Chapter 56: Choosing Formal Wear

The medicine in his body has already been metabolized; he'll be fine once he wakes up.

Give Mount Tai a 10,000 reward, three days paid leave.

Okay.

Qin Tao left to arrange things, and Su Xi sent a message telling Meng Xianle to expose this matter.

Meng Xianle: Received!

【Online irate Qin assistant: @all members, Mount Tai is fine, don't worry. He's taking three days off, and there's compensation.】

【Front desk who doesn't like receiving deliveries: seeing the stretcher carry him down, I thought he was going to be sent away.】

【HR feels no sense of accomplishment: Splendid Scenery just let in a former agent, and now we've let in Chu Han Ya—can't security see people?】

【Why isn't anyone quitting: Headquarters probably also has people wanting to quit. Splendid Scenery is laying off staff; I even want to go over and help.】

【Designer who doesn't understand design: reportedly there's a traitor in our department? They've all come here to investigate.】

【HR bored out of their mind: if you get some gossip, be sure to share!】

【Investigation from the newcomer group: I've posted today's incident, you water‑workers give it an upvote.】

【HR bored out of their mind: OK!】

【Why isn't anyone quitting: OK!】

……

#Chu Han Ya accidentally gave the assistant drugs# briefly topped the hot search.

【I investigated: #Chu Han Ya accidentally gave the assistant drugs# according to reliable sources, Chu Han Ya sneaked into the Su Clan Group CEO's office, mistakenly gave the CEO's assistant drugs, the assistant was taken by ambulance to the hospital ER, and Chu Han Ya herself was taken away by police.

【Melon melon melon come: I swear, is this really lawless?】

【No longer filtering: can her news still come up?】

【5G surfing: how come the person on the stretcher looks so much like Su Xi?】

【HR oh world: it's the assistant, the CEO and his family of three went to pick out formal wear! Pic. JPG】

【Front desk doesn't accept deliveries: I really want to see the Princess Imperial in a little formal dress; she looks great in a suit too. Pic. JPG】

……

Online, Chu Han Ya's related entries just went onto the hot search, then were taken down. But with public accounts and gossip‑group netizens around, Chu Han Ya's heat didn't drop—it rose.

Dawn Moon Studio

Su Yu turned her head sharply, scanning the whole venue.

【I feel like they're looking at us?】

Su Yu held Su Xi's hand with her left, and Ji Yan's hand with her right.

【Let me throw one to test!】

You look at your own first; I want to look alone with Mom!

After saying that, Su Yu let go of Su Xi and dragged Ji Yan off to run elsewhere.

Su Yu, taking advantage of her small size, hid among the clothes and peeked through the gaps at the other studio staff.

【They're looking at Uncle, not me and Mom! What did Uncle do?】

Sweetie, the outfit you picked earlier is ready—come try it on!

Ji Yan saw that the formalwear Su Yu had picked at the company was already done. She led the hiding Su Yu into the changing room.

【Come on! Uncle's matter, you handle it yourself!】

Su Xi opened his phone, opened Meng Xianle's blog post. He forwarded this to Ji Yan, then explained what happened today.

How does it look?

Su Xi looked up at the all‑fluffy Su Yu. Her fair skin, wrapped in a black tight‑fluffy top, looked like smooth porcelain, while the white puffy skirt doubled her size or more. Today the weather was dry, the fuzz on the top had poofed up, making her look quite bulky. She even struck a cute pose, twirling, as if she hadn't looked in a mirror.

Thinking that Su Yu couldn't walk, and that he'd be the one to suffer, Su Xi nodded and said, 'You look just like that bear you like!'

Ji Yan thought of the bear plushie at home, then looked at her daughter; aside from the color, their builds are somewhat alike.

Su Yu pouted, felt the fluffy clothes on her body, and stomped her little feet to the mirror.

I'm really cute!

Su Yu felt that even if she were a bear, she'd be a cute bear!

Ji Yan nodded, which chubby bear isn't cute?

Although she was cute, she still took it off to look for new clothes.

Xu Dan Shu stood aside, introducing things diligently.

Everything here is a basic model made from the design drafts; if you like something, we can tailor it to your measurements and add the elements you like.

After Su Yu browsed the fluffy clothing section, she walked to another themed area. She saw a star‑sky‑themed formal dress; under the lights it really gave off a star‑sky feeling, looking truly magical.

Su Yu reached to grab it, but a big hand snatched the skirt away.

【Damn it!】

Su Yu dragged her mother over to Su Xi's side.

【Just picking clothes and I run into these two; I and Uncle are both unlucky today!】

Su Xi saw the little chubby paw on his phone and asked, 'Not picking?'

I don't want to keep browsing; let's just use what we have at home. I also want to buy that bear‑skirt dress to wear at home!

【So cute, I like it!】

Sure.

Su Xi picked up Su Yu, 'Let's go eat first; please have the clothes delivered to the Su Clan Group.'

That last remark was for Xu Dan Shu.

Xu Dan Shu quickly nodded, 'Okay, take your time!'

Xu Dan Shu was furious inside! Their studio had two floors, each floor had the same clothes, specially designed for wealthy people with poor relations, to avoid them running into embarrassment.

Clearly she had said in the group chat to bring the Su family people to this floor; why did the colleague bring the Jiang family people to the same floor?

From the customer's words she knew she'd lost the commission for a whole outfit!

"Do you have any food restrictions?"

Ji Yan stood beside her, still unanswered, when Su Yu blurted out, "Mom isn't picky! But Mom loves eating beef! The Chinese kind!"

Ji Yan's eyes were a little moist; she indeed loved beef. Because beef tends to cause internal heat, she rarely ate it. She hadn't expected her daughter to notice.

"Fine, in our family you're the pickiest eater!"

"Obviously it's you who's the pickiest! Yet you blame me—even great-grandma and the butler uncle say I take after you!"

【You're just like Dad! We three are all the same! How dare you say that about me?】

"I think you want to eat greens!"

"Mom, he's slandering me! I don't want you to hold me!"

【Hmph! I can walk by myself!】

"You're too heavy; Mom's arms hurt holding you!"

【Ah, are you looking for a fight!】

……

The bickering faded away; Yao Yuanyuan, standing guard nearby, watched the dress gradually wrinkle, sequins still falling off, and sucked in a breath.

This is their most expensive finished product!

And it's just ruined like that!

"Mom, let's change to another one? This one isn't pretty!"

Jiang Yuzhen shook Shui Wanhua's hand.

Shui Wanhua came to her senses, flung the starry-night gown to the ground, and said, "Check out, Mom doesn't like the clothes here. Mom will take you to a private tailor, designed with you as inspiration—it will absolutely be the perfect fit for you."

"Okay! I'll listen to Mom!"

During this time at home, Jiang Yuzhen had already learned to go along with Shui Wanhua. As long as she obediently listened, Shui Wanhua would treat her very well.

Yao Yuanyuan picked up the clothes, took them to the counter to get a bag and have them wrapped, then handed them over with both hands to Shui Wanhua.

Seeing the two leave, she turned around and saw her colleague glaring at her; she hurried over to apologize, "Sorry, I couldn't stop the customer—she insisted on coming to this floor!"

The customer insisted on coming—what could she do? Shui Wanhua doesn't come often, but she's a major client; she has no authority to refuse her request!

Xu Dan Shu sighed, "She's only browsed one themed area…"

One themed area and she bought a dress; if she bought one for every themed area…

Yao Yuanyuan caught the implication in Xu Dan Shu's words and quickly added, "Madam Jiang's goal is crystal clear—she isn't listening to my introductions at all. You'd better check who leaked the news that they're on this floor online."

Xu Dan Shu certainly had to investigate!

The boss had stressed many times that leaking customer information is not allowed.

She wanted to see who was responsible for her losing the order!

……

In the car, Su Xi held up a mirror for Su Yu, who did her own hair. Seeing them having fun, Ji Yan didn't disturb them and picked up her phone to check messages.

The further Ji Yan read, the wider her eyes grew.
