Chapter 130 Disrespecting Her

"Oh? She's here too?"

Fu Chunyu's eyes narrowed slightly. Her gaze swept over Zhang Hongzhu, and as if she had thought of something, she beckoned. "Come here!"

Zhang Hongzhu approached Fu Chunyu, bowing and scraping, standing there with extreme caution.

Fu Chunyu looked down at her and said indifferently, "Although the main responsibility for this matter doesn't lie with you, you still used these earrings without permission!"

"If you want to make up for your mistake, then do one thing for me obediently! As long as this task is completed, I can let bygones be bygones and won't hold you accountable for anything. We'll act as if nothing ever happened."

Zhang Hongzhu's eyes immediately lit up. She hurried to pat her chest and guaranteed, "Please give me your orders, Miss Fu! No matter what it is, I, Zhang Hongzhu, will give it my all and ensure it's done for Miss Fu!"

Fu Chunyu pulled out a gift box and placed it in Zhang Hongzhu's hand, saying coolly, "It's actually no big deal. As long as you put this item into Zhou Xiyan's pocket, you'll have done me a great favor!"

Seeing the exquisite gift box in her hand, Zhang Hongzhu's eyes were filled with confusion. She asked doubtfully, "Miss Fu, didn't you want to deal with Zhou Xiyan? Why are you giving her this gift box?"

Fu Chunyu's face darkened, and she said with displeasure, "Why do you talk so much? Do I need your permission for whatever I want to do? If you don't want to do it, I'll find someone else..."

"I'll do it, I'll do it! Miss Fu, I was just asking casually! I promise you, I will definitely put this gift box into Zhou Xiyan's pocket!" Zhang Hongzhu was startled and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Don't let her find out! I want you to put this gift box into her pocket or her bag without her knowing. Do you understand?"

"Yes! I understand!"

Inside the banquet hall.

Zhang Hongzhu ran in panting. After her gaze swept the surroundings, she quickly locked onto Zhou Xiyan's figure.

She gripped the gift box in her hand and walked quickly toward Zhou Xiyan, feeling slightly nervous in her heart.

"Miss Zhou!"

Zhang Hongzhu soon reached Zhou Xiyan and said with a face full of smiles, "Miss Zhou, do you have a makeup mirror? I'd like to borrow it for a moment; I forgot to bring mine."

"I..."

Without waiting for Zhou Xiyan to answer, Zhang Hongzhu directly grabbed Zhou Xiyan's bag and began rummaging through it.

Zhou Xiyan's expression was not very good, and she immediately reached out to take her bag back.

"Here it is! Thanks!"

After Zhang Hongzhu found the makeup mirror, she took the opportunity to slip the gift box into the bag, threw it back to Zhou Xiyan, and laughed sheepishly, "I'm going to the restroom!"

Just after Zhang Hongzhu left, Fu Chunyu was seen entering the banquet hall, surrounded by a group of people like stars circling the moon.

She walked straight to the center of the venue, holding a microphone, and said loudly, "Please be quiet, everyone. I have something to handle here, and I hope everyone can cooperate!"

The venue instantly fell silent.

Everyone looked over in confusion, not quite understanding what was happening.

Fu Chunyu's gaze swept the room. Her expression was grave as she said in a heavy voice, "Today is a corporate gathering organized by my father. Those attending this gathering are all heads of various emerging enterprises. It should have been a happy day."

"But I never expected that on this happy day, such a malicious incident would actually occur!"

"I thought those coming here for the gathering were all people of status, but the result? Someone actually stole my diamond necklace—that was my most important possession!"

As soon as these words were spoken...

The entire scene broke into an uproar.

"What?"

"Someone actually did such a thing?"

"Who on earth has the nerve to steal at a gathering like this?"

"How can such a person be worthy of attending a gathering of this level? It's simply disgraceful!"

"To dare to steal Miss Fu's things, they must be tired of living, right? Don't they know who Miss Fu is?"

The reason many people were so indignant was, of course, the hope of currying favor with Fu Chunyu.

After all, Fu Chunyu's father was Fu Yongzhong, the second-in-command of Zhonghai!

Seeing the scene of public indignation, Fu Chunyu nodded with satisfaction in her heart. "Everyone! I just received news and have confirmed the identity of the thief. She is currently hiding right here in our gathering!"

"Who is it?"

The people at the scene looked at one another.

Fu Chunyu's gaze fell on Zhou Xiyan. A cold sneer curled at the corner of her mouth as she stepped toward Zhou Xiyan and pointed her finger. "It's her!"

"Ah?"

Seeing it was Zhou Xiyan, everyone was stunned and somewhat at a loss.

Initially, some people wanted to swarm forward to seize the thief.

But seeing it was a great beauty like Zhou Xiyan, they had to restrain themselves.

"This... she seems to be the president of Shangzhou Company, Zhou Xiyan?"

"Shangzhou Company is a joint venture between the God of Commerce and the Zhou Family. How could Zhou Xiyan stoop to stealing?"

"Yeah! With President Zhou's reputation, she shouldn't be doing this kind of thing?"

"Tsk tsk tsk! So beautiful on the outside, but so filthy on the inside!"

Zhou Xiyan herself was stunned for a moment, completely failing to understand why Fu Chunyu would call her a thief.

She was clearly meeting the other party for the first time!

She hadn't even seen her before, so why was the other party so certain that she had stolen her things?

Zhou Xiyan shook her head and said, "Miss Fu, have you made a mistake? I don't even know you, and I've never seen you before! Besides, I would never steal anyone's things!"

Fu Chunyu stared coldly at Zhou Xiyan. Appraising her, she had to admit that Zhou Xiyan was quite attractive; no wonder Wei Ruipeng wanted to give her diamond earrings to hit on her.

But it was precisely because Zhou Xiyan was attractive that Fu Chunyu felt even more jealous. She said coldly, "You wouldn't steal anyone's things? Then will you let me search your belongings?"

Zhou Xiyan's expression was poor as she frowned and said, "Miss Fu, if I didn't steal it, I didn't steal it. You have no evidence; how can you just search me? Does everyone you suspect have to let you search them to prove their innocence? What if the search turns up nothing? What then?"

The other party wanting to search her without any evidence was clearly showing her no respect at all!

Fu Chunyu sneered, "I think you just don't dare let me search because you have a guilty conscience!"

After Fu Chunyu said this, some women at the scene also chimed in.

"Exactly! You don't dare let Miss Fu search you; it's obvious you have a guilty conscience!"

"If you really didn't steal anything, what's wrong with letting Miss Fu search you?"

"If it were me, I'd be eager to let Miss Fu search me to prove my innocence, because I'd have the confidence of someone who didn't steal!"
