The next day, Yu Fanxing invited Yu Shu to go shopping and have afternoon tea. As Yu Shu was dressing up and putting on makeup, Shen Youlin kept humming next to her, coaxing her while taking liberties.
"Take along~ Take along! I'll be your driver! I'll pay the bill! I'll carry your bags for you!"
"Be good. Xingxing is coming to pick up downstairs. You don't need to be my driver, and she has repeatedly emphasized that I can't bring you along. If she sees you once, she'll get three more wrinkles."
Shen Youlin hugged his arms tightly, looking utterly pitiful. "So you're heartless enough to leave alone at ho? The empty house, so lonely, so bleak, so cold. Wah~"
"Isn't Du E at ho? Keep each other company."
Shen Youlin stomped his feet angrily. "You're telling to stay ho with the dog?!"
"You're a grown up now. You should learn to take care of yourself." Yu Shu handed him the necklace and asked him to help her put it on.
As Shen Youlin put the necklace on for her, he was clumsy and kept touching and stroking her. After he was done, he placed his palms on the sides of her neck, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "I still want to lock you up."
Yu Shu didn't respond, just looking at Shen Youlin and herself in the mirror.
Shen Youlin stood behind her, encircling her in his arms, restraining her with his arms, occupying her in a strong and overbearing manner, yet he also lowered his head, burying it in the crook of her neck, looking humble and pitiful.
As soon as Yu Shu got in the car, Yu Fanxing gave her a big hug, leaning into her chest and taking a deep sniff. "Let sniff so fairy air to prolong my life."
Yu Shu laughed and pushed her away. "Don't be so clingy."
Yu Fanxing didn't agree. She hugged her even tighter. "Let sniff again to stay forever young."
After saying that, her face was full of bitterness and reluctance as she finally let go.
Yu Shu frowned slightly. "Or you can sniff again to gain immortality?"
"I think I can~"
"That's enough!" Yu Shu pushed her away in disgust. "You're not acting your age at all."
"Wah, I was arbitrarily made your senior, making feel decades older." Yu Fanxing pretended to wipe away nonexistent tears.
Yu Shu didn't understand. "Why are you rambling today?"
"Because I learned about your illustrious deeds. I've seen people with good luck before, but never soone with luck as good as yours."
Yu Shu suddenly felt uneasy for no reason. "What matter? How did you find out?"
"Your rags to riches story. We found out about your existence when that scourge and his dad went travelling. So he looked into you."
Yu Shu's face turned pale. "Is that so?"
So how do you see ? As a nouveau riche with nothing but luck?
"Don't panic, don't panic." Yu Fanxing hugged her and patted her back comfortingly. "After the old lady found out, she liked you even more, praising you for not letting the great joy go to your head and for being a good child."
Yu Shu's heart felt empty, sinking down.
Why did she feel uneasy? Because she realized that apart from money and luck, she had nothing and knew nothing. She told Yu Fanxing so.
"There, there, don't be upset." Yu Fanxing rocked her left and right. "Luck is also a kind of ability."
Yu Shu covered her face. "I suddenly feel like I might not be good enough for your son."
Yu Fanxing imdiately disagreed, her voice rising. "That's nonsense! In what way are you not good enough for him? If not for you, that scoundrel Shen Youlin would be destined to die alone as a lonely star.
Let tell you, you can't escape this life. Once sold by my family, no returns or exchanges allowed. Tens of Shen family mbers should thank you for taking him in. Oh my, you don't know how he would wreak havoc during Chinese New Year, causing the whole clan to be in turmoil. If he dares make trouble again this year, just twist his ears!"
As Yu Fanxing talked more, she got more excited. Thinking of how Shen Youlin was now obedient under Yu Shu's control made her laugh out loud. She couldn't wait to take Yu Shu back ho for Chinese New Year. She would get two sets of festive yet elegant red cheongsams for them to wear matching sister outfits. Yes, sister outfits. She absolutely wouldn't admit to being a generation older than Yu Shu.
"Let's go customize cheongsams!" Yu Fanxing's eyes shone as she looked at Yu Shu.
"Huh?"
Weren't they just talking about twisting ears? How did they get to cheongsams? Her winding train of thought left Yu Shu confused for a mont.
"Let's go, let's go. First to the jewelry store, then to customize cheongsams." Yu Fanxing grew more excited as she spoke. "We'll customize one set in the sa color but different styles. With your fair skin, you'll look amazing in red! You'll also be great in pink purple, ginger yellow, gray blue, azure! Aww, darling, you'll look gorgeous in anything!"
"Calm down..." Yu Shu said helplessly. "Are you treating like a dress-up doll to play with?"
"Miracle Shu Shu, charge!"
Yu Shu was brought by Yu Fanxing to a jewelry store, where she received a big gift from her—the $120 million pink diamond.
Yu Fanxing had already sent the pink diamond to the designer yesterday. She just wanted to see what style Yu Shu liked for the design and crafting.
Naturally, the crafting fees and diamonds for the setting were paid by Yu Fanxing.
Yu Shu felt bad about it, but Yu Fanxing just clutched her chest, feeling extrely satisfied. "The feeling of spending money on you makes so happy!"
"Huh? What a strange hobby."
"Spending money is spending happiness. To spend money dressing you up is such a joy. Seeing you pretty and happy, I feel happy too."
Yu Fanxing asked, "Don't you feel happy too?"
Yu Shu covered her wildly thumping little heart. "The little deer in my heart says it's very happy."
What woman can resist exquisitely dreamy jewelry?
"I just love your candid and straightforward personality." Yu Fanxing nudged Yu Shu's arm with her own.
Unlike her silly eight hundred jin daughter-in-law, a hypocrite. Whenever Yu Fanxing wore new jewelry, she obviously couldn't take her eyes off them, always stealing glances.
She must have liked them, yet she wouldn't say so. She would lecture you about extravagance and thrift. If Yu Fanxing gave her jewelry, she pretended to have no desires, reluctantly and reluctantly accepting them only when forced.
It was so tiring and unrewarding that Yu Fanxing soon stopped bothering with her daughter-in-law.
Just openly look if you like it, openly ask if you want it, what's there to hide?
No comparisons, no harm. Yu Fanxing gave Yu Shu a bear hug. "Darling! I just love you to death!"
"Huh?"
She had said "huh" too many tis today, long unable to keep up with Yu Fanxing's train of thought.
