Chapter 626 Compensation and Apology, Loss of Face

Qiao Xi raised her eyes to look at the police and Mrs. Pei and said, "I have another piece of evidence in my hand, which can infer that this matter may also involve malicious competition among colleagues."

She handed the phone to the police and continued, "This is a photo taken this morning. The time on it shows that before coming to our Furong, Mrs. Pei went to Yingyue Pavilion across the street and had a pleasant conversation with the manager there."

Mrs. Pei was at a loss when she heard this. If she dragged someone into this matter before it was done, the Lu family would blame her.

It would be difficult for her to deal with being a wife from a side branch, and the main family would even blame her.

The tide has turned!

She said with an ugly face: "I admit that I did it, but it has nothing to do with Yingyue Pavilion. I have a good relationship with her manager and we just exchanged a few words. I just can't stand you two sisters-in-law teaming up to bully my daughter. Everyone knows that my daughter likes Xie Xubai, but Huo Sijiao got in the way!"

"As a mother, I just couldn't swallow this anger. That's why I did this at the opening ceremony. I admit that I put the necklace in her pocket just to teach you a lesson!"

This motive does make sense.

The police looked at her like this and said helplessly: "This behavior is illegal and you will be detained and fined."

Mrs. Pei's face turned even paler.

Pei Chun cried and said, "My mother can't go to jail. The matter has been sorted out. It's not that serious."

The police officer said softly: "If we can settle it privately, then a simple verbal education will be enough. If the two parties cannot reach a settlement, then we may really have to go to court."

After he said this, everyone understood.

Pei Chun's face turned purple. Was he asking them to pay compensation and apologize?

She actually wanted to apologize to Huo Sijiao again!

Pei Chun bit his lips tightly and couldn't utter a word.

Mrs. Pei panicked when she heard about detention and going to court. Before doing this, she thought carefully about the whole process and was determined to make Furong Beauty Salon admit the mistake and suffer this loss!

Who would have thought...

Qiao Xi was able to detect his deployment in advance.

This woman is indeed smart. No wonder Miss Lu regards her as a thorn in her side.

"Ms. Qiao, Miss Huo."

Mrs. Pei softened her tone, her heart filled with humiliation.

"I was wrong about this. I apologize to you. I just loved my daughter so much that I did such a foolish thing. Please forgive me. I will never do it again."

Mrs. Pei gritted her teeth and tried to be kind.

The more arrogant and proud you were before, the more humble and ridiculous you are now.

Huo Sijiao's face flushed with anger: "A few words of apology can write off everything? You want to make our business a laughing stock in the entire imperial capital. You have a vicious mind! Pei Chun is chasing after the explanation, but you are targeting our store. Such a mother is really protecting her shortcomings."

She sarcastically said, "If you succeed today, Li Qian will be taken away to jail. Her best years will be ruined. Mrs. Pei really spent a fortune on the 680,000 diamond necklace!"

"What a good one for my daughter!"

She was fuming with anger.

Qiao Xi patted her shoulder soothingly and said, "Mrs. Pei, you only apologized to us. Did you forget to apologize to Li Qian? She is the biggest victim."

Mrs. Pei narrowed her eyes, suppressed her anger and said, "I apologize."

She walked up to Li Qian in her high heels and said, "I'm sorry, little girl. I shouldn't have framed you. It's my fault."

"I..." Li Qian was at a loss as to what to do. She didn't expect the situation to take such a sudden turn.

Such a noble lady actually apologized to her, it was like a dream.

After Mrs. Pei finished her apology, she looked at Qiao Xi and asked, "Is Madam Huo satisfied? Please put forward any other conditions."

"Compensate Li Qian for her mental loss. She was frightened. Do you think Mrs. Pei should pay this compensation?" Qiao Xi naturally had to protect the employees in the store.

Mrs. Pei said, "Okay, I will give her 20,000 yuan for mental damages."

"Mrs. Pei is really open-minded." Qiao Xi said with a smile, "Why don't you compensate us for the losses in our store as well? Pay the beauticians' delayed work fees, as well as the bills of the customers who are waiting in line for the project? These people have wasted their time and energy because of your selfishness."

This is a big mouth of the lion.

But in order to make Qiao Xi stop here, Mrs. Pei had to be the scapegoat.

She said, "Okay, I'll pay for it!"

"Manager Zhao, settle the bill now and report it to Mrs. Pei immediately. Once she pays, this matter will be over."

Qiao Xi didn't want to make things worse.

What she wants is the beauty salon's innocence.

Manager Zhao had already made up his mind when he heard her instructions.

She had good mental arithmetic skills and soon came to a conclusion.

"Mrs. Pei, based on the commission of each beautician... plus the items that everyone has ordered, the total amount is 462,308 yuan. Would you like to pay by credit card or..."

Qiao Xi said calmly, "Let Mrs. Pei erase the eight yuan."

Mrs. Pei said angrily, "No need! I can still come up with eight yuan!"

The big part has been paid, who still cares about the other eight pieces!

These eight pieces of change are just humiliating her!

She took out her bank card from her bag and handed it over.

Manager Zhao paid the money directly and handed the bank card back to her.

"Mrs. Pei, thank you for your patronage."

Mrs. Pei held the bank card in her palm. The sharp edges made her palm hurt slightly.

She tried to maintain her dignity and asked, "Mrs. Huo, is this the end of the matter? Can my daughter and I leave?"

Qiao Xi said generously, "Please."

Mrs. Pei's face turned pale as she pulled Pei Chun through the crowd and left the beauty salon.

As soon as she walked out of the main gate and reached a secluded place, she slapped Pei Chun in the face: "It's you who ruined my good thing. I could have just walked away. Now I've become the laughing stock of the imperial capital."

Pei Chun looked at her in disbelief: "Mom, how do I know it was really you who did it! I was just venting my anger on you, and I didn't want you to cause trouble for Huo Sijiao for me! You are embarrassed, but I am not? And you hit me!"

She felt extremely aggrieved.

Mrs. Pei said coldly, "Don't worry about my affairs. But why haven't you tied Xie Xubai's heart yet? If you can't get her, just make it a done deal. The Xie family will definitely be responsible for you. You must marry into a good family and save my reputation."

Others all respectfully addressed her as Mrs. Pei, but when she was in front of the mistress of the Pei family, she could only nod and bow.

Pei Chun covered his cheek and left angrily: "You don't need to teach me!"

Mrs. Pei took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes.

She had lost all her face, but fortunately Miss Lu was not involved. Otherwise, the Lu family would have troubled her, and the Pei family would have blamed her for getting involved in this matter.

The excuse of venting anger for my daughter is the most tenable!

She gritted her teeth, today's feud was settled!

She will save herself later.

…

In Furong Beauty Salon, Qiao Xi explained the situation to the police and asked Lao Chen to politely see them out.

Manager Zhao was asked to arrange customers to do projects, and finally the crowd gathered in the lobby dispersed again.

The beauty salon operates in an orderly manner.

Huo Sijiao couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't sister-in-law sue her? She did this, I would rather not apologize or pay compensation! Our Huo family is not without money!"
