The hall was filled with influential figures, and upon their arrival, the young ladies and gentlen automatically made way for them.
"What’s going on?"
Walking in the lead, Yan Lingyi imdiately noticed Yan Yuexian looking aggrieved and asked.
Yan Yuexian was about to say that her hair clip was missing.
However, Zhang Fanfan spoke up first, "Lady Lingyi, it’s like this, Yuexian’s hair clip was just stolen."
In one sentence, she defined the incident as theft.
Yan Lingyi frowned, "What hair clip? How could it have been stolen?"
Yan Yuexian was on the verge of tears, she truly didn’t want to make a big deal of it. Everyone already had an opinion about her, and if this continued, she guessed everyone would hate her.
"Aunt, my hair clip is just missing, it might have been lost, not necessarily stolen."
Zhang Fanfan took her hand affectionately and said, "Yuexian, I know you don’t want to make a big deal, but the hair clip was there when you were sitting here, we’ve searched multiple tis and haven’t found it, where could it be if not stolen?
If it were an ordinary hair clip, it might be overlooked, but it’s the token of affection from Young Master Gong to you, it’s significant, how can it be lost?"
Hearing this, Yan Yuexian frowned, seeming to sense sothing amiss, but couldn’t imdiately pinpoint it.
anwhile, Gong Sirui shot a sharp look at Zhang Fanfan, deep in thought.
How did she know the willow-leaf hair clip was the token of affection he gave to Yan Yuexian?
Did Yuexian tell her?
Feeling unnerved under Gong Sirui’s gaze, Zhang Fanfan wondered if she might have slipped up sohow.
She thought she hadn’t; everything she said was sensible and reasonable.
Old Chief Fang was displeased; today was his birthday banquet, and such an incident occurred, truly unfortunate.
"Since it’s sothing important, let’s search for it thoroughly."
"Grandfather Fang, we’ve already searched, it’s because we couldn’t find it that Yuexian suspects it was stolen." Zhang Fanfan interrupted.
Her words were all from Yan Yuexian’s standpoint, leaving no room for error.
Yan Yuexian was beyond explanation, now, whatever she said was useless, everyone wrongly believed she suspected it was stolen.
No explanation would suffice, after all, it was she who lost the item, and Zhang Fanfan was rely eagerly helping her search.
Zhang Fanfan continued, "Grandfather Fang, Yuexian wanted to search everyone, but no one is willing to cooperate..."
"I didn’t ask to search everyone, don’t talk nonsense!" Yan Yuexian was frantic, feeling accusations were everywhere directed at her.
Zhang Fanfan appeared innocent, "Yuexian, didn’t you say you want to find your hair clip, how without searching can you find it?"
Switching the concept in the argunt left Yan Yuexian unable to defend herself.
She was so anxious she was about to cry, "Of course I want to find my hair clip since it’s missing, but...no need to search everyone."
"How can you find it without searching?" Zhang Fanfan innocently retorted.
Now, everyone’s irritation and resentnt towards Yan Yuexian reached the peak!
Making a fuss, causing them to be questioned in front of many influential figures.
Xia Weibao shook her head and sighed, Yan Yuexian was still too naive, absolutely no match for Zhang Fanfan.
While Yan Weiyang hoped for the matter to escalate as much as possible, dragging in the Presidential Mansion’s young lady to achieve the desired effect, naturally wouldn’t help Yan Yuexian.
Gong Sirui, being male, naturally wouldn’t argue publicly with a woman like Zhang Fanfan.
Thus, Yan Yuexian was left to bear the bla.
