Chapter 384 - Qingsang Doesn’t Have A Sister Like You

Chapter 384: Qingsang Doesn’t Have A Sister Like You

As she spoke, Su Peizhen threw the shop assistant a look. “Didn’t you hear me? Get your boss out here.”

“Miss Su?” That shop assistant had a whole new attitude towards Su Peizhen. She bowed slightly and said, a little embarrassed, “I’ll get him right now.”

She could afford to offend Xiang Caiping, who seemed to be unable to afford the item in question. However, she couldn’t allow herself to slight Su Peizhen

“That’s right. A harmonious approach always brings wealth. We must have the right attitude even towards those who are unreasonable and unable to afford things. Am I right?”

Su Peizhen looked as if she was talking to the shop assistant, but she was actually looking at Xiang Caiping.

The meaning within her words was very obvious — don’t buy it if you can’t afford it. Don’t even bother looking at it.

Xiang Caiping’s brows were knitted tightly together. The dislike towards Su Peizhen was very apparent.

It wasn’t just plain dislike. When she thought about how much Su Peizhen had bullied Su Qingsang in the dark over the years, she really despised this girl.

“Miss Su, it seems like this is none of your business.”

“It’s really none of my business, but Qingsang and I, after all, are like sisters. I should be looking out for her mother too, don’t you think so?”

Looking out for me? More like entertaining yourself with the drama, right? Xiang Caiping refused to believe that Su Peizhen would be so generous.

“Auntie. Actually, it’s totally fine if you can’t afford it. I’ll buy it for you. After all, I won’t mind spending a few hundred thousand at all.”

Su Peizhen said this in an extremely casual manner as if a few hundred thousand was a mere trifle.

Xiang Caiping detested Su Peizhen’s behavior. Truthfully, she never understood how a gentleman like Su Chenghui managed to bring up a daughter like that.

“No thanks. I can afford it.”

“Is that so?” Su Peizhen didn’t believe that. From how she saw it, although Huo Jinyao must be rich, he wouldn’t just let Xiang Caiping dip her hand into his money.

It was rumored that Xiang Caiping came from an ordinary background — it was impossible that she was loaded.

Now she claimed she can afford a jade pendant priced at a few hundred thousand? What kind of joke was this?

“Auntie. Are you sure about that? It’s better to stay humble than to keep up a facade.”

Su Peizhen turned around and glanced at the jade Buddha. This woman had a pretty exquisite taste. She lifted her gaze and fixed them upon the shop assistant. “How much did you say this piece of jade was?”

“Miss Su, the original price of that jade piece is 550,000. As we are currently having a New Year promotion, there’s a 20% off all jade accessories. After the discount, it’ll be 440,000.”

“440,000?” Su Peizhen nodded approvingly at the jade Buddha. “That’s not expensive at all. Auntie, let me buy it for you as a gift.”

“There’s no need to. I don’t want it anymore.”

Xiang Caiping’s initial enthusiasm at getting her daughter a gift had now completely dissipated.

She turned to leave. However, Su Peizhen took a step forward and blocked her off. “Why, don’t be hasty, Auntie. I’ve already told you, I’ll buy it for you. Why’re you leaving already?”

“Out of my way!” Xiang Caiping glared at Su Peizhen, her expression turning sour.

“Would you ladies look at that — how ungrateful.” Su Peizhen stole a glance at Madam Luo and Madam Song. “I was just being nice. Look, I wanted to get it for her as a gift, but my kindness isn’t appreciated — isn’t this weird?”

Madam Luo and Madam Song would be an absolute waste of space if they still failed to make out the animosity between Su Peizhen and Xiang Caiping.

Thinking quickly, Madam Luo stepped forward and stood beside Xiang Caiping. “Madam, Peizhen is being a good girl. Since she said she’ll get it for you as a gift, just accept it.”

“That’s right.” Madam Song also stepped forward and occupied the space on Xiang Caiping’s other side. “It must be truly rare for you to see a jade of such quality in your lifetime.”

Those words were difficult to stomach. Trapped on either side by the two of them, Xiang Caiping had an ill expression on her face.

“Su Peizhen. What’re you playing at?”

“Auntie, now, what are you being so impatient for? I’ve already told you — if you can’t afford this jade pendant, I’ll buy it for you. Take it as a filial act fulfilled on behalf on Qingsang.”

When Su Peizhen reached this point, she suddenly locked eyes with Xiang Caiping. “Oh right, why didn’t Qingsang accompany you to shop today? Won’t you miss her very much? I really must tell her off for this.”

“Don’t you dare look for her!” The way Xiang Caiping looked at it, her own daughter was, of course, the best in her eyes. “Stay away from her.”

The expression on Su Peizhen’s face was a horrible one. She stood and glared at Xiang Caiping with immense hatred, thinking that this woman was horribly despicable.

“Aww, now look, Auntie. It’s wrong of you to say that. I’m Qingsang’s elder sister, how can I stay away from her?”

Was there anything else that Madam Luo and Madam Song didn’t understand when they heard that? The two exchanged looks, watching the doubt vanishing within each other’s eyes.

In that fateful year, Li Qianxue had married a penniless brat regardless of her status. That had become the most-gossiped topic in the affluent community.

The even more laughable thing was that this penniless brat had a childhood sweetheart, with whom he had an illegitimate daughter.

This story had reached all corners of the social scene of Lin City’s affluent community. Judging by how Su Peizhen was acting, this woman must be the homewrecker who had been colluding with Su Chenghui back then, right?

Madam Luo and Madam Song seemed to understand the situation unfolding before them.

It was a pretty common thing for the legal family and the homewrecker to find each other disagreeable. This homewrecker must’ve done something that provoked the heiress of the Su family.

Madam Luo and Madam Song were socialites. They might not have dabbled in the business scene, but they were well aware of the people their husbands had connections with. In addition, they were very familiar with the social scene in Lin City.

If Su Peizhen wanted to get even, they would definitely help her out.

When Xiang Caiping heard what Su Peizhen had said, she didn’t relax at all. Instead, the displeasure etched deeper into her face. “Qingsang doesn’t have an elder sister. Don’t you dare establish relations like that.”

Of course, Su Peizhen would never want to acknowledge a younger sister like Su Qingsang. However, what she said to Xiang Caiping was a completely different matter.

“Auntie, you don’t seem to have the right to help Qingsang decide whether or not she wants to acknowledge my presence, do you? After all, my relationship with Qingsang isn’t something that can be denied even if you wanted it to be.”

Xiang Caiping remained where she was and stared at both Madam Luo and Madam Song, her brows furrowing slightly. “Step aside, the two of you.”

“The boss isn’t here yet. Don’t be hasty, auntie.”

Su Peizhen gave that shop assistant a look. “What? How much more arrogant can your boss get? He can’t be bothered to tend to us even if I’m here with Aunt Luo and Aunt Song?”

“That simply isn’t the case, Miss Su. Our boss will be here in a moment.”

As she spoke, a lean, middle-aged man emerged from the back.

“Now, who else could it be? Miss Su has graced us with her presence, as well as Madam Luo and Madam Song! Just let me know what you want, I’ll have it sent to your residences personally.”

The shopkeeper had been conducting the jade business in Lin City for quite some time already. He was pretty close to Su Chenghui, and he was more than eager to please Old Master Li.

Moreover, who in Lin City wasn’t aware of the newly established relationship between the Li Corporation and the Tianyu Group? Their influence now was unrivaled, and that was enough to keep the shopkeeper’s attitude in check.

The young master of the Huo Family was well-known in the Rong City. Having been brought up in a military, political, and business family, he was decisive in dealing with businesses, yet sexually continent as it was said. Nevertheless, he happened to fall in love with an illegitimate daughter.

The disgraceful illegitimate daughter had been detested by her whole family, but suddenly won the love of the young master of the Huo Family.

Since then, he turned into a “s*ave” of his wife and pampered her.

Mrs. Huo: “They say I am an illegitimate daughter, and totally out of your league.”

Master Huo: “Who has such a big mouth! I’m gonna sew it up!”

Mrs. Huo started circling on his chest with a finger, “They also say you’ll get tired of me sooner or later.”

Master Huo held his wife into his arms, proving his love to her with practical actions, “Nonsense! My wife’s body is soft and easy to be pushed down to bed, how come I will get tired of you!?”

Mrs. Huo: “Pervert!”
