Chapter 229: Random Nobodies

Ling Tianya looked at that rich woman, who was a full on snob.

Holding the qi pao in her hand, the store attendant said to the rich woman politely, “I’m sorry, but this lady saw the qi pao first.”

Ling Tianya nodded, appreciating the decency of the store attendant who didn’t judge people by appearance and understood first come first serve.

The rich woman glimpsed at them and said, “So what? I definitely want this one. Is there a problem?”

The rich lady was very domineering, putting the store attendant in a difficult position. “But, after all it is …”

“Ma’am, you should understand first come first serve. I saw this qi pao first and already said I would buy it. I’m sorry, but I can’t give it to you,” Ling Tianya said composedly. Then she turned to the store attendant. “Please wrap it up for me.”

“Okay.”

“Hold on a minute!” The rich woman called the store attendant in a bossy tone.

“Is there anything else that you want?” Ling Tianya began to feel irritated.

“I always get the things I lay eyes on! Do you have no idea who I am?” The rich woman seemed mad.

At that moment, the store manager rushed over, and her eyebrows scrunched together when she saw the rich woman. Putting on a flattering smile, the store manager said, “Ah, isn’t this Mrs. Ruan? She’s new here so she has not met you before. You are one of our most treasured costumers, so don’t be angry.”

“Mrs. Ruan?” Zhang Ke murmured next to Ling Tianya’s ear. “She is from the Ruan Family?”

Ling Tianya raised her eyebrows. She had never met this Mrs. Ruan. Maybe she was a wife from a different branch in the Ruan Family?

The rich woman’s face relaxed a bit after someone finally recognized her.

“Do you want this qi pao? It is yours.” The manager then took the qi pao straight from the attendant’s hand. “Please come this way. How would you like to pay today? Card or put it on Mr. Ruan’s tab?”

The attendant who was helping Ling Tianya glanced at her embarrassedly and called the manager and the rich woman, “But, this lady saw the qi pao first, shouldn’t we…”

“What do you mean?” The manager turned her face and scolded. Glancing at Ling Tianya, she then said, “The supreme dress in our store is only suitable for classy people like Mrs. Ruan. How can you sell it to some random nobody?”

“Random nobody? Are you calling Miss Ling a random nobody?” Zhang Ke couldn’t stand by anymore. “Don’t you watch the news? You have no idea who Miss Ling is?”

After hearing Zhang Ke, the rich woman and the manager took another gander at Ling Tianya and realized she did look somewhat familiar, but why did it matter? There was no way that the woman could be more powerful than the Ruan Family.

With that thought in mind, the manager laughed, “Who? I really have no idea. We’re an upscale bespoken clothing store, not a place for commoners.” As she was speaking, the manager reached out her hand to guide the rich woman. “Mrs. Ruan, this way please.”

Obviously satisfied with the attitude of the manager, the rich woman smiled at Ling Tianya mockingly.

“I’m attending our Zeyan’s grandmother’s birthday banquet next week. So, alter this qi pao according to Madam Ruan’s measurements.” Said the rich woman as she followed the manager to check out.

“Okay, okay! We have Madam Ruan’s measurements.”

Zhang Ke still wanted to stop the two but was pulled back by Ling Tianya.

“Miss Ling?”

“It doesn’t matter.” Ling Tianya smiled with ease.
