CHAPTER 129: CHAPTER 129: PIG-LIKE TEAMMATES (4)

Qiao Mo looked at her with a mocking smile: I did it on purpose, what are you going to do about it?

Yu Xiaoqin was almost driven to madness, her eyes shimmering with tears, a breath trapped in her chest with no way to release it, feeling increasingly uncomfortable!

"Oh? Isn’t that Shen Tingting’s ring?"

Suddenly, a woman looked at a ring on the ground and spoke in surprise.

Everyone turned their heads to look. Just now, when Yu Xiaoqin fell, her handbag dropped, and her phone and wallet flew out, scattered all over the place. The ring lay next to the wallet, glittering so brightly it couldn’t be ignored!

"Ah, it’s Tingting’s ring!" Yu Xiaoqin was the first to speak, quickly picking up the ring.

A trace of sarcasm flashed in Qiao Mo’s eyes, and she sneered: "I wonder why a ring that Miss Shen treasures so much would appear in your handbag? Could it be a case of the thief crying thief?"

"Qiao Mo, don’t slander me! I..."

Before Yu Xiaoqin could finish her sentence, Shen Tingting hurriedly interjected: "Oh, my brain! It’s my fault, I took off the ring when I went to the bathroom just now, and since I didn’t have my handbag, I put it in Xiao Qin’s bag, but I completely forgot about it!"

Once again, a flurry of murmurs arose around them. Some believed it was possible, as many women liked to take off their jewelry when washing their hands, and if she feared forgetting it, putting it directly in the bag wasn’t impossible.

However, some clearly didn’t believe her, suspecting that Shen Tingting was just putting on a show.

The surrounding noise hadn’t even quieted down when another question captured everyone’s attention.

"Wasn’t it said that this ring was auctioned for eighteen billion? And there’s supposed to be only one in the world, so why are there two identical rings now?"

People’s gazes moved back and forth between Shen Tingting’s and Qiao Mo’s hands. Shen Tingting subconsciously glanced at the one in Qiao Mo’s hand.

For some unknown reason, an inexplicable unease arose.

No matter how she looked, the diamond on Qiao Mo’s hand seemed brighter, and the sapphire looked more vivid and clear.

At this moment, the two stood extremely close, facing each other, and the rings were less than a meter apart, particularly dazzling under the brilliant lights of the banquet hall.

But any piece of jewelry, for all its brilliance, pales in comparison.

At this moment, Qiao Mo’s ring was radiant, refracting beams of magnificent light.

In contrast, Shen Tingting’s ring, originally quite striking, suddenly dimmed as if it had met a sovereign and instantly lost its luster.

Most people’s eyes were involuntarily drawn to the ring on Qiao Mo’s hand, and even Shen Tingting was no exception.

She wasn’t inexperienced in jewelry; anyone with a sharp eye could see which gem was more dazzling in this situation.

Instinctively retracting her hand a bit, her face showed traces of embarrassment, yet she still tried to maintain composure and wanted to smooth things over.

But before she could speak, Yu Xiaoqin chimed in first: "Hmph, and why else? Because someone’s ring is a fake!"

Shen Tingting’s face instantly turned for the worse, lightly tugging at Yu Xiaoqin, trying to stop her from saying more.

But she was bent on humiliating Qiao Mo, thinking Shen Tingting was just playing the good cop, and immediately began acting the bad cop again: "This ring has been on countless magazines, everyone knows there’s only one in the world, and it was auctioned for eighteen billion at a previous event. Do you think Qiao Mo can afford that?"
