Chapter 219 Thief! She's a thief! She stole my ring!
Zhao Baoqi and Jiang Ruoqin, these two new friends, exchanged a glance.
They both saw shock in each other's eyes!
Has Lu Wanyue lost her mind?
How dare they falsely accuse the three of them of being thieves!
Which of the three of them wore jewelry that wasn't more dazzling than Lu Wanyue's ring?
Isn't it as dazzling as Lu Wanyue's ring?
Instead of stealing the one she was wearing, they might as well not return the ones they were wearing to the brand.
Xia Mian just found it a bit ridiculous. "Miss Lu, the innocent are innocent. The three of us are good friends and we've been chatting the whole time. We didn't have time to care about your ring."
"However, since you have raised a question, saying that we are the closest to you."
"Then check the security footage! See where that ring of yours is!"
Some people brought their own bags, while others didn't; their phones and other belongings were with their assistants.
Lu Wanyue didn't want to give up. She said seriously, "Xia Mian, that ring isn't that expensive. If you really like it, ask your boyfriend to buy you one!"
Why would one want to possess it at this jewelry exhibition?
"Don't talk nonsense without evidence! Lu Wanyue, what's wrong with you?!" Zhao Baoqi's explosive temper couldn't stand it for even a minute longer.
"Director Ji, please investigate the surveillance footage immediately! Clear our name!"
Ji Jialin nodded and waved to the security room to retrieve the relevant surveillance footage.
Everyone turned to look in this direction and whispered among themselves.
"Lu Wanyue must be insane!"
"Are you crazy?! The LX jewelry exhibition is being broadcast live!"
"If the director cuts to this scene and broadcasts it..."
"The brand's losses are estimated to be in the hundreds of millions!"
"And those three, Jiang Ruoqin has just become popular again, Zhao Baoqi is a young lady from the Zhao family, and Xia Mian is an ambassador for LX... What serious illness could someone have to steal the ring she was wearing?"
"She's really gone mad!"
...
Lu Wanyue insisted that it was Zhao Baoqi and Xia Mian who lost her ring.
She just can't stand seeing Xia Mian comfortable!
That's why, when he got up to prepare for the performance, he passed by Xia Mian and the other two's seats and threw his ring into one of them.
She was walking very fast, and the ring was lost very quickly; she didn't believe the surveillance footage could have captured it so clearly.
So she bit down very hard!
Not only did she bite them hard, she also rushed to Xia Mian and the other two's seats like a madwoman, dragged them all up, and started searching them!
Finally, she found the ring, held it high, and presented it to Ji Jialin.
"Director Ji, look! My ring is indeed with Xia Mian!"
"The evidence is conclusive; she is a thief!"
"How can someone with such poor character be qualified to be an ambassador for the LX brand?"
"She should be removed from the list!"
Lu Wanyue's expression was a mix of excitement and madness; her eyes were wide open, and her whole body was trembling with excitement.
It was as if I could already see Xia Mian being terminated and sued by the brand, then kneeling in front of her and crying bitterly.
Ji Jialin frowned, his cold gaze falling on Lu Wanyue's distorted face.
Given the decisions made by LX's top management, including the brand's image, it's impossible for them to sign Lu Wanyue.
but……
Jin Liu sent someone over.
The higher-ups had no choice but to agree.
They signed Lu Wanyue, an artist who doesn't fit the brand image and philosophy in any way.
And now this celebrity is using such clumsy methods to act crazy and erratic on such an important occasion!
Ji Jialin was very displeased.
Many people at the scene were shocked to see that Lu Wanyue had indeed found the ring near Xia Mian and the other two's seats!
Everyone stared in astonishment at the scene.
I want to know what will happen to the LX brand next.
Xia Mian didn't say a word.
Lu Wanyue grinned, her lips painted bright red, making her smile look rather terrifying.
It looked like a gaping maw ready to devour a child.
"Xia Mian, is there anything else you want to say?"
Xia Mian was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "I have nothing to say to you."
"You've tacitly agreed, haven't you?" Lu Wanyue was as excited and thrilled as if she had won a battle. "Director Ji, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and kick Xia Mian out!"
"Get Zhao Baoqi and Jiang Ruoqin out! They don't deserve to be here!"
Ji Jialin's cool and aloof eyes were lowered, and her long eyelashes were silhouetted against the light.
His voice was also cold, "Ms. Lu, the surveillance footage will be presented shortly. It's not too late to review it later."
Ji Jialin's men were extremely efficient; they soon came over with a laptop.
The image on the computer screen is very clear.
After watching the video clip, Ji Jialin merely glanced at Lu Wanyue indifferently.
He then took the ring that Lu Wanyue had been holding.
He held the ring between his long, slender fingers and chuckled softly, "Miss Lu, is directing and acting yourself quite interesting?"
A hint of panic flashed across Lu Wanyue's face, and she stood there stunned.
Her bright red lips opened and closed repeatedly, as if she couldn't say a word.
She froze completely!
Her face turned pale, and she pointed at Xia Mian, "I didn't, she stole it! How could I have staged it all?"
Ji Jialin remained calm, "Then I'll just have to ask everyone to watch the surveillance video."
He ordered the staff to turn the computer screen towards everyone, and then... everyone clearly saw Lu Wanyue take off the ring herself and throw it into Xia Mian's seat as she passed by.
At the time, Xia Mian and the other two were whispering and did not notice Lu Wanyue's little actions.
After Lu Wanyue finished her performance, she came back and started looking for the ring!
"Miss Lu, do you have anything else to say?" Xia Mian returned Lu Wanyue's sarcastic words verbatim.
Lu Wanyue seemed shocked by the surveillance video. Her expression was somewhat broken, and after a long while, she stammered, "I...I...I acted impulsively. I didn't mean to."
“If it wasn’t intentional, then it was deliberate.” Xia Mian blinked. “So, you’re in for slander.”
Lu Wanyue's eyes darted away, her face flushed. "I was just playing a game with you, why are you making such a fuss?"
"A joke?" Xia Mian murmured. "Then I'll joke like that with you too, okay? This ring is worth 300,000. If it were really stolen, stealing something worth 300,000 is enough to land you in jail."
"If Bao Qi and I are found guilty of theft, we'll be sent straight to jail. So, Miss Lu, are you telling me this is a joke?"
Looking at Lu Wanyue like this, Zhao Baoqi suddenly felt so tired! She suddenly felt so tired and irritable.
Without a second thought, he stepped forward and slapped Lu Wanyue across the face. "You tried to frame me! I'll give you a slap before the police arrive!"
Seeing this, Jiang Ruoqin immediately rushed over and slapped Lu Wanyue on the other side of her face. "Now it's symmetrical!"
