"What's happened? What's going on?" Meng Feifei ran ahead of the others. She saw Ye Wei'an standing in the center of the lounge, lips pursed as she looked at the violin case in front of her, her expression a mix of shock and heartache.
"My violin is damaged," she said.
Everybody followed her gaze.
They saw an open violin case in front of Ye Wei'an, with a violin inside, its strings broken.
"How could this happen?" Meng Feifei couldn't help but exclaim, moving forward she said, "I remember your violin is worth hundreds of thousands, right? Who would be so cruel as to intentionally damage your violin?"
The crowd exchanged puzzled looks.
"How can you be so sure that the strings were deliberately damaged? Ye Wei'an has yet to say anything," Zhou Huaiyu eyed Meng Feifei suspiciously.
As the villa's owner and organizer of this gathering, it was only reasonable for Zhou Huaiyu to help investigate the incident, especially as Ye Wei'an's violin was damaged on his property.
