Chapter 54: I can't bear to see it
Du Yuxi's pupils shrank slightly. She never thought that she would meet the Li family before the banquet.
After being stunned for a moment, he still gave the same answer with a faint smile: "Maybe I have an ordinary face."
Mrs. Li also laughed, "You look like a celebrity. How can you be an ordinary person? I can hear your accent and it seems you are not a local."
"Yes, we are from S City."
"So you're from S City. No wonder your accent doesn't sound like a local. Is this your first time in J City? Do you need our help?"
Du Yuxi opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Du Anrao started laughing first.
[Hahahaha, I can hear this calculation in S City. Even if this aunt is not a member of the Li family, she must be related to Fourth Sister's mother.]
Du Yuxi's fingers were slightly curled up due to excessive nervousness, and even the joints were slightly white.
"Will it be too much trouble for you?"
"No, no, we are here to go shopping, it will be more lively if we walk together."
As if she was afraid that the two of them might be suspicious, Mrs. Li sighed with melancholy after she finished speaking, and said with a look of nostalgia: "My daughter is about the same age as you. She used to go shopping with me often. Unfortunately, she went abroad to study in the past two years, and now she can only come back a few times a year. So when I see young people like you, I can't help but pay more attention to you."
"By the way, my last name is Li, which means "fragrant wine is poured over the head of Pi wine, fishy water is washed by Li springs". If you don't mind, you can call me Aunt Li."
"Li?" Du Yuxi lowered her head and chewed on this not very common surname, seeming to be thinking about something.
However, Du Anrao completely confirmed the identity of the person in front of him by this surname.
[It's really Madam Li! Madam Li's real name is Li Zhanyan. She was born in the century-old wealthy Li family in City A. She lives just one street away from the Su family where the fourth sister's biological mother Su Yingrong lives. So the two have known each other since childhood, and later became sisters-in-law by accident, and their relationship became even better. ]
[The daughter is referring to Li Yuesheng, right? Mr. Xi mentioned before that Li Yuesheng was still abroad and couldn't come back to ask for an autograph in person from his second brother, so he asked him to help. Tsk, tsk, tsk, isn't this right? ]
When Du Anrao mentioned her biological mother again, Du Yuxi felt complicated and forgot to react for a moment.
Fortunately, Mrs. Li didn't care, and even took the initiative to bring up the topic in order to avoid arousing the suspicion of the two men.
"I see you guys tried on a lot of clothes just now and you're not satisfied with them. Do you not like the style of the clothes in this store?"
Du Yuxi took a deep breath to calm down, glanced at the clothes she had compared almost all, and sighed: "The clothes in this store are very beautiful, but they are not suitable for me and my sister, and they are a little... too high-profile for a banquet."
Mrs. Li and Mrs. Xi looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
The target audience of the store that Du Yuxi and her friend entered is between the ages of 25 and 35. Although the materials and styles are good, the color selection is very bright and eye-catching, which is indeed a bit mature for the two girls.
"I remember there is a women's clothing store two or three doors to the left. The overall style is pretty and fresh, suitable for girls of their age. And that store also has dresses designed specifically for dinner parties. I think you can find the type that you like and is suitable for you."
As the largest landlady in the mall, Mrs. Xi quickly thought of a store that would suit their needs.
Du Anrao and the other man looked at each other and thought it was feasible.
"Then let's go over and take a look. Aunt Li, you guys..."
Before Du Yuxi finished speaking, Madam Li grabbed a piece of clothing from the side and said, "We've already bought it. We can go with you to have a look, so you don't have to go to the wrong place and waste time."
Du Yuxi: “…”
Du Anrao stood silently behind Du Yuxi as a background board. Hearing this, the curious cat poked its head out to take a look.
[Wow, if I'm not mistaken, that's a low-cut backless dress. I didn't expect that auntie is quite hot in private! ]
Mrs. Xi, who also noticed that her sister had grabbed something, said: “…” She couldn’t bear to watch it.
Du Anrao and the others paid the bill as quickly as possible and walked out of the clothing store. However, before they reached the store that Mrs. Xi mentioned, they met an acquaintance.
"Mrs. Li, Mrs. Xi."
Mrs. Li and the other two were surprised when they saw the newcomer: "Boss Qiu? Why are you here too?"
The woman called Ms. Qiu looked to be in her early forties. She was wearing a smart white shirt and black pants, and had short hair. Although she had makeup on, the fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes still revealed her true age.
"There's a small problem with the store over here, I'll come over to take a look." Mr. Qiu raised his hand and pointed to the jewelry store not far away.
Duanrao looked up and saw a few big words on the jewelry store.
[Ya Yu Shi Jia? Why does this name sound so familiar? Oh, I remember, the jewelry set my second brother gave me seemed to be from this brand. I remember that my second brother seemed to be the spokesperson for this brand? But I always feel like I have heard this name somewhere before, and this Mr. Qiu...]
Du Anrao really couldn't remember where he had heard of this person, so he could only stand aside and pretend to be a passerby.
They didn't want to ask too much about other people's shops, so Mrs. Li changed the subject.
"Didn't Ji Chen come with you? I heard that he has recently helped the company negotiate several big contracts with great results. The child has finally grown up and is still so outstanding. You have finally reaped the rewards of your hard work. You can at least relax a little in the future."
When Mr. Qiu heard Mrs. Li mention her son, his expression softened visibly.
"He went to the west to confirm the raw materials two days ago, and he won't be back for a few days."
"So that's how it is."
Mrs. Li just asked casually, and when she heard that Qiu Jichen was not in the country, she stopped asking.
On the contrary, Du Anrao, who had been silent on the side, finally remembered where he had seen this brand and Mr. Qiu when he heard what the two said.
[No wonder her children's palace looked so dim just now. It turns out that her son is the unlucky young master of the Yayu family who was deceived online and played with his feelings, and finally died abroad.]
Died abroad?!
Du Yuxi's eyes narrowed slightly, and she subconsciously turned to look at the woman who was still talking to Madam Li.
Speaking of Ms. Qiu, she is also a rare and extraordinary woman. She and her husband started from scratch and created the "Ya Yu Shi Jia" brand. She suffered a lot when she was young.
Later, when she was older, she had a son, Qiu Jichen. However, her husband died unexpectedly when her son was less than three years old, leaving the widow and the orphan helpless.
Although the company was founded by herself and her husband, ever since she had a son, Ms. Qiu has focused on her family.
The sudden death of her husband was a huge blow to her and the company.
In addition, she had been away from the company for three or four years, and many shareholders had their own ideas and wanted to take this opportunity to snatch the company from the hands of the orphan and widow.
At that time, Mr. Qiu was deserted by his friends and relatives and was having a hard time, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered, splitting up and reorganizing the company, which led to the Yayu Family we have today.
