Mommy, the wealthy daddy has come to propose again.

Chapter 720 I consider myself innocent and fearless

Who doesn't know what Mr. Gong likes? Who would break the white jade bottle for no reason?

When Bai Ning heard Gong Wanwan pointing out that it was her words in public, she was not only slightly stunned, but she could clearly feel that everyone's hot gazes were focused on her, as if they all thought that she was the one who broke the white jade bottle. Including Gong Qilin, his deep and turbid eyes were also staring at her closely.

"I didn't," Bai Ning believed that he had done nothing wrong and explained calmly, "It wasn't me. Yesterday, I went to the collection room to help clean the antiques on the orders of my grandfather. I cleaned each piece carefully and didn't bump into any of them. I said all of the above without any lies. If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance for evidence. I believe I am innocent and fearless."

Lan Qichen stepped forward to block Bai Ning, and said softly, "I believe it wasn't Bai Ning who did it. One of the pair of white jade bottles in Grandpa's collection room was bought at a high price at the Shenzhou auction. If he really wanted to break it, why wait until now?"

If Bai Ning really had that bad intention, she would not have given the white jade bottle to the old man. She could have taken it for herself and knocked it however she wanted. Even if it broke into pieces, no one would stop her. Why would she be looked at with strange eyes by a group of people?

Gong Qilin gently stroked the beard on his chin, narrowed his eyes, and thought carefully about the whole story. He did not doubt that Bai Ning did it. Even though he was being pointed at by thousands of people, he inexplicably believed that Bai Ning was innocent and that the murderer must be someone else.

"I believe Ningning's words. The white jade bottle was originally a gift from her to me. How could she break it? Theoretically, it doesn't make sense."

Gong Wanwan bit her lower lip lightly and winked at the servant, indicating that she should continue to fan the flames and make the old man suspect Bai Ning, otherwise all this plan would be in vain.

The servant received the signal and said weakly, "But...but only the eldest lady entered the collection room yesterday. Apart from her, no one else."

Bai Ning was speechless. Did the other party want to pour this basin of dirty water on his head?

There was no grudge between the two of them. In the six months since she came back home, they hadn't even spoken to each other. Why did they do that?

Telling a huge lie in front of so many people, when the day comes when it is exposed, it will be more than just a loss of face.

"I didn't mean to damage the white jade bottle. If that doesn't work, let's check the surveillance. I also want to see who the real culprit is. They're trying to frame me. It's interesting."

Bai Ning said calmly that she had indeed done nothing wrong. She said this without blushing or beating her heart, and she was calm and composed, with a sense of righteousness.

"Grandpa, I can't clear myself of suspicion just by speaking out of my mouth. I hope you can play back the surveillance video in front of everyone and clear my name!"

Gong Qilin felt that what Bai Ning said made sense. An elder like him, who was highly respected, should act impartially, not wrongly accusing a good person, nor letting a bad person go.

Gong Qilin said to the person beside him in a deep voice: "Do as Ningning said."

He would have to see solid evidence before he would believe the truth of the matter and would not tolerate such nonsense from such a mob.

As the head of the Gong family, Gong Qilin had heard some rumors from the outside world. Many people believed that Bai Ning had just been adopted home not long ago, and there were always people talking about her. It was impossible to stop the gossip, and all kinds of rumors would sometimes reach the old man's ears, most of which were detrimental to the reputation of his granddaughter.

But the maid who first reported the incident said, "Old sir, the surveillance camera in the collection room broke down two days ago... Recently everyone in the manor has been busy organizing the second young lady's birthday party, so they neglected to repair the surveillance camera."
