Chapter 843 Framing 1
"Four hundred, not a penny less," the female store owner insisted on the price.
Some passersby had already started watching the commotion, and Ruan Lingyu didn’t want to escalate the situation, so she paid for the clothes.
After they left the store, Ruan Lingyu still wore a serious expression and remained silent, while Cheng Xining gradually calmed down and began to regret how she had behaved earlier.
Normally, Ruan Lingyu was indulgent with her minor tantrums, but if Ruan Lingyu was truly angry, she felt a bit scared.
After a long period of unease, she took the initiative to apologize.
"Auntie, I’m sorry, please don’t be angry. I was just so frustrated, that’s why I acted like that. I know I was wrong and I won’t do it again, please, won’t you stop being angry?"
As soon as she softened, Ruan Lingyu’s expression relaxed.
"Xining, I’m not angry at you. It’s just, your actions just now were really excessive. Our status doesn’t suit such behavior. If she had actually called the police and made a big deal out of it, do you realize the impact it would have caused?"
"Auntie, I’m sorry, it’s my fault," Cheng Xining said, sniffling, her voice filled with grievance.
Ruan Lingyu let out a sigh and, feeling sympathy, gently stroked her hair. "Alright, just remember not to do it again next time."
"Sure," Cheng Xining nodded, her face filled with gratitude. "Auntie, I knew you loved me the most, even more than my own parents."
