The bracelet that Cheng Rui had lost actually turned up in Zhao Zifeng's pocket. Needless to say, she had been framed.
Bai Wei, who was following Sheng Shixun, actually looked quite relaxed as she tried to excuse Zhao Zifeng.
"But I really didn't take it!"
Zhao Zifeng wasn't a fool and naturally wouldn't admit it.
"You're really good at telling lies with your eyes open!"
Cheng Rui sneered. "Now that the evidence is right here, you still dare to be stubborn?"
"Right!"
Bai Wei chimed in from behind. "It's just a little bracelet. For Rui Rui, it's just a trifle. As long as you admit your mistake, we can still be good sisters..."
"Who wants to be your good sister?"
Before Bai Wei could finish her sentence, I had already put my arm around Zhao Zifeng's with a smile. I casually took the chain from her hand. "Trying to pass off a decorative ribbon as a diamond bracelet. Isn't this just deliberately trying to extort someone?"
"What did you say?!"
Cheng Rui and Bai Wei's faces both changed.
"Are you guys stupid, or do you think we are?"
I took a look at the shiny little chain and casually tossed it on the ground in front of me. "Take a look for yourselves. What on earth is this?"
Cheng Rui was shocked and quickly rushed forward.
Her diamond bracelet was newly bought. Even after a discount at a luxury store in Hong Kong, it had cost over 50,000.
Now seeing me just toss it on the ground, she was so heart - broken that she quickly picked it up.
"... What, what is this?!"
Cheng Rui grabbed the chain and examined it closely. Her face immediately changed drastically. "Where's my bracelet?!"
"Your bracelet? You should ask yourself, shouldn't you?"
The smile on my face remained as I looked at Cheng Rui's pale face. "Why bother asking us?"
"But! But I clearly told..."
Cheng Rui got anxious and turned to look at Bai Wei. Although Bai Wei didn't understand why Cheng Rui's face had changed so much, she knew something was wrong. She walked up to Cheng Rui and looked at the chain in her hand.
The crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling of the lounge emitted a warm light, making the crystals on the little chain in Cheng Rui's palm sparkle. But it wasn't a diamond bracelet at all. It was just an ordinary rhinestone chain used for decoration.
"How could this happen?!"
Cheng Rui grabbed Bai Wei's hand and her voice was tinged with a sob in her anxiety. "How did my bracelet turn into this?"
"Miss Zhao, it turns out you're like a magpie!"
Bai Wei didn't let Cheng Rui say anything else. She raised her voice a bit and looked at us. "You like to steal these cheap shiny things everywhere!"
"Miss Bai, how can you just throw around the word'steal'?"
I didn't give an inch. "This is the decorative chain on Miss Zhao's dress. It's her own thing!"
With that, I snatched the chain from Cheng Rui's hand, walked back to Zhao Zifeng, and re - hung the little chain on her waist of the light - blue dress. There were just two small buckles there that fit the decorative chain perfectly. Anyone could tell that this was originally part of the dress.
"... Where's my bracelet?! Wei Wei, where's my bracelet?!"
Cheng Rui finally got really anxious. She reached out and grabbed Bai Wei's arm. "I begged my mom for ages before she bought it for me. If it's really lost..."
"What does it have to do with me?"
Bai Wei didn't expect Cheng Rui to suddenly turn on her. "Rui Rui, it's your own bracelet. Think again about where you put it!"
In this situation, Bai Wei wasn't a fool. She could clearly tell that we had already come up with a way to deal with their prank. We had played a trick of swapping the real thing with a fake one and trapped them instead.
It was just that this Cheng Rui was so impatient. As soon as something went wrong, she immediately revealed their secretly - planned scheme.
Naturally, Bai Wei didn't want to get involved. She immediately retreated to Sheng Shixun's side and assumed an attitude of having nothing to do with it.
"I... I!!"
Seeing Bai Wei's reaction, Cheng Rui got angry. "The waiter was the one you found. You told me to give the bracelet to him and let him find an opportunity to slip it into Zhao Zifeng's pocket! Now that the thing is missing, who else should I turn to but you?!"
Cheng Rui was panicking. She spoke so fast and urgently that everyone present could hear clearly. All eyes fell on Bai Wei.
"Rui Rui, you're just too naive." There was still that calm smile on Bai Wei's face, but she had already cursed Cheng Rui countless times in her heart. "How could you just hand over such a valuable thing to a stranger?"
Sheng Shixun's face also darkened. He had hosted so many banquets and balls. Naturally, he knew the petty schemes of intrigue among women.
As long as it didn't involve the face of the host family, Sheng Shixun was quite happy to have such little episodes to add some topics of conversation to the banquet.
However, tonight's incident had actually involved an employee of the Sheng family and turned into an ugly thing aimed at the Sheng family. Naturally, Sheng Shixun couldn't just ignore it.
"Miss Cheng, you said... you gave the bracelet to a service staff?"
Although Sheng Shixun was angry inside, his voice was still gentle as he asked.
"Uh... It was the waiter that Bai Wei found. I don't know him!!"
Cheng Rui began to regret at this moment. It was clearly Bai Wei who had a conflict with us, but in the end, it was herself who suffered the loss and lost face.
"Rui Rui, it's not right for you to say that. We can check the surveillance. When did I ever find a waiter?!"
Bai Wei always did things carefully. Since she was so calm, she mustn't have left any evidence.
Cheng Rui really couldn't hold it in anymore. She glared at Bai Wei hatefully, then suddenly rushed towards me and Zhao Zifeng. She reached out and grabbed Zhao Zifeng's arm. "Miss Zhao, wasn't there a waiter who bumped into you just now? It was that guy who took my bracelet. Do you still remember what he looks like?"
Zhao Zifeng already knew that she had become the target of these boring women's pranks. She didn't want to be a "good - Samaritan" and help those who had framed her by providing evidence.
"Sorry, I have face - blindness!"
Zhao Zifeng shook off her arm and grabbed my hand with a smile. "Fortunately, Xing He has the ability to put some kind of bug on that bastard... If you want someone to help you, why don't you beg her? What's the use of looking for me?!"
As she said that, she winked at me.
This elf - like girl was really cute. She was going to give me a favor for free!
The matter had already caused quite a stir. Many people were watching from a distance. As a fortune - teller, if I didn't take this opportunity to make a name for myself, wouldn't I be wasting the elaborate scheme of Bai Wei and Cheng Rui?
Sure enough, after hearing Zhao Zifeng's words, there was a glimmer of surprise on Cheng Rui's face, which was then replaced by a pleading look. "Miss Du, you're a fortune - teller that even Sister Su Su trusts. Please, help me find that waiter! Or at least find the bracelet!"
