"You," Luo Fu's face was somewhat grim.
Ali, standing beside him, gritted her teeth, the words of persuasion she was about to utter immediately swallowed back.
If Li Yang questioned her wedding dress, would she take it off or not?
If she didn't, how could she justify her earlier demand for Shui Xiang to remove her jewelry to prove her innocence? But if she did take it off, with so many people watching, what dignity would she have left?
She might as well become a concubine from now on!
Especially since many people present agreed with Li Yang. "Mr. Luo, don't try to speak well of Boss Du. Forget Boss Li, any man, if his woman is forced to remove jewelry, to prove her innocence in public, one piece isn't enough, she has to remove them all, it's unbearable for any man."
"Exactly, if it were you, Mr. Luo, you surely couldn't tolerate it either."
"Boss Du, we're all in the jade industry, and we must be responsible for our words. Aren't you going to apologize?"
"Mr. Luo," Boss Du looked at Luo Fu, hoping he would speak up for him again.
But Luo Fu glared at him with an expression of anger and said, "Boss Du, apologize!"
"I, I'm sorry," Boss Du said, bowing his head helplessly.
Li Yang said, "Is the business too small? Do you have any sincerity at all?"
"You, fine, Boss Li, I'll say it loudly, I'm sorry! Is that acceptable?" Boss Du said through gritted teeth.
Li Yang chuckled, "Fine, you can go."
"Hmph!" Boss Du snorted and turned to leave.
The crowd shook their heads, saying, "This Boss Du, he clearly made a mistake, yet he dares to be so arrogant."
"He doesn't have any intention of apologizing at all."
"Boss Li is giving Mr. Luo face by not pursuing it further, otherwise, he would surely make Boss Du look bad."
"He should have been punched!"
"Thank you all for speaking up for us. Feel free to visit the Fuhao Gambling Stone Market anytime in the future." Li Yang said with a smile.
Shui Xiang immediately handed out business cards to everyone, "We will be very happy to welcome all of you."
"You two bosses are too polite, it was just a small effort. No need for thanks," the crowd said with smiles, their impression of the two improving even more.
Moreover, the Fuhao Gambling Stone Market was quite influential. If they had any matters concerning jade in the future, they might be able to seek help from the two of them.
Not only did they have face, but they also had substance. How could they not like such people?
In just a short while, the two of them had mingled with everyone.
Seeing them chatting and laughing harmoniously, Luo Fu's face turned frighteningly grim. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Tell me the truth, did you give me the jade I prepared properly!"
"It was definitely given properly! And I specifically told Shui Xiang to wear the set of jade jewelry I sent to attend our wedding."
Ali immediately said, "And I also said just now, judging by the style, it really is the set I sent back then!"
"Could it be that you just made a mistake and sent a genuine set?"
"Absolutely impossible!" Luo Fu said decisively.
If one or two genuine pieces were mistaken, he could attribute it to his own negligence, but if the entire set was genuine, how muddled would his mind have to be!
"It must be that this woman saw that the jewelry had problems and swapped it for a genuine set of the same style when she came."
"Doesn't that mean she saw that we were trying to scheme against her?" Ali's face changed drastically, and she said nervously, "What should we do now?"
"What are you panicking about? Judging by this woman's demeanor, she doesn't seem to have seen through it. Perhaps she only saw that the jade had a problem, but after all, it was said by you, her former friend, and she couldn't bear to expose it, so she used a genuine set of the same style."
The more Luo Fu spoke, the more he felt his guess was correct. His eyes twinkled with cold light as he said, "If that's the case, then we still have a chance."
"As long as we can make her a target of public condemnation today, we will have completed the task assigned by that person."
"But how should we do it?" Ali asked.
Luo Fu sneered and said, "You go over now and ask that woman to go to the dressing room. I'll arrange for my people to wait there, and then you can falsely accuse her of stealing your valuable items."
"Isn't that too simple?" Ali was stunned for a moment, feeling it was too easy. Moreover, Shui Xiang was so wealthy, how could she openly steal her things, and how could anyone believe it?
Luo Fu said, "The simpler the matter, the fewer flaws there are. And this trap I've set is the ultimate trap!"
"From ancient times to the present, there has been a saying called 'a dead end with no proof'!"
"Just do as I say, I guarantee she won't be able to defend herself!"
"Then I'll go." Ali, hearing him say this, went forward, but still found it hard to believe.
How could such a simple trap be a dead end?
It was simply overestimating his own inferior methods!
But in fact, Luo Fu was not wrong, this was indeed a dead end!
Once someone is slandered, only the persecutor knows that the person is innocent, and it is difficult for others to prove their innocence.
But how could the perpetrator tell others that the victim was innocent and blameless? How could they testify for the victim?
Therefore, this was definitely a dead end where one could not defend themselves!
Simple yet terrifying!
"Shui Xiang, the banquet is about to begin soon, I want to touch up my makeup. Can you accompany me to the dressing room?" Ali walked over, smiling.
Shui Xiang looked at Li Yang hesitantly, "What do you think?"
"Go ahead, you've been good friends for many years, you must have a lot to say in private," Li Yang nodded with a smile, then took out his phone and put it in her pocket. "Take your phone."
"Mine?" Shui Xiang was stunned, then nodded, "I almost forgot, my phone was with you just now."
"Then I'll go now."
"Let's go." Ali put her arm around her and walked towards the dressing room with a smile.
As soon as Shui Xiang entered, she saw several makeup artists and emcees inside, looking surprised. "Is this for everyone?"
"Yes, we are all women, and we always need makeup," Ali said with a smile, then opened a jewelry box, took out a jade ring, and put it into her hand, saying, "This is an imperial green jade, worth over forty million. I want to give it to you to show that our friendship is more sincere and beautiful than jade, forever and ever."
"This is too valuable, I can't accept it." Shui Xiang was greatly shocked, unable to believe it. Because she could see that this imperial green jade ring was actually real!
This meant that the gift Ali was giving her was indeed worth tens of millions!
This surprised Shui Xiang, and at the same time, she was filled with confusion. Since this was real, did Ali not know about the matter with Boss Du earlier, and was Mr. Luo solely responsible?
And was she just using her to scheme against her?
