Chapter 127 - True Essence of Acting
“What?”
An uproar rose in the exhibition hall.
“Booth no. 1, isn’t that Wu Lingshan’s exhibition booth?”
“I heard that the ornaments she used for her clothes this time are all branded jewelries of the real deal, and they’re ridiculously expensive!”
“Xin Chen stole Miss Wu’s diamond bracelet? Is that really possible?”
“No idea, but a claim like this shouldn’t be made without any proof, should it?”
Sheng Yu totally did not expect Zuo Xiaoqing to accuse Luo Chenxi of theft.
He briefly dazed and said with a frown, “You are claiming that Xin Chen stole the diamond bracelet, are you sure you didn’t see it wrong?”
“That’s right, are you really sure? I didn’t even see anyone come close to my booth.” Wu Lingshan walked in at the right time with a shocked look on her face.
Zuo Xiaoqing stomped her feet exaggeratedly. “Miss Wu, you… Sigh, you are too careless, see for yourself if you don’t believe me, your bracelet really did vanish!””
Wu Lingshan’s expression remained confused as she walked to booth no. 1.
Everyone followed behind her.
Wu Lingshan approached her booth and her eyes immediately widened as she put up a shocked expression. Then, she started running toward the booth and stopped at one of the sets of clothes.
“Miss Wu, what exactly is going on? Did you really lose something?” The staff hurried over to ask.
Wu Lingshan’s face was pale as porcelain. “It’s true, my diamond bracelet… really is missing! How can this be? Why would it vanish out of the blue?”
Sheng Yu had a heavy look on his face as he heard her words. “Are you sure someone else took it away? Could you have dropped it somewhere?”
Wu Lingshan answered, “I hung my bracelet on the sleeve of this gown as I presented it. It wouldn’t have vanished in the first place if no one took it. Oh, right, I have a photo of it here!”
As she said,she took out her cell phone and swiped on it, then she showed the photo to the crowd.
It was a photo that she had taken alone with the gown during the exhibition. In the picture, a bracelet made of diamonds sparkled under the light and it was exceptionally eye-catching.
“Oh, right, I remember now, back when the judges were reviewing, I’ve already noticed this bracelet, it really was beautiful!”
“If I remember correctly, isn’t that Bao Shi Jewelry’s latest collection released this year?”
“Jewelry from Bao Shi? That costs at least a few hundred thousand, right?”
Wu Lingshan nodded sadly, “That is indeed jewelry from Bao Shi, it’s also a global limited edition, the one only one in the world. It cost me around seven million RMB when I bought it…”
A lot of people gasped on the spot.
Seven million is an astrological number for almost everyone.
Yet, Wu Lingshan used such expensive jewelry for the exhibition. As expected of a daughter from a wealthy family!
And now, the said bracelet had vanished…
Zuo Xiaoqing appeared again as she pointed at Luo Chenxi and said loudly, “Xin Chen, did you hear that? The diamond bracelet that you stole is worth seven million! You’ve really got the guts, huh? Hurry up and give it back to Miss Wu. Otherwise, you may very well be put behind bars for the amount stolen! Hurry up, as a former schoolmate, I’m only doing this for your own good!”
Luo Chenxi had been standing by the side with her arms crossed in front of her chest, silently watching the act they were putting up.
She could not help but started laughing as she heard what Zuo Xiaoqing said.
“Zuo Xiaoqing, I can’t believe that you have the nerve to say that you are doing this for my own good! I don’t ever recall having a former schoolmate who would humiliate and blindly frame me for something that I’ve never done!”
“What are you talking about? Are you still in denial even when the evidence is right in front of you?” Zuo Xiaoqing put up an indignant look.
Many designers were led astray by Zuo Xiaoqing’s words.
“What’s going on? If you really stole it, then hurry up and hand it over.”
“You’ve already been exposed, so you can’t deny it even if you want to.”
Zuo Xiaoqing said, “Did you hear that? The eyes of the masses speak the truth!”
Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap!
Luo Chenxi clapped hard as she said with a sarcastic grin, “Zuo Xiaoqing, I’ve known you for so many years, but this is the first time I realized that you could act so well. You’re simply the essence of acting! I think you should give up on being a designer and become an actor instead. The Oscars owes you that golden statue award!”
