"How could it be the Heart of the Ocean? Isn't there only one in the world?"
"If the one around her neck is the Heart of the Ocean, then what about Miss Lan Xi? Could hers be a fake?"
"It can't be that Mrs. Lu is wearing a fake. That's hardly possible."
"..."
These remarks were like thunderclaps, almost driving Lan Xi, who was standing on the platform, to the verge of collapse. She never expected that Shen Jianyi would be wearing the exact same accessory as her.
Lan Xi clenched her fists and walked step by step towards the woman. With her head held high, looking at the woman's expressionless face, the nameless anger in her heart flared up.
"Shen Jianyi, where did you buy that knock - off?" She snorted disdainfully. "Aren't you ashamed to wear it out?"
Before Shen Jianyi could say a word, Lan Xi couldn't wait to prove herself. "Mine is the real one. I had someone buy it specifically from a foreign designer. What about yours?"
Seeing her provoking like this, Shen Jianyi didn't show much emotion. Instead, she remained calm and aloof.
This made others think that Lan Xi was being the first to play the victim. By questioning the other party first, she hoped the audience wouldn't suspect that the one she was wearing was fake.
However, Shen Jianyi's non -chalance and cold attitude gave people the impression that she didn't want to argue with this woman.
The other guests were more inclined to believe that what Shen Jianyi was wearing was real. She was so calm that she seemed like a low - key rich woman.
Seeing that Shen Jianyi didn't reply for a long time and people around were starting to doubt her, Lan Xi grabbed Shen Jianyi's arm tightly. Red marks appeared on the woman's fair arm. Shen Jianyi frowned slightly but quickly regained her composure.
"Let go."
Lan Xi continued to hold on, as if she didn't understand what Shen Jianyi was saying.
Shen Jianyi didn't have much patience. She took a deep breath, and her eyelashes fluttered slightly. "I said let go!"
The other woman was startled and quickly let go. Shen Jianyi suddenly leaned in. With her head lowered, she looked so superior.
The woman's voice was cold and full of momentum. "Lan Xi, I don't want to argue with you about the Heart of the Ocean. This accessory means nothing to me. I just want to know, why did you confess your love to my man in public?"
They all thought Shen Jianyi's focus would be on the Heart of the Ocean. After all, which woman in the world didn't love jewelry? And which woman didn't hate it when someone else wore the same thing as them? Moreover, there was only one Heart of the Ocean, so one of them must be wearing a fake.
Lan Xi was trying her best to prove that what she was wearing was real, but Shen Jianyi told her that what she wanted to settle now was the confession just now.
If Shen Jianyi hadn't brought it up, others might have already forgotten about that fiasco.
The scene was extremely awkward.
Lan Xi took two steps back and stepped on the cake. Her skirt was covered in cream. Her expression gradually turned ugly, and even her features were distorted.
This was in sharp contrast to the little princess who was once praised to the skies. Countless reporters were secretly taking pictures.
Lan Xi covered her face with her hands and shouted at the top of her lungs. "Stop taking pictures! Stop it all of you! I'll sue you for infringement of my portrait rights."
These reporters were the ones she had invited on her own initiative. With her consent, they weren't afraid at all.
Countless camera flashes were like cannons firing all at once. Lan Xi was so dazzled that she couldn't even open her eyes.
At this time, Lan Xi's parents and relatives quickly came over to shield their daughter and told the security guards to drive all the reporters out.
Unfortunately, there were too many reporters. Two security guards couldn't drive them away, although they were doing their best. Lan Xi was also trying to avoid the cameras as much as possible.
Just when they thought it was over, there was a jewelry designer in the crowd. He had the privilege of seeing the Heart of the Ocean once, and it had left a deep impression on him. Under the light, the Heart of the Ocean would sparkle with a blue color like the ocean.
However, the gemstone around Lan Xi's neck now showed a pure white color. It was just an ordinary diamond. She had been deceived.
This jewelry designer stood out from the crowd and took the center position.
He raised his hands, asking the reporters to stop for now and the people whispering on both sides to be quiet. He coughed. "I'm a jewelry designer, and I have something to say to everyone!"
In the following time, he told the other guests how to distinguish the real Heart of the Ocean, and they immediately recognized the truth.
The fact that Lan Xi was wearing a fake was almost known to the whole network. These reporters were like a pack of crazy hungry wolves, and Lan Xi was like a lost goat, being mercilessly photographed by them.
Under the camera flashes, Shen Jianyi wasn't the least bit flustered. She curled her red lips and smiled triumphantly. "I told you. There's going to be a good show tonight."
Lu Jinsheng gently tapped the woman's nose with his finger, his face full of doting. The tenderness in his eyes was like a gentle stream. "You're really ruthless. This time, the Lan family will bear the blame without me having to do anything."
"She provoked me." Shen Jianyi left only these few short words and then turned around and walked out.
In the chaos just now, Xu Wenji had already left with the fake chip. He thought Shen Jianyi would chase after him immediately, but unexpectedly, she didn't move at all.
She left the hotel.
It was a bit cold at night, with a gentle east wind blowing. The woman's long flowing hair fluttered in the wind. She tucked the stray hairs in front of her forehead behind her ears and immediately saw Xia Liang's car.
She pointed at it. Then, she felt some weight on her shoulder. When Shen Jianyi turned her head, she saw the man's suit jacket had been draped over her slender shoulders.
"Tsk, you're quite considerate." Shen Jianyi took two steps forward and then turned to look at the man standing in place. "You go pick up Lu Ziqian. I'll go back first."
"Be careful on the way."
Lu Jinsheng knew that Shen Jianyi didn't like seeing Lu Ziqian. Moreover, all the ideas tonight were thought up by him to help Lan Xi. He thought he could get away with it, but in fact, Shen Jianyi had already known.
So after seeing Xia Liang's car, Lu Jinsheng didn't force the woman to sit in his car.
After a while, Lu Ziqian inside bent over and walked out with a snake - headed walking stick. He looked dejected. He must have suffered a lot of humiliation inside.
As soon as he came out, he pouted. "This Lan family is nothing like I thought!"
Lu Jinsheng leaned against the car body, a smile playing on his lips. "What do you mean?"
"A bunch of villains. They look shiny on the surface, but secretly they always want to climb onto our family's high branch. They're not even as good as Shen Jianyi at home."
