The woman's expression changed, and she frantically tried to clean the stains on her coat, her heavily powdered face nearly crumbling in anger.
Shi Xinxin glanced at the coffee cup shattered on the floor and then at the woman's furious expression, and she already had an idea.
Heh, a scammer.
"I was walking on an empty path just now, and you ran into me yourself. Who can you blame for that?" Shi Xinxin directly exposed her.
The woman's face turned beet red with anger, and she glared at Shi Xinxin, grinding her teeth, "I don't care. You bumped into me and deliberately spilled coffee on my clothes. You have to compensate me."
Shi Xinxin laughed, unafraid, "You were holding the coffee, and you ran into me. I haven't even asked you to compensate me yet. How dare you shamelessly ask me for money?"
"Stop making excuses. If you don't have money, come with me to the police station!" The woman, acting unreasonably, grabbed Shi Xinxin's sleeve as if afraid she would run away.
Shi Xinxin detested being touched the most.
She frowned, looking at the woman's hand, adorned with bright red nails, gripping her sleeve, and felt even more disgusted.
"Let go. I won't say it a second time," Shi Xinxin took a deep breath.
She really didn't want to beat this woman to the ground right here.
Seeing that this person was not someone to be trifled with, the woman quickly shouted loudly, "Someone come quickly and see! This woman has no morals! She ruined my clothes and won't compensate me. This is a limited edition woolen coat from Luo Xi. She must be trying to get out of paying!"
With the woman's loud shouting, many people gathered around, looking like they were here for a show.
Shi Xinxin impatiently shook the woman off. She noticed the growing crowd and sneered inwardly.
Fine, since this woman had the nerve to call people over herself, she shouldn't blame Shi Xinxin for being impolite.
The woman looked determined not to leave without compensation, even crying dramatically. Suddenly, she heard Shi Xinxin's indifferent voice.
"Did you just say that I deliberately spilled coffee on you?"
Hearing her cold voice, the woman suddenly choked, inexplicably feeling a chilling pressure spreading through the air to her limbs.
She swallowed and thought that no one had seen her spill the coffee earlier. So, she bit the bullet and said, "Yes, you saw my coat was a limited edition, so you became jealous and deliberately spilled coffee on it. Now you're twisting the story and refusing to pay."
Shi Xinxin raised an eyebrow. She wondered who was actually twisting the story.
She nodded as if she were serious, "Since this coat is a limited edition, how much did it cost?"
The woman suddenly stammered.
She paused for a few seconds, then replied, "About sixty to seventy thousand. I bought it on sale, so I didn't pay attention to the original price."
A smile curved Shi Xinxin's lips. She shook her head, "That's wrong. This woolen coat costs well over a hundred thousand in the market. Which store would be so eager to do business with you to sell it so cheaply?"
The woman's face instantly turned embarrassed. Among the onlookers were many young ladies from prominent families who were familiar with this brand's limited editions.
They began to doubt the woman who was crying with a face full of complaints.
Seeing the growing whispers around her, the woman gritted her teeth, "So what? I just bought this coat a long time ago, so I forgot the price."
"Wrong again."
Shi Xinxin looked at her with a smile, seeing the panic in her eyes.
"This woolen coat was just released in the spring of this year. How could you forget the price in such a short time?"
Unexpectedly, this person knew even this. The woman's face turned as ugly as a painter's palette.
She stammered, "That, this coat was a gift from my friend, I just forgot to mention it!"
This woman had made mistakes again and again, and the onlookers were beginning to see through her act.
Shi Xinxin truly admired her stubbornness. She shrugged, "Then you should quickly break ties with this friend, because this so-called limited edition woolen coat she gave you is nothing but a fake."
As soon as she said this, the crowd erupted in discussion.
"I thought the color of this coat looked a bit off. I just assumed it was the lighting, but I didn't expect it to be a high imitation."
"Look at this woman, she's clearly not a good person. She must have brought a fake to try and scam someone. There are all sorts of people in this world."
The woman's face turned the color of liver. Just as she was racking her brain to say something, Shi Xinxin spoke again.
She raised her hand and pointed to the southeast corner.
The woman immediately panicked and quickly looked in the direction she was pointing.
Upon seeing it, her legs went weak, and she almost knelt down.
In the southeast corner, there was a 360-degree surveillance camera, with a red light blinking!
It would undoubtedly have clearly recorded her spilling the coffee and deliberately falling down!
Seeing the satisfying look of panic and fear on the woman's face, Shi Xinxin nodded with satisfaction.
Don't forget, she was the owner of this mall, and she knew the location of every camera in it.
At this point, there was no need to say more. The woman, disregarding the scrutinizing and disdainful glances around her, covered her face with her bag and rushed out of the crowd.
However, Shi Xinxin had no intention of letting her go.
The mall manager, along with several security guards, hurried over. Seeing their boss, they became flustered, "Ms. Shi..."
"Bring that woman back, and send her to the police station. Oh, and take the surveillance footage from the southeast corner with you."
Amidst the surprised and envious gazes of others, Shi Xinxin slightly lowered her head and looked at the wrinkles on her sleeve.
Now, she didn't even have the mood to shop. Shi Xinxin returned to the company with a cold face.
She glanced at the dresses Yang Yue had prepared for the auction. She shook her head, "I'm going to an auction, not a banquet. Wearing something too flashy won't do."
Yang Yue had the dresses taken away and returned to prepare clothes for the auction.
Shi Xinxin glanced at her ringing phone. It was a message from the mall manager, saying that the scamming woman was an old hand and had defrauded many people.
She was now being fined and detained at the police station, with a severe mark on her record.
Shi Xinxin's mood finally improved.
Another message popped up on her phone. She looked at it; it was from Sheng Chenjin.
He sent several pictures of custom-made suits along with a message, asking which one looked better.
Shi Xinxin glanced at them and replied with "black."
He quickly responded with "Okay," and Shi Xinxin smiled helplessly.
Just then, Yang Yue knocked and entered, carrying a few more casual outfits.
"Ms. Shi, these are the company's latest new arrivals. They're tailored for comfort and fit. You might consider them."
Shi Xinxin flipped through a few, but none seemed quite right. She suddenly saw the black strapless fitted dress.
"This one, please," she said.
