After the scumbag cheated on me, I turned around and married the heir to a wealthy family.

"There's no need to wait for the party to end."

Zhu Jin's words were beyond everyone's expectations.

Everyone thought she would hide behind Huo Jingcheng and accept his protection and escape, but no one expected that she would come forward on her own initiative.

Mrs. Shen cast her eyes curiously in the direction of Zhu Jin, with a little look and inquiry.

She had been watching her for a long time on the second floor. This young lady from the Zhu family had always been neither humble nor overbearing, and could handle herself well in the public eye.

Even though Zhu Jin's status was embarrassing, Mrs. Shen still had a good impression of her because of her performance.

"You are the Miss Zhu family who married Jingcheng, Zhu Jin. I am Jingcheng's aunt, so you are my nephew-in-law." Mrs. Shen stepped forward, took Zhu Jin's hand and patted it gently, " This is our fault, I hope you don’t mind.”

Zhu Jin did not climb up the pole, but acted calmly and generously, "It's okay. Miss Shen has lost something important, and everyone can understand her anxiety."

"I want to prove my innocence here."

Zhu Jin did not want to drag this matter until the end of the banquet.

After the banquet, no one knows whether the matter will be investigated clearly.

While waiting for the results of the investigation to come out, his notoriety is likely to spread quickly throughout Beijing after Zhu Yuan's embellished description just now.

She is unwilling and does not want to bear the burden of those unexplained crimes.

Nowadays, the best and fastest solution is to deal with it now, prove your innocence in public and put an end to rumors.

"Oh? Miss Zhu, tell me if you have any good ideas." Mrs. Shen asked curiously.

Zhu Jin said, "I can ask you or the Shen family's maid to search me to make sure that the so-called necklace is not on me."

"Similarly, I hope too. If it is determined that the theft of the necklace has nothing to do with me, can I check on Miss Shen?"

Zhu Jin explained, "Perhaps, Miss Shen accidentally forgot the necklace somewhere on her body."

She can accept a body search to prove her innocence, but she cannot be the only one to prove her innocence!

After hearing this, Shen Jiaojiao immediately retorted, "No way! You're talking nonsense! I just looked for it several times!"

Mrs. Shen nodded in agreement.

This method is simple and produces results quickly.

With Mrs. Shen's consent, Zhu Jin turned around and entered the small room with the maid beside Mrs. Shen.

Time passed by, everyone whispered, made eye contact, and were curious about the direction this matter would develop.

After all, the Shen and Huo families were related by marriage, but now it was possible for them to have a disagreement in public.

If it is confirmed that Zhu Jin stole the necklace, it may be difficult to restore the relationship between the two families.

Ten minutes later, Zhu Jin and the maid came out.

The maid shook her head at Mrs. Shen, indicating no.

Mrs. Shen was convinced, this result was within her expectation.

Shen Jiaojiao suddenly shouted at this moment, "Who knows if you were afraid of being discovered, so you just threw the necklace away!"

The unfounded accusations made Mrs. Shen's face turn cold, and Shen Jiaojiao's reaction made her heart sink even more.

Mrs. Shen frowned and scolded the other party in a cold tone, "Jiaojiao!"

"Auntie." Shen Jiaojiao pouted, stepped forward and took Mrs. Shen's arm and said coquettishly, "It's not impossible. Besides, she was the only one who entered and exited the surveillance camera at that time, so she must have stolen it!"

Seeing her unrepentant look, Mrs. Shen's face became even colder.

She pulled her arms out of her arms and said in a serious tone, "Jiaojiao, you can't say such things without evidence."

Shen Jiaojiao was startled. She didn't expect that her aunt who usually loved her would accuse her in public.

"But……"

Before Shen Jiaojiao could finish speaking, Mrs. Shen interrupted her, "Jiaojiao, go in with Aunt Fang and ask her to help you search. Maybe you accidentally missed it somewhere."

Shen Jiaojiao bit her lower lip, her face full of resistance, but she could only nod in agreement.

Zhu Jin walked back to Huo Jingcheng's side calmly, and held the other person tightly with their fingers interlocked.

In less than two minutes, Aunt Fang walked out with a platinum necklace inlaid with green and transparent emeralds. "Madam, I found it. Miss Jiaojiao put the necklace in the middle of her backpack. She didn't notice it and thought it was lost."

Mrs. Shen's beautifully trimmed eyebrows frowned slightly, and she glanced at Shen Jiaojiao reproachfully.

Shen Jiaojiao lowered her head and followed Aunt Fang, feeling full of confusion.

She remembered that she had clearly looked for it before, but the necklace was not in the backpack's compartment at all, so why did it appear in the backpack again.

"Put the necklace back in the safe." Mrs. Shen ordered.

"Aunt, I..."

Mrs. Shen interrupted her in time and turned to show a gentle and decent smile to the guests in front of her. "Sorry, this matter is our Shen family's fault. It was a waste of everyone's precious time."

"Our Shen family has prepared compensation gifts and will distribute them to everyone when we leave. What happened today is just a misunderstanding. I hope everyone can forget the misunderstanding just now and have good food, drink and fun."

After saying that, Mrs. Shen turned around and said, "Jingcheng, after things are settled here, my aunt wants to talk to you about something. You and Miss Zhu wait nearby, okay?"

Huo Jingcheng nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Shen went to deal with the trouble caused by this incident, while Huo Jingcheng and Zhu Jin came to the small balcony where no one was paying attention to enjoy the air.

"How did you know the thing was on you?" Huo Jingcheng asked curiously.

Something happened suddenly. Zhu Jin handed the necklace to Huo Jingcheng with the help of their clasped hands.

When everyone's attention was attracted by Zhu Jin, Huo Jingcheng handed the necklace to Assistant Chen.

Everyone who was concerned about whether Zhu Jin had a necklace on her body did not notice the figures approaching the Shen sisters.

"When Zhu Yuan came forward, I realized something was wrong."

"She insisted on blaming the incident on me and didn't listen to anything. It looked like she had planned it for a long time." Zhu Jin explained, "They seemed to be sure that the necklace was on me."

There is only one possibility that can make them so sure.

Without Zhu Jin's knowledge, someone else had put the necklace on her body.

The reason why those people didn't come directly to get the necklace was probably because they wanted to use this incident to spread bad remarks about Zhu Jin and ruin Zhu Jin's reputation.

It was their purpose that allowed Zhu Jin to take a breather and make a beautiful comeback.

A flash of light flashed through his narrow eyes, and Huo Jingcheng's eyes showed his appreciation for Zhu Jin.

Don't be afraid in the face of danger, don't be surprised by changes.

She is indeed the woman I like.

"But I still have to thank the second master..." Under Huo Jingcheng's gaze, Zhu Jin changed his title, "Husband's help. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to handle this matter so beautifully."

"You handled this matter very well." Huo Jingcheng thought for a while and added, "Now that you are my wife, you represent my face. If anyone bullies you again, just fight back."

"If something happens, I'll take care of it for you."
