Chapter 979: The Big Fat Wedding (10)
“You! Yes, you! How dare you splash water all over my dress! Do you have any idea how expensive it is?” A fat middle-aged woman was yelling at the top of her lungs. Around her neck was a cheap golden necklace.
She was ranting at a pretty, quiet-looking young woman, who blushed at her words. “I didn’t…”
The fatso had bumped into her herself!
The butterball wouldn’t let it drop and shoved the young woman.
“Ah —” The girl fell down with a shriek, dropping her purse, and a silver bracelet fell out.
“Hey, why is my bracelet in your purse?” The fat woman put on a surprised look before switching to a ferocious tone. “I knew it! You did it on purpose! Splashing water on me was just a diversion. You were actually trying to steal from me!”
“You can never tell from one’s appearance… such a pretty girl, but such sticky fingers!”
“Tsk, tsk, just look at her flimsy dress! I bet she used every means to get her hands on an invitation, so that she could get in and steal from other people!”
“Shame on her! How could she do such a thing during a wedding?!”
“…”
The young woman blushed at all the accusations. “It’s mine! My boyfriend gave it to me! This is pure slander!”
“Slander? Guys, just look at her! How can a pauper like you even meet such a rich boyfriend?” Eyes wide open, the fat woman challenged her in a vitriolic tone.
She herself had actually used every conceivable means to get her own invitation, and was planning to hit on some rich guy. However, no one even looked at her twice.
Even her seat at the table was the worst.
She had spotted the young woman’s bracelet when the latter took out her phone just then, and began to formulate a plan.
The chain of the bracelet was only common silver, but it was set with a few diamonds that could be worth at least five figures!
Moreover, she thought the young woman was a very easy target, which turned out to be the case. She was completely powerless in the face of the fat woman’s verbal abuse.
It seemed that she wouldn’t go away empty-handed, after all.
Sheng Yize frowned and said, “Go back first. I’ll handle it.”
This woman must have a death wish to make a scene at his wedding!
An Xiaxia said in a low voice, “I… don’t think the young woman did it.”
“I know what to do,” said Sheng Yize camly. “Go back home.”
He didn’t want An Xiaxia to remember something this awful when she looked back on her wedding in the future.
An Xiaxia nodded and left.
In that corner, that fat woman was still yelling. “Give me back my stuff and apologize to me! That way, I may be generous enough to forget about what happened here!”
The rims of the young woman’s eyes had turned red, and she was nearly in tears. She tried to explain to all the people that were ferociously accusing her, “This really is mine…”
“Liar! Give it to me!” The fat woman grabbed at the bracelet with a boorish movement, but the young woman bit her lip and wouldn’t let go.
Sheng Yize waved at the security guards. However, before they arrived, someone else stepped out.
“Let go of her.” The cold voice reminded one of the frosty winter air.
That took the fat woman by surprise. Looking up, she saw a man in glasses and wearing a suit.
“Why, rescuing a damsel in distress? Too bad, you’re helping a swindler!” said the fat woman without batting an eyelash.
The young woman recognized him and said in a tiny voice, “Mr. An…”
An Yibei adjusted his glasses. “You said the bracelet is yours. Prove it.”
“Proof? Why do I need that?” The fat woman was dumbfounded.
