Chapter 709 Mrs. Qiao’s Sister-in-law
Ever since that incident, she had never returned to her parents' home. Her relationship with them was like fire and water. They hadn't had any contact for so many years. She had always believed that her family held a grudge against her...
But if that were true, Sheng Xuemei would not have helped Qiao Qingci.
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Mrs. Qiao said as she stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and put the handbag in her hand.
Sheng Xuemei felt her palms burning. "I've already said this is my duty. I schedule films just to make money!"
"Sister-in-law, we haven't seen each other for so long. It's fate that we meet here. Let's have a meal together!" Mrs. Qiao looked at her sincerely.
Sheng Xuemei frowned and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but looking at the two people's eager eyes, she finally did not say the words.
Mrs. Joe smiled and held her arm as she headed to the restaurant.
In the quiet restaurant, three people sat facing each other.
Sheng Xuemei lowered her head and drank tea.
"Is everything okay at home now?" Mrs. Qiao asked softly.
"...Not as good as before." Sheng Xuemei replied indifferently without hiding anything.
"How could this happen? My brother has always had a good eye for investment."
"The market has changed. Your eldest brother still insists on traditional craftsmanship, but the output is too small and the price is high. Only the rich can afford it, but the rich also pursue big brands. Our sales are declining step by step, and fewer and fewer people are willing to buy. If it weren't for those loyal customers, I'm afraid our family would have gone bankrupt long ago."
Sheng Xuemei scoffed, "I've advised your eldest brother many times, but he's stubborn and insists on having it made by hand. Every needle and every thread must be made by them themselves."
Mrs. Qiao felt particularly distressed when she heard this. She also knew her eldest brother and he was indeed a very stubborn person.
"Can I see my uncle's clothes?" Qiao Qingci suddenly asked.
Sheng Xuemei was a little surprised. "Of course, you can search for Lengcui Pavilion on the Internet."
Qiao Qingci felt that the name was familiar. After searching, he found that this was a brand he had paid attention to before. Their clothes were of very high quality and were made entirely using ancient methods. They once caused a wave among the wealthy circle, but the designs later became more and more ordinary.
Qiao Qingci asked, "Did your uncle design this himself?"
"Of course not. He only knows how to make clothes and doesn't have the talent for design. The company used to have several designers, but as its popularity declined, the designers all went to work for big brands." Sheng Xuemei sighed in her heart.
Qiao Qingci felt it was a great pity.
Although big brands are of high quality, using top-grade fabrics and metals, my uncle's clothes are truly made with traditional Chinese craftsmanship, stitched stitch by stitch. Only clothes like these have real substance and heritage, and are definitely not inferior to those big brands.
"I know a good fashion designer, and her style is very suitable for my uncle's clothes. If necessary, I can ask her to provide design drafts to my uncle's company." Qiao Qingci said.
Sheng Xuemei was a little surprised. "Okay, send me her design and I'll show it to your uncle."
"no problem."
The two added their contact information.
Mrs. Qiao looked at him with a soft gaze, feeling a slight emotion in her heart. Their relationship had been strained for so many years, but she hadn't expected it to change today, all because of Qiao Qingci. Qiao Qingci was truly their family's lucky star.
The meal was quite enjoyable and Sheng Xuemei left after the meal.
Mrs. Qiao was a little reluctant to leave.
"I think President Sheng also has us in his heart." Qiao Qingci said softly.
"Yes, my elder brother and sister-in-law are both good people, but I did something wrong and I am ashamed to face them." Mrs. Qiao sighed.
Qiao Qingci: "Although I don't know what misunderstandings there are between you and my uncle, family love is more important than anything else in the world. You see, after all these years, President Sheng is still helping us silently behind the scenes, which shows that she has us in her heart. Mom, I think they miss you too."
Mrs. Qiao's eyes suddenly turned red.
She has been married for so many years and misses her family very much.
Especially the eldest brother, whose parents passed away early, and it was not easy for him to raise her as both a father and a mother.
"Alas... Qingci, you are right. I can't escape anymore." Mrs. Qiao looked at Qiao Qingci, "Let's go back and take a look together someday when we have time!"
"good."
Night had fallen outside. They returned home. Third Brother had just returned and sat slumped on the sofa, looking exhausted. Qiao Qingci asked, "Third Brother, is being a model so tiring?"
"I've been standing all day without sitting down, and I feel like my waist is about to break. Being an actor is still easy!" said Qiao Yunxi.
"If it really doesn't work, you should stay with Big Brother..."
"No, no, no, I think being a model is better than doing business!"
