Yang Min's eyes widened as she watched Wu Youyou shatter her beloved jade bracelet. Her finger trembled as she pointed at Wu Youyou, clearly enraged. Tears streamed down her face, and she looked at Wu Youyou with a trembling voice.
"Wu Youyou, you owe me my bracelet!"
Liu Xiaolan's breathing quickened as she bent down to help Wu Youyou pick up the broken pieces of the jade bracelet.
"Don't move!"
Wu Youyou quickly stopped Liu Xiaolan's behavior.
Liu Xiaolan stopped her hand that was reaching for the jade bracelet. She didn't quite understand why, but she listened to Wu Youyou and didn't pick it up.
Wu Youyou narrowed her eyes, pondering how the jade bracelet ended up in her drawer, and how she happened to break it. This was very strange.
It's obvious that someone is trying to frame me!
Wu Youyou scanned her surroundings, looking at every face, her voice cold and displeased.
"I don't know why this jade bracelet is in my drawer, but I've never taken it!"
Zhang Huihui accused,
"You clearly stole Yang Min's jade bracelet, yet you're still trying to deny it. This jade bracelet looks very expensive; can you afford to pay for it?"
The students stared in astonishment at the scene, finding it hard to believe that Wu Youyou was such a person.
Now that she's been caught red-handed, the more Wu Youyou denies it, the more it confirms her guilt.
[This Wu Youyou didn't seem like someone from a poor family, so why did she steal? You can't judge a book by its cover; how come I never noticed before?]
Wu Youyou really tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead; she's suffered a heavy loss and will probably have to pay a lot of money!
I wonder if her family can afford to pay for it!
......
Liu Xiaolan covered her mouth, looking at the bracelet that was broken into several pieces on the ground. Her heart broke too. How could Wu Youyou afford to compensate for such an expensive bracelet?
Of all those present, probably only He Qiangwei knew that this jade bracelet was utterly worthless to Wu Youyou; she could afford to pay for ten more of it.
Wu Youyou usually wears custom-made clothes and shoes. Because she doesn't like logos printed on the outside, they are almost always printed on the inside, so other people can't see them at all.
But this time, the purpose was to convict Wu Youyou of theft.
As the class monitor, He Qiangwei believed she had the right to uphold justice.
"Wu Youyou, this jade bracelet fell out of your drawer. What's your explanation for that?!"
Liu Xiaolan spoke first to explain for Wu Youyou.
"It definitely wasn't Youyou who stole it; there must be some misunderstanding."
"Misunderstand?"
Yang Min looked pained and her face was very pale.
"This jade bracelet is worth 580,000 yuan, and I still have the invoice. If this is a misunderstanding, then it's a huge misunderstanding!"
What? A jade bracelet worth 580,000 yuan? That's way too expensive!
Wu Youyou is in deep trouble now; she probably can't afford to pay the damages.
That Wu Youyou is truly despicable! She ruined such a beautiful jade bracelet. Look at its quality, it was so exquisite, it's such a pity she broke it!
......
Wu Youyou began to think seriously. In her previous life, she had never encountered such unpleasant things. Now, one trouble after another was happening. She looked at He Qiangwei and found that she was also looking at her. Although He Qiangwei tried her best to hide her expression, Wu Youyou still saw the mockery on her face, just like the treacherous face of He Qiangwei when she fell from the building in her previous life.
In their past life, they were praised to death, but in this life, they find that praise no longer works, so they start to create trouble for themselves.
He Qiangwei, I really underestimated you.
Wu Youyou looked at the strange looks from her classmates, just like the public opinion that had overwhelmed her Wu family in her past life. They were all pointing and whispering about her. If it were an ordinary person, or even herself in her past life, she would definitely not have been able to withstand this public opinion. She immediately felt sorry for her second brother, because her second brother had died from being overwhelmed by public opinion while unable to defend himself.
But the person standing here today is Wu Youyou, who has been reborn. How could she be afraid? Because she will transform into armor to protect the people she loves.
Her voice was calm and powerful, and her gaze was sharp as she looked at some of her classmates.
"Be careful, everyone. Stepping on these jade bracelets could cost tens of thousands of yuan!"
Those students who were close to the broken jade bracelets all stepped back after hearing this, afraid that they might accidentally touch the broken jade bracelets and then be extorted.
"Wu Youyou, you stole the jade bracelet, you have to pay me back the full price!"
"What if I could prove I didn't steal the jade bracelet!"
Yang Min paused for a moment, then said, "If you can prove that you didn't steal the jade bracelet, you won't need to pay for it. In fact, I'll make it into a ring and give it to you as a gift, as a token of our friendship. But if you did steal it, you'll not only have to pay me back the full price, but you'll also have to apologize to me in person and pay double the amount!"
Okay~
Wu Youyou agreed very readily.
"Are you crazy?"
Liu Xiaolan excitedly grabbed Wu Youyou's arm, looking at her nervously, and reminded her,
"If we double that, that's another 580,000, making it 1,160,000."
"You don't believe me?"
Wu Youyou looked at Liu Xiaolan with some doubt in her eyes.
Liu Xiaolan was so worried she cried. She truly felt sorry for Wu Youyou, who was her only friend. Her voice choked with emotion as she spoke.
"I believe you, but I'm afraid you won't be able to prove your innocence."
"Then you'd better watch carefully!"
Wu Youyou's face was full of confidence, and her eyes calmly swept over everyone.
“This jade bracelet was originally in Yang Min’s desk drawer. The reason it ended up here with me must be because someone took it. I have never touched this jade bracelet, so there must be two people’s fingerprints on it. One is Yang Min’s own, and the other must be the murderer’s.”
