This piece of clothing cost sixty-eight thousand yuan, and she couldn't afford it. In addition, she wasn't the one who broke it, so she couldn't be the scapegoat.
A touch of guilt flashed in Mrs. Zhao's eyes, then she argued. "What do you mean I broke it? It's you who broke it, alright? How dare you accuse me of it? Do you want me to be the scapegoat? "
Hmph! No one had seen it when she broke the clothes, except for Zhuang Tianmei. As long as she didn't admit it, Zhuang Tianmei couldn't do anything to her.
Precisely because other people didn't see it, they weren't sure that it was Mrs. Zhao who broke the clothes, so no one defended Zhuang Tianmei.
Even though Zhuang Tianmei's colleagues believed Zhuang Tianmei, they didn't have evidence. Besides, they were always fighting against each other, so no one defended Zhuang Tianmei.
However, Gu Ning knew that it was Mrs. Zhao who broke the clothes from her reaction.
"Can't you see the surveillance cameras?" Gu Ning asked with confusion.
Hearing this, Madam Zhao's expression flashed with pride, while Zhuang Tianmei indeed looked disappointed.
"The surveillance cameras were broken this morning, and the person who fixed them hasn't arrived yet!"
This was said by the store manager. When she said this, she didn't show any concern. Instead, she seemed to be taking pleasure in other people's misfortune.
"Why don't we call the police? We can let the police do a fingerprint verification on the damaged part of the clothes, and they can find out who touched it first, "said Gu Ning. Gu Ning said. Of course, the fingerprint verification wasn't that effective, but it didn't prevent her from playing mind games with Mrs. Zhao.
Although she didn't know how strong Mrs. Zhao was and how much she knew about fingerprint verification, she had to give it a try.
Sure enough, Gu Ning was right. When Mrs. Zhao heard that she was going to call the police and do a fingerprint verification, her face changed all of a sudden. It was obvious that she had a guilty conscience.
Zhuang Tianmei, on the other hand, was thrilled. "Right, let's call the police and let them do a check!"
Comparing Madam Zhao's reaction to Zhuang Tianmei's reaction, everyone could tell who was telling the truth and who was lying.
Thus, everyone looked at Madam Zhao with a strange expression.
Sensing everyone's strange gazes, Madam Zhao knew that they believed that she was the one who ruined the clothes, so she felt uncomfortable all over.
She wanted to get angry, but she felt a little overwhelmed because of her guilty conscience. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
And this reversal was all because of Gu Ning. Therefore, Madam Zhao glared at Gu Ning fiercely, while Gu Ning looked at her calmly.
"Since Mrs. Zhao said that she didn't break it, and the shop assistant also said that she didn't break it herself, why don't we listen to this young lady and call the police?" a rich woman said. She was obviously mocking Mrs. Zhao.
"That's right. I also think that calling the police is the best choice," another rich lady said.
"Mrs. Zhao, your family doesn't lack money. Why don't you buy it? You can still wear it after mending it at home. If you don't want to wear it, you can give it to someone else as a gift!" another rich lady who was with Mrs. Zhao said.
Anyway, she had already lost face at this point. If she admitted that she was the one who ruined the clothes and bought the clothes, the matter would end here. The loss of face wouldn't be too big.
However, if they really had to call the police, it would be a big loss of face.
Mrs. Zhao wasn't stupid. Hearing that, she thought that it was the only way to minimize the problem.
Therefore, Mrs. Zhao followed her friend's advice and gave herself a way out. "My clothes are all worth tens of thousands of yuan. How can I not afford a piece of clothing that costs sixty-eight thousand yuan? If so, I'll buy it and give it to my housekeeper, "Mrs. Zhao said.
She pretended to be generous, but her heart was bleeding. Even if she could afford a piece of clothing that cost sixty-eight thousand yuan, she couldn't buy it casually.
In addition, many of her clothes were worth tens of thousands of yuan, but most of them were only around ten thousand yuan. There were less than ten pieces of clothing that cost more than forty thousand yuan.
However, in order to save face, she had to pay the sixty-eight thousand yuan.
Since Mrs. Zhao was willing to buy the clothes, Zhuang Tianmei wouldn't blame her. Her purpose was to make Mrs. Zhao admit that she ruined the clothes, then she would buy it.
Although Mrs. Zhao didn't admit it directly, she bought the clothes, which was a tacit agreement.
Other people didn't want to cause too much trouble, so they didn't say anything when Mrs. Zhao bought the clothes.
The store manager and several saleswomen felt uncomfortable when they saw that Zhuang Tianmei was fine so easily, but it was already solved, so they couldn't say anything.
The reason why they disliked Zhuang Tianmei so much was not only because Zhuang Tianmei was prettier than them, but also because the manager in their shopping mall treated her differently. It was impossible for them not to be jealous and dislike her. They couldn't wait to fire Zhuang Tianmei.
After all, Zhuang Tianmei was the Prince Charming in many people's eyes. Not only was he handsome and elegant, he was also rich. Most importantly, he was single. How could they not like him?
They wanted to marry him even in their dreams!
Mrs. Zhao paid the bill and left, but before she left, she gave Zhuang Tianmei and Gu Ning a glare.
After Mrs. Zhao was gone, Gu Ning turned around and left too.
Zhuang Tianmei didn't feel relieved until Mrs. Zhao's problem was solved. Seeing Gu Ning walking out of the shopping mall, she chased after her. "Goddess Gu, wait a second."
This time, other saleswomen noticed that Zhuang Tianmei called Gu Ning Goddess Gu, and they all turned to look at Gu Ning.
Gu Ning was very beautiful, and could indeed be called a goddess, but they were confused when Zhuang Tianmei called her a goddess. No matter how beautiful a woman was, it was normal for a man to call her a goddess, but it wasn't normal for a woman to call her a goddess.
To them, it didn't matter if a woman was pretty or not. If she was a celebrity, it was normal to call her a goddess.
"Goddess Gu, thank you so much. If it hadn't been for you, it wouldn't have been solved so easily. If you don't mind, I'd like to buy you a cup of coffee to express my gratitude, "Zhuang Tianmei said.
In order to express her gratitude, Zhuang Tianmei wanted to buy Gu Ning a cup of coffee, but she felt that there was a huge gap between her and Gu Ning's social status. Therefore, Zhuang Tianmei was very careful when she talked to Gu Ning.
