Chapter 361 After turning off the lights...
However, Su Xi was currently in a state of confusion. Her bag was full of things that should have been hers, but she just hadn't remembered them at the moment.
So she didn't take it out to look at.
Instead, she touched up her lipstick and touched up her somewhat pale lips.
A gentleman approached her and asked her to dance, but Su Xi politely declined again.
Although I tried my best to avoid looking towards the dance floor, my peripheral vision still couldn't help but drift towards the perfectly matched couple.
In the past, when Feng Jue changed dance partners and danced with her, although the dance time was very short and his cold words were all warnings to her, she still felt as sweet as if she had a piece of candy in her heart.
After all, there was never a woman within two meters of Feng Jue, let alone dancing with other women.
She is still a special case.
But now...
Seeing him and Su Mo dancing, one song after another, it was as if they were already a deeply affectionate couple.
Su Xi felt as if she had swallowed a mouthful of extremely bitter poison, and she couldn't describe the taste.
The two seemed to be whispering sweet nothings to each other.
The two of them drew closer and closer, far beyond the distance between ordinary dance partners.
It was as if someone had suddenly ripped open the fine wound on Su Xi's heart, and salt had been rubbed into the already bleeding wound.
She forced herself to look away.
I wanted to leave, but I felt weak all over, as if my buttocks were glued to the chair, and I simply didn't have the strength to get up.
Although I didn't look at them, my mind was racing with wild imaginations, never stopping for a moment. I imagined scenes of them receiving their favor, and even their future children—a perfect pair of dragon and phoenix...
Su Xi waved irritably and ordered a cup of coffee to calm herself down.
at this time,
Feng Jue placed his hand on Su Mo's waist and said calmly, "Miss Su, Gu Chong is one of your men, isn't he? Why is he targeting Su Xi?"
Su Mo was taken aback, then raised an eyebrow. "President Feng, are you here to interrogate me? Since you already know, why bother asking me?"
"I just want to know why."
The implication was that he wouldn't pursue the matter of Su Mo dealing with Su Xi. He just wanted a reason.
Su Mo tightened her grip on the man's shoulder and looked up at him scrutinizingly.
She could tell that the man didn't blame her at all. There was only doubt and eagerness in his eyes.
Moreover, she had just noticed that Feng Jue was completely ignoring Su Xi.
Even when Su Xi was harassed by a pervert, he remained unmoved.
It's clear that he no longer sees Su Xi at all.
Therefore, she was certain that Feng Jue's mind and eyes were now filled with thoughts of whether she was his savior or the little girl from back then.
She went to great lengths and went to great lengths to find Feng Jue.
First, they found Pei Yunshen, who was in prison, and then used Pei Yunshen to lure out Ren Xingheng.
Finally, through Ren Xingheng's words, it was revealed that she was the one who saved Xiao Fengjue's life.
This greatly increases its credibility.
No one could suspect her.
Since Feng Jue no longer cared about Su Xi's life or death, she told him the truth.
"I just can't stand how stupid and clumsy she is, and how she hurts your feelings. I just want to teach her a lesson."
Unexpectedly, she's a fool with good fortune; she always manages to escape danger, and you're always there to clean up her messes.
But she should learn her lesson. I meant well, don't you think?
Feng Jue said calmly, "I'm afraid someone won't appreciate your kindness. Besides, she's not worth it; she doesn't deserve it."
Su Mo smiled, pursing her lips, as if she had just remembered something.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot, Miss Su was so eager this morning to give a kidney to the mistress who broke up her family."
Could she really believe that Wu Yaoyao has kidney failure and needs her kidney to save her life?
Mr. Feng, please forgive my bluntness, but are there really such foolish people in the world?
"Don't misunderstand, I'm not targeting Miss Su; I'm just curious. If that's really the case, then it's truly beyond help, incurable. I've never met such a person in my entire life."
Feng Jue's tone remained indifferent, "Now you've seen it."
Su Mo almost burst out laughing, but considering her image, she just smiled.
He paused for a moment, then added, "Is Mr. Feng here to warn me? In that case, I will no longer keep an eye on Miss Su. I mean what I say."
"Yes, she's definitely not someone you should distract yourself from."
Su Mo quickly lowered her eyes to hide the smile in them.
It seems she really overestimated Su Xi.
It seems now that Feng Jue has truly let go of Su Xi.
She didn't even pursue the matter of sending Gu Chong to take indecent photos of Su Xi, which shows that she has truly let go of that idiot.
Thinking of this, she couldn't suppress the smile lines at the corners of her mouth.
Since that's the case, just as Feng Jue said, Su Xi, that ant, is no longer worth her attention.
now,
She had long noticed that Feng Jue's deep eyes would occasionally glance at her neck.
Out of the corner of my eye, I even glanced down her neck...
Su Mo understood perfectly well, but she wasn't in a hurry.
She glanced casually at the fingers supporting Feng Jue's shoulder, then suddenly gasped as she saw something.
"What's wrong?"
Su Mo looked flustered. "Mr. Feng, I'm so sorry, my red diamond ring is missing. This ring has a very special meaning to me, so I have to go find it."
Feng Jue looked at the woman's bare fingers, his eyes darkening.
On the other side.
Su Xi felt utterly bored and out of place, increasingly regretting not leaving with Feng Jingnian.
Someone sat down next to us. We started gossiping non-stop.
"Feng Jue and Su Mo are truly a match made in heaven. Even when they dance, they're all lovey-dovey, constantly whispering to each other. They seem to have endless topics to discuss. I wonder what they're talking about."
What else can I say? They'll probably be officially dating soon, right?
"Indeed. Such a good-looking couple, if they could get together, they would definitely be a golden couple, a legendary love story."
"Yes, I find it pleasing to the eye just by looking at them now, like breathing in some celestial air. I wonder how cute their children will be in the future, they'll definitely be ridiculously cute."
"..."
Su Xi couldn't listen anymore. She stood up abruptly and finally decided to leave.
A sudden commotion erupted from the direction of the dance floor.
From the whispers that came from near and far, the words "Miss Su" could be faintly heard, and there was a hint of awe and reverence in the tone of the voices.
Clearly, this Miss Su is Su Mo, and has nothing to do with Su Xi.
So, with all this sudden commotion over there, could it be that Feng Jue proposed to Su Mo on the spot?
Su Xi paused, her fingertips clenching so tightly they turned white.
It took almost all her strength to force herself not to look back. She took a deep breath and continued walking forward.
A bodyguard politely blocked her way, "Miss, I'm sorry. Miss Su has lost a priceless red diamond. We hope you will cooperate and not leave for the time being."
So Su Xi was asked to go back.
Su Mo was surrounded by people like a star being fawned over. Feng Jue stood tall and elegant to the side, clearly in a protective stance.
It was as if the two were already a couple.
Su Mo said somewhat apologetically, "That red diamond ring was originally a pair. My father specially commissioned jewelry designer Jennifer to make it as a wedding gift for me. One is naturally mine, and the other... is naturally my future husband's."
When she said the last sentence, Su Mo was obviously a little shy, her voice became very soft, and she secretly glanced at Feng Jue beside her.
Feng Jue noticed that seemingly casual gaze, and unusually, he echoed it, a rare occurrence for him.
"Regardless of its value, since it is my uncle's wish, we must find this red diamond."
The others echoed this sentiment.
"Yes, yes, Miss Su, however you wish to find it, we will fully cooperate."
"The wedding gift that Uncle Su prepared for you is priceless in terms of both sentiment and value. We must find it even if we have to search high and low."
Some people, in their eagerness to curry favor, even made shocking remarks: "I think we should conduct body searches. The men should be in one row, and the women in another. The men should be searched by the men, and the women by the women. This way, we can quickly eliminate suspicion from everyone and also find the bad apple."
"I think this method is feasible. Searching them immediately will prevent the stolen goods from being moved. Besides, if they're not found, not only will everyone be cleared of suspicion, but we can also start thinking about other possibilities, increasing our chances of finding the ruby and preventing the thief from getting away. What do you all think?"
Many people agreed.
Some people had already started making arrangements, volunteering as henchmen, while maintaining order and issuing warnings.
"Anyone who's foolish enough to take it had better hand it over obediently. That red diamond is worth more than enough to behead you. Don't blame me for not warning you."
Everyone chimed in, eager to curry favor with Su Mo.
Su Xi hadn't taken this matter to heart at first.
After all, if you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear.
But the word "red diamond" kept floating around in her ears, and after hearing it so many times, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and realized something.
My heart skipped a beat.
When she reached into her bag for lip balm earlier, her fingertips seemed to touch something that looked like a diamond ring.
She knew perfectly well that she didn't have a diamond ring in her bag.
Could it be...?
Su Xi didn't dare to open the bag to look inside. Her hand holding the bag trembled slightly, and her face slowly turned pale.
Given how these people fawn over Su Mo, once they find the red diamond, they'll probably tear her apart before she can even explain or prove her innocence.
Then he tried to curry favor with Su Mo.
Taking a deep breath, Su Xi subconsciously looked at Feng Jue.
Feng Jingnian is gone; now only Feng Jue remains…
But when her gaze fell upon the man's sharp, cold, and aloof profile, she couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.
It's already good enough that Feng Jue didn't kick him when he was down.
How could I possibly help a complete stranger like her?
As she thought about it, Su Xi's fingers tightened unconsciously, and the bag in her hand was almost deformed from her grip.
My breathing became labored.
She could only look at Su Mo.
Similar faces, yet such different fates. It's truly...
After listening to everyone's chatter, Su Mo, with impeccable manners, spoke with a hint of apology.
"It's my own carelessness that I lost my things. It's already my fault for causing everyone worry, so how could I possibly search everyone?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a lackey indignantly declared that it was just a body search, not a skinning or dismemberment. Anyone who refused to be searched was guilty of something, and so on.
Su Mo, being very well-mannered, listened to them finish speaking before smiling and saying...
"Actually, it doesn't have to be so complicated. I have a solution."
Since these two red diamonds were specially commissioned by my father from skilled craftsmen, they naturally have their unique characteristics. They are not comparable to ordinary red diamonds.
If my two red diamonds are about two meters apart, they will form a large red heart-shaped arc.
My diamond ring has been stolen, but the other one is still in my bag. All I need to do is turn off the lights, and then have someone take the other ring and walk around.
"As long as you get within two meters of that red diamond, a distinct heart-shaped glow will appear, making it immediately clear where the ring is."
The moment the words were spoken, the scene fell into a sudden, stunned silence.
The lives of the wealthy are indeed beyond your imagination; they even have such romantic high-tech lifestyles.
Soon, quick-thinking people chimed in, "If that's the case, then the red diamond can't be lost. Everyone, please keep an eye out for anyone acting suspiciously around you, and make sure she doesn't secretly move the red diamond."
"Heart-shaped sunset? That's so romantic! Miss Su and her future husband will definitely be an enviable couple."
The person who said this kept glancing back and forth between Su Mo and Feng Jue with a knowing smile, clearly certain that their wedding was imminent.
Many people clearly share the same thought.
This time, before Su Mo could even speak, someone had already stepped forward to maintain order.
"Alright, alright, everyone, stop arguing and turn off the lights first, that's the important thing."
"To prevent some petty thief from figuring out a way to transfer the red diamonds; that would be a huge loss."
Many people echoed this sentiment, and then instructed the waiters to turn off all the lights.
Upon hearing this, Su Xi's face paled even more, and she could barely hold onto her bag.
Although Su Mo remained aloof and unapproachable from beginning to end, never once glancing in her direction, she had a strong premonition.
A woman's intuition is never wrong.
This scheme was definitely set up against her.
That red diamond was definitely in her bag.
When exactly did that red diamond end up in her bag?
She was clearly being very careful.
Su Xi pursed her lips into a straight line, beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead, and she racked her brains to think of the right words.
In fact, simply reporting it to the police or reviewing the surveillance footage would prove her innocence.
Although the framing definitely happened in a place without surveillance cameras, as long as she wasn't caught stealing the red diamond in a place with surveillance cameras, she cannot be convicted.
As long as she reports it to the police, she won't fall into the trap of proving herself.
But everyone present, without exception, was trying to curry favor with Su Mo.
There will be absolutely no chance for her to defend herself at that time.
unless……
Su Xi, quite shamefully, looked in Feng Jue's direction again.
His eyes clearly screamed for help.
She was already flustered and couldn't control her facial expressions anymore.
However, before she could even see Feng Jue, everything suddenly went black, and she was plunged into complete darkness.
It seems the operation to catch the thief has already begun.
Su Mo naturally wouldn't do it herself, but instead handed another red diamond to a servant.
The servant, carrying the red diamond, moved from one side of the hall to the other, licking it like a snake, not missing an inch.
As the footsteps drew closer, Su Xi knew she was doomed.
She could only put her bag on the table next to her.
Just as the maid walked to within about two meters of Su Xi,
