Chapter 230: As Though Preventing Thieves

It was only just a qipao, it was honestly not too big a deal for Ling Tianya. Hearing what the lady said she became indignant. She was supposed to be attending Ruan Zeyan’s grandmother’s dinner next week too, and she was planning to gift that qipao to her.

“But Miss Ling, if that woman bought what you wanted to gift her, then what gift will you give?” Zhang Ke asked petulantly.

Ling Tianya’s brows lifted, she cheekily commented, “Who said that qipao was the gift?”

“Not a gift?” Zhang Ke was confused. “Then what are you buying it for?”

“To wear it, of course.” Ling Tianya rolled her eyes. Even though the prized possession seemed very exquisite and expensive, it was not suited for an old lady. If she really did gift it to Madam Ruan, she might not like it either.

She had originally intended to wear this qipao to the dinner; she thought Madam Ruan would love to see her in one. Because it was bought by someone else, she could only choose a different one.

Seeing that her own manager had bounded after the rich lady with the prized possession in their hands, the woman gave Ling Tianya an apologetic look. “I am so sorry, I didn’t think something like this would happen.”

Ling Tianya could understand. “It’s not your fault.”

The woman pointed at the other qipaos in the room. “We still have many other kinds of qipao in the room, and the price is a bit friendlier, why not take another look?”

Ling Tianya shook her head. “I’d like to know, is Madam Liang around?”

The worker was taken aback. “You know Madam Liang? Madam Liang doesn’t do qipaos now, only her proteges are doing making them.”

Madam Liang was the owner of the qipao shop and she was a world-famous qipao expert. One qipao made from her hands could be auctioned at an exorbitant price. She had quit making qipaos awhile back, so to get one of her handmade qipaos was more difficult than climbing Mount Everest.

Ling Tianya nodded her head in agreement. “I know, can I trouble you to inform Madam Ling, that TY is here to have tea with her.”

“TY?” Hearing that name, the woman was taken aback. It was just absolutely a mess on the news just a while ago that TY was that world-wide famous screenwriter that just came back from overseas! Most importantly, she was Ruan Zeyan’s fiancee!

At that thought, the worker dared not dilly-dally for another second longer, and immediately went to inform Madam Liang.

Zhang Ke was a little lost, “Miss Ling, you know Madam Liang? Why do I not know about that?”

“There are still many things you don’t know.”

“Oh.” Zhang Ke nodded sulkily, her teacher always had extraordinary capabilities.

Not too long later, the rich lady had finished making the payment, and the snobby manager went to send her off personally. When they passed by Ling Tianya, they lifted their chins, nose pointed towards the sky in arrogance. Displeasure was clear in their words. “I say, your shop’s getting messier, do you just accept anyone coming in here? If not for the fact that the old lady in my family likes your qipaos, I would rather die than come again.”

The manager knew what the rich lady is referring to, and gave Ling Tianya a glare, before nodding and bowing in agreement. “Madam Ruan please do understand us, we open our doors for business after all. When that kind of people invade on their own accord, we can’t treat them badly as we are a premium shop. We hold the highest quality qipaos in the entire world, so our prices are the most expensive too. Even if some people dare to walk in, they don’t have the money to purchase them, isn’t that right? I sincerely apologize for her being in your way and affecting your mood.”

The rich lady definitely had her ego boosted by the snobby manager and left with just a huff.

After sending the rich lady off, the snobby manager targeted Ling Tianya. She glared at her in irritation, as though she was expecting her to steal something.

“Ah, who is this?” Right then, an old lady dressed modernly, walked in.

The manager stumbled, running over immediately. “Madam Liang, why are you here?”

Madam Liang merely gave her a look and didn’t reply, walking towards Ling Tianya directly. “You little brat, after being back in the country for so long, you’ve finally remembered me!”

The manager was stunned into silence.
