Chapter 53

After Song Shu and Chen Zonghao finished touring his company, the man glanced at her before leaving and said casually, "The upper floor of this building is also for rent. Aren't you planning to open a design studio in the future?"

Song Shu stopped and turned to look at him, "Do you have such a plan? Is the upper floor for rent?"

She was somewhat tempted by the suggestion made by Chen Zonghao. She had been planning to open a design studio because she could not receive customers at home all day. At the beginning, she did this out of helplessness because she had no money, but now that she had made money, she planned to move to a spacious office to open a design studio.

On the one hand, a design studio can be used as a facade to better receive customers, and on the other hand, she plans to hire some designers because a clothing company cannot have only one designer, otherwise as the business grows bigger and bigger, she will be overwhelmed. Moreover, only by absorbing more new blood can a design studio go further.

The office that Chen Zonghao rented was in the CBD area of ​​Central. There were many companies gathered here, various commercial shops, and convenient facilities. It could be said to be a prime location. Another reason was that it was also close to the house they bought, which made it much more convenient for Song Shu to go to work.

Thinking about the many advantages, Song Shu became more and more tempted. The only drawback was that the rent might not be cheap, so she asked Chen Zonghao, "How much is the monthly rent here?"

Chen Zonghao stood beside her with his hands in his pockets and looked down at her. "50,000 Hong Kong dollars a month."

Song Shu actually thought it was okay, but you have to know that the price is actually not cheap. Nowadays in Hong Kong, it only costs a few hundred Hong Kong dollars to rent a house, and it costs one to two thousand Hong Kong dollars per square foot to buy a house, so this rent is relatively expensive.

Song Shu thought about how much she was going to spend if she bought it, so she couldn't help but ask, "How much does it cost to buy the next floor?"

The two of them walked towards the elevator while talking. Chen Zonghao pressed the elevator button and replied to her, "About four or five million."

Song Shu's face went blank after hearing this. She was the one who disturbed him. With this price, she could buy her two previous houses.

Although the clothing factory she co-opened with Ms. Du has a monthly income of two to three million, it has only been open for more than three months. She spent one-third of the money on buying a building, and she plans to use the rest to open a factory. It is not necessary to buy a building and open a studio now. Renting is more cost-effective. Maybe she can buy it after the funds are turned around next year.

The elevator door opened, and Song Shu and her partner walked in. The elevator went up one floor and stopped, and the two walked out.

All I saw was an empty office with some garbage on the floor left by the previous company.

The layout of the room was the same as that of Chen Zonghao's company downstairs. After taking a look around, Song Shu was quite satisfied. She could open the studio after some decoration.

Song Shu made the decision, "Okay, then I'll rent this floor as an office."

Then he turned to look at Chen Zonghao and said, "Please tell the boss that I have signed the lease. I will also need to renovate it after the lease..."

Song Shu was muttering to herself that she needed to find workers for the renovation and also to find an interior designer to decorate the office according to her requirements.

Chen Zonghao listened to her and said, "You can use the labor I hired for office decoration before. There are many interior designers in Hong Kong now. You can slowly find one that satisfies you."

Song Shu nodded as she listened, "Well, I'll trouble you to contact the decorator after I find a designer to draw up the plan."

The two of them talked as they walked back into the elevator and took it to the first floor.

Standing downstairs, Song Shu suddenly thought of the house she bought before and wondered how it was renovated. So she asked Chen Zonghao, "Has the house we bought been renovated?"

It has been more than a month since she bought the house, and she was so busy that she almost forgot about it.

After hearing what she said, Chen Zonghao touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed, "I fixed it some time ago, but I forgot to tell you." After all, there were not many places to change and it wouldn't take much time.

Song Shu was a little surprised when she heard this, "Then we can go and take a look."

"Oh, that's not right. I didn't bring the key." Song Shu said with some regret.

Chen Zonghao said, "It's okay. We can go over and ask the previous manager to open the door for us. There are spare keys at the sales office that hasn't changed the door."

Song Shu thought so and nodded, "Then let's go and take a look."

"Get in the car."

It only takes five or six minutes to drive from the office to the house they bought.

＊

Salesperson Jia Jia has been the object of envy and hatred in the sales office ever since she sold two luxury houses within just one week of starting work. As a result, Jia Jia has been extremely low-key recently. Even when some employees tried to snatch customers from her secretly, she endured it at the thought of the HK$100,000 deposited into her card.

Fortunately, the manager probably thought she was a sales talent and promoted her, so she was not marginalized.

Sometimes when other salespeople ask her the secret to selling a house, Jia Jia always tells them that the secret is to be honest.

Some people believed her and some people said she was pretending not to tell the truth, but Jia Jia didn't bother to pay attention to them. What she said was the truth. What secret did she have? It was just not to judge people by their appearance and to be sincere to others.

So when she heard her manager ask her to take the keys from the two previous customers, she rushed over without saying a word.

Song Shu saw that the person who brought them the key was the previous salesperson, and the person politely said to them, "Ms. Song, Mr. Chen, I will go with you. I'd like to ask you to take the key back later."

Song Shu nodded and said, "Thank you for your help."

Jia Jia shook her head with a smile on her face, "No trouble."

Song Shu and the other two walked towards the building. When they arrived, Jia Jia opened the door for them and stood in front of the elevator waiting for them, but did not go in.

Song Shu felt that the girl's service attitude was quite good. She was neither too enthusiastic as to disturb them nor too polite.

Song Shu walked in and found a fireplace next to the French window. The kitchen was also changed to a semi-open style. The whole room was completely transformed according to her dream room, which made her extremely satisfied.

Song Shu turned to Chen Zonghao and smiled, "I'm very satisfied with the change. Thank you."

Chen Zonghao also laughed with her, "As long as you are satisfied."

Song Shu walked around again and found that there was no problem. She said, "The house can be left for a month or two to ventilate, and then we can move in. We can invite Liang's wife and others to have a meal to celebrate the move. What about you? When are you going to move in?"

Song Shu turned and looked at Chen Zonghao and asked.

Chen Zonghao glanced at her and said, "I'm the same as you. I'll move when you move."

After hearing this, Song Shu silently looked away, knowing that he would do this. However, when she heard that he would move in with them, Song Shu felt relieved. Not to mention, she had gotten used to having Jiahui accompany her every night in the past few months, and she would still feel a little uncomfortable if they were suddenly separated.

After Song Shu and her companion finished looking at the house, they walked out, locked the door, gave the key to the salesperson, and left after eating.

Jia Jia stood there and watched Song Shu and Chen Zonghao walk away. She felt a little puzzled and curious. When they came together to buy a house before, she thought they were a young couple. She was also wondering why they bought two houses. Even if they had a lot of money, they wouldn't spend it like this.

But after these two times of getting along, she found that they were still somewhat different from other couples. They seemed intimate but also somewhat restrained. Jia Jia shook her head and thought, forget it, she didn't understand.

After Song Shu and Chen Zonghao left, they signed up for a driving class before going home.

＊

In the next few days, Song Shu signed the lease contract for that floor. She rented it for one year and had the priority right to rent it when the lease expired.

After renting an office, the next step was to find an interior designer to design the interior of the company. Song Shu contacted several designers and finally decided on one. She signed a contract with him and paid a deposit.

After finishing the work in the studio, Azhibo delivered a batch of finished ancient costumes to her that day. There was also an old man with them. Song Shu had met an old man before when she asked Azhibo to find a group of tailors to sign the contract with them.

But usually Uncle Zhi and his daughter Lingling came together to deliver the baby, but today it was an old man instead. Song Shu found it a little strange, "Isn't Lingling coming with us today?"

A Zhibo smiled, a rare expression on his face, "Lingling was admitted to university and is busy with school matters. I let her take care of her own things. She doesn't need to come with me."

So that's how it is. When Song Shu heard that Lingling was admitted to university, she was very happy for her and said, "Congratulations, Uncle Zhi."

Azhibo nodded modestly, "Thank you."

At this time, the old man next to him said sincerely: "Thank you, Boss Song, for giving us old guys a job opportunity. Otherwise, we old guys would be kicked out one day and have no place to live."

Song Shu didn't quite understand what he meant. It looked like he had encountered something, so she couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"

The old man bowed his hands and said, "Every family has its own problems."

The uncle's surname is Fang and people usually call him Uncle Fang. When he was young, he worked as an apprentice to an old tailor, learned a good skill, opened a small shop of his own, specializing in sewing clothes for others, and then married a wife.

He raised his two sons with his tailoring skills. Later, in order to help his two sons get married and have children, and with the economic development, more and more clothing factories opened in Hong Kong. The clothes on the market were diverse, cheap and good-looking, resulting in fewer and fewer people looking for tailors to make clothes. His shop could no longer be run, and at the persuasion of his two sons, he simply sold the shop and found wives for his two sons.

Later, as the two sons had children, the house that the family had bought many years ago could no longer accommodate them. At the urging of his two sons, Fang Bo sold the small house and used most of his life's savings to buy a bigger one, but the money was still not enough. In the end, the two sons agreed that each of them would pay half of the mortgage every month.

This year, his wife fell ill and the hospitalization expenses increased, so the two sons began to complain and became more and more dissatisfied with him and his wife. They said that they were the two brothers who were paying off the mortgage for this apartment, and that the children had grown up and needed more space. They wanted to drive Fang Bo and his wife out openly or secretly. The two daughters-in-law also gave them a cold shoulder every day, and even the grandsons and granddaughters were disrespectful to them.

Fang Bo and his wife were the most useless voices in this family. They were unhappy every day living in that family, and his wife's health was getting worse and worse in this atmosphere.

Fang Bo also took some tailoring work again, but there were not many places that needed tailoring nowadays. Most of them were odd jobs of sewing and mending. He could earn one or two dollars each time, but there was not always work every day. After all, there were not many people in Hong Kong who were willing to wear mended clothes, and clothes were cheap nowadays, so they didn't have to be worn out before changing.

Just at this time, Azhi came to the door and said that there was a female boss who needed some skilled tailors to make some handmade clothes for her, and the price for each piece of clothing was different.

When Fang Bo heard A Zhibo say that each piece of handmade clothing would be given 5,000 Hong Kong dollars, Fang Bo thought he was deaf and asked tremblingly, "How much, 5,000?"

A Zhibo glanced at the old man's excited expression. Not to mention him, he was also very excited when he first heard it, although not as out of control as the old man, "You heard it right, it's 5,000 Hong Kong dollars per piece of clothing, and it needs to be handmade. But even if there are no such big orders in the future, we still have a basic salary of 1,000 Hong Kong dollars."

A Zhibo was almost in tears, and nodded vigorously, "I'll do it. Even if there are no big orders, a basic salary of 1,000 Hong Kong dollars is more than enough."

Besides, he is only in his fifties now and can definitely continue working for another ten or twenty years. The money he earns is more than enough for him and his wife to enjoy their old age.

After taking over the job from Boss Song, Fang Bo received the first salary for his clothing and quickly rented a room far away from his two sons. It was not big, just enough for him and his wife to live in, but Fang Bo and his wife were extremely satisfied.

Therefore, Fang Bo was extremely grateful to Song Shu, "Thank you so much, Boss Song. You are the lifesaver of me and my wife."

Song Shu felt that this thank you was very heavy, and said to Fang Bo with a smile: "Fang Bo, you don't have to thank me. This money is earned by your own ability. Don't feel burdened."

Fang Bo still said thank you again. There is no shortage of capable people in today's society, but having ability does not mean you have opportunities. Moreover, they are all old people, and no one would be willing to hire people of their age to work.

Song Shu looked at Fang Bo and actually wanted to ask if he was just going to let his two sons go. After all, half of the house belonged to Fang Bo and his wife. However, after sensing his helplessness in his words, Song Shu finally did not ask.

After Fang Bo and A Zhi Bo walked out of the clothing store, A Zhi Bo said to him rudely, "You should have kicked those two BBQ bastards out of the house. Why did you and your wife have to leave? It doesn't make sense."

Fang Bo sighed deeply, "What is the truth?"

He felt it was unfair to raise two char siu sons, but that was the fact. The two sons didn't care about their parents' life or death. He once secretly heard the two sons say that they didn't want to spend money on their mother's treatment when she was sick. It was as if they didn't care about their parents' life or death at all. How could these two old guys fight with them? He had seen news reports about some elderly people being abused to death.

So in the end he and his wife discussed it and decided to leave, to stay away from them so that they couldn't find them and they wouldn't cling to them and suck their blood anymore. Amitabha.

＊

At noon, when Chen Zonghao came back to pick up Song Shu for driving lessons, he noticed that the person sitting in the passenger seat looked a little unhappy, so he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Song Shu told him about Fang Bo's situation and sighed, "Raising a child is really a very difficult task. I think how the child turns out has a lot to do with the parents."

She had no intention of speculating whether Fang Bo and his wife had taken the wrong path in raising their child, but she had to admit that the child bore the marks of his parents' education.

After hearing what she said, Chen Zonghao looked at her and wanted to tell her not to worry, that she had educated Jiahui very well and there was no need to worry about this. However, he felt that it was inappropriate for him to say such words in his current identity.

Song Shu didn't want to discuss this issue with him, she was just expressing her feelings.

After arriving at the driving range, Song Shu followed the instructor to learn how to drive, while Chen Zonghao stood by and waited for her with her bag.

The female boss of the driving school was sitting in the house, looking at Chen Zonghao who was waiting for Song Shu on the side and marveled at him. She had been running this driving school for one or two years, but she had never seen a husband accompany his wife to practice driving.

Every time, after the lady finished practicing driving, the gentleman would come forward to pour her water and wipe her sweat. He was so considerate, which made the female boss extremely jealous.

＊

During this time, Song Shu was busy with design work, and went to practice driving with Chen Zonghao at noon.

After another busy half a month, all the clothes needed for the costume drama were finally completed. Song Shu called producer Wang Ru and asked her to come and take away the last few clothes.

Unexpectedly, the person who called was Wang Ru herself. Wang Ru smiled and said to Song Shu, "Designer Song, long time no see."

Song Shu poured her a cup of tea and sat on the sofa with her. "Long time no see."

Wang Ru took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Sure enough, I didn't find the wrong person, Miss Song. Not only am I satisfied with the clothes you designed, but the director and the boss are also very satisfied. Miss Song, you really helped me a lot."

This is the truth. Song Shu completed those clothing designs excellently. Mr. Huang was very satisfied after seeing them. He no longer had any opinions and supported her decision.

Song Shu said, "Producer Wang, you are too polite. I also want to thank you for trusting me. We have a pleasant cooperation. Finally, I wish your TV series will have long-lasting ratings."

"I accept your blessing, Miss Song. Thank you very much."

Wang Ru and Song Shu talked for a while and then stood up to say goodbye, taking their clothes and leaving.

Song Shu watched her leave and stretched. It was great to have completed another job.

＊

At a certain filming location, "The Song Dynasty" officially started filming today. This is the big production that Huang's Entertainment Company is preparing this year. The director and producer are all people who have several high-rated films under their belts. They have a good team and a large investment. As soon as the news came out, many actors and stars came to sign up for the casting.

The actors and actresses finally confirmed included both unknowns and award-winning actresses. Even though the film focused on women, there were also movie kings who played supporting roles.

When Tian Tian came to the crew, she looked at the movie stars she met and silently restrained her temper. She was not a big star in the crew, so it was better for her not to attract attention.

In a movie queen's lounge, several makeup artists were putting makeup on her, and her agent was standing beside her and talking to her.

The actress glanced at the agent and said nonchalantly, "I heard that the crew spent a lot of money on the costumes this time. What do you think their intention is?"

Most film crews don’t pay much attention to costumes and props, let alone hiring designers to design them themselves, which is completely unnecessary for the actress.

The agent also didn't understand the crew's intention. "I heard that it was producer Wang Ru who proposed it. She said they wanted to make a play that was in line with the Tang Dynasty, so the costumes had to be in line with that dynasty and be worthy of scrutiny."

"Oh, is that so?" Film actress Tang Xia nodded thoughtfully.

At first, she wanted to reject the invitation to star in this TV series because this TV series has a completely new theme and is not a popular martial arts theme. She was not sure whether it would meet market demand.

So she was a little hesitant, but after reading the script and trusting the team, she finally accepted the invitation.

While they were talking, the assistant who had gone out to get the clothes came back.

"Please make way, thank you." The assistant came in pushing a clothes rack with several ancient costumes hanging on it.

Tang Xia was originally looking at herself in the mirror boredly. When she heard the assistant's voice, she couldn't help but take a look in the mirror. Seeing the gorgeous ancient costumes on the hanger, she couldn't help but stand up and walk over, her voice somewhat surprised, "Are these those custom-made ancient costumes?"

The assistant wiped the sweat off her forehead and nodded, "Sister Xia, yes, these seven or eight pieces of clothing are all your costumes."

Tang Xia's eyes were glued to those clothes. Not only that, but those clothes were much more exquisite and gorgeous than the costumes of other crews. She didn't know how beautiful those layered skirts would look when she wore them.

Reaching out and touching the fabric, Tang Xia felt that the fabric was smooth to the touch, not at all as rough as the costumes she had worn in previous productions. Moreover, she couldn't see any stitches when she got close, as if this piece of clothing without a single stitch was naturally created.

The agent also came over and exclaimed at the clothes, "I finally understand why Producer Wang spent so much money on clothes. When I see these clothes, I feel that the money is worth it. The quality looks different."

Tang Xia also nodded, "It's different. When I put on these clothes, I feel like I'm the mistress of the Song family. That kind of aura will come out. Maybe this is the charm of clothes."

The clothes designed by Song Shu all take into account the status of each person in the play. Since each character has a different personality, her clothes will be very different.

The agent nodded in agreement, "That's true. Otherwise, why do we say 'clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha'."

Tian Tian was looking at the costumes that the assistant brought back. Although she believed that Ah Shu's products would be good, she still admired her very much when she saw her own costumes.

The economy of the Tang Dynasty can be regarded as one of the most prosperous dynasties in ancient times. This economic prosperity was also relatively reflected in clothing. Therefore, the clothes people usually wore were much more gorgeous than those in other dynasties, not to mention the clothes worn by the upper class of the nobility.

The Song Mansion in this TV series tells the story of an aristocratic family living in the upper class of Tang Dynasty society. Therefore, when Song Shu designed clothes for them, she tried to make them gorgeous.

In the play, Tian Tian is a concubine who serves the emperor with her beauty. She is very favored. At first, the mistress has to avoid her, so the clothes she wears are much more gorgeous than those of the mistress.

If actress Tang's outfit was solemn and gorgeous, then Tian Tian's was gorgeous and dazzling.

Therefore, when Tian Tian's costumes were spread out, it seemed as if the entire room had become magnificent and golden, and the clothes made of gold thread shone with light when she moved.

The young assistant next to her was still excited when she saw the costumes again. When she and other assistants went to get the costumes, every time they saw an actor's clothes, even they, who had seen the world by following the stars on the crew, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

When the young assistant got Tian Tian's clothes, the screams of the other assistants around her doubled. It was because Tian Tian's costume was the most gorgeous among them.

The assistant looked at the clothes and couldn't help but said, "Sister Tian Tian, ​​you don't know, when I went to get the clothes just now, other people looked at me in amazement. I think you will look great in them, like a fairy from heaven."

Tian Tian raised her eyebrows after hearing this, "You are just sweet-talking." But she was still very satisfied with these clothes. No, she could say that she liked them very much. She even wanted to take them home as her own collection.

The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. Tian Tian's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but look at her agent and said, "Sister Eve, can I tell the crew that I'll buy these clothes after filming is over?"

Sister Eve was stunned when she heard this. It was the first time for her to meet someone who wanted to buy back the costumes prepared by the crew. No one had ever wanted to buy back the costumes prepared by the crew before.

However, Eve adjusted her glasses and said calmly, "It's not impossible. I'll go ask the crew if it's okay."

If it was an ordinary crew, it might be okay, but the costumes for this crew were prepared by Producer Wang at a huge expense, and I don't know if it will work, and whether he has other uses for these costumes.

Similarly, actress Tang Xia couldn't help but ask her agent this question, and the agent nodded and said he would ask.

When producer Wang Ru rejected several agents' requests one after another, she answered them all with the same sentence, "Sorry, these costumes of the crew are not for sale. We have other uses for them later."

Producer Wang Ru rejected them one by one. She was not trying to lie to them, but she really didn't want to sell these clothes because she was also amazed by them and had a feeling that these clothes would be of great use in the future.

＊

After finishing the costume design for the TV series, Song Shu began to design dresses for Grandma Xu and Sister Fang Yun for the birthday banquet.

During this time, Sister Fang Yun brought Mingzai over several times, mainly because Mingzai wanted to play with Jiahui.

When he heard that Jiahui learned painting after kindergarten, he begged his mother to let him learn painting too.

Fang Yun found this strange and couldn't help complaining to Song Shu: "You don't know that my son is very lazy. He usually makes excuses to go to school, not to mention going to any interest classes. Now he actually said he wants to learn painting."

Song Shu heard this and said to her, "Children are like this. They will always be playful until their character is settled."

Fang Yun knew her own son well, and shook her head, "I think he wants to be with Jiahui, but that's fine, at least he wants to take the interest class himself."

Ming finally got what he wanted. After school, his family driver took him to Jia Hui's interest class, where he learned painting with her. The driver then took him back home.

Sometimes, he would follow Song Shu and Jia Hui home and play at their house for a while before going back. The friendship between the two little ones was getting better and better.

＊

That day was Grandma Xu’s 70th birthday, and Song Shu, Chen Zonghao and others were invited early in the morning.

Originally, I didn’t want to bring Jiahui with me because I was afraid it was too late and she would need to rest.

But Mingzi held Song Shu's hand and looked at her eagerly, "Sister Shu, let Jiahui go with you. Mingzi will help look after Jiahui."

Jiahui also wanted to go, so Song Shu agreed.

In the room, Song Shu put a pink puffy skirt on Jiahui with a big bow at the back and two straps. When she walked, the straps fluttered like a dancing butterfly.

Song Shu gave her a bun hairstyle and put a crystal diamond headband on her head, making her look like a cute little princess.

Song Shu wore a halterneck champagne-colored floor-length dress with a hollow back that revealed her back. She had long curly hair that she had curled herself.

After He Jiahui finished dressing up, Song Shu took her hand and walked out. Chen Zonghao was already standing in the living room waiting for them.

The man was wearing the suit that she gave him on his birthday. Although Song Shu made several more suits for him later, this suit was still the most precious to him.

Song Shu once saw him buy a dust bag and hang the suit in his room. He would sweep the dust off every day when he got up. If you didn’t know, you would think he was worshipping the suit every day.

Song Shu felt embarrassed and wanted to ask him, "Is it really that important?" However, she knew that the man would definitely answer with a "Yes."

The man was standing in the living room holding a tie in his hand. When he saw her coming out, he stared at her for a few seconds before he said in a low voice, "Can you please help me tie my tie? I haven't learned how to do it yet."

Song Shu walked over to him, took his tie, and said, "Lower your head."

The man lowered his head obediently and let her do what she wanted. Song Shu explained to him while tying it, "First, put this here..."

But she didn't know that the man didn't listen to her words. Chen Zonghao lowered his head and looked at her. Her curly eyelashes trembled from time to time, and her lips opened and closed as she spoke. She put on makeup tonight, and her lips looked more beautiful than usual, the color of a blooming rose.

Song Shu tied it for him in a short while, smoothed it down for him, took a step back, and nodded with satisfaction, "It's done."

The man was wearing a suit, with a straight figure, and the suit brought out his superior figure.

He had a slicked-back haircut that revealed all his facial features, sharp eyebrows, and a superior jawline. Even if he looked cold and aloof, he still attracted people to look at his handsome face.

Chen Zonghao stood up and said, "Well, thank you. Let's go."

"Okay." Song Shu held Jiahui's little hand and followed him out.

This time, they didn't need Mr. Xu to send someone to pick them up. Instead, Chen Zonghao drove them there himself. Song Shu experienced the convenience of having a car without having to trouble other people.

＊

The car drove all the way to Taiping Mountain. As it went up the mountain, it encountered luxury cars from time to time. Their destination was the same as theirs, obviously they were all going to attend the Xu family's dinner.

After all, the Xu family is one of the richest families in Hong Kong, and many people are trying to curry favor with them. Those who can get the invitation letter from the Xu family are not ordinary people.

Therefore, Song Shu and her friends' small car, which cost only tens of thousands of yuan, looked a little out of place among these luxury cars.

The car stopped in the parking lot, and Song Shu took Jiahui out of the car. Just then, a luxury car stopped next to them, and a noble lady and a girl got out of the car.

The lady got out of the car and saw Song Shu and the others. She glanced at the car, then at Song Shu and the others, and raised her chin. "Now anyone can come to the Xu family's banquet."

Although she didn't mention anyone by name, one could tell who she was talking about from the look in the lady's eyes. Immediately, everyone around looked towards Song Shu and the others.

Chen Zonghao happened to walk over and heard these words. His eyes froze as he looked at the woman. The lady felt as if she was frozen by a layer of ice when he looked at her.

Seeing Chen Zonghao's eyes, Song Shu reached out and held the man's arm to stop him from moving. She said slowly, "What was that cat or dog talking just now?"

This sentence was full of sarcasm, and it returned the word "Cat and Dog" to the woman. The most important thing was that Song Shu's tone was light, as if she was just saying it casually.

"You." The lady knew who she was talking about. She didn't expect that the young woman would dare to refute her. She was about to open her mouth to fight back.

At this time Fang Yun came out holding Mingzi's hand. Seeing Song Shu and the others, she smiled warmly, "Shu, you're here." As she spoke, she walked towards them.

Mingzai was the first to break free from his mother's hand, and ran towards Jiahui happily. He stopped in front of her and looked at Jiahui, who looked especially lovely tonight. He felt a little embarrassed, "Jiahui, you're here?"

Jiahui looked up at him and called him sweetly, "Brother Xiaoming."

Mingzi scratched his head and reached out to Jiahui, "Sister Jiahui, let me take you in."

Jiahui reached out and held his hand, nodding obediently, "Okay, thank you Brother Xiaoming."

Fang Yun looked at her son with amusement, walked over, took Song Shu's hand and led her inside, not noticing that the noble lady standing beside her had a colorful expression when she saw her walking towards Song Shu. "Mother-in-law was just talking about you, let's go in quickly."

Song Shu walked forward as she did so, naturally withdrawing the hand that had just been holding Chen Zonghao's, "Okay."

She didn't even glance at the noble lady she had just met. In her eyes, she was just a boring person who only stayed in her sight for two or three seconds.

Chen Zonghao only felt that the warmth of her hand stayed on his arm for just a second before disappearing. Looking at the person walking in front of him, he felt a little lost and quickened his pace to catch up.

Several people didn't even give the lady any attention, but no one cared was the most powerful response, making the lady look like a little clown.

The girl who had just followed the lady out of the car couldn't help laughing. She was not afraid of the lady's ugly face at all and said sarcastically, "Auntie, it's a good thing my dad wasn't here just now. You know my dad hates people who embarrass him the most. Tsk tsk, it's a pity that he didn't see this scene."

After hearing her words, the lady's face turned pale and she bit her lower lip in anger.

＊

Song Shu didn't know about the incident that happened after they left, and she wouldn't care even if she knew.

Fang Yun asked the nanny to look after Mingzi and Jiahui, and Jiahui was taken out to play by Mingzi. Seeing that there was a nanny looking after them, Song Shu gave a few instructions. Mingzi patted his chest and promised that he would take good care of Jiahui. Song Shu thought that the party would be a bit boring for the children, so she agreed.

Chen Zonghao was sent by Fang Yun to find Mr. Xu. Song Shu was pulled upstairs by her, and she pushed open a door and walked in. Grandma Xu was sitting inside.

At this time, the banquet had not started yet and Grandma Xu was just changing her clothes. She was wearing the cheongsam designed for her by Song Shu. The cheongsam had a black base and was embroidered with orchids, which was Grandma Xu's favorite, in gold thread.

The cheongsam style doesn't look anything special, but its tailoring is particularly outstanding. Every inch of the cut fits Grandma Xu's figure, not a cent more or a cent less, and perfectly follows every inch of her body curve.

When Grandma Xu saw her coming in, she waved warmly and said, "Xiaoshu is here, come here quickly."

Song Shu walked over, was pulled by her to sit beside her, and called out, "Grandma Xu."

"Oh." Grandma Xu responded with a very kind face.

Fang Yun, who was standing by, pretended to be jealous and said, "Okay, mother-in-law, now it seems that you like Ah Shu the most. I am really jealous."

Grandma Xu gave her a displeased look and said, "Don't be so poor. Go change your clothes."

"Okay, I'll go change my clothes first." Fang Yun hadn't changed her clothes yet, so she nodded. "Ashu, there are cakes on the table. You can eat some if you're hungry."

"Okay." Song Shu nodded, "Sister Fang Yun, go change your clothes."

After hearing this, Fang Yun nodded and walked to the changing room nearby.

Grandma Xu picked up a small plate of cakes on the table and handed it to Song Shu, "Here, Xiaoshu, have some."

Song Shu couldn't refuse and took one and ate it, "Thank you, Grandma Xu."

"You're welcome, Xiaoshu, you don't have to be so polite." Seeing how delicious her meal was, Grandma Xu took one and started eating. "Xiaoshu, the cheongsam you designed for me is really nice. Grandma is very satisfied. I haven't worn such a comfortable and fitting cheongsam for a long time."

Song Shu took a bite of the cake and said, "Grandma, I'm glad you're satisfied. Ah Shu is also happy to see you wearing the clothes I designed."

The two talked for a while, and Fang Yun changed her clothes and came out.

The cheongsam Fang Yun was wearing had a light blue base and was embroidered with landscapes. Wearing it, she looked like a gentle beauty walking out of the misty Jiangnan region.

Grandma Xu nodded repeatedly as she looked at it, praising it, "It looks great. Ah Yun, you look really good in this cheongsam. It suits you very well."

Fang Yun smiled and nodded, "I think it looks good too. Thank you, Ah Shu. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to wear a cheongsam that suits me so well."

Fang Yun was extremely satisfied with this cheongsam. She had a gentle appearance to begin with, and after putting on this cheongsam, she looked even more gentle and tender, which made people feel comfortable just by looking at her.

Seeing that they were satisfied, Song Shu was also happy in her heart, "As long as you like it."

After changing her clothes, Fang Yun checked the time and said, "The party is about to start. We need to go downstairs."

"Okay, let's go down together." Grandma Xu pulled Song Shu up.

Seeing that she seemed to want to pull her down together, Song Shu said, "Grandma Xu, I'd better go down by myself."

"No, you come with us." Grandma Xu waved her hand and continued, "My legs and feet are not working properly, it's just right for you and Ayun to help me down."

Song Shu was a little amused and confused after hearing this. How could Grandma Xu not have a healthy leg? She was just looking for an excuse to let her go down with them.

Fang Yun beside her also said: "Ah Shu, it's okay, we can just go down together."

After listening to them, Song Shu no longer refused.
