Chapter 868 Are you saying I can’t keep your store running?
"I’ve never seen someone so brazen about doing something wrong. You really have no shame," the landlady, in her forties and always quite fiery, said. Her attitude when she kicked Shen Mianmian out of the shop that day said it all.
Now that she heard what Cheng Xining said, her anger intensified, looking as if Xining had stolen clothes from her shop.
"Who are you calling shameless?" Xining, who had never been cursed at like this before, felt deeply humiliated and her face turned bright red with anger.
"I’m talking about you, what about it?" The boss’s wife turned around and started shouting to the people outside, "Everyone, come and see! The girl yesterday was wronged; she didn’t steal any clothes at all. This woman caused all the trouble, accusing others. She looks decent, but her actions are anything but!"
"You—you shut up!" Xining was so angry she could hardly keep from marching over and covering the woman’s mouth.
"I’m telling the truth, why should I shut up?"
The landlady’s voice got even louder.
Seeing more and more onlookers gathering, Xining lost her composure and turned to leave, but the woman from the shop blocked her path, "Why are you running? If you have the guts to do it, don’t you have the guts to admit it?"
"Do you believe that if you keep blocking me, I will make it so your shop can’t keep running?"
Xining, for the first time, encountered someone so unreasonable and fiery that she could think of nothing else but to make threats.
