“No, I’ve never had a bottle like that in my bag.”

“Wang Meng put it in, right? Why did you do that, Wang Meng? What’s in the bottle?” Lu Xue asked.

This voice attracted Jian Yan’s attention.

She stared at the medicine bottle that Jian Wan had pointed out. She remembered Fu Yuan’s lustful look in the room and how Jian Wan had taken the initiative to stop her from leaving. She immediately guessed the truth.

“Don’t worry. When the police arrive, send the medicine in the bottle to be tested and give this bottle a fingerprint test. Then, we can find out who it belongs to.”

Jian Yan sneered.

Jian Wan’s heart skipped a beat.

She had wiped it clean when Lin Zhi handed her the bottle of medicine. However, she had not worn any gloves when she stuffed the bottle into her bag.

She had not worn any gloves with her dress at the banquet. If she had specially put it on at the door, it would have been terribly suspicious.

While stuffing the medicine bottle into her friend’s bag earlier, her hand had come into contact with the bottle many times. If they were to conduct a fingerprint test on it, they would not be able to detect Lu Xue’s fingerprint since she had never touched the bottle before…

‘What should I do now?’

Jian Wan’s mind was in a mess. She regretted pointing out the bottle.

But someone had a bigger reaction than her.

Wang Meng was speechless. “Why do we need to do a fingerprint test?!”

“I just helped to look for the sunscreen and found this bottle. There must be my fingerprints on it, but this really isn’t mine. It must be Lu Xue’s. She refused to admit it, so the medicine in the bottle must have some special effects.”

“Nonsense! It’s not mine!”

“Wang Meng, you b*tch! Not only did you not help me call my brother, but you even stuffed something into my bag to harm me!”

Lu Xue struggled to get up and call her brother. However, Jian Yan did not give in. She continued to step on the other’s hair with one foot and kicked her chest with the other.

“You don’t have to be in such a hurry. Let’s wait for the police to find out what it is.”

Jian Yan smiled and said, “Oh right, since you said that this is not yours, then don’t touch it. Something that you’ve never been touched will not have your fingerprints.”

This was a reminder that Lu Xue clearly didn’t understand, but because of Jian Yan’s foot, she didn’t dare to move. She could only cry and curse at the other woman in her heart.

However, Jian Wan understood what her sister meant. She looked stiff as she held the medicine bottle.

“Sister, no matter whose bottle it is, it shouldn’t be anything important. There’s no need to pursue the matter.”

She blinked and said with a trembling voice, “It’s better not to let the police come. Even if President Fu doesn’t mind, the Lu family will.”

“Lu Xue’s brother, Lu Ting, is a friend of your good friend, Zhang Yue. I don’t know if you’ve been in contact with her for the past few years, but I remember that you guys were quite close in the past. Why don’t you give Zhang Yue some face and tell the police not to come.”

Jian Wan wasn’t prepared for the matter to blow up.

It was enough to leave a shadow in everyone’s hearts so that she could drop a hint to Fu Yuan in the future. There was no need to make it public and dirty her name as well.

Lu Xue thought Jian Wan was doing this for her and felt touched.

At the same time, she hated Zhang Yue in her heart.

‘No wonder she always spoke up for Jian Yan. She’s Jian Yan’s old friend. Hmph, she likes my brother. As long as I don’t agree, you can forget about ever stepping into the Lu family!’

Jian Yan smirked as she saw Jian Wan’s guilty expression and said casually, “If Yueyue knew about this, she would definitely support me to call the police.”

She understood Zhang Yue.If the latter knew that she almost lost her life because of Lu Xue, she would treat Lu Xue even more ruthlessly than she did. She might even use illegal means to take revenge.

She would never ignore this matter just because she liked Lu Xue’s brother.

Jian Wan didn’t give up. She continued to persuade her sister. Her voice was soft and weak, and her grip on the bottle in her hand tightened.

“You should think about her. You’ll put her in a difficult position. She really likes Lu Ting. Lu Ting’s also the male lead of this new movie. They just changed their female lead, and a lot of investments have been wasted. If the male lead stops acting, there will be a reshoot. As her good friend, you should let Xiaoxue off this time.”

Jian Wan was stunned. Before she could say anything, Fu Li spoke.

“Yanyan, the Fu Corporation invested in this movie. The Fu Corporation will continue to invest in the movie and choose a more suitable male lead.”

Jian Yan said, “There’s no need for you to invest. I can do it. I don’t lack money. It’s just that I was overseas before so it wasn’t convenient to invest in Yueyue. It would be great if I could invest this time. Besides, changing the male lead is a good thing for me.”

Jian Wan was dumbfounded. She looked at Wang Meng and signaled her to call Lu Xue’s brother.

However, Wang Meng wasn’t looking at her. Instead, she was watching Jian Yan and Fu Li with jealousy..
