Shi Qingyue was stunned. Lù Yue’an was stunned. And so was Lu Chuan.
This matter was getting interesting.
The necklace had been auctioned off in an underground auction house, but the family did not even know about it. Then, they even grabbed at someone else’s necklace and refused to let go, saying that it was theirs.
They’ ve really embarrassed themselves badly there.
“Speaking of which, since you made a mistake, why aren’t you apologizing to Ningning?”
Zhao Yi held his wine glass and said so coolly.
Zhao Junli looked at the situation in front of her and immediately came out to smooth things over. She walked over with a smile.
“Oh my, Ningnings here too, Auntie here didn’t even see you. Look at this commotion. I know Ning’ning, she’s the most considerate girl. She doesn’t concern herself over such things, right, Ningning?”
Lu Ning smiled and looked over. “Auntie, I’m actually quite concerned. Can’t a girl care about her own reputation?”
Zhao Junli choked. “Erm, that’s not what Auntie meant…”
Lu Ning immediately turned around. “Since that’s not what she meant, apologize. ”
Lù Yue’an was the first to come to grips with the situation. However, she gritted her teeth and refused to apologize to Lu Ning again. Even if I have to put up an act, I won’t do it!
Lù Chuan took a deep breath and looked over. “Ningning, I’m sorry. It’s Dadit’s Uncle’s fault this time… I shouldn’t have said it was you without investigating this matter. I’m really sorry.”
Lu Ning only glanced at him indifferently, then looked at Shi Qingyue. “Mrs. Jab, what about you? This matter seems to have started because of you.”
Her expression and tone were indifferent and distant.
Shi Qingyue turned to look at her.
She would never have thought that the one on Lu Nings neck was another one; and to think that it was the one which had added value!
However, at this moment, everyone was looking at her. She could not really do nothing. Won’t my reputation in these circles be ruined in the future?
“I’m sorry, Ningning.”
She took a deep breath and softened her voice as she looked at Lu Ning.
Lu Ning smiled and finally looked at Lù Yue’an. She swirled the glass in her hand and said with a smile, “Sister An’an, why aren’t you saying anything? Weren’t you so eloquent just now? Why? Has the Lù family’s upbringing become so sloppy?
Her words were full of ridicule.
Lù Yue’an gritted her teeth, looked at Lu Ning, and bowed deeply. “I’m sorry,
Sister Ning. I was being impulsive just now. I’m sorry.”
Lu Ning smiled and raised her hand slightly. “It’s fine as long as you admit your mistakes. I’ve received your apologies. You’ve seen what happened, so do you officers still want to detain me for investigation?”
“That won’t be necessary.”
Lu Ning smiled and placed the glass in her hand on the table. Then, she stood up.
She looked like an elegant young lady from a wealthy family.
Everyone looked at her and could not find any fault.
“It seems that my appearance has ruined Lin Yi’s birthday party. 1 shall take my leave first.”
She smiled and looked at everyone politely before waving at Lin Ci.
Then, she took the necklace and slowly put it around her neck.
She and Lin Ci left hand in hand.
Gu Cheng also packed his things and prepared to leave.
After packing up everything, Gu Cheng stood in front of Shi Qingyue and Lù Chuan and smiled before saying, “Mr. I-RI, Mrs. lab, why don’t you check Miss Lù Yue’an’s account? There appears that there were four transfers of funds from unknovvn origins.”
The connotations of what he said were too clear. Isn’t he obviously implying that Lù Yue’an might have sold that necklace?
“Oh, that’s right.. I’ve already collected evidence regarding today’s incident…”
