Chapter 847: Chapter 847 Eat Dumb Loss 2

Shen Mianmian hastily stuffed the clothes back into the bag and handed over the money to the cashier. "Here’s ninety yuan, the extra ten is for the trouble caused."

The cashier was somewhat stunned. She hadn’t expected Shen Mianmian to not only not complain about the expensive clothes but also to give an extra ten yuan. After thinking it over, she couldn’t help but say, "Looking at both of you, you don’t seem like people short of money. Try not to do this in the future, not every shop owner is as good-natured as me."

Some overly harsh shop owners really would strip off clothes, especially from a girl as pretty as Shen Mianmian, making them even more inclined to act.

Shen Mianmian smiled faintly and softly explained, "We didn’t steal anything. The clothes were put into our bag by someone else. But, saying that, no one believes us anyway, so I don’t want to explain too much. Thank you for being polite all this time."

Throughout the encounter, the cashier had never spoken harshly or purposefully made things difficult for them, and just for that, Shen Mianmian found her quite agreeable.

Upon hearing Shen Mianmian’s words, the cashier felt somewhat guilty. She didn’t know why, but even though she had caught them red-handed, she felt that Shen Mianmian’s words were credible.

As the two were leaving, bystanders pointed at the cashier and said, "That young girl is a bit foolish to let the thieves go so easily."

"If it were me, I wouldn’t let them leave without leaving all the money, and certainly not let them take the clothes."

"Not calling the police on them is already very kind."

Shen Mianmian and Yang Xiaoxi didn’t pay any attention to those people and directly left the mall.

As soon as they stepped out of the mall, Yang Xiaoxi couldn’t help but ask, "Mianmian, when you said someone put the clothes in our bag, was that true?"

She hadn’t stolen any clothes, and Mianmian certainly wouldn’t have either. Other than someone framing them by putting the clothes in their bag, she couldn’t think of any other possibility.

"Yes," Shen Mianmian nodded. "I suspect it was Cheng Xining’s doing."

"I remember now," Yang Xiaoxi suddenly realized. "The cashier mentioned that someone entered while we were trying on clothes. That must have been Cheng Xining. I can’t believe I didn’t think of it earlier. That malicious woman is just too wicked. Mianmian, we can’t let her get away with this."

Yang Xiaoxi was so angry, she clenched her teeth. She had never encountered such a malicious woman in her life.

Shen Mianmian shook her head slightly, "We don’t have any evidence, and making a fuss about it would be useless. Even if we could prove she was there, no one saw her put the clothes in the bag. If it gets out, it would just make the issue of us stealing clothes widely known, which isn’t beneficial for us."

It’s not like the twenty-first century; the store doesn’t have cameras, so there’s absolutely no evidence to prove it was Cheng Xining’s doing. They had no choice but to accept their fate.

"Isn’t that letting her off too easily?" Yang Xiaoxi felt very unwilling. Why should the wrongdoer roam free while they took the blame?

"If you walk the night road often, you’re bound to encounter ghosts." A gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years, Shen Mianmian was not in a hurry at all. "Later, when we meet Big Brother He, don’t mention this. He has been quite busy recently; there’s no need to bother him with these trivial matters."

They had originally planned to go shopping for clothes together today, but as soon as the three of them reached the entrance of the mall, someone from the company came to find him. Knowing he had business to attend to, Shen Mianmian told him to go ahead, and she went shopping with Yang Xiaoxi, agreeing to meet for lunch at a nearby restaurant.

"Okay," Yang Xiaoxi nodded in agreement. She also noticed that He Nan had been quite busy recently.

Lanyue is now a well-known brand selling clothes overseas, with a limitless future ahead. It would indeed be quite pretentious to bother him with such things.
