Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Wen Meiling Acts in a Play Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Wen Meiling Acts in a Play Chapter 42 Wen Meiling’s Drama
Mengyu looked toward the source of the noise and saw Wen Meiling.
Wasn’t she supposed to not have boarded the vehicle? How come she still ended up at the market?
Little did she know, Wen Meiling always had her husband arrange a separate car for her instead of taking the logistics vehicle.
Wen Meiling was ecstatic, today’s trip to the market was spot on; she actually witnessed Gu Dongxing’s fiancee being caught stealing.
Once she got back, she would definitely publicize this extensively, ensuring Mengyu couldn’t stay in the compound!
Wen Meiling said to the man with the goat beard: “Old man, she’s just a country bumpkin from the countryside, it’s not surprising that she’s up to no good. What did you lose? It must have been her who stole it.”
Her intention was to back up goat beard, but he glared at her instead.
Not only did goat beard glare at her, but even the surrounding onlookers did too.
Fuming with anger, Wen Meiling thought: I’m clearly speaking up for you, yet you have the nerve to glare at me.
However, since goat beard and Jiang Mengyu were currently confronting each other, and the enemy of her enemy is a friend, she refrained from saying anything more.
Jiang Mengyu smirked internally, standing in front of a crowd of country folks calling them country bumpkins, wasn’t she just asking to be detested?
She ignored Wen Meiling altogether and addressed the man with the goat beard: “Sir, whatever you say, you don’t have any evidence to prove that I took your vase, do you?”
“Evidence?” goat beard rolled his eyes: “The evidence is in your bundle. Do you dare let me search your bundle?”
He had seen with his own eyes her putting the vase wrapped in newspaper into her bag!
The crowd also persuaded Jiang Mengyu:
“Young lady, just open your bundle and let him search it.”
“Yes, to prove your innocence, let him search.”
“It’s just a bundle, open it up and let him have a look, young lady.”
“That’s right, otherwise, at such a young age, it would be bad to have a reputation as a thief.”
Jiang Mengyu shook her head: “No, you’re not Public Security; you have no right to search me.”
She looked up at the eager spectators: “Could someone kindly help out and call over the Public Security officers from the station?”
Goat beard panicked when he heard Jiang Mengyu call for Public Security.
He was there to extort Jiang Mengyu; if Public Security got involved, how could he benefit?
“Young lady, I’m kindly having a word with you, if you just return my vase, I won’t make a fuss about this, and here you are wanting to bother Public Security. Aren’t they busy with better things?”
The onlooking crowd also tried to dissuade Jiang Mengyu:
“Yeah, young lady. Don’t call for Public Security.”
“That’s right, don’t we village folks handle our own issues?”
“Indeed, young lady, if you’re taken to the station, they’ll keep a record on you, that’d be bad.”
“Yeah, exactly, if you took his stuff, just return it, if not, just clear it up with him, no need to call for Public Security.”
Wen Meiling was not stupid, sensing something off about goat beard’s words.
Logically, if Jiang Mengyu had really stolen something, she wouldn’t call for Public Security.
Her insistence on calling Public Security indicated that she was indeed wronged and wanted the officers to vindicate her.
Furthermore, judging by goat beard’s behavior, it seemed likely he was trying to extort her.
It was very possible that Jiang Mengyu acquired a valuable antique vase at the market, which goat beard noticed and now wanted to scam her out of by claiming she stole his vase.
Does that mean there really is an antique vase in her bundle?
