Chapter 624: From now on, treat me with respect
Qiao Xi refused to give in.
Her voice was cold and clear: "What I mean is that Mrs. Pei and Li Qian each have their own opinions, and it's hard to tell who is at fault. So why don't you go to the police station and explain it clearly, instead of Mrs. Pei insisting that Li Qian is the thief."
"laugh."
Mrs. Pei laughed sarcastically. "You mean I have to wrongly accuse a little beautician? What's my intention?"
"Then what does Li Qian want? Mrs. Pei, let me ask you again, are you still convinced that it was Li Qian who stole your necklace?"
"Of course! If not her, who else could it be? She and your beauty salon are both responsible!"
"Okay! Then let me ask Li Qian a question."
Qiao Xi stood there with a firm voice, not affected by Mrs. Pei's emotions at all.
"Li Qian, have you ever touched this necklace? Don't rush to answer. Think carefully about this question."
"No! Madam, I really didn't touch it. I don't know why this necklace ended up in my pocket! I didn't dare to move it because your bodyguard said it would destroy the evidence. Please believe me, I really didn't lie!"
Li Qian burst into tears, her voice choked with sobs.
It looks very pitiful.
"Okay, I'm done." Qiao Xi turned to look at Mrs. Pei and said, "You can call the police now! Li Qian said she didn't touch the necklace, but Mrs. Pei said she stole it. A necklace like that would definitely leave fingerprints. Once we extract the fingerprints, the truth will be revealed! We'll know who's lying once we test it!"
fingerprint?
Mrs. Pei's ears were buzzing.
"You really didn't touch the necklace?" Her voice was so sharp that it almost hurt her eardrums.
Li Qian cried and said, "I really didn't. It was only when the bodyguard found me that I realized the necklace was in my pocket. He also told me not to touch it, so I was even more afraid to move!"
how so!
Mrs. Pei did overlook the fingerprint issue before taking action.
But if a normal person finds that there is something extra in his pocket, wouldn’t he take it out and take a look?
This bodyguard is Qiao Xi's man. Did she guess her plan a long time ago?
Mrs. Pei suddenly looked at Qiao Xi and found that her expression did not change as she stood there, as if everything was under her control.
She swallowed slowly, steadied her voice, and said, "Since it's a misunderstanding, I believe your story. Return the necklace to me, and I won't call the police. This is just bad luck, I accept it."
Admit defeat?
Qiao Xi's lips curled up slightly. "No. Mrs. Pei has been wronged in our beauty salon. How can we just let it go?"
"I'm a generous person, I want to let you go, is that not okay?"
"That won't do! There are so many suspicious points now. Li Qian said she didn't steal it, but Mrs. Pei said she did. So is there a third person behind this? We can only ask the police to take fingerprints."
Mrs. Pei quickly said, "Forget it! I don't have time to waste with you. Give me the things and I'm leaving!"
Qiao Xi laughed, her almond-shaped eyes condensing with a bit of coldness: "Mrs. Pei, now I want to call the police!"
"Old Chen, call now and explain the situation! Fingerprint checking is relatively simple. Both parties involved are here. Ask them if they can verify their fingerprints on the spot."
"Okay, young lady."
Old Chen took out his phone and made a call. In fact, he had already called the young master to discuss the details. The young master and the police rushed to the beauty salon to ensure that these wealthy ladies would not be kept waiting for too long.
Mrs. Pei's complexion became visibly worse.
She didn't expect that even though the opening ceremony was so busy, Qiao Xi would still notice such details and take precautions in advance.
It’s really hard to guard against!
Mrs. Pei knew that once the police arrived, many things would be different.
She had to leave quickly.
She stood up, picked up her bag and was about to leave.
Qiao Xi stretched out her hand to block her way and shouted in front of all the customers, "Where are you going, Mrs. Pei? We're calling the police to seek justice for you. Are you still dissatisfied?"
"It's my freedom to go wherever I want, and you have no right to control me!"
Mrs. Pei tightly grasped the handbag in her hand and looked at Qiao Xi with a grim expression.
She has to go!
"You could leave before, but you can't leave now. Old Chen has already called the police, and the reputation of our beauty salon is not something that anyone can damage. Mrs. Pei, what are you afraid of?" Qiao Xi's tone became increasingly cold.
Old Chen also blocked the stairs, preventing Mrs. Pei from going downstairs.
The two sides were in a stalemate, and the customers began to feel confused.
Mrs. Pei's attitude before and after was so different. She was clearly trying to get closer to the truth but was in a hurry to leave.
One really can't think too much.
at this time.
In the lobby on the first floor, a coquettish female voice rang out: "What are you doing? Why are you stopping my mom? Qiao Xi, Huo Sijiao, don't bully my mom just because you have someone to back you up!"
Pei Chun came here specially because he saw the video of the dispute on his WeChat Moments.
The opening ceremony of the Furong Beauty Salon has become a huge fuss! Rumor has it that a beautician stole hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry, and now the scene is in chaos.
When she saw that it was her mother, she rushed to the scene.
Pei Chun ran up to the second floor in her high heels, holding up her skirt, and stood in front of Mrs. Pei with a very bad tone.
"Since you don't appreciate my mother's kindness, then call the police and send this thief to jail. I want to see how your beauty salon will open for business in the future." Pei Chun was very angry.
Huo Sijiao and Qiao Xi are going too far!
These two people usually don't get along with her! Now they are bullying her mother!
It's really unbearable!
"You're deliberately trying to embarrass my mom. If that's the case, let's all go to the police station! Take this thief with you, too. The dirty deeds of your beauty salon have spread throughout the capital! Let's go to the police station!"
"Pure."
Mrs. Pei quickly grabbed Pei Chun's hand and said, "Forget it. Give me the things, and I won't pursue the matter."
"Mom, you're so kind! We can't just let this matter go. We have to get to the bottom of it! Maybe this hateful sister-in-law staged this all on her own."
"Chunchun, stop making trouble. Let's go home first. I don't want to waste time here."
Mrs. Pei couldn't explain to her daughter that this was a trap set up by her and Yingyue Pavilion across the street, and now Qiao Xi had caught them.
She was eager to leave this place of trouble.
"Mom, I'm not leaving! I want to have a fight with them!"
"Pei Chun!"
The mother and daughter had a difference of opinion.
Qiao Xi looked at them and said, "Since Miss Pei insists, let's wait for the police to arrive and collect fingerprints on the spot. If it is proven that there is a thief in my Furong Beauty Salon, I will apologize to you and pay ten times the compensation. I will also be courteous to you in the future."
Before Mrs. Pei could say anything, Pei Chun responded very quickly.
"Okay, not only you, Huo Sijiao will also be respectful to us from now on!"
Pei Chun looked at Huo Sijiao with some contempt. She had finally caught a good opportunity!
Look how this little bitch has the nerve to compete with her in conversation!
