"Whoa now, you've got it all wrong! This is a terrible misunderstanding! Just look at us," Brother Daping exclaimed when he heard the man's accusation. He quickly grabbed his lapels for them to see. "We're dressed decently. Do we look like the sort of short-sighted, uncultured people you're thinking of?"
The leader looked the two of them up and down several times, his gaze lingering on Xiao Furen. While both of their outfits were dusty and gray, Xiao Furen was wearing a Zhongshan suit. It was the very one the old lady had recently made for her son-in-law to wear to work. The patches on the elbows were neat and square, a clear sign that the clothes were new.
As they say, clothes make the man. No matter the era, the first thing people notice when they size you up is how you're dressed. And one look at Xiao Furen's attire told you he was no ordinary person.
