Let’s show off, I am my ex-husband’s Bai Yueguang

Chapter 47 Repayment
Mother Lu's question made Ji Yao not know how to answer for a moment. What she wanted to say seemed to make sense.

"I really didn't do it. Maybe someone else sneaked it in while I wasn't paying attention and wanted to frame it and put the blame on me?"

Ji Yao's words were half true and half false. This thing was indeed not hers, but the so-called someone secretly put it in just now was obviously impossible.

Lu Jincheng also had a headache when he saw that some of the guests watching were not bothered by the excitement. He rubbed his brows and slowly walked towards the two of them.

"Okay, stop talking about these things. Regardless of whether this is a family matter or not, it should not be discussed at the banquet."

Lu Jincheng said this for the sake of the Lu family, but Lu's mother decided to tell the story about the body search from the beginning. It was obvious that she wanted to discredit Ji Yao in the upper class circles.

"But my jewelry is clearly hers..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Lu Jincheng. She saw Lu Jincheng's brows were furrowed, and there was a sharpness in his body. His voice was undeniable.

Mother Lu didn't dare to say anything more now.

Forget it, she can settle the score with Ji Yaoqiu anyway. Her goal has been achieved, and there is really no need to embarrass the Lu family.

Thinking of this, Mother Lu didn't say anything more, but turned her head to look at the guests. Before she could apologize, Lu Jincheng spoke first.

"I'm sorry, something like this happened today. I hope you don't mind it. Let's continue the banquet. I will definitely take care of the family affairs."

Lu Jincheng smiled. He has a strong ability to control the situation. It is thanks to his ability to control the overall situation that he has been able to achieve what he has achieved so far, and even became a CEO with countless net worth.

Ji Yao's heart moved slightly. She originally thought that Lu Jincheng was going to criticize herself in front of everyone, but it seemed that Lu Jincheng gave herself a step down. Did she want to hear her explanation?
Ji Yao slowly raised her head. She didn't even notice that this little bit of trust already made her eyes wet with tears.

Perhaps she had experienced too much distrust before, so she felt that this moment was very rare.

Suddenly remembering the time when she and Lu Jincheng were together, Ji Yao bit her lower lip, leaving deep and shallow marks on her lower lip.

Ji Yao didn't know how the banquet was held afterwards, because she always felt that she was being watched by others, and she didn't want to accept the judgment of other people's eyes.

It doesn't matter, as long as you live your life well anyway, besides, doesn't Lu Jincheng do that just because he wants to listen to what she has to say?

After all the guests were sent away, Ji Yao was already called to the room by Lu Jincheng before Mother Lu came to settle the accounts.

Ji Yao had not been to Lu Jincheng's study for a long time. It was still neat and orderly. The moment he walked in with black and white tones similar to abstinence, he felt an inexplicable feeling and his heart became peaceful.

He walked to the desk and sat down on the chair, but his eyes were not gentle, but looked at Ji Yao like a prisoner.

"Do you have anything to say?"

Ji Yao thought that this was because Lu Jincheng was willing to listen to her explanation, so she took a step forward, but she didn't realize that she felt a little excited because of Lu Jincheng's words.

"I really didn't steal that thing. It was Ji Zimo who brought it to me and told me that you asked me to bring that piece of jewelry to the banquet, but I felt something was wrong, so I didn't wear it. It's a pity that she still used other methods to plot her."

Ji Yao was full of emotions and wanted to vent them, but the more Lu Jincheng heard Ji Yao's words, the darker his face became.He didn't know where Ji Yao's face came from, so he gave her a chance to explain that she dared to throw trouble on Ji Zimo.

"Why don't you look for your own problems instead of thinking that the fault lies with Zimo? Do you hate her so much and want to pour dirty water on her so much?"

Lu Jincheng's voice was like a basin of cold water, pouring Ji Yao from head to toe. It also made Ji Yao realize that this was not the so-called belief at all.

He didn't believe in himself, he just didn't want the matter to get worse and worse, and eventually disgrace the Lu family.

After thinking about this matter clearly, a bitter smile appeared on Ji Yao's lips.

Sure enough, I had too much hope for him, but he failed to achieve anything, so it was inevitable that I would be disappointed.

Ji Yao thought that he could trust herself and listen to her explanation, but he failed to do so. Instead, he preconceived the idea that the jewelry was indeed stolen by him. So what's the point of explaining it?

Ji Yao suddenly fell silent. She didn't want to make any more excuses. Ji Zimo had poured a lot of dirty water on her since he came back, but Lu Jincheng actually believed them all.

If he believed Ji Zimo's words so much, why did he ask himself these words, just to force himself to say what he wanted to hear?

"You've said that, what else can I say?"

Ji Yao's voice was extremely cold when she said this. She even lowered her eyes, and the original light in her eyes dimmed and lost its luster.

Lu Jincheng didn't know why, but he knew it was Ji Yao in his heart, and he wouldn't believe it even if Ji Yao explained again.

Maybe Ji Yao gave him too many stereotypes during this period. Even if he stole too much of Mother Lu's jewelry and sold it, it might still be reasonable.

"So, where did you put the stolen jewelry? Give the jewelry back."

Lu Jincheng lowered his head, as if he already knew that Ji Yao would answer this way.

Ji Yao didn't expect that Lu Jincheng would actually take it seriously when she casually recognized it. But how did she know where the set of jewelry was? It was clearly not in her hands.

"I don't know. Maybe they were sold somewhere? I only have those two pieces of jewelry. If you want them, just take them back."

Ji Yao's indifferent attitude made Lu Jincheng very angry. He stared at Ji Yao sharply for a while and then turned his head without saying anything more.

Forget it, I have nothing to say to this woman. I will definitely sell the jewelry as soon as I get it. If these two people stayed, they probably didn't find a way to sell it.

"I will find out the whereabouts of this jewelry, but you have to apologize to my mother in person for this matter." Lu Jincheng paused here. Ji Yao thought it was gone, so he continued, "It's still Yes, you have to give me all the money you get from selling the jewelry."

Ji Yao doesn't want to work anymore now. She got so much money just by being deceived. Now Lu Jincheng wants her to hand it over. That's impossible.

"No, this money is mine!"
