Novel Full Chapter 128 - Little Black Dress (2)
"Mama, please take a seat and calm down." Su Xiaofei stood up and held her mother's hand, while Lu Qingfeng stood up from his seat, allowing Yun Qingrong to sit down first.
"Then why are you here with Xiao Feng then?" Yun Qingrong asked. "Why do you require our lawyer's assistance?" She then looked at Si Yixian, instantly recognizing him.
"Ah, I didn't know Mr. Si is here as well." She then looked back at her daughter. "What's going on, Feifei?" She asked in confusion.
"It's like this, Mama…" Su Xiaofei looked at Si Yixian and made sure his attention was on her and her mother. "Chen Li was caught by these officers last night and she claimed that the counterfeit dress she was wearing was given to her by me."
Yun Qingrong furrowed her brows .
"How can that be? Since we caught her stealing your clothes, I made sure that she wouldn't be able to take anything more aside from the things that she already took from you."
"President Yun, she's your daughter?" Si Yixian's expression changed. He didn't know that the young woman accused of giving the counterfeit dress was the daughter of the owner of Bluemedia, whom he collaborated with recently.
"Yes, she's my daughter. It's impossible for Feifei to do what Chen Li accused her of!" Yun Qingrong realized her mistake. "I'm sorry, Mr. Si, I shouldn't have raised my voice at you."
"It's alright, President Yun. I understand."
Now that they knew that Su Xiaofei was President Yun's daughter, Si Yixian and the inspector were naturally more inclined to believe Su Xiaofei rather than Chen Li.
How could the rich daughter of Bluemedia possess a counterfeit good that ended up in Chen Li's possession? There was no need for Su Xiaofei to buy any counterfeit products when she and her mother could buy the authentic ones without batting an eyelid.
The same couldn't be said for a young woman like Chen Li, who wanted to boast about what she had to become famous within her circle of friends. She coveted Su Xiaofei's things and now that her stealing had come into the limelight, she held grudges towards Su Xiaofei and wanted to cause trouble by accusing her.
"Inspector, is it possible for us to see the counterfeit dress that Chen Li was wearing last night?" Lu Qingfeng asked the inspector.
"Yes, please. We want to confirm whether it is counterfeit or not." Si Yixian agreed with Lu Qingfeng's request. It was the only reason they came here anyway.
Chen Li, who was now dressed in a different set of clothes, came in with another officer who was holding a box containing the little black dress that Chen Li was wearing the night before.
Si Yixian and his assistant were the first ones to inspect the dress and confirmed that it wasn't an authentic one.
"The material used is different from what we used and although the style is almost the exact copy of what we have in the collection, the stitches and the details aren't the same." Si Yixian's assistant confirmed, while the man himself remained silent and could only sigh.
"No! It really came from Su Xiaofei! I didn't buy it! It came from her! It definitely came from her!" Chen Li started to cry hysterically, once they confirmed that the dress she was wearing last night while partying wasn't an authentic one.
"Where's my mother? Where's my mom?! She knows it came from her. There's no way I won't have it if I didn't get it from her?" She continued to cry.
"You got it from me?" Su Xiaofei looked at the black dress on top of the inspector's table. "How is it possible? I have a dress like this, but I'm pretty sure it's still at home."
This made everyone look at her in surprise.
"Is that so?" The inspector leaned on his seat. "Then, would you be able to bring it here to confirm?"
"Yes. I can call our housekeeper and have her bring the very dress I'm speaking of. I remember that Mama has only given me one little black dress from Butterfly Chrysalis. I haven't even worn it yet, so it should still be in its original packaging."
"What do you think, sir? Should we allow them to bring it here?" One of the younger police officers asked the inspector.
The older man furrowed his brows together and looked at Su Xiaofei, who looked calm and collected, then to Chen Li, who looked disheveled and was in panic.
"What do you think, Mr. Si? Since Miss Su is claiming that she has the authentic one, should we compare the one she has with the one in here?"
"I don't mind." Si Yixian said, but he already concluded that it wasn't logical for Su Xiaofei to buy a counterfeit one if she already had the authentic dress.
"Fine. Miss Su, please ask your housekeeper to bring the dress here so we can quickly clear this up." The inspector gave Su Xiaofei a go signal to call Aunty Liu.
"Thanks, Inspector. I'll call Aunty Liu right away then."
Chen Li continued to cry and wondered what they were talking about. The dress she had worn last night was the exact one that she took from Su Xiaofei's wardrobe the night before she and her family left the Yun mansion, so how was it possible that she was wearing the fake one while Su Xiaofei still possessed the very same dress?
"Su Xiaofei! You set me up! You set me up! You knew that I've been stealing your clothes for a long time and wanted to teach me a lesson!" She accused Su Xiaofei in front of everyone.
"Enough! Do you think this a market where you can simply raise your voice and disrespect us? Is this the kind of upbringing people have nowadays?" The inspector glared at her. "You ungrateful child! Miss Su was kind enough to let you go at the first offense, but you're still creating trouble for them?"
