Chapter 186: Ruined Good Skin
He is a very down-to-earth person. He never shirks his responsibilities and works diligently.
He was neither humble nor arrogant when meeting people, and spoke politely. It was obvious that he had seen the world and was not the kind of person who relied solely on his looks to make a living.
The most important thing is to be sensible and know what to say and what to do at what time.
She used to like Jiang Yumin very much.
Jiang Yumin is indeed eloquent, lively and cheerful, good at socializing, and can usually make people feel comfortable.
But the most important thing is not because of her outstanding appearance, but because she always behaves in a measured and decent manner in social situations.
Although the Xie family's background is not as strong as the Xiao family's, they do have some roots in Beijing and are a well-known family.
If she really brought home a daughter-in-law from the countryside, who not only dressed plainly and old-fashionedly, but also had no tact and didn't know how to deal with people, her friends who cared about their reputation would probably laugh their heads off.
Even though others may not say anything, they may be laughing at me in their hearts for my poor parenting skills.
But now...
Her thoughts had begun to waver, and she was even leaning towards another direction.
Thinking about Ruan Chuxia now, she is much more suitable in terms of appearance, temperament, words and deeds.
Especially in today's occasion, she can be calm and generous in front of the elders of the Xiao family, do things calmly, and is willing to participate in labor, unlike those who pretend to be weak and only rely on acting coquettishly.
It’s just that the dressing style is a bit simple.
From beginning to end, she wore a low-key and steady outfit with plain colors, simple styles, and almost no embellishment on accessories...
It seems like she lacks the radiance that a woman should have.
Guo Huaqin looked and pondered, her mind already beginning to imagine picking out a few suitable scarves for her, or buying one or two jewelry boxes with a strong sense of design to put them in casually. "Xiao Ruan, if you have nothing to do this afternoon, why not go shopping for some clothes with me?"
She smiled and waved at Ruan Chuxia, her tone gentle and casual.
"That's not necessary..."
Ruan Chuxia was slightly stunned, her fingers unconsciously clenched the corner of her clothes, and her first reaction was to refuse this suggestion.
She had just packed a lot of things and was already feeling a little guilty. It didn't seem right to ask herself to spend money on buying new things.
“Why not?”
Guo Huaqin frowned and said in an unquestionable tone, "We in the Xiao family don't marry to save money!"
This sentence carries a certain majesty and strength, and is obviously irrefutable.
The moment she heard these words, Ruan Chuxia subconsciously turned her gaze to Xiao Zhiyu who was standing beside her.
She remembered that he had mentioned that he had opinions about some of his mother's actions and even had some strong emotions in his heart.
At this moment, she instinctively sought his attitude, hoping to get some psychological support or comfort.
Xiao Zhiyu noticed her concerns, and a hint of understanding and comfort flashed in his eyes.
He knew very well that he had said that he didn't want to make family relationships more strained because of Ruan Chuxia, and he always stuck to this point.
Some things always have to be faced, and avoiding them will only make the problem more complicated.
He truly hoped to face this with her, rather than shut her out of reality.
He smiled at her slowly, his eyes firm and gentle, gently held her hand, and whispered, "Just go."
These words brushed past her heart like a spring breeze, relaxing Ruan Chuxia's tense heart.
She was silent for a few seconds, then finally nodded and whispered, "Okay."
When Guo Huaqin saw Ruan Chuxia nod in agreement, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly. Although her face was still stern, she still muttered, "That's right."
I looked down at the clothes Ruan Chuxia was wearing. It was a simple, well-cut Lenin suit. Although it was clean and neat, it looked a bit old-fashioned and was no longer a popular style.
She felt a little unhappy.
Not to mention those who are not as good as Ruan Chuxia in other aspects, even ordinary women walking on the street know to pay attention to their appearance.
Our family is the Xiao family, a well-known and prestigious family. How can such a beautiful daughter-in-law be allowed to wear such rustic clothes to meet people?
As she thought about it, she felt more and more regretful: This face is obviously so good, but she just doesn't know how to take care of herself. She is really ruining her beautiful appearance!
Although she is a writer, Guo Huaqin is very impatient and cannot hide her thoughts.
She is a woman whose emotions are easily expressed on her face. Once she makes a decision, she can't wait to take action and can't sit still.
As she packed her things, she kept muttering "Hurry up, hurry up", as if even a second of delay would delay something important.
As soon as we made the decision here, we started planning where to go for a walk.
There are so many shopping malls in Beijing that it would probably take more than a day to visit them all.
But when it comes to a wide variety of goods and trendy styles, Friendship Shopping Mall is definitely the first choice.
Because it is a high-end place exclusively for foreign guests, it is filled with all kinds of rare things, many of which are good things that cannot be found on the market.
After the location was decided and the arrangements were made, Guo Huaqin couldn't wait and kept looking at Ruan Chuxia, her eyes full of anticipation and urging. She looked like she couldn't wait to grab everyone and rush out, wishing she could rush to the mall to pick out some clothes that she liked.
When she stretched her neck to peek for the third time, Ruan Chuxia stood up and said to her in a steady tone, "Mom, I'm ready, let's go."
Upon hearing this, Guo Huaqin immediately stood up, almost jumping up, her eyes shining, like a little girl who got candy, and her whole body was full of energy.
She was waiting for this answer!
Just when he was about to take Xiaojun out with him, he was stopped by Old Man Xiao.
The old man sat upright on the sofa, waved his hand gently, and said with a smile: "You guys go and do your work, leave the child at home."
Obviously he had anticipated this situation, as he held his little grandson in his arms, his expression kind yet firm.
How is this possible?
He was reluctant to let Zuzu go, so how could he let the little guy go away alone?
While stroking Xiaojun's little head, Mr. Xiao coaxed the child with a smile, "Be good and stay with grandpa, okay?"
Xiaojun blinked and looked at Guo Huaqin and Ruan Chuxia reluctantly, as if he didn't quite understand why he couldn't go and play together.
There was no choice, Ruan Chuxia could only accompany Guo Huaqin out alone. She looked back at Xiaojun who was still in the old man's arms, sighed softly, turned around and followed Guo Huaqin out of the house.
In the car.
Guo Huaqin extended her hand affectionately and held Ruan Chuxia's soft palm.
With a gentle smile on her face, she said softly, "Xiao Ruan, today Mommy is taking you to a special place. The things there are very exquisite. You will definitely like it!"
Ruan Chuxia looked at the street scenes slowly passing by outside the window, and memories of her previous life involuntarily emerged in her mind.
Although the street looked ordinary, she recognized it immediately.
This is the direction leading to Friendship Shopping Mall.
When she thought of the familiar shopping mall facade and the wide range of high-end goods inside, she couldn't help feeling a little nostalgic.
That was a place she often lingered in her previous life and it was also a part of her life.
