Gold Medal Sweetheart

"You probably know that everything at the auction is unique. So checking the surveillance wouldn't do you any good. It would only confirm that you took the necklace. Of course, there's another possibility—" Shao Chengxue paused, then continued, "The necklace you're wearing is a fake, obtained from somewhere. It's like the saying, 'You fit the horse like the saddle.'"

Shao Chengxue deliberately spoke with certainty. As long as she acted sincerely, she would not be afraid of people not believing her.

Seeing this scene, the guests stopped admiring the jewellery and started discussing in low voices in twos and threes, with some nodding in agreement with Shao Chengxue's words.

Tang Xin didn't say anything. She did come out with the necklace after going into the bathroom. If she checked the surveillance footage, the situation didn't seem very favorable to her for the time being, but she didn't feel guilty at all about something she hadn't done.

From the conversation between the guests on the scene, it can be judged that before she came, Shao Chengxue was indeed wearing a necklace of the same style, and she was also puzzled as to why there were two identical necklaces.

This reminded her of a time when she accidentally glanced at Jin Taize's mobile phone and saw a woman wearing this necklace. However, when Jin Taize gave her the necklace, she once thought that she had seen it wrong. Now it seems that her previous observation has been confirmed.

But as Shao Chengxue said, this necklace is a unique piece, so one of the two must be fake.

Shao Chengxue emphasized the word "fake" at the end, as if he also wanted to kill someone.

"When Brother Tai Ze gave me the necklace, he said that only it was worthy of the unique me." Seeing Tang Xin remained silent, Shao Chengxue raised his neck proudly, and his confident look seemed to want to further break through the girl's psychological defenses.

"But considering that we know each other, I also want to make a big thing small, a small thing nothing. If Miss Tangtang apologizes to me in public now, I will pretend that this incident never happened, and we can solve it privately later. How about it?" Shao Chengxue looked like a big man who didn't bear grudges.

"Miss Shao, are you asking for my opinion?" Tang Xin's eyes were filled with sarcasm. "I won't apologize for something I didn't do, but I'm also confused. Why did Miss Shao take off her necklace when she could have just put on some makeup?"

Tang Xin knew that she was attending the event on behalf of Aunt Jin. She never wanted to be in the spotlight in public, but she also couldn't leave in disgrace with such an ignominious reputation when Aunt Jin asked her to do something for the first time.

After the girl said this, everyone felt that it made sense, so they looked at Shao Chengxue with doubts.

Obviously, he hadn't expected the girl's strict logic. Shao Chengxue was speechless for a moment, then hurriedly adjusted his mood to prevent others from seeing the flaw, "I can't use the body powder!"

Tang Xin lowered her head and touched the pink diamond on her neck. The warmth of her body temperature was transmitted from her palm. When she raised her eyes again, she smiled frankly, "I think it's best for the police to handle this."

Seeing the girl's hesitation, Shao Chengxue thought her words had worked. She thought the girl would suspect her necklace was a fake and, to avoid embarrassing herself in public, would choose to keep quiet. But she never expected the girl to fight to the end.

"You better think about it. You keep saying you didn't take my necklace. If you call the police, there's a jewelry appraiser here. When the police arrive, they'll definitely ask the appraiser to verify the necklace's authenticity. If it's real, it'll be evidence of your theft. If it's fake, you won't be able to save face much."

Shao Chengxue acted as if he was caring and considerate of Tang Xin, with an attitude of "a great man who does not bear grudges."

"The innocent are innocent, and—" Tang Xin looked straight at Shao Chengxue. Although her voice was not loud, it was full of incomparable determination. "I believe that the necklace that Tai Ze gave me is a unique and authentic one."
