Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!-Chapter 280: Relying on Men, Relying on Oneself

Her closet was that big, and there was no room for so many clothes.

It was a pity he didn’t dare to say anything, fearing the clothes on his body would have to be worn for another year.

Lin Xuanze was holding full bags in both hands, regretting why he even came.

"Aunt Xiang, you bought so many you can’t possibly wear them all," Yun Yue said, feeling a bit helpless.

"Why not? One per day," Lin Xiang replied, ignoring her. What was this nonsense—once she went to Beijing for university, she definitely couldn’t dress poorly; otherwise, it would invite people to look down on her.

Passing by a jewelry store, she remembered Lin Xiang’s birthday was coming up soon, and she didn’t seem to have a gift for her.

"Bai Hui, Shen Xuan has gone to Beijing, right? Now, among all the ladies of Lan City, your children are the most outstanding," a group of people came up to them as they walked, including Bai Hui and the fine ladies of Lan City.

Although the incident with Professor He Lv made a big scene last time, and Bai Hui was too ashamed to go out for several days, who still remembered it after time had passed?

She remained the center of attention among these fine ladies, who tried to ingratiate themselves with her.

"The necklace around your neck looks like it’s from the latest tever series, selling for two million in the boutique," Mrs. Wang said, spotting it immediately with her discerning eye.

Bai Hui’s manicured nails lightly touched the necklace around her neck, catching sight of Lin Xiang and others from the corner of her eye, and said proudly, "Mrs. Wang has sharp eyesight, it is indeed the tever brand, the necklace from the `Start of Summer` of the 24 solar terms."

The tever brand’s new series of necklaces based on the 24 solar terms was the latest fashion trend, suitable for girls in their teens and women in their forties alike.

Moreover, each solar term necklace was available for purchase only on the day of the solar term itself.

Not only expensive but also very rare.

Tever jewelry and clothing were loved and sought after by contemporary women because of the exciting collision between modern and ancient elements; both jewelry and clothing perfectly merged the two.

This necklace was a birthday gift from Shen Jiping to her over a month ago, and naturally, she had to wear it today when she was out shopping with so many fine ladies.

"Oh, isn’t that Lin Xiang?" Mrs. Wang finally noticed Lin Xiang, who was wearing a black cheongsam that exquisitely showcased her figure, making her skin appear exceptionally fair.

How does this woman maintain herself, single-handedly managing the Lin Group without a single fine line on her face, but rather looking even more radiant and youthful?

Bai Hui and the ladies by her side followed her gaze to look at Lin Xiang, visibly astonished.

A quick flash of jealousy streaked across Bai Hui’s eyes.

Lin Xiang also saw them; although she didn’t want to greet Bai Hui, the social circle was small and they all had business dealings, so face had to be maintained. She stopped her steps and greeted them.

Mrs. Wang suppressed her envious gaze and asked, "Lin Xiang, how come we haven’t seen you out for afternoon tea lately?"

"Which brand is this dress? How come I’ve never seen it before? And this bag must be new too?"

They inquired, planning to buy clothes of the same brand later on; they just had to look good wearing them.

Bai Hui glanced at the bags in Lin Xuanze’s hands and said meaningfully with a curled lip, "Being one’s own boss is really more impressive than us who have to ask our husbands for money; buy whatever you want on a whim."

Lin Xuanze frowned, previously thinking Aunt Bai Hui was quite nice, but now she seemed increasingly unlikable.

Was she implying everyone present was a fool?!

Lin Xiang elegantly adjusted a strand of hair, "Relying on a man is worse than relying on oneself. Whatever you want to buy, you just buy it. A mere necklace worth two million—if I want it, I just get it without having to idly wait for my husband to gift it to me. Besides, what do men understand about necklace styles? It’s not like some people begged for theirs."

Bai Hui’s complexion changed as everyone around understood perfectly; these two used to be on great terms, and now their spat was the real deal. Those nearby watched the drama silently without interjecting, not wanting to offend either side.

One reliant on her husband’s family, the other self-reliant. In the end, they still admired Lin Xiang.

But that admiration was all—what woman wouldn’t want her husband’s love and her children to be successful, to enjoy a life of ease at home?

When it came to fortune, Bai Hui was the one with the most.

"Lin Xiang, that necklace around your neck?" Mrs. Wang was a connoisseur; the necklace looked somewhat familiar.

Judging by the material, this necklace definitely cost more than the one around Bai Hui’s neck, I just can’t remember the brand at the moment.

Lin Xiang didn’t want to continue with the pleasantries, dealing with these people was even more exhausting than the deceit in the shopping malls, "Yueyue gave it to me, you all keep shopping, we’re leaving."

Mrs. Wang watched their retreating figures.

Her stepdaughter gave it to her?

That necklace clearly looked expensive, where did her stepdaughter get that much money?

"Mrs. Wang, what are you looking at?" Bai Hui interrupted her thoughts, her gaze following Lin Xiang’s departing figure.

Mrs. Wang frowned and said, "I keep feeling that Lin Xiang’s necklace looks familiar, as if I’ve seen it somewhere before."

Bai Hui sneered inwardly, keeping her expression neutral, "That necklace was given by her stepdaughter, it could be a high-quality replica from some famous brand."

A replica necklace isn’t worth much, yet she dares to wear it out.

"That may be true." Mrs. Wang nodded slightly.

Lin Xiang’s stepdaughter came from a poor rural area, how could she afford such expensive jewelry? A replica seemed indeed plausible.

Lin Xuanze felt a tightness in his chest.

Yun Yue glanced at him, her beautiful eyes emanating a cool distance, her delicate brows arching slightly, "I want to drink milk tea."

"Milk tea?" Lin Xiang stopped and looked around, there was no milk tea on this floor full of boutiques, they’d have to buy it downstairs.

"Lin Xuanze, you go buy the milk tea, I’ll take your sister to browse the Tever store, come find us when you’re done."

Lin Xuanze, with a tightness in his chest, glared at Yun Yue: "..."

She really is a good little sister.

"Wait for me, sister, I’ll go buy it for you right now." He stored their things at the Tever counter and stormed downstairs.

Yun Yue followed her into the Tever boutique.

"Welcome to the Tever boutique, hono...red customer, I’m pleased to serve you." The saleswoman was stunned by the sight of Yun Yue’s face, radiating wealth, she was in awe.

Walking money!

She discreetly sized her up; the girl wasn’t in her school uniform this time, wearing ultra-short denim shorts and a simple black T-shirt, giving off a supermodel vibe.

Long legs, slim waist, fair skin, stunning.

Too beautiful.

Even prettier than a celebrity!

Lin Xiang tried on clothes for herself, not forgetting to say to her, "Yueyue, take a look if you like anything, your Aunt will buy it for you."

The saleswoman glanced at Lin Xiang, lowered her brows and remained silent.

Her colleague had been promoted and transferred to company training because of her, and it was only a matter of time before she would be promoted after training.

Today, she didn’t expect a ten-million deal by following her; a few hundred thousand would already make her very content.

Although this lady in the cheongsam seemed wealthy, based on her years of sales experience, she would definitely be difficult to profit from.

Yun Yue glanced at the saleswoman, the corners of her mouth curling into a subtle, mocking smile, her eyes glinting with chill.

"Don’t worry about these, Aunt Xiang, you just try on what you like."

"You just don’t like to dress up," Lin Xiang lamented somewhat helplessly. She was so beautiful that a simple dress-up would make her a goddess descending to earth.
