But I clearly don't know any members of the Su family.

"This must be Miss Jiang? She's so beautiful, with a slender figure and such a bright spirit. No wonder she's so talented," Madam Su greeted me, her first words full of praise.

I was taken aback and felt flattered by the praise.

Although I was praised as a beauty since I was a child, and I was often captivated by my own reflection in the mirror, I was quite narcissistic.

But a family like the Su family must be used to seeing stunning beauties. Would they still find someone like me beautiful?

It must be because the old lady is well-mannered and has high emotional intelligence.

Seeing my stunned expression, Butler Zhou whispered a reminder: "This is the old lady."

I immediately smiled and nodded: "Hello, Madam Su, thank you for the compliment."

"Hmm, her voice is nice too."

"..." I blushed at the compliment and could only return the favor, "Actually, I shouldn't call you Madam. Your appearance and demeanor don't resemble old at all."

Madam Su smiled and said, "I'll be sixty next month!"

Madam Su was kind and approachable, completely unlike the stereotypical image of a wealthy matriarch I had imagined.

After a few pleasantries, we got down to business.

The old lady was about to celebrate her 60th birthday and needed to have some nice clothes made, but she was in a very energetic mood and didn't like the styles that were appropriate for her age, so she came to me.

"I want styles that are youthful yet natural, that don't make me look like I'm trying too hard to look young."

Having understood the client's needs, I observed the old lady's appearance and demeanor, and after some consideration, I had a plan in mind. "Okay, let me take your measurements first."

Grandma Su stood with her arms outstretched, and I began to measure her size, with Little Cherry assisting by recording the measurements.

There were still quite a few women sitting in the hall. I was busy with my own things, while they chatted.

At first I didn’t pay attention, but later I realized they were talking about marriage.

To be precise, it was about choosing a wife for Su Shenglin, the legendary Second Master Su.

"Sister-in-law, with so many socialites and heiresses, doesn't Sheng Lin even fancy one of them?"

"Yeah, I don't like any of them. This is the third batch already."

"My second cousin has high standards, otherwise he wouldn't have refused to date any of them until now."

Madam Su snorted, "He did it on purpose."

“Aunt, I think these girls are pretty, but they lack soul. Some of them have obviously had plastic surgery. Who knows what their original appearance was like? You can’t blame my second cousin for not liking them.”

After I finished measuring Madam Su's measurements, I knew that the other women also needed to have clothes made, so I measured them one by one and told Xiao Yingtao not to make a mistake.

Madam Su sat down, took a sip of tea, and stared at me, then suddenly said, "Miss Jiang has good taste, why don't you help me see which of these socialites and heiresses stands out?"

I exclaimed "Ah!" and turned to look at Madam Su, then lowered my gaze to the photos and quickly shook my head: "I can't see it. Besides... matters of the heart depend on the feelings of the people involved. Outsiders can't be sure."

An older female elder said, "I think these so-called socialites and heiresses are not as good as Miss Jiang. They have neither Miss Jiang's looks nor her talents."

I was flattered and quickly said, "Madam, you flatter me. How can I compare to these socialites and heiresses?"

"How can you not be compared? You have great potential, don't underestimate yourself."

I:"……"

As a divorced woman who has just been abandoned by her husband, I certainly don't have that confidence yet.

Unexpectedly, Madam Su suddenly asked, "Miss Jiang, do you have someone you like?"

My ears twitched. I had just finished measuring the young lady in front of me, and I almost fell to the ground in shock when I stood up.

I'm starting to doubt whether the marketing manager's joke yesterday was actually true.

"Madam, please don't joke. My scandal is known to everyone, you must have heard about it." Since it was something everyone knew, I didn't hide it and told it frankly.

Madam Su frowned. "That matter has nothing to do with you. You are the victim."

"Thank you for your comfort, Madam."

"So, you still love the young master of the Gu family?"

I was busy taking measurements for the next person and casually replied, "No, I just want to focus on my career right now."

Before the words were finished, a tall, slender figure descended the stairs.

I didn't notice at first, but someone called out, "Sheng Lin is down. Am I disturbing your work?"

"No, the work is all taken care of." A clear, gentle male voice came from behind me, instantly reminding me of the Second Master Su who handed me the handkerchief at our wedding.

His voice was also clear and melodious, able to clearly penetrate a noisy environment.

I looked up at the sound and then I could see the person and their face clearly.

Unlike my fleeting glimpse at the wedding, this Mr. Su was actually very young and handsome, and had nothing to do with being called "Master".

With sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, a slender figure, and a straight back, he had the demeanor of a soldier. His overall temperament was extremely upright, exuding an air of nobility and majesty that made people feel unapproachable at first glance.

Yet his speech, manner, and demeanor were not at all arrogant; on the contrary, he was extremely gentle and peaceful.

Actually, I had heard of Su Shenglin before, but I didn't have a good impression of him.

Because Gu Yanqing had a grudge against him—Gu Yanqing had missed out on several big projects in the past, all of which were won by Su Shenglin.

Gu Yanqing felt that Su Shenglin relied on his ancestors' glory and honor, acted unreasonably, abused his power to oppress others, and engaged in vicious competition, so she was quite dissatisfied with him.

At that time, I also thought that these top-level nobles were really hateful, and the image I imagined was that of a mean, arrogant person.

But upon closer inspection today, I discovered that it wasn't like that at all.

On the contrary, they are exceptionally outstanding and virtuous, refined and noble, deserving of all the world's most splendid praise.
