Chapter 453 Only when you have ability will others respect you.

On the way, Shen Mo's twelve comrades, who didn't understand English, also realized something was amiss.

Seeing their confusion, Shen Mo explained the situation to them.

Upon learning that the other party was discriminating against them, who were Chinese, everyone was filled with anger.

But the cultural disconnect of those ten years left them helpless.

At this moment, their eyes turned to admiration as they looked at Jiang Ning. It seemed that only when one had ability would others respect them.

Conversely, the same applies to nations.

Once China becomes strong, people from other countries will no longer dare to discriminate against them.

They will definitely work hard to make the country strong!

If you can find racial discrimination in a random clothing store, you can't be much better off in other stores.

Although we shouldn't condemn her outright, what happened today has affected her mood.

Having failed to buy any clothes, Jiang Ning was about to take them home when she saw a small shop on a street corner.

A Chinese cheongsam hangs inside the glass door.

During China's dark decade, many people went abroad, which is why there are overseas Chinese in many countries today.

Jiang Ning led them into the store.

The shop wasn't big. When the shop manager saw a large group of people enter, she thought they were robbers and hurriedly hid inside.

Seeing that the old lady was avoiding them, Jiang Ning quickly asked, "Grandma, do you have any ready-made clothes?"

Upon hearing the familiar Mandarin, the old lady who had been hiding inside the house stopped, turned around, and quickly picked up her reading glasses from the table and put them on.

Looking at the dozen or so people with Asian faces in front of me, I felt a sense of kinship.

The old lady asked, "Young lady, are you looking to buy clothes?"

Jiang Ning nodded and said, "We want to buy them all. I see you have cheongsams and Zhongshan suits here. I want to buy one cheongsam and fifteen Zhongshan suits. Thirteen of them are for them."

As Jiang Ning spoke, she pointed to Shen Mo and his comrades.

Upon hearing that Jiang Ning wanted to buy them clothes, they quickly waved their hands and said, "Sister-in-law, we already have clothes to wear, there's no need to buy any!"

Shen Mo said with a smile, "Don't refuse, your sister-in-law is rich."

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "I'll pay for all your expenses in Country D. You can also bring back things for your family if you want."

Escorting her to Country D without knowing if there was any danger involved, buying them some things is nothing.

Anyway, she's rich and can do whatever she wants.

With Shen Mo around, everyone was forced to accept the clothes Jiang Ning bought for them.

When the old lady saw that they all wanted to buy clothes, she immediately covered her eyes and walked around them.

After walking around the circle, she went inside.

When he came out again, he was carrying a stack of clothes.

She laid the clothes on the table and then distributed them to them one set at a time.

"Try them on first to see if they fit. If they don't, I'll alter them for you on the spot." After saying that, she looked at Jiang Ning and said with a smile, "Girl, come inside with me. I have many outfits that would suit you. Take a look and see which one you like."

Jiang Ning followed the old lady into the back room, where there were many mannequins, each dressed in a cheongsam.

After inquiring, Jiang Ning learned that the old lady was an old tailor whose skills were passed down from her ancestors.

It's just that people from other countries don't appreciate it, so very few people come to the old lady to order clothes.

The old lady came to Country D with her son and has stayed there for more than ten years.

Despite no one buying them, she still made a lot of clothes.

Jiang Ning knows nothing about clothing, but you can tell if someone has real skills just by looking at the stitches.

The embroidery on the clothes is clearly handmade, stitch by stitch. In the modern world, I wonder how many people would come to ask to have clothes made.

The old lady asked kindly, "Young lady, which one do you prefer?"

Jiang Ning spun around in front of the mannequin twice.

In the end, three sets were selected.

She plans to buy all three sets.

Seeing that Jiang Ning was going to buy so much, the old lady was very happy. She was glad that her work was finally appreciated.

She took off a set and handed it to Jiang Ning, "Girl, try it on, let me see if the size is wrong."

Jiang Ning went into the changing room to change into a cheongsam. As soon as she came out, she heard voices outside.

Everyone seemed to be teasing Shen Mo.

As soon as she stepped outside, the discussion outside immediately ceased. The moment they saw her, the eyes of more than a dozen grown men were wide open.

Jiang Ning wore a gorgeous red cheongsam. The bright red color was like a flame burning in the darkness, catching the eye. The cheongsam was made of the finest silk, which shimmered under the light.

The cheongsam is a traditional long cheongsam, and underneath she wears a white petticoat. The hem of the petticoat is adorned with pearls, which sway and collide with her movements as she walks, making a crisp but unobtrusive sound.

Her long, dark hair was tied up with a hairpin, revealing her fair and slender neck.

They say red makes one's skin look better, and this outfit makes one look even fairer.

Shen Mo knew that his wife was beautiful, but Jiang Ning usually dressed casually, and most of the time she wore a hospital white coat.

He could guess that his wife would be stunning with just a little dressing up, but he didn't expect her to be this beautiful!

Even though she wasn't showing any skin, the way she looked at him inexplicably carried a hint of allure, making his heart pound uncontrollably.

While Shen Mo was amazed by his appearance, Jiang Ning also noticed his Zhongshan suit.

He usually wears military uniforms more often, but this Zhongshan suit gives him an inexplicable air of scholarly elegance.

It suits him very well.

"Hello, my dear wife..."

Before he could even utter a word of praise, she walked over and reached out to straighten his collar.

"This outfit suits you perfectly, it looks amazing on you!"

When Shen Mo heard his wife's words of praise, he was so pleased that a smile appeared on his face.

He tugged at Jiang Ning's hand, "If my wife thinks it looks good, then it definitely looks good."

"Oh my!" A chorus of cheers erupted from the surrounding crowd.

China is now quite strict about this; even married couples aren't allowed to hold hands in public.

At this moment, he didn't care about other people's opinions at all; he just wanted to hold his wife tightly in his hands.

At this moment, the old lady came out, looked at the couple, and smiled.

"They're a perfect match."

As she spoke, she took out a ruler and measured their figures one by one.

She was an experienced tailor, and the measurements she had taken were all fairly accurate. The clothes fit them quite well, with only a few minor alterations made.

The clothes Jiang Ning and Shen Mo wore fit their bodies perfectly; they were the most perfect standard of body shape in the eyes of a tailor, and no alterations were needed.

Because I needed to alter my clothes, I spent the whole day at the tailor shop.

After the clothes were altered, Jiang Ning paid the bill, and the group returned to the hotel.

With some time to spare before the banquet, Jiang Ning returned to the hotel and delivered the clothes she had bought for the two deans. Then she went back to her room and put on some light makeup.
