Chapter 116: Indeed, You Stole My Watch

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“I’ve seen Miss Jiang’s watch before—a Vacheron Constantin. It’s so classic and pretty that even I am envious of it. I heard that you can’t buy this watch no matter how much you’re willing to pay. It seems that Miss Jiang really lost her watch… Did Miss Wen take it? If not, why is Miss Jiang affirming that the watch was taken by Miss Wen?”

“I also heard that she grew up in the streets before returning to the Wen Family. She steals and lies… it’s very hard for a petty thief like her to change.”

“If you didn’t steal it, you wouldn’t mind us searching your purse. But if you keep hiding like this… you really stole Miss Jiang’s watch, didn’t you?!”

There was no retreat for Wen Xinya. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Her eyes are clear and bright. “Alright, I’ll let you search!” She said firmly.

The crowd went silent upon hearing her words.

Wen Haowen pulled a long face. If this weren’t a party, he would definitely dash forward and beat this stupid sl*t to death.

Ning Shuqian stood beside Wen Haowen. She looked at Wen Xinya, gloating over Wen Xinya’s awkward position.

Wen Xinya ignored Wen Haowen’s piercing glare and coldly said, “However, I have one condition.”

“You stole my watch yet want to bargain with me? Shame on you!” Jiang Ruoyin sneered.

Wen Xinya stood there in silence and straightened her back. She had this natural elegance and confidence that made her look even taller, making everyone around seem like ants.

She didn’t reply.

Her proudness made the whispers in the crowd slowly turn into silence.

Ning Shuqian stepped forward and said, “Miss Jiang, random bag search is an insult to human rights. I won’t let you search if Xinya doesn’t agree.”

Ning Shuqian stood out and spoke for Wen Xinya because she was thinking about helping her in the preparation for the homecoming party. As Wen Xinya was in this situation alone, if she helped her, Wen Xinya would definitely be thankful.

Wen Xinya knew perfectly well what Ning Shuqian was thinking.

There was nothing Jiang Ruoyin could do about her. Hence, she gritted her teeth and said, “Okay, just say it! Let’s see how you wanna play.”

Raising her eyebrows, Wen Xinya looked at Jiang Ruoyin and said, “If I didn’t take your watch, then you have to apologize to me publicly. Can you do that?”

Jiang Ruoyin hesitated for a second but then thought Wen Xinya was just bluffing. “No problem.” Jiang Ruoyin said. “It’s a deal.”

“Well, if that’s the case, I hope you can keep your promise.” With everyone watching, Wen Xinya unzipped the purse slowly…

The corner of Xia Ruya’s mouth twitched as she observed Wen Xinya.

There weren’t many items in the purse, only a few cards, some money, and a few cosmetics. Everything could be viewed in one glance.

Jiang Ruoyin stared at the purse and suddenly screamed with her eyes wide open. “Yah! My watch!”

The piercing voice broke the silence.

Wen Xinya looked down and froze with surprise at the sight of the expensive watch in her purse. Her head exploded. Shaken by the fact, she lost her mind.
