Chapter 867: Chapter 867 Who Are You Calling Unreasonable?

Everyone was infuriated by Cheng Xining’s words, especially the clerk, "How can you do the wrong thing and still be so self-righteous?"

"I kindly helped to pick up clothes, what did I do wrong?" Cheng Xining glared at the clerk in retort; she had agreed to come and clarify things, but she hadn’t agreed to be mistreated.

"Why are you being so unreasonable?"

The clerk was somewhat speechless. She looked pretty and seemed wealthy, but was unexpectedly unreasonable.

"Who are you calling unreasonable?" Cheng Xining took a step closer to the clerk, appearing as if she wanted to hit someone.

Upon seeing this, Ruan Yiqian immediately pulled her back and scolded, "Xining, do you listen at all? If you don’t listen, I’m leaving right now."

"Brother Yiqian, I agreed to come and apologize, but look at them, they are clearly bullying me." Cheng Xining said grievously.

The commotion in the shop drew quite a few bystanders, even the proprietress from the store across the street who had come to watch the excitement; she recognized at a glance that Cheng Xining was the person who had bought clothes in her store yesterday.

Thinking that the girl seemed wealthy and that if she could help out, she might gain a long-term customer, she intervened and asked, "What’s going on here?"

Having just arrived, and not knowing what had been said earlier, she said to the clerk, "Young lady, you must be polite when selling clothes. You can’t treat customers like this just because it’s not your own shop. Otherwise, I’ll tell your boss."

The girl who brought people here spent three thousand yuan yesterday, and almost the entire mall knows about it; she was so regretful. If only she had known, she wouldn’t have been so rude at the time.

Not to mention, the customer might shop in the store at some point in the future. Spending three thousand yuan shows she’s from a well-off family, and it’s unlikely she’d steal clothes worth a few tens of yuan. There must be some misunderstanding here.

Unfortunately, at the time, her mind was muddled, and she couldn’t afford to make another blunder now.

Upon hearing this, the clerk took the opportunity to exonerate Shen Mianmian, explaining, "Ma’am, you don’t know what happened. The girl who was mistakenly accused of stealing clothes in the store yesterday, it was all her doing... The customer was trying on clothes in the fitting room, and she came in and stuffed our store’s clothes into someone else’s bag, causing us to misunderstand that lady."

Who would believe that clothes just fell on the floor?

The lady already said they knew each other; this girl here was deliberately framing her.

Today’s visit must also be because someone is standing up for that lady.

"..." The proprietress from the store across was shocked, "There’s such a thing?"

"That’s right, she just admitted it herself," the clerk said.

"I said I kindly picked up the clothes, not knowing they weren’t hers," Cheng Xining defended herself.

"What do you mean a kind act of picking up clothes?" The proprietress’s face changed, her attitude becoming completely different from before, "If you picked up the clothes, why didn’t you give them to the owner? Why did you put them in someone else’s bag?"

Yesterday, that person came to her store to buy clothes and was driven away; if it weren’t for this woman, perhaps that three thousand yuan would’ve been spent in her store.

Just thinking of that possibility made the proprietress furious, wishing she could go up and slap Cheng Xining twice.

"Where I decide to put them is none of your business. It’s not your store, why are you sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong?" These people are really nosy. Do they know who she is? Standing up for Shen Mianmian here could get them into trouble with her, to the point their shops couldn’t stay open.
