兔子助手

With Xuan Yi\'s support, Cousin Sister immediately said, "If you\'re not guilty, why won\'t you let me look in your bag? I\'m sure you\'re suspicious."

"Don\'t you understand? I already said she\'s my girlfriend. If she wants something, can\'t I give it to her? Why would she need to steal a necklace?" Luo Zhou insisted on defending her.

Tang also spoke up, "Why is it that when you lose something, you immediately suspect me? Why should I have to prove my innocence just because of your accusations? That\'s not right."

In truth, Tang had already started to worry and doubt, especially since she had experienced firsthand how unfriendly Xuan Yi and Cousin Sister were towards her.

But just then, Cousin Sister suddenly pointed at the bracelet on the table and exclaimed, "Ah, it\'s the same style as my cousin\'s necklace!"

Without waiting for anyone\'s reaction, Cousin Sister picked up the bracelet and said, "Indeed! Whose is this? It\'s yours, isn\'t it?"

Tang looked at the bracelet with an uncomfortable expression. "This is what I just returned to Young Master Luo."

"So it was yours!" Cousin Sister said excitedly.

"I remember that necklace Luo Zhou gave me came with a matching bracelet. Is this it?" Xuan Yi suddenly spoke up.

With this revelation, the scene immediately erupted into chaos.

Various voices merged into one message:

"What? The authentic piece for his sister-in-law, and just a complementary gift for his girlfriend? Seems Young Master Luo doesn\'t think much of his own girlfriend. No wonder he kept it hidden." At this point, the onlookers hadn\'t yet imagined the more outrageous truth; they only assumed Luo Zhou looked down on his girlfriend and was just trying to appease her with trinkets.

Tang felt like she had been slapped in the face. Even when breaking up with Luo Zhou, she hadn\'t wanted to expose this matter and argue with him about it. It was humiliating for her, especially since she had once treasured that bracelet so dearly.

Luo Zhou froze completely. Though he hadn\'t felt he\'d done anything wrong before, he now felt so guilty he wished he could turn back time. He was extremely anxious inside but didn\'t dare look at Tang, instead glaring fiercely at Xuan Yi and Cousin Sister.

"Did you have a fight with Luo Zhou and want to use my necklace to confront him? You could have just said so," Xuan Yi said, playing the good person.

"Theft is theft. She probably couldn\'t stand that Brother Luo Zhou didn\'t value her, so she stole the necklace for revenge," Cousin Sister immediately added.

After this explanation, it seemed that even if Tang was Luo Zhou\'s girlfriend, her theft became somewhat understandable.

"Both of you, shut up!" Luo Zhou suddenly lost his temper, but was immediately reprimanded by Mr. and Mrs. Luo.

"Is that how you speak to your sister-in-law!" Mr. Luo defended.

"If your girlfriend really took it, just have her return it. We won\'t pursue the matter further," Mrs. Luo said, already showing clear dislike for Tang.

The couple knew their second son well. His current display of angry embarrassment surely meant he was guilty about something. They couldn\'t think of anything else that would make Luo Zhou feel guilty, so they naturally assumed Tang had stolen the item to create drama with him.

While couples\' quarrels weren\'t unusual, this behavior was very improper and had ruined their wine tasting party.

Tang\'s eyes had turned red from all the accusations.

"Mom, Dad, don\'t you believe..."

But before Luo Zhou could finish speaking, Cousin Sister suddenly lunged forward, grabbed Tang\'s bag, and quickly turned it upside down, rummaging through its contents. Various items scattered out, and finally, a beautiful necklace fell out, with the same luster and material as the bracelet, instantly silencing everyone present.

Luo Zhou looked at the necklace in disbelief, then turned to Tang with a bewildered expression.

Tang stared at the necklace in shock. Although she had been mentally prepared, she still panicked for a moment. "It wasn\'t me. Someone framed me." At this point, she suddenly looked up at Xuan Yi. "It was you!"

The surrounding crowd had already started discussing among themselves, but Tang\'s sudden accusation made everyone point fingers at her, as no one would believe that Xuan Yi would use her own necklace to frame her – it seemed too absurd.

Xuan Yi also responded pitifully, "I don\'t blame you for stealing the necklace to confront Luo Zhou, but you can\'t accuse me just because you\'ve been exposed."

Tang threw caution to the wind, "It was you. You put it in my bag when I wasn\'t paying attention to frame me, because you..."

The sudden turn of events had even left Ji Fei confused, but upon hearing this crucial point, she immediately became excited.

[Say it! Say it! Just break everything open and kill them all! No one should get away with this!]

However, Tang actually stopped. She looked at Luo Zhou and suddenly said, "She framed me. Do you believe me?"

[What are you doing asking a man to choose at a time like this? Didn\'t you already remove your love-colored glasses?]

Perhaps everyone thought Tang was just begging her boyfriend to believe her.

But Qin Xian didn\'t see it that way.

He believed Tang had clearly assessed the situation. She knew that if she revealed the shocking relationship between sister-in-law and brother-in-law, she would need evidence; otherwise, she would be viciously attacked. People would think she was making up stories about the necklace and bracelet connection just to escape guilt.

But how could she possibly have evidence unless Luo Zhou himself stepped forward to admit his relationship with his sister-in-law? Only then would Xuan Yi\'s motive for framing someone become plausible.

However, doing so would completely shatter the Luo family\'s harmony. Luo Zhou probably wouldn\'t do it.

Tang had long lost trust in Luo Zhou and didn\'t dare to gamble, especially since she couldn\'t prove her innocence in this matter anyway.

The crime scene was in the makeup room, which had no surveillance cameras, making it impossible to prove anything. Even if Tang insisted she was wronged and framed, while she might not be convicted, she would be condemned in everyone\'s eyes.

It was the simplest frame-up, yet the most impossible to overcome.

After recognizing all these realities, she desperately realized she could only pin her hopes on Luo Zhou. She was adaptable enough to directly ask for his help.

That\'s why she asked that question.

If Luo Zhou said he believed her, it would prove he had doubts about his sister-in-law\'s actions and could naturally help clear her name. But if Luo Zhou didn\'t believe her, there would be no point in saying anything more.

However, Qin Xian felt Tang would likely be disappointed.

He lowered his head expressionlessly and operated his phone for a moment.

Meanwhile, Luo Zhou was stunned by Tang\'s question. He looked at Xuan Yi, who had red-rimmed eyes and a face full of grievance, seeming to want to speak but holding back.

Luo Zhou truly didn\'t know the truth; he had only been hostile to Xuan Yi because he hated having his hidden matters exposed.

And now, with Tang directly accusing Xuan Yi of being the criminal, this... how could this be possible? Why would Xuan Yi do such a thing?

His once most deeply cherished love interest couldn\'t instantly transform into a villain in his mind, so he instinctively leaned towards believing Xuan Yi.

Of course, he absolutely believed Tang as well.

There must be some misunderstanding here, like maybe the item had fallen into the bag accidentally? Or perhaps... perhaps it was that Cousin Sister\'s doing deliberately.

Yes, that Cousin Sister had seemed very suspicious.

"Was it you? You\'ve been acting strange from the start. How could you find the necklace so accurately? Didn\'t you plant it there yourself? You went into the makeup room, it must have been you," Luo Zhou didn\'t answer Tang\'s question, instead choosing a third option.

This proved he believed both his sister-in-law and his girlfriend.

But his response not only caused Cousin Sister to create an uproar, but also made Tang let out a soft, cold laugh and say, "Then let\'s call the police. I\'m willing to prove my innocence to them."

The crowd erupted again, surprised that the matter had escalated so far. Was she truly innocent or just stubbornly refusing to admit guilt?

Luo Fei cleared his throat and was about to stand up, since he was a police officer and could handle this officially. He was quite curious about this matter as well.

However, Tang\'s suggestion was rejected as Mr. and Mrs. Luo stepped in, saying, "What\'s the point of calling the police? We won\'t pursue this matter. The item has been found, let\'s drop it. Luo Zhou, have a good talk with your girlfriend."

Luo Zhou hesitated for a moment, feeling that bringing such a family matter to the police station was inappropriate. When he saw Luo Fei about to stand up beside him, he pressed down on his shoulder. Finally, he turned to Tang with extreme frustration and said, "Let it go. I believe you anyway. Let\'s talk to my parents properly later, and they\'ll believe you too."

Tang could barely hold back her tears. "So, will everyone here believe that I\'m innocent? Can you guarantee that when this spreads, I\'ll be seen as the innocent one?"

Luo Zhou\'s face darkened as if his facade had been stripped away. "Isn\'t it enough that I believe you? I can guarantee you a worry-free life in the future. Besides, if you push this further, are you sure you can prove your innocence? Don\'t end up digging yourself into a hole."

Luo Zhou was indeed worried about how the situation might develop. What if Tang couldn\'t defend herself in the end and ended up with a criminal record? It would be better to just let it go.

[How laughable! Such pretty words, but it\'s just sacrificing the weakest one for the sake of harmony. After all, Tang is the one with the least status in your eyes. Indeed, Luo Zhou, you really look down on Tang - you\'re even worse than I thought. Damn it, isn\'t Luo Fei a police officer? Do something! The others... right, they\'re all Luo Zhou\'s friends, with various family connections and long-standing relationships. Friends are always more biased towards each other; you can\'t expect them to stab their friend in the back for a stranger.]

Upon hearing Luo Zhou\'s words, Tang couldn\'t stop her tears.

She knew that if this matter was simply brushed aside, her reputation would be ruined, but... but who could help her?

Could she expect a miracle to fall from the sky to help her?

She didn\'t know anyone here... Suddenly, images of Ji Fei helping numerous female artists on the entertainment industry stage flashed through her mind, along with the recent assistance.

But... but asking Teacher Ji for help would be useless too, after all, there was truly no solution to this situation.

Ji Fei felt dejected, as her identity meant she couldn\'t speak up about the uncle-sister-in-law issue without evidence.

She couldn\'t help glancing at Qin Xian a couple of times but felt she couldn\'t ask him to expose his own brother. Besides, exposing the truth wouldn\'t solve the problem anyway.

Qin Xian noticed Ji Fei\'s glances and turned to look at her. "What\'s wrong?"

Aliali: 6753f080ab2494648efe0583

Ji Fei pressed her lips together, feeling somewhat sullen.

Suddenly, Qin Xian smiled and reached out to grasp Ji Fei\'s delicate chin.

Ji Fei froze, looking at Qin Xian in disbelief.

[Flirting at a time like this?]

Qin Xian stiffened, but ultimately turned Ji Fei\'s head to one side with an indulgent yet helpless touch on her chin.

On that side was a large screen that had been playing various wine promotional videos.

Suddenly, the video changed.

A voice rang out.

"I hope you don\'t blame him. He didn\'t mean to do this... there were... there were reasons for it."

In that instant, everyone turned to look at the big screen.
