Chapter 44: This is My Mother!

Zheng Anran was dissatisfied with the way the two Sun sisters were looking at Yu Mingze.

She was still here, and these shameless women were already eyeing her man right in front of her?

Zheng Anran smiled and casually asked, "Just now, your store said you're not serving other customers, what does that mean?"

Sun Nianlian and Sun Xiangxiang decided that since Yu Mingze didn't like his wife, there was no need to talk to her. So, they ignored Zheng Anran, whom they mistakenly assumed was Yu Mingze's wife.

Instead, the manager said a few irrelevant words and then looked sideways at the Sun sisters, using her eyes to ask them what to do.

From their earlier conversation, she realized these two weren't people she could afford to upset. If she mishandled the situation, her job could be at risk.

Sun Xiangxiang was a bit younger and less mature than her older sister Sun Nianlian.

She looked at Zheng Anran with disdain and said casually, "It's nothing. They finished shopping, so I asked Manager Niu to escort them out."

The manager nodded vigorously, "That's right! That's exactly what happened!" What had she done wrong? Navigating between these wealthy people was tough.

"Is that so?"

Zheng Anran didn't believe Sun Xiangxiang's nonsense at all, and she looked at the two customers who were supposedly done shopping and was suddenly startled.

Aunt Fu?

"Nonsense, we haven't finished shopping yet. These two ladies were trying to kick us out. Is this how you do business?" Wu Yuan pouted, not giving them any face.

"Is that so?" Yu Mingze frowned.

Seeing this, Sun Xiangxiang quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, Yu Mingze, please let me explain!"

But the truth was exactly what had happened, and Sun Xiangxiang didn't know what to say for a moment, so she quickly sought help from Sun Nianlian.

Sun Nianlian maintained a graceful smile and slowly said, "Yu Mingze, it's like this. My younger sister is still young and a bit impulsive. She didn't mean any harm."

"To make up for it, I was going to pay for these two ladies' purchases as a gesture of goodwill, but they didn't accept my offer."

Seeing Sun Nianlian take all the credit and push all the blame onto her, Sun Xiangxiang was incredulous.

Her sister was throwing her under the bus to save herself?

"Sister, how could you do this! It was clearly—"

"Xiangxiang, take responsibility for your own actions and watch your words. If you cause trouble, Dad will be angry when we get home."

Sun Nianlian was fully in her good-sister mode, not worried about being exposed at all. After all, she hadn't said much just now. It was Sun Xiangxiang who did the dirty work of offending people; she had just been an observer.

Hearing Sun Nianlian mention their father, Sun Xiangxiang immediately shut up. Compared to her, their father did indeed favor her sister more and was more willing to marry off her sister to Yu Mingze. She was still afraid of being scolded by her father, but if she let her sister have exclusive access to Yu Mingze, she would feel resentful.

"Yu Mingze—"

"Who were you trying to kick out just now?"

"Ah, no, it's just that my sister is used to getting her way at home!"

Sun Nianlian gave Sun Xiangxiang a gentle push and advised her kindly, "Xiangxiang, why don't you go apologize to those two ladies?"

"Sister!"

"Xiangxiang, for the sake of our family, just hold it together for now," Sun Nianlian whispered into Sun Xiangxiang's ear. Reluctantly, Sun Xiangxiang walked over.

"Alright, I was wrong earlier, okay?! Sorry!"

"Sorry, we don't accept it!" Wu Yuan still looked down on her, clearly not believing the apology was sincere.

"I already apologized, what else do you want from me?"

"We don't want much, we just want to shop."

"Who said you couldn't shop?"

"Didn't you just say that because you and your sister are here, we should leave and give up this spot?"

"Nonsense!"

Sun Xiangxiang puffed up her cheeks in anger.

As the daughter of a powerful CEO, I humbled myself to apologize, and they still refused to accept it? If it weren't for Young Master Yu being here, I would have slapped them already.

Seeing her sister had lost her temper again and started arguing, Sun Nianlian wore an expression of helplessness, but in her heart, she knew that the more arrogant her sister appeared, the more it highlighted her own gentleness and kindness.

Yu Mingze's expression darkened, and he frowned. "Is this how your sister apologizes?"

"I'm sorry, Young Master Yu, my sister has been spoiled at home. Please don't take it personally."

"Not hold it against her? Hah, do you know who you were trying to drive away?"

"Who?"

Sun Nianlian was confused. They're just two random people, so why is Young Master Yu so upset?

Sun Xiangxiang hadn't heard their conversation. She stormed back to Sun Nianlian, muttering under her breath.

"Sister, I apologized, but they're still holding on to it. I don't want to talk to them anymore!"

"Xiangxiang!"

"That's not how you apologize!"

"Young Master Yu?"

"You can pick on me all you want, but don't you dare touch my mom!"

As soon as Yu Mingze finished speaking, Fu Yining stepped out from behind Wu Yuan.

She thought she had hidden herself well, but had she been recognized?

Seeing Fu Yining, Yu Mingze called out "Mom" again.

"Who is he calling 'Mom'?" Wu Yuan looked left and right, finally focusing on Fu Yining, nearly biting her own tongue.

Is this handsome guy really calling Yining "Mom"? Is he seriously her son? And is Yining really old enough to have a son his age?

Meanwhile, the two sisters, Sun Nianlian and Sun Xiangxiang, were about to lose their minds.

What? The person they just tried to drive away is actually the legendary Madam Yu?

They were doomed!

Sun Xiangxiang’s face turned white with shock, while Sun Nianlian, trying to cover up their mistake, greeted her with a forced smile. "M-Madam Yu, nice to meet you!"

Fu Yining shook her head. "No, I’m not doing well," she replied, confirming her identity while shutting down Sun Nianlian’s attempt to get closer.

Sun Nianlian’s smile faltered, and she let out an awkward laugh.

"Madam Yu, I’m really sorry. My sister and I were out of line just now and didn’t realize it was you."

Fu Yining remained silent, watching them with a calm, unreadable expression as they fumbled through their apologies.

In their rush to apologize to Fu Yining, they completely overlooked Wu Yuan standing beside her.

Before Wu Yuan could hold onto her dissatisfaction for long, Fu Yining spoke. "I’m not the buyer, just a companion. Your heartfelt apologies are wasted on me," she said, her tone dry and unimpressed.

"Miss, I’m sorry!"

Without missing a beat, Sun Nianlian dragged Sun Xiangxiang over to Wu Yuan. "Miss, we’re so sorry! We didn’t mean to offend you."

Wu Yuan listened for a moment before finally giving a reluctant nod. "Alright, I forgive you," she said, though her tone suggested she wasn’t fully convinced.

The two sisters exchanged a glance, both knowing that their efforts had fallen flat. Fu Yining’s cold, unchanging expression made it clear that they had lost any chance of winning her favor.

The sisters stood there, filled with regret, realizing that they had completely ruined their chances with Fu Yining.
