Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
i Shu’s words were confident and earned her the favor of many.
Coupled with her stunning beauty and composed deanor, many people returned to their seats, showing no intention of leaving.
Although everyone ca to the banquet with the purpose of currying favor with Lu Si, now everyone’s attention was on i Shu.
Compared to i Shu, Shen Yuan, the so-called fiancee, was sowhat neglected.
She quickly gave a signal to her grandmother, who was hiding in the corner and unwilling to step forward.
The old lady looked guilty, but unable to resist her granddaughter’s request, she suddenly wailed in the crowd, “It’s this i Shu! I rember her. She stole the hairpin my husband gave when he was young!”
“What? i Shu stole sothing?” This statent caused the previously quiet crowd to beco noisy once again.
The old lady kept her eyes closed while speaking, afraid to see i Shu’s current expression.
“Yes, it’s her! Last ti, she visited alone, claiming to be Yuan Yuan’s friend. 1 wasn’t on guard against her, and I took her around for a tour. After she left, 1 discovered that the hairpin in my room was missing, even though I had seen it that morning! It must be her who stole it!”
“So, you’re Shen Yuan’s grandmother?” Soone approached, curious about the details.
Only then did the old lady dare to open her eyes, continuing to cry out, “Yes! It’s all my fault for being too trusting. That hairpin was a token of love my husband gave . Now that my husband has passed away, 1 rely on looking at that hairpin every day to miss him!”
After speaking, she moved her legs with difficulty, took two steps towards the stage, and tearfully looked at i Shu. “Good child, Grandma is begging you. Can you return the hairpin to ? I’m willing to buy it back with money! I just ask you to return the hairpin to . It’s really important to !”
“Grandma, don’t cry for now.” So people couldn’t bear it and were afraid that at her age, sothing might happen on the spot. They quickly went over to support her to sit down.
So people were displeased with i Shu’s act of stealing and shouted loudly, “Miss i Shu, this old lady has already spoken to this extent. Hurry up and return the item. With Master Si backing you, do you lack that bit of money? If you need money, just ask Master Si directly. Master Si wouldn’t be stingy with his own mistress, right?”
“Yeah, what does the Lu family lack? Why bother stealing a hairpin from an old lady? Going to bed with Master Si one more ti would give you everything, right?” Those who stayed to watch the fun started to provoke again.
i Shu was furious, and her teeth were gritted. “Don’t listen to that old woman’s nonsense. My sister would never steal her things. Even if we don’t rely on anyone, we i family still have plenty of money!”
“Look at this kid, talking so rudely. Is this the i family’s way of upbringing their children?” Once i Shu’s younger brother spoke, he imdiately beca the target of pointing and comnting from the people below.
“Alas, you still don’t know about the i family’s situation? Their father’s mistress murdered his wife and replaced her, and now Wang Yue has already been executed. The i family mbers are not good people. I don’t think this i Shu is a good person either!”
The matter of Wang Yue’s trial had been widely circulated outside.
This kind of scandal was rare in this circle and had beco a hot topic of conversation for people.
Now, who didn’t treat this matter as a joke?
Even the other mbers of the i family were looked down upon.
i Shu coldly looked at the person who mocked her younger brother, expressionless. “Wang Yue is Wang Yue, my brother is my brother. Please don’t associate Wang Yue’s character with my brother. You can say whatever you want about , but if you talk about my brother, I’m afraid things won’t be so easy to settle. After all, you also know who is behind .”
This was the first ti she publicly admitted her relationship with Lu Si.
Others showed a knowing expression one after another.
i Shu pretended not to see.
Now, she hadn’t inherited the company and was still just a student. These people were either rich or noble. Besides relying on Lu Si to support her, she temporarily had no other way to silence these people.
Shen Yuan, seeing that others were not speaking up, took advantage of the opportunity and said loudly, “Regarding Miss i Shu’s theft, 1 have already reported it to the police. The police are now on their way to the i family with a search warrant. If i Shu is really innocent, the police will naturally clear her na. But if that hairpin is found in i Shu’s house, I believe i Shu will have to explain it to my grandmother and everyone.”
When she said this, she was confident that she would win. It was as if she could already see i Shu being imdiately sent to the police station and having her reputation ruined.
As long as i Shu’s reputation was ruined, even if Lu Si’s Grandpa knew that Lu Si and i Shu were in love, he would never agree to let i Shu be the future wife of Lu Si.
And she would definitely be able to marry Lu Si.
Upon hearing that the police were going to her house, a rare panic flashed in i Shu’s eyes.. “No, Xiao He is still at ho!”
