Chapter 1295 - 1295 Are You Doubting My Standard?

1295 Are You Doubting My Standard?

Qiao Xi knew very well in her heart that He Wenxian must be thinking that Cheng Juan was invited by He Weinian, so he would definitely stand on her side in the end. That was indeed the case on the surface. Moreover, Qiao Xi had heard from Cheng Juan that he grew up in an orphanage and had suffered a lot. However, a family had donated a sum of money to the orphanage at that time, allowing him to obtain some benefits.

The family who donated the money was the He family. If that were the case, Cheng Juan should be very grateful to the He family. After all, he seemed to be a grateful person, but—

Qiao Xi smiled meaningfully. “Miss He, I never said that I wanted to go back on my word. I was just reminding you.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Juan had already picked up the small hammer. He Wenxian’s excited voice trembled slightly. “Xi Xi, what do you mean?”

!!

Qiao Xi glanced at her and did not say anything because He Wenxian would soon find out.

The hammer was raised high, and everyone held their breaths as their gazes landed on Qiao Xi’s necklace. They all thought that Cheng Juan would smash Qiao Xi’s necklace. With Miss He’s ident.i.ty, she would not wear a fake.

Bang!

A violent bang sounded as a ruby necklace shattered. The smile on He Wenxian’s face froze.

The entire venue was silent. They could not believe the scene in front of them. He Wenxian’s necklace had actually been smashed by Cheng Juan!

How did this happen?

When everyone was shocked to the point of being speechless, Qiao Xi broke the silence. “I just wanted to remind Miss He as it’d be too embarra.s.sing for your necklace to be smashed in public, so I wanted to give you a chance to go back on your word. Unfortunately, you didn’t cherish it!”

As soon as she finished speaking, He Wenxian looked as if she had eaten a fly. Even though she had been putting on an act for so many years, she couldn’t help but be furious when she saw the ruby necklace she had painstakingly obtained shatter.

Everyone saw the two of them take off their necklaces with their own eyes. Qiao Xi placed hers on the left, while He Wenxian placed hers on the right. The broken necklace was on the right. This scene happened under everyone’s eyes. Qiao Xi had no chance to pull a trick, so He Wenxian’s necklace was a fake.

The entire venue was in an uproar.

“Mr. Cheng smashed Miss He’s necklace, which means that she was wearing a fake!”

“Oh my G.o.d! I didn’t expect the high and mighty Miss He to wear a fake!”

He Wenxian’s face was ashen, and her entire body was extremely cold. She almost stopped breathing. She raised her eyes to look at Cheng Juan in disbelief. Perhaps Cheng Juan really could not tolerate fakes. It was understandable that he smashed her necklace, but shouldn’t he have smashed Qiao Xi’s necklace too?

However, after Cheng Juan smashed He Wenxian’s necklace, he handed the hammer to his a.s.sistant and instructed him to put it away. Then, he leaned back in the chair and crossed his long legs, looking extremely lazy. His actions had already told everyone the final conclusion.

He Wenxian’s sharp nails had already dug into her palms. The pain made her stay awake and rational. The group of young ladies who were speaking up for her just now was instantly anxious. “No! No! Wenxian, what exactly is going on? Why were you wearing a fake? Moreover, you said that your father gave you this necklace!”

Lan Rong’s face was pale. When she recalled the scene of her standing up for He Wenxian and mocking Qiao Xi, she wished for nothing more than to slap herself. However, she was still unconvinced and argued loudly, “Mr. Cheng, take a good look again. Wenxian is the eldest daughter of the He family. She wouldn’t wear a fake. On the other hand, that woman is just the adopted daughter of the Xia family. I don’t know where she found this fake. She…”

“Are you doubting my standard?” Cheng Juan looked up slightly, his eyes filled with coldness. Lan Rong was so scared that she instantly swallowed the words in her mouth.

After a few seconds of silence, Cheng Juan snorted. “Rubies are indeed not rare, but every ruby on Scorching Heart is expensive and extremely rare. The rubies in the fake aren’t big enough, so they used fillings on the back of the gems and the diamonds and platinum beside to cover it up. From afar, one really wouldn’t be able to tell. But do you think I can’t tell when it was so poorly made?

“It’s a fake Scorching Heart, and it only imitated the genuine necklace’s appearance. It’s difficult to imitate the essence of it. That fake was truly laughable.”

The moment that was said, everyone gasped. Although they did not know anything about jewelry appraisal, Cheng Juan had already made himself very clear. No one would doubt his professionalism. Moreover, Cheng Juan had always been fair. He did not have to offend the He family for Miss Qiao and ruin his reputation.
