Chapter 228: Went Out to Buy Gifts

Ling Tianya perused the stack of information in her hands carefully, obtaining a very surprising conclusion, yet a very predictable one at the same time.

Placing the papers aside casually, she stood up to stretch. She didn’t have anything to do but sit and wait for the moment when Qu Wan lost her patience.

What was most pressing was Ruan Zeyan’s grandmother’s birthday the next week. It would be the first time she would be attending the Ruan family dinner as a fiancee. It was obvious that there would be a lot of people waiting to watch her, a woman from a small and not very rich family, to show up.

Ruan Zeyan said that she didn’t have to worry about getting a birthday present at all, and he would take care of that, but Ling Tianya felt that there would be people wanting to make use of the situation. People would think that she was nothing but a leech, so much so that even Ruan Zeyan had to prepare the gifts for his own grandmother.

Ling Tianya cleaned up before calling Zhang Ke to come along. She wanted to head out for a walk and see what she could get to gift to Ruan Zeyan’s grandmother.

“Miss Ling, Madam Ruan is the head of the Ruan family, what could possibly be impressive enough to leave a good impression?” Zhang Ke weakly whined.

Ling Tianya had already considered that problem a long time ago. “We have to use our hearts instead.”

“Use our hearts?” Zhang Ke repeated, before stopping with Ling Tianya outside a high-end bespoke qipao store.

The qipaos from the store are handmade, even the patterns were sewn on by world-famous seamstresses.

“Miss Ling, are you planning to gift Madam Ruan a qipao?” Zhang Ke asked.

Ling Tianya didn’t release any information. After a few times seeing Ruan Zeyan’s grandma, other than the first time where she had worn the maid’s uniform in order to sneak out and ended up crashing into someone else’s restaurant, she had been wearing qipaos.

The shop’s qipaos had authenticity radiating out from every single pore. It practically shouted luxury at the top of its lungs.

The moment the two of them stepped into the room, a lady immediately went up to them. “Are you here to custom-make a qipao?”

The lady’s face was appropriately respectful and confident, asking questions and answering them at the right times. Her voice was very gentle too, a very comforting one to listen to.

“I have a very important dinner to attend next week, so I would like to custom order a qipao.” Ling Tianya answered easily.

The lady seemed a little troubled. “Every qipao is made by hand, if you place an order now, we will not be able to deliver it by next week.”

Ling Tianya had expected that, so she backed down from that request and instead settled for the second-best option. “Then I would like to ask if you have any ready-made ones on hand?”

“We do.” The lady brought them to another spacious area.

A wide assortment of different exquisite qipaos were on display, and one long black qipao caught Ling Tianya’s eye on first sight. The qipao was embroidered with a gold phoenix. Its head was on the chest area and its tail extended all the way to the end of the qipao. That made the qipao look extremely luxurious and elegant. Ling Tianya pointed at it. “That one.”

The lady smiled gently, “You have a great eye, this is our most prized possession in the shop.”

“Oh? You’re okay with selling your most prized possession?” Ling Tianya asked.

The lady nodded. “We are, but the price is a little troublesome.”

The way the lady said it was very indirect, she was worried that Ling Tianya would not be able to afford it and would be ashamed after she heard the price.

Ling Tianya smiled, extremely pleased with how the lady treated her customers. “It’s alright, I want it.”

“Alright.” Seeing that Ling Tianya insisted, the lady helped her along with a smile.

Right then, a shrill voice cut through the peaceful atmosphere in the shop. “I want that black one!”

Ling Tianya whipped back. She caught sight of a well-dressed middle-aged lady standing there. What she was pointing at was the qipao that Ling Tianya had wanted to purchase.
