283 Lady Boss~
When Chu Cichen heard this, his gaze instantly became sharp.
He subconsciously stood up and was just about to walk out when he looked coldly in the direction of the surveillance camera recordings. He then looked at the fat manager. “Go and handle it.”
The fat manager was frightened by his tone and immediately nodded. “Yes!”
He immediately headed out.
He had just taken two steps when Chu Cichen’s cold voice rang out from behind him. “Are you a tortoise? You’re being so slow. Are you planning to crawl there?”
The fat manager. “??”
This was already his fastest walking speed!
Moreover, it was just a matter of two women quarreling. Those who didn’t know any better would think that it was a life or death matter!!
However, he was scared so he started jogging over!
In the shop.
When the bodyguards brought by Third Madam Bai heard her words, they walked over in Shen Ruojing’s direction.
The shop assistants didn’t dare to stop her.
It was because the Bai Family wasn’t an existence that ordinary people could offend.
On the other hand, Madam Yun and Yun Wei stood in front of Shen Ruojing. Madam Yun glared at Third Madam Bai. “Third Madam, we’ll be considered relatives in the future. Do you have to make things look so bad?”
Third Madam Bai said arrogantly, “This earring was passed down to me by my mother. It’s very precious. I’m sure that Madam Yun wouldn’t want this young lady to be called a thief either, right? Searching her can also prove her innocence. It’d be good for both me and you!”
She carried a high and mighty attitude, as if Shen Ruojing was a random cat or dog.
Madam Yun was enraged. “No! You’re invading another person’s privacy!”
“It seems like she’s definitely the thief then. Otherwise, why doesn’t she dare to be searched? Heh, there’s no way she can leave after stealing something from me!”
Third Madam Bai pointed at her bodyguards furiously and said, “Search her!”
Both Madam Yun and Yun Wei were extremely infuriated.
Shen Ruojing had never met such an unreasonable person in her life either. So, she pushed away Yun Wei and Madam Yun, who were both trying to protect her by standing in front of her. Just as Shen Ruojing rolled up her sleeves and was about to teach these people who didn’t know any better a lesson, a fat man dressed in a suit suddenly entered.
“Oh my, what happened here? Why is a fight starting here?”
The fat manager finally arrived. However, for some reason, his forehead was covered in sweat, looking like he had run over here.
Shen Ruojing contemplated and eventually didn’t make a move.
Chu Cichen was negotiating for a cooperation with this fatty, so she shouldn’t mess things up for him.
Although both she and Chu Cichen understood that they weren’t at a stage where their relationship was confirmed, outsiders might not think the same.
Third Madam Bai frowned and raised her chin, waiting for the manager to appease her anger.
However, unexpectedly, the manager first walked up to Shen Ruojing. “Miss Shen, don’t be angry, calm down. We can talk things out.”
Third Madam Bai. “?”
She was angry. “Manager Zhang, are you blind? She stole my earring! Get her to take it out right this instant! Otherwise, don’t blame me for not holding back!”
Shen Ruojing had always been the type of person who’d take action over talking whenever possible.
But since she had decided not to blow up the matter, she could only take a step back.
She walked up and took out her phone from her pocket. She then flipped her pocket out, showing the inner lining. After that, she stretched her hands out and turned around, showing everyone. “Do you see it? There’s nothing.”
She was always one to dress simply. She was wearing a white T-shirt without any pockets and had already flipped out the pockets of her denim jeans. People with a discerning eye could notice that she didn’t have any earrings on her.
However, Wen Yuyi let out a cold sneer. “It’s an earring. It’s possible to be hidden in one’s hair or underwear…”
Third Madam Bai immediately said, “Then strip off all her clothes and search carefully!”
Strip off all her clothes?
That was too humiliating.
Although Shen Ruojing was willing to take a step back, she had her limits.
She tidied her clothes and looked up coldly. She was just about to say something when the fat manager grinned and spoke up, “Third Madam, that would be going too far. We have surveillance cameras here. Won’t things be clear if we get the recordings?”
Hearing this, both Yun Wei and Madam Yun heaved a sigh of relief.
Even Shen Ruojing felt that this mall wasn’t one that would judge people and had a proper way of handling things.
Third Madam Bai narrowed her eyes.
Her gaze was sharp as she looked at the fat manager with a sense of oppression. She said slowly, “I heard that the surveillance cameras in your mall sometimes don’t work. The surveillance cameras in this shop just so happen to be broken, so probably nothing was captured.”
If someone like her wanted to bully others, those who knew her identity would cooperate. At the very least, they wouldn’t cause too much trouble.
Shen Ruojing also understood this principle. She immediately took her phone and was about to hack into the mall’s surveillance system to save the surveillance footage and call the police to deal with it when she heard the fat manager say with a smile, “Don’t worry. There are surveillance cameras everywhere in such a high-end mall like ours. Other than the changing room and the washroom, there are no blind spots. Moreover, they’re all high-definition cameras. I guarantee that everything has been recorded very clearly.”
Shen Ruojing. “??”
She looked at the fat manager and pursed her lips.
This world always followed survival of the fittest. Justice and fairness did not really exist.
However, she didn’t expect the fat manager to be able to go this far.
Third Madam Bai clearly didn’t expect this either. She was stunned for a moment before suddenly reprimanding, “Do you know who you’re talking to?!”
The fat manager smiled at her. “Third Madam Bai, you have a dignified status, so I naturally know who you are.”
“Why do you still insist on doing this even though you know?”
“We’re just being impartial.”
Third Madam Bai choked. She knew that today’s matter would end up coming to nothing. Her earring was under her feet, and she was just trying to find an excuse to humiliate the other party.
She was furious and in disbelief. “You’re going against me for such a lowly person? Do you know the consequences of offending me?! I’m not just the Third Madam of the Bai Family!”
Her maiden home was from the Rong Family!
The Rong Family was also one of the four great families in the capital!
The four great families would always stand together. If one of them was offended, it meant that the offender had offended all four families!
The fat manager was still smiling. “How would we dare to offend you? Third Madam, you’re being too serious. We’re just doing things according to the rules.”
“…”
Third Madam Bai felt really angry, as if she had punched fiercely into cotton. She decided to just shout at Shen Ruojing and the other two. “Alright then, let’s play. I’ll book the entire store regardless of which store you guys are heading to!”
After saying that, she took out a top VIP card and said to the fat manager, “I’m abiding by the mall’s rules now. This is fine now, right?”
Yun Wei and Madam Yun’s expressions sank.
Third Madam Bai clearly wanted to go against them.
It seemed that they wouldn’t be able to buy any clothes today.
At this moment, both of them experienced the complicated and dark side of the capital.
Yun Wei clenched her fists tightly, saying angrily, “We won’t shop anymore today!”
Only then did Third Madam Bai sneer and say, “Take this as a lesson from me, your third aunt. In the capital, having money is useless. Having power is the most important thing!”
She raised her chin arrogantly, looking like she could crush this bunch of insignificant ants easily with the move of a finger. She didn’t care about them at all.
Shen Ruojing looked at her.
She took a deep breath. This was also one of the reasons why she had decided to live her retired life in Sea City. There were countless influential families connected by marriage in the capital and it was really troublesome.
She saw the worry in Madam Yun’s eyes and understood what Madam Yun was thinking.
The Yun Family had thought that it’d be enough to give ample dowry to Yun Wei. But it seemed that Yun Wei wouldn’t be able to have an easy life in the future.
She followed Yun Wei to turn around. However, just as they were about to leave, the fat manager suddenly said, “Third Madam Bai, I’m afraid that you won’t be able to book the entire place today.”
Everyone in the group was stunned.
Third Madam Bai got even angrier. “What? Could it be that your mall is planning to protect the three of them? Is my high-level VIP membership not going to be of any use?”
“Of course not.”
The fat manager was still smiling. “It’s just that they have higher rights.”
Third Madam Bai was stunned. “What higher rights?”
Then, she flew into a rage. “Am I not the highest-level VIP?”
Shen Ruojing also frowned. Then, she heard the fat manager say, “You’re at the highest VIP level, but our lady boss is inspecting her family’s business and buying some things. Naturally, we’ll have to clear the place.”
Third Madam Bai. “?”
Yun Wei and Madam Yun were also stunned.
Lady boss? Who was the lady boss??
