Qiao Yubo’s face was even more embarrassed at the side.
Upon hearing this, Su Ran slightly raised an eyebrow.
You little brat, you have quite the poison tongue!
Fu Yizhi snorted coldly, snatched the clothes from Yang Yuxin’s hands and handed them to the sales associate.
The sales associate looked troubled, glancing at Fu Yizhi and then at Yang Yuxin.
She couldn’t afford to offend either of them.
Seeing this, Yang Yuxin scoffed and provocatively glanced at Fu Yizhi before commanding the sales associate,
"I want this outfit, wrap it up for me!"
Fu Yizhi’s face turned red with anger, puffing her cheeks as she said,
"Yang Yuxin, have you no shame? This outfit was clearly first spotted by Shuyun."
"So what if she saw it first? Don’t you even know the relationship between this shop and me? Even if she saw it first, it still depends on my mood. If I’m not happy, she has to obediently hand it over!!"
Hearing this, Su Ran’s brows finally furrowed, and her previously expressionless face now hooked into a cold curve.
Nan Shuyun pulled at Fu Yizhi, who still wanted to step forward and argue, and said softly,
"All right, all right, Yizhi, it’s just an outfit, I don’t want it anymore..."
"Why not? It was clearly you who saw it first. Why should you give it to her?"
Qiao Yubo looked at Nan Shuyun’s undignified figure and, recalling his past with her, felt as disgusted as if he had eaten excrement.
Yang Yuxin came from a good background, was attractive and had a good figure.
She was many times better than Nan Shuyun’s stick-like figure and that face which was always wearing black-rimmed glasses looking dejected and dispirited.
There was simply no comparison between them; even a fool would know which to choose.
Su Ran looked at the haughty Yang Yuxin and the smug Qiao Yubo and suddenly let out a cold laugh.
"Sister Su." Seeing Su Ran, Fu Yizhi’s stubborn expression suddenly vanished, and she looked at her with a pitiful gaze.
And upon noticing Su Ran’s sudden appearance, both Yang Yuxin and Qiao Yubo turned their gaze onto her.
"Who are you?" Qiao Yubo asked in a deep voice.
The moment Yang Yuxin’s gaze fell on Su Ran, her eyebrows furiously knitted together.
"Why is it you again?!"
With that one sentence, she successfully drew the attention of everyone present.
Qiao Yubo frowned and looked down at the woman in his arms.
"Darling, do you know her?"
Yang Yuxin bit her teeth in anger but didn’t answer the man’s question.
Su Ran ignored them both, took the outfit from the sales associate’s hands, and stood in front of Nan Shuyun, staring at her steadily.
"Shuyun, tell me, do you give up this outfit, or not?"
Feeling the chill of strength and the defiant confidence emanating from Su Ran, Nan Shuyun felt a jolt in her heart.
It was just a small gesture, but the air about her was something that flowed from the marrow.
It was what she had always longed for.
Moreover, she knew that the person before her was asking if she truly wanted to change.
It seemed like a casual question, yet it was related to her life.
Nan Shuyun clenched her fists, her palms starting to sweat.
And Qiao Yubo, having been ignored, directed his fury at Nan Shuyun and coldly said,
"Nan Shuyun, the outfit isn’t yours. Give it back to Yuxin."
Su Ran continued to wait for her answer, ignoring the man who spoke as if it were a matter of course.
Qiao Yubo’s words, however, caused Nan Shuyun’s eyes to tremble.
She looked up, looked at Su Ran, and firmly said, "No."
Su Ran nodded in satisfaction and turned to face the man whose complexion had darkened to the extreme.
"What identity are you using to demand her now, a cheating ex-boyfriend? Or a fair-weather, childhood friend?"
Su Ran’s words made Qiao Yubo’s face suddenly stiffen with the humiliation of being exposed.
Su Ran didn’t pay him any more attention, instead setting her gaze on the woman who had once fought with her for a bracelet.
"Miss Yang, is it? How about it, does Miss Yang want to compete who has more money in their account?"
"You..." Yang Yuxin’s face flushed with embarrassment.
Su Ran looked towards Chu Xiyao, who was walking this way, and with a grin said:
"Miss Yang, do you know who I am?"
Yang Yuxin was stunned by Su Ran’s question, then examined her closely, and after a moment, her face showed shock.
"You... you’re the international designer... R?"
Su Ran smiled, "Since you recognize me, you must have watched the global broadcast. So do you know what I’m best at?"
Yang Yuxin glanced at Su Ran, took two steps back, and retreated into Qiao Yubo’s embrace.
"What... what do you mean?"
Seeing her reaction, Su Ran chuckled softly.
"What I’m best at is making someone’s reputation crumble while at the same time becoming world-famous. Look how popular my sister is now; the whole world knows her. So Miss Yang, did you not enjoy the global broadcast enough and now want me to send you off in that manner?! "
"Don’t... don’t come any closer..."
Su Ran’s tone was calm, but in Yang Yuxin’s ears, it sounded like a chilling sweat!
Pressing herself even closer to Qiao Yubo’s chest, her expression was one of sheer panic and insecurity.
Qiao Yubo quickly held her tight, his gaze angry as he stared at Su Ran, "Don’t go too far!"
Su Ran let out a sneer, "Mr. Qiao, when women are talking, you should keep your mouth shut! And since you like being kept by a woman, you should do it quietly, not disturb the peace by strutting about."
This accusation was somewhat unfair to Qiao Yubo. Though the Qiao family couldn’t compare to the Chu family, they were well-matched with the Yang family.
Otherwise, with Yang Yuxin’s haughty demeanor, she wouldn’t even consider him!
But this didn’t cover up the fact that he had opportunistically abandoned his childhood sweetheart girlfriend to cheat with another woman.
Qiao Yubo’s face turned alternating shades of green and white!
Fu Yizhi and Nan Shuyun’s eyes went wide, looking at Su Ran with admiration.
Instant annihilation!
Sister Su is so awesome!!
"What’s wrong? Yuxin."
At that moment, Chu Xiyao’s serious voice came through, feigning ignorance.
"Cousin, you’re here," said Yang Yuxin with a delighted face upon seeing Chu Xiyao.
The nearby store manager and sales associates, seeing her, quickly came forward to greet her with respect.
Chu Xiyao nodded slightly, looking at the three people across from her.
"Miss Su, Yizhi, Shuyun, what happened here?"
Su Ran smiled, Miss Su?
"Cousin, this woman..."
"So this is a brand under the Chu family, it is indeed... less impressive in person than one has heard."
"What do you mean?!" Yang Yuxin said angrily.
Chu Xiyao’s eyes flashed with a passing shade of menace, she could clearly catch the sarcasm in Su Ran’s tone.
But in the next second, she concealed the emotion in her eyes, looked up at the clothes in Su Ran’s hands, and said with a smile:
"Miss Su, are you here to buy clothes? It just so happens that this store belongs to my family’s chain, Miss Su can take a look if there’s anything she likes."
