Flies

Everyone turned their attention to the newcomer wearing a black formal suit.

"It's...Young Master Fu? How is he here?"

"Did he just say that the necklace was his gift?"

Everyone stared at the handsome young man walking elegantly towards Jiang Yue.

"I'm sorry, I'm late." He said. His voice is low and husky as he looked at Jiang Yue gently.

His gentle gaze did not escape everyone's prying eyes. Jiang Yue just smiled at him in response. Somehow, she felt comforted that Fu Jin is already here.

Fu Jin's sudden appearance is out of Jiang Mian's expectations. She felt fear slowly crept in her heart. Fu Jin just said that the necklace was his gift. Does that mean that Jiang Yue did not wear the necklace given by Jiang Chanming? If that's the case, then...

"Fu Jin I... what are you doing here?" Jiang Mian walked towards Fu Jin. Her tone is friendly. As if they are already acquainted with each other.

"Do not call me by my name! I do not know you!" Fu Jin grumbled.

Jiang Mian paled after she heard Fu Jin. What does he mean by he doesn't know her? Didn't he hear all the rumors?

Jiang Mian assumed that Fu Jin did not stop the rumors from spreading because he also liked her.

"Young Master Fu, do not fall for Jiang Yue's tricks. She is bullying her sister. Do not protect her. She clearly stole that necklace from her sister." Someone from the crowd blurted.

This made Fu Jin's gaze turned colder. "Steal? Are you implying that I am lying?" he said as he raised an eyebrow to the people around them. "This is my grandmother's necklace given by my grandfather. He named it the Jadeite's heart, but you all know it as the Burr's Jade Star. It disappeared in the '80s because my grandfather bought it for my grandmother."

Fu Jin's explanation made everyone take a second look at the beautiful necklace hanging in Jiang Yue's neck. They are indeed familiar with the most expensive Jade sold in history. However, they never thought that it would appear here. And would even cause a commotion.

"Look at the clasp of that necklace, it's made of rubies and diamonds. It seems that Young Master Fu is telling the truth."

"Does that mean that Miss Jiang Yue is being slandered by her sister? I thought her sister was the kindhearted one. Tsk. Tsk."

"Look at her crying and acting pitiful in front of everyone. A classic example of a white lotus."

"Hmph... She almost fooled us. How can someone who looked so innocent and pure do that?"

When Lu Qian and Jiang Mian heard everyone's statement, they can't help but tremble in fear.

"Little Yue, the police is here." Wang Minghua's sudden statement made both Lu Qian and Jiang Mian realize that they are really in trouble this time.

"Elder sister. Young Master Fu. It was just a misunderstanding. I really thought it was my necklace. Maybe it only looked the same. I'm sorry. I... I apologize for accusing you. I... Elder sister please don't let the police take me. It was just a misunderstanding." Jiang Mian's slurred. Her attitude made a sudden turned as she pleaded to Jiang Yue.

"I already asked you to make sure that it is yours. You even cried and act as if I bullied you. Let me tell you something, Jiang Mian." Jiang Yue made sure to pause and looked at Yu Chen. Her gaze sharp and cold. "I am tired of pretending. I am not a nice person. I tried to avoid you and your mother in hopes that you will not target me. But what did you do? You created rumors. Rumors to ruin my reputation. You even planned everything with your boyfriend!"

"Wha.. what are you saying elder sister? I know you hate me because of what happened tonight, but I never created rumors against you. I... even tried to convince everyone that those rumors are not true." Jiang Mian lied looking as pitiful as ever.

"Jiang Yue stop saying nonsense. I never planned anything with Jiang Mian. I don't have anything to do with those rumors!" Yu Chen immediately denied. He is somewhat feeling nervous because of Jiang Yue's sharp gaze. It is making him feel like Jiang Yue knew his true intentions.

"Really? Do you think I don't have any evidence? Well, I don't slander people. I am not like you and your group of friends. I don't bark without any evidence! Or have you forgotten your little rendezvous with your little boyfriend to discuss your plans for both of your 'future'?"

Both Jiang Mian and Yu Chen's eyes widened in fear. Did Jiang Yue know everything from the start?

"Minghua pass me my phone." Jiang Yue said. Her gaze never left Jiang Mian and Yu Chen.

She is starting to feel like these two were also targeting her in her previous life. Like all of what happened were all according to their plans.

Minghua immediately gives Jiang Yue her phone.

"See this? This contains the evidence of you plotting behind my back." She smirked at them.

"Jiang Yue don't go overboard. Your sister already said that it was her mistake. Why are you taking it this far?" Lu Qian suddenly blurted.

"Fool." Jiang Yue looked at Lu Qian. Her eyes are full of mockery. "Jiang Mian instigated you to create a ruckus, yet you are still protecting her. Did a donkey kick your head?"

Jiang Yue's words made Lu Qian freeze. She is right. This had nothing to do with her at all. Yet, she was the one who approached Jiang Yue and created a scene. She looked at Jiang Mian as fury started to boil in her veins.

"You- you used me?" Her eyes turned red in anger before she pounced at Jiang Mian. "B*tch! HOW DARE YOU? I WILL KILL YOU!"

The scene turned chaotic as Yu Chen tried to stop Lu Qian from attacking Jiang Mian. The headmistress also joined to try and stop the girls from fighting.

Seeing the chaotic scene in front of her, Jiang Yue can't help but feel a little disappointed. She wasn't done! She was about to unveil Jiang Mian's mask!

What bad luck!

"Officer, please take everyone who tried to create a ruckus. I will formally file a complaint tomorrow morning." Jiang Yue said. For some reason, her anger slowly disappeared after seeing Fu Jin.

The police took everyone involved in the commotion.

After all the troublemakers left, the environment turned awkward. After all, almost all of the guest judged Jiang Yue.

"Everyone, we apologize for the inconvenience. But the party is still not over. We still want everyone to enjoy themselves. In a while, there will be a series of presentations for all of us to enjoy. Again, I apologize to everyone." Jiang Yue then bowed in front of the remaining guest.

Everyone can't help but feel embarrassed by their previous actions. The girl in front of them is clearly sensible and smart. How can they accuse her of stealing?

"Everyone, I am Fu Jin from the Fu family. I would also like to make this chance to clear up all rumors." Fu Jin started saying as he roamed his gaze into the crowd. "I never knew Jiang Yue's sister. This means that there is no engagement between the two of us. Now many of you might ask why I am here. That is because I am pursuing Jiang Yue! I already asked her to marry me, but for some reason she refused. So, I am taking every chance I have to woo her and I will never stop until she says yes..." He said. Eyes full of determination.

Fu Jin's statement made everyone including Jiang Yue dumbstruck. Why is he telling everyone these things?

This is very embarrassing ah. Why is this Fu Jin too... abnormal? Even letting everyone know of his feelings for her.

"Now, you might ask, why I am saying all this in front of you? I am doing this to warn other flies to stay away from Jiang Yue or you will face the whole Fu Conglomerate!" He declared.

Jiang Yue can't help her eyes from twitching. Did this guy just threaten her guests? How... how shameless!
