“Why aren’t you taking out your bag? Why are you dawdling?”

Liu Yiyi’s face was full of impatience. As soon as the words fell, she immediately reached out to snatch Gu Wan’an’s bag.

Gu Wan’an’s body dodged to the right, causing her hand to miss. Her face darkened as she stared at her coldly.

Unconsciously, Liu Yiyi swallowed her saliva while her hand subconsciously retracted.

She was inexplicably flustered and scared.

Gu Wan’an’s face was cold. “You want to see my bag? Sure, but you have to bet something.”

“What do you mean?”

“What if the necklace isn’t in my bag?”

Liu Yiyi sneered.

What a daydream.

She was the one who put the necklace in, so how could it not be there?

“What do you want to bet?”

“Apologize to me three times in front of everyone.” Gu Wan’an raised her eyebrows and thought about it.

“Sure.”

“And–”

“What else?” Liu Yiyi interrupted impatiently.

“You have to clean all the toilets on this floor.”

“Alright.”

Liu Yiyi replied carelessly. She crossed her arms in front of her chest, her face full of excitement and anticipation.

Hmph, Shen Ziqing, you’re dead!

Gu Wan’an calmly took out her bag and opened it.

At once, everyone held their breath and focused their eyes on her, afraid that they would miss the next exciting scene.

The next second, she raised her hand and dumped all the things inside the bag onto the ground.

Lipstick, a mirror, an air cushion, hand cream, and even a small bag of cotton swabs. The only thing missing was a necklace.

Liu Yiyi was dumbfounded.

The smile in Zhou Shutong’s eyes froze, and she stood rooted to the spot.

The others also looked at each other. What was going on? In the bag… It was not there?

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How is this possible?!” Liu Yiyi shook her head in disbelief.

“Why not? I didn’t steal it, so, of course, it’s not in the bag.” Gu Wan’an chuckled. “If Miss Liu still has any doubts, you can search me.”

Liu Yiyi, who had been provoked, did not hold back. She stepped forward and searched Gu Wan’an’s body with both hands.

However, she found nothing.

Gu Wan’an tidied up her crumpled dress and said kindly, “Do you want to search the assistant’s bag too?”

Liu Yiyi’s face paled, and her chest rose up and down violently. “Shen Ziqing, you must have hidden the necklace in advance!”

“It’s just a broken necklace. It’s not like I can’t afford it. Is there a need to sacrifice my reputation?” Gu Wan’an gave a half-smile and calmly looked askance at the furious Liu Yiyi.

Everyone felt that what she said made sense and began to doubt Liu Yiyi.

“What do you mean by broken necklace? Shutong’s necklace has a rare emerald. It’s worth 100 million, which is enough to match all of the Shen family’s assets.”

Hearing this, Zhou Shutong also spoke up promptly, wanting to direct the blame onto Gu Wan’an. “Yes, that necklace is indeed worth 100 million yuan. I specially brought it out to the auction this time because I wanted to contribute to charity. I didn’t expect…”

Seeing the two of them sing along, Gu Wan’an sneered.

“Miss Liu is so familiar with the value of the necklace. I have the right to suspect that she stole the necklace and then deliberately framed me, don’t I?”

“Shen Ziqing, don’t you dare slander me! ” Liu Yiyi was annoyed.

Gu Wan’an smiled. “I’ve already proven myself. Don’t you dare?”

“I’ll prove it then. Do you think I’m afraid of you?” Liu Yiyi gritted her teeth fiercely, unzipped her bag, and poured the contents of her bag onto the ground. “Open your dog eyes and take a good look!”

Looking at the ground, Gu Wan’an widened her eyes in surprise and covered her mouth pretentiously. “I didn’t expect it to really be in your bag.”

“Shen Ziqing, what are you talking about?”

Liu Yiyi accidentally glanced at the emerald necklace on the ground and swallowed her words.

It was as if she had been struck by lightning!
