Jiang Leyi’s tense body finally relaxed, "As long as you like it, that’s good."
Chu Muxi turned her head, looking thoughtfully at the two of them, smiled faintly, and then shifted her gaze, "Yiyi, I brought back some clothes for you from France. Later, you and Nannan can pick some out, see if there’s anything you like."
Jiang Leyi’s smile diminished somewhat, she softly replied, "Okay."
[Playing the game of boiling the frog in warm water, no wonder Jiang Leyi was led around by her, ending up so tragically, and her role in it is inseparable. What to do now, to make her show her true colors.]
The group made their way to Chu Muxi’s room.
Jiang Nanshu’s inner voice was too active.
Even to Jiang Leyi, who saw Chu Muxi as harmless, realized that even her gentle look had a calculating gleam.
Suppressing this odd sensation, Jiang Leyi still believed in letting facts talk.
She browsed through the gifts Chu Muxi brought back from abroad, glanced at the row of bags in her wardrobe, and suddenly asked, "Xixi, is the LV Spring/Fall limited edition bag I gave you when I visited you in France still around?"
Because that bag had appeared in the hands of Jiang Nanshu’s schoolmate, Chen Qian.
That bag required connections to purchase and was globally limited in number.
Chu Muxi’s hand, as she was tidying up, paused.
Jiang Nanshu’s eyebrows lifted with interest.
[Yo, I was just fretting about how to get you to ask about that bag. You’re making it too easy and saving me the trouble. Let’s keep watching the drama unfold.]
Chu Muxi blinked her eyes, pouting discontentedly, "Yiyi, did you regret giving it to me after? I really like it."
Jiang Leyi followed with a smile, "I know, or I wouldn’t have given it to you directly. I had to wait three months to get that bag, I’ve only carried it once before giving it to you, haven’t even had enough time to enjoy it."
Chu Muxi’s gaze softened, "Don’t worry, I brought that bag back. I’ve always kept the things you gave me very well protected."
The bag is still here?
Jiang Leyi kept her face expressionless, smiled, and agreed, waiting for Chu Muxi to find the bag.
[Nonsense, you gave that bag to Chen Qian. Chu Muxi plays her moves well. If Chen Qian sets me up and it comes out, the bag you gave her would be your death warrant, and she could completelyextract herself from the situation. With the animosity between you and me, even if you explained, I wouldn’t listen. Tsk, every link is well-connected, no wonder she’s been abroad for three years, creating an alibi for herself. She came back because she knew Chen Qian got knocked out by me and came back to keep an eye on things for fear of trouble.]
Jiang Leyi’s eyes were momentarily lost in thought; she hadn’t considered this layer at all.
A cold sweat clung to Jiang Nanshu’s dress as she analyzed in her heart.
Right.
If Jiang Nanshu had indeed been dishonored, the first arrow of suspicion would point to her.
Given their known animosity, who would believe Jiang Leyi had not harmed Jiang Nanshu?
Even if her family believed her innocent, who could guarantee there wouldn’t be a divide?
And Chu Muxi knew, she occasionally shared with her the things between her and Jiang Nanshu.
During her contemplation,
Chu Muxi pulled out the bag, with a playful chuckle, "Here, isn’t the bag you gave me right here?" freewebnσvel.cѳm
Jiang Leyi’s pupils contracted, she steadied her mind and reached out to touch it, "Let me feel it, I really liked it at the time."
The same material, it was indeed a real LV bag.
[You’d better check carefully; there must be a unique factory number!]
Jiang Leyi opened it to look inside, in the corner was a string of numbers "20013"
She was the thirteenth person to get this bag.
This was her bag!
So Chu Muxi never gave the bag to Chen Qian, who wanted to harm Jiang Nanshu?
"Yiyi, you can’t take back what you’ve given me, and you’re checking so meticulously—are you afraid I might have damaged the bag?" Chu Muxi’s voice carried amusement, adding a playful undertone that made her seem all the more personable.
No wonder all the ladies of high society liked her.
If not for her health issues, families looking for marriage alliances would have broken her doorstep.
She, like Lu Qingyan, was the often-praised "child of someone else" by the adults.
Jiang Leyi scrunched up her nose, snorted lightly, "Since I’ve given it to you, how could I possibly want it back. Hmmph, I certainly have to check if you’ve taken good care of my treasure; you’ve kept it very well, just like when I first gave it to you."
Jiang Leyi deliberately said this to inform Jiang Nanshu.
Proving this was indeed the bag she had originally given.
