Chapter 37: Still Refusing to Admit It
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Wei Ya was about to speak first, but this time, Qiao Sisi did not relent.
Qiao Sisi opened the bag in her hand and took out a book and an exquisite jewelry box. She placed them on the table.
“This is…” Assistant Li was puzzled. (f)reewebnovel
“This is the gift bag I brought into the private room yesterday. I believe a few people saw it,” Qiao Sisi said in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing.
She looked towards the door. Assistant Li’s arrival had attracted the attention of many colleagues.
A crowd had gathered outside Wei Ya’s room. Of course, Qiao Sisi did not expect these people to testify for her.
She had her own way of boosting the credibility of her words.
“And?”
Other than Assistant Li, no one else spoke. Even Lin Ya was quiet. Wei Ya wanted to say something a few times, but Qiao Sisi beat her to it.
Qiao Sisi pointed at two things. “Last night, after I sent Lin Ya back to her room, I went downstairs to make her some lemonade. I was sure that before I left, this bag was still in my room. But this morning, I found that the bag was gone.
I suspected that Wei Ya had stolen the bag, so I came with Lin Ya to look for it. As expected, I found my things under the bed.”
There was a short silence.
When Assistant Li heard this, she fell into deep thought. The colleagues at the door were discussing softly, not daring to attract the attention of others.
......
Wei Ya quickly retorted, “Bullsh*t, Qiao Sisi. This is clearly my bag. There are gift bags and gift bags. Do you claim that a gift bag is yours each time you see one? This bag and the things inside are clearly mine.”
“Wei Ya, you’re really fearless in the face of danger.” Qiao Sisi was so angry that she laughed and could not help but praise her.
Does she really think that I have no other way except to monitor her??Qiao Sisi thought,?I have ways to make Wei Ya admit it obediently.
The two of them were locked in a staring match. Lin Ya, who was close by, felt that something was wrong.
Assistant Li waved her hand. “Alright, quiet.”
Qiao Sisi gave her face and did not say anything else.
“Qiao Sisi, you said that this is yours. Can you prove it?” Assistant Li asked, trying to get to the truth from the facts.
Qiao Sisi said, “I know what’s in the jewelry box. Also… If we look at the surveillance camera footage, we should be able to find out if Wei Ya entered my room last night.”
From the looks of it, viewing surveillance footage should be the easiest way,?she thought.
Assistant Li did not refute and agreed to her suggestion. However, Wei Ya said disdainfully, “So what if you know what’s inside? It’s hard to prove that you haven’t seen them previously.”
Qiao Sisi could not be bothered with Wei Ya’s last-ditch attempt at denial.
Soon one of the colleagues approached a hotel staff member.
That colleague asked outside the door, “Hello, does the hotel’s surveillance camera monitor this hallway?”
The staff member said apologetically, “I’m sorry, the surveillance camera in this hallway broke yesterday morning. It hasn’t been fixed yet.”
Hearing this, Qiao Sisi was stunned.
She finally understood why Wei Ya looked so fearless when she talked about the surveillance footage at the hotel. She knew that the surveillance camera was broken, which was why she timed her move.
“Well done!” Qiao Sisi looked deeply at Wei Ya.
When Assistant Li received this answer, her mood worsened. “Both of you are sticking to your own version. I need you to show me the evidence.”
“Assistant Li, these are my things. Inside is an expensive bracelet that I bought. I bought that book myself too,” Wei Ya said hurriedly.
After that, she thought of something and added, “Perhaps Qiao Sisi saw my bracelet and specially devised this scheme to frame me so that she could have the bracelet.”
Wei Ya said confidently, and many people followed her lead.
Looking at the jewelry box, they knew that the item inside was expensive. Qiao Sisi dressed in ordinary clothes and it did not seem likely that she could afford to buy expensive things.
Perhaps she’s doing this for the bracelet!
Assistant Li looked at Qiao Sisi strangely and did not speak for a long time.
Qiao Sisi apologized in her heart. Zheng Zeyi, I need to borrow your name for now.
“Have you forgotten something?” said Qiao Sisi. She opened the box and revealed the bracelet, Light Smoke, that was emitting a dazzling light.
Instantly, everyone’s attention was attracted.
So beautiful!
“This, this, isn’t this that famous bracelet, Light Smoke? I’m actually lucky enough to see it!”
“This bracelet is so beautiful. Gosh, I can tell at one glance that it’s probably very expensive.”
“Don’t even think about it. You can’t afford such an expensive bracelet. Can’t you see the material?”
Assistant Li could not help staring at the bracelet. She had worked with Xiang Jinyu for so many years, so her knowledge in jewelry was naturally extraordinary.
She did not expect the bracelet in the jewelry box to be so precious!
“This is a gift from my fiancé, Zheng Zeyi,” Qiao Sisi said with a faint smile.
Wei Ya panicked and forced herself to calm down in order to find some loopholes in what Qiao Si said. “You said that Young Master Zheng gave it to you. Did he give it to you? I clearly bought this bracelet myself.”
With that, Wei Ya panicked even more. Zheng Zeyi was not someone she could afford to offend. She did not know if she was right to speak this way.
Qiao Sisi had completely calmed down. She enunciated each word clearly. “Zheng Zeyi bought me this bracelet at the auction. If you don’t believe me, I can go to Jinhang Auction House to find someone to corroborate what I said. I believe the transaction records are all there.”
“Jinhang Auction House… Is that auction house near Jade Street?” Assistant Li seemed to have some impression.
“That’s right.” Qiao Sisi nodded.
Seeing that the situation had changed, Wei Ya swallowed her saliva. “No… No, this is mine.”
She sounded weak.
“Still refusing to admit it.” Qiao Sisi smiled and took out her phone from her pocket. “Looks like I need to call Zheng Zeyi and ask him to prove it to everyone.”
Wei Ya shouted, “Stop!”
If Zheng Zeyi knew about this, she would be done for.?Qiao Sisi, that b*tch!
No matter how fierce Wei Ya’s gaze was, Qiao Sisi looked nonchalant.
At this moment, Assistant Li began to believe Qiao Sisi’s words. Although Wei Ya said that this belonged to her, she could not produce any evidence.
The surveillance camera was not working at this time. This was too much of a coincidence.
Qiao Sisi was different. She had Zheng Zeyi as her backing. And Assistant Li had previously forgotten something—the two of them were engaged.
