“How could that be?” Xu Pingshan didn’t believe her daughter’s words at all. “Men’s clothes are all pretty much the same. Your dad’s handmade suit only costs 100,000 yuan, and the cufflinks and stuff are only a few thousand yuan from Hermes.”
“I have a classmate whose brother is super rich. The suit he’s wearing is said to be made from the finest down from musk oxen that only live in the Arctic. Those oxen only molt once a year, and the down is hand-collected by nomadic tribes. It costs hundreds of thousands of yuan. I’ve seen it once, and it’s similar to the one my cousin’s husband is wearing. With sapphire cufflinks and such, it must be very expensive.”
Ma Xiaolin spoke her own opinion without consulting anyone else.
Her tone was very casual, and Xu Pingshan didn't take it to heart. She said directly, "You should watch less TV dramas. Let alone a suit worth 500,000 yuan, even a suit worth 200,000 yuan is not something ordinary people wear casually. It's only worn on formal occasions. There are very few people in the whole country who wear a suit worth 500,000 yuan every day, not to mention in Beicheng. Your classmate's brother probably just came to pick him up after attending some important meeting."
Ma Xiaolin pursed her lips.
After her mother said that, she realized that she might have really misjudged the situation.
However, she still exclaimed, "My cousin's husband is really handsome, a bit like a CEO in a novel. But he wears glasses, unlike typical domineering CEOs. He's more like the devoted second male lead."

Over the weekend, Jiang Tingzhou went on a business trip, and Xu Wan went to see Tang Lu and had her sign a power of attorney.
Given her circumstances, it's absolutely impossible for her to appear in court when the case goes to trial.
We can only entrust her to handle this lawsuit.
Xu Wan had just entered Tang Lu's ward when she saw Xiao Jinqi there as well.
"Aunt Xu!" Little Jinqi saw Xu Wan, stood up from her chair, and skipped over. "Are you here to see Aunt Tang too?"
"Jinqi? You seem to have grown a little taller, and your face is a bit chubby too."
Xu Wan looked Xiao Jinqi up and down.
The little girl has visibly gained weight; not only that, her skin has also become much fairer, and her cheeks have developed some baby fat, making her look very cute.
Xiao Jinqi nodded shyly: "It's because Aunt Xu and Uncle Jiang, Uncle Su, the Dean, Aunt Tang and Aunt Tang's parents, everyone is so kind to me. They buy me delicious food and pretty clothes, and they even teach me pinyin..."
"Alright, alright," Tang Lu said, lying on the bed and looking at her with a smile. "The list of thank-yous is so long!"
"It's because everyone is really nice to me, and the nurses are too, they're very nice to me too." Xiao Jinqi looked a little shy.
Tang Lu said to Xu Wan, "I had my dad pick her up. I can't get out of bed these days, and my parents have to go to work, so I asked her to stay here with me, help me with things, and so on..."
“I’m so happy to be here!” Xiao Jinqi suddenly said. “Aunt Tang bought me books, taught me things, and said she would send me to school in a while.”
She was afraid that Xu Wan would misunderstand and think that Tang Lu had only asked her for help.
Xu Wan had a difficult childhood, so she understands Xiao Jinqi's thoughts all too well.
Sensitive and humble, with a people-pleasing personality, always thinking of others first.
"Yes, I'm glad you could come and keep her company." Xu Wan patted Xiao Jinqi, then took out a power of attorney from her bag and gave it to Tang Lu. "Sign this. Given your situation, the court hearing has been postponed and you can't go anyway, so I'll go in your place."
Tang Lu took the power of attorney, asked where to sign it, and then used her left hand to write her signature in the designated place.
After confirming that her name was signed, she looked up and asked, "Xu Wan, Zhou Kun has ruined me like this, so I can't get a divorce?"
As Tang Lu spoke, there was even a hint of despair in her eyes.
