Chapter 406: 406, Even Thieves Have Friends
The next day.
The morning activity was indoors.
The teacher prepared some light-hearted IQquestions. Su Wanwan wanted Fu Ziyang to participate, but the kid was aloof and simply sat there expressionless.
Shi Luoluo, on the other hand, was lively. Maybe it was because she was the class representative that she felt she had to set an example. The girl was smart and beautiful, answering many questions right in a row, ultimately winning
first place.
When the awards were being given out, Su Wanwan’s phone rang abruptly.
“I’m going to take a call.”
Huo Jingshen nodded, “Don’t go too far.”
The call was from Zhao Qianqian, asking if she wanted to head to the reading
room.
Upon hearing that Su Wanwan was at Phoenix Mountain soaking in a hot spring, she exclaimed in surprise, “Wow, are you and Mr. Huo having a little couple getaway? You two are so sweet!”
Su Wanwan coughed twice, and didn’t deny it, “Enough chit-chat, if there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”
“Okay.”
When she hung up and was about to walk back, she heard a familiar voice coming from behind.
“I already told you, I didn’t take your stuff! I really didn’t take it!”
Then another even sharper female voice sounded, “Oh yeah, you didn’t take it, you stole it! You’re a thief!”
“I did not!”
“Still denying it? My necklace was clearly found in your bag! Did it just grow legs and walk in by itself?”
“I really didn’t take your stuff…”
“Playing the victim card after stealing and getting caught, huh? You’re as innocent as a white lotus!”
“Right, too bad Xixi isn’t here, who are you trying to impress with your acting?”
“A lowlife is always a lowlife. You think you can become a phoenix by latching onto Xixi?”
“You should at least keep your hands clean. Who could let a dirty person like you into their house?”
Su Wanwan quickly walked over.
The indoor landscape near the north entrance on the first floor of the clubhouse had an artificial mountain and a cascading stream, creating a distinctive atmosphere.
Bai Ruwei was standing there in a black one-piece swimsuit, wrapped in a bath towel.
Her fair face was streaked with tears, and the fingers clutching her bath towel were constantly trembling.
There were also two young girls standing in front of her. Judging from their silhouettes, they both had sensual figures and were wearing bikinis.
One of the girls with short hair sneered, “This necklace was a birthday gift from my grandmother, and you just took it.
“Nini,” the other girl tried to pacify her, “Let it go. Bai Ruwei came from the countryside. We’re in the same school. She’s so impoverished; she only eats vegetables every meal. Even her tuition is sponsored by the Mo Family.” The girl named Nini suddenly became angrier, “So being poor gives her the right to steal my necklace?”
“She probably wanted to sell your necklace for money. Or maybe she thought your necklace was pretty and wanted to steal it to please Xixi. After all, she was brought here by Xixi today…”
Those words poured fuel on the fire. Nini walked over, raised her hand, and slapped her, “How dare you! With your looks, you dream of marrying Xixi?
She almost immediately raised her hand again, slapping her a second time, “Do you even dare to think about entering the gates of the Huo Family? Look at your lowly character!”
just as she was about to land a third slap, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.
“Who are you?” She asked angrily.
Su Wanwan didn’t even acknowledge her. She shook her off and went over to help Bai Ruwei up, “Are you okay?”
Bai Ruwei’s face was already swollen and red. Hearing Su Wanwan’s voice, she kept her head down, as if she didn’t want Su Wanwan to see her face.
Su Wanwan spun around angrily, “Two against one, have you no shame!” “Who are you?” Xia Jiani almost fell over. Once she managed to steady herself, she asked angrily.
Su Wanwan replied coldly, “I’m her friend.”
“Friend?” Xia Jiani snorted, “Even thieves have friends?’
“I am not a thief!” Bai Ruwei abruptly lifted her head.
Su Wanwan looked at her.
She then noticed that Bai Ruwei had put on a bit of makeup, which added to her already elegant beauty. Especially since she had just got slapped twice, her cheeks were swollen and red, tears filled her eyes. She was biting her lower lip, her expression showing how wronged she felt, making her look even more pitiful.
For some reason, Su Wanwan was reminded of the time at the wedding when Bai Ruwei had been falsely accused by Su Yanyan… She looked exactly like this
then…
She instantly turned to the two girls, “You say she stole something, do you have any evidence?”
The girl who had been stirring the pot immediately replied, “The necklace was found in her bag. That’s the evidence!”
Su Wanwan sneered, “If I take the necklace and put it in your bag, does it mean…that you’re the thief?”
The girl’s face changed dramatically, “What are you talking about?
Su Wanwan retorted, “She stole from her friends while out on a trip, and carelessly put it in her bag, and just happened to be found out? Is she that stupid?”
Xia Jiani frowned.
The girl snapped, “Nini, don’t believe her. Anyone who’s friends with a thief can’tbeagood person!”
After saying this, she looked at Su Wanwan, decked out in high-end brands from head to toe, and sneered mockingly, “You have sly and flirtatious eyes, and you’re wearing so many designer labels. You must be hanging out with some rich businessman, right? It seems you and Bai Ruwei are really similar. You are both good at seducing men. Maybe you’re even a mistress… Ah! Before she could finish her words, a slap had already landed on her face.
She was flung back by the force, falling onto the artificial mountain.
