CHAPTER 471

Knowing the rule of their shopping mall, the staff lady was confused. Not only that she knew Bai Renxiang wanted that as she took her time admiring it.

All her actions screamed that she wanted them.

The staff lady was put in a tight position between two customers. One is the wife of the almighty Mr Li and the other is a customer who was the first to ask for an item Mrs Li wanted.

On a normal note, she should give Bai Ming the clothes but she felt it was not right as Bai Renxiang was in the middle of asking for them.

What would she do?

"What is going on?"

Just as she was racking her brain for a solution, someone stepped in. She sighed in relief as she thought it was her manager but it turned out to be another customer.

What was even worse is that this customer seems to be well acquainted with the woman wanting the clothes Mrs Li wants.

'Am I going to lose my job today? Manager Xian please come and help me solve this,' the staff lady prayed in her mind.

Most staff at other shopping malls would pray that their manager would not be there to witness such a scene. It might get them, the staff into trouble.

But their manager was different.

Manager He put himself in the shoes of his workers and also the customers. Not only that, he was good at making customers' bad moods change into good ones.

"Yisheng," Bai Ming called in a soft voice.

Her face looked like one that was wronged. Any man who would see her now would instantly want to protect her from any danger the world may pose.

"It is just that I saw this item on the mannequin and rushed to get it. I turned out to be the first to ask for the price and get it packaged, but..." She paused and glanced over to Bai Renxiang.

Bai Ming bit her lower lips as if she was trying to make them stop trembling. Her eyes hand turned moist and she lowered her head to hide her pitiful expression.

"But what?" Feng Yisheng asked.

Not getting a response from her, he felt like she was scared. He tilted her head up so that she would be looking at him and not her fingers.

"Did someone bully you? Tell me, babe," he said in his usual loving manner.

"It is just that my big sister happens to want that item even if I asked first," Bai Ming told him.

From the few words the onlookers could make out from Bai Ming's moving, they came to understand that Bai Renxiang was bullying her. Some began to sneer out loud at Bai Renxiang.

"Just because she is now Mr Li's woman does not give her the right to bully others."

"To think that the lady is even Mrs Li's sister is another thing. How cold."

"As an older sibling, she should learn to let something go for your younger one."

"I never knew this shopping mall would prioritize those richer over the less wealthy."

"True. It is no wonder the staff lady does not want to give the other wan the item. She is just being partial to curry favour from Mrs Li."

As the words continued to spill out from the mouths, the staff lady wanted to just dig a hole and hide in it. Not only her now but her place of work is being ridiculed.

How will she be able to face her manager now?

Meanwhile, Feng Yisheng's brows furrowed when he heard the words of those around them. It was then he thought to look ahead of him to see the second person in this whole scenario.

He was stunned when he saw Bai Renxiang and the staff kady who now had her head lowered standing opposite them. When he came, his eyes were solely focused on his girlfriend, Bai Ming.

He did not notice that Mrs Li was there at all. What even attracted him here was the crowd and in their midst, he could spot Bai Ming's pitiful figure.

He had thought it was another customer. But he did not expect that customer to be the wife of Li Fengjin. Also, he had not had a chance to personally meet the ex his friends told him about.

But seeing her now, he felt drawn to her beauty. Bit quickly setting that thought away, he frowned a little. If ever she was the president's wife he could not care less as he had to stand up for his girlfriend.

"Mrs Li, since Ming said she asked for this item first, it is only for that you let her have it," he spoke in a reasonable way that even the onlookers had to agree with him.

Bai Renxiang pursed her lips and her brows that were raised slowly dropped to their normal position. She wondered how many annoying women would she meet in one day.

First, it was Fu Bolin's wife and now is the white lotus stepsister. Not only her but a bunch of nosy customers who just wanted someone to become their topic of ridicule for the day.

Just how bad could her day just keep getting?

"Big sis, you have always gotten what you wanted even if it is what I want. I-I have already apologised for the breakup of your mother and our father... Can't you just let me have this one for the first time?" Bai Ming choked a sob.

Bai Renxiang's eyes dimmed on hearing Bai Ming's words.

She had expected that Bai Ming would stop by only making her look bad. But it turns out that that was not Bai Ming's only aim. She had played the innocent, wronged younger sibling and painted her black.

Bai Ming made it seem like all through their life as siblings, she(Bai Renxiang) had been using this means to vent her anger at her parent's separation from her.
