Upon hearing Liu Tingyu's words, Lin Jiaorui smiled smugly and spoke.
"Sister, look, even Teacher Liu said you went too far, preparing something like this. Unlike me, my gift was full of sincerity..."
No sooner had she uttered the phrase "full of sincerity" than Liu Tingyu coldly retorted.
I'm talking about you.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiaorui's smile froze instantly. She turned to look at Liu Tingyu blankly and couldn't help but ask.
"Teacher Liu, are you sure you're not mistaken? This jewelry was a gift from me; Lin Qingtong only gave me a painting."
Upon hearing this, Liu Tingyu sneered, then her gaze fell on the painting beside Lin Qingtong, her eyes filled with longing.
"I prefer this painting to gold and silver jewelry. I never thought someone would actually find it."
"You probably don't know the meaning of this painting. It was created during my studies abroad, amidst immense suffering. After that, I decided to enter the entertainment industry, so this can be considered a memento."
She reached out and touched the painting, her smile deepening.
Her expression darkened immediately, and she suddenly looked in Lin Jiaorui's direction, her tone very displeased.
"Moreover, the jewelry you brought is fake; it was probably just something you bought online."
When Lin Jiaorui heard these words, she immediately became furious and raised her voice to retort.
"How could that be? I clearly changed it..."
She stopped mid-sentence, then swallowed her words, while Lin Qingtong smiled sweetly at Lin Jiaorui.
"Lin Jiaorui, what did you change?"
Lin Jiaorui's face flashed with unease, and she adopted a posture of refusing to admit it, letting out a cold snort.
"Anyway, my jewelry can't possibly be fake."
Her peripheral vision fell on the glittering diamond necklace, so dazzling it almost blinded her.
Actually, Lin Jiaorui was also a little unsure. Logically speaking, diamonds are high in purity, but they are not that transparent.
Only moissanite can be this clear.
In that instant, Lin Jiaorui felt extremely flustered, but she still tried to hold on, since they couldn't provide any evidence to prove that what she said was fake.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiaorui looked at Lin Qingtong with even more confidence.
Lin Qingtong smiled and slowly stepped forward to pick up the diamond necklace.
The necklace was very bright and white, shining brilliantly in the sunlight, almost blindingly so.
Lin Jiaorui said coldly, "Sister, if you break the necklace later, you'll have to pay for it."
At this moment, Lin Jiaorui had already made up her mind. As long as Lin Qingtong put down the necklace, she would go over and pretend to knock the box over.
If the necklace falls to the ground and something goes wrong, it will definitely be Lin Qingtong's fault.
A cold glint flashed in Lin Jiaorui's eyes as she eagerly awaited Lin Qingtong slowly putting down the necklace.
Unexpectedly, Lin Qingtong not only didn't put down the necklace, but also casually opened the inner layer of the velvet box.
She calmly took something out of the box, held it slowly in her hand, and murmured something as she parted her red lips slightly.
"Jinxiu Silver Jewelry Store, Price - 39.9 RMB including shipping".
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiaorui froze on the spot and questioned Lin Qingtong.
"Lin Qingtong, don't talk nonsense, this is clearly you..."
She originally wanted to say that the necklace was taken from Lin Qingtong's office, and if the necklace was fake, it would mean that Lin Qingtong bought a fake one.
Lin Qingtong raised her eyes and smiled, "What am I, clearly?"
Lin Jiaorui gritted her teeth so hard they almost broke, but she refused to utter a single word of rebuttal.
Because she couldn't possibly admit that she stole Lin Qingtong's things.
But Lin Jiaorui was too naive; whatever was on her mind was written all over her face, and anyone with eyes could see it clearly.
She hesitated to speak repeatedly, and almost everyone around could tell that Lin Jiaorui was feeling guilty.
Many eyes fell on Shen Yibo, whose face turned ashen under their gazes. He abruptly stood up and spoke directly.
"Absolutely shameful!"
Lin Jiaorui paused for a moment, then asked Shen Yibo for confirmation.
"Yibo, you must be talking about Lin Qingtong, right?"
Shen Yibo slammed his hand on the table, his tone icy cold.
I'm talking about you!
Lin Jiaorui's face turned even paler, and then she heard Shen Yibo's next words.
"You can do it yourself. I'm not involved in this anymore, and it has nothing to do with me. You'll have to explain it to him yourself!"
Shen Yibo left with a single sentence, then strode away, his whole body radiating displeasure.
Lin Jiaorui clenched her fists, her face ashen, and stared intently in Lin Qingtong's direction.
It's all because of Lin Qingtong that things have turned out this way. It's all her fault!
She gritted her teeth secretly, wishing she could tear Lin Qingtong's tiny face to shreds and show everyone her hypocrisy.
If Lin Jiaorui couldn't figure out that Lin Qingtong had deliberately framed her now, she would be incredibly foolish.
She had already guessed that all of this was a trap set by Lin Qingtong, designed to frame her and make her lose face.
Lin Jiaorui never even considered that if she hadn't deliberately framed Lin Qingtong first, how could Lin Qingtong possibly retaliate?
It was all Lin Jiaorui's own fault.
After Shen Yibo left, Liu Tingyu stood directly beside Lin Qingtong and announced in a calm tone.
"I heard the whole story on the way here. Miss Lin Qingtong's painting is indeed real, because I painted it myself."
"Ms. Lin Jiaorui's repeated attempts to fob me off with fake products show a lack of sincerity. What I want is not money, but your company's sincerity in cooperating with me."
"As long as Sukai Home Furnishings products are up to standard, I will directly announce our cooperation with them."
Liu Tingyu has always been cautious and steady. Even when it comes to cooperation, he will consider the quality of the products before deciding to cooperate.
Instead of choosing to cooperate based on the amount of compensation.
She paused, looked at Lin Jiaorui, and spoke again: "I, Liu Tingyu, will never cooperate with your Celebrity Home Furnishings. Even if your products are up to standard, I am genuinely worried about having a manager who likes to use counterfeit goods."
In the bright and airy conference room, Lin Jiaorui stood there, surrounded by many burning gazes, which made her feel incredibly humiliated.
"Teacher Liu is right. How could someone who is used to using counterfeit goods possibly use genuine ones in business?"
“This is no joke. If it gets discovered, my reputation will be ruined. I was so blind to think Lin Jiaorui was so nice.”
"She's so pretty, yet she did something like this."
These words reached Lin Jiaorui's ears, her eyes flickered slightly, and she immediately clutched her stomach and cried out.
"I can't take it anymore, I'm pregnant, my stomach hurts so much, call an ambulance!"
Upon hearing that Lin Jiaorui was pregnant, everyone around her rushed to get her to the hospital.
Lin Qingtong sat there calmly, a mocking smile playing on her lips.
She should be acting; her acting skills are such a waste, she's not using them for anything worthwhile.
If she really had a stomachache, why was her complexion still so rosy? She was just howling, but her voice was still very loud.
