"Xiao Lin, thank you so much for what you did last time. Lao He really likes the outfit you designed for me."

After giving a polite speech, Miss Zhu walked up to Lin Fan.

She expressed her heartfelt gratitude to Lin Fan.

In fact, she and Mr. He never officially established a relationship; they were like secret lovers.

When she went there that time, Boss He also said that he wanted to discuss this matter with her.

When Miss Zhu heard the word "discuss," she instinctively felt something was wrong. If Mr. He wanted to marry her, given his personality, he would have made the decision directly, leaving no room for discussion.

Since we're going to discuss this, I'm afraid I'll have to apologize to myself and then try to make amends.

However, after he wore the uniform designed by Lin Fan that day, when the two met, Boss He immediately seemed a little impatient. After drinking a few glasses of wine, the two naturally became intimate.

After serving Mr. He, he proposed to marry her, which surprised and delighted Miss Zhu.

Therefore, Miss Zhu believes that Lin Fan deserves at least half the credit for making this good thing happen.

"Sister Zhu, you're too kind. It was just a small favor that day."

"Anyway, Sister Zhu, I still want to thank you. Today is my banquet, so have fun!"

Miss Zhu is now one of the most distinguished people in the entire Liangshan County.

Moreover, as the protagonist of the day, all eyes were on her the moment she appeared.

So when Miss Zhu came over to find Lin Fan, Lin Fan naturally caught everyone's attention.

This naturally includes Wang Shuping, who has only been there for a short time.

"How can this be?"

Of all the people present today, Wang Shuping's status is relatively low.

Although these wealthy wives from merchant families are all very rich, they are still far less well-off than the families of these high-ranking political figures.

Wang Shuping arrived relatively late and had not seen the wives surrounding Lin Fan beforehand, so his gaze remained fixed on Miss Zhu after he arrived.

She only noticed Lin Fan when Miss Zhu walked up to him and started talking to him.

"How could that be? How could he know Miss Zhu?"

Wang Shuping stared ahead at the two people chatting and laughing with each other, their faces filled with disbelief.

Lin Fan is just a country bumpkin. How could he possibly know someone like Miss Zhu?

"Shuping, what are you looking at?"

Just as Wang Shuping was in a daze, a woman who was usually on good terms with her came over and asked her curiously.

Following Wang Shuping's gaze, the woman's expression froze.

"This young man looks familiar. Oh right, I remember now, isn't he the young man you kicked out of your house?"

The two often interacted. Before Lin Fan was kicked out of the house, he was considered a young master of the Ye family. Naturally, the woman who was acquainted with Wang Shuping knew Lin Fan.

"This young man is really good-looking, and he even knows Miss Zhu..."

After the woman said a few words, her expression became somewhat strange.

She noticed that Wang Shuping's expression was a little off, so she didn't continue to mention Lin Fan in front of Wang Shuping and quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, Shuping, how's your family's land doing?"

When this was mentioned, Wang Shuping's gaze unconsciously turned to Miss Zhu beside her, and she frowned and said, "Regarding the land, we still need to rely on Miss Zhu. See if you can help me out because we are both from Liangshan County."

The woman hesitated before speaking, then asked, "You and Miss Zhu aren't very familiar with each other, are you sure you're confident?"

At this point, Wang Shuping's expression finally improved considerably.

She smiled and said, "I have already asked Mrs. Zhu to take care of this matter."

"Mrs. Zhu sent Miss Zhu a few pieces of clothing through Mrs. Zhou, and mentioned to them that she really liked the clothes I sent, saying that you should meet me later to chat."

"I see. Well then, I must congratulate you in advance."

A smile crept onto Wang Shuping's face.

Remembering that those clothes were given to her by her son, she couldn't help but feel proud again.

So what if Lin Fan knows Miss Zhu? His son is no less impressive!

He's just an opportunistic country bumpkin; why should I spoil my fun because of him?

……

On the other side, after chatting with Miss Zhu for a few minutes, Miss Zhu looked at Lin Fan and suddenly said, "By the way, Lin, I really like those custom-made fur coats from your tailor shop."

“I will send someone to your tailor shop every month to order one item, so you have to reserve a spot for me.”

Miss Zhu smiled and looked at Lin Fan as she spoke.

Lin Fan nodded, about to agree, when he suddenly realized something.

"Miss Zhu, have you ordered any clothes from us?"

Miss Zhu was taken aback by Lin Fan's question. She asked, "What's wrong? Lin, is something the problem?"

Lin Fan frowned and thought carefully for a moment before asking, "Miss Zhu, are you sure you ordered it in your own name? Does the 'custom-made' text on it include the surname Zhu?"

Miss Zhu nodded affirmatively: "Yes, the character 'Zhu' is indeed embroidered on the clothes. Is there a problem?"

Lin Fan glanced at the people around him privately, then suddenly leaned close to Miss Zhu and whispered, "Sister Zhu, to be honest, the high-end custom-made fur coat costs three thousand yuan a piece, and only five pieces are made each month. The two thousand yuan one is also only fifteen pieces."

"In other words, I know exactly who ordered these twenty pieces of clothing and what words were to be embroidered on them. No one with the surname Zhu has ordered any this month, or even last month."

As soon as she finished speaking, Miss Zhu's face suddenly darkened.

"what do you mean……"

Miss Zhu didn't say it explicitly, but it was clear that both of them understood what the other was saying.

No one surnamed Zhu has ever commissioned any of these clothes, so where did she get them from? There's only one possibility left: they're fake!

For someone of Miss Zhu's status to wear a luxury fur coat and then choose a fake one would be incredibly embarrassing if she were to go out in public.

"Huh? Kobayashi, are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"

"Miss Zhu's clothes were a gift from me, how could they be fake? Weren't they made by your tailor shop?"

At this moment, Mrs. Zhou, who was standing to the side, also spoke up.

She looked down at the fur coat she was wearing, which was the same one she had given to Miss Zhu.

"Xiaolin, do you think there's anything wrong with what I'm wearing?"

Mrs. Zhou was also a little nervous. What if the clothes she gave to Miss Zhu were really fake? Would she offend the Zhu family because of this?

After all, people at their level value face the most. You can choose not to give gifts, but you can't give them counterfeit goods. That would be slapping them in the face, especially someone of Ms. Zhu's status. Do you think I can't afford to wear genuine products?
