Chapter 632: Chapter 632: Professor Qiao Slaps and Abuses the Scum (1) Chapter 632: Chapter 632: Professor Qiao Slaps and Abuses the Scum (1) Qin Xuan walked up to Liu Yuxi, subtly giving her a signal with his eyes.

Understanding the cue, Liu Yuxi immediately bit her lower lip, adopting a pitiful look as if she had been bullied, and said in a trembling voice, “No, nothing happened, I might have made a mistake.”

Her appearance, however, elicited sympathy from many people.

“Tell me if there’s anything, don’t be afraid,” Qin Xuan said, encouragingly holding Liu Yuxi’s hand.

Liu Yuxi looked encouraged as well, fearfully glanced at Li Hanzhou, then set her eyes on Qiao Yun, “My new ring is missing, it’s an extremely expensive limited edition worldwide.”

Qin Xuan appropriately expressed surprise, “How could such a thing happen, have you looked for it?”

Pointing at Qiao Yun, Liu Yuxi said anxiously, “The ring was on my hand before she bumped into me, but after she did, the ring was gone.”

Qin Xuan looked at Qiao Yun with astonishment.

Qiao Yun’s expression remained clear and cold; even when publicly accused of theft, her face showed no change in emotion.

She appeared rather interested in watching the back and forth between the opposing two.

For a moment, Qin Xuan thought her scheme had been seen through by Qiao Yun, she clenched her hand, which helped calm her emotions slightly.

With a cold laugh inside, she was determined to expose Qiao Yun’s calm facade, to force her to show panic and fear, letting everyone see what kind of person Qiao Yun was!

Lu Jingzhi, not wanting to watch his sister being wrongly accused any longer, spoke sternly, “You have no proof, just because my sister bumped into you, you accuse her of stealing? So if you walk past me one day, could I also falsely accuse you of theft?”

Liu Yuxi said, “At that time, the people beside me can vouch for me.”

Several young ladies chimed in immediately.

“I can testify, at that time Yuxi was showing me her new ring, then Miss Lu bumped into her.”

“Right, right, after that Yuxi’s ring was gone.”

Someone observing the situation couldn’t help but ask, “Could it have fallen somewhere else?”

Immediately someone defended, “We’ve looked all around, there’s no trace of the ring.”

“When you put it that way, it indeed seems too coincidental, could it really be her who stole it?”

With a chilly look, Li Hanzhou glanced at the person who made that remark, causing them to immediately shrink their neck in fear of speaking further.

The commotion here was not small, and the Lu parents also came over, their faces turned sour immediately upon seeing their treasured daughter surrounded.

“Qiaoqiao, what happened?”

“Xuanxuan, what are you doing?”

Madam Qin also came over, Qin Yuan following behind her, his somewhat frivolous and wicked gaze sweeping over Qiao Yun, lingering for a few seconds before reluctantly moving away.

Li Hanzhou, with keen sensitivity, noticed his gaze and felt a sudden annoyance, disturbed by his little companion being ogled, which made him quite uncomfortable.

Qin Xuan immediately explained the whole situation to them.

Without a second thought, Lu Rui said, “I believe in my daughter’s character, she would never steal anything, there must be some misunderstanding.”

Someone muttered under their breath, “Someone who was raised in the countryside for fifteen years, who knows what kind of person she has turned into.”

Su Mian, who hated it when this was brought up, said angrily, “What’s wrong with being from the countryside? Some people receive a good education and yet have worse character than those from the countryside.”

After she finished speaking, her gaze swept over a few young masters who often indulged in frivolous pursuits and misconduct.

The young masters: “…”

Standing and watching the drama unfold, yet still getting shot?

“This…” Mrs. Qin frowned, feeling unexpectedly troubled. An incident like this occurring at her banquet could potentially lead to severe criticism if not handled well.

A perfectly fine banquet, how could such an event occur? She inevitably directed her anger toward Qiao Yun.

To the Lu Family, it was nothing formidable; whether she stole or not, the issue needed to be resolved first.

Qin Yuan understood everything clearly, when was Qin Xuan ever this compassionate? This incident must have been her doing.

He had previously warned Qin Xuan not to meddle and implicate the Qin Family during the banquet.

Now his look towards Qin Xuan carried a touch of dissatisfaction.

Qin Xuan bit her lip and ignored Qin Yuan. Now that things had reached this point, there was no way she could step back.

As more and more people gathered, Qiao Yun cast a meaningful glance at the uneasy Qin Xuan and spoke lightly, “Tell me, what do you want to do?”

Seeing this, Qin Xuan put on an appearance of fairness and said, “Since both parties are adamant, why not do this? Miss Lu, take out everything from your bag and let’s see if anything’s missing.”

She had long made foolproof preparations, the ring had already been secretly placed in Qiao Yun’s bag by Liu Yuxi.

Just by searching Qiao Yun’s bag, she would be utterly disgraced, and Li Hanzhou would see clearly what kind of person the girl he liked was.

Her words were impartial, some people agreed with this approach, and others thought it embarrassing. Qiao Yun was, after all, a Miss from the Lu Family; searching her bag like this wasn’t proper.

Lu Jingzhi resolutely opposed, “Impossible!”

The Lu couple also didn’t want their daughter to be searched in public based on baseless speculations, as if they would let their daughter be humiliated, dream on.

Li Hanzhou, however, remained silent.

He had a premonition that Qiao Yun might have known something like this would happen from the start.

Unnoticeably, Qin Xuan pinched Liu Yuxi’s hand.

Liu Yuxi got the hint, her eyes immediately reddened, “Miss Qin, since today’s your family’s banquet, I don’t want to cause trouble. Let’s just forget about this, I’ll take it as bad luck.”

Seeing how aggrieved Liu Yuxi was, many young people felt sympathy stirring within them.

“It’s just searching a bag, what’s the big deal? If Miss Lu didn’t take anything, what is there to fear?”

“Not allowing a search now–does that mean guilt is present?”

“Miss Lu, just open it up and let everyone see. If it turns out you were wronged, I’ll apologize on behalf of Miss Liu. You don’t want this matter to escalate, do you?” Mrs. Qin only wanted to quickly resolve the issue.

But in her heart, she had already blacklisted the Lu Family. If there were any gatherings in the future, she definitely would not invite them again–who knew if they would create trouble?

“If you haven’t done anything wrong, why not let us see your bag…”

Qin Xuan was about to add more fuel to the fire when she saw Qiao Yun reach into her small bag, fumble around, then open her palm to reveal a beautifully designed diamond ring to everyone’s view.

“Is this your ring?”

The words Qin Xuan was about to say abruptly stopped. She looked at the ring with surprise and a weird expression.

Although this was indeed the outcome she desired, Qiao Yun’s expression made her feel somewhat uneasy.

The room fell silent for a moment.

No one expected Qiao Yun to take out the ring so straightforwardly, especially with her face still very calm.

Something’s not right, huh? You, a supposed thief, why are you so confident?!
