"I'm so angry, he's just a high-class tailor. Is he really that busy, with orders backed up for half a year?"
Wang Tingting huffed indignantly as she walked out of an elegant and stylish tailor shop.
"Tingting, don't be angry. People have their difficulties!" Su Yingxue said, feeling a bit helpless. But she didn't complain, "We'll just find someone else. If all else fails, I'll do it myself!"
"How can I not be angry? Orders backed up for half a year, that's just an excuse because you're new and they don't want to make clothes for you!" Wang Tingting pouted, feeling resentful.
Chen Fan, holding little Nannan's hand, followed behind them.
"And you, Chen Fan, can't you do something useful?"
Wang Tingting, still unhappy, took her frustration out on Chen Fan, "We spent so much time talking to that tailor, and you just stood there watching, completely useless."
Chen Fan couldn't help but feel helpless.
What was his status? To beg a tailor?
And they might not even pay him any mind!
"How about I help you find a master tailor? Their skill and craftsmanship will surely satisfy you!"
He suggested to Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue was a little tempted, but finally shook her head, "Let's keep looking!"
"Chen Fan, are you bragging?" Wang Tingting scoffed, "We've been to several high-class tailors in the industry today, and they're all so arrogant. Can you really bring in a master?"
"It's not a big problem!" Chen Fan said.
"Then why aren't you finding one quickly?" Wang Tingting retorted impatiently, "Must we humble ourselves and beg people?"
"Tingting!" Su Yingxue took Wang Tingting's hand, saying helplessly, "Brother Chen also needs to contact his boss. He can't owe too many favors. Let's go back first."
"I'll ask my colleagues again if they know any suitable high-class tailors!"
"Alright!"
Wang Tingting shrugged helplessly. She knew Su Yingxue was like this; she disliked troubling others.
Seeing this, Chen Fan smiled bitterly to himself.
Sometimes, the stones one picks up would end up crushing their own feet.
This was his current situation.
Regarding this matter, he decided not to seek Su Yingxue's opinion anymore and would directly call someone over.
After all, the quality of the tailor's craftsmanship determined the final presentation of Su Yingxue's work.
Back at Xiangshan Tansu, as soon as the car stopped, Chen Fan saw Tang Qingying, deliberately patrolling in her security uniform.
After letting Su Yingxue and the others go inside, Chen Fan walked over.
"Mr. Chen, what a coincidence!"
Tang Qingying greeted him with a smile.
Coincidence?
Chen Fan smiled and said, "It is quite a coincidence. You carry on with your work, I'm going inside!"
Tang Qingying felt speechless and quickly said, "Mr. Chen, I actually have a question."
"Hmm?"
Tang Qingying lowered her voice and asked, "You, you're Mr. Long, aren't you?"
"Why do you think so?"
Chen Fan was slightly surprised.
"I just feel it's too much of a coincidence."
Tang Qingying looked at Chen Fan deeply and said seriously, "You were the one who bought the villa, you're the one holding Mr. Long's Dragon Card, and back then, many people went to Su family's wedding to see Mr. Long but met a fake. And the Su family is actually related to you!"
"Too many coincidences mean it's not a coincidence, right?"
Chen Fan chuckled.
There were indeed perceptive people, or rather, the truth was always there, but many people were unwilling to believe it!
Connecting a son-in-law kicked out of the house with Mr. Long was the first reaction, disbelief, and thus, they couldn't see the truth!
Chen Fan neither admitted nor denied it, saying calmly, "Miss Tang, please continue your patrol. The safety of the villa is in your hands."
Tang Qingying smiled and followed Chen Fan, saying, "Today, Xiao Xuan called me. She said the Investment Department of Shengshi Group went to inspect her family's tea factory and is considering investing thirty million. Is this also because of you, Mr. Chen?"
Jiang Tiansheng's actions were quite swift, which Chen Fan found satisfactory.
However, investing thirty million in a tea factory was no small sum!
"I was planning to inspect Xiao Xuan's family's tea factory myself, but now it's unnecessary!" Chen Fan said casually.
Tang Qingying smiled and added, "I'm working in the property management company now. If you need anything, feel free to call me at the property management office anytime."
Chen Fan nodded slightly.
"Of course, if there's any good opportunity, don't forget about me. I want to start a business, but I don't have any good connections!" Tang Qingying added.
Chen Fan glanced at Tang Qingying. She looked expectant, yet feigned nonchalance, making him smile.
Countless people wanted to find him. Tang Qingying's approach was quite unique, and he didn't dislike it.
Without giving a reply, he returned to the villa.
Tang Qingying, however, wore a smile.
The more she interacted with him, the more she found Chen Fan interesting.
The legendary mysterious Mr. Long wasn't so difficult to get along with after all.
Of course, she would keep the fact that Chen Fan was Mr. Long a secret, even from her grandfather.
Entering the villa, Chen Fan saw Li Xiuying looking at the calendar on the wall.
"Mom, what are you looking at?" Su Yingxue came out in comfortable pajamas and asked.
"Axue, I'm getting old and forgetful. Is it your grandfather's birthday in a few days? I can't quite remember!"
"Grandfather?"
Su Yingxue paused, glanced at the calendar, and said, "It's in three days, but Grandfather has already passed away!"
"I know he's passed away!" Li Xiuying said, "If I remember correctly, your grandfather would have been ninety this year!"
She sighed, "Of the entire Su family, only your grandfather treated us well. If he were still here, we wouldn't have been kicked out of the Su family!"
Su Yingxue nodded, "Then should we go sweep his grave?"
"We should go," Li Xiuying said, "You're still a Su, after all. Let's go pay our respects!"
After a moment of silence, Su Yingxue said, "Then I'll go. Mom, you shouldn't go."
She clearly feared Li Xiuying facing the Su family members again and getting agitated.
Li Xiuying said with an apologetic look, "Axue, you'll have to endure it again. But one must be grateful. When you go, avoid them, alright?"
Su Yingxue nodded, "Grandfather was very good to me. It's only right to pay my respects!"
Hearing this, Chen Fan felt a pang of emotion. He opened his mouth, but ultimately remained silent.
This mother and daughter were too kind, always believing others were as kind as them.
Therefore, they suffered many losses and were hurt many times.
However, he didn't reveal anything.
The deceased should be respected. Although Old Master Su was extremely biased and even arranged for the switch, he was still much better than the others in the Su family!
Furthermore, when he was alive, Old Master Su had given Su Yingxue a lot of compensation, and the will he left behind also included a share of the Su family's assets for Su Yingxue.
But Su Yingxue was still driven out of the Su family, not to mention the property that rightfully belonged to her.
He stepped forward and said, "Auntie, you didn't mention it, and I had forgotten. It's Old Master Su's celestial birthday, and I should go pay my respects. I'll go with Yingxue then."
Li Xiuying was stunned for a moment before nodding, "Xiao Fan, you were once the Su family's son-in-law, and he treated you very well when he was alive. It is indeed proper to go pay respects."
"With you accompanying Axue, I feel much more at ease."
Chen Fan nodded with a smile.
Old Master Su had protected him because he knew he was the legitimate grandson of the Chen family!
But Old Master Su knew Chen Fan wanted to marry Su Yingxue, yet he let Su Yingxia take her place. Such a forced marriage...
If he were still alive, Chen Fan would never let him off!
However, the deceased were gone. Chen Fan could only forgive that scheming old bone that had turned into a pile of dust!
