“I didn’t take your ruby!”

Fu Xingxing stared straight at Mother Fu, Chen Shuqin. There was no fear in her eyes.

That instantly angered Chen Shuqin. She roared, “I hate people who lie and show no regrets!”

The next moment, she raised her hand and was about to slap Fu Xingxing.

However, before her hand landed, Fu Xingxing caught it. “I don’t know who framed me for stealing! But before you charge me with theft, please show some evidence!”

As she said this, Fu Xingxing’s eyes swept across the crowd.

Everyone in the Fu family was shocked, Fu Xingxing was different! Her tone was completely different from before.

Fu Xingxing fixed her eyes on Fu Ruirui. It was obvious that Fu Ruirui felt guilty. She looked away and showed the “none-of-her-business” face.

At this moment, Chen Shuqin directly called out, “Ruirui, repeat what you just said!”

Fu Ruirui glanced at Fu Xingxing and thought, ‘Why should I be afraid of that country bumpkin? With so many people supporting me, Fu Xingxing could never win over me!’

Then, Fu Ruirui retorted, “Mom, I happened to see Xingxing in your room during lunch break. At that time, I only thought that she was being sneaky and didn’t think too much about it! When you said the ruby necklace is gone, I was just thinking that she could have taken it!”

At this point, Fu Xingxing’s expression was unexpectedly calm.

This made Fu Ruirui uneasy and thought to herself, ‘Why isn’t she panicking? This is not right!’

“Oh right! Auntie Liu also saw it!”

With that, Auntie Liu was called over.

Needless to mention, Auntie Liu had been bribed by Fu Ruirui. She nodded and said, “Yes! I saw Miss Xingxing enter Madam’s room sneakily as if she was stealing something!”

“Xingxing, we have a witness now!” Chen Shuqin questioned again, “Do you admit it?”

“I didn’t take it!” Fu Xingxing repeated the same thing!

“Let’s search her room!” It was Fu Ruirui who suggested it. She pretended to be nice and said, “Xingxing, this is the only way to prove your innocence, right?”

“No way!” Fu Zongxiang was the only person in the family who supported Fu Xingxing.

He saw how everyone was framing Fu Xingxing and his heart ached. He stood up and said, “You can’t assume that Xingxing stole something just because she entered the room! Besides, we’re a family. We have to at least respect and trust each other!”

“You can’t search her room!” This was an insult to Fu Xingxing.

However, Fu Xingxing suddenly approached Fu Zongxiang and said, “Grandpa, let them search! I’m not afraid since I’m innocent!”

In her previous life, her grandfather’s opposition temporarily protected Fu Xingxing. However, when her grandfather left, they insisted on breaking open the door and searched Fu Xingxing’s room.

Therefore, Fu Xingxing decided to turn the tables and lead everyone to her room. She opened the door and ordered, “You guys can search as you please!”

Fu Xingxing’s attitude made Fu Ruirui feel anxious. She thought to herself, ‘I’ve hidden the ruby necklace in Fu Xingxing’s room, but she looks so calm. Could it be that she had discovered it?’

At first, Fu Ruirui was worried!

However, just as they entered the door and started searching, the ruby necklace was found in Fu Xingxing’s canvas bag instantly.

At once, Fu Ruirui was full of confidence. She deliberately raised her voice, “Xingxing, hurry up and apologize to Mom. It’s not too late!”
