Mr Gu’s First Doting Marriage - Chapter 251

Chapter 251: Chapter 252: You are a beauty, why become a thief

Translator: 549690339

Shen Manbing dumped everything out of her purse in one go.

These were all expensive cosmetics, including the two pieces of jewelry that were auctioned for fifty million today. She casually dumped them on the ground.

Finally, in her anger, she even smashed the bag.

The bag, also sponsored by a top-tier brand and not privately owned, was covered in countless diamonds and is worth a fortune.

Such an act of caprice was beyond everyone’s expectation.

But there was indeed no diamond in the bag.

If the gemstones were stolen tonight, they must still be within the exhibition hall.

Outside, numerous people were currently using infrared sensors to scan and search for it, but they were unable to locate it.

The most significant possibility was that the thief was hiding it on their person.

Yet, the two prime suspects were wearing form-hugging evening gowns without a single pocket, which meant they naturally couldn’t hide anything on their bodies.

The only possibility left was their handbags.

No wonder the security manager insisted on inspecting them.

Despite Shen Manbing emptying her bag, the security manager still manually inspected it himself.

Finally, he repacked everything and returned it to Shen Manbing, “Miss Shen, I’m sorry. We’re just doing our job. Please understand.”

Shen Manbing naturally wouldn’t let it slide, “Wait for my lawyer’s letter tomorrow.”

After inspecting Shen Manbing’s bag, the security manager walked up to Xia Yangyang, “Miss Xia, we’re very sorry, but we must also inspect your handbag. If you feel uncomfortable doing it here, we can move to another room.”

Xia Yangyang didn’t think twice and handed her bag over.

She had nothing to hide, she didn’t steal anything, so she was not afraid of being inspected.

Given Shen Manbing had already proven her innocence, if she acted suspiciously now, it would actually raise suspicion.

Moreover, just a few minutes ago, Xia Yangyang had opened her own bag to check the time on her phone, and there was absolutely nothing inside.

Xia Yangyang was not afraid of having it checked.

The security manager took Xia Yangyang¹ s handbag and opened it.

After searching for a while, his expression suddenly changed dramatically.

The next second, a ruby necklace appeared in the hands of the security manager.

He presented the necklace to Xia Yangyang, “Miss Xia, how do you explain this?”

The air in the exhibition hall seemed to freeze in an instant.

And then it exploded.

It was like boiling, bubbling hot oil suddenly splashed with a drop of water, causing an uncontrollable outburst.

“It is actually her! The wife of Shengyuan’s president has actually committed such a petty theft.”

“She has utterly disgraced Mr. Gu and the Gu Family.”

“A beautiful woman, but acting like a thief.”

Xia Yangyang was completely stunned.

How could this happen?

She definitely didn’t steal the gemstone, but the gemstone had indeed appeared in her bag.

That left only one possibility.

Someone set her up on purpose.

And the only person Xia Yangyang could think of was Shen Manbing.

Shen Manbing seemed to hate her deeply, and it was only her and Shen Manbing who had been to this place.

Xia Yangyang’s fingers clenched tightly.

She cast a cold glance at Shen Manbing.

The expression on Shen Manbing’s face was complex. Instead of looking triumphant, it was more like scorn.

As expected of an acting queen, her performance was impeccable.

Xia Yangyang responded, “I didn’t steal the gemstone. I have no idea how this gemstone ended up in my bag. If you don’t believe me, call the police and investigate the matter thoroughly.”

She wouldn’t admit to something she didn’t do.

The gossip from the people around was particularly grating.

“Who would’ve thought she would still be denying it now? Isn’t the item and the culprit being caught together the best evidence?”

“The hundred-year reputation of the Gu Family has been ruined by a woman.”

“Look at that aloof attitude of hers. She acts like a victim, as if everyone is wronging her. It’s a performance befitting of a little starlet who rose to stardom the moment she debuted. She truly knows how to act.”
