Chapter 11 Completely disappointed in him
Jiang Wanning couldn't believe her eyes.
She searched the entire apartment for the jade bracelet yesterday but couldn't find it, and she didn't expect it to appear here.
But with Qin Huifang's previous experience as a lesson, Jiang Wanning did not dare to act rashly for a while.
There was no one around, so she suppressed her heartbeat that was about to jump out of her chest and carefully opened the red cloth bag containing the jade bracelet.
Just one glance was enough for Jiang Wanning to confirm that this was indeed the bracelet she had lost.
So it all makes sense.
Why did Xu Moli say yesterday that she found a mahogany box, but the jade bracelet inside was missing?
It turned out that she had hidden it for a long time and wanted to take it for herself in secret.
However, she had set up such a good show, thinking that it was a perfect substitution and flawless, but she didn't expect that Jiang Wanning would accidentally discover the clue.
At this moment, Jiang Wanning wanted to take the bracelet and find Xu Moli to confront her face to face, asking her why she lied and slandered her in front of Shi Wang that day.
But just as this idea came to her mind and before she could put it into practice, a scream suddenly came from behind her.
"There's a thief, someone's stealing things!!"
Jiang Wanning turned around in surprise and saw that it was the assistant beside Xu Moli.
The two had met before, but they had not had much contact.
The little girl didn't have a deep impression of her, and at this moment her face was full of fear. She pointed at her with wide eyes and trembling fingers.
Following behind her was a large group of people including the director of the drama.
Upon seeing this, the director's happy expression, which was currently talking to the crew leader Jiang Wanning, froze on his face.
"Team Leader Xia, I didn't expect you to employ such unethical staff."
"If the film company suffers losses as a result of this, can you bear the responsibility?"
"Director Wang, I didn't know she was this kind of person before. She was really hiding it too well. Please give me some time. I will definitely terminate the contract with her immediately and give you a satisfactory answer."
The two of them asked and answered questions, and they wanted to convict Jiang Wanning without knowing the whole story.
"That's not the case. This jade bracelet originally belonged to me..."
Seeing this, Jiang Wanning wanted to explain, but the moment she finished speaking, there was a moment of silence all around, followed by laughter.
Everyone showed contemptuous expressions at the same time, as if laughing at her arrogance.
"Haha, you said this jade bracelet was originally yours? You really don't know your own worth."
"Jiang Wanning, I'm afraid you don't know, but this jade bracelet is the masterpiece of Ms. Meng, the world's leading jade carving designer. Its value is simply inestimable within the industry."
"If you really have the ability to obtain her original works, would you still have to work here with us and suffer?"
"Thank goodness Jasmine personally introduced you. I didn't expect you to be such a person in private."
Jiang Wanning was speechless. Even though she knew the reason better than anyone else present, she was unable to prove her identity at this moment.
Even the colleagues in the group who used to have a good relationship with her subconsciously avoided her gaze at this moment.
"Okay, next time before you lie, remember to do a background check."
Xu Moli's assistant reached out to Jiang Wanning, wanting to take the bracelet back: "While Sister Moli is still here, please return the item quickly so that you can leave with a bit more dignity."
"What are you doing secretly while I'm gone?"
The assistant's expression froze. Turning around, Xu Moli had returned to the door of the lounge without him noticing.
But what made everyone hold their breath was the handsome face of the man following closely behind her, and his cold and powerful aura.
Even Director Wang, who is used to seeing all kinds of handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry, was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Wanning was also stunned the moment she saw it clearly, but then she was quickly delighted.
Although she did not expect Shi Wang to appear here, she was delighted that if it was the latter, he would definitely be able to help her explain clearly and prove that the jade bracelet was originally hers.
At the same time, Xu Moli also understood the whole story through the assistant's explanation and showed a pitiful expression that was just right.
"Don't say that, everyone. I believe Sister Wan Ning is not that kind of person."
"Oh my god, Jasmine is so kind and beautiful. Even at this moment, she's still speaking up for others."
"That's right, if it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to accept the existence of such a person around me."
"If I were Jiang Wanning, I would be so ashamed right now that I would want to return the things immediately. How could she still have the nerve to hold on to them?"
Although the whispers around were not loud, in such a tense situation, every word was clearly heard by Jiang Wanning.
This also made her more eager to restore the truth, but when her eyes fell on Shi Wang for help, the man just said lightly: "Wan Ning, return the bracelet to Jasmine first."
"What did you say?"
Jiang Wanning really couldn't believe what she heard.
It was also at this time that she noticed that Shi Wang's reaction when he heard this was too calm.
So calm, as if the man had known all this for a long time.
So, Shi Wang knew from the beginning that his bracelet was not lost at all, but was taken away and hidden by Xu Moli, but he still chose to remain silent.
Just because Xu Moli is his white moonlight?
So are we going to trample on the relationship between them that has lasted for three years?
"say what?"
"I asked you to return the bracelet, didn't you hear me?"
While Jiang Wanning was still in a daze, Xu Moli's assistant couldn't stand it anymore and was about to take the jade bracelet back from her.
Jiang Wanning, who had come to her senses, naturally would not let the other party succeed. She held the bracelet tightly in her hand.
"This is originally mine, why should I give it to her?"
"I say, how can you be so ungrateful?"
When the assistant saw this, he became furious and started cursing.
"My Jasmine has already given you such a chance, why are you still so shameless!?"
After saying that, she used even greater strength to snatch it away. As the two sides argued, there was a "click" sound, and everyone was frozen in place.
It was because the jade bracelet accidentally slipped out of their hand during their argument and fell straight to the ground. When everyone came to their senses, it had already broken into several pieces.
The jade fragments that flew out when the Hetian jade stone shattered cut Jiang Wanning's ankle the moment it hit the ground, leaving a long trail of blood.
She froze in place, her heart almost stopping at that moment.
The assistant was also obviously panicked, waving her hands and backing away: "This is none of my business, she didn't hold it properly."
As everyone gasped, they also heard Shi Wang's soft voice comforting Xu Moli: "It's just a bracelet. Since it's broken, I'll buy you a new one."
"Just a bracelet?"
Jiang Wanning's cochlear implants buzzed, and she stared at the man with red eyes in almost disbelief.
"Shi Wang! Do you know what this bracelet means to me?!"
