Chapter 481 - Work Together
Fang Tao was more than just aware of her situation, she knew that her family was nothing but a bunch of blood-sucking leeches. They would keep on clinging and sucking her blood until nothing was left in her body- after all, they have done the same thing to her sisters too. Both of her elder sisters were sold off and her mother drove her second sister to a corner until the latter had no choice but to break off her relationship with her maternal family.
Her parents had the prodigal thinking that only sons were good, thus they didn't even treat their daughters like humans. They were just a source of getting money for their beloved sons and before becoming a chip to be sold for a decent price, they all were a means of providing comfort to her brothers.
Fang Tao had worked hard throughout the years, she - even though she didn't want to admit that she was average looking, she knew that it would be impossible for her to win the heart of some young master, that's why she worked hard on creating something unique so that sone day she will be able to break the vicious chain that keeps on running in her family.
Thus, this embroidered cloth wasn't just a piece of cloth but all her dreams and hope combined! She couldn't miss the opportunity that she got after waiting for so long, once she earns enough money after selling herself, she will make sure to save the money after working for Su Wan and then - she will buy her younger sisters out of that hell one by one!
There was no way she could fail now, Fang Tao took a deep breath and looked Su Wan right in the eye " I have worked on refining this technique for years, it's not only unique but it is something that no one can copy without learning the secret technique that I use." She thought of her younger sisters who were waiting to be rescued and her voice got more and more steady " I use the finest thread that I could buy and then made the mixture of the scented water by me from collecting the morning dew to grinding the flowers for collecting their scents, I have done everything by myself. If you buy me then you will not be making any losses, I will repay all the money that you have used on me in just one month!"
Su Wan heard Fang Tao's determined words and instinctively smirked slyly, these words weren't these the same words that she had said in front of the old man who financed her restaurant? Interestingly, after her death, she was able to hear these same words from someone else's mouth. " Very well then, if this is what you believe in then I will invest in your idea"
As soon as she said that, her husbands were immediately worked up. They looked at her with opposing glares but Su Wan simply smiled at them, she knew that what she was doing was a risk, but weren't they able to reach this far after taking one risk after another?
Fang Tao who finally got through the first huddle, felt like a huge boulder has been lifted off her shoulders.
" However, your plans have some loopholes and for that……" Su Wan turned around and dragged Fang Zimo who was skulking behind the kitchen " That's why you two will be working hard on finalizing the formula once again,"
" Hah??" Fang Zimo who just wanted to keep an eye on what was this witch of a woman doing with his Brother Yan was surprised enough when he was caught by Su Wan but what was more surprising that she asked him to work with this short-stacks! " why should I work with her? I mean what's the point? I don't know a thing about embroidery!"
" Yes, sister Wan Wan. I don't need this fruity to work with me, I will be able to work on the formulation by myself" Fang Tao was also shocked by Su Wan's sudden decision, she has always worked alone and she was fine then … of course, she will be just as fine now right?
Su Wan grabbed the back of Fang Zimo's collar and smiled gently like a noble lady but her smile was quite similar to Madam Huo when she was planning something mischievous " Zimo, have you forgotten? Ah Yan brought you here to help me in my work but ever since you got here apart from stalking my husband and keeping track of what he is doing while sticking to him all day, you have done nothing"
Fang Zimo who was caught sneaking flushed red but before he could say a thing to refute Su Wan's claim, he was interrupted by Fang Tao." Oh My! So you really are fruity! And here I thought you just looked like a frail girl"
Fang Zimo, hated two things the most - one when someone tried to keep him away from his brother Yan and second when someone called him a girly boy. Thus, he immediately blew up when he heard Fang Tao call him a ' fruity'. " who are you calling a fruity, you ugly girl? First, look at your face that looks like a monster cat who somehow mutated itself to become a human before calling me a fruity!"
" That's right!" cheered Lin Chen from the side making everyone look at him in sync. Realizing that he has said his thoughts out loud, Lin Chen cleared his throat and smiled innocently " I meant to say, that's very rude , Brother Zimo"
" Humph, coward" snorted Fang Tao before turning to look at Fang Zimo and hissing like an angry cat " I might be ugly but I am at least not stalking a poor man like you"
" That's because you are stalking a woman"
"It's not stalking! It's pursuing. Get your facts straight"
The two of them glared and snarled at each other like a cat and dog were fighting on the street until Su Wan motioned to Lin Yan who slapped Fang Zimo on the back of his head.
She then turned to look at the two who resemble more of a pet than her little meow and smiled " if you two don't work together then ……" her smile remained in place but then her voice dipped lower and a chill crawl up on everyone's spine " then get lost".
