Chapter 41: Kneel and Apologize
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Due to today’s exhibition, Jian Dan had not eaten anything for the entire day. Now that there was nothing to do, she quickly ate something…
As she ate, she saw a black figure from the corner of her eye. She wanted to ignore it, but she saw Yujin and Mei Xiaolin brushing past each other by the pool. Yujin happened to be on the side nearer to the pool. Mei Xiaolin actually stretched out her leg and tripped Yujin, causing her to fall into the pool.
Seeing this, Jian Dan threw away the cake in her hand and ran over. She saw Yujin struggling in the pool. “Hurry up and save her!”
Jian Dan did not know how to swim, so she could only call for help. Just then, a few people jumped into the pool and saved Yujin. Yujin sat by the pool and coughed non-stop.
A trace of coldness flashed across Jian Dan’s eyes. She glared at Mei Xiaolin and walked straight up to her before pushing her into the pool.
“Are you crazy?” IVLei Xiaolin’s manager screamed and quickly pulled Mei Xiaolin out of the pool.
“You like to watch people fall into the water so much. Shouldn’t you have a turn too and enjoy it yourself?”
It was really too much. She crossed the line and had touched Jian Dan’s sore spot.
Jian Dan looked at Mei Xiaolin coldly. “When you tripped Yujin on purpose just now, did you stop to think that you might kill her?” This had definitely crossed Jian Dan’s bottom line.
“What nonsense are you spouting?”
Just then, the person-in-charge of the cocktail party arrived and quickly helped Mei Xiaolin up. “Miss Mei, I’m really very sorry. I’ll handle this matter seriously,” he promised Mei Xiaolin with his head lowered.
Then, he glared at Jian Dan and said sternly, “You’re fired. Apologize to Miss Mei before you leave.”
“Is an apology enough?” Mei Xiaolin’s manager asked.
“Kneel down and apologize! Otherwise, we’ll call the police. If it affects Qin Corporation’s reputation, we won’t be held responsible,” Mei Xiaolin’s manager threatened the person-in-charge.
The person-in-charge immediately turned to look at Jian Dan. “Did you hear that? If you don’t want to be sent to the police station, you’d better do it!”
Just then, someone rushed up to the person-in-charge and whispered into his ear. The person-in-charge’s expression instantly changed. “When did you find out?”
“I only realized it when I was finishing up. Do you want to call the police immediately?” the person said.
“Call the police?” The person-in-charge knew very well that if he called the police, the matter would blow up. Once the matter blew up, Mr. Chu would definitely know and he would definitely lose his job.
“Did something happen?” Mei Xiaolin asked as if she knew something.
“We just realized that Starry Love is missing,” the person-in-charge said softly.
“How can that be?” Mei Xiaolin pretended to be surprised.
“Everyone in attendance is reputable; they definitely won’t do such a thing. The remaining ones are your company’s employees.”
“By the way, I saw someone loitering around Starry Love’s display cabinet during the exhibition. 1 didn’t pay much attention at first, but now that I think about it… could it be?” Mei Xiaolin’s manager suddenly said.
“Do you remember who it was?”
“It was her,” Mei Xiaolin’s manager pointed at Jian Dan.
The person-in-charge turned to Jian Dan. “Hand it over!”
“What?” Jian Dan asked in confusion.
“Since you’re unwilling to hand it over, I’m sorry. Security!” The person-in-charge called the security guards over.
“What do you want?”
“What do you want?” When Yujin saw so many security guards surrounding Jian Dan, she asked. She had recovered by now and stood beside Jian Dan.
“Search!” The person-in-charge ignored Yujin and instructed.
A few security guards snatched Jian Dan’s bag and emptied the contents. Everyone noticed the ring that fell out of Jian Dan’s bag.
“It’s Starry Love!” someone exclaimed.
Jian Dan stared at Starry Love—which had fallen out of her bag—in confusion. When she saw Mei Xiaolin and her manager, Jian Dan immediately understood that they must have secretly taken the ring to frame her.
“Jian Dan definitely didn’t take it,” Shang Yujin hurriedly explained on behalf of Jian Dan.
“The ring was found in her bag. Do you still want to argue?” The person-in-charge insisted that Jian Dan did it.
“Not only did she push Xiaolin into the pool, she even stole Starry Love. There’s no way to settle today’s matter amicably.” Mei Xiaolin’s manager added fuel to the fire.
“What happened?” Li Jing’s voice emanated from behind.
Everyone turned around and saw Chu Liyuan and Li Jing walking over together.
When the person-in-charge saw Chu Liyuan, he hurriedly ran over and said, “Mr. Chu, someone stole Starry Love today, but I’ve already caught her and found the ring.” The person-in-charge hurriedly related everything to Chu Liyuan..
