Chapter 115: Banquet Accident
He Suye had already given him the order to leave, but Ye Linlang seemed not to understand and sat down next to her.
He Suye was about to stand up when Ye Linlang suddenly reached out and grabbed her.
"Let go!" He Suye said coldly.
"Miss He, why do you hate me so much?" Ye Linlang showed a sad expression. His handsome face showed such an expression that it was hard to say anything harsh to him.
But He Suye remained unmoved by that deceptively charming face, coldly saying, "Don't you know why I hate you? Let go!"
Ye Linlang still didn't let go. "Miss He, I can explain what you said before."
The disparity in strength between men and women made it impossible for He Suye to break free. Fearing that making too much noise would embarrass everyone, she could only suppress her impatience and ask, "What do you want to explain?"
Ye Linlang chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "Actually, it's quite embarrassing to admit, but I did know about you a long time ago. And I did indeed give advance notice about the invitation today. But ever since I saw your picture on Xiao Hui's phone, I haven't been able to forget you. Miss He, I really like you, so I deliberately staged that hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scene at the door. I hope you can forgive me and give me a chance to pursue you."
Ye Linlang's eyes were filled with deep affection, and his earnest tone would move any girl.
He Suye was silent for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh. "Are you saying that everything today was your plan, and has nothing to do with Miss Zhou? Wasn't Miss Zhou worried that I was getting too close to Young Master Mo, so she deliberately arranged for you to get close to me?"
Ye Linlang immediately denied it: "Of course not! One person does something and one person takes responsibility. That matter has nothing to do with Xiao Hui."
He Suye hesitated slightly. Could it be that she was being petty and judging a gentleman by her own standards?
Seeing that she remained silent, Ye Linlang asked earnestly, "Miss He, He Suye, could you give me a chance to pursue you? I have truly fallen in love with you at first sight."
He Suye glanced at Ye Linlang, a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes, "Mr. Ye, how many girls have you said this to? Do you think every single one of them will believe your nonsense?"
Ye Lin said with certainty, "I've only ever said this to you, and I've only ever liked you. You can ask Xiao Hui if you don't believe me."
"Fine." He Suye nodded perfunctorily. "I'll just pretend this is the first time you've said this. Now that you've explained and said everything, can you leave? No, I'll leave. This is your home."
He Suye was about to get up as she spoke.
Ye Linlang stood up before she could say, "I'm not one to make trouble. Since Miss He is so heartless, I have no choice but to give up. I won't disturb your rest, I'll be leaving now."
After Ye Linlang finished speaking, he gave her a meaningful look, then left.
The room finally quieted down, but she couldn't fall asleep. She vaguely felt that Ye Linlang was acting very strangely. One second he was confessing his love with deep affection, and the next second he gave up. His change in attitude was very strange, as if he had confessed for some purpose.
What does he want to do?
With the bright moon hanging in the sky, the banquet was finally in its second half and was nearing its end.
After resting enough, He Suye returned to the banquet, but as soon as she walked over, she saw a group of people gathered together, and even the banquet music stopped, as if something serious had happened.
Ye Linlang happened to be standing not far ahead, so He Suye walked over and tugged at his clothes, asking, "What happened?"
Ye Linlang glanced at her with a dark and unreadable look. "Xiao Hui lost her bracelet. That bracelet was designed by the famous Parisian jewelry designer Alban. It's one of a kind in the world. Moreover, this designer no longer designs jewelry. That bracelet was his final work. Its value cannot be measured in money."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shuhui sobbed, "Money and value don't matter, but Alban's 60th birthday is coming up soon, and I promised to wear the bracelet to see him. Now... I really have no face to see him!"
One customer said, "Why don't we all help look for it? Many hands make light work; a bracelet can't just disappear into thin air."
Others chimed in, "Yes, we can all help look for it together."
The butler said, "We've already searched everywhere, and the bracelet was still on Miss's wrist when the banquet started, so there aren't many places to look."
"Then let's search the places that might be there again."
The butler hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke as if he had made a great decision: "Actually, there's one more place we haven't looked for, which is... I might offend you all."
"where?"
"Your clothes..." The butler lowered his head after speaking, looking very embarrassed.
Suspecting someone had stolen the bracelet, the guests fell silent. They were all invited, and weren't they all wealthy and powerful? How could they possibly do such a petty and despicable thing?
Zhou Shuhui frowned reproachfully, "Uncle Butler, what nonsense are you talking about? Everyone here is my good friend, and none of you would do such a thing. Hurry up and apologize to everyone!"
The butler quickly bowed and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. I was just too anxious. I didn't mean to doubt you. I just tend to talk nonsense when I'm anxious. Please take it as me saying something silly and don't mind."
The words had already been spoken, and the expressions of those present changed slightly. After all, everyone attending this gathering was a person of importance, and no one liked being mistaken for a thief. But precisely because of this, everyone was even more eager to find the bracelet than before.
Only in this way can they be cleared of suspicion.
One customer offered, "I can let you check my bag; I didn't take that bracelet."
As soon as these words were spoken, several people volunteered to be inspected.
Zhou Shuhui wiped away her tears and said, "Thank you all for your cooperation, but I will not doubt you, and of course I will not check you. Otherwise, after today, who would dare to attend my birthday party? It's just a bracelet, please don't waste your energy on this matter anymore."
Ye Linlang stepped forward and said, "Little sister, don't say that. Of course everyone knows you don't suspect anyone here, but checking will put everyone at ease. Besides, everyone is dressed very lightly, so checking won't take too much time. What do you all think?"
After Ye Linlang finished speaking, He Suye noticed that he gave her a meaningful look. She returned the look with a faint smile, as if it were none of her business.
Those who wanted to distance themselves from the situation readily agreed, while those who were somewhat reluctant to undergo the inspection kept quiet, since refusing an inspection at this time could easily raise suspicions of a guilty conscience.
All these people care about is their "reputation," so undergoing a check-up isn't a big deal for them.
The butler quickly prepared two rooms, and the male and female guests were checked separately.
However, just as everyone was queuing up to get checked, a waiter suddenly said, "Actually, not everyone needs to go for a check. Just check the people who are suspected."
