Taboo

Shao Rong was actually surprised by the woman's strength though it was not enough for her to subdue her if Shao Rong were to use her real strength.

Shao Rong is definitely not going to show her strength. Instead it is her weakness that she is going to showcase today.

She scrunched her eyebrows to show the pain she is suffering from the grip of the woman in front of her who tried her best to cover her face using a set of sunglasses.

"Excuse me, miss. Can you release my hand? It hurts," Shao Rong spoke softly while tears started swirling in her eyes from the pain.

"Sure. But you need to release the dress first," the woman said sharply using her authoritative tone.

Shao Rong looked at the beautiful dress in her grasp and spoke with her trembling lips, "But the dress is so beautiful. I want it."

All the saleswomen who looked at the scene pitied the little girl for her pitiful expression. They want to give her anything in order to calm her down. Such a cute girl deserves a smile and happiness. Unconsciously that is what everyone thought. But it is not in their hands to give the dress and hence kept mum in the situation.

"It's true that it is beautiful. That is why I would be the one taking it." The woman, Changying, spoke arrogantly.

Everyone watching looked at her in disgust. It is not because she was in the wrong. Instead it was because her image in their mind was damaged earlier by herself before Shao Rong entered the shop.

It is in human nature that the bad will be bad no matter how good they do. The good will be good no matter how much bad they do. That is the reason one would try to gain a good image during their first meetings.

Changying tried to show her authority on everyone which made everyone feel that she was the bad person while Shao Rong showed a bright smile and called a saleswoman 'Sister' making her down-to-earth and a good kid.

That is the reason, no one noticed that Shao Rong was the one unreasonable by asking a dress from another customer but Changying was being unreasonable to fight for a single dress from a young girl.

From the start everything was controlled by Shao Rong. Every smile, every word she spoke, every tear that swirled in her eyes, every pitiful expression which makes the opponent more angry while the onlookers side by her. Everyone's thoughts were thus controlled unilaterally by Shao Rong and her alone.

But no one realized that Shao Rong was the one manipulating such a small tussle, including Changying. Instead she became more angrier by the disgusting looks she received from others because of a little girl in front of her.

This anger is what Shao Rong was actually aiming from the start though.

She hence hid her victorious smile and said pitifully, "Miss, can't you sacrifice one small dress. You had chosen so many for yourself already. I need just one."

These words made everyone realize that there was actually a bunch of clothes in the sales assistants hands and Shao Rong was asking for just one among them and it was definitely not a huge deal to fight for. The other customers who may maintain a little rationality lost that with these words and subconsciously sided with Shao Rong in their hearts.

One of those customers couldn't bear this 'injustice' and spoke rightfully, "Yes, why can't you give one dress to her? You had taken so many already. It is not that you had paid for it already. That dress doesn't belong to you. What right do you have to seize it?"

As she spoke, the anger increased and her final words were spoken louder than the earlier ones, making everyone outside the shop listen. And that rightful tone made them believe that Changying is the one in the wrong and the crowd started becoming bigger with reproachful looks directed at her.

As the entire crowd was against her, Changying became more angry and she glared at the woman who just spoke, "Do you know who I am?"

She didn't realize that her words made everyone hate her even more. She is bullying everyone because of her background. That is what is running in everyone's minds.

"Why should I care who you are. Do you know who I am? You actually dared to speak those words to me?" the earlier woman glared back.

The people in high level can't take when others dared to look down on them and Changying unknowingly touched the taboo.

Looking at everyone's expressions it was clear that they all knew the identity of the woman who spoke just now. She is obviously a woman who could not be offended.

But the anger bubbling in Changying's heart made her blind to see that and she was about to shout back by removing her sunglasses to reveal her identity.
