Unexpected Second Chance at Love Chapter 257 About time

Ning Mei watch in anger and jealousy at Yue Ling. She clench her fists tightly and wanted so badly to walk over and pull the woman's hair for embarrassing her like this.
Standing at the side, Ji Chu Hua also looked in the direction Yue Ling left. Her brows furrow together and she pout her lips. Never did she think she would run into this person. In the past, everything she did, she always felt inferior to Yue Ling.
Although they were not closely related, no matter how many times she tried to get Jingxu removed from the Ji family, it was always Yue Ling, who helped the boy.
She had asked her father how Yue Ling is related to the Ji family given the woman is a Han, but all her father said was that he also did not know. However, for her to not go and make any trouble. If she did, it would ruin the Ji name and she would lose the chance to obtain grandfather Ji's inheritance.
As Ji Chu Hua ponder in thoughts, Ning Mei thought otherwise. She hated Yue Ling so much that she wanted to kill the woman. Jealousy and rage erupted inside her, she quickly follows after Yue Ling.
"Mei Mei!"
From behind, Ji Chu Hua woke up from her thoughts seeing Ning Mei planning to leave. She quickly grabs the girl's arm to stop her.
"That's enough."
Hearing her sister Ji's words, Ning Mei's expression turned dishevels and ugly. Turning to look at the woman, she quickly change into an innocent little girl. She looked so pitiful like she had been greatly wronged.
"Sister Ji.... she didn't give me any face at all..."
Ji Chu Hua sighed at Ning Mei's words. The girl standing in front of her was really too pitiful. She was so embarrassed of this humiliation that even her face had turned red.
"Lets go pay for the sweater and go eat."
Ning Mei pursed her lip and glance in the direction Yue Ling went. After a quick second of looking, she suddenly thought of something.
"Jie, I want to buy something too. Wait for me at the counter."
Finding nothing out of place, Ji Chu Hua nod her head and turn to leave to pay for the sweater in her hand. She didn't like Yue Ling, but because of her father's words, she cannot bring shame to the Ji family. Up until now, she has done everything correctly, she cannot let Ning Mei ruin this chance for her. Once she inheirtance everything of that old man's, she will surely make Jingxu disappear from the world and then Yue Ling won't be so much behind.
"aChoo-"
Walking to the end of the store, Yue Ling felt her nose itch and she sneezed. Rubbing her nose, she frown and thought to herself.
'Is someone talking about me?'
Shaking her head to get rid of the thought, she looks at a fixture and walks over to it. Hung on each arm were men's dress shirts. Reaching towards a black dress shirt, she picks it up and her expression turned sad.
This dress shirt was the last one she designed before she decided to move to Imperial. A quiet sigh escapes her lip and her other hand brush against the texture of the shirt.
After a long minute, she gently stretch the sleeve out to measure. Her brows furrow slightly as she tries to remember something.
"Too small....."
Looking at another of the same shirt, she puts the one in her hand down and takes the other one off the fixture. Doing the same thing, she measures the length of the arm to hers. She made sure it was longer than Her's along with the length of the shirt's body.
"Hmm.... This should fit...."
Her lip faintly curls and she reaches for other colors of the same size. She was satisfied with her own measurement kills.
"M-Miss...."
Hearing a sudden voice behind her, Yue Ling turned to the person. It was the same female worker from earlier. Looking at the worker, Yue Ling's expression turned indifference. The smile she had when picking out the shirts vanished into thin air.
"Yes? Is something wrong with me looking at these too?"
"..."
The woman gulped at the model in front of her. Hearing Yue Ling's words, she quickly wave her hand out in front of her and shook her head.
"No, no, nothing is wrong. Please do look some more." Saying this, she quickly bow towards Yue Ling, "Miss, I apologize for my rudeness earlier. I hope that miss can forgive me."
Yue Ling looked at the woman and she sighed. This is one reason why she didn't want people to know her in public. Of course, the only difference between her as a model was the makeup and the real her is plain and simple. If someone knew that she was a model, they would try to curry favor.
She let out a sigh again and wave her hand to the worker, "Whether it is to me or someone else, don't make the same mistake again."
Saying her words, Yue Ling held onto the total of five shirts in her hands and walked towards the counter to pay. She didn't even bother to look at the worker again, because she had said what she needed to. It was up to the worker if she plans to change her attitude towards customers.
The female worker straightened her posture and she furrow her brows in the direction Yue Ling went. She felt it was oddly strange when she heard Yue Ling's words. It was like something her boss would say to her.
Until Yue Ling's figure nears the counter, the female worker turn to leave. She decided that from now on, she will never judge a person before knowing them. She cannot afford to make the same mistake she did today. It was clear that she was lucky Yue Ling did not report her to the higher ups or make a scene.
Of course, this worker did not know that the 'higher ups' she was referring to is none other than Yue Ling herself.
"Hello Miss, are you ready to check out?"
A worker asks as she sees Yue Ling in line. Yue Ling nods her head and place the five shirts onto the counter.
As she waited for her things to ring up, she sees Ji Chu Hua and Ning Mei standing two feet away from her. However, she didnt bother to care and continued to patiently wait.
Seeing this, Ning Mei looked at Yue Ling and she scoff in disgust. Turning her head away, she looks at Ji Chu Hua.
"Sister Ji, lets hurry and pay, I can't stand people like anymore."
Handing the cashier lady her silver bank card, Ji Chu Hua raised her chin and glance to Yue Ling. Everyone in Imperial knows that having a silver card is hard to get. Although it isn't comparable to the gold and black bank cards, even Ning Mei can't get one.
Full of confidence, Ji Chu Hua did not give Yue Ling another look. So what if she is famous model, her career was over the moment she retired from the entertainment industry.
Oblivious to Ji Chu Hua's thoughts, Yue Ling waited for her items to total. When the register worker gave her the total, she no her head and takes out her wallet. However, the space between her brows crease into three lines. She stare at the inside of her wallet and ponder in thoughts.
Seeing this, Ning Mei sneer and hump at the same time, "Sister Ji, it seems she can't afford her items. How about we lend her a help? After all, this is De L'amour."
"Miss Ji, here is your card back."
The worker who rung Ji Chu Hua's items hands the silver card back to its owner. She then bag the items up carefully and also hand them to Ji Chu Hua.
Taking her card and shopping bags, Ji Chu Hua smiles and looks at Yue Ling, "Because Mei Mei asked me to, I can help pay for your items. You don't need to compensate me."
Finishing her words, she hands her silver card to the worker who rang Yue Ling's items. She held her head head full of confidence.
"No need."
Just as the worker was about to take the silver bank card, Yue Ling's words stopped her. Her hands stopped in midair, then she drop it back down.
Yue Ling looks at Ji Chu Hua and smiles, "I do thank you on the offer, but unfortunately, your kind offer is too generous."
She looks at her wallet and leisurely takes out a bank card. At first, she hesitated because she didn't know which bank card should she use. After all, when she came to Imperial, Liu Shan had gotten her two different cards.
Yue Ling hands her bank card to the worker and in that moment, Ji Chu Hua and Ning Mei's face drained of all colors.
Gold.
Just like the two women who were high in confidence, the worker was just as surprised. She carefully takes the card from Yue Ling. Doing so, she steals another glance at woman who looked so normal then to the gold card in her hand.
It wasn't the gold card that surprised her. She had seen Yue Ling take out a black card at first, but then she changed to the gold card.
In Imperial, the silver card is the one that most prestige families have. As for the Gold, it's difficult to come across and only a few people have it. However, unlike the silver and gold cards, the black bank card was the most hardest. There are only a few people who has it and those people can be counted on one hand.
Never in her entire years of working at De L'amour has she seen a gold and black bank card, yet.....
She looks at Yue Ling like the woman was some kind of enchantress mix with monster. However, she quickly regain her senses and proceed to finish the transaction for Yue Ling.
It didn't take long before Yue Ling was given her card and shopping bags. She takes them and turn to leave De L'amour.
She didn't care whether Ji Chu Hua or Ning Mei were giving her murderous glares. After shopping, she is tired and wants to go home to sleep. Lu Tian hasn't come back yet, so she has to go find him.
Just as she was about to leave the store, two tall figures walked into the store. Standing opposite of her, she tilt her head and her expression was as if saying, 'Well, about time.'
