With each tap, the butler and Aunt Lin felt as if boxes of red banknotes were flying away.

At that moment, chaotic footsteps could be heard at the door.

Cheng Yu burst in with a group of guards, rushing so quickly that her carefully styled hair was disheveled.

She leaned against the door frame, gasping for breath.

Suddenly, a flash of emerald caught her eye.

Cheng Yu's expression instantly turned ferocious as she stomped forward on her high heels. "Gu Qingning, if you dare to break my bangle..."

A crisp, clear sound struck Cheng Yu's heart.

Looking at the shattered jade bangle on the table, her face turned a ghastly shade of purple.

She actually dared...

Gu Qingning reached out and skimmed over the jewelry box, her slender fingers picking up a sapphire necklace lazily. "This necklace looks quite beautiful. I wonder if it's sturdy enough to withstand a smash."

Cheng Yu snapped back to her senses, seeing the sapphire necklace in Gu Qingning's hand, her eyes turning scarlet. She gritted her teeth and demanded, "Gu Qingning, put it down."

"Judging by your expression, you must really like this necklace." Gu Qingning looked at her with a smile that was not a smile, placing the necklace back on the table and casually picking up a large iron hammer.

"Tell me, if I were to strike this hammer, would the sapphire break?"

Rage surged in Cheng Yu's eyes as she sternly commanded, "What are you all standing around for? Quickly, capture her."

A hint of determination flashed in Gu Qingning's crimson lips as she uttered words full of ruthlessness. "Too late."

She raised the iron hammer and decisively brought it down.

"Bang—"

"No!"

Cheng Yu's attempt to stop her came a step too late.

The deep blue gemstone cracked, losing its former brilliance and becoming dull.
