Chapter 238 Satisfying the Eyes of the Onlookers
Shen Feier searched very carefully, not missing a single corner. She even took out the items from the bag one by one without permission.
Fortunately, there was nothing shameful in Su Xi's bag.
I searched everywhere, but couldn't find it.
How is that possible?
Shen Feier's fingers began to tremble slightly as she rummaged through the items again, finally opening a small box.
Panic had already crept into the woman's eyes; she hadn't held out any hope. But the moment the box was opened, her dull eyes instantly brightened.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, two diamond earrings lay quietly inside the opened box.
It's absolutely true and can't be denied.
"Found it!" Shen Feier casually tossed the box aside, took out the earrings and showed them to the people around her. "These are my earrings. Su Xi, what do you have to say for yourself?"
The crowd erupted in boos.
"Tch, putting on such a righteous and upright act, I thought it really wasn't her, but... tsk tsk. You can never judge a book by its cover. Such a beautiful face, yet she's a thief."
"When she kept making excuses, I knew it had to be her. See? I wasn't wrong, was I?"
"It was just embarrassing at first, but now I have to kneel down and kowtow. It's all my own fault. If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. It's too late to regret it now."
Listening to the whispers, Feng Jinchen wished he could disappear into the ground.
If there weren't so many people around, he would have grabbed the woman by the neck and fiercely questioned her about why she treated him this way.
The most shameful person after this happened isn't Su Xi, but Feng Jinchen! Did Su Xi do it on purpose?
Or was she just that kind of woman all along? Stealing his money to invest in Color Technology is irrefutable proof that he never truly understood her.
Feng Jue remained expressionless and composed, appearing unfathomable.
Si Beicheng was completely baffled, staring intently at the earring. He almost developed a strabismus from looking at it.
Shen Feier was heartbroken. "Miss Su, I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person, and I didn't want to make things worse. We're all adults, and we should keep our word."
Xie Qingqing clenched her fist excitedly and couldn't help but say, "Su Xi, aren't you going to kneel down?"
Su Xi sneered, "I did nothing wrong, why should I kneel?"
She held out her hand. "Miss Shen, please give me back my earring."
Shen Feier found it extremely funny and directly took out a photo of the earrings. "This is a photo I took when I was bored. The style and brand are exactly the same. These are definitely my earrings. What? You stole them, put them in your bag for a few minutes, and they're yours now?"
A burst of laughter erupted from the crowd, all looking at Su Xi with mockery, as if she were an idiot.
"You said these are your earrings, do you have a receipt?" Si Beichen asked.
"No."
Si Beicheng's face fell.
"But there are markings on it."
Si Beichen's handsome face lit up again, his eyebrows practically dancing – he knew it.
"What mark? You stole these few minutes, did you scratch them with your fingernails? That doesn't count as a mark. Besides, you'll have to compensate me for damaging valuable items, Miss Su."
The audience burst into laughter again.
"My name's initials are on the earring."
The laughter stopped abruptly the moment the words were spoken.
Soon someone brought a magnifying glass. The magnifying glass also had a camera attached, which was directly connected to the large screen, satisfying the onlookers' visual cravings.
Shen Feier didn't believe it. Didn't she know whether her earrings had any engravings on them?
She pointed the magnifying glass directly at the earring, and soon, two letters appeared on the big screen: "SX".
The woman's expression changed instantly. Was this the initials of Su Xi's name? How could this be?
"It's just two letters, but they can represent a lot of meaning. It's just a coincidence." Xie Qingqing didn't believe that Su Xi would have such an expensive earring.
"You can take a look at the other one."
"Let's see. Sister Fei'er, I don't believe it. But to claim two letters as her name is really funny. I want to see what she can come up with this time."
Xie Qingqing was blindly confident, but Shen Feier was somewhat uncertain. She had a feeling that things might get out of control.
While she hesitated, someone pushed her aside and said, "Get up, stop dawdling, I'll do it."
Si Beichen held a magnifying glass to another earring, and sure enough, there was a line of numbers on it: "0923".
"What's this?"
Everyone looked puzzled.
Only Feng Jinchen and Feng Jue's eyes flickered. September 23rd was Su Xi's birthday.
Xie Qingqing sneered, "It's just the manufacturing date. You're not trying to say it's your birthday, are you?"
The moment the woman finished speaking, almost every disdainful gaze fell upon her. That was a high-end luxury brand, B; how could they possibly engrave such a low-class thing as a production date on it? Besides, it wasn't even in the correct production date format.
Shen Feier's face instantly turned extremely ugly. She didn't know if the earring belonged to Su Xi, but it was definitely not hers.
What exactly happened?
"Miss Su, what does 0923 mean?"
"My birthday."
Shen Feier's face instantly drained of color. A person's birthday can't be faked. With both a birthday and initials, could this earring really be Su Xi's? How could this be?
"The world is full of wonders, and this doesn't completely prove it's yours. But we are indeed very destined to meet, so I'll keep this earring for you."
Shen Feier wanted to settle things peacefully and acted with grace and poise, befitting a well-bred young lady.
Unfortunately, no one but her wanted to swallow this gossip whole. Even Xie Qingqing was unwilling to give up, stamping her feet in frustration, "Sister Fei'er, this earring is clearly yours, why are you letting her have it?"
A woman in a black and gold dress exclaimed, "I found out! These earrings have nothing on them except the brand logo. But they do add initials or birthdays upon request, and the price almost doubles. So these earrings really do belong to Su Xi."
Upon hearing this, Xie Qingqing was like a duck being choked, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Who gave you these earrings?
Feng Jinchen said coldly. A gift with initials and a birthday—could it be from his uncle?
Su Xi had no intention of hiding it. "This is a gift from Qingqian, a gift for my miraculous survival."
She looked it up and thought it was too expensive, so she never wore it.
Why did she give you such an expensive gift?
"If you don't believe me, you can ask her yourself."
Feng Jinchen clenched his fist. They were so close they were practically inseparable; even if he asked, he'd just be given the runaround. But this wasn't the time to question them, so he had to put it aside for now.
"Can I have my earring back?"
Shen Feier dug her nails into her palms. "These are definitely not my earrings, but where are my earrings?"
Su Xi's face turned cold. "Miss Chen, please watch your words. Why are you questioning me about your things?"
"If I don't ask you, who should I ask? The thing was clearly in your bag, how could it not be there? I clearly told you..." Xie Qingqing's words stopped abruptly, her eyes showing some panic.
Shen Feier wished she could slap this good-for-nothing to death.
Su Xi narrowed her eyes. "Let what? Let someone secretly put it in my bag to frame me? Who did you find? Such an expensive earring, maybe that person hid it. Why don't you two coordinate in private and then try to frame me?"
The audience burst into laughter again. But this time, it was all mocking Shen Feier.
Now that things have come to this, who among us doesn't understand?
It turns out that Shen Feier framed them all, a thief crying "stop thief!" They were all deceived; they were all part of this despicable woman's scheme. This is utterly outrageous!
"Miss Chen, you're hilarious. If you have any grudges, you can settle them privately. Using such despicable and low-class methods is one thing, but you also ruined a perfectly good banquet. Do you think this is your own home?"
"That woman surnamed Chen is clearly no good. Even if there's a grudge, it's her fault. Miss Su is really unlucky to be entangled with someone like that."
"How despicable. Actors really know how to act. They frame others and then act like victims. Their acting skills are truly top-notch. They might as well go into the adult entertainment industry."
All sorts of nasty words were hurled at her ears. Shen Feier had never suffered such humiliation before, and she screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Ah—ah—ah—"
She covered her ears and closed her eyes, clearly on the verge of a breakdown.
It has to be said that Shen Feier does have some dolphin-like vocal quality.
After venting her hysteria, she glared fiercely at Su Xi and all the onlookers. "You all just love to watch the drama unfold and bully me. Are you satisfied now? Don't forget that I have the Shen Group and the Si Group behind me. This won't end here. Just you wait and see!"
After saying that, he simply turned and left. He left!
Everyone exchanged bewildered glances. This person was utterly insane. Was he trying to wade into society before his embryonic development was even complete? This was something no normal person would do.
Su Xi didn't expect Shen Feier to just pack up and leave like that. Wasn't she afraid of being ridiculed by everyone?
She glanced at Feng Jinchen unconsciously; the man's expression was somewhat cold. "It's better to avoid trouble. Let's just let this go."
Si Beicheng touched his nose. "Ladies and gentlemen, this snake disease has absolutely nothing to do with me. Please spread the word."
If this woman uses my name to swindle people again, please let me know. I've kept a record of all the kindness shown to me, and when I inherit the company, I'll definitely give everyone a 10% discount. I'm not as stingy as my old man.
Everyone was initially shocked, then overjoyed. Did he even know how much profit a ten percent could generate? What a spendthrift!
"Of course, of course."
"President Si is very generous."
Instantly, a large crowd swarmed around him, flattering him.
"Let me go! Let me go! Do you know who I am?"
Shen Feier was dragged back by the bodyguards in black.
The group, who had initially been listless, suddenly brightened up.
Su Xi was somewhat surprised. When she saw the man in black bringing Shen Feier to Feng Jue, her eyes flickered, and she unconsciously bit her lower lip.
A cold, sharp gaze shot over, and the voice was as cold as ice, "Don't you have anything to say?"
Su Xi pursed her lips, ignoring Feng Jinchen's warning, and looked up at Shen Feier, saying, "Miss Shen, have you forgotten something? You haven't knelt down to apologize yet. Oh right, and you also have to kowtow."
Shen Feier glared angrily, but before she could speak, Feng Jue said coldly, "No, say it again."
Su Xi clenched her fist. Now that her uncle was backing her up, what did she have to worry about?
"I almost forgot. The way you insulted me is equivalent to being stripped naked in public. So, as you promised, you'll strip me naked. Will you do it yourself, or should I have the bodyguards help you?"
Seemingly somewhat satisfied with the woman, Feng Jue withdrew his handsome, cold eyes.
Everyone was watching intently, especially the men. What a show today!
