Chapter 624: From now on, be respectful to me
Qiao Xi was not willing to be outdone.
Her voice was cold and clear: "What I mean is that Mrs. Pei and Li Qian each have their own opinions, and it is hard to tell who was wrong. Then 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 do I want?"
"What did Li Qian want? Mrs. Pei, let me ask you again, do you still firmly believe that it was Li Qian who stole your necklace?"
"Of course! If not her, who else could it be? Both she and your beauty salon are 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 Boss, I really didn't touch it. I don't know how this necklace got into 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.
Looks very pitiful.
"Okay, I'm done asking." 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, and Mrs. Pei said she stole it. Then a necklace like this will definitely leave fingerprints. As long as the fingerprints are extracted, the truth will be revealed! Who is lying? We'll know once we test it!"
Fingerprints?
Mrs. Pei's ears were buzzing.
"You really didn't touch the necklace?" She spoke in a shrill voice that almost hurt my eardrums.
Li Qian cried and said, "I really didn't have it. 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 didn't dare to move!"
How could this happen!
Mrs. Pei indeed overlooked the fingerprint issue before doing anything.
But if a normal person finds that there is something extra in his pocket, wouldn’t he take it out and have a look?
This bodyguard is Qiao Xi's man. Has she guessed her plan long 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 what you said. Return the necklace to me, and I won't call the police. This is my bad luck, I admit it."
Admit defeat?
Qiao Xi raised the corners of her lips slightly: "No. Mrs. Pei was 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 doubts now. Li Qian said she didn't steal it, but Mrs. Pei said she did. So is there a third person behind it? We can only ask the police to take fingerprints."
Mrs. Pei said quickly, "Forget it! I don't have time to waste with you. Give me the things and I'll leave!"
Qiao Xi laughed, her almond-shaped eyes condensed with a bit of coldness: "Mrs. Pei, now I am the one who needs to call the police!"
"Mr. Chen, call now and explain the situation! Fingerprint verification is relatively simple. Both parties are here. Ask them if they can verify their fingerprints on the spot."
"Okay, Madam."
Lao Chen took out his cell 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 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 be prepared 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 hurry.
She stood up, picked up her bag and was about to leave.
Qiao Xi stretched out her hand in front of her and shouted in front of all the customers: "Where is Mrs. Pei? We called the police to seek justice for you. Are you still dissatisfied with something?"
"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 sullen face.
She has to go!
"You could leave before, but you can't leave now. Mr. 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 really different. She was clearly trying to get closer to the truth but she was in a hurry to leave.
One cannot help but 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 holding my mom back? 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 argument on his circle of friends.
I don't know why the opening ceremony of the Furong Beauty Salon has become such a big deal! It is said that a beautician stole hundreds of thousands 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 the hem of 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 are deliberately making things difficult for my mother. In that case, let's all go to the police station! Take the thief with you as well. Now the dirty deeds of your beauty salon have spread all over 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 any further."
"Mom, you are so kind! We can't just let this matter go. We must get to the bottom of it! Maybe this hateful pair of sisters-in-law staged this all themselves."
"Junchun, stop it. 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 won't leave! I want to talk it out with them!"
"Pei Chun!"
The mother and daughter had a disagreement.
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 tenfold and show you courtesy when I see 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 when she sees us in the future!"
Pei Chun looked at Huo Sijiao with a bit of contempt. She finally got a good opportunity!
Look how this little bitch has the nerve to compete with her for the confession!
