Ming Shu didn’t manage to show the pictures to Yu Ting. Before they reached Yu Ting, Yu Jingguo appeared and took him away.

When Yu Jingguo left, he looked at Yu Jing. He seemed to be warning him.

Yu Jing looked back at him nonchalantly. He seemed to be mocking Yu Jingguo.

Yu Jing pulled Ming Shu to the side. No one came to talk to him, but many people looked at him.

Yu Ting only came back just as the wedding was about to start.

The wedding started. Yan Xue came in with Father Yan. They walked down the red carpet and Father Yan passed Yan Xue to Yu Ting.

As the ceremony was ongoing, Ming Shu saw the man who was with Yan Xue just now. He was standing beside Yu Ting. He was the groomsman.

The wedding ended quickly. The bride and groom offered a toast to their guest. The scene was heartwarming.

“Sister Qi.”

Ruan Xiaolian was standing beside the pool while holding the arm of a man. When she saw Ming Shu and Yu Jing, she waved at them.

The man stopped her. He told her something. Ruan Xiaolian stood upright awkwardly.

Since Ruan Xiaolian waved at them, Feng Heng had no choice but to walk toward them.

Feng Heng nodded at Yu Jing. His attitude was polite and distant.

“Sister Qi.” Ruan Xiaolian smiled as she called her.

Ming Shu raised her hand and rubbed Ruan Xiaolian’s head. Ruan Xiaolian didn’t tie her hair up. She had some curls at the end of her hair. It made her look obedient and cute.

The dress suited her too. She was going for a cute style.

Feng Heng looked at Ming Shu’s hand on Ruan Xiaolian’s head. “Miss Qiao, do you know Xiaolian?”

“I’m working at Sister Qi’s place,” Ruan Xiaolian said.

Feng Heng didn’t show much reaction. He raised his glass and offered Ming Shu a toast. “Thank you for taking care of Xiaolian.”

Ming Shu looked at him as though he was her son-in-law. She paused for two seconds before raising her cup.

“You’re welcome. I’m willing to help her.” She would take care of her own cook.

Yu Jing exerted more force on his hand at her waist.

Willing to what?

F**k. Why didn’t you take care of me?

That little bitch is snatching my wife again!

Yu Jing was stunned. Why did he say “again”?

Feng Heng felt weird too. However, the other party was a girl so there was nothing wrong with what she said.

The main thing was, Ruan Xiaolian liked her.

“Little Qi, Boss Feng is here too.” Zheng Guangming came toward them with his glass. He saw Ming Shu first and then noticed Feng Heng.

“Mister Zheng.” Feng Heng nodded slightly. Ruan Xiaolian didn’t know who this person was so she just smiled awkwardly and politely.

Zheng Guangming looked gentle. He greeted them and turned to Ming Shu. “Little Qi, where is your father?”

“I’m not sure. He’s probably outside.” The people that gathered around here were all youngsters.

“I will go and look for him, then.” Zheng Guangming’s gaze landed on Yu Jing. He looked down and saw their hands which were intertwined together. “Little Qi, you have a boyfriend now.”

“Yes.”

Ming Shu didn’t deny it.

Zheng Guangming sighed for some reason. “That’s good. You are all grown up now. We are getting old… Sigh. I’m not staying any longer. Have a good time. I will go and look for your father.”

After Zheng Guangming left, Feng Heng was called away by someone.

Ruan Xiaolian waved at Ming Shu.

Ming Shu didn’t know much about this small event. She didn’t expect Ruan Xiaolian to encounter trouble when they met again.

Ming Shu felt that anyone who was together with the male protagonist would get implicated.

Yan Xue had a necklace that cost a million dollars. Since she needed to change frequently today, she placed the necklace in the dressing room. However, it went missing.

Unfortunately, someone saw Ruan Xiaolian entering the dressing room.

Hence, Yan Xue suspected that Ruan Xiaolian stole her necklace.

This kind of scene could only happen to a poor person like Ruan Xiaolian. The other people here could buy the necklace if they wanted to.

Unless the necklace had a special meaning behind it.

It was a normal plot point.

If this was a story based on the female protagonist, the female protagonist would prove her innocence. However, this was the fake female protagonist’s story. She might frame Ruan Xiaolian successfully.

Yan Xue was a professional fake female protagonist. She didn’t forget to harm the female protagonist on her wedding.

“I can’t believe that such a cute girl like her would steal things.”

“Who is she? I’ve never seen her before…”

“I know her. She is Ruan Xiaolian. I saw her selling alcohol when I went to play last time…”

“Really? She is a wine-seller…”

Ruan Xiaolian’s identity was dug up. It seemed reasonable that a wine-seller would steal a million-dollar necklace.

Ruan Xiaolian didn’t know how to defend herself. The witness and the surveillance camera all proved that she was guilty.

Feng Heng defended her, but that didn’t prove her innocence.

“The necklace was left by my mother. Give it back to me.” Yan Xue was sincere. “I can give you other things to exchange for it. The necklace is important to me.”

“I didn’t…”

“It is really important to me. I beg you.”

The moment Ruan Xiaolian wanted to explain herself, Yan Xue would interrupt her. If she didn’t, someone else would. She didn’t have the chance to defend herself at all.

Besides saying “I didn’t,””It wasn’t me,” and “I didn’t take it,” she didn’t know what to say.

Ming Shu squeezed through the crowd. “Miss Yan, stop interrupting her. Listen to what she has to say.”

Yan Xue heard the familiar voice and looked toward Ming Shu. In that instant, hatred filled up her eyes.

Yan Xue forced herself to remain calm. “Miss Qiao, the servant saw her entering the room personally. The camera footage can prove it, too. I just want to have my necklace back. I don’t want to force her to take responsibility. If she has any difficulties, I can help her…”

Yan Xue showcased her benevolence.

Even though this person stole her things, she would not only forgive her, she would help her too.

Yan Xue’s friends wanted to say something, but Ming Shu stared at them with smiling eyes. They shivered and didn’t dare to interrupt her.

Ming Shu stood in front of the crowd. She leaned against Yu Jing. Everyone saw that she was with Yu Jing so no one stopped her.

“Did the servant see her taking your necklace or did the surveillance camera record it?”

Yan Xue: “…”

Yan Xue gritted her teeth. She glared at Ming Shu secretly and warned her against spoiling her plan.

“If she just saw Ruan Xiaolian entering the room, why are you targeting her directly?”

Yan Xue felt her anger boiling in her heart.

“The necklace was still in the room when I was changing clothes. After I came out, she was the only one who went in. The surveillance camera filmed it.”

“Oh, that means that the surveillance camera can only film the outside of the room. Maybe someone entered the room through the window? This room is not on a high floor. An agile thief would be able to get in easily. Maybe you stole your necklace yourself?”

“Qiao Qi!” Yan Xue raised her voice. “That necklace belongs to me. Why would I do that?”

“Don’t get so worked up. I’m just making a reasonable guess. Are you feeling guilty?”

Yan Xue wanted to kill Ming Shu. How is this a reasonable guess?
