Chapter 264 - Heart of Flame? (2/2)

She raised Mrs. Li’s hand and took a closer look. She thought in confusion, Why do I keep feeling that this ruby is a little similar to Xue Xi’s stones…? F*ck, it’s my fault that I don’t know these things. Aren’t gems also a type of stone? What’s so strange about stones looking like gems…

Just as they were speaking, they saw a few juniors in the corner arguing.

Mrs. Xia’s expression changed instantly and she said, “Ms. Qian is quite willful. She doesn’t give any face to anyone she dislikes. I’ll go take a look at the situation.”

Mrs. Li and Ye Li also saw Li Hanlei and Xue Xi, so they followed behind her.

Just as the two of them approached, they heard Mrs. Xia say, “What happened?”

Xia Yiyi hurriedly stood up. She could see others’ lips, but she could not speak. She pointed at Xue Xi and waved her hands, indicating that it had nothing to do with Xue Xi.

Meanwhile, Qian Zheng stared at Xue Xi with widened eyes as though she was in shock.

Xue Xi kept a straight face and did not speak.

Li Hanlei complained first. “I only said that Xue Xi’s bracelet looks pretty good. I wanted to take a look, but she was so petty that she refused to let me touch it! Isn’t it just a few worthless stones?”

Li Hanlei was brought here by Mrs. Li. When she heard this, her face darkened. “Speak properly!”

Li Hanlei was a little afraid of Mrs. Li, but she could not let this matter become her fault. Hence, she continued shouting, “I’ve been talking nicely. It’s just that Ms. Qian and I wanted to have a chat with Xia Yiyi, but when we squeezed to sit down here, Xue Xi became unhappy. Her fake face is too petty!”

The moment she said this, Xia Yiyi’s face turned red from anxiety. However, because Qian Zheng was too shocked, she held Xia Yiyi’s hand as she stared at Xue Xi. Her hand could not move, so her mouth turned red again. In the end, she said, “No!”

A mute suddenly spoke. Everyone was stunned.

Mrs. Xia knew that Xia Yiyi was anxious.

Xia Yiyi’s throat was actually fine. It was just that when something happened to her ears, she gradually stopped speaking. Now, she was actually forced to this extent.

Mrs. Xia hurriedly held her shoulders and saw Xia Yiyi glaring at Li Hanlei angrily.

Li Hanlei was shocked by her speech and shrank her shoulders guiltily.

Among the wealthy ladies who had just looked over, someone also said, “It’s clearly you who’s being aggressive to Ms. Xue and even pus.h.i.+ng all the blame to Ms. Xue… You insist that Ms. Xue’s bracelet is made from just stones…”

When she said this, Mrs. Li’s gaze suddenly turned sharp.

Li Hanlei jumped in shock and shouted in panic, “They were originally just loose stones. She brought this box of stones to the cla.s.sroom and even lied to us that they’re gems! If she lied, shouldn’t others tell her off?!”

Mrs. Li chided Li Hanlei, “Shut up!”

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Xia then turned to look at Xue Xi’s wrist.

Immediately, Mrs. Li widened her eyes in shock when she saw one of the five gems. Why does this look like that Heart of Flame?!

While Mrs. Li was in shock, Li Hanlei looked at Qian Zheng. “Ms. Qian, she was the one who was rude earlier. Hurry up and say something!”
