Chapter 140 Becomes a Laughing Chapter
Chen Hongwei seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, no wonder I can't remember these things. It turns out that Lin Zhiyi got me drunk last time when he asked me out for dinner and tricked me into saying this. How can this count?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi's heart skipped a beat and his lips opened slightly, but no sound came out, as if he was held in place by an invisible force.
She still hadn't thought it through.
She thought Chen Hongwei would deny it, but she didn't expect that he could admit to saying these words in this way.
Gong Yan stepped down gracefully, walked up to Lin Zhiyi and extended his hand.
"Zhiyi, I believe you would not steal the gems. There must be some misunderstanding. Believe me, I will help you."
A good move is to retreat in order to advance.
Lin Zhiyi glared at him angrily, but even so, he was still smiling.
He stared at her, his eyes sweeping across her face before finally settling on the scarf, his eyebrows slightly raised.
Finally, he whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Zhiyi, you can't beat me. In this world, truth and falsehood are not only determined by evidence, but also by who said it. No one will believe you. Now even your uncle can't help you. You can only rely on me."
Lin Zhiyi's heart was heaving violently with anger, and his breathing was rapid, like a little animal struggling in a cage.
Gong Yan stood outside the cage, teasing the hunter.
At this moment, the big screen suddenly lit up again.
Lin Zhiyi looked at the scene on the screen and breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother, why don't you look back and take a look yourself."
Gong Yan turned his head and his smile froze on his face.
In the video, Chen Hongwei was sitting on the sofa, hugging a beautiful woman on each side.
The two women were not wearing gaudy or cheap clothes. Instead, their skirts had brand name logos printed on them. They looked like people from a high-end place.
Several of them looked drunk.
One of the women leaned close to Chen Hongwei and said, "Mr. Chen, you are a celebrity in our Jing City recently. You are really amazing."
Chen Hongwei burped: "It's good that you know what's good for you. You will get benefits from following me in the future."
"Really? Then we have to give it a try. I heard that you got a very powerful gem at the auction. Can you show it to us?"
"No." Chen Hongwei refused immediately.
The other woman was very considerate and interrupted the sister, "Don't open your mouth. Can you show us the things from the auction house? Do you think Mr. Chen is the Mr. Li from last time, who would move the antiques from his home for you to appreciate after you coaxed him a few words? Don't force it. Isn't it Mr. Chen?"
Most people can tell that these two women are performing a duet.
But Chen Hongwei had been in a state of swell recently and had been drinking, so he could not be stimulated at all.
"What the hell is Mr. Li? Can he be as good as me? I'll show you."
After a while, Chen Hongwei called his bodyguard to deliver the things to the two women.
One of the women deliberately held the sapphire high up so that it was exposed to the camera and could be captured clearly.
It is the missing Kashmir sapphire.
Chen Hongwei pointed at the sapphire and said proudly: "This stone has helped me a lot."
"Mr. Chen, what's the big favor?"
"I've done something sneaky while working at Xueman. When Lin Zhiyi finds out that the gems have been replaced, won't she be at my mercy? I can't wait any longer." Chen Hongwei pinched his chin in an obscene manner.
"Mr. Chen, that's awesome."
The video ends here.
But the farce was not over yet.
At such a grand and extravagant banquet, a group of middle-aged couples in fancy clothes suddenly rushed in, with weather-beaten and mercenary looks on their faces.
When the guests around saw someone coming, they made way for fear of being bumped into.
The two men rushed to the front unhindered, and when they saw Shen Yan slumped on the ground, they immediately gritted their teeth and cursed.
"You stupid girl! I was wondering why you were missing all day, and it turns out you were doing this kind of thing outside! It's so embarrassing!" The middle-aged woman went up and twisted Shen Yan's ear.
Shen Yan felt pain and said in panic, "Mom, let me go, stop making trouble here, let's go out and talk!"
"Why are you going out? You can't let someone sleep with you for free! Your brother is still waiting to save money to get married! You are worthless like this, this man must be responsible."
The middle-aged woman scolded him and looked at Chen Hongwei viciously.
The corners of her eyes twitched. "It's you! You old bastard! You're so old, and you dare to ruin a young girl! I tell you, if you don't pay, you'll have no chance of getting away with it! There are videos on the Internet anyway!"
After saying that, Shen Yan's father took out a sickle from his waist.
"If you don't hand over the money today, I will fight you to the death!"
Shen Yan grabbed the two of them and begged, "Please, can you please go out? I beg you!"
The couple threw Shen Yan to the ground and scolded her: "Don't forget, when we promised you to go to college, you promised to make a lot of money for your brother. Now your reputation is ruined, what's the point!"
I heard that Shen Yan's last layer of fig leaf was torn off, and she was sitting on the ground like a rag doll.
At this moment, the celebration banquet turned into a complete joke.
Finally, the guests left consciously.
Soon, the only things left in the entire hall were the towering champagne tower and the gorgeous blooming flowers.
Chen Hongwei threw down a hush money of 200,000 yuan and ran away with the people.
Shen Yan's parents happily took the money and left without paying any attention to Shen Yan who was still bleeding.
Lin Zhiyi no longer paid attention to Shen Yan and turned to walk out of the banquet hall.
Xue Man happened to stop in front of her. She walked up quickly and found that there was a crying person standing in front of Xue Man.
Bella.
"Boss Xue, please give me another chance. I won't dare to do it again."
"Bella, since you betrayed me, this matter is non-negotiable. You should know what the studio means to me. You actually helped others and put the entire studio in crisis. I will never keep you."
Xue Man shook off Bella's hand, and waved to Lin Zhiyi out of the corner of his eye.
"Zhiyi, let's go."
"Ah."
Lin Zhiyi followed her into the hall.
On the way, she looked at Xue Man gratefully: "Mr. Xue, thank you for Mr. Chen's video, otherwise I really can't refute it."
Xue Man asked suspiciously, "You mean the video of those two women and Mr. Chen? It's not me."
"Not you? Then who is it?" Lin Zhiyi asked in surprise.
Xue Man looked at her and smiled faintly: "The woman in the video deliberately handed the gem to the camera. It was obviously arranged by someone."
"Should we go ask those two women?" Lin Zhiyi frowned.
"You're the one who thinks? The Chen family is probably sending people to catch those two women right now. It would be a miracle if they can find them. Besides... can you really not guess anything? Sometimes, you just don't want to think about it."
As he spoke, Xue Man raised his hand to adjust the scarf around her neck.
Cashmere scarf, soft and warm.
There was a word embroidered in gold thread on the corner: Shen.
Lin Zhiyi's body was slightly stiff, and she deliberately ignored the existence of the scarf from beginning to end.
Xue Man saw her stiff neck and chuckled.
"Let's go."
Lin Zhiyi nodded.
When leaving, someone behind called Lin Zhiyi's name.
"Knowledge."
It’s Gong Yan.
