Text Chapter 60: The Lie Exposed
Suddenly, Yan Zhixin frowned and looked at Yan Qingruo with an embarrassed expression, as if she didn't want to say these words at this time.
Yan Qingruo, who was pinched in her weakness, had no choice but to bend down, pout, and reluctantly hold up Yan Zhixin's two-meter-long skirt.
The moment she walked into the venue, Yan Zhixin successfully attracted the attention of the audience, and in the host of ceremonies, Chu Mu wore a black high-end custom suit, standing opposite like a towering green pine, quietly waiting for Yan Zhixin's arrival.
Yan Qingruo carried the bulky skirt, gritted her teeth and endured the pain in her feet, and the strange gazes of the people below.
"Wow, Miss Yan really lives up to her reputation, she is really the number one beauty in Jiangcheng!"
"Is the one in the back Miss Yan Er who has disappeared for a few years? I didn't expect that after so many years, she was still so coquettish. β
"Hee-hee, isn't it? Didn't you hear about it a while ago? She was pregnant before she was married, and she gave birth to children abroad! Later, I still with the man outside behind my fiancΓ©'s back! β
"Yes, yes, it is said that she is a foreigner, and her affairs almost appeared in the newspaper!"
Yan Qingruo bit her silver teeth hard, her eyes swept over the group of long-tongued women lightly, and when she looked at them, she still had a sweet smile on her face.
Chu Mu's gaze, which was originally unfocused, suddenly tightly caught Yan Qingruo, who was walking behind Yan Zhixin and kept her head down.
Feeling a sharp light shooting towards her, Yan Qingruo looked at the light, facing Chu Mu's deep eyes, which looked like a puddle of lake water.
He just looked at her like that, his eyes didn't blink, and he looked at Yan Qingruo who was holding a wedding dress in his arms as if no one was around.
Seeing this, Yan Zhixin deliberately stumbled her foot when she was about to walk to Chu Mu's side, pretending to be about to fall, and Chu Mu gentlemanly stretched out her hand and hugged her waist tightly.
After she stood firm, she immediately let go of her, but Yan Zhi looked at Chu Mu with a smile on her face, leaned into his arms, and smiled very nymphomaniac.
"Please Chu Shao and Miss Yan cut the engagement cake together!" The emcee's voice rang out from afar.
Along with the voice of the master of ceremonies, there was thunderous applause from the audience.
Yan Qingruo, who was standing silently in the corner of the stage, glanced at the stage boringly, and after a circle, she didn't expect to see Li Aili, which made her feel interesting.
She was wearing a long black dress, still a cool black jacket outside, she stood firmly in the crowd with a wine glass, her eyes biting Yan Zhi's heart, and her eyes were full of hatred.
Yan Qingruo felt that Li Aili at this time was like a bomb, and she didn't know when she was likely to be ignited and exploded.
Yan Zhixin reluctantly left Chu Mu's embrace, she smiled slightly, with a shy smile on her face, her eyes flowed, and she glanced at him affectionately, before turning around and taking the knife in the master of ceremonies' hand ladylikely.
"Brother Chu, can you hold my hand together?" Yan Zhixin smiled and handed the knife to Chu Mu.
Chu Mu stretched out his hand and took the knife expressionlessly, and then cut the three-layer cake with her neatly.
"Okay, friends, now please ask our Chu Shao to give the future Mrs. Chu the heirloom ring of the Chu family!"
The fat master of ceremonies saw that everything was over, and he smiled again and continued to carry the rhythm, and the scene cheered a lot again.
When he heard the words of Mrs. Chu in the future, Chu Mu's brows frowned slightly, but in an instant, he returned to his indifferent expression.
At this time, Yan Qingruo had already placed Yan Zhixin's big skirt on the ground and stood silently aside, thinking that there was nothing wrong with her, but she didn't expect that the master of ceremonies would actually hand over the ring to her, and motioned her to open the ring box and hand it to Chu Mu with her eyes.
Since she was a bridesmaid, she had no choice but to send the Buddha to the west, opened the ring box, silently lowered her head, and raised her hand slightly to hand it to Chu Mu.
Chu Mu just looked at her fixedly and didn't mean to take the ring, Yan Qingruo saw that he didn't move, so he had to raise his head to give him a look, who knew that his gaze stopped when it moved from her face to her half-exposed breasts.
His expression flashed with displeasure, but it was only for a moment, and after giving her a warning look, he slowly picked up the ring in the ring box.
Yan Zhixin pretended not to see the flirting between the two, she still maintained a charming smile on her face, and she was happy in the eyes of the people in the audience.
She stretched out her slender fingers, like a noblewoman lazily raising her sculpturally perfect fingers.
Expressionless, Chu Mu slowly put the ring in her hand into her index finger, and just as she was about to reach the root of her finger, the movement on Chu Mu's hand suddenly stopped.
Chu Mu's brows suddenly frowned tightly, and Yan Zhixin, who was a little weak-hearted, coughed slightly, her eyes kept rolling, and then motioned for him to continue.
"This ring is a fake."
After being quiet for a while, suddenly Chu Mu's cold and arrogant voice sounded throughout the banquet, but the small voice was with determination, which made the people present stunned for a while.
Yan Zhixin's eyes widened in surprise, no, this is impossible, how could he know that this was a fake ring? She found the world's most famous counterfeiter, imitating the previous style, and it was impossible to be so easily recognizable.
"Mu, what are you talking about? How could this ring be fake? β
Yan Zhixin pretended to be surprised and said that she had made up her mind to pretend to be stupid no matter what, even if she really decided that the ring was fake, she would not settle the account on her head.
At this time, there was an uproar in the audience, and those Jiangcheng celebrities exchanged heads and ears, and most of them looked at each other with curiosity, and they were all waiting for the next good show.
The people in the audience, only Li Aili was different, she had a smile on her face and smiled unscrupulously.
"The heirloom ring of the Chu family is engraved with a traditional Chu character in this place, and the craft of carving tiny characters has been lost, but the Chu family knows that if you magnify it four times with a magnifying glass, you can clearly see the Chu character carved with seal script."
Chu Mu stared at the side of the ring, picked up the ring with one hand, and pointed to the side of the ring, his frosty face did not change much.
"Normally, there should be only a small black dot here, and if you don't look closely, I'm afraid you won't be able to make out it. So, it is impossible for this ring to be forged. β
He paused, and continued to speak, until he had explained clearly, and then he glanced at everyone present, and stood there with a determined expression.
Yan Zhixin's face suddenly turned pale. Tears welled up in her eyes like a flooding river, and she took two steps back in disbelief.
"Mu, do you suspect me of cheating?"
As she spoke, her voice was so choked that it was not difficult to hear that her voice was trembling a little, but she looked at Chu Mu with an aggrieved look on her face.
Chu Mu snorted coldly, and he didn't feel half a point of pity and pity for the jade because of her pear blossoms and rain.
"I only know that our heirloom ring has been sent to your Yan family half a month ago." Chu Mu paused, narrowing his dangerous eyes, "Or do you think we deliberately sent you a fake ring?" β
Yan Zhixin was so frightened by Chu Mu's words that she even stopped crying, she opened her red eyes and looked at Chu Mu carefully, her body was already shaking.
"Mu, no, I didn't mean that, I mean, didn't this ring just be handed over to the master of ceremonies? Maybe it passed through someone else's hand along the way? β
The atmosphere on the stage was extremely stiff for a while, and the fat master of ceremonies who was innocently lying on the gun pushed the golden eyes, and hurriedly waved his white and chubby hand that was still holding the microphone.
"No, no, no, it's not me, I swear I haven't opened this box!"
Yan Zhixin seized the opportunity, and regardless of her eye makeup that was blurred by tears, she stepped forward with difficulty to ask the emcee, and she could even see that she was angry.
"You say it's not you, but what evidence do you have that it's not you? This ring has always passed through your hand alone, who else could it be if it wasn't you!? β
The master of ceremonies saw that Yan Zhixin was 100% sure that he had stolen the ring, and suddenly knelt on the ground with weak legs. If Yan Qing couldn't look at it, she went over to help up the fat master of ceremonies who was soft and collapsed.
"My good sister, may I ask if you have any evidence to prove that it was the master of ceremonies who stole it?"
Yan Qingruo stepped on high heels, looked at her indifferently, and the contempt in her words could be heard as soon as she heard it, she didn't put Yan Zhixin in her eyes at all and was seen by everyone.
Yan Zhi stared viciously at Yan Qingruo, who deliberately demolished the stage, and she warned her with a murderous look not to be too troublesome.
"If it's not him, then you tell me who else?"
Yan Qingruo almost gritted her teeth when she saw Yan Zhixin's appearance, she patted the emcee's arm, comforted him with her eyes, told him not to be afraid, and then met Yan Zhixin's persecutive gaze.
"Maybe you gave him a fake ring in the first place?"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar below, and the atmosphere on and off the stage dropped to freezing point for a while, and everyone didn't dare to discuss it, just watching the scene in front of them with their breath.
Yan Zhixin searched for Zhang Rou and Yan Zhengqing's figures with her eyes, hoping that they could help her out of the siege.
Zhang Rou understood what Yan Zhixin meant, and immediately grabbed Yan Zhengqing's arm tightly with red eyes and asked him to think of a way. It just so happened that Yan Zhengqing and his wife were sitting at a table with Qin Junlian, Yan Zheng cleared his throat and said to Qin Junlian opposite: "Mrs. Chu, look at this ......"
Qin Junlian, who had been under the table without saying a word, saw that the current situation was out of control, so she pushed the boat down the river to meet Yan Zhengqing's request, and she slowly stood up and walked to the stage.
But the first thing she did when she went on stage was not to distinguish the authenticity of the ring, but walked directly in front of Yan Qingruo and quickly slapped her.
The crisp applause resounded throughout the venue, and Qin Junlian, who was still smiling just now, immediately changed into a majestic face, like a wicked mother-in-law.
"This slap is to reward you for disrespecting your sister in public, and because of jealousy, you join forces with outsiders to sabotage your sister's engagement ceremony."
