Chapter 89: Can’t Bear To Let Her Go To Prison

“Alright, the banquet is about to start. Everyone, let’s go to the front hall.” Madam Meng smiled as she waved at everyone. “If Xi Xi wants to see ‘Time Flows’ for a while longer, you should accompany her, Wan Wan. I’ll bring the others to the front hall.”

After all, this dress belonged to the Meng family. Once Madam Meng spoke, even if the others wanted to look at it for a while more, they would be too embarrassed to do so. Everyone turned their backs to Qiao Xi and the others as they walked toward the direction of the hall.

Now, only Qiao Xi and Meng Wan were left. From an angle where the others could not see, Meng Wan looked smugly at Qiao Xi, who was seriously admiring the gown. This fool was actually looking at the replica with such relish. She probably did not know what she was about to face, right?

She would make sure this woman could not show off anymore!

Meng Wan’s eyes shifted, and her face was filled with viciousness. She suddenly took out something from her pocket and stuffed it into Qiao Xi’s hand when she was not paying attention. Then, she quickly opened her mouth and said with a terrified voice, “Qiao Xi, what are you trying to do? Do you want to destroy ‘Time Flow’? No! Stop this instant!”

Everyone subconsciously turned around and saw Qiao Xi holding a small knife in her hand. The tip of the knife was aimed at ‘Time Flows’.

Meng Wan pounced over in a panic and used her body to block Qiao Xi as she begged, “Qiao Xi, stop! That’s ‘Time Flows’! There’s only one ‘Time Flows’ in the world! No matter how much you dislike it, you can’t destroy it!”

She deliberately grabbed Qiao Xi’s hand and showed the cold blade to everyone.

The guests gasped and looked at each other in dismay. “Didn’t they say that the people who are attending the banquet today can’t bring knives? When I came in, I was searched.”

“This… Madam Meng and Miss Meng were kind enough to invite Qiao Xi to admire the dress, but Qiao Xi actually wants to destroy it? If she really came with such an ulterior motive, the knife must have been hidden quite well. We probably couldn’t find it even if we searched her body.”

“F*ck, isn’t this woman too vicious? Does she not like high fashion, or is she jealous that the Meng family owns such a beautiful dress?”

They felt that the second speculation was more likely to be the case.

Madam Meng’s expression changed as she hurriedly returned. “What’s going on? Wan Wan, what did you just say?”

Everyone was in no rush to go to the front hall and waited for Qiao Xi’s explanation.

Meng Wan said in tears, “Just now, I wanted Qiao Xi to get closer so that she could better observe the dress. Unexpectedly, she suddenly took out a knife and cut the dress. I heard the sound of fabric tearing and quickly turned my head. I tried my best to stop Qiao Xi from continuing to destroy the dress. Boo-hoo, what should we do, Mom? What about the dress…”

Madam Meng went to check the dress. When she saw the tear on it, she said with heartache, “Qiao Xi, our Meng family invited you with good intentions. Is this how you repay us? The banquet has set a rule that guests can’t bring any knives with them, but you sneaked in a knife. Why is that? Did you plan to destroy ‘Time Flows’ a long time ago?”

Qiao Xi played with the knife in her hand and curved the corners of her mouth in amusement.

Wang Nuo was the first to jump out and roar, “I knew that you had ulterior motives for coming to the Meng family’s banquet! Do you know how much this dress is worth? 800 million! You’re deliberately destroying their family’s prized possession. I’m calling the police! The amount of money that dress is worth is enough for you to rot in prison!”

Everyone came back to their senses and recalled Madam Meng and Miss Meng’s attitude toward Qiao Xi. They then looked at the knife in Qiao Xi’s hand. They were very dissatisfied.

“The Meng family treated her as an honored guest, but she actually ruined ‘Time Flows’? How can there be such a person in this world?”

“I think Miss Meng is right. Let’s quickly call the police. The amount of money involved this time is huge. The police won’t ignore it.”

Madam Meng was deep in thought, as if she was considering the idea of calling the police.

Meng Wan laughed bitterly. “Forget it, Mom. Don’t call the police. If the police really come, won’t Qiao Xi’s life be ruined? Although she destroyed ‘Time Flows’, I can’t just watch her spend the rest of her life in prison.”

Madam Meng sighed. “Wan Wan, I know you’re kind, but Qiao Xi has caused too much trouble this time…”

“Mom!” Meng Wan cried out miserably. “I’m begging you, Mom. Qiao Xi must have done it in the heat of the moment. How can a dress compare to someone’s life? Let’s give Qiao Xi another chance. I really can’t bear to see her go to jail.”

Madam Meng shook her head helplessly. “Alright, I’ll listen to you. Let’s let Qiao Xi off this time, alright? But I don’t want to see her at the banquet anymore. Miss Qiao, please leave.”
