Rong Yan, unable to bear it any longer, stretched out her hand and yanked the man blocking her path out of the way. She strode quickly to Rong Weiwei, who was hiding behind him.
Rong Weiwei was startled and saw the darkness in her sister’s eyes, instinctively stepping back, masking her resentment as she bit her lip and softly called out, “Sister…”
“Rong Yan, what are you doing!” Shi Mufeng was suddenly pushed away, his face full of anger as he scolded the drenched person.
Rong Yan didn’t even bother with him. Right in front of Rong Weiwei, she extended her left hand, palm open. A glittering diamond bracelet appeared, and she stared intently at Rong Weiwei’s reaction as she asked in a deep voice,
“Tell me, why was this bracelet by the lakeside?”
Rong Weiwei’s face changed for a moment when she saw the diamond bracelet, but she adjusted quickly, steadying her breath and immediately denied, “The bracelet was by the lake?”
She turned the accusation around, directing it at Rong Yan, “I have no idea what you’re talking about. I went to the restroom to touch up my makeup and when I came back, I noticed it was gone. I thought I lost it in the restroom. How did it end up with you, sister?”
In fact, she was clearer than anyone why the bracelet that had been on her wrist was missing.
She had entered the venue with Mufeng, and her agent had called her several times. The constant calls had frustrated her. She seized the moment before dinner began to tell Mufeng she needed to visit the restroom to touch up her makeup and took the opportunity to leave.
On her way to the restroom, she was discussing with her agent how to deal with the negative press about her online, and on the other line, they were planning their counterattack, involving quite a few private matters.
Little did she know she would find herself being followed by a child, who even had the audacity to record her phone conversation on his phone.
In a moment of desperation, she demanded the child hand over the phone. But that annoying little brat took off running, and she had no choice but to chase after him. Normally, an adult catching a five-year-old child would be an easy task, but that kid was too shifty, dodging her several times and nearly getting away.
She chased him to the lakeside, where she barely caught up with him. Yet, the rotten child stubbornly refused to hand over the phone, and with people approaching, and the kid looking like he was going to call out for help, she panic-strickenly stopped the child from running and, as if possessed, pushed him into the lake…
Upon hearing the splash, she hurried back to the banquet.
She surmised that the bracelet must have been pulled off by that loathsome youngster during that time!
Rong Weiwei clenched her teeth in secret, shocked that the bracelet ended up with Rong Yan, while also resolving in her heart to insist that she had ‘lost’ the bracelet by accident.
After all, considering the time the annoying child fell into the water, he was most likely already drowned.
Now it was a case of no witness, no proof.
Even if Rong Yan coincidentally found her bracelet, what of it?
As long as she didn’t admit to it, Rong Yan had no way to deal with her!
Rong Weiwei gradually calmed down, her expression growing more relaxed. She picked up the bracelet from Rong Yan’s palm, and even managed a small smile as she falsely thanked Rong Yan, “This is my bracelet… Sister, did you help me find it? Thank you. I just misunderstood you—I thought you were trying to… Anyway, thank you for finding my bracelet. It’s very important to me, and I would have been very upset if it had been lost..”
