Chapter 258: Chapter 188 Waiting for a Good Price

"Nowadays, these little girls are really something, taking their boyfriends to high-end stores like ours while still in high school..."

"Psh, who knows if they can even afford it..." two sales associates whispered to one another.

After just a glance at their backs, Sui Yi stopped looking because Lin Yun called out, "Little boss, what do you think about this one?"

Jiang Chenyu had just walked out of the dressing room, naturally not in revealing clothes, as someone with Jiang Chenyu’s temperament would never agree to try them on, and Lin Yun wasn’t the type to force her, so the outfit she was wearing now was a retro-style long dress, with a cheongsam top and a flowing skirt, simple yet exquisitely made, with a slender silver chain slung at her waist, accentuating her figure, yet dignified and elegant, complementing Jiang Chenyu’s charming classical temperament, which left the sales associates starstruck...

"So beautiful!"

"Really..."

Was it the clothes that were beautiful, or the person?

Naturally, neither could be denied, as the handful of male students were all stunned, and the female students...

"I want this one!"

"You’re buying it for me!"

"But..."

"I want it!"

"Ha, Nanzi, just buy it, I mean our school beauty likes this dress..."

A few people egged on.

A female student had already pulled a tall boy into the store, walking past Sui Yi who sat on the side sofa, and went straight to the point, "Attendant, I want this one... How much does it cost?"

The sales associate frowned, looking at them, "This is the last one... Miss..."

Jiang Chenyu didn’t speak; her fingers gently fastened the buttons on her sleeve, her composed and steady temperament making her even more ethereal...

Lin Yun glanced at the two students and then looked towards Sui Yi; "Little boss, this one..."

It was only then that the students noticed the person sitting at the corner sofa.

The person stood up, walked over, and slid a card onto the table, a fingertip pressing down on it, making a light swipe: "Including the previous few."

Jiang Chenyu frowned, "No need, two sets will do."

Sui Yi: "The decision isn’t yours to make."

After saying that, he looked at the sales associate.

The sales associate shuddered inwardly, damn, what a powerful presence! And quickly responded, "Okay... I’ll go handle it right now..."

She couldn’t care less about those students, though the girl who had been sitting on the sofa all along was also quite young, she and the girl trying on the clothes clearly belonged to the same class of people, that type exuding the aura of ’I’m a rich, beautiful woman, I’m not short on money.’

And such presence significantly intimidated the students.

Especially when Sui Yi turned to watch them play out their drama with that look in his eyes...

Kneel!

The tall boy being hugged by the female student had already become stiff in expression.

"You... why are you here?"

Sui Yi glanced at Ye Chunan, leaning against the counter: "As you can see."

See for yourself, buying clothes, huh.

Maybe it was because Sui Yi’s eyes were too indifferent, or perhaps too profound, as if seeing through everything.

Ye Chunan immediately shrugged off the hand around his arm, while saying, "I was just out shopping with friends, it’s not like..."

He was so agitated as he tried to explain himself, the awkward urgency making the surrounding students quite astonished, as they all turned their gaze towards Sui Yi.

Who is this person? How does he know Ye Chunan?

But he hadn’t even finished his stumbling explanation...

"You should head back early, it’s getting late," Sui Yi interjected curtly.

Ye Chunan was left speechless, and somewhat angry and embarrassed.

At this point, the sales associate had already brought over the card reader, "Miss, the total is 7000 taels."

Sui Yi entered the password, retrieved his card, and Lin Yun took the clothes...

The trio left directly.

Once they were gone, someone finally asked Ye Chunan, "Nanzi, who was that beauty...?"

"So wealthy!"

"Damn, stunningly gorgeous! Nanzi, when did you meet someone like that!"

Ye Chunan frowned, and after a while said, "She’s that... cousin of mine."

A slightly shorter, chubby boy exclaimed, "Damn, didn’t you say she was ugly, tacky, and poor!"

This comment reached the ears of several sales associates nearby, causing their hands to tremble.

If she’s considered ugly, tacky, and poor, what would that make us?

The dust and dregs of the world?

Once they got into the car, Lin Yun didn’t mention what had just happened. If Ye Chunan were a relative of Sui Yi, then it wasn’t really something to brag about, that someone so young was already bringing a girlfriend and others to shop at high-end stores; and if not, then there was even less reason to bring it up.

On the other hand, the typically silent Jiang Chenyu seemed to have some interest in the incident and asked Sui Yi, "That person just now, was he your..."

"His mother is my aunt," Sui Yi replied indifferently.

"Aunt?" Jiang Chenyu quietly observed Sui Yi, as if confirming something.

Sui Yi turned his face to look at Jiang Chenyu, "It seems you’re more interested in me than in anything else."

Jiang Chenyu replied calmly, "Because you’re more intriguing than any other thing."

"Is that so? Welcome to keep being curious,"

"I will,"

Lin Yun’s hands shook as she drove. Why did she feel that the aura between these two... was freaking intense!

To prevent the spread of this strange atmosphere, she smiled and took the initiative to say, "Actually, it’s quite normal for students to date nowadays... As a high school senior, there must be many students at your school who have boyfriends or girlfriends... There must also be a lot of people chasing after you, right?"

This was not a question, she was certain that someone like Sui Yi would definitely be goddess-level at school.

Before Sui Yi could speak... Jiang Chenyu lifted her eyes, "Senior year? Is that a level of private tutoring studies?"

"Yeah," Lin Yun actually felt a bit puzzled herself, thinking is this girl amnesiac? Always talking about private tutoring, bellybands, and undergarments... Did she lose her memory after traveling through time? (Are you sure it was Miss Jiang who said that afterward?)

"Many students... are in a relationship?"

"Right," Lin Yun replied briskly.

"So, has Miss Sui fallen in love too?" Lin Yun was unable to respond this time.

Sui Yi turned her head to look at Jiang Chenyu again, always feeling that this girl was particularly curious about her... What was she probing for?

Of course, she was also probing her.

"No,"

"Why not? Aren’t many people in relationships? Miss Sui is so beautiful; surely, many people like you," Jiang Chenyu revealed a smile, asking tenderly.

Sui Yi briefly lowered her eyes, "Fate has not arrived."

Fate... How many people in this world can actually wait for their destined fate.

Jiang Chenyu also turned her face away, still looking out the window, seeing her lips parting and closing.

"That is very good... To talk about love during one’s time of private tutoring is to neglect one’s duties, a violation of propriety, worthy of being caged..."

Lin Yun nearly lost grip of the steering wheel...

Sui Yi: "...."

Was this girl a private tutor in the past?

--------

As soon as they saw Sui Yi, accompanied by Lin Yun and Jiang Chenyu, at Jiangdu Scenic Garden, people were quite surprised. First, Lin Yun had just resigned; second, Jiang Chenyu was too conspicuous!

With Gong Jiu in front, Liang Qing in the middle, and Jiang Chenyu at the back.

Birds of a feather flock together; beautiful women attract beautiful women, it indeed makes sense!

Because Sui Yi had been away these days, Liang Qing naturally hadn’t come, but she had contacted Sui Yi beforehand and knew the time of Sui Yi’s return. Hence, she came on that very night and was a bit surprised when she saw Jiang Chenyu and Lin Yun.

The key was her intense curiosity about Jiang Chenyu.

However, she was not a talkative person; after introducing herself to Lin Yun as Sui Yi’s exclusives chef, she diligently went off to cook the meals...

Lin Yun looked at Sui Yi, "Boss, how could you bear to let such a beautiful girl cook?"

Sui Yi’s answer was simple: "Because someone said beauty is a feast in itself, appetizing enough to accompany a meal."

These words made Liang Qing in the kitchen shake her hand, and Jiang Chenyu and Lin Yun also fell silent.

Clearly, Sui Yi was not the type to say such lewd things, so it could only have been...

Sui Yi’s phone rang.

Upon answering, a voice came through, "My dear husband~~, with spring in full bloom, will you not slowly make your return? I can hardly wait, each day feels like a year, I long to rend my heart in twain and see you..."

That trailing tone, that emphasis~~

It was hard to tell if they were speaking, singing, or wailing.

Both the kitchen and living room fell eerily silent.

The genuinely ancient Jiang Chenyu remained calm...

Sui Yi decisively hung up the phone, then looked at Jiang Chenyu, "You’ve seen something quite laughable."

Jiang Chenyu’s expression serene and gentle; "I haven’t seen the person, how could I laugh?"

Typical humor that kills the conversation.

"She will be here soon, and, she’s also very interested in you," Sui Yi’s gaze hinted at deeper meanings.

Jiang Chenyu profoundly understood that Sui Yi, when she rarely took action, would go big.

So...

"Does Miss Sui intend to sell me off?"

Sui Yi took off her coat, lifting her backpack, seemingly nonchalant.

"Waiting for a good price."

"...."

Lin Yun chuckled. Were these two about to start a dark-humored PK mode again? But could they please consider the emotional and intellectual quotient of the person nearby!

Regardless of how those three somewhat unfamiliar people in the living room and kitchen were dealing with their respective relationships, Sui Yi went straight to her room, placed her coat on the rack, and began taking things out of the backpack. Fifteen pieces of jewelry, their specific value hard to estimate, she did not set a psychological price, and those many Bamboo Carvings, temporarily stored at Elder Tang’s, waiting for Li Jingyan to deliver by car when the time comes.

As for company matters, Sui Yi had been involved up to this point, which already showed she took them seriously. But since the plan was in place, and the resources and content were ready, she entrusted Lin Yun with the tasks, and herself became somewhat unconcerned, contacting Ye Xiuling before showering to ask about the old lady’s condition and setting up a visit for the next day. However, the next day was clearly going to be busy...

Because...

After showering and changing into home casual wear, Sui Yi came out of the bathroom drying her hair and glanced at the transfer papers on the table.

Tomorrowshe had to report to the school...

Originally, she should have gone three days ago, but she had used the excuse of the old lady’s surgery to delay by three days...

If she calculated carefully, she had been away from school for quite a while now, and some of her schoolwork had fallen behind... (To be continued.
