Reborn: The Godfather Has Fallen For Me

Chapter 69: Adding Fuel To the Fire

Under such circumstances, Pei Li would never step out to save the situation. No matter who that person was, he could not destroy the image that he had painstakingly built up. This was not Pei Li’s style of doing things.

He liked to stand on high ground and enjoy the feeling of being able to casually guide other’s lives. Even if it was his biological sister, as long as he had a need, she should be the sword in his hand and charge forward for him.

Luckily, Pei Meimei was smart and tactful. He did not spoil her for nothing.

Pei Meimei knew that she had to divert everyone’s attention and think of a way. However, she did not know what to do.

Just as Pei Meimei was at a loss, someone whispered into her ear, “Liu Yumeng’s bracelet is really pretty.”

This sentence made Pei Meimei subconsciously look at Liu Yumeng’s wrist. Bracelet, this bracelet, this bracelet was hers!

She had accidentally dropped it when she went to the bathroom at school in the afternoon. How did it end up in Liu Yumeng’s hand?

Her eyes instantly rolled around as she smiled evilly and said loudly to the weeping Liu Yumeng in front of her, “Liu Yumeng, how did you get the bracelet I lost? Where did you get it?”

Liu Yumeng’s words stirred up thousands of waves. Everyone’s eyes turned from the good show just now to Liu Yumeng’s wrist.

Including Pei Li, who was closest to Pei Meimei. He was so close to Pei Meimei that he naturally heard the small words just now.

He thought a little more than Pei Meimei. No matter how he looked at it, it looked like someone was deliberately reminding Pei Meimei.

Pei Li hurriedly turned his head to look for the girl who had just made a sound. However, the surroundings were full of people, and they were all students from the school. It was impossible to tell who had said those words to Pei Meimei.

However, Pei Li was very smart. He deliberately looked at the few girls who were closest to Pei Meimei. Almost everyone looked at Liu Yumeng, but they did not find anything wrong. Could it be that it was really just a simple sentence just now?

Could it be that he was thinking too much?

Pei Li turned his head with some doubt. No matter if it was a deliberate reminder or not, everyone’s gaze had indeed shifted away from Ouyang Yu. He secretly heaved a sigh of relief and gave Ouyang Yu a look. Ouyang Yu immediately understood.

On the other side, Liu Yumeng’s expression was extremely ugly. She did not expect that the bracelet that she had been wearing for less than half an hour would be found by the owner so quickly.

Wait a minute, owner? Who said that this belonged to her, Pei Meimei? Although the relationship between the two families should be flattering Pei Meimei, this was the reputation of a thief. Once it was on her back, her life would not be good at all.

Moreover, if Pei Meimei really valued the Liu family that much, she should not say such words to humiliate her at this time. Therefore, no matter which side she was on, she would definitely not admit to the reputation of a thief today.

“What do you mean by that? Of course this bracelet is mine. Can I steal yours?”

“Humph, that’s not necessarily true. Whether you steal it or not is not up to you. Also, you said this is your bracelet. Then let me ask you, when did you buy this bracelet? Where did you buy it?”

Liu Yumeng was a little surprised, but she would never be timid at this time.

“Of course I bought it at the counter. Alin is a new model, and it’s also introduced in the magazine. You didn’t read it, did you?”

When Pei Meimei heard this, she knew that Liu Yumeng was really stupid.

“Counter? That counter? Of course I read the magazine. If I didn’t read it, would I buy it?”

“The mall counter. There’s only one counter in our capital. What else could there be?”

Liu Yumeng glanced at Pei Meimei. This question was not difficult for her.

However, Pei Meimei suddenly smiled and said, “It’s really ridiculously stupid. I don’t know whose pirated magazine you’re reading. Don’t you know that this bracelet on your hand is only available at the M Country Counter?”

“Not only that, this bracelet can be engraved with the name of the buyer. Do you dare to take the bracelet off and let everyone see whose name is engraved on it? Is it yours? Or is it mine?”

At this moment, Pei Meimei was pressing forward step by step. Liu Yumeng was so frightened that her face turned pale. She did not know that she really did not know that the name could be engraved on the bracelet. She immediately did not know what to do.

At this moment, even Liu Yufei was frowning. Because everyone knew that Liu Yumeng was her younger sister. She would do anything for her. She definitely could not let Liu Yumeng bear the reputation of stealing.

Liu Yufei immediately said to Pei Meimei, “Meimei, is there a misunderstanding? Why would Yumeng steal your bracelet? Our two families are so close! We would never do such a thing.”

Liu Yufei had a good plan and brought out the two families. However, Pei Meimei finally found an opportunity to ridicule Liu Yufei, and she even got the support of her big brother. How could she give up so easily?

She immediately said in a somewhat uncaring manner, “Wouldn’t we know if it was a misunderstanding if you took off the bracelet?”

Liu Yufei’s face turned ashen. Pei Meimei really didn’t give her any face. She didn’t even care about the face of the two families. She hurriedly turned her head to look at Pei Li’s position, hoping that Pei Li could help her out like before.

However, where did Pei Li go? Why was there no one else? Wasn’t he here just now? And what about that Young Master Ouyang? When did he also disappear?

A bad premonition arose in Liu Yufei’s heart. Sure enough, Pei Meimei seemed to be uneasy with the current situation. She also seemed to know that Pei Li had already left the scene. She directly stretched out her hand and pulled off the bracelet in Liu Yumeng’s hand.

“Hahaha, Liu Yumeng, since when is your English name short for YD? And those who know me, who doesn’t know that my English name is YD…? Now, you don’t have to say anything, right?”

The whispers of the people beside her began to slowly become louder. Everyone looked at Liu Yumeng in disbelief.

She was caught stealing in public. She really did not know what to do. It was all the fault of the woman who had picked up the bracelet. If she had not complimented her, she would not have been greedy. How could she have taken the bracelet for herself?

Yes, that girl. That girl could testify for her. She did not steal. She did not steal.

Liu Yumeng quickly looked for Shen Xiaoxiao in the crowd, but she was destined to be disappointed. At this moment, Shen Xiaoxiao had already left the crowd, leaving the ball with some other students who didn’t like to watch the show.

She really had to leave. The words that she had risked whispering in Pei Meimei’s ear just now had indeed caught Pei Li’s attention. Pei Li was as suspicious and sharp as ever.

Fortunately, she was still calm. Furthermore, she was wearing a pair of large-rimmed glasses. Her makeup was extremely ordinary. When placed in a crowd, it was almost ordinary. However, she had narrowly avoided his search.

Pei Li had indeed hinted at Ouyang Yu to leave at this moment. Of course, as soon as they left, she would naturally follow them and leave.

At this moment, there was almost nothing left to watch. Liu Yumeng was destined to be charged with theft.

Sure enough, the atmosphere in the venue was very strange. Pei Meimei was not going to let it go. Liu Yufei looked troubled, but her eyes kept turning as if she was thinking about something. And Liu Yumeng was really anxious to cry at this moment…
