Feeling the gazes from all directions, Xiang Jin slightly raised her head.
Her face was deathly pale!
Lu Yifan was actually Murong Xiao's fiancée! It turns out that the person she hit and killed was his fiancée!
He must hate himself to death, so he's even less likely to clarify the necklace matter. It seems that this time, she's doomed.
Xiang Jin felt ice-cold all over, despair began to engulf her, and she felt a piercing pain in her heart.
Just then, Murong Xiao, who was sitting above, spoke up: "I don't know anything about your sister's affairs, but she didn't steal your necklace, so you can't hurt her."
The last sentence was spoken with a threatening tone.
Everyone present was stunned, and they all turned to look at Xiang Jin again!
Xiang Jin looked at Murong Xiao in disbelief.
"Brother Xiao, what do you mean by this? She clearly stole the necklace, why are you still defending her?" Lu Yixuan asked, puzzled and dissatisfied.
"What, are you questioning me?" His expression darkened slightly.
Lu Yixuan panicked: "No, no, that's not what I meant, Brother Xiao, please don't misunderstand, it's just because..."
“She definitely didn’t steal the necklace, I can testify to that. She gave me that gray bag, and the necklace wasn’t inside,” Murong Xiao added.
Lu Yixuan was shocked.
"You gave her the bag? Brother Xiao, do you know her?" Lu Yixuan looked at Xiang Jin warily.
"You'd better not meddle in my affairs. In short, you should contact the courier company, not her, about the lost necklace. If you continue to make things difficult for her or cause her trouble, you can try..." His expression grew increasingly grim, and his tone became increasingly somber.
Lu Yixuan was frightened.
She knew that this was how he was when he was angry, and no one in the Murong family dared to anger him because the consequences would be severe.
She was a little scared and knew how to be pragmatic, so she quickly forced a smile and said, "I'll listen to Brother Xiao. If Brother Xiao doesn't want me to make things difficult for her, then I won't make things difficult for her. Brother Xiao, please don't be angry."
She pursed her lips, looking aggrieved.
"Um."
Lu Yixuan stood still.
Murong Xiao raised his head: "Aren't you leaving?"
"Huh?" Lu Yixuan looked at Mrs. Lu and quickly took her hand. "Let's go."
Halfway there, Lu Yixuan turned back reluctantly, and when her gaze swept over Xiang Jin, it turned resentful again.
The warehouse immediately fell silent.
Murong Xiao remained seated, and Xiang Jin did not step forward.
After a while, she took a deep breath and wrote on the blackboard: "Thank you."
He... really came to help her. Even after learning that she had killed his fiancée in a car accident, he was still willing to help her.
This shocked and puzzled her greatly.
"You're welcome. Come pick up the bags at Fengrong tomorrow. I have something to do, so I'll be going now." He stood up briskly and left the warehouse quickly.
The assistant handed Xiang Jin a red box and then turned and left.
Xiang Jin was stunned for a moment, then opened the box, inside was the necklace that Lu Yixuan had lost!
……………………
Inside the car, Murong Xiao's expression darkened slightly.
I always see her with her head down, quiet and pitiful, as if she were being stubbornly defiant.
This made the heaviness in his heart even harder to suppress.
"Is Young Master in a bad mood?" Su Ming asked. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be. He reported it immediately after receiving his wife's text message and rushed over as quickly as possible. His wife shouldn't have suffered any grievances.
“Xiang Jin…” Feng Jianian narrowed his eyes and sneered, “Go and investigate this person.”
Su Ming was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized something: "Isn't this the murderer who killed Miss Lu Yifan? Why is Young Master investigating her?"
Murong Xiao remained silent.
He had no feelings for Lu Yifan. Although it was only a matter of time before he married her, given the relationship between their families, she was not yet his fiancée when she died.
Therefore, it is invalid.
Therefore, he would not hold a grudge against Lu Yifan for her death, and he didn't even care.
but--
Xiangjin, Xiangqi.
These two similar names, identical faces, one killed someone, the other was mute... He had to figure out what the connection was.
To plot against Murong Xiao like this shows they have extraordinary audacity.
"Check it out, I need to see all the information as soon as possible."
"Yes," Su Ming replied quickly.
……………………
"Young Master, we've found it."
Su Ming pushed open the door to the president's office, took a stack of documents, and walked up to Murong Xiao.
"The Xiang family has some nerve, daring to pass off an inferior woman as a superior one, letting an adopted daughter replace Miss Xiang Qi in marriage." Su Ming was somewhat angry.
Murong Xiao scoffed.
"There's nothing wrong with an adopted daughter marrying a poor man."
To Su Ming's astonishment, he opened the documents and began reading them page by page.
Adopted as a child, imprisoned during college, and then forced into marriage in her place... These strange and novel words made him even more curious about her.
While I was curious, I also felt a pang of sympathy.
She must be such a strong person to be able to live optimistically and happily after going through all these things, and even feel that marrying Feng Jianian is already a great happiness.
Murong Xiao closed the file.
What appeared before his eyes were those cunning and lively fox eyes, and the way she looked at him.
What's wrong with him?
After learning that he had been deceived and kept in the dark, he was not angry at all. Instead, he began to feel sorry for her and heartache for her. He wanted to see her even more strongly. Why was that?
Could it be that he has really fallen in love with her?
Could he possibly have feelings?
"I'm going to find the Xiang family right now and make them give me an explanation!" Seeing the BOSS's expression sometimes solemn and sometimes thoughtful, Su Ming's anger intensified, and he turned and walked out.
No rush.
"Don't make this public yet, and especially don't let Madam know." Murong Xiao tossed the documents into the drawer, his expression indifferent.
"Young Master, what's going on?" Su Ming asked, puzzled.
"Do as I say. If you reveal a single word to her, you'll see." His eyes flashed coldly, a clear threat.
Su Ming was stunned.
Is this still the Murong Xiao he knows? Is this still the same Lord Xiao who cannot tolerate deception, cannot accept lies, and is known for his ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness?
The wife of the dignified boss of Fengrong Group was switched at birth, and the other woman even killed his fiancée in a car accident. And he actually wants to protect the person who switched her at birth?!
That's incredible.
However, this also shows that Xiang Jin's position in his heart has changed...
……………………
The next morning, Xiang Jin arrived at the Fengrong Group headquarters as promised.
There are two objectives this time: first, to retrieve the bag; second, to find out about the necklace.
Standing downstairs at the Fengrong Building, she still felt extremely dazzling, so dazzling that she couldn't open her eyes.
"Xiang Jin, go find Master Xiao. I'll wait for you downstairs." Yu Xingfa insisted on driving her there when he heard she was coming to see Murong Xiao, which made Xiang Jin very uncomfortable.
