Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Yin Ruxue’s Shock

Standing behind them, Jiang Fan sized up the little dress in the display case. Although it was made for children,

it truly achieved an understated luxury.

The meticulous craftsmanship and materials were all exceptionally refined.

Jiang Fan even discovered that most of the patterns on it were actually hand-embroidered.

"Mengmeng likes this one, and that one too."

Mengmeng pointed to a display case a short distance behind them.

Inside was a small, pure white dress, its fine craftsmanship and materials completely on par with the one in front of them.

"This little one has good taste, picking out our two best pieces right off the bat."

"But you should think it over. That one has already been released on the market, and overseas at that."

"So it’s not as unique, you see."

Jun Yue said, gently pulling Mengmeng into her arms.

"Mengmeng doesn’t mind. Mengmeng just likes that one."

"Alright."

"Min, take these two down and box them up for me."

"The small accessories, and the matching shoes—don’t leave anything out."

"But..."

Min was visibly hesitant.

"It’s fine. Go ahead. I’ll personally step in and design two new pieces later."

"Okay."

Hearing this, Min, for some reason, seemed quite excited, which struck Jiang Fan as odd.

However, he didn’t ask why, nor did he refuse the gift.

Given his relationship with Jun Yue, there was no need for such pleasantries.

"Daddy, you’re amazing! And Auntie Jun Yue is amazing too!"

"Tomorrow, I’m going to wear this little dress to school. Let’s see if she dares to show off in front of me now!!"

Mengmeng huffed.

"Alright, let’s get going then."

Jiang Fan and Jun Yue shared a smile. ’That’s just how kids are.’

He took Mengmeng’s hand and they left the exhibition room.

For the next hour, Jun Yue gave Mengmeng a tour of the company.

It wasn’t until a call came from Yin Ruxue that Jiang Fan was jolted back to reality and got ready to leave with Mengmeng.

He finally understood why Min had reacted with such excitement upon hearing that Jun Yue would be personally designing something.

Most of the products released by the Yufan Design Team were created by the staff, with Jun Yue only providing guidance and corrections.

She very rarely designed anything herself, but without exception, every piece she created became a sensational, world-famous bestseller.

"No wonder Yin Ruxue brought you over back then. So this was the real reason all along."

"I never noticed you had such a talent."

Jun Yue sized him up and teased.

"That’s right. My doctor said my stomach is weak, so I’m only suited to freeloading."

"I’m just wondering when Jun will let me freeload off of her."

Jiang Fan rolled his eyes in retort.

"Anytime you want. The only question is, do you dare?"

That one sentence sent Jiang Fan fleeing in disarray, leaving only Jun Yue’s bell-like laughter echoing in the hallway.

Jiang Fan and Mengmeng returned home cheerfully, their arms full of bags big and small.

The moment they walked in, they saw Yin Ruxue sitting on the living room sofa with a grim face, apparently waiting for them.

"Why did you take her out without telling me? Do you have any idea how worried I was?"

"It was completely unplanned. This little one started wailing the moment she got out of school, so it was a spur-of-the-moment thing."

Jiang Fan explained, setting the numerous bags down beside the sofa.

Mengmeng shrank behind his legs, too scared to speak.

"Is that the Yuefan Group’s design logo? You went to Jun Yue’s company?"

Jiang Fan shrugged his shoulders in acknowledgment.

He then told Yin Ruxue the whole story of what happened after school.

"Mengmeng, come here."

For some reason, however, hearing the story only made Yin Ruxue angrier.

With no other choice, Mengmeng hung her head and stepped out from behind Jiang Fan, standing dejectedly before her mother.

"What have I taught you? When people offer you things, do we just accept them so casually?"

Yin Ruxue’s voice was now laced with sternness.

"I shouldn’t."

"And should you be comparing yourself to others at school?"

"I shouldn’t do that either."

Tears started to fall from Mengmeng’s eyes. DRIP. DROP.

She was about to say more, but Jiang Fan stopped her.

"She’s just a child! She didn’t make some terrible mistake. No, in fact, she didn’t make any mistake at all!"

"Why are you being so harsh?"

"What’s this about not competing at school? Weren’t you listening? Someone else provoked her first with their own little dress."

"Why are you here scolding her? Besides, Jun Yue gave her these clothes as a favor to *me*, you get it?"

Jiang Fan couldn’t stand to hear any more of it. He was furious.

’If you don’t know how to be a parent, then don’t even try!’

"What is that supposed to mean!"

Yin Ruxue shot to her feet, staring at him aggressively.

"If our child feels wronged at school, she should be able to say so! When you feel wronged, you know how to go cry in a corner."

"Why is it different for a child?"

"And another thing—is she just supposed to put up with being bullied and mocked at school?"

Jiang Fan’s stance was just as unyielding.

"Daddy, Mommy, please stop fighting! Mengmeng doesn’t want them anymore."

"Mengmeng shouldn’t have tried to compete with the other students."

As their voices grew louder, a startled Mengmeng grabbed both of their hands, crying.

"My sweet girl, Daddy is telling you that you did nothing wrong."

"If someone bullies you, you’re allowed to fight back!"

"We don’t go looking for trouble, but we don’t run from it either."

"As for these clothes, I’ll have Nanny Chen wash them. You’re wearing one to school tomorrow."

With that, Jiang Fan picked up Mengmeng, left the living room, and headed for her room.

"Jiang Fan, what do you think you’re doing?! What is the meaning of this?"

"Do you have any idea how expensive these are? Is that a custom logo? A single one of these pieces could sell for over a hundred thousand, and look how many you brought back!"

Yin Ruxue was practically losing her mind with anger.

"Oh? And so what? Did you spend a single cent on them?"

Jiang Fan shot her a look over his shoulder before closing the door.

"You..."

Yin Ruxue was so enraged she gasped for breath, her ample chest rising and falling heavily.
