Li Shengnan quickly took out the clothes and explained, "Look at what's on it. Those who understand will understand. It wasn't there before, but it's here today."
"Pah, do you think I'm short of money? If it were me, I would buy all of them as compensation to you without saying anything, but I didn't do it. If you blame me for this, I won't admit it."
Bai Qianrou deliberately rolled up her sleeves so that everyone could see the watch on her wrist clearly, and the credibility of her words immediately increased.
"The latest model of Seagull watch this little girl is wearing costs four or five hundred yuan. People who can afford it care about this little money?"
"Why is this store always causing trouble? I forgot about what happened to Sister Xiong last time. This store was at fault first. I heard that she almost didn't pay me!"
"Now that you mention it, I remember it. It was so lively at that time. All the neighbors came over to watch the fun."
“…”
Listening to the one-sided discussion around her, Li Shengnan looked very unhappy. She had finally managed to restore the store's reputation during this period of time, and she couldn't let it be ruined by her. What if her master got angry and didn't take her to participate in the competition?
"The public has sharp eyes. Thank you for trusting me." Bai Qianrou thanked them one by one and turned to Li Shengnan and said, "I have worn the clothes before. How do you know that others haven't? Maybe you have worn them secretly."
Li Shengnan glared at Xu Xiaoling, "Is it you?"
"Senior Sister, what are you talking about?" Xu Xiaoling couldn't believe it.
Li Shengnan looked at Xu Xiaoling disappointedly, "You did something wrong, how can you blame it on the customer? You should have worn some clothes today."
Xu Xiaoling couldn't believe the person who was just questioning her, so she turned around and stabbed herself with the spear.
Li Shengnan actually doubted me, even though she knew exactly where I was throughout the day and when I came...
"Senior sister, you asked me to try them on to see the effect, and I have only worn two pieces."
Li Shengnan didn't listen, turned around and faced everyone, her voice raised a few degrees, "We have found the person, everyone can go home."
The crowd dispersed.
"Bad luck!" Bai Qianrou spat and left.
Back at the store, Xu Xiaoling asked, "Sister, why did you say that just now? It was obviously not me who did it."
"Junior sister, your family is rich and can afford to pay for this."
Xu Xiaoling felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave and looked at Li Shengnan in disbelief.
Does this mean that no matter what the truth is, she will take the blame? But it was clearly not her fault, and her senior sister let the culprit go, but in the end she let herself take the blame. How can this make sense?
Li Shengnan's eyes flashed with guilt, and she tried to comfort Xu Xiaoling in a gentle voice, "I know you're not feeling well, but the loss caused by this incident is too great. If we can't make up for this loss, Master will be angry, and then we'll be in big trouble. In fact, I'm afraid that if she gets angry, she won't take me to the competition."
"Xiaoling, please be kind and help me." Li Shengnan said in a pleading tone.
Xu Xiaoling didn't want to hear a word, so she grabbed Li Shengnan and asked, "You said Master wants you to participate in the competition, what about me?"
Li Shengnan glanced at her with disdain. "You can't even hold a needle and thread, what are you doing over there?"
Xu Xiaoling felt her whole body enveloped by coldness. It was not that she couldn't hold it steady, but she had never had the chance to touch it.
I became an apprentice and learned how to make clothes. The funny thing is that I didn't learn anything after only touching needle and thread a few times. Instead, I learned how to please customers and bargain.
Her senior sister had joined the company a few days earlier than her, but she was already making clothes, while she was servile in the store all day long.
Suddenly, Xu Xiaoling seemed to be awakened by someone. The fog in front of her eyes dissipated and her consciousness had never been so clear.
Seeing Xu Xiaoling's silence, Li Shengnan subconsciously thought that she agreed and breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Shengnan patted Xu Xiaoling on the shoulder and said, "I will follow Master to the army tomorrow. You should take care of the store after I leave. Master will probably be calm when we come back, and won't blame you for too long."
Xu Xiaoling didn't say anything, but she was the only one who knew that there was a string in her head that was stretched tight and ready to explode at any moment.
After Fang Qiuwen came back, Li Shengnan immediately took out the prepared lines and put the blame on Xu Xiaoling.
"Master, Xiaoling didn't do it on purpose. She will compensate for all of this. It's also my fault that I didn't take good care of her, which led to such a big mistake. Master, if you want to blame someone, blame me. Don't blame Xiaoling. She didn't mean it."
