Chapter 32 A Destitute Appearance
pulling her into his arms.Su He retracted her smile, her brows slightly furrowed, not understanding what he was trying to do.Reluctant to see Bai Yihuan suffer, he changes his mind at the last minute...After leaving the Di Jin Group, Su He hurried to the shopping mall and found the luxury brand store that Gu Qingcheng had mentioned. From afar, she saw Gu Qingcheng tiptoeing to the elevator entrance, anxiously waiting for her. 。As soon as Su He appeared, Gu Qingcheng eagerly went up to greet him. 。"Mom, are you alright" Su He looked at Gu Qingcheng with concern and asked. 。
Before, she received a call from Gu Qingcheng in Huo Chenxi's resting room. Gu Qingcheng spoke vaguely and urged her to come to the shopping mall as soon as possible, Su He thought Gu Qingcheng had run into some trouble.
Don't worry 。Gu Qingcheng smiled, deeply touched by her daughter's concern. 。Su He was dragged by Gu Qingcheng and walked directly into that top luxury brand boutique. 。The store, filled with a pleasant fragrance, was nearly empty. Aside from the staff in their uniform and a wealthy woman carrying a limited-edition bag, who was enjoying herself at the counter picking out items, there was nothing else in the hundreds of square meters of space. 。Looking at the silhouette of the noblewoman, Su He recognized that it was her former mother-in-law, He Suwen. 。Unlike the sharp and spiteful expressions she used to use when tormenting her, He Suwen's face was now beaming with a warm smile. 。This is a members-only boutique. There are only a handful of people in all of City A who qualify to join. 。He Suwen had applied for membership several times, but was rejected each time due to not meeting the qualifications. 。This time, she was able to come in, all thanks to Gu Qingcheng's light. 。Not long ago, she was shopping with some wealthy friends she knew at the brand store downstairs of this mall when she happened to run into Gu Qingcheng. 。Gu Qingcheng hails from the Shen family, one of the three largest conglomerates, and is a master at managing her husband. Shen Zhaolin practically obeys her every word, placing her at the pinnacle of the upper-class social circles for women. 。Upon recognizing Gu Qingcheng's identity, the wealthy ladies took the initiative to greet her warmly. He Suwen naturally wouldn't fall behind either. 。Unexpectedly, because the Yi He Group and Di Jin Group had a cooperation, Gu Qingcheng looked at her with favor, was very enthusiastic, and even invited her to this top luxury boutique on the floor, allowing He Suwen, who had always been on the fringes of the noble circle, to feel proud. 。This was He Suwen's first time visiting the store in person. The items inside were even more exquisite than she had seen in magazines, her eyes widened with delight. But upon seeing the astonishing prices, she hesitated. 。Seeing that she seemed to like the things in this store, Gu Qingcheng waved her hand and let her choose freely. 。Gu Qingcheng was known for her generosity, and as a member of this shop, with her words, He Suwen immediately picked up the items without hesitation. 。Midway through, Gu Qingcheng said she had something to attend to and went out for a while. He Suwen didn't even want to stop. 。...until she had piled up a heap, she realized that Gu Qingcheng hadn't come back, and only then did she panic. 。After waiting for a long time, finally saw Gu Qingcheng appear, He Suwen finally let out a sigh of relief, hurriedly greeted her with a flattering face. 。Before Gu Qingcheng could speak, Su He walked out from behind her. 。Thinking back to how Su He slapped Jian Xin in front of everyone last time, He Suwen gritted her teeth with hatred. Her expression changed instantly, as fast as a master of facial contortions, her face now full of disdainful disgust. 。"What are you doing here With that poor, pathetic look on your face, don't you even think about your own status Someone like you deserves to be kicked out of here" He Suwen let out a cold snort and immediately called the clerk, "Get her out of here." 。The clerk who had been following He Suwen, seeing that Su He was wearing clothes that couldn't tell the brand, and glanced at Gu Qingcheng behind her with a stoic expression, turned to Su He and said, "Miss, I'm sorry, our store is temporarily not receiving guests other than members." 。"Member" Su He looked at the clerk with a half-smile, and casually reported a string of numbers, "Check it out, see if this is a member code" 。He Suwen immediately sneered: "Su He, you just made up a number and said it was a member code. It's too ridiculous." 。"You're so naive. You think everyone is as stupid as you"
Su He gave a cold glance, and He Suwen inexplicably felt a chill sweep over her, shivering involuntarily. 。She gritted her teeth, waiting for the clerk to finish verifying and kick Su He out. 。
"Miss Su," the manager rushed over upon hearing the news, "I'm so sorry, the employee just now was out of line. Please forgive him!"
Even when Gu Qingcheng came over, the manager didn't personally receive her. Seeing the manager warmly entertain Su He, He Suwen was instantly stunned and speechless.
"
“These shoes are pretty good, can you try them on for me” Gu Qingcheng, who had been silent all along, finally spoke. He Suwen came back to her senses and immediately nodded in agreement.
" 。The clerk brought the shoes that Gu Qingcheng ordered over to He Suwen. 。He Suwen was about to bend down and try on the shoes, but Gu Qingcheng said disdainfully: "I didn't buy them for you, what do you mean by putting them on your feet"Hearing the implication in Gu Qingcheng's words, He Suwen's face turned red and white alternately. Embarrassed, she walked up to Gu Qingcheng, squatted down and helped her change shoes. 。Gu Qingcheng beckoned to Su He, motioning her over. "I picked out a few pairs of shoes for you, come try them on and see if they fit." 。Su He smiled and walked over, standing beside Gu Qingcheng. 。Seeing He Suwen squatting down at Gu Qingcheng's feet with new shoes, Su He finally knew why Gu Qingcheng had asked her over. 。
This is to stand up for her!
"Thank you,"
Su He raised an eyebrow, kicked off her shoes, and extended her foot towards He Suwen. 。He Suwen's face turned as white as paper, staring at Su He's face, she hated wanting to smash her shoes on her face. 。But seeing Gu Qingcheng smiling at Su He, she had to grit her teeth and endure. 。There was Old Lady Huo before, now there's Gu Qingcheng, she really underestimated Su He's ability to curry favor with people. 。"Well, aren't you willing to help" Gu Qingcheng asked deliberately, her voice laced with a hint of displeasure. 。
Too afraid to offend Gu Qingcheng, He Suwen gritted her teeth and helped Su He put on her shoes.
"
It doesn't seem very good, let's try some others.
" 。Gu Qingcheng called the store clerk and asked them to bring out all styles of shoes so He Suwen could help Su He try them on. 。After all the trouble, He Suwen was exhausted, sweating profusely and her back aching. Only then did Gu Qingcheng reluctantly help Su He pick out two pairs of... 。After settling the bill, Gu Qingcheng led Su He away. 。He Suwen could no longer contain her anger. She yelled at Su He's back several times, but seeing the things she had chosen before, she reluctantly swallowed her anger. 。Unexpectedly, as she was leaving with her things, the clerk stopped her: "Madam, you haven't paid!"He Suwen, who had a lot of anger bottled up inside, suddenly erupted, and snarled at the clerk impatiently: "Get your facts straight, don't talk nonsense" 。“But the clerk firmly told her that she hadn't paid for any of the items she had.” 。
Before, He Suwen thought Gu Qingcheng had checked out and impatiently asked the clerk to cut off the price tag before packing it up. Even if she wanted to return it, it was too late.
Just then, a group of wealthy women who had previously shopped with her walked by. Upon learning that she couldn't afford the bill and recalling how she had flaunted herself using Gu Qingcheng's name before, they began to sarcastically criticize her, each word more hurtful than the last. 。"Madam, if you don't pay, we'll have to call the police." 。The clerk, hearing He Suwen's economic situation couldn't possibly afford her just now lavish shopping spree, politely but with a hint of threat said: 。He Suwen's face was as pale as death ash, and she had no choice but to seek help from Huo Chenxi. 。 Huo Chenxi came over after a long while. Being stared at by the rich ladies, He Suwen, who felt like she wanted to find a hole to hide in, was finally relieved. 。It's all because of that despicable Su He. 。Seeing bags piled up in the back seats like a small hill, He Suwen didn't feel any joy from shopping. She was so angry that her teeth were clenched. 。Ho Chenxi slammed on the brakes, turning his head dangerously to look at He Suwen in the passenger seat. 。epeat offenses. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."Huo Chenxi didn't say anything.Su He asked silently, "Do you really want to go back"If they get found out for diverting the tiger away fro...
