Chapter 70: These Fat Sheep Are Best Slaughtered!

Logically, she is Su Ruan's older sister, so Yaya and Douzi, being associated with Su Ruan, calling her "Aunt" or "Big Aunt" isn't wrong, and even carries a respectful tone.

But to Su Yanhua, this address sounds unbearably harsh!

Big Aunt?

Isn't that plainly calling an older woman?!

She's only just turned twenty!

She's in the prime of youth!

Being publicly shouted "Big Aunt" by two little brats, and at the entrance of Su Ruan's shop, with so many potential customers watching…

In an instant, Su Yanhua felt as if her face were on fire, scorching terrifyingly, blood rushing to her head, her face swelling red and purple, wishing she could crawl into a crack in the ground on the spot!

She could even clearly sense the surrounding gazes, bearing curiosity, appraisal, and even… faint amusement.

Liu Wenbin was also stunned by the sudden turn, watching the two kids clutch his thigh tightly, his face flushing red like a pig's liver, embarrassed and about to faint, both angry and flustered.

He instinctively wanted to pull the children away, but worrying about the setting and his status, his limbs didn't know where to go, awkward beyond measure.

The shop's customers and passing pedestrians were drawn to the commotion, turning to look, pointing at Su Yanhua and Liu Wenbin, murmuring low comments.

"Yo, what's going on?"

"Who's that woman? Those two kids calling her Big Aunt?"

"She doesn't look that old, why such a high seniority?"

"Don't know, but that man looks like the school's Liu Laoshi?"

…

The whispered gossip pierced Su Yanhua's and Liu Wenbin's eardrums like needles.

Inside, Su Ruan, who was introducing fabrics to a customer, and Jiang Ran, who had just moved items out of the backyard, were also startled by the scene at the door.

Su Ruan looked up, saw the familiar yet awkward figures at the door and the two little "pendants" hanging from Su Yanhua's leg, froze for a moment, then understood the situation, her brows subtly furrowing.

She hadn't expected those two to show up, let alone Douzi and Yaya causing such a scene.

Jiang Ran squinted, a cold curve lifting the corner of his mouth.

He set down what he was holding, stretched his long legs and walked out, and Su Ruan also put down the fabric and followed.

The two reached the shop's entrance, looking at Liu Wenbin and Su Yanhua, stuck in a deadlock.

Jiang Ran crossed his arms, looking down from above, his tone laced with unabashed sarcasm: "Yo, isn't this Liu Laoshi and Big Aunt? Why, standing at the door and not coming in? Is our shop too small to accommodate you two great Buddhas?"

He deliberately emphasized the words "Big Aunt", making Su Yanhua shiver all over, ashamed and furious to death.

Su Ruan gently tugged Jiang Ran's arm, signaling him not to go too far, then looked calmly at the iron‑blue‑faced Liu Wenbin and the Su Yanhua who wanted to disappear on the spot, her tone distant yet courteous: "Liu Laoshi, sister, since you're here, what is it?"

Her voice was soft, yet clearly reached everyone's ears.

At that moment, Su Yanhua felt every gaze like a spotlight on her, leaving her no escape.

All her previous pride and scheming, under Su Ruan's calm gaze and that "sister" utterance, turned to dust, leaving only boundless embarrassment and humiliation.

Her face today is a total disgrace!

When her brain heated up, just as she was about to recklessly retort or curse, her arm was suddenly yanked by Liu Wenbin.

Liu Wenbin's face was iron‑blue, suppressing anger and awkwardness, forcing a grin uglier than crying at Su Ruan and Jiang Ran: "N-no problem, Su Ruan, Jiang Ran, we're just… just passing by, taking a look. We'll leave now, we'll leave now."

He just wanted to get out of this place that was trashing his reputation.

In front of Su Ruan and Jiang Ran, especially under this public ridicule, he felt his teacherly dignity completely shattered.

However, Su Yanhua, like a lit firecracker, suddenly flung Liu Wenbin's hand away.

She couldn't stand it!

Why should she slink away like a street rat?

Why can Su Ruan bask in endless glory, adored by so many?

She insists on going in today!

She wants to see what's so great about Su Ruan's shop!

She also wants to wear the trendiest clothes to the city, to regain face!

"Why are you leaving!" Su Yanhua shouted sharply, her voice trembling with excitement and shame.

She puffed out her chest, trying to look proud, her gaze challenging Su Ruan and Jiang Ran, deliberately raising her volume as if speaking to everyone around:

"Wen Bin is going to the city for an important teaching competition, to bring glory to our school! As his family, I naturally have to accompany him; I can't go looking shabby and tarnish Wen Bin's and the school's reputation!"

She paused, her eyes scanning the signboard, tone laced with unabashed doubt and contempt:

"I heard your place makes great clothes, you're praised to the heavens— is that true?"

"Or is it all flash and no substance? We need something for a big event; ordinary stuff won't do!"

This back‑and‑forth both elevates her own status and belittles Su Ruan's shop, trying to regain ground in the confrontation.

Douzi and Yaya, still clutching her leg, were startled by her sudden sharp tone, instinctively letting go and ducking behind the quickly advancing Su Ruan, their big eyes watching the suddenly frantic Su Yanhua warily.

The surrounding customers and passersby exchanged puzzled looks; this woman… really speaks harshly.

However, it sounds like her husband is quite formidable?

Going to the city for a competition?

Liu Wenbin was caught off guard by Su Yanhua's sudden outburst; trying to stop her was already too late, and hearing her self‑aggrandizing, disparaging words made his face burn even hotter, feeling even more ashamed.

He wished he could immediately cover Su Yanhua's mouth and drag her away.

However, Jiang Ran and Su Ruan opposite them reacted completely differently.

Jiang Ran's originally cold gaze, after hearing Su Yanhua's words, not only didn't get angry but seemed to find something extremely amusing, the mocking curve widening into a grin that saw a fat sheep voluntarily walking to the door, a scheming smile with a hint of roguishness.

Su Ruan was slightly startled, then a hint of understanding and indifference flashed in her eyes.

She gently patted the little heads of Douzi and Yaya hiding behind her, signaling them not to be afraid, then lifted her gaze, meeting Su Yanhua's provocative stare with calm, unruffled eyes.

Business that comes to the door is never refused.

Especially… this sort of client who is obviously sulky, brimming with vanity, and desperate to prove something.

Sheep like this are best slaughtered.
