Chapter 790: 0779 really live up to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship

The sales associate’s voice was exceptionally shrill, simultaneously snapping Chu Xiyao’s drifting thoughts back to reality.

Her face pale, she stared at the card in the cashier’s hand, a surge of jealousy and resentment engulfing her inside out!

Universal Card...

Qi Yuan actually gave the Universal Card to Su Ran.

These people have no clue about the true value of the Universal Card; as long as it’s under the Fu Consortium, possessing this card grants one unobstructed access.

And he gave such an important thing to Su Ran?

Why?

She doesn’t deserve it at all!

What is so good about this woman?

Tao Wanqing looked at the card, slightly arching her eyebrows.

Smart kid!

Assets surrendered!

Well done!

Knows how to live!

Trembling, the cashier cradled the Purple Card, stuttering as she asked:

"President Su... shall we... split the bill?"

"Yes, split it."

"Alright."

Seeing Su Ran say this, the cashier processed the transaction with the Purple Card.

"The total is 869,990 Yuan."

The cashier reported the amount, presented the bill for a signature from Su Ran.

Su Ran picked up the pen and smoothly, elegantly signed her name on the slip.

The action was completed in one go, stylish and pleasing to the eye!

"President Su, your card!"

Su Ran reached out to take it, sliding the card back into her wallet.

Fu Qiyuan had given her this card a long time ago, but she had never used it.

Firstly, she had her own money, and she could afford whatever she wanted, and in her belief, a woman doesn’t necessarily have to use a man’s money.

But Chu Xiyao never missed a chance to disgust her.

If she didn’t return the favor, she would simply be letting down the card Fu Qiyuan gave her!

Chu Xiyao, watching by the side, gnashed her teeth, especially seeing the row of cards in Su Ran’s wallet felt like poison seeping into her heart.

Her gaze turned to Tao Wanqing at her side.

"Sister-in-law, since Qi Yuan has already given you the Universal Card, why didn’t you also settle Auntie’s account? After all, isn’t it all coming from Qi Yuan’s generosity?"

Su Ran arched an eyebrow, "Why should I settle it together?"

"You... Auntie."

With malicious glee, Chu Xiyao glanced at Su Ran, then looked at Tao Wanqing with a face full of suppressed indignation.

All over her face was an expression of unfairness and sympathy for her.

Tao Wanqing subtly curled her lips at Su Ran, then sternly said:

"Tell me, why not settle it together?"

Su Ran tugged at her lips, slightly lowering her head.

"I’m sorry, Mom, but I don’t have a penchant for buying clothes for other women’s husbands."

Tao Wanqing’s face twisted momentarily, barely holding back laughter.

She glanced at Su Ran and said irritably, "’Other women’s husbands’? He’s your father-in-law."

Su Ran nodded, "Isn’t it your responsibility to buy clothes for your husband? If I paid for them, wouldn’t that make them my purchase? I believe you certainly would dislike it if another woman bought clothes for Dad.

Just like how I detest other women buying clothes for Ah Yuan, I always feel those people harbor ill intentions, and that includes you, Mom, even though you are Ah Yuan’s mother. But, I’m petty and easily jealous; I can’t stand a speck of dust in my eyes, Mom, please don’t take offense!!"

"..."

"..."

As soon as Su Ran made her statement, the store suddenly became silent.

The sales associates in the store tried to suppress their laughter as they looked at each other.

Should they say that President Su and this Madam were truly mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? Even their words are exactly the same.

Petty-minded and quick to jealousy, they can’t stand even a speck of sand in their eyes!

Pff...

Tao Wanqing thought about it seriously and then nodded, saying,

"You do have a point. I also don’t like other women buying clothes for my husband. We had an agreement, you buy for your husband, and I’ll buy for mine. What’s the sense in someone else paying for clothes bought for their own husband?"

A few sales associates struggled to keep their laughter in, their faces turning red as they glanced furtively yet directly at Chu Xiyao.

Yes! What’s the sense in someone else paying for the clothes bought for their own husband?

This ’someone else’ seems to refer to Su Ran, but the one who is truly awkward is another!

Chu Xiyao was gritting her teeth in anger, it took her tremendous effort to muster up a smile.

But the smile on her face was twisted and stiff, uglier than a cold face.

She turned her head to look at Tao Wanqing, falling slightly into thought.

Tao Wanqing sighed softly and gently patted Su Ran’s hand.

"I’m sorry, Xiao Ran. It’s my fault for losing my temper at you again. I used to have a quite good temper, I don’t know what’s wrong with me today, I just can’t control it."

Su Ran quickly said, "Not at all, you shouldn’t think like that, you clearly care for me a lot!"

Tao Wanqing shook her head and sighed deeply, she picked up the Black Card from the cashier’s desk and handed it to Chu Xiyao with a profound look,

"Xiyao, let me settle this bill myself. Although it’s not uncommon for a younger family member to buy clothes for their elders, there are differences between men and women, and moreover, you’re still single. If someone who doesn’t know the full story finds out you’ve been buying clothes for someone else’s husband, that would be a huge misunderstanding. Auntie’s always treated you like her own daughter and naturally wouldn’t want your reputation to be damaged. Do you understand?"

Chu Xiyao tightened her grip on the designer bag she was holding, a limited edition LV clutch, which was almost deformed from her grip.

Her fingers trembling, she took the card Tao Wanqing passed to her, forcing a smile onto her face.

"I understand, I’m sorry Auntie, I was inconsiderate today."

"Oh, Auntie’s watched you grow up since you were little; how could I not know what’s on your mind? You also know about your Uncle Fu’s situation. Before he was married, there were many birds of different feathers with bad intentions hovering around him, and it hasn’t improved much after marriage. It’s like these people automatically ignore that your Uncle Fu got married and still dress up provocatively, throwing themselves at him every day without fail! Xiyao, don’t take it badly that Auntie is sensitive, it’s just that Auntie... I’m tired. Girls should really keep to themselves more—what does it mean to be obsessed with someone else’s husband every day? Xiyao, don’t you agree?"

Chu Xiyao always felt there was an implied meaning in Tao Wanqing’s words, but since she didn’t name names directly, Chu Xiyao obviously couldn’t take it personally.

Her eyelids twitched, and she nodded stiffly with a forced smile, "What Auntie said is true."

"The upbringing of the Chu family is indeed excellent; no wonder Auntie has liked you since you were young."

Chu Xiyao, still stiff with her forced smile, felt a surge of resentment when she collided with Su Ran’s significant gaze.

Tao Wanqing paid the bill, and she and Su Ran each held two bags of their spoils, leaving the men’s fashion store along with Chu Xiyao, who had empty hands.

Meanwhile, at the Fu Consortium boardroom.

A senior executive was reporting on his work when Fu Qiyuan’s phone received a text message.

He listened to the executive’s presentation while picking up his phone.

Upon checking, it was a transaction record.

The Purple Universal Card may not be like a savings card where you can store money, but within the industries owned by the Fu Consortium, it’s a free pass.

Therefore, the usage records were directly sent to Fu Qiyuan’s phone.

Did Xiao Ran use that card?

A slight curve formed at the thin edges of Fu Qiyuan’s lips, a trace of a smile appeared on his handsome and indifferent face.

Seeing this, all the senior executives in the boardroom nearly dropped their jaws in shock!

The executive who was presenting fumbled, his documents almost falling to the floor.
