Rebirth: Pampered by My Children and Husband Chapter 191

Chapter 191: Chapter 191 Change the View of Him

The man stiffened his neck and argued back, “How could I possibly lie to you? For all we know, her necklace might be the fake one!”

“How can you be so gullible, just believing whatever she says? Maybe all these people are actors she hired, trying to fool you!”

Keke's anger paused on her face, and she looked at Ji Yuqiao with a suspicious expression.

He was right.

Ji Yuqiao, a pauper who was so poor that she had to sell her bag, how could she possibly be the Ji Group's heiress?

With this thought in mind, she swept a disdainful glance over the man in the tailcoat, “Hiring so many people to put on this act, must have cost a pretty penny, huh? Won't you have to go back to your poor little jobs tomorrow to repay the money?”

Lin Xu immediately grabbed Ji Yuqiao's hand, pleading with an exaggerated expression, “Miss, I had no idea you were still experiencing life out there with part-time work! You are a person of noble birth, how can you bear such hardship? If President Ji finds out, he definitely won't let me off the hook.”

“I, I…” Ji Yuqiao's expression on her face became somewhat unnatural.

“What life experience, it's obviously fake,” the man rolled his eyes, unimpressed.

At that moment, a tall figure descended from the clubhouse upstairs, and a deep, casual voice sounded, “Miss Ji, I didn't expect to find you here, truly an oversight on my part.”

Ji Yuqiao turned her head, and a trace of surprise crossed her eyes upon seeing Xie Changyan.

It wasn't just Ji Yuqiao who was surprised, but also Keke's boyfriend.

He was taken aback, unable to close his mouth, stammering, “Xie… Young Master Xie, what are you doing here?”

Xie Changyan's gaze swept past him, raising an eyebrow, “President Qian's grandson?”

“Yes, yes, yes, I had no idea Young Master Xie would still remember me, it's truly an honor,” the man bent slightly, his smile tinged with flattery, “My grandfather has been talking about you recently, saying he wants to continue discussing a business cooperation with you.”

“We'll talk about the business cooperation later. I've been busy with other projects lately,” Xie Changyan said, his eyes smiling as they landed on Ji Yuqiao.

“I wonder if Miss Ji could find an opportunity to inquire with President Ji for me, when he might have time to discuss a new project with me?”

Ji Yuqiao was a bit stunned, “Ah? Okay, okay, I'll ask for you tomorrow.”

The man's originally scornful look towards Ji Yuqiao gradually turned to shock.

If earlier he still didn't believe, then with Xie Changyan's affirmation, he was now utterly convinced.

Could she really be the heiress of the Ji Group?!

So selling her bag and doing part-time work, it really was just living the experience?!

His family's small company couldn't afford to offend the Xie Family, let alone the Ji Family.

Thinking back on his behavior towards Ji Yuqiao, the color drained from his face, leaving him pale and distressed.

“I heard your argument from upstairs earlier, seemed you were accusing Miss Ji of stealing your necklace?” Xie Changyan slightly pursed his lips, his tone casual.

“No, no, why would Miss Ji steal from us, haha…” the man forced a laugh.

“Then what about the necklace that was lost, do we need to call the police to look for it?” Xie Changyan asked.

“It's just a fake necklace, worth a mere ten some yuan a dozen, no need to go to the trouble of calling the police,” the man quickly replied.

Xie Changyan nodded.

Hearing his words, Keke was momentarily stunned, then rage flared in her eyes.

She took the fake necklace from her inner pocket, and flung it furiously at the man's face, unable to contain her anger, “You cheat! Using a fake necklace to deceive me!”

The necklace struck his face, and the man gasped in pain, cursing angrily, “So what if I tricked you? It's your own stupidity and greed for money. Who else can you blame?”

Keke's face went from red to pale with rage, as she started beating the man with her handbag furiously, “I'll beat you to death! You despicable liar!”

Ji Yuqiao felt the stone that had been hanging in her heart slowly fall to the ground, and her tense nerves relaxed.

She looked at Lin Xu, and as she saw the faint smile on Lin Xu's face, a kind of indescribable warmth surged in her heart.

Lately, every time she encountered a difficulty, Lin Xu always seemed to appear suddenly by her side.

Last time it was on the school's athletic field, this time in the club…

It was magical, just like the knight in the stories her brother used to tell her when she was young, who always silently protected the princess.

A gentle warmth spread through her limbs, and something in a corner of Ji Yuqiao's heart was slightly stirred.

Suddenly.

Lin Xu gently poked her arm and made a subtle gesture towards Keke.

Ji Yuqiao immediately caught on.

“Wait a minute!” Ji Yuqiao spoke up, interrupting the two who were fighting in front of her, “It seems that now you have found your necklace back, the thing was not stolen by me, I demand that you all apologize to me!”

“I'm sorry, I'm sorry…” the man knelt down very quickly, not forgetting to shift the blame, “It's all because this woman lied to me, always speaking ill of you to me.”

Keke's cheeks turned red with anger, and she took the opportunity to kick the man a few times, “It was clearly you who deceived me first, and you have the nerve to blame others first.”

After cursing the man a few more times, she turned to leave.

Several men in tailcoats immediately stepped forward to block the club's doorway, preventing her from leaving.

Ji Yuqiao's voice came from behind, “You haven't apologized to me yet.”

The men standing at the door had stern, merciless faces, as if to say they wouldn't let her leave without an apology today.

Keke turned around to look at Ji Yuqiao, squeezed her hand at her side, and struggled to say a few words, “I'm sorry…”

After saying this, she left the club as if to vent her anger, stomping heavily on the floor.

Seeing this, the others didn't dare to stay any longer, and they scattered in no time.

Ji Yuqiao threw herself onto Lin Xu, hugging her neck excitedly and happily, “Lin Xu, how did you come?”

“It was Xie Changyan who said he saw you being bullied here, so he called me.” Lin Xu was fuming with anger when she received the call; she rushed over without stopping and even found more than a dozen actors to support her daughter.

Fortunately, she wasn't too late.

Lin Xu heaved a sigh of relief, settled the bill for the actors after retrieving the necklace, and had them leave.

Ji Yuqiao couldn't help but laugh, “I was wondering why I had never seen so many butlers at home.”

Lin Xu put the necklace on her, and ruffled her head, “Alright, let's take our Miss Ji home.”

Ji Yuqiao nodded vigorously and then sneakily glanced at Xie Changyan, her eyes carrying a hint of inquiry.

He seemed to notice her gaze and looked over, raising his eyebrows slightly.

Ji Yuqiao was frightened and quickly averted her eyes.

This man still looked fierce.

But…

He had just helped her.

Although he was a bit fierce, at least he was a decent person.

Ji Yuqiao decided to rethink her impression of him.
