She had not taken any of Jiang Haoxuanâs belongings. How could the male Patek Philippe watch be in her bag?
Lin Feiâerâs big, black and round eyes sank. She looked at the complacent Sheng Anâning and there was a trace of displeasure on her bright face.
âI donât know why this watch was in my bag, but I didnât steal Mr. Jiangâs watch.â
Sheng Anâning sneered sarcastically as she glared at Lin Feiâer haughtily.
âHuh, you have the courage to steal but you dare not admit it when youâre caught?â
Lin Feiâer pursed her lips and was trying to explain. Suddenly, Su Wan stood in front of her and stopped her.
Although Su Wan didnât know why Jiang Haoxuanâs watch was in Lin Feiâerâs bag, she believed after years of friendship, Lin Feiâer was not a person who would steal.
This matter was likely to be a misunderstanding, or it was Sheng Anâningâs means of framing Lin Feiâer.
Su Wan walked up to Lin Feiâer. She frowned slightly and met Sheng Anâningâs aggressive eyes.
âMiss Sheng, things have not been investigated yet. How can you conclude a person is a thief just like this?â
âThe evidence is clear. The watch is in Lin Feiâerâs bag and you say things have not been investigated? Itâs ridiculous!â
Hearing Su Wanâs words, Sheng Anâning sneered.
âSis-in-Law, do you mean that this watch has wings of its own and can fly into her bag? Or do you mean we put the watch in her bag in order to frame her? â
âItâs not impossible.â
Jiang Xuecheng, who was standing beside Su Wan silently, spoke in a cold and calm voice without any ripples as he held Su Wanâs hand.
Sheng Anâning was shocked when she heard Jiang Xuecheng defending Su Wan and her friend. Sheng Anâning seemed to have been struck by the lightning and was unable to recover.
She bit her pink lips and when she saw the loving gesture of hand-holding between Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan, her heart was filled with resentment.
On what basis could they be so loving?
Very quickly, there were tears in her beautiful eyes. She looked at Jiang Xuecheng in disbelief with her eyes full of tears.
âBrother Xuecheng, things are so clear. Do you still want to defend them? What kind of disreputable friend has Sis-in-Law made? The amount of theft has reached millions. She has to go to jail!â
That was right, no matter how the watch got into Lin Feiâerâs bag, she wanted to make things big and make Su Wan unhappy!
Upon hearing this, Lin Feiâer was angry from the bottom of her heart. She suppressed the displeasure in her heart and questioned Sheng Anâning coldly, âWho are you calling disreputable?!â
Sheng Anâning looked at Lin Feiâer and snorted scornfully.
âDonât you dare not admit after youâve stolen something! That Patek Philippe watch was my birthday gift to Haoxuan! I didnât expect that you, who canât afford luxurious goods, would have a good eye for luxurious goods. Your boldness in stealing arose because you took fancy to its value, right?â
As they were arguing, a rebuke suddenly broke out.
âAnâning, thatâs enough! Stop it!â
Jiang Haoxuan had been standing quietly behind Sheng Anâning. However, as soon as he spoke, he woke up all the people in the breakfast area.
Everyoneâs eyes shifted toward Jiang Haoxuan. Jiang Haoxuanâs handsome face was expressionless but his eyes were staring at Lin Feiâer, as if he was recalling something.
Lin Feiâer was shocked. She didnât know whether Jiang Haoxuanâs current expression was because of the watch or because of what had happened last night.
Lin Feiâer looked at Jiang Haoxuan. Her tone was like the wind in the early winter, so cold that it made people feel painful.
âMaster Jiang, Iâll explain again. I, Lin Feiâer, am frank and forthright. I did not take your things. I donât know how the watch got into my bag. You can investigate this if you want.â
Jiang Haoxuan looked at Lin Feiâerâs angry expression and a thought flashed though his eyes.
In fact, he was very confused now and he was not in the mood to bother about the Patek Philippe watch.
The most important thing was, was the one with him last night Lin Feiâer?
Jiang Haoxuan has only seen Lin Feiâer several times and his impression of her was that she was Su Wanâs good friend.
Looking closely at her today, she was a typical northern beauty with short hair.
Lin Feiâer had bright facial features and was more than 1.6 meters tall. She was not the same kind of woman as Sheng Anâning, who looked like a timid and lovable little woman.
Jiang Haoxuanâs hand clenched up slightly. He had mixed feelings in his heart and it was very unpleasant.
If it was really Lin Feiâer, how could he have mistaken her for Sheng Anâning?
He vaguely remembered that in his dream last night, the woman in his embrace had short hair.
At that time, he was still wondering when Anâning had her hair cut short, or whether he had drunk too much and lost his mind...
Facing Lin Feiâerâs gloomy face, Jiang Haoxuan sighed in his heart. He said in a low voice, âMiss Lin, can we go out and talk in private?â
Lin Feiâer looked at Jiang Haoxuan sarcastically and her cold and serious tone did not soften.
âIs there anything you canât talk about here?â
Because he had roughly guessed that he had made a mistake last night, Jiang Haoxuan felt humiliated.
He laughed at himself and with a sincere but threatening voice, he asked, âSo, Miss Lin, do you want to talk at the police station? I drank too much last night...as soon as I woke up, my watch was gone. Now, itâs in Miss Linâs bag...I think itâd be better for us to talk in private. â
Lin Feiâerâs face changed when she heard the words âlast nightâ.
As the person concerned, she certainly understood that Jiang Haoxuan had suddenly paused for a second and mentioned the watch only as an implication. He was actually alluding to another matter.
It was shameless that this man dared to blackmail her!
âLetâs go to the police station then. I donât care.â
Lin Feiâer took a deep breath and her tone became more and more arrogant.
On one side, Sheng Anâning was about to burst into anger when she saw how Lin Feiâer could be so arrogant after stealing. Just when she was about to mock her, Jiang Haoxuan suddenly grabbed her and motioned to her to stop talking.
Su Wan didnât understand why Lin Feiâer was behaving a little strangely today. She pinched her palm so she wouldnât be impulsive.
âFeiâer, I know you have been wronged. Why donât you and Haoxuan talk about it? That watch really isnât a big deal, why go to the police station?â
Lin Feiâer knew that Su Wan didnât know anything. There was a sensation on her nose and her clear voice was a bit hoarse.
âIâll only give you five minutes to say what you want to.â
After saying this sentence, Lin Feiâer quickly walked out of the hotel entrance and Jiang Haoxuan hurriedly followed.
There were only three people left in the breakfast area. Su Wan looked at Jiang Xuecheng, not knowing why Lin Feiâer was acting strangely.
Sheng Anâning was even more confused.
Who had ever seen such an arrogant thief who dared to tell the owner that he would only be given five minutes after being caught on the spot?
