Chapter 265: Whose Bag Is This?

“Why are you always trying to poach people from me?”

“All is fair in love and war.”

The two individuals sitting in the front row started arguing, uncaring of their surroundings or the people around them. Those who knew them were already used to their constant bickering. The two middle-aged men were old classmates and had known each other for decades. The fiercer their quarrel, the more it showed how close they were.

Lu Qingzhou was sandwiched between the two men. They were so noisy that it was beginning to give him a headache. Instead, he turned his attention to Su Wen, whose silhouette continued to nag at him with aching familiarity.

There was a shop he visited in the countryside- -a shop he encountered while exploring the supply and marketing cooperative.

That’s right! That’s right.

Hiding behind the curtain, Cao Meihua and Deputy Director Wei heaved a sigh of relief. The duo was pleased with how Su Wen dealt with the situation; her stunning performance was merely icing on the cake.

Now, the two had more energy to pay attention to other things. Deputy Director Wei, for one, noticed the bag Cao Meihua was carrying around. His eyes lit up, and he even forgot about their competition, if only momentarily. “Deputy Director Cao, where did you buy your bag?” she asked, enraptured by the sight.

“Bag? What bag?” Cao Meihua was confused. Looking down, she realized Deputy Director Wei was referring to the soft, light brown leather handbag she had slung over her shoulder. The backpack bore a unique design, which, when paired with its irresistible texture, made it breathtaking to anyone who beheld it.

Despite having carried it the whole time, she had not felt its weight- -it showed how light and expertly crafted it was.

Such a bag was not something just anyone could buy on the open market.

Cao Meihua’s husband came from a wealthy family. Her mother-in-law had a bag from a foreign brand, one she had bought in her youth while studying abroad. It was her mother-in-law’s most treasured bag. Some of her father-in-law’s antiques were sold or given away in recent years, while others were lost. Only her mother-in-law’s bag remained untouched because it had been hidden so well.

Her mother-in-law only began using it again in the recent two years, and whenever Cao Meihua saw it, she would feel nothing but envy.

When she first set eyes on the bag, she had subconsciously compared it with her mother-in-law’s branded one, believing she had found something of a higher quality and novel design. It certainly suited her tastes better.

Deputy Director Wei touched it. It was as soft as a baby’s skin. It was so beautiful she could not bear the thought of letting go.

“What excellent material! Where did you buy it? It must have been expensive!” Deputy Director Wei exclaimed enviously. Although she and Cao Meihua were competitors and usually did not like each other when they met, she was impressed by Cao Meihua’s taste.

Indeed, she was inferior to her in that regard.

She could not afford a bag like that, nor did she have the channels to obtain one.

Deputy Director Wei said what was on her mind without filtering her words.

“I… This is not mine.” Only then did Cao Meihua realize that Su Wen had casually stuffed the bag into her hands and asked her to hold it when she remembered to change her clothes. Everything happened so fast that she had not noticed when she had slung the bag over her shoulder.

Although the bag had a double-shoulder strap, it looked better on one shoulder. It made her look free and easy, almost casual. It was the type of look popular in the 1980s.

“It’s Su Wen’s bag,” Cao Meihua explained. “She asked me to hold on to it when she changed her clothes to go on stage.”

“I see. Your friend must not be from a common background,” Deputy Director Wei praised. Not only did she play the piano like a virtuoso, but she also had the wealth to buy bags like the one Cao Meihua carried.

When evaluating a person, one has to evaluate them holistically, paying attention to all the details..
