If the hot steam were to spray onto a person, it would cause burns.
Liu Meiling eyed Xu Qingqing's beautiful calves, and the evil thoughts in her mind grew stronger.
She quietly walked behind Song Qiqi, aimed at her target, and deliberately lifted her calf. Her heel kicked Song Qiqi's arm.
Song Qiqi's hand holding the iron suddenly trembled and turned towards Xu Qingqing's calf.
Oh no!
If the hot steam were to spray onto Xu Qingqing's calf, her leg would surely be burned, and she might even lose her job!
At this thought, a look of despair flashed across Song Qiqi's face. She gritted her teeth and raised her other hand to block the iron.
She'd rather burn herself than let the customer get hurt!
"Ah!"
Xu Qingqing, who was tidying her upper body in front of the mirror, was startled by a shrill scream.
Song Qiqi beside her was as pale as a sheet, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead. Her face was contorted in pain, and the iron in her hand fell to the ground, spraying hot steam towards the corner.
The other hand of Song Qiqi was burning red at a visible speed, looking shocking.
"Are you okay?"
Xu Qingqing was startled. She looked at Song Qiqi's hand in panic and understood what had just happened.
Song Qiqi's hand holding the iron had trembled. If she hadn't covered the iron head with her other hand, the hot steam would have all sprayed onto her leg.
Song Qiqi's hand was severely burned. Xu Qingqing was eager to take her to the hospital. "Let's go to the hospital. Your burn is too serious!"
Liu Meiling, who had already slipped away, showed a flash of disappointment and anger in her eyes when she saw her plan had failed. Then she walked over pretending to be concerned and blamed Song Qiqi.
"Song Qiqi, you're so careless. Fortunately, the iron sprayed on your hand. What if it had hurt Miss Xu!"
Hearing Liu Meiling's critical words, Song Qiqi looked up. The corners of her eyes were red from pain as she stared at Liu Meiling.
Song Qiqi wasn't stupid. She had felt something hit her arm just now. Without a doubt, it was Liu Meiling who did it.
It was the first time Liu Meiling had seen Song Qiqi with such a fierce look in her eyes. Feeling guilty, she couldn't help but flinch and took a step back.
"Why are you looking at me like that? It was your carelessness. Hurry up and apologize to Miss Xu!"
Hearing Liu Meiling shift the blame, Song Qiqi was so angry that she felt like having a heart attack. Her anger even outweighed the pain in her hand.
This Liu Meiling was really disgusting. She had been bullying her, and this time she even wanted to hurt someone maliciously!
After serving Xu Qingqing, she would never do this job again!
Xu Qingqing saw Liu Meiling gloating and scolded her coldly.
"Don't you even care that your colleague is injured? Go do whatever you should do. Don't gloat here!"
Hearing Song Qiqi's scream, Lu Chuanbai and Xu An'an in the children's area quickly rushed over.
Lu Chuanbai saw the iron on the ground still spitting out hot steam. His heart skipped a beat. He immediately checked if Xu Qingqing was injured.
"How are you? Are you okay?"
"Mom, are you okay?" Xu An'an also looked at Xu Qingqing with a worried face.
Xu Qingqing shook her head. "I'm okay."
Lu Chuanbai squatted down to turn off the iron. He walked around Xu Qingqing several times to make sure she was unharmed before he let out a sigh of relief.
"Is this how you serve your customers? There have been so many problems since we arrived. Why can't the clothes be ironed in advance instead of waiting until the customers put them on!"
Lu Chuanbai was furious. He could no longer hold back his anger!
He had already been dissatisfied because the reserved designer hadn't shown up on time, and now this accident happened.
Song Qiqi felt extremely aggrieved. She kept apologizing to Lu Chuanbai.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu. It was all my mistake! Please calm down!"
Seeing Song Qiqi being scolded, Liu Meiling's disappointment completely disappeared. She felt extremely pleased.
Serves you right for showing off. Now you're being scolded!
Xu Qingqing gently held Lu Chuanbai's hand to calm him down.
"Don't be angry. Thanks to Song Qiqi covering the iron with her hand, I wasn't hurt. Otherwise, I would have been burned."
"But it was still her job negligence!"
Lu Chuanbai said bluntly without mercy. His sword-shaped eyebrows were tightly knitted, and his long phoenix eyes were filled with a glimmer of anger. The imposing aura on him made Song Qiqi feel out of breath.
Seeing that Lu Chuanbai was really angry, Xu Qingqing looked at the iron on the ground and Liu Meiling with a gloating smile on her face.
Although she didn't know Song Qiqi well, Song Qiqi had been very dedicated when helping her tidy up her clothes and introduce things. She didn't seem like a careless person.
Xu Qingqing thought there might be some misunderstanding. What if Liu Meiling had taken the opportunity to harm Song Qiqi?
She couldn't tolerate any injustice. Looking at Song Qiqi trembling with fear, she pulled Lu Chuanbai behind her and gently asked, "Is there a surveillance camera in this room?"
If there was a surveillance camera, they could see if it was Liu Meiling who had attacked Song Qiqi.
Song Qiqi didn't expect Xu Qingqing to help her prove her innocence. Her eyes filled with tears were filled with despair as she shook her head.
"There is a surveillance camera in this room, but it was turned off after customers complained that it violated their privacy."
Hearing Xu Qingqing asking about the surveillance camera, Liu Meiling's smile faded a bit. She rolled her eyes.
Song Qiqi was really lucky to meet a customer willing to help her.
But she wasn't stupid. How could she attack Song Qiqi when there was a surveillance camera?
Liu Meiling was sure that the surveillance camera in the room was turned off and no one would see the truth, so she framed Song Qiqi boldly.
Just then, Amanda, who had finished her makeup and changed her clothes, walked into the room and happened to hear Song Qiqi's answer.
"I turned on the surveillance camera just now. It should have captured what happened."
Hearing this, Liu Meiling was completely stunned. Her eyes widened as she stared at Amanda, not daring to blink.
Great panic broke through her self - satisfaction and dragged Liu Meiling into a whirlpool.
How could this be?
Why did Amanda suddenly turn on the surveillance camera!
"Really?" Hearing this, a flash of ecstasy appeared in Song Qiqi's eyes. She excitedly walked up to Amanda.
"Manager, did you really turn on the surveillance camera?"
As long as she could see the surveillance video, she could prove her innocence and show that it wasn't her carelessness.
Amanda nodded and looked a bit embarrassed. "I turned it on as soon as I came. I'll take you to check the surveillance."
Amanda knew she was late. She wanted to see Lu Chuanbai and Xu Qingqing's attitudes towards her through the surveillance camera so that she could be mentally prepared to deal with the situation, so she turned on the surveillance camera.
