Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The person who exclaimed at this moment was none other than Ye Xiyuan who had a nervous expression on her face. More importantly, there was nothing around her neck. Just now, everyone saw her wear a diamond necklace around her neck.
“Xiyuan, what’s going on?” Ye Li quickly went forward and saw that the diamond necklace on Ye Xiyuan’s neck disappeared. “Where is your necklace?”
The necklace that Ye Xiyuan wore tonight was a gift from Young Master Nangong. It was priceless. But now, it was suddenly lost. This matter could not be settled so easily. This necklace was especially custom-made for Ye Xiyuan by Young Master Nangong. Just this thought alone was not to be underestimated.
“Dad! I don’t know what happened either!” Ye Xiyuan said in a tearful voice. “Before I blew out the candles, I felt like someone was approaching me and then touching my neck. I thought it was just an illusion and didn’t expect that after the light came on, the necklace on my neck was gone.”
As soon as she finished speaking, there was an uproar because Ye Xiyuan clearly implied that the person who stole the necklace was a guest here.
This time, everyone was unhappy. They only came to attend the banquet and socialize, but now they were suspected of being thieves. Who could stand this? Moreover, although the necklace was worth a lot of money, these people were also respected and wealthy figures. They had the ability to customize such a necklace.
Ye Xiyuan was so anxious that she was about to cry. She looked at Nangong Xuyao and said apologetically, “Brother Nangong, I’m sorry. I didn’t take good care of the necklace you gave me. You gave it to me today, but I lost it.”
“It’s okay. It’s not your fault.” Nangong Xuyao went to Ye Xiyuan i s side and comforted her. “You couldn’t have thought that someone would do such a thing. The person who stole the necklace should be blamed, not you.”
After that, he looked around and said in a slightly authoritative voice, “Who took the necklace away? Take it out now and I can let bygones be bygones.
Otherwise, when we report it to the police, it will not be easy to settle.”
Ye Leng’an, who had been watching everything from the side, gave an ironic smile.
In her previous life, Ye Xiyuan used this method to frame her. However, at that time, what Ye Xiyuan lost was not a necklace but a rather expensive bracelet.
Ye Xiyuan used that necklace probably because the value of the necklace was higher!
If she didn’t guess wrongly, Ye Xiyuan’s necklace should be in her bag right now. Later, there would definitely be someone putting forward a demand to search her bag.
Just as Ye Leng’an had expected, after Nangong Xuyao finished speaking, the guests remained silent. After all, no one who attended the banquet lacked a necklace. If they really liked it, they could just order one after going back. No one would do such a dishonorable thing.
However, at this moment, a sharp voice rose up.
“It must be Ye Lengan. When Xiyuan was cutting the cake just now, she even deliberately approached Xiyuan!” Qian Gumeng pointed at Ye Lengan and shouted, “Moreover, people who came here today are all rich and noble. Only
Ye Leng’an has the motive to steal the necklace.”
For a moment, everyone’s eyes were riveted on Ye Lengan.
“Lengan, if you really took it, then please take it out!” Ye Xiyuan looked at Ye Leng’an, and there was a hint of pride in her eyes, but she still had a pleading look. “As long as you take it out, I can pretend that nothing happened. Also, I have other necklaces that you can choose from, but definitely not this one. This necklace is very precious to me.”
The necklace had already been placed in Ye Leng’an’s bag by the System. In front of such a large crowd, even if Ye Leng’an talked until she was blue in the face, she would not be absolved of responsibility.
After tonight, Ye Leng’an’s reputation would be in shreds. Of course, Ye Xiyuan was so understanding that she would never call the police. She wanted Ye Leng’an to live under everyone’s disdainful gaze.
Everyone thought that Ye Lengan would be panicking after the incident, regardless of whether she stole the necklace or not..
