Chapter 64: Engagement Invitation
As if absorbed in thoughts, Du Huimin sized up Su Wan and nodded slightly. “Wan, I haven’t seen you in a long time.”
Su Wan looked more mature and magnanimous than she had three years ago.
If not for Su Wan’s lack of support after her parents’ death and her son’s stubbornness to switch his affection from Su Wan to Su Yurou, Du Huimin would have preferred Su Wan. It was too bad that this girl had no luck to be her daughter-in-law.
When Su Yurou saw Du Huimin speaking to Su Wan in a gentle manner, a sense of jealousy flashed through her eyes. However, due to the previous lesson, Su Yurou covered up her emotions and pretended to care for Su Wan.
“Wan, you’re dressing so casually. Is it because you do not have enough money after leaving the Su family? If you are in trouble, why didn’t you tell me? We’re all worried about you…”
The salesperson heard Du Huimin, Su Yurou, and Su Wan’s conversation and her heart skipped a beat. The three of them knew one another. Had she said something wrong just now?
Could this girl, Su Wan, have influential backing?
Looking at Su Yurou’s feign, Su Wan ignored her completely. She tilted her head sideways to look at the salesperson and spoke with a gentle but firm voice.
“Could you please return the suit to me?”
The salesperson could see that Su Wan and Su Yurou were not in good terms. She looked at Su Yurou as if seeking for help, not wanting to offend this extravagant regular customer of theirs.
“Miss Su, what do you think?”
Su Yurou shot a glance at the salesperson impatiently and snorted coldly in her heart. Then, she raised her brows while looking at Su Wan.
“Wan, this is menswear. Who are you buying this for? It couldn’t be for Zihang, could it?”
Su Wan gave up on Su Yurou’s imagination. At this moment, she didn’t want the Su family to know of her marriage to Jiang Xuecheng. So, for a moment, she didn’t know how to answer.
As the style of this suit was for young people, she could not say it was for her grandfather, could she?
Just when Su Wan was hesitating, Lin Fei’er came with her selection of clothes.
When she saw Su Yurou and Du Huimin surrounding Su Wan, she dashed towards Su Wan and came to her rescue.
“Su Yurou, do you think everyone likes the scumbag you’ll be marrying? I feel embarrassed on your behalf. Don’t you know that overthinking is an illness? I want to buy this suit for Li Peng. Wan is just helping me hold it!”
When Du Huimin heard Lin Fei’er describing her son as a scumbag, she put on a long face.
Although she knew her son wronged Su Wan in many ways, he was still her biological son. Du Huimin would definitely defend Gu Zihang unconditionally.
Du Huimin pointed at Lin Fei’er angrily. Her face was extremely angry as she snapped, “What nonsense are you saying?”
Lin Fei’er ignored the exasperated Du Huimin. Holding Su Wan’s hand, she smiled, “You’ve got to accept what others say if you have done something wrong.”
Du Huimin saw that Su Wan did not rebut Lin Fei’er but rather smiled. Her favorable impression of Su Wan had instantly dropped by half.
She had not expected Su Wan to be a person who did not see the big picture. Su Wan and Zihang were separated in the past three years. One was in Jiuzhou and one was in Dong Chen, so wasn’t a break up normal?
Su Wan had allowed others to defame Zihang. She had thought Su Wan had matured a lot just now.
The more Du Huimin thought of it, the angrier she got. She stared at Su Yurou and with a grumpy face, she said, “Let them have that suit. Let’s go!”
As she was speaking, Du Huimin marched out of the shop and left without turning back.
When Su Yurou knew that Du Huimin was angry because of Su Wan and Lin Fei’er, there was a sense of pleasure in her heart and was totally fine with Du Huimin showing her sour face.
Su Yurou walked over to Su Wan. Then, she took out an exquisite engagement invitation card from her handbag smilingly.
“Wan, I’ve misunderstood you just now. Sorry. I won’t fight with you over the suit but you must come to our engagement party. Without your blessing, Zihang and I will be sad.”
The red engagement invitation card with gold stamping shook in front of Su Wan’s eyes. Even without opening the card, Su Wan knew the names written in it would be Su Yurou and Gu Zihang.
Lin Fei’er saw that Su Wan was silent and thought she had recalled the memory of her past relationship with Gu Zihang and his betrayal at the sight of the invitation card, and that she was now sad.
Lin Fei’er’s heart ached for Su Wan and sneered at Su Yurou.
“I’ve not met anyone as shameless as you are, snatching someone else’s lover and still hoping to get that person’s blessing. Do you take the person as Mother Mary?”
There were thorns in Lin Fei’er’s words. Su Yurou’s body froze. At once, she lost her self-control.
Just as both of them were about to get into an argument, Su Wan took the red invitation card from Su Yurou’s hand.
“I can attend your engagement party, but I’m sorry I can’t give you and Gu Zihang my blessing.”
Su Wan spoke with a flat tone which was as cold as the marble which fell to the ground. Both Lin Fei’er and Su Yurou were stunned at what Su Wan said.
Lin Fei’er’s dark eyes blinked and she screamed in disbelief, “Wan, won’t you feel upset attending the engagement party of this b*tch and the scumbag?”
Su Yurou was extremely furious at having being called a b*tch in public by Lin Fei’er. Many customers who were selecting clothes stared at her.
Su Yurou was raging inside but when she heard that Su Wan willing to attend her engagement party, she restrained her emotions and feigned a smile.
“Wan, I’d be happy if you could come. I hope you’ll keep your promise!”
Then, Su Yurou walked out of the shop quickly. She would gain back the pride that she lost today during their engagement party!
She would let everyone see who the real madam of Zhuo Ye Group would be!
As for Su Wan, she was only a pitiful stepping stone!
It was on that day that they would publicly announce the transfer of Sheng Yuan Group’s shares, which originally belonged to Su Wan, to Gu Zihang!
She believed Su Wan wouldn’t be able to do anything when the whole world was watching.
When Su Yurou slowly got out of their sight, Lin Fei’er turned her head worriedly and asked Su Wan gently, “Wan, are you really going to attend their engagement party? Aren’t you afraid your boss at home would be unhappy?”
Su Wan massaged her knitted brows and beamed. “Actually, Xuecheng was the one who suggested that we attend the party. He says I just need to wait to watch the drama.”
Lin fei’er widened her eyes. She had heard that Jiang Xuecheng was evil-minded. Why was she worrying for Su Yurou and Gu Zihang upon hearing this?
If she were able to see Su Yurou and Gu Zihang embarrass themselves, it would be the happiest thing in life!
She was really looking forward!
Just when Lin Fei’er and Su Wan were talking, the salesperson beside them asked, “Do you still want this suit?”
