Under the watchful eyes of several people, You Lian hurriedly went into the restroom.

Seeing Chu Ran hooking his arm around Mu Tiantian, Jiang Ye stepped forward and pulled Mu Tiantian into his arms.

Chu Ran lost her footing and almost fell. Mu Chen quickly caught her, and Chu Ran fell into Mu Chen's arms. The two looked at each other for a moment, and then looked away.

Mu Tiantian chuckled to herself and quietly pulled Jiang Ye away.

"Jiang..." By the time Chu Ran realized what was happening and wanted to scold Jiang Ye, the two of them had already slipped away.

Mu Chen's heart stirred when he saw Chu Ran's flushed cheeks.

Seeing that she was still in his arms, Chu Ran quickly stood up straight. "Thank you... thank you, Brother Chen. I... I'll go back now."

Watching Chu Ran flee in panic, Mu Chen's heart pounded.

"You savage, you almost made me fall just now." Chu Ran looked at Jiang Ye with a mixture of shame and anger.

Jiang Ye put his arm around Mu Tiantian and leaned on her shoulder with a smug smile, "I'm creating an opportunity for you and Brother Chen, isn't that great?"

Actually, he just couldn't stand her constantly clinging to Tian Tian.

Chu Ran was unconvinced and sat down next to Mu Tiantian, hugging her arm. "You're so clingy, be careful Tiantian will find you annoying and leave you in the future."

Jiang Ye's expression stiffened, and he didn't say anything, but he tightened his grip on Mu Tiantian's arm.

If Chu Ran had said this two years ago, before Mu Tiantian left, Jiang Ye would definitely have replied, "Tiantian wouldn't, she just likes me clinging to her."

However, he is now quite sensitive to this statement.

Chu Ran realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly got up. "Tian Tian, ​​I'll go and tidy up those gifts first, so I can take them back later."

After Chu Ran left, Mu Tiantian realized that Jiang Ye was not right. She turned her head and kissed him on the lips, saying softly, "I will never find you annoying, and I will never leave you, not in this lifetime."

"Mmm..." Jiang Ye hugged Mu Tiantian tightly and murmured, "You said it."

Chu Hao, who was singing, noticed the two people being intimate in the corner. He felt a pang of bitterness in his heart and then sang louder.

The sound was deafening.

While tidying up the gifts, Chu Ran discovered that the cat's eye gem Mu Chen had given her was missing. She cried out in alarm, "Who touched my gift?!"

Chu Hao's singing drowned out Chu Ran's shouts.

Chu Ran went up and unplugged the stereo, then turned on the main lights, making the dimly lit hall bright.

"Ranran, your brother is really enjoying his singing." Chu Hao pouted, somewhat dissatisfied. He was already feeling down and wanted to sing to vent.

"Stop singing, I've lost all my jewels."

Upon hearing this, Chu Hao immediately became serious. He couldn't forgive someone for stealing his sister's things!

Just then, You Lian returned and asked Chu Ran with concern, "Ranran, what's wrong?"

"My gem is gone," Chu Ran said anxiously.

You Lian suggested, "How about this, let everyone check if it's in the bag?"

The girls had no objections to this, as it was all to help Chu Ran find the gems, and they all cooperated by bringing their backpacks over to show Chu Ran.

Mu Tiantian was among them.

You Lian was no exception, a smile playing on her lips.

However, You Lian, who was originally confident, immediately lost her smile and her eyes widened in shock when she saw the sparkling gems in the bag.

What's going on?

She clearly put it in Mu Tiantian's bag, how could it possibly be in her bag?

Just as Mu Tiantian was about to rummage through her bag in front of Chu Ran, Chu Ran closed it for her. "Even if Jiang Ye plucked the moon from the sky for you, would you still be interested in this gem? Even if you wanted it, Jiang Ye could give you all the gems in the world."

Moreover, Mu Chen dotes on his younger sister, and Chu Hao adores her.

Not to mention them, Chu Ran would buy anything Mu Tiantian wanted.

Jiang Ye nodded affirmatively from the side, "That's true."

This was one of the few times they agreed on something.

Mu Chen and Chu Hao nodded in agreement.

Jiang Ye then asked Mu Tiantian earnestly, "Tiantian, do you want the moon in the sky? I'll pluck it for you."

"You? I reckon you'd die of oxygen deprivation before you even get to the moon," Chu Ran said, not forgetting to crack a joke.

"...It's your birthday today, I won't hold it against you." Jiang Ye acted very magnanimously.

To put it bluntly, this is the unconditional trust that the four of them place in Mu Tiantian.

Mu Tiantian was deeply moved, and then whispered the truth about the gemstone to Chu Ran.

By this time, everyone had finished looking at the bags, and Mu Tiantian finally opened her bag to show everyone.

All that's left is You Lian.

You Lian squatted down and then stood up again, walked to Chu Ran, and handed her the cat's eye gem. "Ranran, I found it. It fell by the sofa. It probably fell off accidentally when I put it down."

Did you drop it by accident?

Unless the cat's eye gem grows legs, it won't fall out accidentally.

"Whether it was dropped accidentally or not, we can find out by checking the security footage," Jiang Ye said. "I just upgraded the security cameras here to high definition a couple of days ago, so even in complete darkness, we can still see who touched your gem."

You Lian was surprised. She remembered that the security cameras in the bar were faulty and couldn't clearly see people's faces, which was why she did this.

But she saw that the security camera footage was clearly the same as before.

"That's convenient. We can just check the security footage to see who took it."

"Yeah, hurry up and find this person, call the police and send him to the station. I haven't had enough fun yet."

The whispers of others made You Lian nervous.

Jiang Ye said, "The camera I replaced is an upgraded version of the previous one, so it looks exactly the same."

You Lian looked up and saw Jiang Ye staring coldly at her.

He was clearly talking to her.

"If the person who took the gem is willing to admit it to me now, I can let it go. But if she doesn't admit it, I'll hand over the surveillance footage to the police station, and her life will be over." Chu Ran said this simply out of consideration for his past relationship with You Lian, giving her one last chance.

However, looking at all the people in the hall, You Lian simply couldn't bring herself to say it.

She was still hesitating.

“I just saw You Lian take the gem out of her bag and then pretend to pick it up.”

At this moment, someone in the crowd spoke up.

"It wasn't me! The gem was clearly in Mu Tiantian's bag!" You Lian hurriedly denied, accusing Mu Tiantian, then quickly added, "Mu Tiantian must be trying to frame me!"

“Framing you? I don’t have the time for that, but…” Mu Tiantian said, “I saw you take Ranran’s gem and put it in my bag, so I’m just returning your little tricks.”

Chu Ran also recalled the scene of seeing You Lian tidying up these bags before, and said, "I remember you were hanging around in front of these bags before, saying that everyone's bags had fallen and you were helping to pick them up. Actually, you were putting gems into Tian Tian's bag, right?"

Chu Ran's question startled You Lian. "I didn't..."
