I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 494: The Pillow Breezes On

Chapter 494: Chapter 494: The Pillow Breezes On

An inspection team arrived to visit various food factories within the city.

The Ice Cream Factory was known as a model factory and therefore was first on the list.

Suizi decided to sneak into Yu Jingting’s group and watch the farce from the front row.

After preparing for such a long time, she naturally wanted to get a good position when it was time to execute her plan, hence watching from the front row.

However, when she opened her wardrobe to pick out her clothes for the day, her smile gradually froze.

Compared to the average worker’s family, her wardrobe was definitely decent. But the problem was that her fashion taste was too low-key, or, to put it more bluntly, too common.

Most of the time after Suizi returned, she was pregnant and hardly paid attention to her clothes. After giving birth, she focused on losing weight and settled with whatever she could wear.

Anyway, Yu Jingting said she looked good no matter what she wore.

She probably would have maintained this style for the following years if she hadn’t seen Shen Liangyin’s incredible fashion taste.

After seeing Shen Liangyin’s impressive fashion taste, Suizi felt like a long-dormant nerve within her was awakened, and she unconsciously started studying some fashion magazines.

It was easy to guess that Shen Liangyin was going to use this opportunity to show off, who knows how ostentatious she would be.

Looking at her low-key wardrobe, Suizi felt uneasy. She was confident in being a strong woman, but as a woman, she felt a bit intimidated. In her past life, she had never felt worried about these things as she was a single woman and did not have to fight others for a man.

After pondering over it, Suizi decided to seek outside help.

Her mother-in-law was definitively the first one to exclude, as her flamboyant style really didn’t suit Suizi.

Suizi called Chen Lijun, who was always a goddess when it came to being a woman.

First, Suizi casually asked about how Chen Lijun had been recently, acting as if she wasn’t being so intentional, but after beating around the bush so much, Chen Lijun sensed something was amiss.

"Get to the point, Suizi, beating around the bush is not like you."

Suizi cleared her throat: "I will be attending an event tomorrow, could you help me figure out what to wear?"

"What kind of event?"

"It’s Jingting’s inspection tour. I sneaked in to join just to broaden my horizons."

"Wait, this small matter isn’t worth bothering me about. If you don’t confess everything honestly, I’ll hang up, I’m quite busy... "

"It’s nothing much, there’s just a female factory director who is picking on me. I don’t want to let her be better off."

"Oh, if a good-tempered person like you has a conflict with her... Did she set her sights on my precious son?"

Heat rushed to Suizi’s face, as if her secret had been discovered.

"He’s your son-in-law, not your ’precious son’..."

"A son-in-law is half a son, stop trying to distract me. What is that woman’s name? I’ll investigate her background, see who’s this shameless."

"I can handle it, just tell me what to wear."

Suizi was starting to regret calling her mom.

Chen Lijun, a proud and aloof woman like her, how was she no different from the gossipy neighbor when she started to gossip?

Chen Lijun’s laughter came through the phone, and Suizi’s face flushed even more.

In her second life, it seemed like her relationship with her mother was getting better. In her previous life, there were no such moments where mother and daughter could have a heart-to-heart talk.

"For you to specifically ask me, she must be very good at dressing up. I’m guessing your ’scavenger’ level of fashion taste can’t compete with hers, even if I gave you advice, you wouldn’t have the time to remake your clothings.

"It’s like cramming before the exam. I’ve told you times and again to prepare some more clothes, but you never listen."

"Great mother of mine! What’s the use of criticizing me now! That woman is breathing down my neck, instead of helping me, you’re criticizing me?"

Chen Lijun laughed.

Her elegant daughter learned all the bad habits from the Yu family, using such vulgar language.

"Alright, stop getting angry. I’ll give you an idea. If you want to overshadow her, either dress better than her or go completely in the opposite direction. Since there’s no time to prepare clothes, why not do this..."

Chen Lijun shared her specific solution with Suizi, and Suizi felt like she had an epiphany.

"Mom, how are you so amazing?"

Although she has lived two lives, both combined, she’s still less savvy than Chen Lijun.

"Stop trying to butter me up. If you had used half the effort you spent on studying on your personal grooming, how would you allow others to act arrogant in front of you? Learn for next time, my little tigress."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Lijun sat in her office chair, feeling amused the more she thought about it.

"How did I give birth to a child who doesn’t care about looking good? She’s nothing like me, everything she wears looks like she scavenged it. I wonder who she got that from."

The secretary knocked on the door.

"Director Chen, the leader has arrived."

"Don’t let him in."

Fan Huang came out from behind the secretary, leaving the secretary feeling awkward.

"Oh, isn’t this Director Fan? What wind brought you here?" Chen Lijun said with a fake smile. She waved her hand and the secretary hurried out, courteously closing the door behind him.

"Did Suizi call you recently?"

Fan Huang changed the subject.

He knew if he started any other topic, Chen Lijun would ignore him, so he could only bring up Suizi.

Only mentioning her daughter could make this cruel woman crack a smile.

"Don’t sound so affectionate, she’s my daughter, she doesn’t have much to do with important people like you."

While flipping through documents leisurely, Chen Lijun remained elegant, refusing to give Fan Huang a second glance.

"The old man is not doing well, when will you come to see him?"

"Not doing well? Then start preparing his coffin and burial clothes. I’m not a coffin dealer, why would I need to see him?"

Fan Huang’s mouth drooped, he knew it would end this way.

Chen Lijun was a woman who held grudges. If you offended her once, she would never forgive you for life.

The Fan family once plotted against Suizi, hoping to sacrifice her for their gain. This incident was severely noted by Chen Lijun and attributed to the old Madam Fan.

He feared that on the day the old Madam Fan truly passed away, Chen Lijun might set off firecrackers to celebrate.

"If there’s nothing else, you can go. We don’t want to delay the leader’s time too much."

Chen Lijun ordered him to leave, but when she looked up and saw the grey suit Fan Huang was wearing, her brows furrowed.

"Is there a problem with my clothes?" Fan Huang checked himself.

"One is real wool, the other not, I could tolerate that, but why are the colors mixed up so much?"

"Aren’t they all gray..." There was nothing official today, so he just randomly picked out two pieces.

"The shirt is dark grey, the pants are light grey, and you even paired them with a pair of shoes that are neither green nor blue?!" Chen Lijun couldn’t help showing her disdain.

His poor taste in clothes was enough to compete with her silly daughter.

"Even though they are expensive clothes, why does it look like you don’t even have one decent piece of clothing in your closet when you put them together? Even a scavenger would dress more decently than you."

"That’s because I need a woman to help me match my clothes." Fan Huang straightened up, beginning to look a bit tense, "Lijun, consider... "

"Suddenly I remembered, do you have a few good quality fabrics? My stupid daughter doesn’t even have a single nice dress, allowing those wild women to torment her. She’s so pitiful."

"Suizi is being bullied?"
