Chapter 335 It Wasn't Her
When Luo Shu and Yu Yu entered the Ling family home, several servants were already standing aside being scolded by the housekeeper.
Xu Can was among them.
Madam Ling walked over.
"I'm sorry, I might have to trouble you to see if there's anything we can do to fix this."
Madam Ling spoke gently, without blaming them.
Regardless of whether this was a mistake by Luo Shu and Yu Yu, Madam Ling's attitude alone was enough to earn their admiration.
Madam Ling should have been somewhat angry or reproachful, but she seemed to have remained gentle throughout.
Even though her dress was ruined, her expression remained unchanged.
Luo Shu: "You're too kind, Madam Ling. Let's look at the clothes first."
Madam Ling led the two women into the dressing room, where two formal dresses were placed on the table in the middle.
Madam Ling picked up the dress and flipped it open from under her arm. "This one is here. It came undone as soon as I put it on and raised my arm. The other one is a cheongsam, and the slit at the thigh is where it's more badly torn. I don't think I've gotten that fat..."
Luo Shu and Yu Yu washed their hands, put on gloves, and began the inspection.
There were no signs of cutting on the clothes. If it were really done by someone, the quality of the needle and thread they used would have required a lot of effort to break the thread.
Luo Shu: "Madam Ling, these two outfits can still be sewn back together. We are very sorry for what happened. We'll waive the money for these two outfits as an apology. If you trust us, we can still repair them now and restore them to their original condition. What do you think..."
Yu Yu looked at Luo Shu, wanting to say something, but Luo Shu grabbed her wrist and didn't say a word.
Madam Ling smiled and said, "I called you over to see if you could sew it up. I still need to collect the money, but it might be a bit of a hassle for you."
"It's no trouble at all, but we need Mrs. Ling's help. We don't like to be disturbed when we're working."
Madam Ling: "No problem."
Madam Ling arranged a separate room for them.
After everyone left, Yu asked, "Two sets of clothes, worth hundreds of thousands, are you just going to give them up like that?"
Luo Shu smiled and said, "Didn't you see the loose thread? It's obviously not cut with scissors. It's been picked very clearly. Someone must have done it on purpose. If we sew it up, Madam Ling will definitely wear it tomorrow. I reckon she might come back a second time. Doesn't she want to see us make a fool of ourselves?"
Yu Yu was completely confused. "Even so, we still need several hundred thousand."
“We need these hundreds of thousands, but we can’t just take them directly.” Luo Shu spread the clothes on the table. “Get to work.”
Although Yu Yu didn't understand yet, she still wanted to get the clothes sorted out first. She couldn't let these two outfits ruin the studio's reputation.
They threaded the needle and began to work.
The two sat on the chairs for more than two hours, and after finishing sewing, they carefully checked the other clothes again, afraid that there might be any mistakes.
"I'm going to the restroom." Yu Yu stretched and walked out of the room.
When she returns, it will be Luo Shu's turn to go.
As I stepped out of the room, I ran into Xu Can.
Xu Can stopped Luo Shu, took her to a secluded place, and said to her, "I didn't do it."
Luo Shuping said in a flat voice, "I know."
Xu Can asked in surprise, "Don't you doubt me?"
"I've had my doubts, but I don't think you need to, if you're smart enough."
"..." Xu Can was taken aback. Luo Shu was indeed quite clever. "I have something else to tell you."
"Go on," Luo Shu said, listening attentively.

Luo Shu and Yu Yu returned in the evening.
"Are we just going to leave it like this?" Yu asked curiously.
Luo Shu hummed in agreement and said, "If someone can wager hundreds of thousands, what are we afraid of? Don't we still have several sets of our studio's prized possessions?"
Yu paused, still not quite understanding.
Luo Shu rested her head on her shoulder. "Alright, let's wait for good news tomorrow and get a good night's sleep tonight."

When Xu Can returned to the rented apartment, Qin Heng had already prepared a meal and was waiting for her at home.
Xu Can: "Why are you back so early today?"
Qin Heng handed her the bowl and chopsticks: "Sit down."
Xu Can hadn't eaten Qin Heng's cooking for her in a long time, so she picked up her bowl and chopsticks and ate with relish.
Qin Heng said calmly, "I heard about the dress today."
"Hmm, it's a pity that the dress cost hundreds of thousands. Luo Shu and the others spent the whole afternoon in the room trying to restore it to its original state..."
"You did this?"
"..." Xu Can paused with his chopsticks, his eyes turning to Qin Heng.
Qin Heng asked again, "Did you do it?"
Xu Can smiled, picked up some food and started eating, and even put a piece of meat on his plate, saying, "I didn't make it."
Qin Heng nodded. "Okay, that's good."
Xu Can was stunned for a moment, "You believe me?"
"Otherwise what?"
"Thanks."
Qin Heng remained silent.
Actually, Qin Heng had gone to pick her up, but he happened to run into two gossipy maids who were changing shifts. They knew Qin Heng, so they mentioned it.
No one knows who said it, but the rumor that Luo Shu was Qin Heng's ex-girlfriend spread among them.
Many people say that Xu Can was probably behind this.
Qin Heng knew Xu Can well and knew that it was highly unlikely that she was the one who did it, but he still couldn't help asking.
“Luo Shu is very lucky to have someone like you who likes her so much. I’m quite envious of her,” Xu Can said.
Qin Heng chuckled softly and said, "No, Luo Shu is really unlucky to have met me. She should regret meeting me."
Xu Can didn't say anything, but put some food on his plate.
Xu Can didn't know what had happened between them, but it certainly wasn't pleasant.
Qin Heng didn't say anything, and Xu Can didn't ask.
She felt quite impressed when she saw Luo Shu and Yu Yu busy in the room today.
Moreover, Luo Shu was pregnant.
There's a reason Qin Heng likes her, and there's also a reason Luo Shu was able to marry a wealthy man.

After sending Yu Yu back, Gan Chang'an took Luo Shu to pick up Yu Zhan.
They dared not delay today, fearing that Yu Zhan would throw another tantrum, complaining for a long time if they were even a minute or two late.
"Madam, should we talk to the master about what happened today? Maybe he can help." Gan Chang'an glanced at Luo Shu, who looked exhausted, in the rearview mirror.
Luo Shu lifted her heavy eyelids. "I'll talk to him later."
Now she's used to it and tells him about everything, big and small. But it's really hard to bring up his birthday, so for now, Leng Xichen can only continue to carry the blame.
The car stopped in front of the Luo Group building. Yu Zhan opened the door and got in.
"I learned my lesson today and wasn't late." Yu Zhan seemed to be in a good mood.
Luo Shu couldn't help but chuckle, "Are you that happy?"
"It's better to be remembered than to be forgotten, isn't it?"
"..." Who has forgotten you?
"Did you fall asleep this afternoon? I haven't heard from you in so long."
Yu Zhan took off his cumbersome suit jacket, revealing that his white shirt underneath was already half-soaked.
"I made a last-minute trip to Madam Ling's house this afternoon. Something came up unexpectedly, but thankfully it wasn't anything serious."
"Do you need your husband's help? Or have him give us a heads-up in the early morning?"
"Not for now. If I don't get the result I want by tomorrow, I'll contact you again." - Luo Shu
Yu Zhan didn't hug her; he was covered in sweat, but seeing her exhausted face, he felt a pang of heartache.
"Once you finish Madam Ling's order, stop working and rest at home."
Luo Shu leaned her head closer and said, "I understand."
That was her original plan.
