Chapter 367: I’ll Give You Five Minutes
She had not taken any of Jiang Haoxuan’s belongings. How could the male Patek Philippe watch be in her bag?
Lin Fei’er’s big, black and round eyes sank. She looked at the complacent Sheng An’ning and there was a trace of displeasure on her bright face.
“I don’t know why this watch was in my bag, but I didn’t steal Mr. Jiang’s watch.”
Sheng An’ning sneered sarcastically as she glared at Lin Fei’er haughtily.
“Huh, you have the courage to steal but you dare not admit it when you’re caught?”
Lin Fei’er pursed her lips and was trying to explain. Suddenly, Su Wan stood in front of her and stopped her.
Although Su Wan didn’t know why Jiang Haoxuan’s watch was in Lin Fei’er’s bag, she believed after years of friendship, Lin Fei’er was not a person who would steal.
This matter was likely to be a misunderstanding, or it was Sheng An’ning’s means of framing Lin Fei’er.
Su Wan walked up to Lin Fei’er. She frowned slightly and met Sheng An’ning’s aggressive eyes.
“Miss Sheng, things have not been investigated yet. How can you conclude a person is a thief just like this?”
“The evidence is clear. The watch is in Lin Fei’er’s bag and you say things have not been investigated? It’s ridiculous!”
Hearing Su Wan’s words, Sheng An’ning sneered.
“Sis-in-Law, do you mean that this watch has wings of its own and can fly into her bag? Or do you mean we put the watch in her bag in order to frame her? ”
“It’s not impossible.”
Jiang Xuecheng, who was standing beside Su Wan silently, spoke in a cold and calm voice without any ripples as he held Su Wan’s hand.
Sheng An’ning was shocked when she heard Jiang Xuecheng defending Su Wan and her friend. Sheng An’ning seemed to have been struck by the lightning and was unable to recover.
She bit her pink lips and when she saw the loving gesture of hand-holding between Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan, her heart was filled with resentment.
On what basis could they be so loving?
Very quickly, there were tears in her beautiful eyes. She looked at Jiang Xuecheng in disbelief with her eyes full of tears.
“Brother Xuecheng, things are so clear. Do you still want to defend them? What kind of disreputable friend has Sis-in-Law made? The amount of theft has reached millions. She has to go to jail!”
That was right, no matter how the watch got into Lin Fei’er’s bag, she wanted to make things big and make Su Wan unhappy!
Upon hearing this, Lin Fei’er was angry from the bottom of her heart. She suppressed the displeasure in her heart and questioned Sheng An’ning coldly, “Who are you calling disreputable?!”
Sheng An’ning looked at Lin Fei’er and snorted scornfully.
“Don’t you dare not admit after you’ve stolen something! That Patek Philippe watch was my birthday gift to Haoxuan! I didn’t expect that you, who can’t afford luxurious goods, would have a good eye for luxurious goods. Your boldness in stealing arose because you took fancy to its value, right?”
As they were arguing, a rebuke suddenly broke out.
“An’ning, that’s enough! Stop it!”
Jiang Haoxuan had been standing quietly behind Sheng An’ning. However, as soon as he spoke, he woke up all the people in the breakfast area.
Everyone’s eyes shifted toward Jiang Haoxuan. Jiang Haoxuan’s handsome face was expressionless but his eyes were staring at Lin Fei’er, as if he was recalling something.
Lin Fei’er was shocked. She didn’t know whether Jiang Haoxuan’s current expression was because of the watch or because of what had happened last night.
Lin Fei’er looked at Jiang Haoxuan. Her tone was like the wind in the early winter, so cold that it made people feel painful.
“Master Jiang, I’ll explain again. I, Lin Fei’er, am frank and forthright. I did not take your things. I don’t know how the watch got into my bag. You can investigate this if you want.”
Jiang Haoxuan looked at Lin Fei’er’s angry expression and a thought flashed though his eyes.
In fact, he was very confused now and he was not in the mood to bother about the Patek Philippe watch.
The most important thing was, was the one with him last night Lin Fei’er?
Jiang Haoxuan has only seen Lin Fei’er several times and his impression of her was that she was Su Wan’s good friend.
Looking closely at her today, she was a typical northern beauty with short hair.
Lin Fei’er had bright facial features and was more than 1.6 meters tall. She was not the same kind of woman as Sheng An’ning, who looked like a timid and lovable little woman.
Jiang Haoxuan’s hand clenched up slightly. He had mixed feelings in his heart and it was very unpleasant.
If it was really Lin Fei’er, how could he have mistaken her for Sheng An’ning?
He vaguely remembered that in his dream last night, the woman in his embrace had short hair.
At that time, he was still wondering when An’ning had her hair cut short, or whether he had drunk too much and lost his mind…
Facing Lin Fei’er’s gloomy face, Jiang Haoxuan sighed in his heart. He said in a low voice, “Miss Lin, can we go out and talk in private?”
Lin Fei’er looked at Jiang Haoxuan sarcastically and her cold and serious tone did not soften.
“Is there anything you can’t talk about here?”
Because he had roughly guessed that he had made a mistake last night, Jiang Haoxuan felt humiliated.
He laughed at himself and with a sincere but threatening voice, he asked, “So, Miss Lin, do you want to talk at the police station? I drank too much last night…as soon as I woke up, my watch was gone. Now, it’s in Miss Lin’s bag…I think it’d be better for us to talk in private. ”
Lin Fei’er’s face changed when she heard the words ‘last night’.
As the person concerned, she certainly understood that Jiang Haoxuan had suddenly paused for a second and mentioned the watch only as an implication. He was actually alluding to another matter.
It was shameless that this man dared to blackmail her!
“Let’s go to the police station then. I don’t care.”
Lin Fei’er took a deep breath and her tone became more and more arrogant.
On one side, Sheng An’ning was about to burst into anger when she saw how Lin Fei’er could be so arrogant after stealing. Just when she was about to mock her, Jiang Haoxuan suddenly grabbed her and motioned to her to stop talking.
Su Wan didn’t understand why Lin Fei’er was behaving a little strangely today. She pinched her palm so she wouldn’t be impulsive.
“Fei’er, I know you have been wronged. Why don’t you and Haoxuan talk about it? That watch really isn’t a big deal, why go to the police station?”
Lin Fei’er knew that Su Wan didn’t know anything. There was a sensation on her nose and her clear voice was a bit hoarse.
“I’ll only give you five minutes to say what you want to.”
After saying this sentence, Lin Fei’er quickly walked out of the hotel entrance and Jiang Haoxuan hurriedly followed.
There were only three people left in the breakfast area. Su Wan looked at Jiang Xuecheng, not knowing why Lin Fei’er was acting strangely.
Sheng An’ning was even more confused.
Who had ever seen such an arrogant thief who dared to tell the owner that he would only be given five minutes after being caught on the spot?
