Sweet Time Only for You: The Entanglement between Mr. Lu and Miss Song-Chapter 153: Chain Trap, Layers Within Layers 7

She, naturally, referred to Song Yinyin.

Lu Jihan paused, slightly turned his head, and his hawk-like eyes shot out coldly: "Mrs. Zhao, is there anything else?"

Catching a glimpse of Lu Jihan’s sinister and icy gaze, Mrs. Zhao shivered slightly.

But, the next second, she unceremoniously pointed at Song Yinyin and said, "I suspect that she stole my watch!"

The entire living room suddenly fell silent, and everyone turned their shocked eyes towards Song Yinyin.

Lu Jihan’s eyes grew even colder, like the coldest blade of ice from the polar winter, shooting towards Mrs. Zhao.

"You say she stole your watch. Do you have any evidence?" he said coolly, his seemingly calm face already hiding undercurrents.

Mrs. Zhao was completely unaware.

"I don’t have any evidence. But the guests attending Master Ji’s event, weren’t they all people of high status from the Imperial City, people with wealth and status who wouldn’t lack a watch? Only she—"

Pausing slightly, her disdainful eyes stared straight at Song Yinyin: "Everyone knows her status. Without relying on Mr. Lu’s connections, could she even enter? Guests here have all brought gifts, but what could she possibly bring?"

Someone in the crowd reminded.

"Mrs. Zhao, could it be that you accidentally dropped it in the backyard? Or perhaps left it on the washstand when you went to the restroom earlier?"

"Impossible!"

Mrs. Zhao raised her wrist with a sorrowful face and said, "I love this watch my husband gave me. I often touch it to feel at ease. Such an important thing, I’m very careful with it. I would never take it off my hand."

A lady accompanying Mrs. Zhao interjected at this moment: "Right, earlier Song Yinyin had a dispute with us in the backyard. Could it be that she took the opportunity to secretly retaliate against Mrs. Zhao, so..."

"Is that so... Then it really is possible that Song Yinyin stole Mrs. Zhao’s watch."

Someone who usually had a good relationship with Jiang Lan, helped Song Anqi by saying: "Why don’t you all look at Song Yinyin’s high-end dress, which costs at least hundreds of thousands. Where could she afford it? I think she stole the watch!"

"Yes, yes! Very likely!"

Song Yinyin instinctively clutched her dress tightly, but her face was uncontrollably turning pale.

She felt like a clown stripped of her clothing, judged by others, with no dignity at all.

She urgently defended herself: "I didn’t! I didn’t steal Mrs. Zhao’s watch!"

Someone let out a cold sneer and suggested: "If you want to know whether she stole Mrs. Zhao’s watch, just search her bag and you’ll know!"

The person suggesting this was none other than Jiang Lan.

Encouraged by this, Mrs. Zhao gained a bit more confidence and immediately stepped forward in her high heels to grab the bag that was hanging on Song Yinyin’s shoulder.

"What are you doing?!" Song Yinyin shouted, "I told you, I didn’t take your watch!"

"What you say doesn’t count; only a check can tell!" Mrs. Zhao, twisting her plump body, reached out and grabbed Song Yinyin’s handbag.

Song Yinyin’s hand was injured, so she couldn’t withstand such pulling, and cold sweat erupted from her forehead in pain.

Lu Jihan’s eyes instantly became as if poisoned.
