Chapter 113: The Person the Entire Qiao Family Dares Not Offend

After Zhou Bei finished speaking, the person in charge immediately nodded in agreement.

“Since President Shen has spoken, I naturally want to proceed that way. But Miss Qiao is a bit anxious as well...” The person in charge glanced back at Qiao Yufei.

Qiao Yufei stood frozen, looking at the imposing man who had just appeared. Since he entered, he hadn’t said a word, yet the noisy scene moments ago instantly fell silent.

Seeing the man’s cold and stern face, Qiao Yufei felt a tightening in her chest.

Although Shen Hanzhi was betrothed to the Qiao family, he was now someone the entire family dared not offend. Even her father was somewhat afraid of him.

Moreover, her sister had been trying various means to win Shen Hanzhi’s favor over the past two years...

Naturally, Qiao Yufei did not dare to offend him. Given his status and influence, ruining her modestly famous celebrity career would be a simple matter for him.

With this thought, Qiao Yufei’s expression shifted, and a faint, ingratiating smile appeared on her face.

“Since President Shen also lost something, of course it’s more important to find your item first. My necklace isn’t valuable, it’s okay to look for it later. Besides, the person who stole these two things might even be the same.”

Her tone and expression were completely different from the angry accusations she had just thrown at Ron.

“Thank you for your understanding, Miss Qiao.” Zhou Bei bowed his head slightly to Qiao Yufei, then continued.

“But we’ve already checked the surveillance footage. Our boss lost the item at the stairwell, and during that time, only Miss Qiao and her assistant passed by that area.”

As soon as Zhou Bei said this, the crowd at the venue was shocked and all turned their gazes to Qiao Yufei.

Qiao Yufei was also stunned, her mouth slightly agape. Although anger brewed in her heart, she dared not direct it at Shen Hanzhi. Instead, she looked at Zhou Bei with displeasure and questioned him.

“What do you mean by that? Are you suspecting me? Am I the kind of person who would steal things?”

“That’s not impossible. Although Miss Qiao is the daughter of the Qiao family, from what we understand, the Qiao family today is different from before. Besides, Miss Qiao is just a minor celebrity who rides on the popularity of the Qiao family’s film emperor to attract some attention. Her annual income is quite modest…”

“After all, someone like you, a small figure, might suddenly become greedy upon seeing something belonging to our boss.”

Zhou Bei usually wasn’t sharp-tongued, but thinking about what the second Miss Qiao intended to do to Miss Lin, he unconsciously grew angry.

Miss Lin was such a pure and kind person, yet someone was plotting against her—how vicious!

After Zhou Bei finished speaking, Qiao Yufei’s face turned pale with rage.

She glared furiously at Zhou Bei, her face contorted with anger, and she shouted at him in a flustered voice.

“Make yourself clear! Who do you think you are? Just a servant—what right do you have to speak to me like that?”

Just as her tirade ended, a voice tinged with displeasure slowly sounded.

“He has no right—do I have any?”

Shen Hanzhi furrowed his brows, his expression serious as he spoke.

The moment Shen Hanzhi spoke, Qiao Yufei, who had been furious moments before, was instantly dumbfounded.

“President Shen...”

After all, he was to be her future brother-in-law. She had expected him to side with her to some extent, but she never imagined...
