The woman standing next to Shen Yingying stretched out her hand towards Zhu Jin, "If you return it to me now, I can pretend that nothing happened. If you don't return it to me, you will bear the consequences!"
Are you thinking that you are a thief who stole the necklace?
Zhu Jin looked at the woman in front of him. She was somewhat similar to Shen Yingying in her eyebrows and eyes. She should be the second wife of the Shen family according to those people.
Zhu Jin's silence made Shen Jiaojiao displeased. She stamped her feet anxiously and her words became more and more rude.
"You thief! You don't think you can take away the stolen things without anyone noticing! That's an heirloom of the Shen family!"
The act of directly blaming others made Zhu Jin frown.
"I didn't steal it." Zhu Jin asked, "Excuse me, do you have any evidence that I stole the necklace?"
"You stole it!"
Zhu Jin twisted deeper. For this kind of accusation without evidence, it was more like a pot on her head for no reason. She tried her best to calm down and asked, "So, where is the evidence?"
She will not and does not need to prove her innocence, otherwise she will fall into countless vicious cycles of proving her innocence.
Since the other party is suspicious, the other party needs to provide evidence.
Everyone's eyes fell on Shen Jiaojiao. Shen Jiaojiao was so angry and annoyed that she wanted to tear Zhu Jin's face off.
"Ah, sister, why are you stealing again?"
Zhu Jin's particularly familiar voice came from the crowd. Zhu Yuan walked out from behind Shen Yingying and others. She covered her mouth and blinked her big watery eyes, "Sister, please take out the necklace. That belongs to the Shen family. A family heirloom.”
Zhu Yuan directly confessed to Zhu Jin in a few words.
Zhu Jin, who originally wanted to solve the problem peacefully, knew the moment she saw Zhu Yuan that the matter was not as simple as she thought.
This was probably a trick played by the Shen sisters and Zhu Yuan on themselves, in order to slander themselves for stealing the necklace. They were really well-intentioned.
"What, did you see me taking the Shen family's necklace with your own eyes?" Zhu Jin asked coldly, "Or is it that my sister wants to work with outsiders to force me to admit this unfounded crime?"
Zhu Yuan blinked pretending to be innocent, "Sister, how could you say that to me. I don't want you to make any mistakes again."
"After all, you have stolen my mother's brooch at home before. My mother didn't care about you because she thought we were a family. This does not prove that stealing jewelry is right."
"Sister, I am really doing this for your own good. Please return the necklace to Miss Shen."
Zhu Yuan said it sincerely, but Zhu Jin found it extremely ridiculous.
She also dared to mention the brooch.
She did take a brooch from Gao Weilan, but it was her mother's relic. When did it become her Gao Weilan's? !
Does she, Gao Weilan, dare to care?
It's really shameless that the mistress dares to take possession of the original wife's belongings by force.
"You are slandering if you open your mouth without evidence." Zhu Jin looked coldly and looked at the others calmly, not at all intimidated by the probing eyes and gazes of the people around him.
"Sister..." Zhu Yuan bit her lower lip lightly, "I know you still resent Brother Ji Huai for breaking off the engagement, but you can't steal someone else's necklace!"
Zhu Yuan is still trying to use the public opinions of people around her to suppress herself.
Zhu Jin didn't want to talk to Zhu Yuan anymore, as the other party would just slap more hats on his head.
She looked at Shen Yingying standing there and said, "Miss Shen, are you coming to me to accuse me because of her few words?"
Zhu Jin wanted to bet that he was right about Shen Yingying.
Sure enough, her bet was right.
"My sister left the necklace on the sink when she went to the bathroom. She found that the necklace was missing and went to the bathroom to look. There was no necklace on the sink."
"After we obtained surveillance, we found that you were the only one who entered the bathroom after she left. So, it seems that you are the most likely suspect at the moment."
Shen Yingying spoke clearly and politely, and she said politely, "I'm sorry, my sister was too excited just now and lost her etiquette. I want to ask you if you have seen that necklace?"
After Zhu Jin recalled it, he shook his head and said, "Sorry, Miss Shen, I haven't seen the necklace you mentioned. To be precise, I didn't notice anything on the sink. Maybe I can think about it more carefully. Not somewhere else.”
"Impossible!" Shen Jiaojiao retorted, "It must be in the bathroom! The surveillance also captured it. The necklace was still around my neck when I went in, and it was gone when I came out!"
"Are you trying to steal that necklace?" Shen Jiaojiao's eyes widened and she pointed at Zhu Jin, "You'd better hand over the necklace to me quickly! Otherwise, I will call the police and have the police arrest you!"
Zhu Yuan took the opportunity to persuade, "Sister, please take it out quickly. As long as you take it out now, I will help you and Jiaojiao intercede."
Shen Yingying stood with her eyebrows furrowed and did not say anything to persuade her.
The whispers from the people around him were full of malicious speculations about Zhu Jin.
Zhu Jin was in a dilemma for a moment. She regretted that she went downstairs and returned to the banquet alone. If Huo Jingcheng was here, how could these people have the courage to do this to her.
"Call the police to arrest who?" The man's deep and mellow voice came from outside the crowd.
The crowd that had gathered around to watch the excitement moved out of the way, and Assistant Chen pushed Huo Jingcheng to Zhu Jin's side.
A generous palm wrapped around Zhu Jin's nervous and sweaty hand, and the warm touch gradually relaxed Zhu Jin's tense heartstrings.
She knew that when Huo Jingcheng came, the blame would definitely not be put on her head!
At this moment, Huo Jingcheng is her biggest supporter.
The man's cold gaze swept across everyone present, making the scene instantly quiet as if a mute button had been pressed.
Shen Jiaojiao, who originally reached out to ask for the necklace, shrank her neck and retreated behind Shen Yingying.
Shen Jiaojiao has a natural fear of this cousin who has been praised by her parents all year round. She is afraid of him.
"Tell me, what happened?" Huo Jingcheng asked.
Zhu Yuan and Shen Jiaojiao were both quails at this moment and did not dare to speak.
Shen Yingying sighed secretly in her heart, and she stood up and repeated what she had just said to Zhu Jin.
Huo Jingcheng raised the corner of his mouth and sneered coldly, his voice bone-chilling.
"So, you are going to convict my wife without any conclusive evidence?"
It was too quiet.
Zhu Yuan, who had insisted on criticizing Zhu Jin before, wanted to disappear.
"Is this the Shen family's way of hospitality?"
Another question forced Mrs. Shen, who originally wanted to sit back and watch, to walk downstairs.
She walked up to Shen Yingying, shielding her behind her, with a kind smile on her face, "Jingcheng, don't be angry. In the final analysis, this matter is Jiaojiao and Yingying's fault. Auntie will apologize to you." .”
"She is your wife. Of course we believe her. Maybe Jiaojiao accidentally left her somewhere. We will look for her after the banquet is over."
