Capítulo 1110: Chapter 1110: Framed (Part 9)
“What nonsense are you talking about? How could Baby possibly steal something! What lousy hairpin, I can give her as many as she wants, the Lu Family has plenty of money!
Tomorrow I’ll go buy a house full of hairpins and let Baby play marbles with them!”
The overwhelming words choked everyone present.
Miss Lu, we know your family is the richest, we know your family has money, but is it really good to flaunt your wealth so openly?
However, the more she refused to let Xia Weibao’s bag be searched, the more the people on the scene believed that Xia Weibao stole it.
“If she didn’t really steal, what’s there to hide.”
“Exactly, the more you hide it, the more it shows you’re guilty, right? If you’re truly innocent, just let people see, we won’t insist she stole it.”
“I think it’s more than likely she’s guilty. If she didn’t steal, she would have taken out the bag a long time ago to prove her innocence. The hairpin must be in her bag…”
The crowd was chattering away, anyway, the law doesn’t punish the majority, and there were so many people saying it, it’s not just them alone.
No one can remember who said it and then retaliate against all of them, right?
Ha, these people were spot on, Director Lu came with a cold aura, his cold and deep gaze seemed unfocused, as if he were a king looking down on these people.
He appeared indifferent, yet quietly took note of everyone who had squeezed Xia Weibao.
The crowd was in full swing, suddenly feeling a chilling wind, as if cold air was seeping into the nape of their necks, scaring them into silence.
Then they looked around, what was going on, the weather was supposed to be fine today, sunny, no wind.
Even the hanging ribbons weren’t fluttering, where did the cold wind come from?
Lu Huashan was about to explode with anger, at this moment, she was absolutely certain that Yan Weiyang had something to do with this!
In such a situation, there’s even more reason not to let Xia Weibao’s bag be searched.
But the matter had escalated to this point, if they didn’t search, it would clearly imply guilt, they would never be able to wash it off in the future.
Yan Yuexian’s face was pale, she never intended to harm Xia Weibao…
Yan Lingyi frowned, she didn’t believe Xia Weibao would steal, but now all the evidence pointed to her, could there be more to it?
And Yan Fei, he was already considering how to handle it if a hairpin was indeed found in Xia Weibao’s bag, should he say he gave it to her?
Clearly doesn’t make sense…
Old Chief Fang also felt something was off.
The ministers of the National Studies Association were in relatively simple environments, all engaged in arts, not having many crooked thoughts, still hadn’t thought that Xia Weibao could be framed.
Only firmly believing that Xia Weibao didn’t steal, and thinking the people here were too nasty, to push a girl like this…
Hmm, they would remember everyone here, and the National Studies Association would never hire them!
Just as Lu Huashan didn’t know how to wrap things up, a slender, fair hand suddenly pressed on her shoulder.
A voice like silver bells rang out from behind, “Shanshan, let it be, if they want to look, let them.”
Lu Huashan’s expression changed, “Baby…”
Xia Weibao smiled at her and then gave a half-smile glance towards Zhang Fanfan.
“I can’t quite understand why everyone started arguing, I don’t seem to have said from the beginning that they weren’t allowed to search.
Why does everyone say it’s me who doesn’t want to, even angering my Shanshan, to the point where I can’t understand how I suddenly became the target of everyone’s criticism.”
After these words, everyone paused for a moment, then suddenly realized, it seems to be the case.
Xia Weibao had not said a word from the beginning to the end, so why did everyone think she was unwilling to let them search?
