Only If She Had Known.

It had even been the talk of the town for years that brands should only consider themselves brand if the product of their respective brand had ever been kept in this mall!

Looking at the interior of the mall, she suddenly remembered that upon her marriage to her husband; this mall was given to her as a gift by Old Madam Lin.

But she had completely forgotten about it...and looking at the mall right now it seemed that someone else was operating it on her behalf.

The mall was considerably divided into different sections on different floors; offering its own world of shopping for different valuables regarding the own requirements and wishes of customers.

Since the first thing Jiang Ying Yue wanted to do was to buy toys and dresses for Guo Leiwu's daughter, she went to the first floor which was utterly reserved for the kids and was divided into two sections: one that offered the garments and footwear for the kids and the other was toys section.

There was also a foodplay section for kids to play while waiting which particularly offered kid meals; the main two sections were at both the ends of the foodplay section.

On reaching the first floor she was received by the foodplay section from where she turned right to buy the attires.

There was only one shop assistant in the shop at that time as all the others had gone to an urgent meeting involving all the shop assistants of the section.

The shop assistant looked all pissed and was already mortified beyond any measure that nobody bothered to even notify her about the meeting!!!

Those bi*****!!!

Just because she was of a lower status they all thought that they could look down upon her! So what if she had never gone to any of the meetings except for the bonus collection, it was still their responsibility to inform her about it!!

When the shop assistant saw someone pulling the glass door, she instantly pushed away her sullen look and was about to go there to greet them but looking at the simple attire of the appearing lady she stopped where she was and just snorted silently.

She had seen way too many ladies like this, acting all elegant but when it comes to buying, they just make excuses that garments were not up to the mark.

Since Jiang Ying Yue had not come out much in public as Young Madam Lin, the shop assistant did not recognise her and just thought her to be one of the young mistresses of hundreds of upper-middle-class families of City B which were not given that much importance in comparison to the higher ones.

Not that it ever mattered to Jiang Ying Yue if she was being served by the shop assistants or not but Qin Zihao trailing behind her had already seen the kind of expression the shop assistant had made and just ignored her while smirking.

Wait till you know her real identity...

Wondering to himself about how regretful she will be once she gets to know about the real identity of Miss Jiang; he couldn't help but peek back at the shop assistant and continued following Jiang Ying Yue.

The shop was filled with the variety of designs, colours, patterns and textures of clothes for the kids. The little attires displayed on hangers, mannequins, and shelves along with the glimmering lights of the shop made a different feeling glow inside of her.

Looking at the various kid's garments, she came across the baby section and was suddenly hit with the familiar emotions. It was not the first time she was visiting the babies' section.

She had been to one once before...

That harked her back to the day when she had gotten to know she was three months pregnant. Though she doesn't remember how exactly she had felt back then but she did remember feeling a warmth blooming inside of her.

In a sudden urge, that evening, when she was going back home, she had visited a baby's shop and kept on smiling happily to herself the whole time while looking at the tiny things there.

And at the end, she remembered laughing at her repulsive actions to come there when she was not even that far along and convincing herself that she still had more than enough time to buy all these things.

Time...only if she had known.

Just when she was about to touch a tiny onesie of a baby girl which was hanging magnificently on the hanger, the shop assistant interrupted her in a shrill voice at the same time pulling her out of her thoughts.

"Do you even know how expensive is this? Don't bother touching it if you not gonna pay for it later on!!!"

She paused her already half-stretched hand for a moment but then continued to stretch it and took out the hanger as if she was not the person to whom the words were just directed to.

Taking her time, gently touching the fibre with warmth in her eyes Jiang Ying Yue turned to her front; while pulling her gaze slowly from the pink tiny onesie she looked at the shop assistant who was sharply glaring at her. Watching such expression on the shop assistant's face, she calmly spoke, "I don't see a board here where it is written that I can't touch things. And if there is one...show me."

The way the shop assistant spoke to her was way too rude. Did she think she would listen to whatever she would order her to?

Qin Zihao snickered from the side.

The shop assistant felt rage from the clear provoking as it was the first time she was being spoken to in such a manner. Nobody in the shop was daring enough to oppose whatever she say due to her backing!!!

Suddenly feeling challenged, she rebuked, "There might not be a board here but you can only touch things when you would buy them. And if you are not here to buy then please stay and look from afar. There is no need to dirty such expensive clothes!"

Qin Zihao snorted at the shop assistant, "With such qualifications of yours how did you even manage to get a job here or is it.....that you are more qualified in some other category." his voice became teasing by the end but the acuity was still clear in his eyes.

Feeling deeply insulted, she started fuming with anger as his words stabbed right at the point.

"You!!! You dare to utter such despising nonsense about others when you are the one not abiding by the rules!"

"Rules?" Jiang Ying Yue laughed as if she heard a joke. "So what you mean is that checking the clothes here is prohibited? Might as well close the shop if this is how things go here." she sneered.

She might be someone who preferred to stay silent most of the time but she was not stupid enough to believe whatever nonsense this shop assistant had uttered just now.

If necessary, she could even get in a physical battle not that she would mind.

She would not have taken the matter this far had the shop assistant been polite. But she was clearly looking for a fight ever since she appeared, so it was not her fault. It was not like she had not noticed the disdain look the shop assistant had thrown at her when she entered this section.

"Miss Jiang, say, should we just call the Shop Manager or directly the Director of this mall." Qin Zihao kept his twinkling yet keen eyes on the shop assistant the whole time while speaking.

Hearing him address the lady as Jiang, the bell rung in her head but she felt it was impossible for her to be that person.

No! It can't be!! It definitely won't be like that!!! Her attire was way too simple for someone belonging to the family of extravagance!!!

Suddenly feeling confident about her this thought, she straightened her back and snorted, "Call whoever you want to. I would also like to see which Director would it be."

Jiang Ying Yue smirked, "You are way too proud and confident for your own good."

Still smiling while keeping her eyes intact at the shop assistant, she asked casually, "Qin Zihao, do you know who is the Shop Manager here?"

Qin Zihao appeared to ponder for a minute before he replied, "Probably not."

"Then that's her bad," she spoke in a slightly disappointing tone all the while her smile not fading from her lips.

The shop assistant who was standing with her arms crossed sniggered at them and went on to snatch the hanger from Jiang Ying Yue's hand but her facial expression immediately changed when she heard the next part of the conversation.

"But I seemed to be familiar with Director Zhang. Miss Jiang, should I just directly call him to inform...about the situation here." even though he had pointed the question to Jiang Ying Yue, he had smiled innocently at the shop assistant while speaking.

His boyish looks became more and more distinct because of his charming smile while some strands of his dark brown hair fell on his forehead.
