Chapter 770: 770, immediate outburst, thief!
Upon entering the banquet hall, she was incessantly greeted by a multitude of people all along the way.
“Happy birthday, Miss. Mo!”
“Little Princess, you look so beautiful today!”
“You’re absolutely stunning today!”
“Happy birthday, Princess!”
“…”
...
From the start to the end, Mo Weiyi maintained a cold face until she reached the main table.
Hearing the footsteps, the elder master of the Mo family also raised his head to look.
The old man was wearing a full set of red Tang suit today, radiating vitality. Spotting his beloved granddaughter enter, his face broke into an even wider grin, his beard quivering in delight.
“Yiyi is here.”
Facing her arrival, Mo Yaoxiong, Old Lady Xu, and other elders all looked over to her.
Naturally, a wave of compliments followed.
Until…

“Yiyi, where’s Yebai?” asked Mo Yaoxiong.
The cake cutting ceremony was about to commence and Mo Weiyi stood there without Yebai by her side, ominously silent since she arrived.
Finally, Mo Weiyi spoke up, “Xiaobai is dealing with something and couldn’t make it.”
Her expression cold and splendid, her meticulously defined cat eyes pierced unflinchingly onto Xu Jing.
The ends of her eyes, traced expertly with black liner into a high arc, coupled with her stunning red gown exhibited both a delicate and elegant charm.
It was even laced with a kind of imperious aura that couldn’t be ignored.
Under her downright blatant and unabashed stare, Xu Jing finally stood up with a smile on her face, “Yiyi, happy birthday.”
Mo Weiyi didn’t respond.
Still staring directly at her.
Xu Jing couldn’t help but grow increasingly uneasy under that gaze.
Her smile started to turn stiff, “Yiyi, what’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like this?”
With a subtle squint, Mo Weiyi suddenly reached out.
The move was so swift.
Her hand shot out, grabbing the necklace around Xu Jing’s neck and yanked hard.
“Ah!” Xu Jing shrieked in fright and surprise.
Although the banquet hall was filled with chatter, it maintained a relatively low volume. The woman’s piercing scream punctuated the calm like a stone thrown into still water, drawing everyone’s attention.
“Yiyi, what are you doing!” the old master of the Mo family yelled in shock, his heart skipping a beat, “Unhand her now!”
Mo Yaoxiong also hurriedly shouted, “Weiyi, what are you doing? Let go of her now!”
Old Lady Xu and other onlookers were rendered speechless by the sudden turn of events.
“Yiyi, you’re hurting me…” Xu Jing whimpered, her hands desperately clinging to the necklace.
Previously, Mo Weiyi had scandalously slapped her in front of everyone in the Mo Family when the old master suddenly fainted.
She did not expect that this time, Mo Weiyi would wrench her necklace away so abruptly.
Xu Jing was trying her best to squeeze out some tears in an attempt to make herself look pitiful.
Sure enough, the old master of the Mo Family still cared for the grandson in her womb, and issued an order in anger, “Yiyi, didn’t you hear me telling you to let go! She is your aunt! Mind your manners!”
Mo Weiyi let go of her.
Xu Jing clutched her neck, tears streaming down her face.
The necklace was sturdy and despite yanking it with considerable strength, Mo Weiyi couldn’t break it off, instead leaving a red mark on Xu Jing’s neck.
Her skin was pale to begin with, thus the red mark was very noticeable. Along with the tears on her face, she looked incredibly vulnerable and wronged in the eyes of everyone around her.
The guests instantly had various thoughts running through their minds.
Rumors about the young and beautiful princess of the Mo family who was adored by all since the day she was born have always spread in the social circle. But they never imagined she could be so arrogant and unreasonably rude towards her elder in public!
The next second.
“Thief!”
When Mo Weiyi spoke, the whole room erupted into an uproar.
Xu Jing looked frozen with grievance on her face, “Yiyi, what are you talking about? This is my own necklace.”
“Bullshit!”
Mo Weiyi’s voice rose sharply while more and more guests had started gathering around them.
Su Wanwan too, had brought Huo Jingshen over, along with Zhan Yao and Gu Pingting.
“This is clearly my mother’s necklace! It’s my mother’s heirloom! Do you think I wouldn’t recognize it! Why did you steal my mother’s necklace!” Mo Weiyi trembled with rage.
Initially, she planned to inform Old Lady Xu about Xu Jing and Mo Yaoxiong’s affair. However, when she found out that the “Eternal Heart” necklace was draped around Xu Jing’s neck, she couldn’t hold herself back any longer.
“Yiyi, this necklace is really my own purchase, you have misunderstood! Your grandmother just told me earlier that it looked like the necklace your sister had, but I had already explained that it’s really my own purchase…” Xu Jing rebutted anxiously.
“Rong An,” Mo Weiyi called someone directly.
“Princess,” Rong An responded immediately moving forward.
“Go and get my bag.”
“Yes.”
Rong An turned around and left.
The others were confused and started murmuring amongst themselves.
In the crowding onlookers, Zhan Yao smirked and exchanged glances with Gu Pingting.
As for Su Wanwan,
She looked at Mo Weiyi, concerned but dared not to step forward and ask.
She had no idea about what had actually happened.
Could it really be that Xu Jing had stolen Xu Xian’s heirloom necklace and that had agitated Mo Weiyi so much?
Moreover…
Where was Xiao Yebai?

In less than five minutes, Rong An returned with Mo Weiyi’s handbag.
Lifting her chin slightly, Mo Weiyi said slowly, “I had brought that necklace here today. It’s in a maroon jewelry box. Rong An, help me find it.”
“Alright, Princess.”
Rong An placed the handbag on the table, unzipped it, and searched inside for a while before declaring, “Princess, there’s no jewelry box.”
A collective gasp filled the room.
Mo Weiyi turned to Xu Jing, “Do you have any plausible explanation now?”
“Yiyi, you can’t accuse me of stealing just because you lost your necklace! I really didn’t steal it, and this necklace isn’t even made of jade, but of glass imitation. I bought it from Zhou Dasheng on Cloud Dragon Road a while back and I even kept the receipt. If you don’t believe me, I can show it to you later,” Xu Jing hurriedly explained.
Mo Weiyi rebutted, “You got divorced from Uncle Mo a year ago and didn’t ask for a dime of alimony. Where did you get the savings from? You only started working at the school a few months ago, then you spent a lot of money on renting a house and even more on recent hospital bills. How did you afford to buy this necklace?”
One question after another left Xu Jing feeling pale and cornered.
This only further darkened the grave expression on Old Mo’s face.
“Rong An, remove her necklace for me.”
At Mo Weiyi’s command, Rong An immediately advanced and reached out to take off the necklace.
Being a man and having considerable strength, coupled with his abrupt approach, Xu Jing let out a hysterical shriek even before Rong An could touch her.
“Ah! Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me! Old Master, Old Master, save me, save me quickly…”
Mo Family’s venerable old master watched the harrowing scene and finally lost his restraint. He slammed his walking stick onto the floor, “Everybody stop!”
The entire banquet hall fell into deafening silence.
Rong An halted his actions.
Mo Weiyi’s gaze immediately turned towards the old master of Mo Family.
With his aged face grim, Old Master Mo charged, “Weiyi, today is your birthday. With so many guests present here, can you stop creating a scene?”
“Am I the one creating a scene?” Mo Weiyi peered her red lips into a cynical smile, “Grandfather, are you sure it’s me causing trouble or are you trying to cover her dirty deeds?”
As soon as these words were out, there was another uproar at the scene.
Furthermore, Zhan Yao was utterly wild with excitement.
Yes!
Just as expected!
Little Princess seemed to know about Xu Jing and Mo Yaoxiong’s affairs and intended to completely face off!

A bit more intense!
Even more intense!
But where the hell has that rascal Yebai gone?
Could he have purposely escaped?
Damn!
Zhan Yao suddenly realized everything.
Indeed, that rascal turned out to be very crafty. He must have planned everything well in advance, conveniently not being at the scene when the incident occurred. So no matter how much fuss Mo Weiyi makes, it would have nothing to do with him and no one would suspect him.
While proudly pondering such thoughts, all of a sudden, his trousers pocket started vibrating furiously.
Zhan Yao hurriedly took out his phone.
Seeing the caller ID, he pulled Gu Pingting and began to walk away.
Gu Pingting was puzzled, “Captain, what’s wrong? Aren’t we just spectating? Captain… Captain, slow down…”
…
…
Here on this side, Old Master Mo’s face already looked extremely displeased, “Weiyi, do you even know what you are doing?”
He didn’t think that Mo Weiyi would know about Xu Jing’s pregnancy, instead he assumed it was only because the necklace was too similar to “Eternal Heart.”
It was, after all, a keepsake of Xu Xian, it was understandable for Mo Weiyi to be so agitated.
But no matter what, all the guests present today were Mo Family’s partners, and there were representatives from the major families of Nancheng, including some of his old friends and old subordinates.
Create such a scene over a necklace would indeed disgrace them and make them a laughing stock.
Mo Weiyi’s fine face was cold as ice, “Grandpa, my mother’s necklace is missing! It was stolen by that woman! Now, when I have caught her red-handed, you are not even helping me?”
Tears welled up in her eyes, she quickly turned to Mo Yaoxiong, “Dad, this necklace, as I heard from grandma, was an auctioned wedding gift from you to my mom on your wedding, which cost 15 million! Initially, it belonged to mom. After she left, you gave it to me, so now it’s mine. My stuff has been stolen by this woman, are you not gonna help me take it back?”
As she spoke, she finally couldn’t hold back her tears and they started rolling down from her eyes.
Although Mo Weiyi was delicate, she rarely ever cried in front of elders since she grew up.
Unlike Xu Jing’s loud crying, she didn’t make any sound at all. Two clear tears quietly rolled down her cheeks, silently yet violently…
Seeing his daughter like this and hearing her words, something twisted in Mo Yaoxiong’s heart.
Immediately, he turned to Xu Jing, “Xu Jing, take off your necklace.”
“Brother-in-law, I really didn’t steal…”With tears in her eyes, Xu Jing felt incredibly wronged.
“Just take it off when I ask you to! What’s with all this prattle!” Mo Yaoxiong snapped, “If you don’t take it off, I’ll make Rong An do it!”
Xu Jing bit her lip hard.
She quickly looked at Old Master Mo.
The old master’s brow was deeply furrowed and seeing his favorite granddaughter cry over a necklace, he somehow let the matter slide.
Left with no option.
Xu Jing could only bow her head and take the necklace off from her neck.
Her hand had barely warmed up when the necklace was already snatched away by Mo Weiyi.
She closely examined the necklace and then declared, “I cannot be mistaken, this is indeed my mother’s jadeite necklace!”
Mo Yaoxiong clenched his jaw while his brows knitted together.
The old master of Mo Family closed his eyes, appearing helpless.
“Weiyi, are you sure?” asked Old Lady Xu.
Xu Jing had just asserted that she bought it herself. Could it be possible Xu Jing was lying? Had she indeed stolen Xu Xian’s necklace?
“Grandma, I am sure. I saw it just this afternoon. This is my mother’s jadeite necklace, I cannot be mistaken,” Mo Weiyi confirmed confidently.
A chill ran through Old Lady Xu.
Looking at Xu Jing, her voice was filled with rage, “Xu Jing, what exactly is going on? Why did you lie to me, saying that you bought this necklace?”
“Mom, I really bought it myself!”
“Are you still arguing? Do you think Weiyi would falsely accuse you?”
“I really didn’t steal, I haven’t been to the old house recently, how could I have stolen it! How could I have stolen!”
Xu Jing was totally at loss for words.
She really did not expect that Mo Weiyi would frame her for theft!
As she looked around at the guests, on each face, she could see an expression of amusement.
Biting her lip in humiliation, Xu Jing asserted, “If I am lying, may I die disreputably!”
The crowd was momentarily stunned by her swearing.
…
“Honey, what should we do now?”
In the crowd, Su Wanwan pulled Huo Jingshen’s arm.
The man raised his handsome eyebrows, his expression calm, and didn’t speak.
“Weiyi would definitely not falsely accuse someone.”
Su Wanwan trusted her best friend unconditionally.
She just didn’t expect such a thing to happen at a birthday party, and Xiao Yebai wasn’t there.
Mo Weiyi was crying.
However, Xu Jing adamantly refused to admit it.
Now it was a stalemate with both sides refusing to yield.
Looking at Huo Jingshen’s calm demeanor, Su Wanwan finally pinched his arm hard, “I’m asking you something! You need to think of a plan!”
