Chapter 274: Your Little Sister Is a Thief
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Her voice was very loud, completely drowning out Wu Tian’s voice.
On the surface, she seemed to be very protective of Lu Ning. In order to prevent Lu Ning from being labled a thief, she magnanimously rejected the bracelet.
However, she did not mention anything of the sort before the search; she did not say anything in the beginning, and only waited until the bracelet was found and Lu Ning was basically convicted of the crime before speaking up.
This situation was a little subtle.
When some people saw her anxious look, they really believed that she was a kind person.
At this moment, no one would think things through logically.
Lù Yue’an’s behavior had created a whole mess for the students of Class 9; now, anything they say meant nothing.
Even if they believed that Lu Ning was innocent, they really dug out the bracelet from Lu Ning’s bag.
The surveillance footage was gone, so Lu Ning was having a hard time arguing.
“That’s enough!”
The discipline master stood up with the bracelet in her hand and looked in Lu Ning’s direction.
When the students of Class 9 saw the discipline master’s expression, they could only silently turn their bodies to make way for her to see Lu Ning.
Lu Ning was still sitting there, calm and unflustered.
“Lu Ning! Tell me! Did you take Lù Yue’an’s bracelet or not?!”
She even waved the bracelet in her hand at Lu Ning, wanting her to admit her crime.
She even reminded her, “This was found in your bag.”
Lu Ning’s eyes were clear. When she looked at her, she was neither servile nor overbearing. “I didn’t take it.”
Although her tone was casual, it was firm.
The students of Class 9 trusted her completely, and they also trusted her when she said this.
However, the situation was very tricky since the bracelet was found in her bag.
The discipline master suddenly laughed. She felt that she was really a little unreasonable and headstrong.
“You didn’t take it?! If you didn’t, then how did you get this bracelet into your bag?! Explain to everyone!”
Her voice was chilly as she pointed at Lu Ning.
Everyone looked at her, but Lu Ning did not say anything. Lin Ci yawned and laughed. “Maybe we can ask its owner. If she’s willing to tell the truth, this matter should be resolved.”
This time, Shi Qingyue finally could not take it anymore. She took two big steps forward and looked at Lu Ning from the edge of the crowd. Her face was contorted with anger. “Lu Ning! An’an is so protective of you, so how dare you let your friend drag her into this! Have you thrown away all the etiquette, honor, and shame your grandfather has taught you all these years?!”
Lù Yue’an hurriedly pulled Shi Qingyue back. “Mom, Mommy, stop. Sister Ning might just be confused for a moment! Stop talking, please. Don’t be angry, you’ll hurt your health.”
Lu Ning watched the mother-daughter relationship between them. Once upon a time, she had also fantasized about Shi Qingyue saying these words to others when she was framed, criticizing others instead of saying to her, “After doing such a thing, you’re really a disgrace to the Lù family!”
She did not defend her like she had defended Lù Yue’an. Instead, she stood on the side of the perpetrator and criticized her on their behalf.
Lu Ning only found it ironic now.
Her gaze was icy.
No one at the back of the crowd noticed that Shen Guang had just joined them.
Finally, as if he could not take it anymore, Lu Qing finally looked at Shi Qingyue and said, “Her grandpa taught her? Why her grandpa, when it’s supposed to be the parent’s responsibility?”
Shi Qingyue instantly turned around and glared at him. “Stop spouting nonsense.. Your sister is a thief! Are you still on her side?!”
