1296 This Is How The He Family Treats Their Guests

He Wenxian’s face was as pale as paper. She clenched her fists tightly and took a deep breath. The truth was already in front of her. If she continued to explain, everyone would laugh at her and hate her.

She frowned and said helplessly, “Mr. Cheng, I’m really sorry. I didn’t expect this necklace to be a fake. After all, my father did spend 150 million to buy this necklace back then. He probably didn’t know anything about jewelry, so he was deceived.”

Seeing this, everyone echoed, “That’s right! Now that the technology used for jewelry imitation is so advanced, ordinary people will definitely find it difficult to differentiate between the real thing and fake goods. Chairman He just wanted to give Miss He a valuable piece of jewelry. He didn’t expect to encounter such a thing.”

“Miss He can’t be blamed for this. After all, she didn’t know either!”

!!

He Wenxian said tiredly, “Mr. Cheng, I’m really sorry that a fake appeared at the charity banquet. I’ve disturbed you. It’s getting late, and the banquet is about to start. Let’s go to the main hall.”

“Miss He.” Just as He Wenxian wanted to wrap up this matter as soon as possible, Qiao Xi suddenly spoke. He Wenxian’s body instantly stiffened as she slowly turned around.

Qiao Xi’s tone carried a trace of ridicule. “Miss He, so your necklace is fake! But it’s okay. If you like this necklace, I can lend the real one to you to wear first. You don’t have to be polite with me!”

As soon as these words were spoken, He Wenxian’s expression instantly turned ugly. Qiao Xi was clearly imitating her tone from earlier.

This was the He family’s charity banquet, but Qiao Xi was so arrogant. Was she going to completely offend the He family?

He Wenxian suppressed the anger in her heart and did not say anything for a long time. Lan Rong, who was at the side, said indignantly, “Miss Qiao, why are you saying that?! Wenxian didn’t do it on purpose. Do you have to be so unforgiving?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Xi abruptly widened her eyes and blinked innocently. “Huh? Is this being unforgiving? But these words were said by Miss He in the beginning! I thought this was a way to express one’s goodwill, so I learned these words from her. It turns out that she was actually being unforgiving!”

The veins on He Wenxian’s forehead were bulging.

Lan Rong instantly choked and pointed at Qiao Xi as she shouted, “You! Are you worthy of learning from Miss He? She can say some things, but you can’t!”

“Why am I not worthy? I was wearing the same necklace as Miss He, but you concluded that mine was a fake. Now that Mr. Cheng has already proven that mine is the real deal, you’re saying that I’m not worthy. In that case, no matter who has the fake necklace and who has the real one, Miss He will still be n.o.ble and perfect in your eyes while I’m still the adopted daughter who’s wearing a fake necklace. If that’s the case, is there any point in appraising the authenticity of the necklace?”

Qiao Xi spoke indifferently, but it caused He Wenxian to frown.

Lan Rong was so angry that her face turned red. “I already said that Miss He didn’t do it on purpose. She’s the eldest daughter of the He family. There’s no need for her to wear a fake to the banquet. This is just a misunderstanding. Actually, it’s all your fault. If you hadn’t worn Scorching Heart here to show off, Wenxian wouldn’t have made a fool of herself in public!”

Qiao Xi was instantly angered to the point of laughing. “It’s ostentatious for me to wear a necklace when I go out, but it’s n.o.ble for Miss He to do the same? It’s my fault that her necklace was appraised as a fake, and I’m not showing Miss He any respect? I’ve really learned something today. So, this is how the famous daughter of the He family treats guests!

“Miss He, you thought that my necklace was fake. You’ve already embarra.s.sed yourself, but you’re blaming me when I haven’t even settled the score with you yet?”

He Wenxian originally thought that this matter could be resolved. If it really did not work out, she could apologize to Qiao Xi and resolve this matter as soon as possible so that it would not delay the banquet.

However, she was unable to open her mouth no matter what. She was unwilling, and she was unable to apologize to Qiao Xi.

What right did Qiao Xi have to possess the true Scorching Heart? Wasn’t it all because of Gu Zheng? Besides Gu Zheng, who else would give her such a precious gift? Why did Gu Zheng give Scorching Heart to that b*tch? That necklace should belong to her!

He Wenxian lowered her head and looked very aggrieved. The young man at the side could not stand it anymore and said unhappily, “Miss Qiao, this isn’t Miss He’s fault. She was originally prepared to donate the necklace. Now that she knows that the necklace is a fake, she’s very sad. However, you just insist on being unreasonable and not letting her off. Anyway, you didn’t suffer any losses. Can’t this matter end here?”

“That’s right!” Someone else stood up and echoed, “Miss He is kind-hearted. She didn’t mean to do it. It’s just a misunderstanding. Moreover, she hasn’t donated it yet, and there are no negative consequences. Why are you criticizing her so sarcastically? Don’t think that you can bully others just because you’re wearing the real necklace!”
