Just when everyone was accusing Xu Tian, Yan Hongyu took the initiative to stand up and said to Xiao Ren in a calm manner: "Steward Xiao, there is no need to search. I believe Xu Tian will not steal my watch."
Xiao Ren heard this and immediately said: "Master Hongyu, you know people but not their hearts. Besides, everyone who has been to the dressing room has been searched except Master Xu Tian. Now he is the only one who is special. Is this right for your other friends?"
Not fair?"
"And the reason why I want to check is not to doubt Master Xu Tian, but to clear his name. Now that everyone knows that your watch is lost, there will definitely be some rumors. If everyone misunderstands Master Xu Tian and thinks he is
Thief, that's not good."
"But..." Yan Hongyu was still a little confused, "Xu Tian is my cousin after all, how could I..."
"Hongyu, you still trust people too easily!" At this time, Aunt Yan walked out from the crowd, "Xu Tianzhen wants to be candid, and he will definitely take the initiative to take out the bag for everyone to check now. Since he refuses, why don't you show up?
You know it, but you have a guilty conscience. You have only known him for a short time and you trust him so much. Aren’t you afraid of being deceived?"
Hongyu stiffened, but he still quickly retorted: "Xu Tianzhen is really not such a person. He and I were once college alumni. I know him well, and he will never do such a petty theft!"
"Son, I know people but not their hearts. Let me ask you something. If he is really innocent and didn't steal anything, why doesn't he dare to let others check him?"
Aunt Yan hugged her shoulders and glanced at Xu Tian coldly.
"My eldest brother and sister-in-law are really capable. I behave badly and make the old man angry all day long. Now I just got a godson and I learned how to sneak around in a few days!"
Aunt Yan's words made everyone around them feel even more disgusted with Xu Tian and Yan Jinsong's family.
There have been several versions of gossip about how Yan Jinsong was kicked out of the Yan family. The most common one is that Yan Jinsong embezzled public funds, colluded with other companies, and seized the resources of the Yan Group. In the end, the incident came to light, and he was removed by the angry old man Yan.
Job, kicked out of the house.
Now those college classmates who originally had a good impression of Xu Tian took the initiative to step aside and draw a clear line with him.
And the wealthy young men who originally disliked Xu Tian because of Yan Hongyu's relationship had an attitude of watching a good show, waiting to see Xu Tian being searched and then getting the stolen goods.
Yan Jinsong and Su Xiuya looked a little ugly when they saw the people around them staring at them with disgust, but they also felt a little strange about the reactions of Xu Tian and Yan Qingxue.
They must have believed in Xu Tian and firmly believed that Xu Tian would not steal Yan Hongyu's watch, but now that it has been suspected by everyone, why not just open the bag and let everyone check it to clear their suspicions?
"Master Xu Tian, the engagement ceremony is about to begin. Just open the bag and let us check it. Please don't waste everyone's precious time anymore, okay?" Xiao Ren looked very embarrassed.
Xu Tian calmly looked at the middle-aged man standing in front of him and sneered: "You are not a law enforcer, what right do you have to check my briefcase?"
Xiao Ren's expression changed, and then he squeezed out a formulaic smile: "Although I am not a law enforcer, as a housekeeper, my duty is to retrieve the stolen watch for the second young master. Now, young master Xu Tian, you are suspected
, in order to prove your innocence, you should try your best to cooperate. If you really don’t have what I’m looking for in your bag, then I will personally apologize to you later.”
Xu Tian was unmoved by Xiao Ren's words: "Since you are not law enforcers, why can you decide whether I am a suspect or not? I know very well that I did not steal Yan Hongyu's watch, and I have no obligation to hand over my personal belongings to cooperate with your inspection.
."
Xiao Ren's smile froze on his face. He never expected that things would develop to this point. Xu Tian still refused to hand over the bag for inspection. Did this kid find something?
Then if he insists on refusing to hand over the bag, I really can't do anything to him.
Seeing that Xu Tian refused to take out the bag for everyone to check, Aunt Yan jumped out and shouted as if she had some handle on him: "Dad, Mom, this is not because I want to slander my nephew, Xu Tian, he
If you don’t have any evil intentions, why don’t you dare to take out the bag for us to inspect in an upright manner?”
Mr. Yan and Mrs. Yan stared at Xu Tian in silence for a long time before saying, "Xu Tian, if you really didn't take Hongyu's watch, open the bag and let everyone see it."
"Grandpa and grandma, of course I can open the bag for you to check, but today is Yan Hongyu's engagement ceremony. With so many guests present, if things get too big, I'm afraid it will affect the reputation of the Yan family." Xu Tian frowned, feeling a little embarrassed.
He looked at the two old men in front of him.
Seeing Xu Tian's attitude, Aunt Yan felt even more confident.
"You are admitting that you stole the watch, and you don't want to make the matter bigger and embarrass yourself, right? You are so young, how can you be so evil-hearted that you stole it from your cousin!"
"And you can't steal at any time, but you have to steal at our Hongyu's engagement ceremony. Isn't this a clear intention to embarrass our Yan family!"
"Looking at you, you look like a dead pig who is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. I guess this is not your first time stealing. Please tell us truthfully how many things you stole from us when you came to the old house for dinner."
Faced with Second Aunt Yan's unreasonable accusation, Xu Tian just responded lightly: "Second Aunt, you will be held legally responsible for defamation."
"Why did I slander you? Wasn't what I told the truth?" Aunt Yan was still reluctant.
"Okay! Stop arguing!" Mr. Yan growled, and then looked at Xiao Ren: "Butler Xiao, go check Xu Tian's briefcase."
"Grandpa." Xu Tian said coldly, "Since you insist on investigating, I can cooperate, but the scandal is ahead. If the results of the investigation really affect the reputation of the Yan family, it will all be borne by the second aunt, and I will
It’s irrelevant.”
After Xu Tian said that, he handed the briefcase in his hand to Xiao Ren.
The huge banquet hall suddenly became quiet. Everyone's eyes fell on Xu Tian's bag, waiting with bated breath for Xiao Ren's test results.
Xiao Ren took Xu Tian's briefcase confidently, opened the mezzanine next to it, and took out a finely crafted diamond watch from inside.
Aunt Yan seemed to gain confidence after seeing Xiao Ren take out his watch, so she started yelling even more fiercely.
"You both get the stolen goods! Xu Tian, you are the thief!"
Su Xiuya and Yan Jinsong, who originally believed in Xu Tian, were stunned when they saw that the watch was actually taken out of Xu Tian's briefcase.
They never expected that Xu Tian actually took Yan Hongyu's watch.
