Chapter 187 Acceptance
And now, Guo Huaqin would actually take the initiative to take her to such a shopping mall that meant so much to her.
She knew in her heart that this was not just an ordinary shopping trip, but a formal acceptance of her identity by Guo Huaqin.
That "sense of belonging to family" made her mouth curl up slightly.
While driving, Guo Huaqin gently held Ruan Chuxia's hand and talked to her in a gentle and natural tone.
Perhaps she was too relaxed, or perhaps she had an inexplicable fondness for this "daughter", she kept holding Ruan Chuxia's hand tightly, and her fingertips would stroke the back of her hand from time to time.
The touch of skin was as delicate as fat, and as soft as spring water condensed into jade.
Even Guo Huaqin, who has always been capable and experienced, was moved by this warm feeling, and felt a bit of fondness and reluctance in her heart.
It was not until the car was about to arrive at the entrance of the shopping mall that she realized that she had been holding Ruan Chuxia's hand all the way, and had hardly let go for even a second.
She was startled for a moment, quickly loosened her hand, coughed shyly, and then smiled apologetically and said, "Oh...
Sorry, Ha Xiaoruan, I was a little distracted just now. But let me tell you, how did you keep these hands? They are too slippery, aren't they? The more I touch them, the more I want to touch them.
Ruan Chuxia had heard this question so many times in her previous lives that her ears were callused.
Almost everyone who comes into contact with her skin for the first time will be amazed by the texture and will unconsciously ask for the secret of skin care.
This time is no exception.
She had already prepared an answer, and without hesitation, she made up a reasonable-sounding explanation: "Actually, this is an ancient recipe that has been passed down in the palace...
Mix some natural herbs and apply them on your hands every night. It is said that it can not only beautify your skin but also delay aging."
Her tone was relaxed and natural, even with a hint of mystery.
These words sound hard to tell whether they are true or false, but they are also curious.
Unexpectedly, Guo Huaqin, who was always calm and rational and had seen all kinds of storms, suddenly lit up when she heard her say this. She asked in surprise and interest, "A secret recipe handed down from the palace? Is it true? Are you kidding me?"
It seems that even the most knowledgeable people cannot resist the attraction of new things.
Ruan Chuxia took the opportunity to say that when she got back, she would get her a set of skin care products suitable for her skin type to try.
Guo Huaqin's originally expectant expression became even more obvious after hearing this. Her eyes suddenly lit up again, as if she had really seen those amazing effects.
Before Ruan Chuxia could say anything more, she took the initiative to say, "If it's really good, I'll let my friends try it too."
She said it without hesitation, with a hint of impatience in her tone.
Her idea was not to make all her so-called acquaintances and friends become beautiful, although everyone likes beauty, but her real purpose was to "show off"!
If her daughter-in-law could make high-end skin care products like the royal secret recipe, how glorious it would be for her as a mother-in-law!
Moreover, her enthusiasm in promoting the product was actually paving the way for Ruan Chuxia, making it easier for her to open up the market and build her reputation in the future.
Helping Ruan Chuxia was indirectly helping her son. She was very clear about this little cleverness and truth, and did it without hesitation.
Ruan Chuxia was a woman with a delicate mind and great intelligence. When she heard her mother-in-law's words, she immediately understood the deep meaning.
This hint was both decent and appropriate, and was full of trust and affirmation of her abilities.
She then responded very tactfully, smiling and saying, "Thank you, Mom."
These two words are short, yet full of emotion and reason, and extremely warm.
…
As they were talking, the car finally arrived at the destination.
Guo Huaqin was seen holding Ruan Chuxia's hand with a satisfied smile on her face. The mother and daughter walked happily into the famous Friendship Shopping Mall in Beijing, like real family members.
This shopping mall is located in the most prosperous core area of Beijing and is one of the largest commercial centers in the city.
The mall has seven floors and is like a huge behemoth.
Most of the goods here are imported or high-end, whether they are clothing, home appliances, daily necessities or cosmetics, which were rare in those days.
Therefore, the people who come here to shop are not only Chinese, but also many foreign customers from all over the world.
Among these people, some are foreigners who are studying, working or doing business locally. They often linger here looking for some familiar smells and items.
So these blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners are not uncommon in this bustling building.
But when the two of them entered the mall, these people all looked at them.
Just because Ruan Chuxia, who was walking next to Guo Huaqin, was wearing a traditional Lenin suit.
In the southern coastal city of Shenzhen, this style may be considered trendy, after all, it is greatly influenced by foreign cultures and lifestyles.
But in Beijing, especially in a place as modern as Friendship Shopping Mall, such an outfit seems particularly abrupt and rare.
For a moment, Ruan Chuxia became the focus of everyone's attention.
The looks from the surroundings were a bit more curious and different.
Guo Huaqin's heart suddenly tightened, and she couldn't help but worry about Ruan Chuxia's feelings.
Although she has a straightforward and generous personality, she always feels uncomfortable when being stared at, especially when being stared at by foreigners.
Thinking of this, she immediately turned her head to look at Ruan Chuxia, wanting to confirm whether her reaction was okay.
However, what she didn't expect was that as soon as she looked over, she found Ruan Chuxia looking at her with a smile, her eyes calm and gentle, without any sign of nervousness or embarrassment.
Her smile is sincere and warm.
At this moment, Guo Huaqin's heart suddenly calmed down, and the hanging emotions also subsided.
Seeing her so natural and generous, with proper manners, without any panic or embarrassment, Guo Huaqin felt more and more satisfied.
This girl is really capable. She is calm and confident in the face of any situation, and can remain calm and rational in the face of any emergency.
This is what she thought a daughter-in-law of the Xiao family should be like, neither humble nor arrogant, with grace and propriety.
She still remembered the first time she brought Jiang Yumin here. Although she appeared calm on the surface and tried to hide her nervousness, her facial expression management was not perfect. She could see some stiffness and restraint every time she raised her eyes and lowered her head.
At that time, I thought she was pretty good, a smart and well-educated girl, but now compared to Ruan Chuxia's genuine calmness and grace that came from within, she is indeed a little lacking.
The bustling atmosphere of the shopping mall quickly ignited Ruan Chuxia's deep-seated passion for shopping.
In Shenzhen, even if you have enough financial resources, there are very few styles that you can really like. Either the designs are too ordinary, or the prices are inflated and lack quality.
