Chapter 467: Chapter 467: Slander
On the side, Ye Xinluo furrowed her brows, "You’re saying we’ve been dishonest? Then show us the evidence, and what gives you the right to say that?"
"What right? Just because an earring went missing earlier, you two were the last to touch the earrings. Are we wronging you?"
Their voices weren’t low, and quite a few customers gathered around. At this moment, another store clerk came over, "What’s happening here?"
"Supervisor, something’s missing from our store, and these two were the last ones to touch it."
The supervisor furrowed her brows, "What’s missing?"
"It’s the pair of earrings from that counter over there. When I was about to put them away, I found one missing."
Upon hearing this, the supervisor’s expression turned stern as she looked at the two, "Ladies, we don’t want to make a scene either. I advise you both to hand over the item."
Only then did the surrounding customers realize what was happening, and their gazes towards the two were filled with disdain.
"Never expected, such pretty girls would do something like this. By their looks, they don’t seem to need money."
Another customer chimed in: "You can’t judge people by appearances. Who knows what kind of wickedness lies beneath their skin? Don’t be fooled by their looks."
"Exactly, one can’t know a person’s heart just by their face. What if they’re just pretending to be well-off while their behavior is disgraceful."
Listening to the discussions around them, the two furrowed their brows deeply... not quite sure what exactly had happened.
Of course, Ye Xinluo would never suspect Shanshan of taking their stuff... despite her currently working at Beichen Group.
But her uncle and aunt dote on her, and they usually give her plenty of pocket money... it’s possible she has enough in her accounts to buy ten of these stores and more... so why do such a thing?
Moreover, she even has a diamond black card; there’s absolutely no need to take anything secretly.
"I say, you two, stop keeping silent, won’t you? Did you take it or not, just say it!"
"Yeah, yeah, you’re so silent, could it be you really took it! Here’s a suggestion, if you did take it, hand it over quickly, so no one’s put in a tough spot."
"I really don’t know what kind of parents could raise such disgusting children. If I had a daughter like that, I’d have strangled her at birth."
Listening to the endless chatter around, watching their insinuations, Lan Shan’s patience was wearing thin bit by bit.
Knowing she was about to lose her temper, Ye Xinluo furrowed her brows and addressed the crowd, "You say we took something from the store, may I ask, what’s your evidence? Without evidence, it’s slander; I can file a complaint against you."
The store clerk from earlier heard this and stepped out from the crowd, approaching Ye Xinluo with an arrogant tone, "Evidence?? An earring is missing, you were the last to touch it, if you didn’t take it, who else could it be? You really have no shame, doing such sneaky things..."
Her face showed a hint of disdain, as if avoiding Ye Xinluo like the plague, she reached out and pushed her away.
Caught off guard, Ye Xinluo’s body fell backward uncontrollably. Luckily, Lan Shan caught her in time, preventing her from falling.
"Xinluo, are you okay?"
"I’m fine." Ye Xinluo shook her head, finding this store clerk incomprehensible, losing interest in arguing further, "I originally thought we could have a nice shopping trip, but didn’t expect to encounter this, utterly disappointing, Shanshan, let’s go, let’s head back, not worth talking to this kind of person."
