Chapter 576 Agree To Be Searched

Immediately after, Wen Xi mocked. “Did I say anything wrong? Everyone cooperated with the search, but she refused to cooperate. If we can’t find the ring today, we’ll know who’s the biggest suspect!”

The few women could not help but nod.

“That’s right. Although it’s impossible for Mrs. Gu to steal anything, everyone except her has been searched. If others find out about this, they’ll definitely suspect Mrs. Gu as well!”

Qiao Xi smiled coldly. Although these people said that they did not believe that she would steal anything, they still insisted on searching her body. As expected of Xu Anran’s good friends. They were all the same as her.

“Actually, you’re right…” Xu Anran frowned in embarrassment.

“Xi Xi, maybe you should agree to let us search your body? Although I believe that you didn’t steal it, doing this can prove your innocence. Otherwise, someone might suspect you. Do you think…”

Qiao Xi stared coldly at Xu Anran and guessed that she would definitely blame it on her.

Seeing that Qiao Xi was silent, Xu Anran bit her lip. “Xi Xi, if you’re unwilling, then forget it. They’re my friends anyway, so they won’t say anything.”

“I agree.”

At this moment, Gu Zheng, who had been silent all this while, glanced at his watch and suddenly spoke.

“Miss Xu, you’re right. Everyone else has gotten their bodies searched, so if Xi Xi doesn’t do it, she’ll be suspected. Since that’s the case, let’s search her body.”

Gu Zheng agreed?

Xu Anran widened her eyes. For a moment, she was unable to understand Gu Zheng’s thoughts. Was he sure that Qiao Xi would not steal anything, or was he actually not that fond of Qiao Xi?

No matter what the reason was, Gu Zheng agreed and said it was only right for Qiao Xi to be searched.

Xu Anran looked at the coldness in Gu Zheng’s eyes, and her heart could not help but tremble. However, she couldn’t care less now. The Yin family was about to arrive. She wanted Qiao Xi’s reputation to be ruined in front of everyone!

She wanted everyone to know that Qiao Xi had developed bad habits during her time outside. She was a good-for-nothing who stole. She was not worthy to be the eldest daughter of the Xu family!

No matter if it was the Yin family, the Xia family, or the Xu family, they would all treat her, Xu Anran, as their beloved daughter. They would leave all their assets to her, while Qiao Xi would not be able to get a single cent!

Xu Anran slowly walked in front of Qiao Xi and put her hand into Qiao Xi’s bag while suppressing the excitement in her heart.

The next second…

Xu Anran frowned, and her face was pale. Her body went weak as she took a few steps back. She looked at Qiao Xi in disbelief.

Qiao Xi was instantly speechless. Why was she pretending?!

When everyone saw Xu Anran’s pale face, they were immediately shocked. “Looking at Anran’s expression, could it be that the ring was really with Qiao Xi?”

“She’s already so rich, yet she still stole someone else’s ring. She’s really embarrassing President Gu!”

“Wen Xi is right. Although she married a handsome and rich man like President Gu, she still can’t change her habits. She can’t control her hands, ha!”

The mocking gazes of everyone descended onto Qiao Xi. Xu Anran recovered from her shock, and her voice trembled slightly. “Xi Xi, you… How could you…”

Xu Anran was distracted. Her legs went weak and she almost tripped as she looked at Qiao Xi in disbelief.

“You, why are you… Impossible! You couldn’t have stolen it! I remembered it wrongly. My ring isn’t missing. It must still be in my bag!”

Her weak explanation and flustered appearance proved that Qiao Xi was guilty. She was telling everyone that she had found the missing ring in Qiao Xi’s bag.

“Qiao Xi, you stole it, right?! You’re already the second miss of the Xu family, yet you still did a despicable thing like that. Are you worthy to be the daughter of the Xu family?”

Xu Anran hurriedly stopped them. “Don’t say anymore. Xi Xi is my younger sister. Pretend not to know about this. Forget it, just forget it. Previously, I asked Xi Xi to help me safeguard my ring. She didn’t steal it.”

“Mrs. Gu, what else do you have to say? You stole someone else’s ring and are even getting Anran to cover for you?”

“How did the Xu family adopt such a woman? She clearly stole something but refuses to admit it. She’s too much!”

“Miss Xu is indeed a top socialite. As the daughter of the Xu family, she didn’t bicker with her adopted sister and even said that she gave the ring to her for the sake of her reputation. Qiao Xi is really shameless!”
