After they finished their dessert, they parted ways.
Lin Ziyan and Pang Niu were going to the night market. They deliberately skipped dinner to save room for the local snacks.
The dessert shop only stays open until 8 p.m., otherwise they wouldn't have come here first.
"They speak softly and gently, it's so pleasant to hear," the chubby girl whispered, her eyes full of laughter.
The two took out shawls from their bags and strolled around leisurely.
They stopped at a small stall and picked out several sachets, each with a different scent.
"Aunt Tang, is the round fan I ordered ready?"
Lin Ziyan turned her head and saw the beautiful woman in the cheongsam today; her eyes flickered.
Su Nan smiled faintly and nodded at her.
"It's been made for a while now. Not many people use round fans anymore, so there aren't many orders." The shopkeeper hurriedly took the round fan out of the bamboo basket.
Before Su Nan could take it, the fan was snatched away.
Lin Ziyan and the chubby girl exchanged a glance and quietly moved aside.
There are many people coming and going here, but there aren't many people robbing things in the street.
"Aunt Tang, I'll take these. How much?" The woman who snatched the fan smiled smugly.
Su Nan glanced at her coldly, not in a hurry to say anything.
Aunt Tang looked at her with difficulty, "These round fans are custom-made. Why don't you take a look at the ones on the table?"
"Custom-made? Hasn't the Su family fallen on hard times? Do they still deserve to use custom-made things?" The woman sneered, waving her fan, but there was no mirth in her eyes.
"Yi Ting, don't go looking for trouble. What does it matter to you whether the Su family is down on its luck or not? Did we eat your rice?" Su Nan said coolly.
As members of the same Yi family, Yi Ting and Yi Lanying are incomparable.
Yi Lanying doesn't rely on her family, and after being admitted to a university in Beijing, she doesn't show off in front of outsiders.
Yi Ting, on the other hand, relied on her family to attend university in Teng City. She constantly compared herself to her older sister, Yi Lanying, and also competed with others everywhere.
This night market street was specially approved by Mayor Yi, and Yi Ting often came here to eat and drink for free, and sometimes even took things from the stalls for free.
It's not worth much money, and the people in charge here didn't report it to higher authorities because of Mayor Yi's influence.
Yi Ting knew they wouldn't tell her father, so she often brought her classmates here to show off her status.
Lin Ziyan was watching the commotion from the sidelines when she heard Yi Ting's name called out, and she immediately understood Yi Ting's identity.
"Aunt Tang, I'm taking these fans with me." Yi Ting glared at Su Nan and put the fans directly into her cloth bag.
Aunt Tang pursed her lips tightly, not daring to utter a sound.
Even those who set up stalls here dared not offend the Yi family.
Su Nan wasn't going to tolerate her. She grabbed her hand, snatched back the fan, and paid Aunt Tang.
No matter how down on their luck the Su family is, they wouldn't be so vulnerable as to be bullied without daring to fight back.
Would Yi Ting dare to report this to her father?
Su Nan was certain she wouldn't dare.
"You just wait." Yi Ting really didn't dare to use force, afraid that Su Nan would tell Yi Lanying.
She thought Su Nan would put up with it for Aunt Tang's sake, but she didn't expect Su Nan to be so tough this time.
After uttering those harsh words, Yi Ting was pulled away by her classmates.
Aunt Tang watched them leave, her face filled with worry.
The stalls here are in high demand, and she was afraid that the managers would kick her out to curry favor with the Yi family.
The whole family depends on her small stall for food and drink.
Su Nan saw through her thoughts. "Don't worry, she won't dare to complain. At most, she'll say a few sarcastic remarks to me when she sees me later."
"Lan Ying won't let her touch the stall owners here."
Aunt Tang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Miss Su, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
Su Nan waved her hand, took the fan, walked to the car parked not far away, and drove away.
Lin Ziyan looked in the direction she left, raising an eyebrow.
If Su Nan were running Fuyuan now, she would never agree to cooperate with the Lin family.
Fuyuan is doing well now, and it has preserved the unique formula of Su family rouge.
Aside from perfumes and skin-softening creams, the Su family's rouge is not much different from the Lin family's.
Their lipsticks have a bright color and last a long time.
Lin Ziyan has now abandoned the idea of cooperation and instead wants to find someone to run the Lin family's rouge shop.
…
Back home, Yi Ting immediately complained to her mother that Su Nan had stolen her fan and that the stall owner had sided with her.
The Yi family lives in a residential compound, in a separate two-story building.
This place used to be the staff housing of Fujishi University. After the university moved, it was converted into a residential compound for family members.
The two-story detached house used to be for university professors, and the garden was very elegantly designed.
After the Yi family moved in, they only slightly changed the doors and windows, keeping the original decoration of the house.
Tengshi is very humid, so the first floor is tiled and the second floor is wooden.
Knowing her youngest daughter well, Yi's mother was surprised by the discrepancy in her words. "Tell me the truth, did you steal something from Su Nan?"
"For your Aunt Jiang's sake, you should restrain yourself a bit."
Aunt Tang, who makes round fans, was the wife of the former housekeeper of the Su family. Yi's mother knew Aunt Tang's personality.
Yi Lanying came out of the shower and was using the Su family's skin cream, so she didn't join their conversation.
Su Nan would never bully anyone; she believed that from the bottom of her heart.
Yi Ting was spoiled by her maternal grandfather and became increasingly arrogant and domineering.
It's understandable that her sister-in-law doesn't like her; who would like a sister-in-law who's always searching through their closet for clothes?
"None of you are helping me," Yi Ting said, throwing a tantrum and refusing to listen to her mother's lecture.
Yi's mother tapped her forehead, "If you don't change your ways, you'll suffer sooner or later."
“Your dad said that if he finds anyone in the family abusing their power in his name, he’ll beat them out of the house with a big stick.”
The Yi family has come a long way, and Yi's mother knows this all too well.
She is now adept at socializing with others, but she is completely helpless when it comes to her youngest daughter's spoiled nature.
Yi Ting shrank back, not daring to say anything more.
However, a dark glint flashed in her eyes; if her family wouldn't help, she would find a way.
Su Nan cares most about Fu Yuan, so she'll start with Fu Yuan.
Her mother kept nagging, but she couldn't listen to a word she said.
The Su family used to be powerful, but they were only able to survive thanks to the Yi family.
Why is Su Nan still so arrogant? People should avoid her and be grateful for the Yi family's help.
When Yi Lanying saw her sister's expression in the mirror, her eyelids twitched, and she thought to herself, "I must keep an eye on her."
"If you can't change your temper, the family will send you abroad to study next year." Seeing her expression, Yi's mother knew that she hadn't taken her words to heart, so she didn't say anything more.
The youngest daughter was spoiled by her father; he couldn't be blamed, so drastic measures had to be taken.
Yi Ting: "I'm not going."
After she finished speaking, she got up and ran out of her sister's room.
Yi's mother sighed, feeling only disappointment.
She was very satisfied with the wife her eldest son had married, and her eldest daughter had been admitted to a university in Beijing. If her youngest daughter were more sensible, she wouldn't have much to worry about.
No matter how down on their luck the Su family is, their foundation is still far superior to that of the Yi family.
If the Lin family were still in Teng City...
"My sister-in-law is taking foreign guests to Fuyuan tomorrow, and I'll go with her." Yi Lanying knew what bothered her and changed the subject.
Yi's mother patted her hand, "Yes, you should get along well with Su Nan, and don't learn from your sister."
Fujishi is currently attracting foreign investment, and all departments have been busy lately.
