Well...
Does Ran Jie really need to be so perceptive?
Shouldn't the focus be on continuing to discuss negotiating the interview time?
Jian Ruoxi felt a little guilty and spoke haltingly.
"Alright, you don't need to say anymore whether it was Su Ziyu who told you."
Only Su Ziyi would betray Jian Ruoxi in order to please her.
However, Ruoxi was right. Given his current status, even if he were to renegotiate the time with the reporters, they would have no choice but to listen.
Anyway, today's interview wasn't that important, so going tomorrow would be the same.
What intrigued him even more was Ruoxi's reason for doing so.
He casually sat down in the chair, crossed his legs, and said to the head maid beside him, "Could you please make me some coffee? I want to hear what kind of reason your Miss Jian can give me."
If it's not enough, you'll drag the person away even if you have to pull them.
"Tell me, if you don't want to do an interview today, what do you want to do?"
"I found an old tailor shop."
She managed to find out this after asking around all night through her connections with the head maid.
"Are you short of clothes?"
Ran Jie asked in surprise?
Logically, this shouldn't be the case. What kind of clothes would require an old tailor shop?
Both Ruoxi and Huarui have numerous clothing endorsements, and new clothing products are constantly being released.
There didn't seem to be a lack of clothes in Lu Shen's private villa.
"It's not for me, it's for Lu Shen."
After she finished speaking, Jian Ruoxi suddenly realized that the head maid was still there, and quickly made a shushing gesture to her.
"Don't tell Lu Shen about this."
Lu Shen even gave her a black dress.
She gave Lu Shen a shirt she made herself, as a way of returning the favor.
The servants inside the villa all belong to Lu Shen, so it's not surprising that Lu Shen would know what she does at home.
But she still thought she could keep it a secret for as long as possible.
This can be considered a surprise for Lu Shen.
"Don't worry, Miss Jane, I understand," the head maid said with a smile.
They were finally waiting for the two of them to take their relationship to the next level. These past few days, seeing that the young master and young mistress's relationship had made no progress had driven them crazy.
It seems the young mistress is going to give the young master a surprise. She'll tell the servants inside and the bodyguards outside later.
For the sake of the young master's happiness, no one can say a word.
"So that's why you're making clothes for Lu Shen," Ran Jie said sarcastically.
It seems that Lu Shen's skill in using water to grind things really works.
This gradually made Jian Ruoxi lower her guard against him.
If things continue to develop this way, they're probably not far from getting back together.
"It's not what you think. Lu Shen gave me something before."
"This is just a return gift."
Jian Ruoxi seemed afraid that someone would misunderstand her relationship with Lu Shen, so she quickly explained.
She just didn't realize that the more you explain something, the more it seems like you're trying to cover it up.
"Okay, I know what you want to say."
"Think it through yourself, and as long as you don't regret it, that's all I can say."
When he got back, he tried to persuade Su Ziyu to stop focusing all his attention on Ruoxi.
Ruoxi's heart wasn't with him at all; no matter how hard he tried, it was all in vain.
"Thank you, Ran Jie."
With Ran Jie's permission, she finally got an extra half-day off.
Following the address provided by the head maid, Jian Ruoxi found the old tailor shop.
The tailor shop was located in an alley in a very remote mountain village on the outskirts of the city.
From the outside, the store not only looks dim, but also gloomy.
She was a little scared and didn't dare to go in.
"You're the one who called this morning, right?"
An aged voice suddenly rang out behind Jian Ruoxi, startling her.
Turning around, she saw an old woman with a withered face, wearing a purple cheongsam, and with a full head of silver hair, staring intently at her.
Jian Ruoxi felt a chill run down her spine.
Are you the owner of this tailor shop?
This place is so eerie. If things get really bad, she should leave as soon as possible.
"Yes, I am the best tailor here. If you want to make clothes, come in."
The old woman led Jian Ruoxi into the shop and turned on the lights, instantly illuminating the shop.
Although the sewing machine looks old, its surface is still very smooth, which is obviously due to frequent use.
"What kind of clothes do you want?" the old woman's hoarse voice rang out again.
"I want to make a men's shirt, can you teach me how?"
The old woman looked Jian Ruoxi up and down again, and after a long while, she replied, "Okay."
When teaching Jian Ruoxi how to make clothes, she didn't lift a finger the whole time, but sat aside and directed her.
"No, it's not this side that's to be cut off; the sleeves are going to be cut off completely."
"The stitches are too rough. Do you want the person wearing it to have their skin rubbed raw?"
Sometimes, when she got anxious, the old woman would tap Jian Ruoxi's head with the ruler in her hand.
"You're so stupid, I shouldn't have agreed to teach you in the first place."
"You might as well just buy a new one; it'll be easier. Your sweetheart will understand your feelings just the same way."
She had never taught such a bad student before.
"I... I didn't make this for the person I love."
After spending some time with the old woman, her fear of the tailor shop and the old woman completely disappeared.
It even felt more welcoming.
He answered the old woman's questions like a primary school student who had done something wrong.
"I've lived to a ripe old age, and I still have that much sense."
"This is a men's shirt, not made for your sweetheart. Is it really necessary to go to such lengths?"
Jian Ruoxi couldn't answer.
How was she supposed to explain this to the old woman? She couldn't very well say that she made it for her ex-husband.
If this were said out loud, who would believe it?
"We're not in that kind of relationship yet."
That was all she could say vaguely.
The old woman instantly understood, "So they're not together yet."
"That's simple, just give him this shirt, that'll be enough to move him."
"How many men actually receive clothes made by hand from a girl?"
Jian Ruoxi held the freshly made shirt, a look of hesitation on her face.
He had worked hard to make the clothes, but now she was a little afraid to give them away.
The old woman looked at Jian Ruoxi in front of her and saw her younger self in her.
"Little girl, do you know why I'm the best tailor here?"
Jian Ruoxi shook her head; she had only heard the head maid briefly mention it.
While everyone else wore ready-made clothes, the old woman insisted on making her own.
He's been doing this for fifty years.
"Back then, the first piece of clothing I made was for my old man, even though it was the worst piece of clothing I ever made."
"It's not as good as what you made today, but just seeing the old man wearing it is enough for me to cherish for a lifetime."
"I believe he will be happy if you give him this gift in person."
