Ch 122: Nan Liu Framed
Having heard Gu Yun’s words, Shangguan Yan smiled: “Young Master Gu, you broke up with Miss Wen just like that, wouldn’t you feel any regret?”
“And confessing to another girl right after breaking up… it’s hard for me to believe that Young Master Gu is a devoted person.”
Gu Yun patted his chest and said confidently:
“No, Miss Shangguan, my liking for you is genuine! You can investigate me. Right now, it’s just me pursuing you unilaterally; you don’t need to agree immediately. When you feel my sincerity, you can agree to be my girlfriend!”
“Then Young Master Gu, you’d better perform well.”
Shangguan Yan didn’t speak, smiled slightly, and turned to leave.
Gu Yun followed closely behind Shangguan Yan.
Gu Yun didn’t notice the slight upward curve of Shangguan Yan’s lips.
In Shangguan Yan’s opinion, Gu Yun’s appetite had been whetted by her.
Currently, Gu Yun was merely a male creature controlled by hormones.
At this time, if she proposed some conditions, as long as they weren’t excessive, Gu Yun should fulfill them.
Shangguan Yan’s next step was to subtly solicit benefits and then give him a taste of sweetness…
“Sigh, another young master seduced by beauty…”
“Is that Young Master Gu? I heard that he just returned to the country, wasn’t he in love with Wen Chuhan from the Wen Family? Why is he now entangled with Shangguan Yan?”
“Shangguan Yan, that vixen, has seduced countless men, and I don’t know how many families have been ruined because of her…”
“But Gu Yun just returned to the country, he doesn’t know Shangguan Yan’s reputation in the circle, no wonder…”
The people around saw Shangguan Yan and Gu Yun walking together, and they whispered, with expressions of gossip and schadenfreude.
In the wealthy family circles, it seems harmonious, but actually
Shangguan Yan originally wanted to find Shangguan Chi.
But at that moment, a quarrel came from the lobby; it sounded like Shangguan Chi.
The guests present formed a circle, seemingly watching the excitement.
Shangguan Yan also went over, and Gu Yun naturally followed.
They saw Shangguan Chi confronting a man and a woman, and there was also a waiter; the atmosphere was tense.
The man and woman were Nan Liu and Bai Wangshu.
“Still saying you didn’t steal it? Now the evidence is here. My watch was found in your pocket, do you still want to deny it?”
Shangguan Chi angrily pointed at Nan Liu.
“Why would I steal your watch? It’s not like I’m lacking a watch!” Nan Liu retorted sharply.
“Humph? Didn’t steal it? Then why is my watch in your pocket? This is a Rolex. With your shabby appearance that can’t even afford a suit, don’t tell me you can afford this million-dollar Rolex!”
Shangguan Chi stated firmly.
Hearing the price of the watch, Nan Liu was also shocked.
However, Nan Liu soon realized that Shangguan Chi was definitely trying to frame him.
“Impossible! My boyfriend isn’t that kind of person, even if we are poor… we wouldn’t steal your watch!” Bai Wangshu said, her face flushed.
“Yes, it must have been the waiter who put the watch in my pocket when he searched me!”
Nan Liu pointed at the waiter.
The waiter looked terrified: “I dare not, I dare not, how dare I do such a thing in front of so many important people…”
Then, the waiter looked nervously at Shangguan Chi.
Shangguan Chi also yelled to cover up: “How is that possible? Don’t try to shift the blame to the waiter!”
“When I took off my watch, I only had contact with the two of you!”
“You… you’re so vicious!” Bai Wangshu blushed.
“Vicious? Your boyfriend stole my things, and you say I’m vicious? Miss Bai, instead of apologizing to me, you are blaming me?”
Bai Wangshu trembled as she pointed at Shangguan Chi, a sense of helplessness washed over her.
Immediately, blatant accusations came from the surroundings.
“Miss Bai from the Bai Family is really something, she dares to bring anyone to the banquet.”
“Look at this kid’s cheap suit, he probably can’t even afford 10,000 yuan, where would he buy a Rolex? He probably saw the money and wanted to steal the watch to sell it, but he was caught by Young Master Shangguan, and now he’s still denying it…”
“That’s right, he’s being stubborn!”
“What kind of thief has the face to attend this gathering?”
“Wangshu, apologize. Young Master Shangguan is magnanimous; he won’t make a fuss about it.”
“…”
The indiscriminate accusations from the people around made Bai Wangshu feel desperate.
Nan Liu and Bai Wangshu’s faces turned pale. They knew that if their status were higher, perhaps others wouldn’t have judged them so subjectively.
Ultimately, it was because of their low status that they were ostracized by these high-ranking powerful figures.
Shangguan Yan came out at this time and asked Shangguan Chi: “What’s going on?”
Seeing Shangguan Yan, Shangguan Chi became even more confident:
“Sister, you’re finally here. This poor kid is trying to take advantage of me!”
Shangguan Chi looked at Nan Liu and said angrily: “Remember the Rolex watch you gave me as a birthday gift? It was stolen by this kid!”
“You’re lying! You must have bribed the waiter to put it in my pocket!”
Nan Liu’s face flushed with anxiety; for the first time, he felt that his defense was so powerless.
“Humph! I only talked to you two, and only when I was talking to you did I take off the watch, and then it was gone. If it wasn’t for the fact that this watch was a birthday gift from my sister, I wouldn’t even care!”
“Then I found Nan Liu, and he refused to admit it. I had a waiter search him, and the watch was found in Nan Liu’s pocket!”
“This watch is a limited edition Rolex, it’s a gift from my sister! I remember it very clearly! And the Bai Family is already insolvent, how could they afford it!”
“Nan Liu, you’re Bai Wangshu’s boyfriend after all, why would you do such a disgraceful thing?”
“And Miss Bai, if your Bai Family is short of money, just tell me, why do you have to steal my watch?”
Shangguan Chi spoke confidently, but he was secretly sneering and secretly rejoicing in his heart.
Of course, all this was directed and acted by Shangguan Chi.
The waiter was naturally bought off by Shangguan Chi.
‘Look, with my status as the Young Master of the Shangguan Family, everyone will only believe me!’
Everyone believed this argument.
After all, many of the family forces present were not as powerful as the Shangguan Family.
In their minds, the Shangguan Family was a superior existence.
How could the Young Master of the Shangguan Family falsely accuse someone for a watch?
This is the power of preconceived notions.
Bullying the weak, perhaps this is what it is.
After listening, Shangguan Yan was silent for a moment, then walked to Nan Liu and Bai Wangshu, her eyes cold.
Shangguan Yan’s domineering and natural aura overwhelmed Bai Wangshu and Nan Liu.
“Apologize to my brother, then get out, and I’ll consider not pursuing this matter further.”
Shangguan Yan’s unquestionable tone made everyone present gasp!
This Shangguan Family’s elder sister is even more domineering than her brother! Even more unsympathetic!
