âOf course not. We display the more affordable pieces in our store. The really expensive and good ones are put away because many customers touch them with their hands. If we get sweat stains on the gems and diamonds, it will affect their radiance.â
âOh...â When Liang Yin heard this, her expression darkened.
The displayed designs looked so mediocre and yet they were priced at tens of thousands. Wouldnât the expensive ones cost hundreds of thousands then?
She felt quite torn. Or perhaps, she was feeling a little upset that her rather full purse was about to be emptied.
Forget it!
She decided to take a look first. In any case, it didnât cost anything to browse.
âNone of these styles look good. Could you show me the nicer ones!â
The shop assistant muttered to herself, but had no grounds to refuse. âWait here for me!â she instructed. With that, she turned and headed for the vault.
At this point,, another shop assistant came over, looking nervous. âDid you see the individual sapphire ring displayed in cabinet A?â
âWhatâs the matter?â The shop assistant was also wary. âDonât tell me... that woman really is a thief?â
âThe sapphire ring is missing.â
The two of them walked to cabinet A. As expected, the sapphire ring that had been displayed in it was gone.
They were both dumbfounded.
âNo way! I had my eyes on her the whole time. She walked past Cabinet A, but I didnât see her touch it!â
âWhat do you know? Some thieves are top-notch. They can get away with it without anyone noticing! Donât let her go, we have to clarify the situation. Iâll check with the manager again. In case itâs been put away.â
âOkay.â
The shop assistant turned around and walked up to Liang Yin. Seeing that she had returned empty-handed, Liang Yin was puzzled. âEh? Didnât you go to get the cufflinks?â
âThe vault isnât open. Perhaps you could take a look at these other items.â
When Liang Yin heard this, she could only assume that this shop assistant thought she couldnât afford it and was just patronizing her. Her anger boiled over and she finally said impatiently, âForget it! Iâm not buying it!â
She thought sheâd go take a look at other counters!
Didnât Qin Zhou like Versace too?
She did notice a lit Versace logo as she passed. On the way here, she had searched online and learned about the brandâs logo. She did her homework.
Seeing that Liang Yin was about to leave, the staff stopped her! âYou canât leave!â
In her excitement, the staff grabbed Liangâs wrist.
Liang Yin struggled and grimaced. âWhat are you doing? Why arenât you letting me leave?â
âDidnât you say you wish to buy cufflinks for your boyfriend?â
âYes. But youâre not going to show me the good stuff. None of the ones on display look good.â
âDonât go yet.â That was all the staff said. She even looked around at her colleagues. âWhat now?â
A moment later, the manager and his colleague hurried over, looking flustered. âThe sapphire ring is gone.â
âItâs really gone!?â
The shop assistant was furious the moment she heard that, and gave Liang Yin a hard shove. âReturn the ring!â
Liang Yin was confused. After being pushed, she stumbled a few steps back and almost fell.
She was furious too, and shouted, âWhat are you doing?!â
The shop assistant was belligerent. âA sapphire ring is missing from our counter. Did you steal it?â
âHa!â Liang Yin smiled. So she was being treated as a thief?! âDo you have proof? Without proof, arenât you simply slandering people?â
