Chapter 91: Chapter 91

Qiao Xi raised her brows. “I think you’re right.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Meng Wan’s heart jumped. She did not know what Qiao Xi was up to.

After being stunned for a moment, Wang Nuo felt that Qiao Xi might have gone mad. “Call the police? Are you crazy? Do you know how many years you’ll be in jail for vandalizing personal property that’s worth 800 million? Wan Wan was kind enough to let you off, but you’re actually rushing to court death? Alright, you want to call the police, right? I’ll fulfill your wishes!”

“Nuo Nuo!” Meng Wan subconsciously stopped her. No, they could not call the police. She had forcefully stuffed the knife into Qiao Xi’s hands. If the police found out the truth, she would be doomed.

As soon as Meng Wan finished speaking, she realized that her tone was too agitated and would easily arouse the suspicion of others. She quickly calmed down and said softly, “Qiao Xi, we’re doing this for your own good. Once the police are called, this crime will be on your shoulders for the rest of your life. Don’t waste your life away because of a moment of anger.”

“It’s alright. My life isn’t too valuable either. It can’t compare to your 800 million yuan dress.” Qiao Xi waved her hand casually. “I think it’s better to call the police. After all, I had malicious intent and ruined your 800 million yuan dress. If you don’t call the police, I’ll feel guilty and uneasy.”

Meng Wan gritted her teeth. “It’s alright, it’s really alright.”

Qiao Xi suddenly chuckled. “Miss Meng, you seem to be stopping me from calling the police? Why? Calling the police is beneficial to you, right? If you can bring me, a sinner, to justice, why wouldn’t you want to? Our relationship isn’t that good that you would forgo a dress worth 800 million to protect my life, right?

“Could it be that… you’re afraid the police will find out the truth?”

Meng Wan’s expression froze instantly.

Everyone was also puzzled. Why didn’t she want to call the police? At first, they thought that Meng Wan and Qiao Xi were close and Meng Wan was kind-hearted. However, Qiao Xi, the person involved, had already agreed to call the police, yet Meng Wan was stopping her…

Wang Nuo did not like Qiao Xi and retorted, “Wan Wan, what are you afraid of? This sl*t is courting death. She wants to call the police, right? Then call the police and have her go to jail!”

Meng Wan felt her teeth chatter. “No, no need…”

“Since you don’t want to call the police, I’ll do it myself.” Qiao Xi took out her phone and casually tapped on the screen twice. “Hello, is this the police station? I ruined the Meng family’s 800 million yuan dress. Please come over—”

“No, no!”

Meng Wan’s hand reacted faster than her mind. She suddenly pounced over and snatched Qiao Xi’s phone away, only to realize that the phone screen was still locked. Qiao Xi had not called the police at all!

Meng Wan broke out in a cold sweat. She realized that her actions just now were a little too extreme and could easily arouse the suspicion of others. Indeed, the people around her looked at her strangely, and there were even some people whispering.

“Why isn’t Miss Meng willing to call the police? That’s strange. She’s clearly the victim. What is she afraid of?”

“Furthermore, the item that was damaged is ‘Time Flows’. It’s said that Miss Meng cherishes ‘Time Flows’ the most. Now that the dress has been ruined, she should be extremely sad and want to punish the person who ruined it.”

“Can’t you guys tell? It’s not that Miss Meng doesn’t want to call the police but she doesn’t dare to… When Qiao Xi mentioned calling the police, Miss Meng’s entire body trembled as if she was afraid of something.”

“No, that’s not it,” Meng Wan muttered, denying what everyone else was saying.

“Why don’t you let me guess the reason why you dare to call the police…” Qiao Xi tilted her head and smiled as she looked at Meng Wan’s nervous expression. “It’s because the person who tore the dress was you, Miss Meng.”

The banquet hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone wondered if they had heard wrongly. What did Qiao Xi say…? The person who tore the dress was Miss Meng? How was this possible?!

Wang Nuo was the first to stand up and retort. “Impossible! Qiao Xi, are you crazy? The Meng family spent so much money to buy ‘Time Flows’. They destroyed it just because they wanted to frame you? Do you think you’re worthy of that?

“Anyone with a brain would know that one is the Qiao family’s eldest daughter from the countryside, while the other is the high and mighty eldest daughter of the Meng family. If Meng Wan doesn’t like you and wants to do something to you, she would have a hundred ways to do so. She doesn’t need to ruin the dress she bought at a high price to malign you!

“Qiao Xi, even if you want to push the blame to Meng Wan, you have to find a better reason. No, with your brain, you probably can’t think of any logical reason either, right? Haha.”

Wang Nuo laughed wildly. “You, a country bumpkin, probably don’t know that there are surveillance cameras everywhere in Mingfeng Hotel. As long as someone checks, they’ll know that you’re the one framing Meng Wan. Just wait, I’ll get someone to check the surveillance cameras right now!”
