Chapter 942: Dragging Them Down
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Give me back my bracelet!”
Shen Fanxing and Qian Ziyu became the center of attention again.
Lou Ruoyi walked over and asked, “What happened?”
Qian Ziyu’s anger didn’t subside. He glared at Shen Fanxing and shouted angrily,
“She stole my bracelet!”
“…”
“…”
The moment Qian Ziyu’s sharp voice fell, the entire venue fell silent.
What kind of occasion was this tonight? Although it was a welcoming banquet, everyone present was a lady of high society.
In the eyes of everyone, the word “steal” was enough to give this person a death warning.
Her reputation was completely ruined. What did that mean?
Shen Fanxing stood rooted to the ground in silence for a few seconds before a sneer flashed across her face.
How pervasive.
Everyone looked at Shen Fanxing with suspicion, hatred and disdain.
“Indeed, it’s better to find a wife of equal social status. People from small families have so many shortcomings.”
“That’s right. She’s about to marry into a wealthy family. She can have anything she wants. Why hasn’t she changed her habit?”
“I’m afraid she’s used to it. When she sees something that belongs to someone else, her first reaction is to take it for herself…”
Some people around them whispered to each other. Although their voices were deliberately lowered, they were still light and ethereal.
“She stole your bracelet?” Lou Ruoyi’s face turned cold. “With her character, she wouldn’t do such a thing. As the daughter-in-law of the Bo family, she wouldn’t do such a shameful thing. You have to figure out if you remembered wrongly. Don’t slander others!”
Lou Ruoyi’s cold and angry voice was loud and clear, silencing the whispers around her.
Yuan Sichun frowned and glanced at Lou Ruoyi.
She was clearly unhappy with Shen Fanxing just now, but why was she acting as though nothing had happened? She stood up to protect her.
Perhaps it was because she had suffered a shock tonight that all her defenses were removed. Shen Fanxing suddenly felt a lump in her throat.
This should be the unconditional trust and protection a mother had for her daughter.
She had experienced it before, but after so many years, this feeling suddenly surged out, making her feel nostalgic and touched.
Her eyes trembled slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her indifferent face.
Bo Jinchuan observed her expression and his eyes darkened. He strode towards her and pulled her into his embrace.
“I’ll bring you back first.”
Bo Jinchuan’s appearance made everyone’s faces turn serious. They took a few steps back and didn’t dare to say another word.
“You can’t leave!”
Qian Ziyu suddenly screamed and strode in front of Shen Fanxing and Bo Jinchuan.
An extremely cold aura almost froze the entire venue.
Everyone gasped and didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.
Looking at Bo Jinchuan’s handsome face, Qian Ziyu’s legs went weak.
“Brother… Brother Bo…”
“Get lost.” Bo Jinchuan’s voice was extremely cold.
Shen Fanxing grabbed Bo Jinchuan’s arm and said softly,
“Wait a minute. This matter does need to be resolved. Otherwise, there will be a misunderstanding.”
Even though she had a clear conscience, she couldn’t let others think that Bo Jinchuan’s wife was a thief. The wife of the Bo family’s young master was an unpresentable person.
Neither.
Now, she couldn’t allow herself to be tainted.
Bo Jinchuan frowned and tightened his grip on Shen Fanxing.
Lou Ruoyi said, “This matter needs to be resolved first. Jinchuan, don’t be nervous.”
Nervous.
Lou Ruoyi was more or less surprised.
Although she knew that her son liked Fanxing, she didn’t expect him to be so nervous.
Fanxing didn’t look too good, but she wasn’t at her limit.
He actually wanted to forcefully take Fanxing away when the situation was unclear.
Was Fanxing’s reputation gone?
She didn’t want the Bo family’s reputation anymore?
Did he not care about anything anymore?
“I’ll settle this,” said Bo Jinchuan firmly.
Shen Fanxing pushed Bo Jinchuan away gently and smiled at him.
“Wait for me for two minutes. I’ll settle this myself.”
Bo Jinchuan tightened his grip on her hand, refusing to let go.
Shen Fanxing looked up at him and asked, “Don’t you believe me?”
Bo Jinchuan’s eyes flickered as he lowered his head to stare at her. In the end, he let go of her hand.
Shen Fanxing was touched and she gave him a reassuring smile.
Then, she slowly turned her body to face Qian Ziyu. The smile on her face had already disappeared.
“Without evidence, why do you insist that I took your bracelet?”
At the mention of the bracelet, Qian Ziyu was furious.
“You’re still quibbling? When I bought the bracelet today, Sister Chun, Aunt Bo, and even Aunt Bo were there. You dare to say that you didn’t like my bracelet? Back then, you even had a small argument with me over that bracelet. In the end, I still bought it. You must be indignant, right? That’s why when I wasn’t paying attention in the washroom, you took the bracelet away from me!”
Qian Ziyu had said so much in one breath, and there were four witnesses.
It sounded like there was evidence.
Shen Fanxing sneered and said, “Since I gave it to you back then, I have no intention of insisting on it. If I really like it, you won’t even have the chance to touch it.”
As she spoke, she looked at Yuan Sichun.
“Miss Yuan was present back then, right?”
Everyone’s gaze landed on the silent Yuan Sichun. Bo Jinchuan narrowed his eyes and looked at her.
That cold and sharp gaze was like an arrow shot with ice. Yuan Sichun’s heart trembled and she took half a step back.
Then, she immediately noticed that something was amiss and hurriedly said,
“Sister-in-law, what do you mean? Are you suspecting that I took Ziyu’s bracelet?”
Shen Fanxing smirked and said, “Now that you mention it, it’s not impossible. But what I wanted to ask is, since you were present, didn’t you see if I took her bracelet?”
“If she thinks that I took it, it should be after I came out of the bathroom. I remember that you were tidying your hair in the mirror. She said that her bracelet was on the sink. If I wanted to take it, you should be the easiest to find.”
Yuan Sichun’s face darkened and she gritted her teeth!
This damned woman!
He actually wanted to drag her down with him!
