Chapter 514: Blacklisted

Shen Jingjing's attitude was very firm, and there was not the slightest hesitation in her actions to call the police.

Just as she said, they could not leave in such an unclear manner. If they were to just walk out of the Li family's front door today, then the "theft" matter would never be cleared up.

She needed the truth, and her employees needed their innocence even more.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li frowned slightly, thinking to herself that Shen Ci's mother was truly stubborn. She had already said she wouldn't pursue it, yet the other party was making a mountain out of a molehill.

Just as she was about to speak, the built-in elevator in the living room suddenly made a "ding" sound.

The door opened, and Li Wanchang actually walked out from inside.

Shen Jingjing's action of making the call paused slightly, and Mrs. Li was also very surprised: "Honey? Why are you back at this time?"

The living room was quite lively; Li Wanchang hadn't seen so many people in the house for a long time.

He walked out of the elevator with a look of confusion, explaining to his wife that he wasn't feeling well and had come back to rest, while using his eyes to size up the people standing in the living room.

Until he saw Shen Jingjing.

"Ms. Shen?"

Li Wanchang spoke in surprise, clearly very unexpected that Shen Jingjing would appear in their home: "Why are you here?"

He was surprisingly polite, a stark contrast to the attitude Mrs. Li had shown. Shen Jingjing was not someone who would deliberately make things difficult for others; she would treat others with the same attitude they showed her.

So she nodded gently to Li Wanchang as a response, and then said: "My employees encountered some issues while providing service to Mrs. Li, so I came over to handle it."

Hearing this, Li Wanchang turned his head to look at his wife.

Mrs. Li felt guilty instantly and hurriedly laughed it off: "Oh, it's just a misunderstanding. I already said I wouldn't pursue it anymore just now."

A chill passed through Li Wanchang's eyes. He knew his wife's personality better than anyone; the matter definitely wasn't that simple.

Sure enough, Shen Jingjing immediately exposed her: "A misunderstanding? Mrs. Li didn't say that just now. Didn't you just insist that it was my employees who stole your things?"

As she spoke, she held up her phone, the dialing interface still showing the "110" police number, only she hadn't had the chance to dial it yet.

Li Wanchang understood instantly.

"Ms. Shen, please don't call the police yet. There might really be some misunderstanding in the middle of this." He hurriedly reassured Shen Jingjing, then turned to look at his wife and asked: "What item is missing?"

Mrs. Li's gaze dodged as she pursed her lips, and then she said in a voice as small as a mosquito: "Just that Hetian white jade bracelet of mine."

Li Wanchang's pupils widened slightly, and his fists clenched involuntarily.

Because his wife's Hetian white jade bracelet had been accidentally knocked and broken during dinner last week. He had seen it with his own eyes, and at the time, he had even promised to buy her a new one to replace it.

Even the two nannies were witnesses.

Li Wanchang shot a glare at the two nannies, his eyes filled with fury and questioning: "You just helped the Mistress frame others like this?"

The two nannies instantly cowered and lowered their heads one after another.

"Mr. Li, my employees earn their money through hard work. They are very ordinary and honest people. If this matter was done by my employees, I would absolutely not tolerate it. But if it is just Mrs. Li's malicious speculation and framing, then the slander and contempt they have received today must be met with an apology."

As Shen Jingjing spoke, she made a move to call the police.

Right and wrong should naturally be left to the police to judge most fairly.

"Ms. Shen!" Li Wanchang hurriedly spoke up, lowering his tone as he looked at Shen Jingjing: "No need to call the police. I remember now; that white jade bracelet was taken by me to give to someone else, so today's matter is just a misunderstanding."

Li Wanchang blurted out an excuse that sounded like a lie the moment it was heard, but smart people knew this was a way to save face.

Shen Jingjing naturally could see that too.

Hearing this, Mrs. Li took the opportunity to complain: "You too, why didn't you tell me when you took it?"

Li Wanchang looked at his wife: "You weren't home that day."

In his heart, however, he had already cursed his wife ten thousand times.

Watching this husband and wife perform their double act, Shen Jingjing sneered in her heart. Since that white jade bracelet didn't exist at all, calling the police naturally had no meaning.

But the matter could not end just like this.

She looked at Mrs. Li and said calmly: "Then please, Mrs. Li, apologize to my employees for framing them just now."

Although her tone was light, it was wrapped in an undeniable firmness.

"What?" Mrs. Li looked shocked, her tone filled with disdain as she blurted out: "You want me to apologize to them?"

"That's right. Being framed as a thief for no reason, shouldn't they receive an apology?" Shen Jingjing looked directly into the other party's stunned eyes, revealing a rare, aggressive aura.

"Or does Mrs. Li want me to organize the whole story and post it on social media?" Shen Jingjing threatened directly.

The wealthy cared most about face.

The circles in Longcheng were large, but they were also truly small. The clients currently covered by Shen Jingjing's company had a very high overlap with the people Mrs. Li knew.

If this matter were really posted and became known to everyone, the one who would lose face would definitely be Mrs. Li, and even Li Wanchang.

"You..." Mrs. Li was indeed wary, glaring angrily at Shen Jingjing, but she dared not speak rudely again.

"An apology is due, it is due." Li Wanchang hurriedly spoke up, looking at his wife: "Since it was a misunderstanding and others were wronged, then apologize to them. Do you really want to make this matter known all over the city?"

Mrs. Li felt a lump of foul air stuck in her chest. Today, she had originally wanted to deliberately disgust Shen Ci's mother to vent her anger, but she hadn't expected that in the end, she would once again be lifting a rock only to drop it on her own feet.

She looked at Sister Xiang and the others. Although they were neat in appearance, that cleaning uniform in her eyes only made her feel disgusted and nauseated.

"Today was a misunderstanding. I apologize to you for what I said just now." Having said this almost through gritted teeth, a wave of nauseating humiliation surged within Mrs. Li's heart.

She was actually apologizing to cleaning staff.

This was harder for her to accept than killing her.

Shen Jingjing watched her coldly. The apology naturally couldn't be considered sincere, but she had never expected the other party to give a truly heartfelt apology anyway.

"Sister Xiang, do you accept their apology?" Shen Jingjing looked at her employees.

Sister Xiang and the others nodded. They didn't care for the other party's apology, but the feeling of having their boss backing them up at this very moment was truly good. In their hearts, they felt more gratitude and emotion toward Shen Jingjing.

"In that case, we'll be leaving first." Shen Jingjing immediately said goodbye, but after turning around, she looked back: "By the way, Mrs. Li, to avoid similar things from happening in the future, your residence address will be permanently blacklisted by my company's system. My company will refuse to provide any business services to your residence from now on. Goodbye!" ===== CHAPTER 515 =====
