Chapter 107: Wu Shi, Don’t Dirty Your Hands
Outside the courtyard, Yunhui trembled all over. Fu Ya actually agreed with my approach? But she’s such a talented person!
Fu Bing stared directly at Elder Lady Chu. "I think your ideas are too narrow. Even if embroidery is endowed with profound cultural values, it’s just one of many things that can be passed down. It’s meant to be used in all aspects of life; it can be elegant, and it can be popular. The Chu Family Embroidery House is being gradually replaced by Ya Garden precisely because its positioning has remained unchanged. Furthermore, the embroidery masters at the Chu Family Embroidery House currently lack aesthetic sense, artistic depth, and skill in composing pictorial designs, which has driven away customers who originally liked the Embroidery House."
"I’ve also recently investigated matters related to the Embroidery House and looked into Yunhui’s operations over the years. The root of the gradual decline of the Embroidery House isn’t her, but you."
Elder Lady Chu said angrily, "I see you’re not here to wish me a happy birthday, you’re planning to visit my grave this time next year!"
"You see? As soon as your issues are mentioned, you react intensely. You have your thoughts and ideas, and others have theirs too. Why do you think others should unconditionally accept your views? In my opinion, all the pain Yunhui currently suffers stems from your disapproval. Your disapproval has caused the other embroiderers at the Embroidery House to look down on her, preventing her from implementing many of her ideas. A leader who isn’t respected by their employees is useless, no matter what ideas they have."
Elder Lady Chu said coldly, "You’re actually speaking up for her! Don’t you want to own Yunxi Lane and the Chu Family Embroidery House?"
"My longing for Yunxi Lane comes from the fact that it was a place where my mother once lived, not from the value it represents."
Elder Lady Chu’s complexion grew increasingly unsightly. Yunhui was about to move out of Yunxi Lane, and Fu Bing had no interest in it either. Fu Ya and Yunhui’s ideas on embroidery were vastly different from hers. Is the Chu Family Embroidery House really doomed? A feeling of emptiness suddenly filled Elder Lady Chu’s heart, and she looked blankly ahead. Was I... really wrong? Should the Chu Family come down from their pedestal and cater to ordinary people who can’t afford silk clothes? Earn money from people I don’t even respect?
Elder Lady Chu muttered to herself, "You can leave now."
Fu Bing did not leave but said softly, "I know you’re suffering now. I’ll stay with you."
"Who wants your company? A bastard whose father is unknown, what right do you have to be with me?"
Wu Shi suddenly appeared in front of Elder Lady Chu from behind Fu Bing, his hand clamping around her neck, forcefully lifting her entire body into the air.
