Wen Meiling’s eyes darted around as she said, “Jiang Mengyu, you stole someone’s belonging, just return it to them. Once you go to the police station, it won’t matter whether you stole it or not, you’ll be someone who has been inside a police station. Do you want your fiancé, Commander Gu Dongxing, to be humiliated because of you?”
The onlookers, hearing that this young lady was the fiancée of a commander, immediately cast more complex looks at Jiang Mengyu.
Some thought inwardly with a sneer: Could this commander’s fiancée really stoop to such petty thievery?
But most people were actually thinking: This commander’s fiancée is really unlucky, being wronged and yet no one stands up for her.
This girl who arrived later seems to be a family member too, yet not only does she not defend her, she is even adding fuel to the fire.
Jiang Mengyu glared at Wen Meiling hatefully. She had actually called out her full name along with Gu Dongxing’s, even mentioning his position.
Was she trying to smear her, and to smear Gu Dongxing too?
Goat Beard internally cursed his luck; just a moment ago, he thought this woman was just an ordinary family member of the Gu Family, but now this girl has revealed her identity—she’s the fiancée of the factory manager of a local factory run by the Gu Family.
And she had mentioned both their names. It seems there is no doubt about it now.
If he had known that the girl was a factory manager’s fiancée, he would not have outright accused her of stealing.
He was anxiously pondering what to do.
He sighed, “Uh, I didn’t know she was the fiancée of the factory manager. That vase, maybe it wasn’t taken by you, maybe I was mistaken, I, let’s just forget about it.”
He truly intended to drop the matter.
He didn’t have the guts to take an antique vase from a factory manager’s fiancée.
The moment Wen Meiling heard Goat Beard wanting to make peace, she got anxious. Even though he said that, Jiang Mengyu still couldn’t shake off the suspicion of theft, but what she wanted was to pin the theft firmly on Jiang Mengyu’s head.
She said in a hurry, “Old man, you must not let her off just because she’s the factory manager’s fiancée. Prince or commoner, the laws apply equally. Moreover, she isn’t even the factory manager’s wife yet.”
She turned to Jiang Mengyu: “Jiang Mengyu, you should quickly apologize to the old man. Don’t let the public think that we, the families, bully others by using our positions.”
Jiang Mengyu looked at Wen Meiling’s act, her eyes turning ice cold.
Goat Beard, hearing Wen Meiling’s words, quickly said: “No need, no need. I’ve already let it go.” And with that, he tried to squeeze through the crowd to leave.
The cold voice of Jiang Mengyu arose: “But what if I can’t let it go? By leaving like this, does it mean you feel guilty?”
Before Goat Beard could speak, Wen Meiling had already cried out: “Jiang Mengyu, how can you speak to the people like that? Are you really going to bully others by using your position?”
Jiang Mengyu turned to Wen Meiling: “Wen Meiling, wife of Vice Factory Manager Yan, what do you mean by this? This man slandered me by accusing me of theft, and defending myself means I’m bullying others by using my position?
He tries to smear me with slander and I should just bow my head and confess? Not confessing makes me a bully?
What kind of logic is that?
As a family member, is this how you usually uphold the reputation of your family?”
Wen Meiling was momentarily at a loss for words.
She looked at Goat Beard: “You keep saying you don’t want to bother with me, but don’t your words mean that you still suspect I stole your vase, and because I am a family member, you’re willing to let it go?
But do you have evidence that I stole your vase?
You can’t produce evidence, can you? Not having evidence, you want to search my bag? Do you realize this is an insult to my reputation?”
