Chapter 1108: Chapter 1108: Framed (Part 7)
After all, the people who just spoke are the pinnacle of Huaxia’s elite. Who would dare provoke them wantonly?
Lu Hualiang kept silent from beginning to end, his face expressionless, leaving no one able to discern his emotions.
In the eyes of outsiders, he and Xia Weibao had no connection, and indeed there shouldn’t be any emotions involved.
Yan Weiyang was so furious she felt like her lungs would explode!
She never expected that the first people to defend Xia Weibao would actually be her own family!
And three of them at that!
Yan Lingyi, Yan Fei, Yan Yuexian, her mother, her cousin, her cousin; the three people closest to her were all helping Xia Weibao!
Why, what right does that bitch Xia Weibao have!
Those are her family, they belong to her!
Why are they all siding with Xia Weibao!
Fuming with rage inside, she couldn’t show it.
Yan Weiyang gave Zhang Fanfan a meaningful look.
Zhang Fanfan hesitated; Yan Weiyang and Yan Fei were not people she could afford to offend.
She was also annoyed with Yan Weiyang, thinking, those are your family members, why are they all coming out to stir things up.
All siding with Xia Weibao, if she didn’t know Yan Weiyang was the Yan Family’s heiress, she would have thought Xia Weibao was Yan Lingyi’s daughter.
She was somewhat afraid and didn’t dare provoke these people, but thinking of the need to curry favor with Yan Weiyang in the future, she ground her teeth and stepped forward.
"Grandfather Fang, I think it’s better to check everyone. That way it’s fair, otherwise, others might think we’re hiding something, which is why we’re afraid of being checked.
After all, the three of us are the closest to Yuexian, and under most suspicion.
Moreover, everyone else was searched, except for the three of us. Others may not say it out loud, but there might be grievances in their hearts, possibly they’ve already decided we’re the ones who stole it."
After Zhang Fanfan finished speaking, she placed her purse on the table and poured out everything inside.
"To prove my innocence and avoid reproach, I’ll go first, everyone can take a look."
As she spoke, she spread out her belongings, making them clearly visible.
Her attitude of having a clear conscience quickly won everyone’s favor.
This is what being upright looks like, not afraid of shadows.
"You’ve all seen, there are only some cosmetics in my bag, no hairpin." With that, she began putting her things back one by one.
While tidying up, she turned to Yan Weiyang, "Weiyang, you should let everyone take a look too. Even though you’re Yuexian’s cousin and the least likely to take the hairpin, fairness is important, right? It won’t cost you anything to take a look."
She had said this, so naturally, Yan Weiyang had to follow along, "Alright, to prove my innocence, I’ll let everyone take a look too."
She then placed her handbag on the table, took everything out, and turned it upside down for everyone to see.
There was no hairpin.
After everyone was checked, Xia Weibao was the only one left, and all eyes were on her.
At this point, eighty percent of the people present were already convinced she was the culprit.
Lu Hualiang thought of something, his brow furrowing deeply.
The piercing sharpness in his abyss-like eyes swept over Zhang Fanfan, exuding a chilling aura that felt like staring at a dead person.
Everyone standing beside him shivered from the sudden coldness, subconsciously taking two steps back.
They exchanged puzzled glances, wondering what was going on, and why he suddenly got angry for no reason.
Rumor has it that Director Lu has a volatile temper, unpredictable moods—turns out it wasn’t just a rumor.
Lu Huashan, observing the situation, understood clearly.
Others weren’t aware of the enmity between Xia Weibao and Yan Weiyang, so they didn’t understand the implications of Yan Weiyang and Zhang Fanfan’s actions.
