Chapter 758: 0747 Unexpected Encounter with a Weirdo

The business at Qianran International was thriving, and Su Ran’s heart gradually settled down.

Remembering what she had talked about with Ling Qingan before, she decided to use her free time today to go out for a stroll.

The Ling Family used to be a well-known affluent family in Yong City, but they were taken over jointly by the Wen Family and the Yin Family.

After the Ling Family’s downfall, they relocated abroad. Now seeking a comeback, the difficulty of rising again was immense.

There were many jewelry stores in the country with over a century of history, yet in the past two years, the Yin Family had expanded rapidly, with their brands charging forward irresistibly.

For the Ling Family, intervening midway, it was simply impossible to compete directly with the century-old brands.

Moreover, times had changed, and most people were fond of beauty and fashion. For a new brand hoping to rise, survival hinged on navigating tight spaces.

No wonder Ling Qingan had gone to such places looking for investors, presumably out of desperation.

Su Ran called up Ye Zhichen and the two of them went out shopping together.

But they didn’t head to the luxury-brand-packed Global Mall; instead, they went to a fashion street.

Fashion Street was naturally famous for fashion; anything connected with fashion could be found there without fail.

Upon entering Fashion Street, an overwhelming sense of fashion hit them.

Passersby bustling along the street were all stylishly dressed, each with their own flair, a feast for the eyes.

A dazzling array of clothes, cosmetics, jewelry, and accessories left one scarcely able to attend to it all.

Seeing this, Ye Zhichen couldn’t help but sigh helplessly.

"Being in a place like this truly makes me feel very far from fashion."

Su Ran didn’t share this sentiment; after all, she was the internationally renowned R, and she always needed to observe the latest fashion trends for design inspiration.

"For a boss of an entertainment company, do you really think it’s appropriate to say that?"

Apart from such places, the closest thing to fashion was probably the entertainment circle.

Ye Zhichen shrugged her shoulders. "Being a boss of an entertainment company doesn’t mean I can keep up with such avant-garde fashion, right? Where are we heading next?"

"Let’s check out that jewelry store up ahead."

"Then let’s go!"

At those words, Ye Zhichen, brimming with excitement, pulled Su Ran towards the store in the distance.

It had been a long time since she had gone out shopping and, after getting pregnant, such leisure time had become extremely rare.

Before long, the two of them were standing in front of a jewelry store. Su Ran looked up at the logo above them, then her gaze shifted to another jewelry store next door, with a slight sigh in her heart.

Right next to the Ling Family’s jewelry store was surprisingly one belonging to the Yin Family.

Could it really be such a coincidence?

Both stores had similar décor and size, but when it came to business, they were worlds apart.

"Huh? There are two jewelry stores here, and their styles are quite similar. Xiao Ran, which one shall we go to?"

Su Ran glanced at Ye Zhichen, then looked at both stores again, and pointed to the one in front, saying:

"Let’s go there first."

Ye Zhichen nodded; the business of that store seemed better, and undoubtedly, the jewelry inside must be quite nice as well.

Once inside, they began to leisurely browse. Compared to Ye Zhichen’s enthusiasm, Su Ran seemed a lot more composed.

Her demeanor suggested that she was not so much shopping as she was inspecting.

Such an air made the nearby sales assistant nervous, worried that it was a top executive conducting an inspection.

After making a round, Su Ran asked for Ye Zhichen’s opinion.

"What do you think?"

Ye Zhichen glanced over the jewelry on display and furrowed her brows.

"It’s pretty much the same as other jewelry stores: quite beautiful."

Ye Zhichen’s words also clearly conveyed another underlying message, everything was roughly similar.

Su Ran didn’t mind either. After another round, they finally took a liking to a jade Ding Dang Bracelet with a delicate design that wasn’t complicated.

After going around twice, this was the piece of jewelry Su Ran was most satisfied with.

"Let me take a look at this bracelet."

"Of course, please wait a moment."

Upon hearing this, the sales associate opened the counter, put on gloves, and placed the bracelet on the countertop.

Su Ran held the bracelet, carefully examined it for a moment, and asked Ye Zhichen beside her.

"Does it look nice?"

Ye Zhichen nodded, "It’s crystal clear, simple yet very delicate, quite pretty indeed."

The sales associate beamed with an even broader smile upon hearing this.

"You ladies have great taste. This bracelet is one of the best-selling pieces of jewelry in our store. It’s the latest model, made of jade. The overall width is comparatively slim, with White Jade Lily of the Valley adorning the gap, and in the center of the Lily of the Valley are natural seawater pearls. Wearing the two bracelets together, they will make a crisp Ding Dang sound, and that’s why it is called the Ding Dang Bracelet! Currently, there’s only this one set left!"

After listening to the description, Su Ran nodded with satisfaction.

"Mm, I’ll take this Ding Dang Bracelet, wrap it up for me!"

"Alright, just one moment, please."

The sales associate’s smile grew even deeper, knowing that this Ding Dang Bracelet, though exquisite and beautiful, was not cheap.

The material of jade coupled with natural seawater pearls is a combination that most people simply can’t afford.

The young miss before them didn’t even ask about the price and didn’t show any sign of distress on her face, signaling she likely wasn’t short of money.

As Su Ran handed over the bracelet, the sales associate reached out to take it, but another delicate, fair hand stretched over.

"Oh, this bracelet is so lovely."

A charming female voice suddenly sounded beside Su Ran who, at the same time, saw her item being taken away.

Su Ran’s eyebrows knit slightly, and a chill gathered between her brows.

She looked up and turned to see a young, beautiful woman with delicate makeup and designer clothes standing at her side.

The woman held the bracelet, examining it closely, seemingly enamored with it.

"Mom, look, isn’t this bracelet beautiful?"

Behind the young woman came a middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman’s face was well-maintained, although her makeup was thickly applied, and her attire was demure and refined.

It might have been Su Ran’s imagination, but she felt there was something familiar about this person’s eyes and brows.

"It is quite beautiful."

Upon glancing at the bracelet in the young woman’s hands, the middle-aged woman nodded, exuding an air of nobility and elegance.

However, it all seemed a bit too apparent!

"That’s perfect, Auntie’s birthday is coming up in a few days, and this bracelet would be just right for her."

The young woman spoke joyfully and then turned to the sales associate:

"I’ll take this bracelet, please wrap it up for me!"

"This..." The sales associate appeared embarrassed and looked at Su Ran with a troubled expression.

Sitting on the stool in front of the counter, Su Ran heard the woman’s words, raised her eyebrows slightly, and then said with an indifferent face:

"I’m sorry Miss, but I was the first to take an interest in this bracelet."

"I’m sorry, miss, but the young lady beside you already took an interest in this bracelet." the sales associate said apologetically.

Hearing this, the woman finally noticed Su Ran sitting beside her, and when she saw Su Ran’s exquisitely beautiful face, a hint of envy flashed across her eyes.

Her smile immediately cooled down, and she looked arrogantly at the sales associate.

"Did she reserve this bracelet in advance?"
