After Vin expressed his apology, she tactfully expressed that Lin Qingqian could attend the celebration party.
The Ling Family would participate. At that time, Lin Qingqian could go to the Ling Family to plead for mercy. Perhaps there was still room for negotiation.
It was impossible for her to go and plead for mercy, but she had to figure out who was messing with her behind her back. She couldn’t suffer this loss for no reason.
Lin Qingqian did not tell Suisui and the others about this for the time being because she didn’t want them to worry.
Xiao Bai was not in good health, and Su Ying was not used to participating in such a crowded gathering, so only Suisui accompanied her.
The venue of the celebration party was at a five-star hotel in Lan City. When Lin Qingqian brought Suisui in, many guests had already arrived.
Other than the upper echelons of Z Magazine, there were also many celebrities with good relationships who came to stand on the stage. There were also some socialites from Lan City.
Vin saw Lin Qingqian and immediately walked over. “Qingqian, you’re here.”
Lin Qingqian nodded. “Is the Ling Family here?”
Vin gestured at the few young and beautiful girls in the middle of the banquet hall. “The person in the pink gown is the daughter of the Ling Family.”
When Lin Qingqian looked over, Suisui was already the first to speak. “Hey, that woman looks familiar!”
“So it’s her.” Lin Qingqian recognized her at a glance. She was Ling Shuang, who had a conflict with her at the bar previously.
The person wearing a white gown beside her was none other than Li Ruzhu, whom she had not seen for a long time.
From the looks of it, the old and new grudges had to be settled today.
Sensing that someone was looking at her, Li Ruzhu turned her head to meet Lin Qingqian’s clear eyes. The red wine glass in her hand swayed gently, and the corners of her mouth curled up in undisguised smugness.
“A white lotus!” Suisui didn’t have a good expression when she saw Li Ruzhu.
Vin was puzzled. “You know each other?”
Lin Qingqian smiled faintly. “Not only do we know each other, our fate is not shallow.”
Vin understood what she meant and lowered her voice. “Let’s go and apologize to Miss Ling. I’ll mediate for you. Perhaps this matter will be resolved.” “What?” When Suisui heard her words, she couldn’t help but raise her voice.
Lin Qingqian patted her arm in time, signaling her not to speak.
Suisui snorted unhappily.
Vin looked at Lin Qingqian hesitantly. “Is there a problem?”
Lin Qingqian smiled. “No problem.”
Vin: “Then let’s go over.”
Lin Qingqian and Suisui followed Vin to the few young ladies.
Vin smiled. “Miss Ling, this is the person-in-charge of Shi Guang Studio, Lin Qingqian!”
The few young ladies who were originally smiling immediately stopped smiling and sized up Lin Qingqian as if they were watching a good show.
Ling Shuang raised her chin with a high up in the air attitude and snorted disdainfully.
Suisui felt so disgusted by their pretentious appearance that she wanted to vomit. Especially this woman called Ling Shuang. Why was her chin raised so high? Was she afraid of breaking her silicone on the cushion?
Lin Qingman was not angry at all. Her expression was calm, ana tnere was even a smile at the corner of her mouth.
Vin’s gaze lingered between the two of them as she tried to smooth things over.
“Miss Ling, there might be some misunderstanding between you and Qingqian. Can you let me be the peacemaker today? No matter what happened in the past, can we let it pass today?”
“Sure.” Ling Shuang smiled. Before Vin could rejoice, she said casually, “As long as she kneels down in public today and kowtow to me to apologize.”
At this moment, Vin’s expression changed.
Suisui was even more furious. “Are you crazy? You want Qingqian to kowtow and apologize to you? Are you dead? You want someone to kowtow and worship you?!”
Ling Shuang’s face darkened as she looked at Suisui gloomily. “Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like this!”
“What?” Suisui retorted aggressively, “Do you really think you’re from the Imperial Family just because others call you Princess? The Imperial Family is already extinct! ! ”
Ling Shuang was angry, but when she thought about how Lin Qingqian no longer had Jiang Yanshen as her backer, this girl was even more insignificant.
A cold smile appeared on her lips. “Lin Qingqian, are you going to kneel or not? If you don’t, not to mention working with Z magazine, I’ll make sure you can’t survive in this industry.”
Lin Qingqian’s expression was indifferent, and her red lips curled up slightly. “Will you let me go if I kneel?”
Ling Shuang nodded. “Yes, I’ll consider it.”
Lin Qingqian curved her lips. “If I don’t kneel, are you going to ban me from the industry?”
Ling Shuang: “Yes.”
Lin Qingqian’s clear eyes shifted to Li Ruzhu beside her. “Miss Li, your methods of coaxing people are really brilliant! First, it’s Madam Jiang, then it’s Miss Ling. Does it give you a sense of accomplishment to play with others?”
Li Ruzhu blinked, looking weak and harmless. “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
“Isn’t Miss Ling targeting me so that she can stand up for you?” Lin Qingqian asked.
Before Li Ruzhu could finish speaking, Ling Shuang said, “So what if I’m standing up for Ruzhu!”
“Nothing much!” Lin Qingqian smiled slightly. “Suisui, help me call the police.”
Not only Li Ruzhu, but Suisui was also stunned. “Call the police?”
Lin Qingqian nodded. “I realized that someone had stolen my things. Call the police to come over and catch the thief.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Ruzhu’s expression instantly changed.
Ling Shuang frowned. “What things?”
Lin Qingqian’s calm gaze landed on Li Ruzhu. “The clothes she’s wearing are mine. Taking them without asking is stealing. Of course I can call the police!”
Ling Shuang looked at Li Ruzhu, and a trace of panic flashed across her eyes. She pretended to be calm and said, “Yours? You’re talking nonsense! This dress was given to me by Madam Jiang!”
Lin Qingqian pursed her lips. ‘You mean, Madam Jiang stole my clothes?”
Li Ruzhu: “…’
She couldn’t answer this question. Once Madam Jiang was involved and she lost face, it would be very difficult for her to win Madam Jiang’s protection in the future.
Ling Shuang snorted coldly. “You claim that it’s yours? What evidence do you have?”
“This gown was designed for me by a designer from Paris. My surname is embroidered on the label of the dress.” Lin Qingqian smiled faintly. “Do you dare to take it off and let everyone take a look?”
Li Ruzhu’s face turned pale, and her beautiful crystal nails dug into her palms.
Her forehead involuntarily seeped with sweat, and she pursed her lips in silence.
In order to support her, Ling Shuang said domineeringly, “So what!”
Lin Qingqian smiled faintly. “Do you know who gave this dress to me?”
Ling Shuang was stunned. Jiang Yanshen’s gloomy and terrifying face flashed across her mind, and her breathing paused slightly before she quickly calmed down.
“Lin Qingqian, stop acting mysterious. So what if the clothes were given to you by that person?” She provoked. “Does he care about you now?”
Lin Qingqian didn’t speak because two uniformed police officers walked in. “Who called the police?”
“Me! Me!” Suisui couldn’t wait to raise her hand so that the policeman could see her.
Ling Shuang and Li Ruzhu’s expressions immediately turned ugly. They didn’t expect Suisui to really call the police while they were talking.
Lin Qingqian gave Suisui an approving look.
The cop said, “What’s going on?”
Suisui immediately pointed at Li Ruzhu. “She stole my friend’s clothes!” “I didn’t!” Li Ruzhu hurriedly retorted.
The police officer looked at Li Ruzhu and then at Lin Qingqian. “Did she steal your clothes?”
Lin Qingqian nodded. “Yes.”
“Do you have any evidence?” the policeman asked again.
Lin Qingqian said neither humbly nor arrogantly, “There’s a label with my surname on the clothes, and the invoice for the clothes is also with me.”
The police officer looked around and saw that they were all famous people. He made a prompt decision and said, “How about this? The two of you follow us back to the police station. We’ll investigate clearly.”
When Li Ruzhu heard this, she looked at Ling Shuang for help. “Shuang
Shuang…”
Ling Shuang: “Don’t be anxious. I’ll call the Corporation’s lawyer immediately and guarantee that you’ll be fine.”
Lin Qingqian looked at Vin apologetically. “I’m sorry, I’m not here to make peace today.”
She was purely here to deal with b*tches.
Vin’s expression was not very good. The celebration party was proceeding well but now, even the cops were here. Still, the fault wasn’t with Lin Qingqian, so she couldn’t say anything.
From the corner of her eye, she glanced at Ling Shuang, who was on the phone, and said in a low voice, “Do you need me to hire a lawyer for you?”
Lin Qingqian rejected her good intentions. “I can handle it. You guys continue with the celebration party.”
Vin didn’t say anything else and watched them leave.
Lin Qingqian and Li Ruzhu had just alighted from the police car when they saw Jiang Yanshen and the lawyer sent by Ling Shuang coming down from the car beside them.
In the car, Lin Qingqian sent Song Qin a WeChat message and asked her to send the receipt for the clothes over. She didn’t expect Jiang Yanshen to come personally.
As soon as Li Ruzhu saw Jiang Yanshen, she immediately looked expectant. “Brother Yanshen…
Jiang Yanshen’s cold eyes didn’t even give her a glance. He walked past her and directly walked in front of Lin Qingqian. His eyes gradually became gentle as he said in a low and hoarse voice, “Are you alright?”
Lin Qingqian shook her head. “Why did you come personally?”
Jiang Yanshen didn’t answer. He turned his head and gave Song Qin a look.
Song Qin hurriedly handed the prepared receipt, purchase information, and the designer’s video to the police. “Director Jiang specially requested the designer to customize this dress for Miss Lin Qingqian. This is all the evidence.”
Li Ruzhu’s face instantly turned pale. She didn’t expect him to organize the evidence so quickly.
He really had no feelings for her at all. Why did he have to be so ruthless?
The police officer took the information and glanced at it briefly before nodding. “I’ll accept this information for the time being, but you still have to follow us in. We have to verify this information.”
He looked at Lin Qingqian.
Lin Qingqian: “I’m fine with it.”
Li Ruzhu’s face was pale and she didn’t speak. The lawyer spoke in her place.
Jiang Yanshen looked down at Lin Qingqian and said in a low voice, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
Lin Qingqian: ‘
I wasn’t afraid to begin with! The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them when she met his warm and concerned gaze.
Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian were invited to the lounge, and Li Ruzhu was taken to the interrogation room to be questioned by the police.
Although Li Ruzhu had a lawyer to defend her, she couldn’t withstand the multitude of ironclad evidence. The lawyer found an excuse to go out and call Miss Ling.
Li Ruzhu struggled for a long time before finally asking the police for her cell phone to make a call…
