Chapter 298 - Let me see

“Gee! How can I choose so many styles? I can’t do that. I don’t know which one fits me best.” Gu Yan said feebly and pouted her lips in displeasure. Her heard leaned on the shoulder of Manla, and her face was full of sadness.

“You can try this, this one and that one.” Manla said. She quickly took many clothes off the hanger and throw them into Gu Yan’s arms. In a few moments, piles of clothes blocked Gu Yan’s view.

“Do I need try all of them?” Gu Yan asked.

“Yeah, you are right. How do you know which one fits you best if you didn’t try them? Or…you can buy all of them so that you don’t need to try them one by one since you lack clothes anyway. It looks like today is a good day!” Manla said proudly, selecting clothes carefully on the clothes rack.

“I cannot afford that. Moreover, they are so expensive. Just one piece of clothing costs tens of thousands of yuan.” Gu Yan said with anxiety. She looked at tag and showed that to Manla. It looked like as if someone would cut her flesh.

“Take it easy, dear. The dinner tonight is so important for you. You should dress up and impress all people so that no one would look upon at you. What’s more, you need to curry favor with Li Yunhong, who is the biggest stumbling block between you and Mo Yichen.” Manla said.

Gu Yan carefully listened to Manla, who talked about the details Gu Yan should pay attention to tonight.

In terms of Gu Yan, today was actually a big day for her. Every time when she was called to have dinner at Mo Yichen’s home, she would become anxious. Her heart would be in her throat, and her palms were sweating because she had a strong aversion to meet Li Yunhong. But for Mo Yichen and Mo Xiangyan, she would do her most to change the attitude of Li Yunhong towards her.

Gu Yan came to the reality and tried hard to stop herself not to recall the past. This time she knew she must seize the opportunity to sweeten the deal instead of a yes man image in Li Yunhong’s eyes.

“So, what is your opinion? I cannot afford all of them.” Gu Yan said and touched her pocket, indicating that she was very poor.

“Who told you to buy them all? You try them and show me one by one. And we will buy the one fits you best…” Manla said. She thought Gu Yan was like an idiot. Absolutely, as the saying went, “Women in love have an IQ of zero!”

Gu Yan felt reluctantly, but she had to go to the fitting room with all of these clothes. While Manla sat on the sofa nearby with her corners of her eyes up, like a judge.

“No!” Manla shook her head when she looked at Gu Yan in new clothes, motioning Gu Yan to quickly change another one.

The exciting light in Gu Yan’s eyes grew dimer and dimer.

“Nope!”

“Nope!”

Gu Yan went out of fitting room with tired body and mood. She had tried countless times, but none of the clothes satisfied Manla.

“Well, that’s it.” Manla said with a cold tone, which confused Gu Yan. Gu Yan thought that Manla must addict to talk to her in that way and wanted to give her a little punishment when it was over. Manla chuckled inwardly.

Gu Yan looked at Manla and wanted to laugh because she knew Manla was pretending. She didn’t want to expose this mischievous girl, so she just paid the bill. Then she took the clothes and walked to the mall gate with arms in Manla’s arms.

“Why did you choose this one? I thought others were good, too.” Gu Yan said confusedly because she couldn’t read Manla’s mind. She turned around and stared at Manla.

“This one is more simple and elegant. What’s more, you look more capable and graceful in it. That’s who you are. You must convey a message to your mother-in-law that you want to be with Mo Yichen for love instead of money because rich people always think that way. You have to prove that you can stand on your own feet and change their mind fundamentally.” Manla said.

“In my opinion, Li Yunhong doesn’t like you, which is definitely due to Chen Qian. Li Yunhong must think you love Mo Yichen because of his money. Otherwise, why does she dislike you so much? You must show them that you are an excellent woman who can earn your own living. Then, show them that your love for Mo Yichen is sincere.” Manla looked at Gu Yan and said patiently.

“Because of money?” Gu Yan said.

“But I do actually love Yichen. My affection is real, not for any other intentions!” Gu Yan was a little upset so that the tone sounded like higher.

“A little fool. I know you, but Li Yunhong doesn’t understand you like me. What’s more, Li Yunhong and Chen Qian are very close. Maybe Chen Qian has spoken ill of you in front of Li Yunhong. So, it’s not easy for you to change your image in their minds.” Manla drew a long sigh and said. She was worried about Gu Yan.

“Hum… I thought we have to take it easy. I will try my best, and I believe time will tell.” Gu Yan said.

Manla was worried when she saw Gu Yan’s determined expression because she knew the relationship between Gu Yan and Mo Yichen was not that steady. If it broke up, Gu Yan might be the poorest one who had to suffer. She had already experienced a failed marriage. Manla didn’t want to think any more because she was afraid that Gu Yan might get hurt once more.

Manla said, “Anyway, you don’t need to blame Li Yunhong. After all, she watches Chen Qian growing up, and Chen Qian is the one she trusts most. So, you don’t eager a rush for quick results. We should take it easy.”

Manla continued to persuade Gu Yan.

“Ok, yes. What kind of gift do you think I should take for Mo Yichen’s mom?” Gu Yan said. It suddenly occurred to Gu Yan that she had not bought a present, which made her stamp her feet with anxious because buying clothes wasted too much time. There was not much time to choose gifts.

Gu Yan took out her phone to see what time it was. Then she was more anxious and could not help crying.

Manla was petrified by Gu Yan because she had never seen that Gu Yan was so worried. Manla was stand still and just opened her mouth without a word.

After several seconds, Manla finally came back.

“I sent someone to find out that Li Yunhong is quite fond of jewel and also likes to study jewel. So, I called a friend in the jewelry industry and asked him to pick out a necklace that would satisfy your future mother-in-law.” Manla said.

“He is on his way and will join us about five minutes later. I really don’t expect that you were so hurry and just like a kid. You’re really hopeless.” Manla said.

After hearing these words, Gu Yan was finally relieved, but she was just completely exhausted.
