The box was very familiar. It was the bracelet that Su Ning had just given Old Madam Tong.
Su Ning screamed in shock, “Why is this box with you? You’re jealous that Tong Pei and I are engaged, so you stole this, didn’t you?”
Guo Miao was stunned for a moment and frowned at Su Ning.
Less than five minutes ago, she found out that Su Ning and Tong Pei were engaged. How did she steal the bracelet and put it in her bag so quickly?
Su Ning was really good at framing others.
Su Ning realized that Guo Miao was looking at her, and she started to avert her gaze.
When the people in the hall saw this scene, they all looked over. Most of them heard what Su Ning said just now.
Tong Pei had just returned to the venue when he heard this sentence. He looked at the person who had spoken.
Su Ning was already crying. She squatted beside Guo Miao’s bag and picked up the box to look at the bracelet inside.
The icy red bracelet was lying quietly inside. Under the light in the hall, it glowed with a warm color.
This bracelet was really well forged. It was almost impossible to tell that it was a fake.
“Why is this bracelet with you? This is my birthday gift to Great-grandma. Why is it in your hands? Did you steal it? Butler Chang, come and take a look. Someone stole Great-grandma’s things!” Su Ning’s voice was sharp.
Tong Ling, who was sitting at another table, stood up and walked over. She also looked at the bracelet in the box in surprise. “Didn’t you pick this gift for Great-grandma today? Why is it in Guo Miao’s hands?”
The two of them echoed each other, almost convicting Guo Miao.
“1 know you’re from Haichcng and haven’t seen much of the world. If you like this kind of bracelet, I can buy it for you, but why do you want to sully my filial piety to Great-grandma?” Su Ning said very sadly as if tears were about to flow out in the next second.
Guo Miao only looked at Su Ning coldly and did not say anything.
Butler Chang walked over with some difficulty. He looked at the bracelet in Su Ning’s hand and said, “I asked two servants to bring these congratulatory gifts to the room. Why are they here?”
He used the walkie-talkie to call out the two servants who were responsible for bringing the gifts back.
The two servants looked at Guo Miao with evasive eyes.
One of them, Xiao Hong, said, “Xiao Ke sprained her ankle just now. It was this lady who sent the congratulatory gifts back together with me. I was busy tidying up at that time and didn’t notice. How could the guests here like these congratulatory gifts? So…”
When Su Ning heard this, she suddenly cried out, “Miss Guo Miao’s family isn’t rich. I don’t know what method she used to come to Beijing and build a relationship with the Tong family. She might have been possessed to have done such a thing. Miss Guo, 1 don’t blame you.”
Tong Ling looked at her best friend’s poor acting skills and sneered in her heart. She was so anxious to push the blame on Guo Miao, but it seemed very deliberate.
Tong Ling said, “Maybe Ningning asked too many questions when she was giving Great-grandma a gift just now, so you got angry, Miss Guo. I apologize on behalf of Ningning, but you shouldn’t have touched Great-grandma’s gift.”
At this moment, Tong Yao said, “I think this bracelet is very ordinary. It probably doesn’t cost more than a million yuan. The prize money for Goddess Miao’s math competition in Fog City is thrice as much as this.”
Everyone present looked at Tong Yao.
The young master who had lived in Haicheng for a long time had always kept a low profile and rarely came to the capital. If it weren’t for the old lady’s birthday banquet, he might not have appeared.
Why would he speak up for an unknown little girl from Haichcng?
Tong Pci stood in the shadow of the door and looked at Tong Yao. He was about to open his mouth to help, but Tong Yao beat him to it.
“Su Ning, where did this fall from?” Tong Yao looked at the bracelet and asked.
“From her bag.” Su Ning pointed at Guo Miao, her eyes flashing with indignation and anger..
