Chapter 850 Speaking the Truth
Seeing that the two women were relatively calm and not causing any trouble, the clerk explained the situation from the beginning to the end, including the part where someone came by during the incident, which she also mentioned. As He Nan listened, his expression grew darker and more severe.
Noticing this, the clerk quickly explained, "I didn’t give them a hard time, nor did I insist that they stole the clothes. They bought the clothes voluntarily."
He Nan didn’t respond; it seemed whether she was afraid or not didn’t matter to him at all.
He asked Yang Xiaoxi, "Who else did you encounter before coming to this store?"
Yang Xiaoxi: "..."
She sent a plea for help to Shen Mianmian, knowing that Shen Mianmian didn’t want her to mention Cheng Xining, but she also didn’t dare to lie in front of He Nan!
Shen Mianmian pursed her lips. Since He Nan had asked Yang Xiaoxi directly instead of her, it indicated that he had already guessed something. He was so intelligent, and trying to keep the truth from him this time was definitely impossible.
So she said, "Tell the truth."
Hearing Shen Mianmian’s words, Yang Xiaoxi didn’t hold back and immediately disclosed the encounter with Ruan Lingyu and Cheng Xining.
"Big Brother He, we met Cheng Xining and her aunt. They said that Mianmian tricked you for your money, that Mianmian is very scheming, and that she has no shame. Anyway, they said some pretty ugly things. After we left them, we came to this store to buy clothes, and then this incident happened," Yang Xiaoxi said.
The clerk, upon hearing Yang Xiaoxi’s words, roughly understood what had happened and quickly said, "Actually, I didn’t think you were thieves, but since the clothes were found in your bag, I had no choice. If my boss found out, she would definitely dock my wages."
