Luo Mengmeng chuckled dryly twice, not daring to respond.
"All right, your backpack..." had no problem.
Just as the homeroom teacher was about to set down her backpack, a platinum diamond bracelet fell into the pile of snacks on the table with a "bang".
Someone shouted first, and instantly, the entire class’s gaze fell on Luo Mengmeng’s face.
Luo Mengmeng looked even more bewildered.
Who could tell her why Belle’s bracelet ended up in her backpack?
She had never touched her bracelet!
Seeing her expression, Gu Zhihan immediately understood that his little girl had been framed.
He took another look at the bracelet that had been found.
The bracelet used to frame her was such a poor quality...
When Luo Mengmeng was discovered to be the thief, the whole class fell into a weird silence.
But soon, a fierce uproar erupted—
"Damn, the thief turned out to be Luo Mengmeng!"
"Really didn’t see that coming. She seems so quiet usually, yet her character is so poor."
"This just proves the old saying, appearances are deceiving!"
"I had thought about who might be the thief, but I never expected it to be Luo Mengmeng."
The homeroom teacher hadn’t expected it to be her either, and now he was both shocked and disappointed, "Luo Mengmeng, how could you steal a classmate’s belongings? You’ve really disappointed me!"
"I didn’t..." Luo Mengmeng finally snapped out of her shock and quickly shook her head in denial.
Seeing her not admitting, the homeroom teacher looked even more disappointed, "The evidence is conclusive, yet you still won’t admit it?"
"But I really didn’t steal!" Luo Mengmeng shouted again, perhaps out of a woman’s intuition; she stared fixedly at Belle, "Someone must be framing me."
Belle couldn’t help but sigh and shake her head, "Luo Mengmeng, at this point, you’d better stop explaining. I remember you once told me how much you liked my bracelet. I didn’t think much about it then, but how could you steal my stuff? If you had liked it, you could have just told me and I would have given it to you!"
"Who cares!" Luo Mengmeng listened to her baseless accusation, nearly exploding with rage.
Having lived for so long and seen so many nasty people, this was the first time she encountered someone this nasty!
And besides, she already had a beautiful bracelet that Gu Zhihan gave her; how could she possibly fancy this one of mediocre quality and design.
But others didn’t see it that way; they only thought she was furious out of embarrassment.
"Wow, what an attitude."
"If you don’t care, why would you steal it?"
"Everyone, shut up!" At this moment, Gu Zhihan, with a cold face, slammed his hand on the desk, deafening everyone.
It seemed that his voice shocked everyone, and the noisy classroom fell silent, leaving only Gu Zhihan’s cold but certain voice echoing.
"Luo Mengmeng would not steal."
As his words fell, it was as if a spark had ignited a keg of gunpowder, and the class exploded again, staring at him.
"Just because you say she didn’t?"
"Do you have any proof?"
"What if I do?" Gu Zhihan said calmly, as if he already held the winning ticket. He stood up from his seat and reached out to Luo Mengmeng, "Give me your hand for a moment."
"Huh?" Although Luo Mengmeng didn’t understand what he wanted to do, she instinctively handed her small hand to him.
