Chapter 384: The Lost Diamond
slapped Yalan hard, which made Xu Xiangsi feel very good.
She was a little hungry because she hadn't eaten in the evening, so she found a quiet corner and began to indulge in those delicate snacks.
Her eyes locked on a piece of creamy cherry cake. The cake seemed to be very popular, and the last piece seemed to be specially prepared for her.
She didn't hesitate to do it, but as soon as she caught the cake, another one popped up out of nowhere.
Two tongs are clamped on the cake at the same time.
Xu Xiangsi wanted to give it to the other party, but when she saw Yalan beside her, her little face was cold.
"Loosen."
"Why?"
"I found out first."
"Heh, that's what I want to say."
"You ......" Xu Xiangsi was sullen for a while.
She realized that this woman couldn't swallow that breath, and wanted to make trouble for her.
Yalan's red lips lifted slightly, "Mrs. Leng, why bother, the huge Leng family, don't you even have to eat cake?" ”
Xu Xiangsi didn't have the heart to quarrel with her about such trivial things, or more precisely, she was too lazy to deal with it.
She took the clip back.
Arlan smiled silently, as the victor, the piece of cake was rightfully put on her plate.
I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, the cake fell from the clip halfway through, and it happened to fall on Xu Xiangsi's dress.
"What are you doing?!" Xu Xiangsi was furious.
Arlan feigned surprise, "Ah, I'm so sorry, Mrs. Leng. ”
"I see, you did it on purpose!"
"Mrs. Leng, don't say that, I'm really unintentional, I'll wipe it for you."
As he spoke, Yalan took out a tissue and bent down to wipe off the cream stained on her skirt for Xu Xiangsi.
"Enough!" Xu Xiangsi took a step back, her little face was angry, "I'll come by myself, I don't need you!" ”
After saying that, she glared at the smiling woman and went to the bathroom in a huff.
Looking at her departing back, Yalan showed an imperceptible sneer.
In the bathroom, Xu Xiangsi rubbed the traces of cream depressedly, but it was okay not to wipe it, and the more he wiped it, the more it spread a large area.
She hadn't worn the dress yet, it was still brand new, which made her how could she not be annoyed.
As she sulked alone, there was a rush of footsteps outside and a conversation between the two guests.
"Yo, something happened, let's go down and take a look!"
"Hurry up!"
Xu Xiangsi heard this, and pushed open the door curiously, just in time to see the two passing by.
"Wait a minute, what's going on?" She asked curiously.
"I heard that Mrs. Zhong's diamond was lost, and I'm looking for it in a hurry!"
"That's ......"
She thought it was funny.
This Mrs. Zhong looks very good, but she is a little too vain, and she shows off when she holds a diamond to meet people, is this good?
The traces of the cream couldn't be wiped off for a while, and it looked quite conspicuous, so she had no choice but to block the bag in front of it, so that she could cover it.
With that done, she went back to the hall, which was bustling with activity.
"Diamonds, my diamonds!" Mrs. Zhong was anxious, "Whoever stole my diamond, hurry up and hand it over to me!" ”
The diamond was lost, and Mrs. Zhong looked really anxious.
However, no matter how she questioned and shouted, everyone looked at each other, and no one stood up.
"Who the hell is it! This diamond is going to be auctioned off tonight for charity, so that I will steal it, and I will not be afraid of retribution! ”
Seeing that Mrs. Zhong was out of control, I don't know who said it among the guests.
"Madame Zhong, how can you conclude that it was stolen? Could it be that you accidentally lost it yourself? ”
"Impossible! When I took the toast just now, I left it on the table for a short while, and when I came back, it was gone, if it wasn't stolen, could it still disappear out of thin air?! ”
At this point, everyone was silent.
I don't know who proposed, "Since no one is standing, why don't you search your body!" ”
As soon as the words fell, many guests suddenly became noisy.
"How can this be true? Why is it so disrespectful! ”
"I didn't do anything wrong, what are you afraid of!"
"I disagree!"
“……”
For a while, the originally peaceful hall turned into a pot of porridge in an instant.
Mrs. Zhong's head hurt when she was noisy, and she said impatiently.
"Don't make any noise! In my opinion, let's search the body, it's not for me personally, it's for those children who can't afford to go to school so far, for charity, only offended! ”
Mrs. Zhong has spoken, her husband is the president of the bank, as Leng Mo said, no one dares to offend the bank when it comes to business.
The gilded door was closed, all the guests gathered, and the search began.
Xu Xiangsi stared at the scene in front of him, and there were only four words in his mind.
Ridiculous!
This was supposed to be a charity dinner, which was a great thing, but for the sake of a broken diamond, it was such a big oolong!
At this time, a maid of the Zhong family came to Xu Xiangsi and stood still, and said respectfully.
"Mrs. Leng, I'm offended."
After speaking, she was about to stretch out her hand, Xu Xiangsi took a step back, and her little face immediately turned cold.
"You're bold!" A coquettish voice full of energy.
The maid was suddenly startled, and looked at Mrs. Zhong with a pleading gaze.
Mrs. Zhong stepped on luxurious high heels, and the hem of the cheongsam skirt fluttered, and she came to stand in front of her and smiled.
"Mrs. Leng, I'm also very embarrassed, but I still ask you to cooperate."
Xu Xiangsi felt ridiculous, and as soon as the little temper in his heart came up, he left all Leng Mo's explanation behind.
"Mrs. Zhong, I regret that you lost the diamond. But you insult the dignity and human rights of everyone present for the sake of a single diamond, isn't that excessive? ”
Mrs. Zhong was stunned for a moment, and everyone present looked at Xu Xiangsi with a look of shock on their faces.
Xu Xiangsi's attitude made Mrs. Zhong's face a little unbearable, and her face gradually became ugly.
"Mrs. Leng, it's not for me, it's all for charity."
"In the name of charity, can human rights be suppressed? If a person's dignity has been trampled on, what is the use of charity! ”
Xu Xiangsi's eyes turned and swept over everyone's faces.
The men stood obediently, letting the servants search them, and they were as docile as lambs.
"You guys, where is the momentum just now? They will search if they want, and you will have no dignity? ”
In a word, Mrs. Zhong was speechless, and the few people who were accused also lowered their heads in shame and were silent.
When she came back to her senses, Mrs. Zhong almost fainted in anger, and her face with thick powder was almost distorted.
It's just a wild girl, with no family background and no background, she thinks that if she marries Leng Mo, she will fly on the branches and become a phoenix, but as everyone knows, a sparrow is always a sparrow, she dares to be so rampant, and she doesn't even take anyone in her eyes!
In the hall, the atmosphere seemed to freeze, and the silence was so quiet that it was audible when a pin dropped.
In the midst of the crowd, Arlan walked out.
Her red lips lifted slightly, and she sneered, "Xu Xiangsi, you are really so bold that you dare to be rude to Mrs. Zhong?" ”
"It's her rudeness that leads to me, and she can't complain about me!"
"Huh." Yalan chuckled lightly and said slowly, "It's righteous, I think, you have a ghost in your heart at all, right?" ”
"What?" Xu Xiangsi was stunned for a moment, and then his little face turned cold, "You dare to say that I steal something?" ”
"Isn't it? If you didn't do it, why not search it, don't dare? ”
Yalan's gratuitous and even unwarranted duty made Xu Xiangsi laugh angrily.
"Joke! Anyway, listen to me, I didn't take the thing, I will never tolerate being searched, it's as simple as that! ”
After saying that, she looked around and sneered.
"What kind of charity auction, I think, is just a nonsensical oolong farce, I will not accompany you!"
Seeing that she was about to leave, Yalan immediately became troubled.
"Mrs. Zhong, she stole the diamond, this is already obvious, she is weak in heart, she can't let her go!"
Mrs. Zhong's mind was a little messy.
Although she was very angry at Xu Xiangsi's disrespectful attitude towards her, she was also somewhat afraid of the Leng family.
No matter how hateful this girl is, she is also his cold woman, and if she continues to make things difficult, I'm afraid she will ......
Seeing her hesitation, Yalan stared at her and hurriedly urged.
"Mrs. Zhong, haven't you noticed? When she spoke, she clutched her bag tightly from beginning to end, this is not what is three hundred taels of silver here! ”
