Chapter 786: 0775 Can you help out?

Because in her eyes, there was always a hint of helplessness and awkwardness.

Both of them were very clear that the Chu family and the Fu family were not only old friends but also business partners.

On the surface, they still needed to maintain cordial relations.

Therefore, even the wealthy families couldn’t always do as they pleased.

This was also why she hadn’t directly torn her face with Chu Xiyao.

Su Ran had no plans for shopping today, but as she walked by a men’s clothing store, her steps slowed down slightly.

Suddenly, the image of the man appeared in her mind.

Just yesterday she had been wondering what Qi Yuan would look like in clothes other than black, white, or gray.

After buying those cufflinks last time, she had suddenly become somewhat keen on buying things for men.

Imagining the man in different colors... hmm, hard to picture, so perhaps it’s better to see it in reality.

Tao Wanqing had been wrapped up by Chu Xiyao and couldn’t get away, but all the while, she kept an eye on Su Ran.

Seeing her slow down in front of a men’s clothing store, Tao also stopped.

Chu Xiyao asked in confusion, "What’s wrong, Auntie?"

Tao Wanqing was silent for two seconds, her eyes suddenly shining, and turned around.

"I suddenly feel like checking out the men’s section."

Chu Xiyao’s eyes flickered, the men’s section?

"Ah, Xiao Ran, do you have the same idea?"

Su Ran met Tao Wanqing’s sparkling eyes and nodded with a smile.

"I want to look at clothes for Ah Yuan..."

"I’m planning to pick out a suit for your dad..."

Their voices rose at the same time, perfectly in sync.

"Look at the rapport between us mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, thinking alike. Shall we go together then?"

"Okay."

"My son really is fortunate to have you think of him even when you’re out shopping."

To Tao Wanqing’s teasing, Su Ran was not at all shy but replied with a smile:

"Dad is also very fortunate. Mom, you think of dad all the time. You really have a great relationship, and dad must love you very much!"

"Hehe, that’s right! I am your dad’s first love, after all."

Su Ran: "..."

What’s with this sudden onslaught of PDA?

However, there was someone who couldn’t stand to see their harmony.

Standing aside, Chu Xiyao smiled and shot Su Ran a scornful look before saying to Tao Wanqing:

"Auntie, Uncle Fu and Qi Yuan always wear bespoke clothes. These clothes from the mall aren’t really suitable for them, are they?"

Upon hearing this, Tao Wanqing’s smile faded slightly, but her tone remained gentle.

"Xiyao, you wouldn’t understand since you don’t have a boyfriend. Men need romance too. Compared to tailor-made clothes by craftsmen, nothing beats the care and consideration from us wives who personally select their clothes. Besides, in a marriage, it’s not about what’s suitable, it’s about willingness!"

Chu Xiyao bit her lip, her face changing color.

Qi Yuan had once said the same thing to her!

So, was she the one he was unwilling to choose?

She cast a veiled glance at Tao Wanqing, somewhat at a loss about her attitude today.

Su Ran stood on the side, her lips merely curving up, not saying a word.

But in her heart, she gave her mother-in-law a thumbs-up!

Well done, veteran. Such combat strength!

Ordinary people simply couldn’t cope with it!

Yet, Tao Wanqing was somewhat worried. With her son’s charm, looks, physique, and presence, he was bound to attract a lot of admirers.

If her daughter-in-law’s combativeness was this low, how would she deal with them?

It seems that in addition to teaching her "The Way to Tame a Husband," she’d also have to teach her how to "Annihilate Rivals"!

Tao Wanqing thought to herself, completely forgetting the incident where Su Ran had just left someone speechless.

The trio walked straight into the store, and the sales associate hurried over to greet them.

Both Su Ran and Tao Wanqing’s gazes fell on the clothes, looking very focused and not speaking, leaving Chu Xiyao somewhat neglected for a moment.

However, Chu Xiyao was not someone who would let herself be overlooked. She glanced at the clothes in front of her and said to Su Ran with a smile,

"I grew up with Qi Yuan since we were kids, so I know his tastes quite well. Do you need me to help you choose?"

Su Ran’s eyes remained on the counter, not even glancing at her, simply responding,

"Miss Chu likes to pick clothes for other people’s men?"

Chu Xiyao’s face suddenly changed, "What do you mean? I am just kindly offering to help you!"

Su Ran still didn’t look at her, "There are so many men in the world, can Miss Chu help them all?"

"You..."

"It’s better for Miss Chu to help someone else, I don’t need it!"

Su Ran directly choked her words back, continuing her browsing.

Chu Xiyao clenched her teeth and walked over to Tao Wanqing with a look of grievance, but Tao Wanqing, focused on the clothes in front of her, didn’t notice her.

Feeling frustrated, she took a deep breath, and her elegant and graceful voice rang out.

"Auntie, what kind of clothes do you want to buy for Uncle Fu? Let me help you choose?"

Hearing this, Tao Wanqing furrowed her brows, but Chu Xiyao didn’t notice.

Chu Xiyao picked up a suit and handed it to Tao Wanqing, "Auntie, look at this one, I think it suits Uncle Fu very well."

Tao Wanqing just looked at the suit in Chu Xiyao’s hand without taking it.

"Auntie?" Seeing Tao Wanqing hadn’t responded for a long time, Chu Xiyao called out again.

At this point, Tao Wanqing looked up at her with a serious expression.

"Xiyao, thank you for your kindness, but I don’t like other women selecting clothes for my husband."

Chu Xiyao’s expression froze, and then her face turned crimson red.

"Auntie, I didn’t mean anything else..."

"Of course, Auntie knows you didn’t mean anything else, but Auntie is the jealous type and can’t stand any nonsense, so don’t take it to heart!"

Chu Xiyao tugged awkwardly at her lips, "No... I won’t."

"What a well-mannered and magnanimous girl!"

At that moment, Su Ran walked up to them, "Mom, you have a look on your own; I’m going to look around."

Tao Wanqing raised an eyebrow, "Don’t you need me to check for you?"

Su Ran shook her head, "No need, I understand Ah Yuan better than you do, just like you understand Dad!"

Hearing this, Tao Wanqing’s eyes crinkled with laughter, then she nodded her head.

"You’re right, what mother could understand better than her daughter-in-law? You go ahead!"

Su Ran’s words truly pleased Tao Wanqing!

Speaking, indeed, is an art.

As a wife, isn’t she the one who understands her own husband the best in the world?

She had just been worried that this girl wouldn’t be able to handle a rival in love, but now it seemed she was worried for nothing!

Perhaps in her heart, the other party wasn’t even worth being called a rival!

So from the very beginning, she had been outright ignored!

Ignoring, indeed, is the greatest humiliation!

More than enough!

Great!

After Su Ran spoke, she turned and walked away, not giving Chu Xiyao even a spare glance.

Meanwhile, the sales associates who had been following the trio couldn’t help but admire Su Ran.

In their line of work, it was impossible not to know R, a big name in the design world.

R was just as formidable as she was in the live streams, leaving that woman speechless in just a few sentences!

Picking out clothes for her own husband, and there’s an outsider meddling for no reason?

Doesn’t she feel embarrassed?
