Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A young lady and an older woman were standing at the counter. The older woman was wearing a black and white suit and long pants. Although she was middle-aged, the wrinkles on her face were not obvious and she was still a lovely lady whom retained her charm.
The younger lady’s dress up was more beautiful and young.
Her hair was tied up simply and she was wearing a premium custom-made light green dress, blending well with the season of spring. Her dressing, coupled with her delicate and charming facial features, made heads turn.
These two people were Su Yurou and Du Huimin, Gu Zihang’s mother.
Su Wan pursed her lips. She was unfortunate to have met the people she didn’t want to meet most.
Du Huimin was originally quite good toward Su Wan and Su Wan respected her as well, but after her son liked another woman, she sighed as Su Wan was no longer her future daughter-in-law.
That moment, Su Wan found it hard to decide whether to proceed or draw back. She hoped the two of them could leave quickly after paying and not see her.
However, things didn’t develop according to her wish. Although they were about two meters apart, Su Wan could hear Su Yurou’s argument with the salesperson while holding the bag in her hand high up.
“How could it be out of stock? I saw a size M of this suit earlier.”
The salesperson was displeased with Su Yurou’s high and mighty att.i.tude, but Miss Su was a regular customer of this mall and she couldn’t afford to offend her. So, she could only smile apologetically.
“I’m not sure too. Perhaps it might have been taken by another customer?”
Hearing her explanation, Su Yurou looked more frustrated, “I don’t care. I must have this suit today. Go ask the supplier for the source of goods and get another set in size M for me.”
The salesperson was anxious upon hearing this. She shook her hand in a flurry and explained to Su Yurou.
“Miss Su, you might not know this but this is a new brand by our designer. The supplier has told us there would only be one set for each size. You can’t find this anywhere else, there is only one in the whole world.”
Su Yurou put her bag down in disappointment. She was filled with anger looking at the salesperson’s face.
“Do you know how high my purchase record is in this shop? What you’ve just done will only kill my desire to shop here. I will never set foot in this shop in the future!”
The salesperson wiped away the sweat on the back of her hand. Miss Su Yurou is their shop’s regular customer. She could afford pricey clothes. If she were to offend this rich customer, her boss would definitely get angry with her!
The salesperson had a respectful look. All she could do was lower her head and apologize, “I’m sorry, Miss Su, I’m so sorry. If you like the design of this brand, what if we notify you when we have new designs?”
Du Huimin was standing beside Su Yurou. When she saw how fiercely and arrogantly Su Yurou spoke to the salesperson, she frowned. “Alright, Yurou, since it’s out of stock, let’s leave.”
When Su Yurou saw the frown on Du Huimin’s forehead, she realized her att.i.tude toward the salesperson had disappointed Du Huimin.
Su Yurou wiped off the sweat on her forehead and when she let her hand fall, her look become gentler and demure.
“Ah, Aunty, I just feel that the suit fits Zihang. So, when I heard that it’s out of stock, I got anxious and had forgotten myself. I’ve made a fool of myself in front of you.”
Du Huimin nodded noncommittally. Su Yurou immediately wrapped her arm around Du Huimin’s arm and started chatting about other matters. She was trying to improve Du Huimin’s impression of her.
Just when the two of them were about to leave, the salesperson caught sight of Su Wan who was behind them. The salesperson was attracted to the clothes Su Wan was holding.
The salesperson’s eyes lit up. She rushed over to Su Wan and hurriedly called out to Su Yurou, “Miss Su, please wait! I found that M size suit!”
Su Wan was originally glad that Su Yurou and Du Huimin had finally left the shop but the salesperson ran to her and s.n.a.t.c.hed the suit in her hand away.
What was this?
Seeing the salesperson treading on air, Su Wan had a premonition in her heart. Was the suit Su Yurou wanted the one in her hands?
Wasn’t this such a coincidence?
On the other end, Su Yurou and Du Huimin turned around following the salesperson’s call. When they saw Su Wan beside the salesperson, they were taken aback.
Su Yurou bit her lips. Initially, she thought Su Wan who had lost the Su family’s protection would go into depression once again and would be in dire straits, just like a homeless dog.
However, to her surprise, Su Wan was in good spirits. Compared to her look at Aloes Tea House, her mood seemed to have taken a turn for the better.
From a glance, Su Wan looked like she was wearing no make-up and her dressing was simple. She was wearing a loose, light purple knitted blouse and a pair of slim-fitting black jeans. She looked vibrant, fresh and beautiful, just like cape jasmine flowers after the rain.
The salesperson had obviously sensed the strange atmosphere between Su Yurou, Du Huimin, and Su Wan but she did not know the relations.h.i.+p between the three of them. She thought Su Yurou and Du Huimin must be thinking about how they could get the suit.
The salesperson then skimmed through Su Wan’s dressing. She felt although Su Wan had good appearance, her dressing looked just like a fresh graduate’s and she might not even have a job. She thought Su Wan might not have money to purchase the suit and was merely looking at the suit for fun.
The most important thing was Su Wan had not footed the bill!
This suit did not belong to Su Wan yet!
The salesperson s.n.a.t.c.hed the suit from Su Wan’s hand and rushed toward Su Yurou to claim credit. “Miss Su, look—isn’t this the suit you wanted?”
Su Wan frowned slightly and walked toward the salesperson with dignity. Although her voice was soft, it wasn’t easy to be ignored. “I took a fancy to this suit first. Aren’t you being unreasonable by s.n.a.t.c.hing it away?”
The salesperson lost control of her feelings. She darted a look at Su Wan and thought in her heart, ‘This fresh graduate is insensible. She has no money to buy this suit so why is she standing in the way?’ She glared at Su Wan.
“You have not paid, how could this suit belong to you? Looking at the way you’re dressed, do you even have money to pay for this? Miss Su has taken a fancy to this suit earlier.”
When Su Yurou saw Su Wan being looked down upon by the salesperson, there was joy in her heart. She smiled as she said, “Wan, you’re here too.”
Then, Su Yurou waved her left hand, as if showing off the sparkling diamond on her ring.
Without fear, Su Wan glanced at Su Yurou’s ring but did not answer her. Instead, she turned slightly and nodded at Du Huimin, who was standing beside Su Yurou.
“h.e.l.lo Aunty Du. I was planning to pay for this suit. You’re modest and courteous, so you won’t s.n.a.t.c.h it by force, would you?”
Su Yurou’s face darkened upon hearing Su Wan’s words. Since when did Su Wan know how to scold someone indirectly?
Wasn’t she ridiculing her for s.n.a.t.c.hing Gu Zihang away?
