"Mm, fine. Going out happily only to run into this... so unlucky."
With a dissatisfied glance at the store clerk, "I didn’t expect Beichen Group to have employees like this, truly remarkable."
The two spoke loudly enough for everyone around to hear, especially the once-arrogant female clerk, whose face turned pale and then flushed with embarrassment.
She had only been working here for a little over three months, having just become a permanent staff member recently, and chose to work here specifically because it was part of Beichen Group.
If she worked here, perhaps she might even get a chance to meet Beichen Rui in person!
Thinking happily to herself, if she could expose these two people’s ugly sides in front of everyone, maybe she could get a promotion, or perhaps even work at Beichen Group’s headquarters.
Her face resumed its earlier arrogant expression, "You two stop dawdling here and hand over the stuff already."
The supervisor approached them, attempting to persuade gently, "Ladies, I believe you may have your reasons. If you just hand over the items now, we can be lenient. But if you insist on not handing them over, we’ll have to call the police.
After all, these items aren’t trivial in value—please don’t make things difficult for us."
Upon hearing this, Lan Shan sneered, realizing the person seemed amiable on the surface, but between the lines, they had already condemned them, assuming they must have taken something. Ridiculous!
"What evidence do you have that I took anything?"
Seeing her remain unmoved, the supervisor’s expression cooled, "Madam, if you continue to be obstinate, don’t blame us," then turned to the clerk, "Go get the manager to check the surveillance."
"Alrighty," she replied cheerfully and was about to leave when something came to mind. She turned back to Lan Shan and Ye Xinluo, mockingly saying, "Have some shame, would you?"
The two were infuriated... Who are these people, bullying relying on power. Just as they were about to argue, Ye Xinluo held her back.
"Shanshan, the best way to prove our innocence is to check the surveillance footage. We didn’t take anything, so we have nothing to fear. They’re the ones in the wrong."
Hearing this, Lan Shan nodded, agreeing with her logic, and calmly took her to sit at a spot in the store.
This scene, seen by the onlookers, only appeared to be stubbornness.
There were a few scoffs:
With a sigh, as if seeing through it all, someone remarked, "These young people nowadays... their skin is really thick. Even at this point, they’re still holding out."
"Yeah, they don’t even consider their own standing, this place belongs to Beichen Group. If the Beichen Family decides to pursue it, who knows how many lawsuits they’ll be dealing with."
At this, an incongruous voice arose from the crowd, "Are you kidding? With these two nobodies, does Beichen Family even need to get involved? Anyone could handle them easily."
Initially, only the store’s customers were discussing, but soon more shoppers gathered over, eager to understand the situation and casting disdainful gazes at the two.
They stayed in the store, unwilling to leave, wanting to see how these two would resolve the situation in the end.
Ye Xinluo and Lan Shan sat leisurely in their seats, ignoring the stares around them, brazenly debating what to eat for dinner.
