Chapter 140 Standing Up for Her Mother-in-Law
Qiao Siying took off her sunglasses, scrutinized Chu Rou in front of her, and after a moment her eyes lit up, "I remember, I remember, your name is Chu Rou, right?"
Chu Rou smiled and nodded, "Yes, I am now President Chi's special assistant."
“I’ve heard about it,” Qiao Siying said, taking Chu Rou’s hand. “Mo Chi said you’re exceptionally capable.”
Just as Chu Rou was thinking about how to continue the conversation, Qi Lin arrived.
"Sister Chu Rou, what a coincidence! Are you here shopping too?" Qi Lin ran over and took Chu Rou's arm.
Chu Rou smiled knowingly, "Yes, I didn't expect to run into you and Aunt Qiao."
"Aunt Qiao, let's join Sister Chu Rou. It'll be more lively with more people," Qi Lin suggested.
Qiao Siying agreed, "Okay, let's go upstairs!"
Upstairs was a luxury boutique. When Chu Rou went up, the place was empty except for the staff.
Chu Rou thought to herself that business here was so bad, she wondered how long it could last.
Qiao Siying led the two into a clothing store first, where four bodyguards stood guard at the entrance.
Upon seeing Qiao Siying, the store manager personally came over to greet her respectfully, saying, "Mrs. Mo, you've arrived. The new clothes have all been prepared for you."
Qiao Siying pushed Qi Lin and Chu Rou to the front, "Let the two young ladies pick out a couple of outfits first."
Chu Rou casually picked up a piece of clothing, then glanced at the price tag: 80,000!
The store manager came over and said, "Miss, this is last year's model. The new model is over there. Let me take you to see it."
Chu Rou suddenly felt uncertain. The old model cost 80,000 yuan, and the new model must be even more expensive. She wondered how many clothes she could buy with her bank account balance.
Chu Rou followed the store manager over and tried on two coats. In her opinion, these clothes, which cost tens of thousands of yuan, were nothing special and were about the same quality as the clothes she had bought for a few hundred yuan before.
Perhaps the lack is in the service. Here, there is one-on-one service, and you can choose from coffee, drinks, and tea, as well as a variety of desserts.
Chu Rou was so well taken care of that she felt embarrassed not to buy anything, so she chose two coats and two blouses.
Qi Lin tried on seven or eight items, but eventually got too lazy to try any more and asked the shop assistant to pack up all the ones she had tried on.
Qiao Siying had also tried on her clothes. When it was time to pay, Chu Rou took Mo Chi's bank card to pay, but was told that her clothes had already been charged to Mrs. Mo's account.
Chu Rou turned to look at Qiao Siying, "Aunt Qiao, how could I accept this!"
"It's alright, just keep track of the expenses. With an elder like me around, how could I let you younger generation spend money!"
Chu Rou thought it was only right for her mother-in-law to buy her two pieces of clothing, so she didn't refuse.
Qiao Siying then instructed the store manager, "Could you please deliver these clothes to my home?"
“Yes, Mrs. Mo,” the shop manager said, pointing to Chu Rou and Qi Lin’s clothes, “do you also need these ladies’ clothes delivered?”
Qi Lin didn't want to carry the clothes herself, so she left her home address.
Chu Rou hesitated. Wouldn't writing down her apartment address give her away? So she picked up her clothes bag and said, "I don't have much, so I don't need to."
After leaving the clothing store, Qiao Siying took the two of them to the next shoe store.
Chu Rou regretted it. If she kept shopping like this, she would buy so many things that her two hands seemed insufficient to carry them all.
It wouldn't be good not to buy them, so Qiao Siying and Qi Lin tried on several pairs of shoes.
Ever since Chu Rou sprained her ankle, Mo Chi has forbidden her from wearing high heels. She took a fancy to a pair of Martin boots, put them on, stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself from left to right. She thought they were pretty cool and liked them.
At this moment, it became noisy outside the door, with women's voices and footsteps getting closer and closer to the shop where they were.
Chu Rou turned her head and saw two women standing at the entrance of the shoe store, one old and one young, followed by six or seven bodyguards.
The young woman, Chu Rou, seemed familiar, but she couldn't quite place her.
The two women's gazes swept over Chu Rou, finally settling on Qiao Siying.
The store manager panicked as soon as she saw the two women at the door. She walked over and said humbly, "Mrs. Mo, Mrs. Mo, why didn't you call ahead to make an appointment?"
Mrs. Mo? Young Master Mo's wife? Chu Rou was shocked. She looked at Qi Lin with her eyes, asking what was going on.
Qi Lin ran to Chu Rou's side with small steps and explained in a low voice, "Those two women, one is Mo Yuan's biological mother, and the other is Mo Yuan's wife."
Oh! Chu Rou's eyes widened as she watched the scene that was about to erupt.
Chu Rou pulled Qi Lin to walk behind Qiao Siying.
Qiao Siying's bodyguards tried to stop Deng Fei and Jiang Simin, but they were outnumbered and the latter had brought more people, so the bodyguards were kept outside.
Deng Fei and Jiang Simin pushed past the store manager and walked in.
Jiang Simin walked up to Qiao Siying, looked up at her, and glanced at her sideways. "I thought someone had made such a big fuss, clearing out the entire floor."
Cleared out? Only then did Chu Rou realize that it wasn't that the mall was deserted, but that it had been cleared out early.
Qiao Siying's face turned ugly, and she turned her head away. "What a bad day. I ran into shameless people. It was an eyesore."
"Who are you calling shameless?" Jiang Simin raised her voice. "You're the most shameless one. You've learned to seduce other people's husbands at such a young age."
"Who can compare to you in shamelessness?" Qiao Siying's voice trembled slightly. "You've never been married into the Mo family, yet you call yourself Mrs. Mo outside."
Chu Rou discovered that Qiao Siying seemed to have an incontinence condition when she cried. As soon as she got emotional, tears would flow first, and her voice would tremble uncontrollably. How could she possibly win an argument like this!
“If it weren’t for you, I would have married Mo Anbang long ago,” Jiang Simin said, pointing at Qiao Siying. “It’s all your fault, you vixen.”
Qiao Siying became increasingly agitated and was already sobbing uncontrollably.
Chu Rou couldn't stand by and watch her mother-in-law be bullied, so she stepped forward and stood in front of Qiao Siying.
"Madam, since you have never been married, it is indeed inappropriate for you to call yourself Mrs. Mo in public. Your behavior of forcing this connection is really shameless."
Jiang Simin's expression changed drastically. She glared at Chu Rou and shouted angrily, "Who are you? Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that?"
Chu Rou crossed her arms, looked at Jiang Simin with disdain, and sneered, "I don't care who you are, but I can tell that you're just a piece of trash who steals other people's husbands."
Qi Lin supported Qiao Siying, her eyes filled with admiration for Chu Rou. Sister Chu Rou is truly brave!
Qiao Siying also stopped crying and looked at Chu Rou with teary eyes. She thought Chu Rou's cursing voice sounded really nice.
Jiang Simin's face flushed red, and she raised her hand to slap Chu Rou.
"Chu Rou!" Qiao Siying exclaimed and closed her eyes.
Two seconds passed, and she heard no sound. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Chu Rou holding Jiang Simin's wrist.
Qiao Siying clutched her heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Rou tightened her grip, and Jiang Simin cried out in pain, "Let go of me!"
"good!"
Jiang Simin tried to break free of Chu Rou's wrist, but Chu Rou pushed her away. Jiang Simin staggered back a few steps, lost her balance, and fell to the ground.
Deng Fei rushed over to help Jiang Simin up, "Mom, are you alright!"
Jiang Simin shook off Deng Fei and shouted to the bodyguards behind her, "Are you all dead? You're just watching me get bullied. Beat me up, but leave me alive!"
