A frown arose on Huang Mingkun's face when he heard Ye Wanwan. He didn't expect Ye Wanwan to be so troublesome. He thought this would be an easy matter to settle… Or could it be that Ye Wanwan detected something…
If Ye Wanwan absolutely refused to be searched, there wasn't much he could do.
"Dad, Mom… Look! If Ye Wanwan didn't take the ring, why would she act like this?!" Liang Meixuan immediately turned to Ye Hongwei and Tan Yi Lan for help.
Tan Yi Lan frowned at Ye Wanwan and said, "Wanwan, if you didn't take Yiyi's ring, there's nothing to be afraid of. Give your bag to Steward Huang to search."
"Grandma, it's not that I'm unwilling to let them search, but there are so many guests here today… I don't want to let this matter get too big." Ye Wanwan had an "I'm very troubled" expression.
Liang Meixuan snorted when she heard that. "Aha! So it really is you ungrateful b*tch who took Yiyi's ring! How could such shameless scum come out of our family? You even steal things from your family! Yet, you're afraid of being humiliated now? You should've thought of that earlier! You probably stole quite a lot of things while you were outside, didn't you?!"
Ye Wanwan immediately glanced at Liang Meixuan. "Second Aunt, how many days have you not brushed your teeth?"
Liang Meixuan's expression shifted but before she could say anything, Ye Hongwei made the command for Huang Mingkun to search Ye Wanwan's bag.
"You can search it if you want," Ye Wanwan coldly said. "However, you'll have to be responsible for the consequences, Second Aunt."
Then, Ye Wanwan handed her bag to Huang Mingkun.
Everyone's gaze landed on Ye Wanwan's handbag, curious as to whether it was Ye Wanwan who stole the ring.
Huang Mingkun casually sifted through it and immediately extracted a jade ring from Ye Wanwan's handbag without any trouble under everyone's eyes…
"Hah, so it really was you!" Liang Meixuan screamed in shock.
Ye Shaoting and Liang Wanjun were both dumbfounded when they saw Huang Mingkun pulling the ring out of Ye Wanwan's bag.
Ye Hongwei and Tan Yi Lan turned furious as they looked at Ye Wanwan.
"Um… Wanwan isn't that kind of person. There must be some misunderstanding…" Ye Yiyi suddenly said.
"Misunderstanding?!" Liang Meixuan snorted. "Everyone here saw Steward Huang pulling your ring out of Ye Wanwan's bag with their own eyes! What misunderstanding could there be? Why are you still protecting this thankless wretch even now?!"
"But…" Ye Yiyi bit her lip and finally sighed, not saying anything more.
"How vile…"
Ye Mufan gritted his teeth. He just knew Ye Yiyi must've set it up beforehand! Yet, she was putting on an unbearable and aching act right now. Truly repulsive!
Wanwan actually told him to learn a trick or two from her. He was afraid he could never learn to be so shameless in his life though.
Shock and exclamations swept through the guests. The second miss of the Ye family's eldest branch was really a thief! And she stole from her own family!
"An apple doesn't fall far from the tree!"
"Heh… it can't be helped. The parents were remiss in her upbringing and raised a thief."
"How shameful…!"
Some of the guests started jeering.
Ye Hongwei and Tan Yi Lan both felt short of breath. What should they do with their pride in such a public setting?!
"Ye Wanwan, you could've told us upfront if you were lacking money! I never expected you to be a thief instead! You've truly brought shame upon the Ye family and your grandpa and grandma! How should your grandpa and grandma hold their heads up from now on, you ungrateful wretch!" Liang Meixuan let loose a torrent of abuse while pointing at Ye Wanwan.
