While he was wondering, Huo Tianyi had already picked up a glass of wine and handed it to Huo Yunting.

"Mr. Huo, you won't give me this face, right?"

Huo Yunting's cold eyes fell on the wine glass in his hand, and he said expressionlessly: "Sorry, I never drink liquor."

Huo Tianyi raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and said slowly: "There is always a first time for everything."

Huo Yunting said nothing, but his expression was obviously much colder.

Silence spread between the two, and the atmosphere became particularly awkward.

Huo Tianyi's hand was still holding the wine glass, but his eyes had become very unhappy.

"Mr. Huo refuses to give me this face."

Huo Yunting looked calm: "Face is not given by others, but earned by oneself."

Mr. Chen on the side was extremely regretful at this moment. Why did he come to chat with Huo Tianyi?

Now the two of them were fighting like gods, and he, the brat, suffered.

He smiled and said, "If the two Mr. Huo get into an argument over a glass of wine, it will be my fault."

"Let's do this. I'll punish myself with three cups of wine to make amends to the two Mr. Huo!"

With that said, Mr. Chen went to bring three glasses of wine.

Just as he was about to drink, Huo Tianyi stopped him.

"Mr. Chen, this is not your fault. Since Mr. Huo refuses to give me face, I can't force it. But in the future, Jin Yue and Huo may not be able to cooperate."

Anyone can hear the threat in his tone. Mr. Chen smiled awkwardly, always feeling that he was going to offend Huo Yunting tonight.

Huo Yunting smiled and said, "If President Jin Yue is a person who likes to force others to make things difficult for him, then I think there is no need for us to cooperate."

Huo Tianyi's eyes turned cold. Now it was clear that Huo Yunting was no match for him, yet he still dared to speak so wildly in front of him. He would definitely not let him go!

Just as the atmosphere between the two gradually became tense, a scream suddenly came from the side.

"Ah, I lost my necklace!"

The woman's voice was very sharp, resounding throughout the audience, and instantly attracted everyone's attention.

At this moment, in the center of the banquet hall, a woman wearing a pink dress was looking around nervously.

"My necklace, that necklace was given to me by my husband. It's not an expensive thing, but it has a different meaning to me."

"If any of you finds it and returns it to me, I will be very grateful."

Recognizing that the woman was the wife of the second young master of the Sheng family, everyone began to whisper.

The second son of the Sheng family died in a car accident a year ago, leaving only his wife and unborn child.

Fortunately, the Sheng family is kind-hearted and treats Mrs. Sheng Er and his children well, so Mrs. Sheng Er can still continue to attend various occasions.

"Oh my god, someone actually stole the necklace of Second Lady Sheng. It's so heartbreaking!"

"When Second Young Master Sheng had a car accident, Mrs. Sheng almost went with him. She fainted at the funeral and then found out she was pregnant, so she barely survived."

"I've heard of that necklace. It seems to be a token of love given by Mr. Sheng to Mrs. Sheng. Now Mrs. Sheng will be very anxious after losing it!"

Everyone started looking for a necklace for Mrs. Sheng Er.

At this moment, a socialite suddenly pointed at Xiao Muzhen and said, "I just saw her sneaking into the bathroom."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes instantly focused on Xiao Muzhen.

Contempt, ridicule, disdain, all kinds of emotions are there.

Chi Xuan stepped forward and said with a sad face: "Miss Xiao, if you really took Mrs. Sheng Er's necklace, please take it out now. After all, that necklace is not valuable and has a different meaning to her. "

Xiao Muzhen sneered, "Aren't you sure that I must have stolen the necklace?"

Chi Xuan frowned, pursed her lips and said, "That's not what I meant. I'm just worried about Mrs. Sheng Er."

At this moment, the woman beside Chi Xuan spoke.

"Everyone was helping Mrs. Sheng Er find the necklace just now. You were the only one who sneakily ran to the bathroom. Who else could be there besides you?"

Xiao Muzhen looked cold, "Is it illegal to even go to the bathroom?"

"Of course it's not illegal to go to the bathroom, but it is illegal to steal something."

"Yes, she might have hidden the necklace in the bathroom under the pretext of going to the bathroom."

"I really didn't expect Miss Xiao to be such a person."

"I think the necklace may not have been stolen by Miss Xiao. After all, the Xiao family is so rich, how could she steal necklaces?"

"Haha, you didn't know this. Some people are just psychopaths. No matter how rich they are, they still like to steal. They just enjoy the excitement of the process of stealing."

Everyone looked at Xiao Muzhen with incomparable contempt, as if they were sure that she was the thief who stole the necklace of Mrs. Sheng.

Xiao Muzhen raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Since you think I stole it, please provide evidence."

As soon as she finished speaking, a woman in a blue dress suddenly walked out, pointed at her bag and said: "Xiao Muzhen, I just saw you secretly put Mrs. Sheng Er's necklace into your bag. Just search it." If you take your bag, we’ll know whether you stole that necklace or not!”

Xiao Muzhen knew this woman. She went to the bathroom just now and was bumped by this woman when she came out to wash her hands.

At that time, the woman apologized to him, but thinking about it now, it was probably at that time that she secretly put the necklace into her bag.

Seeing that Xiao Muzhen didn't speak, Chi Xuan sneered at the corner of her mouth: "Miss Xiao, if you want to prove your innocence, please open the bag and let us take a look. If you didn't steal the necklace, I can do it in public my apologies."

"Originally I didn't want to use this method, but Mrs. Sheng Er's necklace is of great significance. If she loses it, she will be very sad."

"That's right. If it's true that it wasn't stolen, just open the bag and let us take a look. We'll see if anything happens."

"Haha, someone may be feeling guilty right now. Look at her fingers holding the bag turning white."

"In my opinion, she must have stolen it."

Everyone was talking and looking at Xiao Muzhen with contempt. They didn't expect that the Xiao family was so rich that they would have a daughter who liked to steal other people's things.

Xiao Zhuan on the side could not stand it any longer, and just as he was about to step forward, a tall figure suddenly walked straight towards Xiao Muzhen.

Huo Yunting walked to Xiao Muzhen, protected her behind him, and looked coldly at the women who had just mocked her, "Do you have any evidence to prove that he stole it? If not, why should you search her bag?"

Chi Xuan looked at Huo Yunting and said calmly: "Mr. Huo, if we have evidence, we should call the police now instead of looking at Miss Xiao's bag."

"What you are saying is all nonsense. That woman said she saw Xiao Muzhen stealing Mrs. Sheng Er's necklace. But from the beginning to the end tonight, Xiao Muzhen never had close contact with Mrs. Sheng Er. How was it stolen?"

Xiao Muzhen, who was standing behind him, looked at his back with a flash of shock in his eyes.

Had he been paying attention to her? Otherwise, how could it be possible to know that she had no close contact with Mrs. Sheng Er?

Chi Xuan's face turned pale, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "Doesn't the lack of close contact prove that she didn't take Mrs. Sheng's necklace? It's also possible that the necklace fell on the ground and she picked it up and didn't want to return it!"

Huo Yunting sneered, "Didn't that woman just say that she saw Xiao Muzhen steal Mrs. Sheng Er's necklace? Do you want to string together the confession and come here to cause trouble?"
