The two joked and laughed for a while before asking, "Where to now?"

Yao Tongjia thought for a moment: "If you take me to the clothing factory, the cheongsam won't have matching shoes yet. I still need to go find Wu Xinyue. Her feet are about the same size as mine. I hope she has some!"

Before Yao Tongjia could even enter the factory, Wu Xinyue and Huang Yao came out to greet her: "Huang Yao told me you were here, but I didn't believe her. Why isn't your bride at home enjoying your newlywed life? What are you doing at the factory?"

Yao Tongjia handed several bags of candy to Huang Yao: "Could you please give everyone some wedding candy?"

Huang Yao exclaimed happily, "That's great! Let everyone share in the factory director's good fortune!"

After Huang Yao left, Yao Tongjia grabbed Wu Xinyue's arm and said, "I came here to ask you for a favor!"

"What kind of help is this? A phone call would have sufficed. Why did you have to come all this way in person?"

Upon hearing that she needed to borrow shoes for the competition, Wu Xinyue stood up and said, "Come on, let's go home now. I have a whole room full of shoes. I'm sure I can find the style you want!"

The two got into Wu Xinyue's flashy car, and Yao Tongjia thought of Li Youyou: "Does Youyou still live with you?"

“She moved to her own home. Her brother loves her so much, how could he let her continue to live as a dependent! She moved out before my parents arrived!”

Yao Tongjia thought to herself, "That makes sense. She has a big brother who spoils her, letting her live in a big courtyard and having a whole courtyard of people to serve her. It's really enviable!"

If she had a brother who could dote on her like that, she would never have come here!

Upon arriving at the courtyard house, Su Wanqing hurriedly came out to greet them: "Why has the bride arrived?"

Yao Tongjia laughed: "Auntie, your tone is exactly the same as Xinyue's. No wonder you two are mother and daughter!"

Su Wanqing smiled, her well-maintained face without a single wrinkle. Yao Tongjia exclaimed, "You two look more like sisters than mother and daughter! Auntie, you don't look old at all!"

Su Wanqing quickly said modestly, "Not at all, I'm getting old. When you got married before, I didn't feel comfortable going directly to your home. Your place is in the military region, and since you're here, I brought you a lot of gifts. You and Xinyue can go and pick some out!"

Yao Tongjia was embarrassed: "Auntie, why did you bring me a gift?"

"Tongjia! Auntie is so grateful to you. Thank you for making our Xinyue so lively and energetic. I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life. What's a little gift? Go and pick one out!"

Wu Xinyue feigned sadness: "You have no idea, this time when my mother found out you were getting married, she bought more gifts than I did!"

Su Wanqing patted her daughter: "Stop joking around. You two go and choose for yourselves. Let Tongjia choose first, okay?"

Wu Xinyue pouted: "I know, I knew you loved Tongtong more and didn't want me anymore. Tongjie, let's go, or I'll be heartbroken!"

Wu Xinyue led Yao Tongjia to a spacious room, where they saw many shelves piled high with gifts. To make it easier for people to choose, the gifts were placed on top of boxes.

Yao Tongjia was startled: "This house is a gift house?"

Wu Xinyue wasn't surprised: "It's a gift room, is there a problem with that?"

Yao Tongjia quickly waved her hand: "No problem, no problem!"

It turns out that she was born into a wealthy family, but she never used a nearly 100-square-meter room as a gift room and put so many shelves in it, several of them.

The shelves were filled with gifts; it was so luxurious!

Wu Xinyue pointed to the gifts: "Mom bought these for the two of us. Take a look and see what you like. You can choose first, but you have to take at least half of them!"

Yao Tongjia shook her head: "That's too much!"

Wu Xinyue didn't care: "Anyway, if you don't take it, I'll have someone send it over. You can choose for yourself!"

Yao Tongjia needed sandals, so she went to the sandal section first and quickly took a liking to a pair of black sandals. She liked these sandals because they were black and had a yellow stripe.

These shoes match the cheongsam perfectly. Yao Tongjia took them out and checked the size: "I want these shoes. They match the cheongsam perfectly!"

Wu Xinyue nodded: "If there are suitable shoes, you don't need to choose mine. Take a look at the others. You're going abroad, so you can't dress too shabbily!"

"The clothes here would all look great on you!"

In the end, Yao Tongjia picked out several outfits, matching shoes, and even jewelry and hair accessories...

Yao Tongjia exclaimed, "Your mother is so thorough when she buys things! Everything is a matching set!"

Wu Xinyue shook her head: "Usually my mom just tells the store the size she wants, and each store will send over the matching shoes, jewelry, and hair accessories based on the size provided. It's very convenient!"

Yao Tongjia thought about it and realized that this was the true luxury of Hong Kong's wealthy businessmen. They didn't need to go shopping at all; instead, their goods were delivered directly to their door!

Finally, Wu's driver took Yao Tongjia to the military area. Since vehicles couldn't go in, all her belongings were unloaded at the entrance of the military area.

As a result, many soldiers and their wives witnessed a spectacular scene: Yao Tongjia was surrounded by various bags.

Yao Tongjia could only borrow the security guard's phone and have her father call out five or six soldiers so that she could bring her gift inside. That very night, people came to discuss Yao Tongjia.

"Did you see that? The army commander's daughter spends money like crazy! There are bags of all sizes, they're practically drowning people!"

"How much money do you think it would cost to buy so much stuff? Is the commander that rich? Did he embezzle it?"

......

There were many topics of discussion, and even Xiao Yan came to the Ruan family's courtyard to watch the excitement after hearing the news. The gifts were all placed in Yao Yanxin's studio by Yao Tongjia.

Xiao Yan even went inside to look: "Tongtong, have you struck it rich? Why are you buying so much?"

Yao Tongjia asked with a smile, "Mom, why aren't you angry? Why did you spend so much of my son's money?"

Xiao Yan laughed as well: "It's his ability to spend so much money on you, so why should I be angry? But isn't this a bit too much?"

Yao Tongjia sighed, "Would you believe me if I said I didn't spend a single penny?"

Xiao Yan and Yao Yanxin asked in unison, "Where did you go to steal it?"

Yao Tongjia laughed: "Xin Yue's mother bought these for me. You have no idea. She bought a whole plane full of gifts from Hong Kong and had them flown in directly. Then she filled the whole room with them."

"It's twice the size of our room, and they said the gifts inside would be split between Xin Yue and me, and I could choose them. I didn't want to choose at first."

"But Xinyue said that since I'm going abroad, I can't dress too shabbily. After picking out clothes, I picked out matching shoes, and then hair accessories. That's all!"

"It seems our Commander Ruan is going to be suspected of accepting bribes. This is troublesome!"
