Chapter 818: Who Hasn’t Seen The World?!
Everyone present couldn’t help but look at each other when they saw Jiang Xuecheng taking the initiative to hold Su Wan’s hand.
What kind of occasion was this today?!
The legitimate fiancée was still here, and he was actually still holding Su Wan’s hand!
He wasn’t afraid that the eldest daughter of the Siswell family would get angry!
The busybody couldn’t help but look towards Diya, only to see Diya tightly clenching her hand, her face already showing thick jealousy.
However, most people’s focus was not on Diya. They were all curious about how Su Wan was going to resolve the matter of stealing Madam Ye’s ruby earring!
…
Jiang Xuecheng’s voice was cold and indifferent, with a hint of undisguised impatience.
“You said that Su Wan stole your jewelry. Where’s the evidence?”
Madam Ye saw that Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan were standing together with a common enemy. She immediately understood that she had kicked an iron plate.
Was it necessary?!
She was just a lowly commoner, was it worth sticking up for her like this?!
Didn’t she see that Miss Diya was still at the side?!
He didn’t care about his honest fiancée, yet he had to pay attention to a lowly vixen!
He really had poor taste!
Madam Ye could not help but feel a little resentful towards Diya for not living up to expectations. However, after all, the words had already been spoken, coupled with the new and old grudges of her son, Madam Ye was unwilling to lower her head no matter what.
Madam Ye gritted her teeth. She took a deep breath before she managed to calm herself down.
She shook the ruby earring in her hand. After that, she looked around at the crowd of n.o.bles around her and explained to Jiang Xuecheng with a flushed face.
“Your Highness, I absolutely did not want to frame that s.l.u.t. This necklace of mine was in…”
Before Madam Ye could finish, Jiang Xuecheng interrupted her abruptly.
Jiang Xuecheng’s expression was cold, and his handsome face seemed to be covered in a layer of frost. It was bone-chilling.
“Who are you calling a s.l.u.t?”
Madam Ye shuddered when she met that bone-chilling gaze.
This young man’s aura was so strong!
Madam Ye recalled that she had been ridiculed for ivory not coming from a dog’s mouth and that she had been splashed with the c.o.c.ktail. She immediately swallowed those words back.
She felt extremely aggrieved and could only change the contemptuous t.i.tle to Miss Su.
“Uh, Your Highness, I meant that I had brought my ruby earring when I came here, but I don’t know how I lost it. I found it on Miss Su’s seat the moment I looked for it!”
When Jiang Xuecheng heard this, his expression became even colder. His pair of obsidian-like phoenix-like eyes were heavy, and not a single trace of emotion could be seen.
Seeing that Jiang Xuecheng did not make a sound, Madam Ye thought that she could take advantage of the situation to pursue and attack. She hurriedly added a few more reasons that she had determined.
“Your Highness, look at all the people present here. They are all famous people. Who would dirty their hands over a ruby pendant? I think only some people of average background who have not seen the world would…”
“Enough!”
Jiang Xuecheng gave Madam Ye a cold glance.
“You mean Su Wan has not seen the world? How ridiculous!”
As Jiang Xuecheng spoke, he suddenly raised Su Wan’s right hand and used his fingers to pick up the blue diamond bracelet that Su Wan was wearing on her hand.
In an instant, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Su Wan’s bracelet as if they were glued to it.
Su Wan had been sitting quietly at the side. Although she stood out alone, she stood in a better position. Her right hand was blocked by the vase on the long table.
Almost no one noticed that Su Wan had such a rare treasure in her hand!
Heavens, look at this long, flawless, and excellent blue diamond set, and the perfectly cut gem in the center that was carved into the shape of a blue rose. How much did it cost?!
It was probably enough to be used as a family heirloom of a famous family, and it was enough to be pa.s.sed down for generations!
Everyone’s doubts towards Su Wan immediately subsided.
With such a blue diamond bracelet, a hundred or a thousand of those ruby earrings in Madam Ye’s hands probably could not even compare!
No wonder the Emperor would say Madam Ye’s words were laughable!
With such a rare blue diamond that was priceless, how could Su Wan take a fancy to that “cheap” item!
There was no need for her to steal it!
…
When Diya saw that Jiang Xuecheng was protecting Su Wan, she was so angry that she almost saw stars.
Now that she saw him using that blue diamond bracelet to clear Su Wan’s name, she almost went crazy!
What exactly was the reason for this!
A genuine fiancée like her, who had been approved by the high priest, could not even be compared to a woman of no worth.
Moreover, the emperor had given Su Wan such priceless jewelry!
Was he trying to show that Su Wan was different from the rest in his heart and that she was loved by him?
Fiennes, who was beside her, could not help but frown when he saw that Diya was so angry. He reached out his hand and patted Diya’s shoulder, leaving a comforting sentence beside her ear.
“Diya, if you like that blue diamond bracelet, I can buy it for you.”
Looking at her brother’s gentle face, Diya felt a little wronged.
It was totally different, okay?!
However, since she was young, her brother was the best to her.
When she was young, he would help her bully others and take the blame for her. When he knew that she liked the snacks made by master Nan Yuan, he would go around half of the city to buy them for her…
If only the emperor could be like her brother, even if he was just a tenth as considerate to her!
Unfortunately, he was not…
Diya pursed her lips, and her eyes could not help but turn misty.
…
On the other side, when Madam Ye saw the blue diamond bracelet, she was instantly stunned!
Previously, she did not look carefully at the jewelry on Su Wan’s body. Now that she took a closer look, she truly knew what luxury was!
Although Madam Ye’s family background was not very good, ever since she married into the Devi family, how could she have misjudged such top-notch luxury jewelry!
However, even so, Madam Ye still stubbornly refused to admit it. She stubbornly wanted to pour dirty water on Su Wan.
For the sake of her son, who was still lying in the hospital, she wanted to make things difficult for Su Wan!
“Your Highness, just because Miss Su has such a bracelet doesn’t mean that she won’t steal things. What if she just likes to steal?”
When Jiang Xuecheng saw that Madam Ye was still trying to defend herself with a flushed face, his expression was extremely cold and his phoenix eyes flashed with an extremely sharp and cold light.
“You mean to say that even when you have hundreds of millions of a.s.sets, you would steal a beggar’s cup?”
When this a.n.a.logy was made, everyone present could not help but burst into laughter!
It was both accurate and vicious!
Moreover, they even compared Su Wan to a billionaire, while Madam Ye was just a beggar.
If they were that Madam Ye, they would have long wanted to find a hole to hide in since they had lost so much face. How would they dare to argue in front of the Emperor!
Madam Ye felt like she was about to vomit blood after being ridiculed like this in public.
She was about to argue again when Ye Hanwen, the head of the Devi family, suddenly appeared from the crowd and grabbed Madam Ye’s hand.
“Do you still think that you haven’t lost enough face? Hurry up and follow me back!”
Jiang Xuecheng looked at the middle-aged couple with a cold expression.
“You want to leave without apologizing for wronging someone?!”
