Oh my god! My secret husband is a billionaire

Chapter 153 Mrs. Chen's Necklace

Sister Ling wanted to reach out for the exquisite jewelry box next to the dressing table, but was stopped by Jiang Li.

"No need. It's too expensive for me to borrow. The banquet is about to begin, so I'll go down first."

Jiang Li felt that the maid seemed too enthusiastic, so he was more cautious and told Chen Xu about her abnormal behavior.

"Brother Xu, there seems to be something wrong with your sister Ling. You should pay more attention to her on a daily basis."

"Okay. I'll send someone to keep an eye on her!"

Chen Xu looked at Jiang Li with a gentle smile. The love that he had suppressed for so long quietly sprouted from the bottom of his heart.

When Qin Ming, posing as her husband, began to pursue Jiang Li passionately, he gave up. He felt that no matter how hard he tried, he would never be able to compete with her official position.

As expected, that guy ruined a good hand of cards, forcing his wife to divorce him. No wonder others tried to steal his wife.

"I've invited several prominent lawyers to come here today. Come, I'll introduce you to them."

Chen Xu naturally reached out to her, and the meaning was self-evident.

Jiang Li pretended to joke. "We're so familiar with each other, there's no need to shake hands and say thank you, right?"

Chen Xu silently clenched his outstretched hand into a fist, clasping it behind his back, and jokingly said, "How about we go on a formal date once you're single again?"

"We'll talk about it then."

Even if they really divorced, Jiang Li had no intention of starting a new relationship for the time being. However, Chen Xu was indeed a good backup candidate.

He has good looks, a good family background, a good personality, and is very sincere. It seems that there is no reason to refuse him.

Although they were not allowed to hold hands, Chen Xu took the initiative to approach her. They walked side by side, their shoulders almost touching.

"Ali, after the dinner, can you sign an autograph for me? I'm your most sincere and true fan."

"Here. I'll sign it for you now."

Since becoming famous, Jiang Li has been carrying a signature pen with him everywhere in case of emergency.

Chen Xu blushed slightly and said softly, "It's not convenient now."

Jiang Li didn't understand. "What's so inconvenient about signing? It only takes three seconds."

Chen Xu leaned close to her ear, his voice low and seductive. "I want you to sign my heart."

"Get out!" Jiang Li squeezed out from the corner and walked towards the crowded place with a red face.

Many people rushed over to ask for her autograph when they saw her. "Wow, that looks like the Overlord Beauty Jiang Daxia, am I seeing things right?"

"That's right, it's Hero Jiang. I finally saw him alive. He's so beautiful in person. No wonder Mr. Qin refused to divorce me."

"Why don't we go up and say hello?"

"..."

Those who could attend the Chen Mansion's family banquet were all well-known celebrities or successful people from all walks of life. Their understanding of celebrities was limited to actors or vases, and they were not as crazy as ordinary, mindless fans.

"She's just a new rising star, what's so strange about her?"

"She's not just an ordinary traffic star. She's the young mistress of the Qin Group."

Thinking of this identity, many people came forward to greet Jiang Li, and Jiang Li responded with a polite smile.

Seeing that Jiang Li was stuck in the crowd and couldn't get away, Chen Xu took the opportunity to push through the crowd, took her hand and walked towards the front hall.

"What's going on? Hero Jiang hasn't even divorced yet, but he's already found a new partner?"

"Young Master Chen's status is on par with that of President Qin. What kind of rotten luck does Hero Jiang have? She has all the peach blossoms from the wealthy family to herself."

……

Many jealous young ladies looked at Jiang Li with eyes filled with hatred.

In today's occasion, which of the girls present here is not here for the eldest young master of the Chen family?

Who can be willing to watch the biggest fish being caught by someone else?

Many people started to go to Mrs. Chen and spread rumors, making Jiang Li look useless.

Mrs. Chen had a gloomy face and rushed to Jiang Li in a rage, and started to mock him.

"Mrs. Qin, as a married woman, please stay away from our Ah Xu. Otherwise, my future daughter-in-law will misunderstand you."

Before Jiang Li could say anything, Chen Xu jumped out anxiously to defend her. "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Don't meddle in the affairs between me and A-Li."

Mrs. Chen glared at Jiang Li fiercely and sneered. "I don't mind you marrying a virgin, but at least you have to find someone with good character. I will never let a woman with such impure intentions and dirty hands enter the Chen family."

"Mom, you're crazy. What on earth did A-Li do to you? Which gossips have you listened to and are you talking nonsense? If you can't speak, just shut up. No one thinks you're dumb!"

Chen Xu's words did not give her mother any face at all.

Mrs. Chen's resentment grew even stronger after being scolded by her son. "I believed the slander. I think you're blind. Why don't you open your eyes and see what good this vixen has done?"

Chen Xu's face was even more furious than Mrs. Chen's, and he questioned her coldly, "What on earth did Ah Li do to make you so mad?"

Mrs. Chen didn't say it clearly, but glanced at Sister Ling and motioned her to explain.

"Master, it's like this. Just now, when my wife went to the bedroom to get her jewelry, she discovered that the most precious dolphin diamond necklace that Mr. Chen gave her was missing."

"And today, the only person who went into Madam's room was Miss Jiang, and Madam was wearing that necklace yesterday."

Hearing this, Jiang Li finally understood. It turned out that the pit he had dug was waiting for him.

But she still didn't speak, waiting for Mrs. Chen to speak.

"Miss Jiang, do you have anything to explain?"

Before Jiang Li could speak, the Chen siblings vouched for her in unison. "Ah Li couldn't possibly have taken the necklace. She's not that kind of person."

"Mom, go back and look for it. You must have put it somewhere else."

"Oh! Sister Ling and I turned the bedroom upside down, but we couldn't find any trace of that necklace. Over 80 million worth of diamonds, could it possibly grow wings and fly away?"

Mrs. Chen was condemning Jiang Li implicitly in her words, and she almost pointed at her nose and called her a shameless thief.

"Mom, stop being so superstitious. Even if you suspect everyone, you can't doubt Ali. She would never steal your necklace. I can guarantee her character with my life."

When her mother and best friend were arguing with each other, Chen Xi chose to protect her best friend without hesitation.

Mrs. Chen beat her chest and stamped her feet again.

"Why did I give birth to two of you fools, both of you bewitched by this vixen?"

"Sister Ling said she was the only one who entered my bedroom today. If she didn't take the necklace, who else could it be?"

Facing Mrs. Chen's exasperation, Jiang Li suddenly said something.

"Besides me, this servant named Sister Ling was also in your bedroom today. And you, Mrs. Chen. As for who took the necklace, let's wait until the police arrive to find out!"
