"Oh dear! Sister Wan, you're so busy you've forgotten everything—look all over the city, which other Su family is there? The Su family of Yushan, the Su family whose ancestors were among the founding fathers of the nation, a family of noble and illustrious lineage! The Su family has always been low-key and mysterious, and there's never been much media coverage about them. This time, they actually took the initiative to come to our door and invite you to make clothes for Old Madam Su. If word gets out, who knows how many wealthy and powerful families will follow suit and flock to our brand!"
The marketing manager standing nearby shouted excitedly, "Boss, we're about to soar to great heights!"
"Wait!" I stood up, trying to remain calm, and looked at Xiaoyingtao, asking, "Do you want to download the national anti-fraud app? Is it really not a scam call?"
Little Cherry rolled her eyes, almost fainting. "I confirmed it several times. They were very polite and well-mannered. They even said I could pay a deposit first."
I was stunned with surprise.
"Sister Wan, are you free these few days? Next month is quite busy, so if you're free, you need to call back and schedule a time with them as soon as possible."
"Yes! Absolutely!" How could I let this opportunity for rapid advancement slip away when it's delivered right to my doorstep?
I picked up the phone, excitedly entered the number, got up and walked to the French windows, trying to calm myself down before dialing.
Just as Xiaoyingtao said, the other party spoke very politely and was very well-mannered.
After setting the time, I felt embarrassed to have someone pick me up, so I quickly said, "Butler Zhou, I can drive there myself, no need to trouble you."
To everyone's surprise, the person on the other end remained extremely polite and explained, "Miss Jiang, Su Garden is secluded. It might be difficult for you to find it if it's your first time here. It would be safer to have the driver pick you up."
"Oh, I see. Okay, see you tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, I was suspicious, so I opened my phone's navigation and entered "Yushan Suyuan" into it. To my surprise, I found that it wasn't on the navigation.
Good heavens, what kind of place is this that blocks navigation?
"Little Cherry, this place is like a black hole. What if I go there and never come back?" I held my phone, feeling a bit conflicted, as if it were floating and unreal.
Little Cherry joked, "Don't worry, at worst I'll stay and become Mrs. Su! I heard that Second Master Su has always been single."
The marketing manager on the other end added in a low voice, "I heard that Second Master Su suffers from a hidden illness and cannot be seen by anyone—could it be that he deliberately tricked our General Manager Jiang into becoming his wife?"
I was fed up with those two, so I rolled my eyes and kicked them out.
Although the whole thing was indeed "weird," I still decided to take the job.
High risk, high reward. What do I, a discarded wife and a fallen heiress ridiculed by the whole city, have to be afraid of?
At worst, I'll just have a worthless life.

The next morning, after I went to the company and arranged my work, I received a call from housekeeper Zhou at 8:30.
"Miss Jiang, besides the old lady, several other women in the clan also need clothes made. Please bring an assistant with you," Butler Zhou specifically instructed me.
This reminder was exactly what I wanted, so I immediately called Little Cherry.
Going downstairs, Xiao Yingtao exclaimed in surprise as she saw the luxurious and imposing cars parked by the roadside, "What kind of cars are these? They're so impressive!"
I whispered, "Hongqi L5." Then I added, "Don't overreact like a country bumpkin visiting the Grand View Garden."
Little Cherry whispered, "When we get to Su Garden, it'll be like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden."
I thought to myself, that's true.
Even wealthy families are divided into different levels.
There's usually a significant gap between wealthy families and top-tier wealthy families.
The Su family of Yushan is a force that stands above even the top-tier wealthy families.
This Hongqi L5 alone has quite a history.
As we all know, the Hongqi L5 is different from ordinary luxury cars. Many luxury cars are worth tens of millions, but anyone with money can buy one. For example, internet celebrities or nouveau riche can all drive around in a Rolls-Royce.
However, the Hongqi L5 is different.
To own this car, in addition to sufficient financial resources, one also needs a clean background, a high social status, and significant contributions to society.
Moreover, this car is a custom-made item, making it a unique "one-of-a-kind" piece for each owner.
Little Cherry and I got into the car, both of us a little reserved.
The driver, who was wearing white gloves, was very easygoing. He exchanged a few pleasantries with us and made us feel relaxed.
After driving steadily for an hour, the luxury car entered a lush, green forest.
The driver said, "Yushan is just ahead, we're almost there."
Sure enough, soon a gate was seen with soldiers standing guard, armed with guns.
Upon seeing our vehicle approaching, the soldier gestured, and the driver stopped the car, rolled down the window, and showed his identification before we were allowed to proceed.
Little Cherry stared in astonishment, then whispered, "Sister Wan, is this some kind of military stronghold?"
I was surprised too, but I didn't show it.
The driver politely explained, "This was a special approval from higher authorities. After the old man retired, he's living in Yushan. For safety reasons, all vehicles entering and leaving must be checked. For our own family members, we just need to check their documents. If it's an unregistered outside vehicle, the security check will be more stringent."
After listening, Xiaoyingtao and I looked at each other, filled with awe.
No wonder Butler Zhou wouldn't let me drive here myself.
Besides the fact that the house can't be found on navigation apps, it's also probably due to security concerns.
I know very little about the Su family. The only time I had close contact with them was at the wedding when the Second Master Su appeared out of nowhere.
Today's experience has given me a deeper understanding of the Su family's mysterious and low-key nature, and has also instilled in me greater awe.
Thinking of Master Su, I remembered the handkerchief I carried in my pocket.
When I learned yesterday that I was going to visit Su Garden today, I made sure to bring my handkerchief with me.
If you happen to come across it, just return it to the owner.
