Xiang Jin was slightly taken aback. Why was Lu Yixuan rummaging through the trash?
"I'm sorry, Miss Xiang, it's the Lu family's fault for not disciplining their daughter properly." Lu Xiangrong had his assistant take Lu Yixuan away, while he stayed behind to negotiate with her alone.
"You mean Sister Ding, the one who stole the necklace? I can let her off the hook, but on the condition that Miss Xiang cooperates with us to quell the rumors." That was also the purpose of his visit.
Xiang Jin thought for a moment and nodded: "No problem."
"I also hope that Miss Xiang will not blame Yixuan. She was wronged yesterday and spent four whole hours rummaging through the trash, which is why she is like this."
"Why was she rummaging through the trash?" Xiang Jin asked, puzzled. She had spent a full four hours doing so, much longer than he had.
"This is Master Xiao's request."
Lord Xiao? Murong Xiao?
Xiang Jin paused for a moment, then wrote on the drawing board: "Why did Murong Xiao make Lu Yixuan rummage through the trash?"
Lu Xiangrong looked intently at Xiang Jin.
Not to mention Lu Yixuan, he also wanted to know the answer. Given the relationship between the Lu family and the Murong family, even if the Murong family didn't help, they were always very polite to each other. But yesterday was very unusual, as if they were deliberately targeting them.
Could it be because of Xiang Jin?
But how could that be?
She was just an ordinary mute, doing an ordinary job. Although she was pretty, Murong Xiao had seen all kinds of people, so how could he possibly be interested in her?
Lu Xiangrong really didn't understand.
……………………
The Lu family quickly released a statement.
Lu's Enterprises: "We apologize for the inconvenience caused to everyone by Ms. Lu Yixuan losing her valuable necklace and using inappropriate methods to search for it. We have apologized to her and acknowledged our mistake, which she has sincerely accepted. Thank you for your criticism; we will humbly learn from your experience!"
A video was attached to the statement.
In the video, Xiang Jin is facing away from the camera, and another voice says: "Thank you for your concern. I have accepted Ms. Lu's apology, and Ms. Lu has learned from this experience. Thank you again for your concern."
The fact that a reconciliation was reached is a result that netizens are happy to see.
"The Lu family isn't as bad as we thought; they even know how to apologize."
"Yes, it seems that Lu Yixuan is a bit willful, but she's not a bad person at heart."
"Exactly, as long as she recognizes her mistakes and stops using her sense of superiority to make things difficult for others, I am still willing to forgive her."
………………
Gradually, the online sentiment began to shift again. With the Lu family's private control of public opinion and deliberate manipulation of public discourse, the matter subsided within a few days.
The Lu family also kept their promise and did not pursue Ding Jie's responsibility, which finally put Xiang Jin at ease.
………………
After work that day, the warehouse staff went to visit Xiao Jie.
"Sister Ding, we know you're having a hard time, so we all chipped in a little money. We hope you won't mind." Yu Xingfa handed a card to Sister Ding.
There's 50,000 from Yu Xingfa, 100,000 from Xiang Jin, and 50,000 from the others. Now we have about 200,000. Although it's still not enough for Xiao Jie's surgery, it's a big improvement.
Sister Ding was deeply moved.
"Thank you, thank you..." she said, clutching the card and sobbing uncontrollably.
“If Xiang Jin hadn’t told us, I wouldn’t have known about your situation! Let’s forget about the dismissal. Once Xiao Jie has recovered, you can come back to work,” Yu Xingfa said.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Yu! Thank you so much!" Sister Ding almost knelt down.
"Don't mention it, I'm just glad the child is safe."
Sister Ding looked at Xiao Jie sleeping soundly in the ward and nodded. Yes, as long as the child is well, she is happy with everything!
As Yu Xingfa was leaving the hospital, he called out to Xiang Jin.
"There's something I don't understand. If Sister Ding took the necklace, then Xiang Jin, what about the one you got back from Master Xiao?" Yu Xingfa handed the box to Xiang Jin. The necklace inside was exactly the same as Lu Yixuan's.
Moreover, he had it checked, and it was undoubtedly genuine.
Xiang Jin was also puzzled: "Murong Xiao said it was found in the luggage bag."
"That's strange. Sister Ding always keeps the necklace in the warehouse, and there's no necklace in her luggage bag! Could it be that Master Xiao was afraid you'd get into trouble, so he bought you an identical one?"
Xiang Jin shook his head violently.
Impossible! How could this be!
How could Murong Xiao possibly buy her a necklace, especially one worth 300,000 yuan!
"What's the deal with the extra necklace?" Yu Xingfa stared intently at Xiang Jin.
Xiang Jin fell silent.
She had no better explanation. The only explanation was perhaps what he said: Murong Xiao had bought her an identical one.
But why? Xiang Jin really couldn't figure it out.
"Xiang Jin, do you really have nothing to do with Master Xiao?" Yu Xingfa asked tentatively.
Xiang Jin nodded firmly.
That's really strange.
If it's not a problem, why would Murong Xiao come to the warehouse specifically to clarify things for her? Why would he carefully buy an identical necklace to shield her from trouble?
But if there is a relationship, what kind of relationship would it be?
I don't understand, I really don't understand.
"Think about this carefully yourself, no matter what. The necklace is yours now; it's up to you how you handle it." Yu Xingfa handed the necklace to Xiang Jin and turned to leave the hospital.
……………………
"What? Murong Xiao bought it!"
"Three...three hundred thousand?"
Bai Ningshuang's loudspeaker attracted strange looks from those around her. Xiang Jin rubbed his forehead and quickly pulled her to sit down: "Little Miss, please keep a low profile."
"Oh, okay." Bai Ningshuang continued to look at the necklace in her hand, clicking her tongue twice.
"This was actually bought by Murong Xiao. I never imagined that my sister knew Murong Xiao. I suddenly feel a little proud, hahaha."
Xiang Jin: "..."
"But Ah Jin, does Murong Xiao have feelings for you? He bought such an expensive item so quietly, just to clear your name? Does someone like him have that much free time?"
Xiang Jin wrote: "I don't know either, I'm very confused right now."
She had never told Bai Ningshuang that she had a crush on Murong Xiao. That's why she came to consult her. She wanted to hear the opinions of an outsider and sort out her thoughts.
Who knew that after all that excitement, they still hadn't gotten to the point.
"This is truly unbelievable. Something with an even lower probability of being a rooster laying an egg has actually happened to you. Tsk tsk, the ugly duckling meets the prince charming, this is quite a story!"
Xiang Jin: "..."
"How far have things progressed between you two? When is he going to confess his feelings, and when are you going to get a divorce?"
Everyone around looked at Xiang Jin.
Xiang Jin: "..."
She was wrong. She shouldn't have told her about it, and she especially shouldn't have done it in this noisy food stall, practically making herself a target.
She covered her face. Sigh, everyone must have misunderstood her and thought she was cheating. It was so embarrassing; she couldn't face anyone anymore.
