If he hadn’t been splashed with tea by the new female employee today, he wouldn’t have changed his clothes, changed into this inferior wine-red tie, and collided with Xie Yunzhou’s tie again.
That’s right, he didn’t like this tie.
Hua Xuanhe straightened his back.
Let the drinks and wine come more fiercely!
Hearing the commotion at the banquet, Hua Xuanhe frowned slightly and walked toward the commotion.
There were people who dared to cause trouble at the banquet that he, Hua Xuanhe, was hosting?
On the way to watch the commotion, a waitress bumped into Hua Xuanhe.
Hua Xuanhe immediately lowered his head to check his clothes.
Fortunately, his clothes were not splashed with alcohol.
When he raised his head, the waitress who bumped into him had already disappeared.
At the same time, Hua Xuanhe and the others heard the discussion:
“Nan Wan’s ring has been lost. It seems to have been stolen.”
“Ah? It’s just a ring. Who would steal it?”
“From Nan Wan’s words, she thinks that Shi Xi stole it.”
Hua Xuanhe’s breath almost came to a halt.
He had warned Nan Wan openly and secretly, but Nan Wan refused to listen to him.
They had all grown up in big families, so why would she use such a low-profile trick?
Hua Xuanhe walked into the center of the crowd with a cold face. Oh, no, the center of the storm.
At this moment, Shi Xi and Nan Wan were already surrounded in the middle.
“If you like my ring, I can lend it to you, but you can’t steal it!” Nan Wan’s tears were brewing in her eyes. She looked like a pitiful victim, “That’s the first time I bought a ring with money. Although it’s not expensive, it’s my favorite accessory. Can you return it to me?”
Shi Xi heard Nan Wan’s mindless words and asked in confusion, “I didn’t steal anything from you. What do you want me to return?”
Hearing that, the short-haired woman beside Nan Wan stepped forward. “Nan Wan only spoke to you just now! I even met you in the bathroom. If you didn’t steal it, who did?”
“Shi Xi, don’t think that just because this is Yanjing, no one knows who you are. You took the place of the Shi family’s true daughter in Feng City. You’ve lived a good life for 18 years, and now you’re still taking over the magpie’s nest!
“You thief, even someone else’s life –”
“Enough!”
A stern shout interrupted the short-haired woman’s words.
Hua Xuanhe wore a cold face walked forward. When he reached Shi Xi’s side, he softened his expression and said, “I’m sorry, Miss Shi. It’s my fault for not treating you well enough and making you suffer.”
Nan Wan’s face turned pale. “Cousin, she stole something from me!”
She should have been the one who suffered, but why did her cousin apologize to Shi Xi?!
Hua Xuanhe’s cold eyes swept over her. “Nan Wan, why did you have to cause trouble at the banquet?”
Nan Wan clenched her hands.
Why?
Why did Xie Yunzhou like Shi Xi, and why did her cousin stand on Shi Xi’s side?!
No one had ever cared about her.
“I didn’t cause trouble.” Nan Wan calmed down and said, “Shi Xi stole my ring. As long as I search her body, we’ll know if what I said is true.”
As long as she found her ring on Shi Xi’s body, she would be able to prove that what she said was true.
She would definitely destroy Shi Xi’s reputation in Yanjing, andshe would never be able to raise her head!
“You want to search her just like that?” Hua Xuanhe’s eyes were cold as he suppressed his anger and said, “What evidence do you have to prove that Shi Xi stole your ring?”
Nan Wan bit her lip.
She couldn’t possibly say that she had personally put the ring into Shi Xi’s bag, right?
“Just now, I only talked to Shi Xi, then went to the washroom and also met Shi Xi,” Nan Wan said. “After that, my ring disappeared! If she didn’t steal it, who else could have stolen it?!”
“Just now, you also talked to me.” Xie Yunzhou appeared, and his gaze swept over Hua Xuanhe, adding, “And Hua Xuanhe.”
Shi Xi’s eyes curved. “It seems that the three of us are all suspects!”
“Then why does Miss Nan only think that I stole your things?”
