Chapter 195 -195 Why Apologize
Zhuang Rouhui’s words made everyone present find them laughable.
Who ever determined others as thieves first and then asked them to prove they’re not?
Moreover, the way Xue Yunlei was afraid to even call the police suggested that her family background might not be clean either.
Shi Yongshou tried to smooth things over, “Ladies, this matter might just be a misunderstanding. Yue Xiaofang has worked with me for several years, and she has never had any issues with dishonesty. How about we each take a step back? Xiaofang can apologize to you, and Mrs. Xue can go back and look again?”
This offer gave Xue Yunlei a way out, and she was about to nod when she heard Zhuang Rouhui’s sharp voice.
“Actually, we can let it go. We don’t need the stuff. Consider it a charity to her, but Yue Xiaofang must admit she stole the necklace.”
Yue Xiaofang had no intention of apologizing in the first place, and upon hearing this, she just snorted coldly, making her position clear with her attitude.
She knew Shi Yongshou wanted her to apologize to keep her job.
But Yue Xiaofang knew well that reputation was more important than money.
If she gave in today, she would never be able to clear her name, not knowing how others might twist the story.
Yue Qingqing comfortably stayed by her aunt’s side, not the least bit panicked.
After all, the truth would soon come out.
Because of Zhuang Rouhui’s unreasonable obstinacy, Shi Yongshou felt overwhelmed.
Having dealt with wealthy women for so many years, he rarely encountered someone so irrational.
Even Xue Yunlei felt awkwardly embarrassed, as it looked like her friend was trying to help her, but continuing to argue would lead nowhere.
Just then, the store’s phone suddenly rang.
Shi Yongshou picked up the phone, and the male voice from the other end came through.
The automated phone’s volume was loud enough for almost everyone in the shop to hear.
“Is this Mr. Shi? Is my wife at your store?”
Xue Yunlei immediately walked over and took the phone from Shi Yongshou’s hand.
“Husband, it’s me.”
“Your necklace has been found, some kid took it as a toy to the kindergarten. The teacher just found the necklace in the school’s toy box and rushed it over.”
Xue Yunlei’s mind buzzed, her cheeks reddening almost to the point of dripping blood.
She even felt annoyed—why did it have to be found right now…

“Hello? Are you still there?” The man asked as there was no response from her end, repeating his inquiry a few times.
Xue Yunlei hurriedly replied, “Husband, I got it, I’ll be home in a bit.”
After hanging up the phone, Xue Yunlei hardly dared to look at Yue Xiaofang’s face.
Shi Yongshou could only offer her another way out, “Haha, it seems I was right after all; it was just a misunderstanding. Now that the misunderstanding is resolved, there’s no issue.”
Xue Yunlei could only nod, “Yes, thankfully it was all a misunderstanding.”
Then she turned to take Zhuang Rouhui by the arm, “The necklace is back, let’s go home.”
Zhuang Rouhui frowned and headed towards the exit.
Before reaching the door, a little figure blocked the way in front of the glass door.
“Aunties, have you forgotten something?”
Zhuang Rouhui wished she could kick her away, saying irritably, “What more do you want?”
“Adults should keep their promises. You agreed to apologize to my aunty just now.”
Zhuang Rouhui said angrily, “She was just scolded a bit, didn’t lose any flesh, we didn’t make her pay money, why should we apologize?”
She looked arrogantly at Yue Xiaofang, “You had an attitude problem yourself. Had you explained properly from the start, wouldn’t that have been the end of it? Reporting to the police and making such a fuss, we are being magnanimous by not holding it against you this time, and you can continue working here.”
Yue Xiaofang’s eyes widened, unable to contain her amazement at the presence of such a shameless person in the world.
Before she could speak, Shi Yongshou quickly said, “Let it go, Xiaofang, I have some work for you, come with me.”
Anyone with eyes could see who was in the wrong, but that’s the way the world works.
If Yue Xiaofang truly wanted to stay, she would have to swallow her pride as if nothing had happened.
Yet Yue Xiaofang shook her head and said to Zhuang Rouhui, “Madam Zhuang, we both know who’s right and who’s wrong. I don’t need your apology; I just hope you remember that not everyone has to grovel to you, and you should treat others as humans.”
After saying this, she left with Yue Qingqing without looking back.
Yue Qingqing turned to make a face at the two high-and-mighty ladies.
“Lame, breaking your word is shameful.”
Zhuang Rouhui clenched her fists, wishing she could kick that annoying little brat away.
