My 100-Day Secret Marriage With The Boss Chapter 104 - The Audience Was Shocked (I)

Chapter 104: The Audience Was Shocked (I)

Chu Wuyou did not stir even the slightest bit. She lifted her gaze slowly and deliberately without a word. She sized those two women up and down and then scrutinized the guards one by one carefully, taking her sweet time.

Her quiet gaze was detached and indifferent, causing those four guards to tremble slightly. They felt s.h.i.+vers down their spines as if the temperature in the room had dropped drastically.

The guards paused in their tracks. Not one among them dared to take another step forward.

The whole room was in pin-drop silence.

It sounded exaggerated to say that a woman’s extremely emotionless gaze was possible to hold the attention of every pair of eyes in the room.

Holding a gla.s.s in hand, a man was watching her from a quiet corner and hints of excitement flashed across his eyes.

“Please cooperate with our investigation.” One of the guards probed cautiously, his voice laced with respect.

Chu Wuyou averted her gaze slightly. Under the crowd’s dumbfounded gaze, she lifted the gla.s.s in front and played with it absentmindedly. That graceful, carefree carriage of hers made people gasp. She acted as if she was the only person present in the room.

The guards stayed rooted to the ground. All eyes were fixed on her but no one dared to speak up.

“Reason.” Several moments later, Chu Wuyou parted her lips slightly and a simple word escaped her mouth tenderly. Her overbearing manner filled the atmosphere.

“…”

The guard was at a loss for words. His request was justified but words were stuck in his throat at this moment due to reasons unknown even to himself.

Some people could make you feel suffocated by their charisma, and he thought this woman was one of them.

Would a woman like her steal?! He began to doubt that possibility.

Simultaneously, a haunted silence pervaded the whole private room.

Chu Wuyou had put on some make-up in the car before leaving the house. The minute she noticed Chu Ninger’s presence in the banquet, she knew without a doubt that the latter would definitely set her up. It would be near impossible to not attract widespread attention when that happened.

Her ident.i.ty would be revealed by then. If she did not appear like her usual self, it would only raise suspicion among the onlookers and eventually invite unnecessary troubles.

Therefore, she had put on her usual disguise not long ago. She did not make a drastic change earlier, making it simple to reapply her normal disguise.

Every set of eyes in the room were focused on Chu Wuyou. Eventually, someone in the crowd cried out in alarm at their discovery. “Isn’t that First Young Lady Chu?”

“You mean Miss Stupid from the Chu family?”

“I heard that she’s not stupid anymore after receiving the treatment.”

“Seems like it.”

Those people only whispered among themselves and their voices were not heard over the side of the room where Chu Wuyou was situated.

“We can question you for sure. You stole from someone else.” Sun Ru who dashed over earlier to question the wronged party was trembling with fear upon seeing Chu Wuyou’s expression, but she mustered her courage and shouted aloud nonetheless.

She had “evidence” after all. Why should she be intimidated?

“Evidence.” Chu Wuyou lifted her gaze and glanced at the other person nonchalantly. She appeared to be scornful of the other woman as if dealing with her was as simple as crus.h.i.+ng an ant. However, her calm and detached stare seemed to possess a power that could penetrate minds.

Sun Ru gulped back her fear as she felt her legs about to turn jelly, but she was soon overcome with delight at the mention of evidence. “Yuxin lost her necklace just minutes ago. You can’t possibly hide it somewhere far. Let Yuxin search through your purse and we’ll know the truth.”
