Chapter 124: Chapter 124 This Ring Is Mine (4)

Qiao Mo was slightly taken aback, her gaze falling onto her fingers.

Sapphire... and diamond.

Similarly, Yu Qianxun’s gaze also fell onto Qiao Mo’s hand, and she instinctively spoke up, "Xiao Mo! The ring on your hand is also sapphire and diamond!"

Yu Qianxun’s voice wasn’t loud, but it wasn’t quiet either, immediately drawing a lot of attention.

In an instant, many people around were looking at Qiao Mo’s hand, and the whole banquet hall quickly quieted down.

Shen Tingting and Yu Xiaoqin passed through the crowd and quickly stepped forward.

"Isn’t... isn’t this Tingting’s ring! Qiao Mo, how come Tingting’s ring is on your hand!"

Qiao Mo frowned, putting down the plate in her hand, wondering what trouble these two were stirring up again.

"Xiao Qin, don’t jump to conclusions..." Shen Tingting interrupted, then turned to Qiao Mo, "Xiao Mo, could you let me look at the ring on your hand?"

Qiao Mo glanced at her indifferently and directly said, "No."

Shen Tingting’s eyes instantly became moist, looking at Qiao Mo innocently, seemingly sad yet helpless, ultimately saying nothing.

"Tingting, don’t talk to her! Qiao Mo, I’m asking you how Tingting’s ring ended up in your hand!" Yu Xiaoqin spoke again.

"This ring is mine." Qiao Mo lowered her gaze and spoke softly.

"How could it possibly be yours! This ring is clearly Tingting’s! It was on her hand twenty minutes ago, so how come it’s on your hand now as hers is missing?"

Qiao Mo frowned silently.

She knew since Fu Nancheng gave her the ring that it was of great value; logically, unless deliberately imitated, identical rings would rarely appear.

But given that Yu Xiaoqin dared to speak so publicly, Shen Tingting must have indeed worn it.

Sure enough, someone soon responded.

"Yes, Qiao Mo, twenty minutes ago, we saw Tingting wearing it, so how is it on your hand now."

"Exactly! Did you pick it up? This thing is worth a lot, I advise you to speak the truth..."

"Gee, could it be stolen?"

...

For a moment, there was a buzz of discussion around, but Qiao Mo’s expression remained unchanged, as if she was oblivious to the surrounding suspicion and ridicule targeted at her.

Yu Qianxun couldn’t help but speak, "Don’t talk nonsense! Even if Shen Tingting had an identical one, does that mean Xiao Mo can’t have one?"

"Yes, everyone calm down; there might be some misunderstanding involved here." Shen Tingting also tried to persuade.

Yu Xiaoqin sneered, "Tingting, you’re just too kind-hearted."

"Alright, let’s assume the ring is Qiao Mo’s! I’d like to ask Qiao Mo where this ring is from? Considering the Qiao family’s current capability, they surely can’t afford such an expensive thing. I’d like Miss Qiao to explain."

With that, everyone nodded in agreement, seemingly finding Yu Xiaoqin’s words reasonable.

"Xiao Mo..." Yu Qianxun spoke worriedly.

"I’m okay." Qiao Mo responded with a smile to her, turning to Yu Xiaoqin again, "The Qiao family indeed can’t afford it now, but that doesn’t mean the ring isn’t mine."

"Then tell us, where did the ring come from?"

"The ring was a gift from a friend." Qiao Mo lowered her gaze again, the scene of Fu Nancheng tossing the ring to her involuntarily surfacing in her mind.
