So, he slowly walked to Yun Na and cover her body with his suit jacket, just exactly what Gu Xingze did.

Yun Na got flattered when he helped her, so she showed a smile with some tears in her eyes while saying: “Li Jiuxian, thank you!”

“Don’t cry, your makeup will be wasted.” Li Jiuxian kindly reminded.

After he said that, Yun Na helplessly clenched on his sleeves. As if she was drowning and he is her last hope: “I really didn’t mean it. You saw that it was just an accident, right? I wasn’t careful!”

Li Jiuxian nodded his head earnestly and said: “Yes, I saw that you didn’t mean it.”

Then, he turned his head and looked at Yun Shishi with his eyes that show a blame: “She really didn’t mean it, but why did you still pour a wine on her? Isn’t that a bit insulting?”

But unexpectedly, Yun Shishi just knitted her eyebrows and said: “Oh? Is that so?”

Tang Yu who was standing on the side took a step forward too, and then said: “Yun Shishi,  what you did is insulting! Don’t you think you should act more kind? I don’t know who is backing you, but being such a big bully is too much!”

Gu Xingze frown and looked at Yun Shishi, then he also looked at Tang Yu and Li Jiuxian. He was about to speak to defend her, but Yun Shishi holds down his arm.

Yun Shishi shows a smile and calmly said: “I don’t think I’ve insulted her.”

Li Jiuxian immediately force his words: “Then, what’s with pouring her a wine?”

“Yeah, then why did you pour her a wine ah? Isn’t that to embarrassed her too?”

“Well, I think it just like a dog bites a dog. Both of them are just a newcomer, but they were dressed extravagantly. It’s very clear that they just want to grab a limelight!” Someone from the side tried to bit his tongue and said.

“I think Yun Shishi doesn’t know what it means to be Gu Xingze’s partner. Well, I also heard that Director Lin is backing her. But, I’m not really sure what is her actual relationship with them… …”

“… …”

On the second floor, Mu Yazhe was standing in front of the handrail of the podium. He was looking at the first floor of the reception hall where the commotion is being held and was looking at Yun Shishi with his cold eyes.

But to be more specific, he was looking at her hand that was tightly holding Gu Xingze’s arm. At that moment, he couldn’t help but also tightly grip the handrails.

Mu Wanrou who stand on his side look at what’s happening in the hall. When she saw the people below, her eyebrows slightly knitted.

“Thief!”

*

A calm voice sounded on the hall.

Yun Shishi expressionlessly looks at Yun Na and said: “Because she is a thief!”

When Mu Wanrou heard Yun Shishi’s voice, her heart got scared and her body stiff.

Then, her mind immediately traveled back from fifteens ago in the orphanage. And her rusty memory slowly becomes clearer.

In her memory, Yun Shishi was being surrounded by the children in the orphanage and relentlessly accusing her: “Little Shishi, you are a thief!”

Unexpectedly, the history repeats itself. So at that moment, she got so shocked and couldn’t help but step back from guilt.

No, I’m not a thief …

Mu Wanrou’s shoulders started shaking and her arrogant face turns stiff and gloomy.

When Mu Yazhe turned his head, he saw her empty looking eyes. As if she got immersed from a big nightmare.

In the reception hall, Yun Na also got scared and step back. She tried to find a miserable excuse and said: I’m not a thief… …”

“You stole my necklace and my dress, but you are saying your not a thief? Yun Shishi look at her with her eyes that full of disdain, then continue: “If you are not a thief, then what are you?”

“No! I am not a thief, don’t just spit your nonsense!” Yun Na’s face turns pale and refutes her immediately.

Yun Shishi slightly tilted her head and smile while saying in ridicule: “So, are you saying that I’m falsely accusing you?”
