Chapter 215
Since there had been a commotion earlier, everyone present knew who the makeup artist was, and all eyes immediately focused in that direction.
The bridesmaids who had just left had already gone out to gossip, so some people knew that the makeup artist was Elder Luo's Second Son's girlfriend.
But now, suddenly there was a necklace theft incident, and it pointed to the makeup artist.
Instead of looking at Tang with suspicious eyes, everyone had expressions of anticipation for drama.
Who doesn't love watching drama unfold?
Elder Luo's Second Son's girlfriend stealing Elder Luo's Eldest Son's wife's necklace.
This was getting interesting.
Seeing the Cousin Sister who had changed clothes charging straight towards Tang, Xuan Yi quickly appeared behind her and said, "Cousin, don't be rash, it might not be Miss Tang who took it."
This statement further confirmed certain suspicions.
By now, Luo Cheng's face was full of impatience. What was going on today? It was truly cursed, with so many problems arising. Even he was having trouble keeping his temper in check.
"What's going on?"
Xuan Yi came downstairs with a wronged expression and said to Luo Cheng, "It was the birthday gift from Luo Zhou back then. You know the value of that necklace... I just showed it to Miss Tang for a moment, wanting her help to choose a necklace that would match the dress, but when I went back to help Cousin Sister change clothes, I discovered the necklace was missing."
Luo Cheng stepped forward and said in a low voice, "She's Second Brother's girlfriend, how could she steal anything?"
In Luo Cheng's view, his second brother's girlfriend wouldn't need to do such a thing.
"But... she didn't seem to know earlier that Second Brother was from the Luo family, and she seems to be quite short on money lately. I wonder if she might have temporarily strayed from the right path," Xuan Yi said troubledly. "It's all my fault, I should have stopped Cousin Sister and handled this privately."
Luo Cheng felt something was very strange. From the moment he learned that the makeup artist Xuan Yi found was Second Brother's girlfriend, things had felt odd. He wasn't sure whether Xuan Yi had known beforehand that she was Second Brother's girlfriend, but now wasn't the time to question it, as the situation had already exploded.
Tang froze when she heard those words, her face full of confusion and shock.
The people at her table, who had just consumed the breakup gossip, were also looking at each other in surprise.
Luo Zhou, who had been staring blankly at the bracelet, suddenly heard those words and saw Cousin Sister charging over aggressively. He immediately stood up, grabbed Tang's hand and said, "It's okay, don't be afraid."
Tang came to her senses, merely glancing at Luo Zhou before pulling her wrist away.
"I didn't do anything, what should I be afraid of?"
Luo Zhou's heart ached, and he became even more flustered, like trying to grasp sand slipping through his fingers. He couldn't help but say, "I was wrong to pretend to be poor and deceive you before, but now isn't the time for you to be angry with me. Let me handle this."
Tang almost laughed from anger. She suddenly looked at Luo Zhou, her eyes full of confusion.
"What?" Luo Zhou felt uncomfortable under her gaze.
Tang just shook her head, her lips curled in contempt. The words she had just poured from her heart had been completely dismissed by him as insignificant, treating her as if she was just throwing a tantrum.
Had she been blind these past two years? What exactly had she seen in him? Now that she had stripped away the filter she had placed on him, he was so despicable.
Tang couldn't bear to look at him anymore. As she glanced around, her eyes met Ji Fei's, who was urgently trying to signal her.
Unfortunately, she couldn't hear Ji Fei's thoughts and thus couldn't respond.
[Oh no, Tang, you should check the compartment of your bag! After Xuan Yi showed off to you earlier, she secretly hid the necklace in your bag when you turned around.]
The Qin Family was stunned as they listened. They had wondered how such a low-level accusation could be possible, but it turned out to be a trap that had been set up in advance, just waiting to catch the thief red-handed.
Qin Xian: No wonder Ji Fei had made those movements earlier, looking like she wanted to rush forward. She probably first thought about grabbing the bag to save Tang.
But with all these witnesses present, nothing could be done now.
Even Qin Xian couldn't help but frown at this situation.
But what puzzled Qin Xian more was why Xuan Yi would do this. Wasn't she afraid of losing control of the situation and having her own affairs exposed?
But thinking carefully, Xuan Yi indeed had nothing to fear. After all, her relationship with Luo Zhou had been underground, never publicly acknowledged. Even those who knew were just their own people, and their friends wouldn't come forward to testify against them. Luo Zhou himself wouldn't expose such matters either.
Even if Tang spoke up, there would be no evidence, as the necklace had been given openly as a birthday gift.
Xuan Yi's scheme probably had the same purpose as Cousin Sister's earlier plan.
But this meant destroying the wine tasting party that the Luo family had carefully prepared...
[Ah! I can't believe it, Xuan Yi actually planned to sacrifice this wine tasting party to completely sever any possibility between Tang and Luo Zhou. Unlike the previous small tricks like the makeup artist fees that would only cause dislike, if this wine tasting party is ruined, even with Luo Zhou's temperament, if he insists on being with Tang, he would definitely face absolute obstacles. It's really... leaving no room for alternatives.]
[I really can't help but ask again, if you're working so hard to prevent them from being together, why did you break up in the first place?]
Qin Xian frowned, his eyes full of disgust. He never knew Xuan Yi was such a contradictory person, willing to destroy everything Eldest Brother Luo had worked hard to prepare for her own selfish desires. It seems that even after knowing someone for many years, you still might not truly know their heart.
The Qin Family, hearing this, was amazed by Xuan Yi's malicious intentions. Earlier, the Luo Couple had been bragging about marrying a virtuous and excellent wife who helped her husband's career.
They had heard people comparing the wives of their two families before, saying that Qin Xian had married an evil daughter-in-law.
Just moments ago, the Luo Couple couldn't help but ask why Ji Fei wanted to become an artist, their words implying disapproval of a wealthy family's wife working as an artist.
If the truth comes out later, they'd really like to ask who really married the evil daughter-in-law.
So Ji Fei and Qin Xian needed to step up... they must expose this!
Aliali: 67557806bd5e46c308b2ff4aBut before Ji Fei could think of a way, Cousin Sister had already rushed over, pointing directly at Tang and saying, "Did you steal my cousin's necklace?"
"I didn't," Tang said firmly.
"But in that makeup room, except for you, an outsider, everyone else was family. And with our wealth, none of us would covet that necklace, so you're the only suspect. Let me check your bag." Cousin Sister reached for the bag.
"Stop!" Luo Zhou directly intervened, pushing Cousin Sister away. "She is my girlfriend, why would she need to steal a necklace?"
[Well, he finally did something right. But has he forgotten that he just got dumped? Is he thinking this will prevent him from being dumped later?]
Naturally, as soon as Luo Zhou said this, their relationship was exposed, and the Luo Couple hurried over to ask about the situation.
Luo Zhou was truly protecting Tang, making Cousin Sister so jealous that her eyes turned red with anger. Xuan Yi walked over at this moment, patting her back, and though she said nothing, she gave her unspoken support.
Ji Fei and Qin Xian watched carefully, and sure enough, at some point, the necklace Xuan Yi was wearing was no longer the one she had deliberately shown off to Tang earlier.
[It's just unfortunate, it probably happened when we were planning to leave, so we didn't see it. Otherwise, we would have stopped this conspiracy earlier...]
Qin Xian suddenly paused, taking out his phone uncertainly.
