Chapter 63: What if I refuse to be searched?

Yeyi was caught off guard and pushed by her. He took two steps back with a hurt look on his face, "I'm serious."

Jiang Mian quietly rolled his eyes, then raised his head and smiled sweetly, "I'm going in, you can blow the air slowly."

Ye Yi looked at her retreating figure without mercy, "Tsk, I really like her more and more..."

As Jiang Mian walked back, he was wondering why Li Laidi hadn't come out yet with a glass of red wine.

Just as I was thinking about my phone, I received the message.

[Sister Mian, I feel a little uncomfortable in the bathroom. I will go out to find you later. 】

Jiang Mian lowered his head and typed, [Okay, don't be in a hurry. 】

After she finished calling, she put away her phone, and the next second someone stood in front of her to stop her.

"Miss Jiang, be careful when you walk."

Jiang Mian looked up in response, "Mr. Luo."

The last time she saw Luo Fei was years ago. She nodded slightly and said, "Long time no see."

Seeing Jiang Mian again, the little girl was a little more charming than before. Luo Fei felt itchy in his heart.

Jiang Mian was beautiful, with delicate eyebrows and small and exquisite features. What he liked most was the hint of pampering that inadvertently showed between her eyebrows.

Ever since Jiang Mian was filming a drama at their film and television base a few years ago, Luo Fei passed by and took a look at her, which he could never forget again.

But he knew that this little girl had a bad temper and didn't like to talk to him.

It's boring to have a good temper if it's too easy to get.

Wearing a gray couture suit, he said gently, “Why are you alone? I will take you for a walk? The scenery on Angel Star is very nice, you should like it."

Jiang Mian could see his attentiveness, but she didn't like Luo Fei from the bottom of her heart.

She smiled and declined, "No, I just came back from the deck. I should go back to the banquet hall now."

"Why are you so anxious to go back? The evening banquet hasn't started yet."

Jiang Mian's mind was racing. What did he mean by this? Could it be that the person behind this banquet was Luo Fei?

Luo Fei took a step forward, "Why don't you come with me to see it?"

Jiang Mian instinctively took a step back, her pretty face turned cold, "I don't like looking at the scenery."

The more she acted like this, the more Luo Fei felt itchy. When she is angry, her expression is even more moving. It makes people want to bully...

He suppressed those thoughts in his heart and worked hard to hand the invitation letter to her, but he couldn't do anything wrong now.

Luo Fei gave her a meaningful look, "There's no rush, there's plenty of time."

After that, he moved out of the way, "We'll see you in the banquet hall later."

After she left, Shen Tingyu came out from the corner, as if he had discovered some big secret.

Luo Fei seemed to be somewhat interested in Jiang Mian?

Although she didn't want to admit it, Jiang Mian's face did have it. Shen Tingyu made some calculations in her heart. Do you want to help Luo Fei?

The lights on Ji's high-rise building in the CBD in the city center are brightly lit.

Fan Cheng held the gilded invitation and said, "Mr. Ji, this is the cruise party hosted by Mr. Luo and you are invited to it. It is tonight. Will you go?"

Ji Zhixiu didn't even raise his head, "I won't go."

"Xiang Long said that the young lady has also received the invitation and has already gone."

Ji Zhixiu put down his pen and looked up at him, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Prepare the car."

Fan Chengxin said that you have been busy all day and didn't give me a chance to mention it.

Jiang Mian returned to the banquet hall and poured a glass of wine. She saw several familiar directors, all of whom were chatting with them. With her status, Jiang Mian felt that she was just here to see the world.

She put down her wine glass and walked to the bathroom.

As soon as he entered, he saw Liang Qiao touching up her makeup in the mirror. Liang Qiao saw Jiang Mian in the mirror and said, "It's you."

Jiang Mian, “It's me. I'll go to the toilet first. If there's anything we need to say, we can come out and talk about it."

After a minute, she came out and washed her hands. Before Liang Qiao left, he looked at her face and commented, “You look pretty good."

"Thank you, you too." Jiang Mian politely replied to her.

"You're welcome," Liang Qiao curled her lips.

Jiang Mian didn't say anything and left the bathroom ahead of her.

Returning to the banquet hall, Jiang Mian brought another glass of wine. I was about to send a message to Li Laidi on her mobile phone to ask why she didn't come out yet.

The lights in the banquet hall suddenly went out and it was pitch black.

Immediately afterwards, discussions started.

"What's wrong? Why did the power suddenly go out?"

"Oh my God! It's so dark, I'm so scared!"

"What's going on? How come there's still a power outage?"

In the darkness, a deep and powerful voice reached Jiang Mian's ears, "Don't be afraid."

She felt someone holding her waist, but she didn't dare to move because she couldn't see her hands.

Jiang Mian lowered his voice, "Let me go!"

A slightly teasing voice came, "I am a hero saving a beauty, why don't you thank me?" Then he let go of his hand.

But that soft and warm touch seems to still remain in the palm of my hand.

Jiang Mian took out his cell phone and turned on the flashlight, illuminating each other. Sure enough, it was Ye Yi. "It's just a power outage. What kind of hero is saving the beauty?"

Before Ye Yi could answer, the light returned to the banquet hall in the next second.

He glanced at Jiang Mian and took away the wine glass in her hand without hesitation, "Don't drink any more."

The two looked at each other, and Jiang Mian understood the meaning in his eyes. She nodded, "Okay."

The host hurriedly came over and took the microphone, "Sorry, there were some episodes just now. It's okay now."

"No, I have something to do!" Suddenly a voice broke everyone's calm mood.

Jiang Mian heard the sound and looked over, only to see Liang Qiao standing in the center with an anxious expression. She exchanged something with the host.

Soon, the host said again, “Our Miss Liang Qiao lost a watch worth five million. Has anyone seen it? If someone finds it, please return it as soon as possible."

Nightwing touched his chin, a bit gloating, "I think it's for you."

Jiang Mian glared at him angrily, "Don't talk nonsense."

She and Liang Qiao had never had anything in common, so why did Liang Qiao come after her?

Jiang Mian frowned, feeling that nothing was going well today.

"Sister Mian, I'm here! Sorry, it took so long." Li Laidi ran over panting.

Jiang Mian looked at her, "Where have you been and why are you here?"

Li Laidi lowered his voice, "I was going to the bathroom on the second floor, and I didn't know who locked my door. I yelled for a long time before someone came to open it for me. The power outage just frightened me to death."

Jiang Mian frowned, what else to say.

Liang Qiao suddenly said, "Jiang Mian, did you take my watch?"

Although she said "take", her tone was actually not polite at all.

In front of everyone, facing dozens of looks, suspicious, appraising, and even looking at the show, Jiang Mian calmly said, "I didn't take it."

She had never seen Liang Qiao's watch at all.

"I just went to the bathroom to touch up my makeup and took off my watch. This was the last time I saw it. And in the bathroom, there were only you and me. Who else could it be if it wasn't you?"

Jiang Mian thought what she said was funny, "First of all, I have never seen your watch. Secondly, can I prove that I took it just because I went to the bathroom? You left it there, maybe someone else took it later. Are you leaving?"

Seeing that things were getting worse, a waiter quickly went to find Luo Fei to take charge of the situation.

"Because someone saw..." Liang Qiao gritted her teeth, she couldn't say the name. She raised her chest and said, "Anyway, don't quibble. Let me search you and I'll find out if it's you."

Obviously the current situation is very unfavorable to her, and such private banquet venues generally do not have surveillance. But Ye Yi still saw a smile slowly forming on the corners of Jiang Mian's lips, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

Jiang Mian raised his eyes, his eyes filled with arrogance that could not be refused, "What if I refuse to be searched?"

"That only proves that you are a thief!" she shouted.

Shen Tingyu's heart almost jumped out of her chest in the crowd. Liang Qiao was so awesome, well done. She couldn't hide her excitement.

"I can't tell. Mr. Luo wouldn't hire such a person, would he?"

"She's a pretty little girl. She doesn't seem like someone who steals things from others."

"Knowing people but not knowing their hearts. Look at her. She doesn't have any big brands. You can't even tell the brand on this evening dress. It can't be some A-grade product!"

"How come cats and dogs can come in? Really, a good mood is ruined by such a person!"

"Everyone, hurry up and search. Is there anything else missing?"

Luo Fei stood opposite her, and his eyes met Jiang Mian's for just a second.

Luo Fei made a mouth gesture, and Jiang Mian understood what he meant. As long as she lowers her head, Luo Fei will help her.

But, does she need it?

Li Laidi was anxious and angry, "Sister, how can Liang Qiao slander people out of thin air?"

"It's fine if you want to search the body. As long as everyone accepts the search, I have no problem with it." Jiang Mian looked at Liang Qiao and said calmly.

Shen Tingyu didn't understand how this woman could still be so calm and collected at this time!

Why not accept the body search? As long as she accepts the body search, she will have a way to ruin Jiang Mian's reputation!

Liang Qiao didn't want to make the matter a big deal. As long as Jiang Mian was willing to let her look for it, she could let him go regardless of whether it was her or not. But Jiang Mian was so stubborn that he refused to eat anything, which made Liang Qiao's heart burn.

What she lost was not an ordinary watch, it was a watch given to her by Luo Fei for her birthday some time ago, which was of great significance to her.

"Okay, I will let you understand why we only searched your body. There are all famous people present, but you are the only one who is an 18th-tier star. If not you, who would do such a thing? You are the only one with this motive. !”

Jiang Mian was silent for a moment. Could it be that because she is not famous, everyone has the illusion that she is poor?

In the past few years, she had used very little of the money Ji Zhixiu had sent her, and she had lost count of the zeros she received from her bank card every month.

Not to mention the money Ji Zhixiu gave her, the money Jiang Mian earned on her own was more than enough to become a millionaire.

As for their comments about her clothes, Jiang Mian was speechless and choked.

Her clothes are arranged by Ji Zhixiu, and new styles are delivered every month. There were two rooms in the house just for clothes. She didn't know what brand they were, and she had never worn them in the same style until today. But she knew that it was definitely not the brand-name fakes these people said.

Her silence was more like acquiescence in the eyes of everyone.

Even Nightwing looked at her worriedly. Could it be that he was shocked?

Jiang Mian smiled brightly and said, "If you want to accuse me, there is no need to hesitate."

She knew her explanation was pale, but she would never admit to something she hadn't done.

She smiled, instantly. The light is so bright that people dare not look directly at it.

Yeyi's heart moved slightly.

Liang Qiao was furious, "Come here, catch her!"

"I want to see who dares?"

A sharp voice fell on everyone's ears.

Ji Zhixiu appeared in front of everyone with Fan Cheng.

He was wearing a black suit, his eyes slowly swept over the crowd, and there was a sneer on his lips. But his eyes were completely indifferent, and his aura was so cold that the atmosphere around him changed instantly. A sense of oppression enveloped the surroundings.

Anyone could feel the coldness radiating from his body. Ji Zhixiu spat out his thin lips with a mocking expression, "Is this the cruise ship party that Mr. Luo invited me to attend? I will have a good talk with your father another day."

With one sentence, Luo Fei's face turned pale.

He just sent an invitation letter to Ji Zhixiu out of intention, without even thinking that he would come.

Shen Tingyu's limbs were also stiff. She never thought that Ji Zhixiu would arrive at such a time...

Liang Qiao was even more embarrassed and ashamed. This was Mr. Ji...the one who should not be offended in Kyoto. Even Luo Fei wants to avoid the aggressive Mr. Ji. Is he protecting Jiang Mian?

Only Jiang Mian's eyes sparkled with light, and the smile in his eyes grew stronger.

No one spoke.

The huge banquet hall was extremely quiet because of Ji Zhixiu's arrival.
