Chapter 285: Disreputable
historical
Her mind went blank for a moment, the clothes still in her hands. Su Peizhen and her entourage were already aware of her presence.
Su Peizhen had noticed Su Qingsang almost immediately.
Looking at Su Qingsang now made her blood boil. She thought, This woman is adept at feigning innocence and appearing chaste, leading others to view her in a positive light. As a result, she effortlessly bewitched Qiu Yanbo. Now, here she is, putting on an act of innocence.
Su Peizhen thought of how she had purposefully asked Qiu Junjiao out earlier that day in an attempt to mend relations with Qiu Yanbo. Qiu Junjiao, however, had refused to oblige.

Seeing Su Qingsang infuriated Su Peizhen.
Su Peizhen made no attempt to hide her contempt and her companions, Luo Meishan and Song Youhe, instinctively felt the mood darken. The duo also caught sight of Su Qingsang.
Everyone was aware that Su Family had a disreputable illegitimate daughter.
During their past encounters, Luo Meishan and Song Youhe never missed the opportunity to both openly and discreetly mock Su Qingsang.
Luo Meishan and Song Youhe, however, remained silent now.
Previously, despite not attending Tianyu Group’s banquet, they were adjured by their elders after returning home.
Su Qingsang was no longer her past self. She was not merely the Su Family’s disreputable illegitimate daughter anymore. She now commanded the status of being the wife of Tianyu Group’s President.
The duo was tight-lipped and maintained their positions behind Su Peizhen.
Su Peizhen glanced at each of her companions and fathomed what was going through their minds. Her resentment deepened.
They are afraid to risk offending Huo Jinyao and Tianyu Group. Do they worry about running the risk of offending the Li and Su families?
Glaring pointedly at Luo Meishan and Song Youhe, there was scorn in Su Peizhen’s eyes. The duo’s eyes met hers and they appeared unsettled.
Su Qingsang was not the least bit concerned about the way the three privileged women were exchanging glances. Grasping the fact that she was deeply despised by Su Peizhen, rushing to make conversation or cozying up to Su Peizhen was naturally not something she was willing to do.
She offered a nod as an acknowledgment, then turned away and continued browsing the clothes.

Eventually, Luo Meishan took a step forward and faced Su Qingsang, saying, “Seems like marrying Tianyu Group’s President has turned your situation around. You never would have been able to shop here in the past.”
Su Qingsang paused her browsing and turned her attention to Luo Meishan.
At this moment, Song Youhe joined in the belittlement. “Of course, now she has risen like a phoenix from the ashes.”
“What a pity, a crow will never be a falcon. Such poor taste.”
Luo Meishan glanced at the clothes in Su Qingsang’s hand and scoffed.
Su Qingsang looks like she is in her twenties, yet the clothes she has chosen look like they are meant for someone in her forties. If that is not poor taste, what is?
Su Qingsang put down the clothes in her hands and stared directly at Su Peizhen.
Su Peizhen stood behind Luo Meishan and Song Youhe with a blatant smirk on her face.
Su Qingsang was well aware that even without Qiu Yanbo as a factor in their relationship, there would never be harmony between her and Su Peizhen. She did not expect Su Peizhen to keep unabashedly mistreating her though.
“Miss Luo commented that I have an embarrassing taste in clothes. Are you saying that the clothes in this boutique are shoddy?”
