Chapter 2239 - 2142: No Room for Argument
The surrounding people, upon hearing this, agreed unanimously, each casting looks of disdain or suspicion towards Su Anning.
"Exactly, got caught stealing someone’s wallet and still refuses to admit it, won’t even confess at the bitter end!"
"Why bother wasting words with someone like her? So thick-skinned, clearly a habitual thief, just send her straight to the police station!"
"Hey, I’ve seen plenty like her, won’t cry until seeing the coffin. Call the police, once they arrive, she’ll behave herself!"
"..."
The onlookers all voiced condemnation. Su Anning, a young lady pampered from youth, had never encountered such a scene before, and immediately her eyes turned red, filled with tears, feeling wronged but still trying hard to defend herself:
"Sister, I really didn’t steal your wallet. As for how this wallet ended up in my pocket, I really don’t know what happened..."
Hearing Su Anning’s words, before the woman who lost the wallet could respond, the young man holding Su Anning’s arm became furious, looking at her with a sneer and disdain, yelled:
"You woman, still won’t confess even at this point! I saw with my own eyes you bumping into this lady and then taking advantage of her inattention to put your hand in her pocket and hook out the wallet. If I hadn’t seen it and called out to this lady and caught you, you’d have already run away!"
"Now the wallet was searched out from your pocket, and you still dare to stubbornly deny it? You think by not confessing, the wallet isn’t stolen by you? You look pretty and delicate, but I didn’t expect you to be such a person. You’ve got hands and feet, why not do something else, why do such things?"
The young man’s face was dark, clearly appearing very angry.
The surrounding people, hearing the young man’s words, also displayed looks of condemnation towards Su Anning, pointing and discussing, most had already accepted this established fact, looking at Su Anning with vigilance, clearly having taken her for a thief.
Su Anning, a young girl, had never been through such a scene, immediately flustered, could only strive hard to defend herself:
"I, I... but I really did not steal her wallet, nor did I intentionally bump into her, I was just looking down playing with my phone at the time!"
Su Anning’s voice carried a heavy sob, but her defense had no convincing power, feeling wronged but not knowing how to prove her innocence, she could only tearfully repeat her words.
These onlookers didn’t know Su Anning, weren’t clear about her situation, naturally assumed she was just being stubborn.
However, Huo Sining, who approached understanding the situation, couldn’t help but slightly curl the corner of her mouth, sarcasm flashed in her eyes.
This is quite amusing, someone actually pinned the blame on Su Anning.
No matter how badly the Su Family is doing, it’s still a significant hereditary family, a calligraphy or painting by Su Zhongqing outside can easily fetch millions, Su Anning grew up naïve to the world, never had to worry about money matters.
Not to mention anything else, just the pendant around this girl’s neck, taken out could sell for hundreds of thousands.
The earrings she wears are little trinkets casually gifted by Huo Si.
Those earrings, though Huo Si made them using leftover materials from the Guan Yu Beauty Shop, silver-inlaid jade ornaments, even such small pieces were genuine glass type jadeite, at least priced at several thousand starting in a normal jadeite shop.
To say she’d steal a wallet, isn’t that a joke?
However, Huo Sining didn’t stand out to speak for Su Anning at this moment but squinted her eyes standing on the outer edge, silently observing the development of events.
She wanted to see what the two people would do next to continue this play.
Su Anning still explained weakly, and either her sobbing tone and wronged expression stirred the young woman’s sympathy or something, seeing Su Anning’s look the woman actually felt somewhat unwilling to proceed further with the young man:
"Forget it, sigh, I think this young girl must have encountered some difficulties and was desperate to do this, since you’ve recovered the wallet, let’s just end it here, I don’t want to pursue it further."
Saying this, the woman turned back with a meaningful tone towards Su Anning:
"But young lady, please never do something like this again next time, it’s for the sake of your youth that I’m sparing you some face so you wouldn’t be caught by the police, but others won’t be as kind-hearted as I am, if you’re caught again, it won’t be as easy as this time!"
The woman had a well-meaning guiding appearance, and her words instantly won the approval of the surrounding onlookers, all praised this woman’s kindness.
"This girl is really good-hearted, being so magnanimous even after her wallet got stolen!"
"Sigh, I hope this thief learns a lesson and reflects on this, not to repeat such things!"
"You people are too optimistic, people like that live by this craft, how could they just stop, I think this girl is just a softie, once let go, who knows whose turn is next to be the victim!"
Hearing the people’s words around her, Su Anning almost cried without tears, endlessly explaining to the young woman:
"Sister, thank you so much for being so magnanimous, but I truly didn’t steal your wallet, I genuinely don’t know when your wallet ended up in my clothing pocket..."
The young woman hearing Su Anning still explaining to this point seemed rather displeased, showing some impatience directly cutting off Su Anning’s words, seemingly not wanting to argue and entangle for this matter anymore:
"Alright, alright, young lady, I’ve said I won’t pursue it, you don’t need to say anymore, this matter ends here, okay!"
Saying that, the woman took the wallet from the young man’s hand, about to leave.
The surrounding people seeing this scene did nothing but praise the woman’s magnanimity and kindness, looking at Su Anning with more hatred and disgust.
Thinking this play was about to end in such a manner, yet unexpectedly at this moment, the young man suddenly shouted to the woman about to turn away:
"Hey, beauty, wait a moment!"
