"On what grounds? You have no right to inspect the guests’ bags," Yang Jingwei retorted firmly.
"Alright." Lin Zhiyi glanced at the people around her, "I’ve already proven my innocence; it’s just that Mrs. Bai is unwilling to let me check. I really can’t be too demanding."
With that, she shrugged her shoulders.
At this time, the ladies she invited became key players.
They were the best at being sarcastic.
"Mrs. Bai, weren’t you aggressive earlier? Why have you become a turtle hiding in its shell now?"
"Miss Bai, didn’t you also study jewelry design? Quickly tell us what’s going on here?"
"Don’t give the orphaned mother a hard time, they’ve had it tough enough."
One of the ladies who didn’t get along with Yang Jingwei took advantage of her status and stepped forward to snatch Yang Jingwei’s handbag.
"Being so nitpicky, are you disrespecting the Third Young Master?"
Without giving Yang Jingwei a chance to stop her, she directly dumped the contents onto the table.
Besides cosmetics, there was a specially-made key resembling an ornament, but the top of the key was very hard and sharp.
To everyone’s surprise, the red diamond fell out of Yang Jingwei’s bag.
This scene not only stunned everyone else but even Yang Jingwei herself.
How could it be in her bag?
Indeed, how could it be in her bag?
As expected, Lin Zhiyi had instructed her assistant to keep an eye on her and secretly put it back.
Lin Zhiyi picked up the red diamond and brought over an instrument to examine it.
"What a coincidence, this is the exact one Mrs. Bai lost. It seems it ended up in Mrs. Bai’s bag."
Once these words were spoken.
Yang Jingwei instantly understood what had happened.
Lin Zhiyi chuckled slightly, "It seems it was all a misunderstanding; otherwise, how could it be found in Mrs. Bai’s bag?"
The ladies who went with Yang Jingwei to admire the jewelry looked puzzled and frowned.
"I remember that when Mrs. Bai tried it on, she didn’t even bring a handbag. How did the red diamond end up in the bag?"
Unless someone put it in there.
The handbag is something you keep yourself; who else could have put it in?
Several ladies exchanged glances, not daring to speak further.
Lin Zhiyi smiled without saying a word.
According to Yang Jingwei’s plan, she would take people to the VIP room where the jewelry was tried on earlier and find the red diamond.
This would prove that the loss was due to a flaw in the setting design.
Yang Jingwei wouldn’t just get a full refund, she’d also stain Lin Zhiyi’s reputation from the start.
This move of hers was ruthless.
After all, Lin Zhiyi had prepared so much, and if there was no business after opening, she’d be losing money every day.
The loss involved is unimaginable.
However, Yang Jingwei didn’t expect that Lin Zhiyi had a backup plan.
Actually, surveillance had captured Yang Jingwei throwing the red diamond into a secluded corner.
That way, she wouldn’t worry about someone else picking it up.
Only she knew about this.
Little did she know, the assistant picked it up immediately after and had an employee stealthily put it back in Yang Jingwei’s bag while serving tea to the ladies.
As for why.
Lin Zhiyi’s studio is targeting high-end luxury clients, destined to serve no ordinary people.
If those ladies found out she was secretly recording some unpleasant footage at any time and place,
those unaware might think she was trying to catch their secret.
So she had to show those ladies what should and shouldn’t be done through her actions.
Lin Zhiyi put down the red diamond and picked up the specially-made key.
Held in her palm, it was completely concealed.
She didn’t expose it, smiled and said, "Perhaps Mrs. Bai was too forceful when observing the necklace, causing the red diamond to fall off. But since Mrs. Bai picked it up, she should have told me. It had me thinking the red diamond was lost, which would be a significant loss."
Of course, the others understood.
No one paid attention to Yang Jingwei anymore.
Yang Jingwei’s face turned pale, glaring at Lin Zhiyi.
Lin Zhiyi winked playfully, the ladder was there, whether Yang Jingwei takes it was her decision.
But Yang Jingwei didn’t really have another option.
She laughed, "I’ve gotten a bit forgetful in my old age, I had completely forgotten."
Lin Zhiyi smiled faintly, "No problem, as long as the misunderstanding is cleared. Be careful when wearing high-end jewelry, and make sure you don’t... clash directly."
Yang Jingwei’s corner of her mouth twitched, "Got it."
