Chapter 243 Qiao Xi stole my necklace

really!

The guests were having a good time for a short while.

The atmosphere on the scene changed.

The staff walked back and forth and began searching corners.

The guests noticed the movement and asked, "Is something missing?"

"Ms. Xu's sapphire necklace is missing. It was a birthday gift from Mrs. Xu. She treasured it very much and was so worried that she almost cried."

"How did the necklace fall off? I think the sapphire is quite big and worth a lot of money."

How could the birthday gift Liu Huimin gave to her daughter be cheap?

"Could it be stolen?" A certain lady covered her mouth and laughed, "I was just talking nonsense. How could someone in such a place steal things? Either it was lost, or the waiter took it."

Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou stood aside, watching the guests talking.

Qiao Xi watched Xu Xingluo's performance calmly.

She shouldn't have studied ballet. She should have gone into the entertainment industry and become a movie star.

Xu Xingluo was right in front of the stage, crying her eyes out.

The Xu and Liu families all surrounded her to comfort her. Old Mrs. Liu felt a little resentful that she didn't consider the situation, so she said.

"Xingluo, grandma will find you something more expensive some other day."

"It's different. This is the birthday gift my mother picked for me. This year is my first birthday party." Xu Xing cried and insisted on finding the necklace.

The other guests all chimed in, "Ms. Xu is so thoughtful. Let's all help look for it."

They all saw this as an opportunity to curry favor with the Xu family.

If we find the necklace, we can take credit for it in front of the Liu family.

Liu Huimin hugged Xu Xingluo and said, "Don't cry, baby. I'll send someone to look for you. Think about where you've been first."

"The buckle of this necklace is tight, it won't fall off easily." Xu Xingluo looked around and noticed that the guests' eyes were all on her. She pursed her lips and said, "I only took it off twice, once in the dressing room and once to clean the cream in the bathroom."

She glanced at Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou, hiding her plan.

Xiang Huai instructed, "Go to the dressing room immediately and search all staff members. I will compensate those who fail to find it. You guys go to the bathroom and search."

After a while, someone came to report: "It's not in the dressing room. The staff searched everyone. We also searched the bathroom, but it was not there."

When Xu Xingluo heard this, her tears fell even faster.

Xu Xingluo stammered, "When I was in the bathroom, I took off the necklace to clean the cream. At that time..."

"What happened then?" Liu Huimin asked.

Xu Xingluo cried even more sadly: "At that time... Qiao Xi was there too."

She glanced at Qiao Xi timidly.

All the guests looked at Qiao Xi, with contempt and curiosity falling on her.

Qiao Xi kept a faint smile on her face and remained unmoved.

She was no longer hurt by such looks. Everything Xu Xingluo had done was like a little clown, his true colors exposed.

I really don't know why she would ruin such a grand birthday party.

Xu Xingluo explained hurriedly: "Qiao Xi would never do such a thing. Although she doesn't come from a good family, Brother Xingzhou is rich. How could she possibly be interested in..."

Xiang Huai said angrily, "Country people are greedy for petty gains, and they can't change it. Who knows if she took advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the situation?"

Sun Shao was the first to be unable to hold back: "How old are you? What did a country boy do to you?"

Mrs. Sun quickly covered his mouth and warned him in a low voice: "Silly son, why are you interfering in the fight between gods? Didn't you see that Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi were very calm?"

The Liu family frowned. "Forget about a sapphire necklace. Doctor Xiao Qiao is a very good person and would never do such a thing."

"Xingluo, stop it." Liu Zongquan warned.

Liu Huimin felt distressed and couldn't bear to see Xu Xingluo being wronged, so she said, "If this matter is not clarified, I'm afraid Qiao Xi will also be criticized. Instead of becoming a topic of conversation after dinner, it's better to let her prove her innocence."

Xiang Huai chimed in: "Auntie is right. Mrs. Huo, you can't be criticized. Qiao Xi, take out your bag and let us see!"

He hated Qiao Xi so much and enjoyed seeing her humiliated.

"Don't make trouble! This matter ends here!" said Old Mrs. Liu with a cold face.

Liu Huimin was also spoiled and naive. She pointed at Qiao Xi and said, "She and Xingluo are always at odds and against each other. Xingluo has suffered a lot at her hands. I don't want to let it go this time."

"Hui Min, forget it." Xu Guangyao said hypocritically.

"Hubby, that doesn't count!"

Liu Huimin looked at Qiao Xi coldly, "Do you dare to show the bag to everyone? If not, I apologize to you."

Qiao Xi held Huo Xingzhou intimately, with a gentle yet firm light in her eyes: "What if we can't find it? You have damaged the Huo family's reputation, is it enough to just apologize?"

"Then what do you want?" Xiang Huai looked at her with disdain, "You still want money?"

Qiao Xi's lips were full and moist, exuding a gentle yet sharp aura: "I don't want money. Since you want to humiliate me, then Miss Xu, please accompany me to search my bag."

"You..." Xiang Huai's face turned pale. He pointed at Qiao Xi and said, "Are you worthy enough to compete with Xing Luo?"

Huo Xingzhou held his hand and slowly exerted force.

A pair of overly cold eyes stared at him: "Xiang Huai, you don't think my wife is so easy to bully, right?"

Xu Xingluo said softly: "Brother Xingzhou, that necklace is really important to me. Qiao Xi, I agree to your terms, let's open the bag together."

Qiao Xi replied: "Okay."

There was calculation in Xu Xingluo's eyes, and she was waiting to see what would happen.

They both unzipped their bags at the same time.

Qiao Xi took the lead in emptying her bag and shook it a few times. Scattered on the floor were her cushion foundation, lipstick, and cell phone, nothing else.

In addition to cosmetics, a dazzling sapphire necklace also fell out of Xu Xingluo's bag.

Particularly conspicuous.

“Wow!”

The guests looked at each other in bewilderment: "The necklace is not lost, it was in Xu Xingluo's bag."

Xiang Huai and Xu Xingluo's faces turned pale, unable to believe it.

This is impossible!

They had clearly bribed someone to put the necklace in Qiao Xi's bag, so how could it be in her own bag?

"How is this possible!" Xu Xingluo's mind went blank for a moment, and he shouted out loud without controlling his emotions.

Qiao Xi was graceful and said with a proper smile: "How is it impossible? Did you deliberately send someone to throw the necklace into my bag to frame me, but you didn't expect it to be in your own bag?"

"No... that's not the case."

Xu Xingluo glared at Xiang Huai fiercely.

Some guests noticed something and thought that it was probably Xu Xingluo who directed and acted this out himself.

Xu Xingluo tried desperately to regain his face, and said in a pale defense: "Maybe I forgot, this is really a misunderstanding."

The Liu family was very disappointed with her, and Xu Guangyao's face turned pale.

Idiot!

Why did you provoke Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi at the birthday party!

At this time Huo Xingzhou sneered.

The light fell on the watch on his rolled-up sleeve, reflecting a sharp, cold light.

His eyes were deep and intimidating when he looked cold, and the temperature around him seemed to drop by several degrees.

His tone was like ice cubes: "Are these the only tricks you have? There are so many loopholes."

Xu Xingluo's face turned pale, and he opened his mouth but was so frightened by him that he couldn't say anything.

Xiang Huaitie's face turned green and he asked angrily, "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Huo Xingzhou's eyes curved up, and he said with a half-smile: "Originally I should settle the old and new accounts at the same time, but now I'm afraid it's not my turn."

Many people still don't understand what he means.

Huo Xingzhou's driver, Lao Chen, walked quickly to the door of the banquet hall and pressed the switch.

The originally closed carved door of the banquet hall opened, and Xu Yunye, who had disappeared for a long time, appeared pushing a wheelchair.

A man in hospital gown, skinny but in good spirits, was sitting in a wheelchair.

It turned out to be Liu Zongyun!
