Chapter 40 – The Su Family Is A Harbinger Of Bad Luck

The beautiful spring had passed and coming to bid it goodbye  was the cold winds  of early  autumn.  Su Wan  shivered as the wind rustled  past her with cold dew settling  down her hair and clothes , it was still  early in the morning  yet they were walking in the middle of the street in nothing but summer clothes . 

The previous Su Wan was really poor despite being the only daughter of a mistress  of a big household , thus , the clothes  that she packed  was also  thin and washed out . Every time  wind blew past her , Su Wan  would involuntarily shivered and clutched  on Lin Yu 's arm even  tighter  for warmth .

Lin Yu who saw Su Wan tremble because of the cold let her lean on to him , even though  his heart trembled with  a sudden  itch . He knew that Su Wan  was feeling cold thus , he let her get closer to his body so that  she could share his warmth but even this proximity  was enough  to make his face blush bright red ! 

Su Wan  who was busy looking around in fascination  didn't  notice  the oddity in Lin Yu  infact everytime  she felt cold , she  would  rub her hand on Lin Yu 's arm who in turn would blush  even  more furiously . To Su Wan  this action  wasn't  that bad after kissing Lin Chen  in broad light her courage that was restrained because  of getting transmigrated in an ancient era suddenly grew even  bold and she stopped restraining herself completely . 

Not to mention  it was really cold ! What was more important  paying attention to moral conduct or saving  yourself from getting a cold ? Ofcourse  it was the latter ! Su Wan  didn't  want to get a runny nose thus she continued  hugging  Lin Yu .

Just like Lin Yu the others too have seen that Su Wan  was feeling  cold , so Lin Rui  hurriedly flanked  Su Wan while  Lin Jing  started  walking in front  of her so that his tall body might be able to block the cold winds . Even Lin Yan  who was always on odd with her started  walking closely behind her like her personal heater .

Su Wan who was now packed like a precious egg felt warmth bubble in her heart and she finally let go of her remaining anger.  Aye , who told her to be so soft hearted? ( lol yes you are really soft hearted , you are so soft hearted  that you skinned Grandma Lin  ) 

Together  with the Lin brothers  who were flanking around her  like bodyguards , Su Wan  arrived  at the embroidery  shop  that belonged to the original owner's mother. 

The shop wasn't  small  at all .It comprised  of two floors , the bottom  floor sold the rough and coarse cloth  as well as the finished  products  that the commoners could easily  purchased  while the second floor most probably  sold  the high end luxurious  products  that only those  with money could afford  .

Despite such an impressive display  the shop was deserted  with  zero customers  around . Su Wan  frowned and then she looked left  then right  , the shop was located at the busiest street , the peddlers  were  shouting , the shops  near her shop was filled with hustle and bustle only her shop  was desolate  and empty . 

Su Wan  shifted her foot and just as she was going  to enter the shop and impatient  voice most probably  belonging to the manager  stopped her " I have already told you that our shop has no extra clothes  for winter  ! What do you mean by – oh , hello , how can I help you ?" 

The woman whom Su Wan  assumed as the manager  quickly changed  her impatient  expression  and politely  greeted her . The woman looked over forty but she had somehow managed  herself  well , she was really  beautiful  in a mature  kinda way and she was dressed appropriately  not lavishly like the rich ladies  but  well enough to let people know that she was important  .

Su Wan  arched an eyebrow  than she took out the  title deed from her cloth bag and showed it to the woman  " I'm  Su Wan  my late mother was the owner of this shop , she was the eldest  lady of the old Shen  family" 

The middle age woman took the title deed with trembling  hands  and warmly gushed once she examined  the title deed  and realized  it wasn't  fake " My lady  – oh , my lady you are finally here ! "  the middle aged woman dabbed her eyes with her handkerchief  as she invited Su Wan  and the others inside  the  shop .

Su Wan  and the others entered the shop while the woman guided them  inside  . She took them to a room which wasn't  small but it wasn't big either , except some stools ,  table and some  clothes with  unfinished  embroidery  on them  was inside the room . 

" Please sit  down, miss " said the woman then she turned to look at her assistant  and asked her to bring some tea and cakes . Since , Su Wan  was indeed thirsty after walking so much she didn't  stand  on ceremony either.

" Yes madam Cheng " complied the assistant and walked  out of the room .

" Its so great , so great that you are here " with voice that trembled  under her excitement Madam  Cheng shook Su Wan's  hand "  Miss , if you were two months late , I don't  know whether you would have been  able to see this shop here  " 

Su Wan  naturally  understood  what Madam Cheng was getting at , to make someone feel so despaired  . Only Su family was capable of doing this ! 

" madam  Cheng , did the Su family cause you trouble  ?" asked Su Wan  she was so disgusted with the Su family  for making  a poor woman this despaired  that she wished she could  change her name ! 

" Trouble  ? If the Su family  only brought trouble  then it wouldn't  be much of a problem  . I'm  an old widow , what troubles  have I not seen ? " said Madam Cheng  with  a mocking sneer  " however , the Su family  is not  just a trouble making family ! That family  is the harbinger  of bad luck !"
