Back to the East Courtyard.

Pushing open the bathroom door, Shu Yi leaned closer to the mirror to examine her makeup. She took out lip gloss to touch up her lip color and casually brushed aside her long, curly hair that fell to her waist.

"Second Miss, come out and try on the clothes."

Outside the bathroom, Tingli knocked on the door.

"These are all your favorite casual styles, come out and pick some out. Let's try on the clothes first, and then in a little while, some people will be coming over."

She answered, pushed open the bathroom door, and walked to the clothes rack. Finding a satin shirt that looked good, she asked, "Does the Shu family have a private designer?"

Tingli nodded, her round face puffed up with a smile.

"Yes, all the clothes in my family are custom-made, even our work uniforms. A designer comes to take our measurements every now and then, which is very convenient."

He clicked his tongue a few times and found a pair of slim-fit jeans among a pile of extremely expensive clothes.

After changing out of her civilian clothes, Shu Yi returned to the sofa and casually brushed her hair to one side.

He bent down, about to put on the sneakers beside him.

Standing to one side, admiring the second young lady's stunning beauty, he suddenly opened his mouth to express his opinion.

"Second Miss, would you like to try on these high heels? The weather isn't that cold yet. Your feet are so beautiful; you'll look gorgeous in these high heels."

As she spoke, Tingli magically produced a pair of high heels from behind her back, making a "clack-clack" sound.

"What do you think of these shoes?"

Shu Yi doesn't wear high heels often, but there might be female figures present today.

In these families, all the women dress appropriately, but she is wearing sneakers, which is really inappropriate.

With that thought in mind, Shu Yi took the high heels from Ting Li's hand and put them on by herself with her eyes downcast.

When she put on her high heels and got up from the sofa, she stood tall, resting her chin on the clothes rack, and couldn't help but praise her.

"The second young lady has such a great figure, she looks good even in a burlap sack. If I were a man, I would definitely kneel down right under her jeans."

He glanced at her helplessly, feeling that wearing only a shirt was a bit monotonous, so Shu Yi found a vest to layer over her clothes.

Now you have both the temperature and the style.

All that is required is for the guests to be present.

Shuyi gestured for Tingli to push away the giant clothes rack in front of them, then sat back on the sofa, waiting for her grandfather to call her while taking out her phone to call the boss.

As soon as the call connected, before she could even open her mouth, Shu Yi heard her boss's familiar loud voice.

"You silly girl, you finally decided to call me? Why didn't you tell me sooner that Grandpa wasn't feeling well? Your Uncle Wei already told me that you need to stay with Grandpa, so you have to resign first."

"Family matters are definitely more important than work, so you should spend time with Grandpa. By the way, your salary for this month will arrive on time. Come to the bar whenever you have time, and don't forget about the boss. I have something to do now, so I'll have to go."

Before Shu Yi could even open her mouth, her boss, in a fit of rage, hung up on her during the phone call.

The week before that when they ran away with their bags.

Shu Yi had considered calling her boss to explain why she was suddenly not coming to work.

Later, worried that these people might cause trouble for the boss again, he simply abandoned the idea.

Unexpectedly, during this period, Uncle Wei even took care of the bar work for her.

The only connection with Jiacheng was thus severed.

He shook his head speechlessly and pulled out a cigarette case from his bag.

She pulled out a thin cigarette, put it in her mouth, casually tilted her head, and lit it with her slender fingers using a lighter.

As she drifted into the air with the white mist, accompanied by the cool scent of mint mixed with the aroma of tobacco, she took a deep breath, her defined jawline tightening.

The sound didn't reach my ear until the cigarette had burned out completely.

"Second Miss, the old master asked me to take you to the Moonlit Hall. All the guests have already arrived."

The Moonlit Hall is the Shu family's reception and relaxation room for guests.

Entering from the south gate, the view outside the hall on the west side is very beautiful and pleasant.

Following Tingli, we headed towards the Lueyue Hall. The begonias that could be seen everywhere in the Shu family compound were in full bloom.

Standing firmly outside the Moonlit Hall, Shu Yi was about to step inside when a dignified male voice, emanating from within, came from inside.

"What nonsense is this brat spouting? Old Shu, don't take it to heart."

"Yes, Elder Shu, our Youye has always been like this since he was a child. Please don't take it to heart."
