Chapter 1278: I Didn’t Steal It
Bai Beibei knew that these people did it on purpose. She furrowed her brows. “You can enter my room to search, but if you suspect someone, you need evidence. Show me your evidence.”
“It’s easy to get evidence, Bai Beibei, I saw you sneaking out of the room alone at around eight o’clock,” Xiao He said.
Around eight o’clock…
She had indeed left the room.
“What are you guys doing?” At this moment, a dignified voice sounded. Father Gong arrived, along with Li Sisi.
“Beibei, what’s wrong? Did these people bully you again?” Li Sisi quickly ran to Bai Beibei’s side.
“Father Gong, Miss Li, both of you came at the right time. I lost an LV bag, and I suspect that someone stole it. Xiao He saw Bai Beibei leaving the room around eight o’clock, so I wanted to enter Bai Beibei’s room to search, but she didn’t let me in. I suspect that she was guilty.”
At this time, Bai Beibei didn’t want to see Father Gong at all. Her face was pale and her hands and feet were cold.
She straightened her delicate back, she shook her head. “I didn’t steal it!”
“My Beibei wouldn’t steal your bag. You’d better not accuse my Beibei wrongly, or I’ll sue you for slander.” Li Sisi glared at Xiao Liu.
Father Gong looked at Bai Beibei. “I don’t believe that Bai Beibei would steal anything. Xiao Liu, go look in your room again. Maybe you left your bag somewhere.”
“Father Gong, don’t be deceived by Bai Beibei’s appearance. Let me tell you, her mother was a servant of the Bai family. Her mother climbed into Master Bai’s bed before she was born. She was an illegitimate child. She grew up in the countryside with her blind grandmother. She was so poor that she would steal good things.”
Father Gong suddenly remembered who Bai Beibei was. He met Bai Beibei once when he brought Gong Yi to the Bai family for a blind date.
However, his attention was on Bai Qi at that time, so he didn’t remember Bai Beibei when he saw her at Gong Yi’s place later.
This little girl was indeed an illegitimate child. Bai s.h.i.+da had told him personally that her birth wasn’t very good.
Gong Yi looked Bai Beibei up and down seriously. For some reason, he felt that Bai Beibei resembled a woman he knew in the past.
He didn’t know if it was just his imagination.
However, Father Gong’s impression of Bai Beibei wasn’t very good. Why? Because, as Bai Qi’s younger sister, she lived with his son. He didn’t delve into her relations.h.i.+p with Gong Yi, but at this time, she was together with Li Xiyang.
Father Gong’s generation was very strict. He didn’t like girls who messed around with relations.h.i.+ps like this, and he definitely wouldn’t allow his future daughter-in-law to be such a person.
Bai Beibei sensed Father Gong’s gaze. His gaze was scrutinizing and sizing her up… in short, he was not that friendly.
Bai Beibei lowered her head in shock, her two small hands tightly clutching the clothes in front of her. She was panicking.
Xiao Liu had wronged her, so she was not panicking.
When Father Gong showed his dislike for her clearly, she panicked.
“Beibei, don’t be afraid. I won’t let them deceive you. Uncle Gong, this hotel is yours. Chase these troublemakers out!” Li Sisi looked at Father Gong.
Her father didn’t say anything.
Li Sisi became anxious. “Uncle Gong, I’m talking to you. What do you mean by this?”
“Sisi,” Bai Beibei tugged at the corner of Li Sisi’s clothes. “Forget it. Let them go in and search.”
“Beibei, what are you talking about?”
Bai Beibei looked up with her big black and white eyes. She smiled, but Li Sisi seemed to see the crystal mist rising from her smile. “Let them search.”
Li Sisi felt her heartache. In her mind, Bai Beibei had always been optimistic. She did not care about other people’s gazes, she was pure and kind.
But it was this kind of girl who was being bullied like this.
Was it because she did not come from a good family?
“No!” Li Sisi insisted. She did not allow these people to search Bai Beibei’s room, because this was a matter of principle.
Once this gap was opened, more and more people would bully Bai Beibei in the future.
When both sides were in a stalemate, “What are you doing?” A low and mellow voice sounded.
Everyone turned around and saw a tall and straight figure at the end of the corridor. Gong Yi had returned from outside.
……
Gong Yi wore a white s.h.i.+rt and black trousers. On an autumn night, he wore an autumn-leaf-coloured cloak and windbreaker. He was indescribably stylish and handsome.
He took off the black belt in his hand and handed it to his secretary, Ajie, who was behind him. He walked forward with his long legs, and each of his sonorous footsteps created a dazzling arc.
Xiao Liu, Xiao He, and Bai Qi, who had been hiding behind the crowd, were all stunned.
Gong Yi did not look away. He treated these random people like air. In the end, he stopped in front of Bai Beibei. Looking at the girl’s small black head, he asked in a low voice, “What happened?”
Bai Beibei looked down and saw the s.h.i.+ny handmade leather shoes on his feet. The tip of her nose turned red, and she suddenly felt like crying.
“Young Master Gong, these people are too much. They suspect Beibei of stealing things!” Li Sisi said angrily.
Stealing…
This word stabbed deeply into Bai Beibei’s heart. She didn’t want him to see her in such an embarra.s.sing state.
However, she didn’t have the ability.
She couldn’t change her fate.
She was lonely and helpless.
Gong Yi turned his body to the side, and half of his tall and handsome shoulders appeared to block in front of Bai Beibei, in a protective posture.
Raising his sword-like eyebrows, he wiped one hand in his trouser pocket and looked at Xiao Liu. “What did she steal from you?”
Xiao Liu had never seen such a handsome man. Everyone was saying that the number one young master of the capital was none other than the Young Master of the Gong family. Now that she saw him, he truly lived up to his reputation.
Xiao Liu stared unblinkingly at Gong Yi. Her previously arrogant voice had become coquettish. “Young Master Gong, she stole my Louis Vuitton Bag.”
“Where’s the evidence?”
“Xiao He saw Bai Beibei left her room at eight o’clock.”
Xiao He nodded. “Yes, I saw it with my own eyes.”
Gong Yi turned to look at Bai Beibei beside him. He asked, “What did you do at eight o’clock?”
He didn’t believe that she would steal anything. There was no doubt about that, but the two parties were confronting each other. He needed her to tell him what she did.
What did she do?
Bai Beibei raised her head to look at Gong Yi. For a long time, she didn’t say anything.
Gong Yi slowly furrowed his brows, and his voice became gentler. He reached out his large palm and grabbed her frail shoulders. “What’s wrong?”
Bai Beibei looked at his gentle and handsome face. This man let women want to lean on him.
At this moment, she wanted to lean on his shoulders.
At this moment, Father Gong coughed heavily. “I believe that you’re innocent too. You won’t steal from others, but you have to tell me clearly what you were doing last night.”
