Chapter 774: 0763 Step two, give tit for tat

Dressed in a light blue Cheongsam, her feminine grace was fully displayed.

Nan Shuyun had a slender and exquisite figure, a waist that could hardly be grasped, slim shoulders, a beautifully contoured back, a generous swan-neck curve, and a pair of straight, long legs.

She exemplified the classic soft beauty of the Eastern woman to the fullest extent.

She gave off a sense of being delicate yet noble and elegant.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Nan Shuyun couldn’t snap back to reality.

Even her shocked expression seemed to come alive.

Su Ran, watching the person frozen in place, couldn’t help but curve her lips into a smile.

"Pretty, isn’t it?"

Without speaking, Nan Shuyun’s almond eyes shone with a new vitality.

Su Ran was also very satisfied with her masterpiece, paid for it, and then left the store with the two of them.

Even upon getting into the car, Nan Shuyun was still somewhat in a daze.

Her gaze lingered on Su Ran.

"What are you staring at me for?" Su Ran met her gaze, tilted her head, and asked with a light smile.

"Why... why did you help me?"

After much struggle, Nan Shuyun managed to ask the question, her heart inevitably tense.

Su Ran raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Because I find you pleasing to look at."

Nan Shuyun was stunned, then her face turned beet red, not knowing what to do with herself.

Seeing this, Su Ran couldn’t help but chuckle, then looked up at her again.

"Probably because... I never let myself suffer a loss!"

Fu Yizhi still wore a puzzled expression, while Nan Shuyun fell silent.

She had caught on to some things earlier, but had not asked too many questions.

Now, however, she was suddenly curious.

"Isn’t there a saying, ’Take a step back, and the sea and sky are boundless’?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ran let out a cold laugh.

"I never heard ’take a step back and the sea and sky are boundless,’ all I know is ’take a step back and they’ll climb all over your head’.

Sometimes it’s not a matter of you provoking others, it’s whether others will leave you alone."

"Have they left you alone?"

Nan Shuyun’s eyelashes trembled slightly, "Then... what should I do?"

With a hooked lip, Su Ran looked straight at her with a cool gaze, then suddenly leaned over, coming a bit closer.

"Next, I’ll teach you the second step."

"What is it?" Nan Shuyun’s cheeks were flushed.

Su Ran: "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!"

Nan Shuyun was startled.

Su Ran brushed a stray hair from her forehead, and spoke softly:

"So if someone disgusts you, disgust them back. How about it? Want to join in?"

Due to Su Ran’s gesture, Nan Shuyun’s face, originally flushed with embarrassment, now showed pure shock after she grasped Su Ran’s words.

Thinking of the three non-sale exhibit items in the trunk and the look of heartache on Miss Chu’s face, her eyebrows involuntarily twitched.

"You think that wasn’t enough?"

Su Ran nodded affirmatively, and said as a matter of course, "Yep, I like to double down."

Nan Shuyun twitched the corner of her mouth, "Those who offend you really have bad luck."

Su Ran raised her brows, not denying it.

"If they aren’t the unlucky ones, then I would be. So it’s better to make others the unlucky ones!"

Nan Shuyun’s expression flickered, her eyes filled with envy and longing as she looked at Su Ran.

If she could possess that confidence and skill, she wouldn’t have been abandoned by her family.

"What are you thinking about?"

Nan Shuyun exhaled softly, "I think you’re very impressive and smart. I wish I could be like you."

Su Ran arched her brows and said, "Then show me your designs."

Nan Shuyun didn’t understand why, but she felt uneasy under the smile on Su Ran’s face as if she were prey being watched by a ferocious predator.

Yet, she didn’t want to refuse; this was the first time someone had shown interest in her designs.

-

The Fu family’s Qi Yuan, who had been waiting for Su Ran’s return for a long time, was growing increasingly grim-faced.

Throughout this period, he checked his phone frequently, but he never managed to get through to the girl’s phone, fearing that he’d interrupt her shopping spree.

It wasn’t until noon that he had the kitchen prepare a table full of dishes, yet the girl still hadn’t come back.

Finally, Qi Yuan couldn’t hold back any longer.

At this moment, in Qi Yuan’s separate courtyard.

Qin Feng stood respectfully to one side, feeling as if a cold wind was sweeping across his face, almost freezing him into an icicle.

"So, they went to the mall, then to the eyeglasses store, and after that had lunch together, and they still don’t plan to come back?"

Qin Feng couldn’t help but his mouth twitch at the corners, the same words but why did it sound like President Fu added a touch of pathos and grievance when saying them?

It’s just a morning apart, is that really necessary?

Is this the same illustrious and invincible President Fu he knew?

Qin Feng glanced at the "Longing-for-Wife Stone" standing immovable on the sofa.

Alright!

President Fu was no longer the President Fu from the beginning!

Qin Feng lowered his head deeply, not responding to Qi Yuan’s question.

The saying goes: serving the emperor is like living with a tiger!

If he dared to answer with a "yes" now, tomorrow would mark the anniversary of his death.

Without receiving a response from Qin Feng, Qi Yuan’s stern gaze landed on his face, "Hmm?"

Qin Feng shuddered and stealthily looked towards Fu Qixiu at his side.

Second Young Master, save me!!

Qin Feng felt somewhat like crying without tears, thinking about how he, President Fu’s top man and great steward...um, Special Assistant, was always rescuing others.

But now, he urgently needed saving by the Second Young Master!

Successfully receiving the distress signal of his brother in arms, Fu Qixiu awkwardly touched his nose.

No way around it, one must save those who they’ve mutually redeemed, he couldn’t just stand by.

Who knows, maybe one day he’ll take a tumble and need Qin Feng to rescue him too.

Fu Qixiu quickly pushed the dishes on the table towards Qi Yuan.

"Brother, don’t worry, sister-in-law will be back soon."

"Have some lunch first, this food has been reheated twice already, sister-in-law would feel bad to see this."

"Shall I give sister-in-law a call to ask when she’ll be returning?"

...

Fu Qixiu rattled off a bunch of words, yet his own brother remained unmoved, until finally.

"Brother, don’t be anxious, maybe sister-in-law has already returned, I’ll go check..."

As Fu Qixiu spoke, he stood up and just as he reached the window, he saw three people entering the yard.

His eyes lit up instantly, almost bursting into tears of joy.

Whimpering...

Sister-in-law, you’ve finally come back!

Fu Qixiu turned his head fiercely and began to bellow towards the person in the living room—

"Brother—come quickly—sister-in-law has returned—"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan immediately stood up from the sofa and walked to the window where Fu Qixiu was.

Seeing this, Qin Feng quietly moved closer as well.

Then, the three men stood side by side, watching as Su Ran happily led two girls into the main house’s living room, one on each side.

Fu Qixiu: "..."

Qin Feng: "..."

It turned out that the first thing Miss Xiao Ran did when she returned wasn’t to look for her dearest brother (President Fu).

The dearest brother (President Fu) is going to be angry again, right?

In the next second, the two felt a chill emanating from the person beside them and looked up.

Done!

His face had gone completely dark!

Fu Qixiu and Qin Feng felt somewhat regretful, thinking it might have been better if they hadn’t returned at all!

It simply couldn’t get any worse!
