Qiao Ran originally wanted to go to Xu Chengxiang's side, but after hearing this voice, his footsteps really stopped in place for a moment, and he couldn't take a step forward anymore.

Chu Junbei naturally watched Qiao Ran's movements, and saw that she was interesting, and his mood was slightly better.

Xie Ruiyu didn't know that Chu Junbei didn't come this time because of himself at all, and greeted Chu Junbei very warmly: "Mr. Chu, I heard that you just came back from abroad, and I wanted to find time to visit, but I haven't been free." ”

"Mr. Xie is polite." Chu Junbei said, naturally taking two steps to this side, "Introduction?" ”

Xie Ruiyu then introduced Xu Chengxiang and even Qiao Ran.

However, Qiao Ran didn't even dare to look at Chu Junbei.

She still remembered what had just happened outside the bathroom, and this man was like a madman, and he didn't hold back in that kind of place.

She's really a little scared right now.

Chu Junbei didn't pay attention to it at all, and even after saying hello to Xu Chengxiang through the motions, he turned his gaze to Qiao Ran's face, "Miss Qiao, I'm glad to meet you." ”

It sounded as if he didn't know Qiao Ran.

Qiao Ran felt a little better in her heart, but she still didn't dare to look at Chu Junbei's face, she just shook his hand symbolically, and then let go.

Xie Ruiyu is the host of this banquet, so he naturally wants to go up to give a speech, tell about his life abroad this year, and express his gratitude to everyone present.

Xie Ruiyu didn't squirm at all, and after bowing shallowly, he walked to the piano that had been prepared long ago and sat down, and played a classic piece.

Qiao Ran looked at the prince sitting in front of the piano, watched his slender and slender ten fingers keep flying and jumping on the black and white keys, and watched him enjoy the playing process, and couldn't help but smile on his lips.

He'll always be like that, always so good, almost perfect.

However, Qiao Ran's gaze at this time once again fell on Chu Junbei's eyes.

Gritting his teeth, Chu Junbei finally resisted the urge to pull people into the room, and reminded him in a suppressed voice: "Have you seen enough?" ”

It sounds like a question, but it doesn't mean anything at all, but rather a little aggressive.

Qiao Ran suddenly remembered what was happening outside the bathroom, and instantly took her gaze back, and as soon as she turned her head, she met Chu Junbei's somewhat cold gaze, and couldn't help but stiffen her back.

"I ...... I didn't look at it. Qiao Ran didn't dare to look at Chu Junbei, and looked down at his hand that kept squeezing his handbag.

Who knows, her reaction like this made Chu Junbei even more unhappy.

Look at other men with relish, and immediately look away when you look at yourself?

"Qiao Ran!" Chu Junbei said coldly.

At this moment, Xie Ruiyu's song ushered in a full round of applause, which just suppressed Chu Junbei's cold voice.

Qiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that Xu Chengxiang was not far away, so he went to Xu Chengxiang's side.

Not far away, a girl's exclamation suddenly came: "Ah! My bracelet is missing! ”

Someone next to him immediately asked, "What kind of bracelet?" ”

Because this voice was very familiar, Qiao Ran looked over there, and when she looked at it, she saw Pei Xianglin and Lin Weiwei standing together.

Pei Xianglin looked at her fair and slender wrists, and her good-looking eyebrows were wrinkled, "A bracelet that is very important to me, inlaid with gems, worth 100 million!" ”

She didn't lower her voice when she spoke, and the bracelet of 100 million was indeed a treasure among treasures, and many people looked over here.

Pei Xianglin is Xie Ruiyu's female companion, and Xie Ruiyu is the protagonist of this banquet, so naturally many people have paid attention to Pei Xianglin from the beginning, and when they look at her wrist at this moment, they all recall it carefully:

"I remember that when Miss Pei came, she did wear a bracelet, which was priceless at first glance!"

"Wouldn't it be a pity if we just lost it?"

Xie Ruiyu, who was originally talking to others, also came over at this moment, "Xianglin, what's wrong?" ”

Pei Xianglin looked very anxious, grabbing her wrist, if it weren't for her image, she would probably have jumped up, "Ruiyu, I lost my bracelet." ”

When Xie Ruiyu heard this, he immediately became anxious, after all, what could make Pei Xianglin so anxious was also very important to think about.

So he immediately asked again, "Did you drop it somewhere?" Where have you just been? Have you looked for it all? ”

"I've looked for it, but I haven't found it." Pei Xianglin was so anxious that she was about to cry, "Ruiyu, what do you say about this?" That bracelet...... That bracelet ......"

She didn't finish speaking, but her eyes were red, and her voice, which was originally like a broken Kunshan jade, also had a crying tone, and she couldn't say the rest of the words.

Lin Weiwei was standing next to Pei Xianglin, it seemed that she and Pei Xianglin should have known each other before, she frowned and thought for a while, and made a guess: "Will it be ...... Was it stolen? ”

He Yuanyuan also stood up at this moment: "It is also possible that someone picked it up somewhere." ”

As she spoke, she also said to the people who were watching the excitement next to her: "That necklace is very important to Miss Pei, if anyone picks it up, please return it to her." ”

Pei Xianglin was a little anxious: "I will definitely reward you with a lot of money!" ”

She said it sincerely, but no one returned the bracelet, and everyone around her was just admiring her for liking it.

Seeing that no one spoke, Lin Weiwei asked again: "Miss Pei, who did you contact just now?" ”

Pei Xianglin thought about it carefully and quickly gave an answer: "I saw Ruiyu's junior sister in the bathroom. ”

She looked at Xie Ruiyu, as if she was afraid that Xie Ruiyu would not be able to remember, and reminded: "It's Xu Chengxiang's female companion." ”

"You mean Qiao Ran?" Xie Ruiyu asked.

Pei Xianglin nodded again and again, "Yes, I've only seen her." ”

As soon as her voice fell, He Yuanyuan immediately found Qiao Ran accurately in the crowd, "Qiao Ran, are you ......?"

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Chu Junbei also at the scene, and He Yuanyuan's words subconsciously stopped.

Last time in the mall, Chu Junbei helped Qiao Ran get out.

But after thinking about it, the last time Chu Junbei targeted him, it was because he inadvertently offended Mrs. Chu, and it was not just to help Qiao Ran.

Thinking like this, the fear in her heart was relieved, but she didn't say too much, lest Chu Junbei feel that she was unforgiving.

She just made a very objective appearance and asked Qiao Ran: "Qiao Ran, have you ever seen Miss Pei's bracelet?" ”

Qiao Ran had been paying attention to Xie Ruiyu all the time, and naturally noticed what Pei Xianglin was wearing, but when she was in the bathroom, she didn't look carefully at all because of her confusion.

She shook her head honestly, "I haven't seen it." ”

Before Pei Xianglin could speak, He Yuanyuan spoke: "Didn't you go to the bathroom together?" Didn't you see it in there either? ”

Qiao Ran hesitated for a moment and corrected: "I don't know Miss Pei well, and I didn't go to the bathroom together, I just happened to meet inside." ”

Lin Weiwei grasped the point and immediately asked, "So you really saw it in the bathroom?" ”

Qiao Ran nodded in acknowledgement, completely unaware of why Lin Weiwei was so excited.

It was Xu Chengxiang on the side, he knew that He Yuanyuan and Lin Weiwei usually didn't have a good face for Qiao Ran in school, but now that they were suddenly like this, maybe they were doing a ghost, and immediately asked: "I just happened to meet him, it shouldn't explain anything, right?" ”

At this time, Pei Xianglin, who was still immersed in sadness and anxiety, spoke: "I took off the bracelet when I washed my hands, I don't know if it fell somewhere...... Miss Qiao, if you see it, can you please tell me? I will thank you. ”

As soon as she said this, Qiao Ran felt strange, "Miss Pei, it was obvious that I was leaving before you at that time." ”

When she left the bathroom, Pei Xianglin was still inside, how could she possibly know where Pei Xianglin's bracelet had fallen?

Lin Weiwei didn't think so, her voice suddenly rose up, and immediately attracted everyone's attention: "If you don't have a ghost in your heart, why do you want to go first?" ”

Feeling that this logic didn't make sense at all, Qiao Ran was surprised: "I left after washing my hands, do you think I have to wait for Miss Pei?" As I just said, I don't know Miss Pei well, so I only met today. ”

Xu Chengxiang can see that Lin Weiwei is clearly embarrassing Qiao Ran.

He had a cold face and said with a warning: "Lin Weiwei, don't go too far!" ”

Lin Weiwei had Pei Xianglin's support, but she was not as afraid of Xu Chengxiang as before, she stiffened her neck and said: "Xu Chengxiang, I know that you are protecting Qiao Ran at school, I just asked a few questions casually, why are you so nervous?" ”

She paused, then looked at Qiao Ran again, "Otherwise, let's let the security guard come in and search the body, so that we can find the person who stole the bracelet, how about it?" ”

Qiao Ran didn't take the bracelet, so naturally she was not afraid of searching, so she didn't raise any objections.

But what she didn't expect was that after Lin Weiwei called the security guard in, she actually pointed directly at herself and said, "Search her first, just search here." ”

Now Qiao Ran quit.

She looked at Lin Weiwei and asked, "There are so many people here, why did you start searching for me first?" ”

"Miss Pei has only been in contact with you, what's wrong with starting with you?" Lin Weiwei seemed to have a chance to win, with a smile on her face, "Or are you weak-hearted and don't dare?" ”

Xu Chengxiang laughed and looked at Lin Weiwei mockingly: "Aren't you also with Miss Pei?" And you are so clear about Qiao Ran, I doubt that you took the bracelet. ”

Chu Junbei originally wanted to help Qiao Ran speak, but when he heard Xu Chengxiang speak three times and twice, he drank the wine in the cup a little irritably.

Lin Weiwei and Xu Chengxiang were still arguing, Lin Weiwei insisted on searching Qiao Ran first, and she wanted to search her body under the gaze of the whole audience, Qiao Ran felt insulted, so of course she didn't do it.

Pei Xianglin listened to the dispute between the two parties, and didn't know if she felt that the matter was too big, so she pulled Lin Weiwei's hand, "Miss Lin, otherwise forget it, maybe it really has nothing to do with Miss Qiao." ”
