For Xie Jing, it seemed she was always a supporting character. Though the eldest daughter, her parents favored her twin younger siblings, Xie Wuyi and Xie Wuyou more. In terms of family affection, ...
Liu Limin covered her mouth and laughed, "The key is not the price, but the thought. Ji Yun is thoughtful."
Xie Jing listened to her talk, as if she and Zhou Jiyun seemed to have a deep and lasting relationship. But so far, she and Zhou Jiyun had only met twice. Who would believe her if she told others about it?
Xie Wuyou interrupted: "Sister, I really envy you. I wonder if I will have such an expensive wedding dress when I get married."
Xie Jing replied calmly, "You'll have a lot of time to prepare for the wedding, so naturally we'll have whatever wedding gowns you want. Xiuhe dresses, morning robes, bridesmaid dresses, custom-made wedding gowns, and so on. We'll have them all."
Liu Limin's face froze. She patted Xie Jing's shoulder and said, "Your father and I love you too. Wasn't your wedding to Ji Yun so hasty? We didn't have time to prepare many things."
"You're a rather introverted kid, and you don't have any close friends. Even if people want to take pictures, they don't have the material."
The brand manager knew it was her turn to speak, so she stepped forward and said, "You are Ms. Xie Jing, right? Mr. Zhou Jiyun has asked us to send you the latest wedding dress of this season. Ms. Xie Jing, please try it on first. If it doesn't fit, I can make modifications on the spot."
"Mr. Zhou said that the wedding ceremony should be quick and simple, which ultimately wronged you. But since this is the case, I have to make up for it in other ways."
Although she was deeply troubled and didn't have high expectations for this marriage, Xie Jing didn't want to embarrass others. When she heard the brand manager's words, she just curled her lips slightly and said, "Okay, thank you for your trouble. It's my honor to wear a wedding dress from your brand."
The other party bowed slightly when he heard this: "It's not a bother, this is my job. It's our honor that you like our wedding dress, Miss Xie."
Xie Jing's look was already done, so the brand manager followed her into the fitting room. Although Xie Xuerong and Liu Limin favored her twin siblings, Xie Jing still maintained her dignity as the eldest daughter.
For example, Liu Limin would arrange everything, such as fitting rooms and monthly clothing expenses. As long as Xie Jing didn't touch the Xie family's assets, Liu Limin and Xie Xuerong were quite generous, but ultimately they couldn't compare to their twin siblings.
After helping Xie Jing zip up the back of her wedding gown, the brand manager smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou gave me the right size. This gown really suits you, Miss Xie."
Xie Jing was a little surprised: "Mr. Zhou... is this the size Zhou Jiyun gave me?"
How did he know?
The brand manager smiled and said, "Yes, the wedding dress has been modified yesterday according to Mr. Zhou's requirements. Mr. Zhou is very attentive to you. It suits you perfectly."
Xie Jing stroked the exquisite embroidery on the wedding dress: "Your wedding dress is beautiful. It will look good on anyone."
"That's different," the brand manager said with a smile. "After all, clothes are meant to complement the person. Only you can really show off the unique qualities of this wedding dress. It perfectly magnifies your best qualities."
Xie Jing looked at herself in the full-length mirror and couldn't help but agree with the other person's words. It was indeed as he said. The one-shoulder design perfectly showcased her superior shoulder and neck lines, and the straight cut further emphasized her superior body curves, highlighting her slender figure.
The various diamonds and beads on the wedding dress further highlight its luxury. Of course, the emphasis is on its expensiveness.
"Mr. Zhou has also prepared jewelry for your wedding and specially entrusted us to deliver it together." Seeing Xie Jing staring at herself in the mirror in a daze, the brand manager reminded her in time. After all, the groom would be here to pick up the bride soon.
Xie Jing felt that today's development was completely different from what she had expected. Zhou Jiyun had even prepared wedding jewelry for her? Didn't he not ask about such matters? Didn't the wedding planning company arrange all the arrangements?
With such doubts, Xie Jing walked out of the cloakroom. Liu Limin raised her eyes and saw Xie Jing slowly walking towards her. Liu Limin's eyes wavered slightly, and the next second she smiled and said, "She is so beautiful. I said Ji Yun has excellent taste."
"I always feel guilty for letting you get married in such a hurry. Now that Ji Yun is so considerate, I feel much more relieved."
Xie Wuyou pouted, feeling a little jealous that Xie Jing could wear such a beautiful wedding dress. But when she thought of the rumors about Zhou Jiyun's persistence in his first love, she couldn't help but feel a little proud.
What's the point of being beautiful? Her future husband's heart is not with her, and she will be alone in the future. Thinking of this, Xie Wuyou felt happy.
Compared to these, Xie Wuyou was more curious about the other password box. However, the staff clearly stated that it could only be opened in the presence of Xie Jing, so Xie Wuyou could only suppress his anxiety and wait for Xie Jing to come out.
Now that Xie Jing had come out, Xie Wuyou couldn't hold back any longer. She came over and took Xie Jing's arm, shaking it as if to act like a spoiled child.
"Sister, this staff member said that only you can open the box. Can you please open your eyes?"
Xie Jing felt a little uncomfortable. She and her younger siblings were not close to begin with, let alone such an intimate gesture as holding hands.
The staff member pushed the password box in front of Xie Jing: "This is the wedding jewelry that Mr. Zhou Jiyun prepared for you. The password is your birthday."
Xie Jing was a little surprised, but not too much. In a family like the Zhou family, as long as he wanted to know something, he would know it quickly. Besides, Xie Jing also knew Zhou Jiyun's birthday, so Xie Jing's surprise was gone.
"Miss Xie, please open it and take a look?"
Liu Limin also chimed in: "Let's open it and take a look. The wedding was so rushed that Mom didn't have time to prepare many things. And now at home..."
She didn't say the rest, she believed Xie Jing could understand.
Xie Jing naturally understood what she meant. She raised the corner of her lips in self-mockery. As far as she knew, Liu Limin had been preparing Xie Wuyou's dowry since she was born, and she had done so every year. As for herself, she had nothing.
Although she is the eldest daughter, the funny thing is that Xie Jing owns very little.
For example, for this marriage, all the jewelry was purchased on the spot. Especially since the Xie family was struggling financially, Liu Limin bought even less jewelry for her. So, despite appearing impartial on the surface, Liu Limin was actually extremely biased in secret.
Sometimes Xie Jing even doubted herself. Was she Liu Limin's biological daughter? Why was she treated so differently? She used to cry and make a scene, but now she didn't even have the energy to do so.
As early as when they forced her to study art in college and did not allow her to study medicine or economics, she no longer had the energy to argue with Liu Liming and Xie Xuerong.
Putting aside these unpleasant memories, Xie Jing followed her instructions and entered the four numbers 1010. The safe clicked open. Xie Jing took out the gift box inside and opened it to reveal a complete set of sapphire jewelry.
The necklace, earrings, and rings were completely different from the set of jewelry Liu Liming brought from the dressing table.
