Chapter 193: Bringing Light
The salesperson is not Chinese, but he has worked in this foreign company for many years and can speak a little Chinese.
She responded enthusiastically, stumbling over her words: "That's great, beautiful, so beautiful!"
Although her tone sounded a little stiff, the sincerity and admiration in her voice could not be ignored.
At the same time, her eyes were still following the figure of the girl in front of the mirror, and she seemed to be impressed by the combination.
Then, the salesperson took out two pairs of small leather boots of different colors from the display shelf, placed them lightly on the ground, and motioned for Ruan Chuxia to try to match them one by one.
One pair of shoes is traditional black, steady and classic.
The other pair is a more special camel color, which glows with a warm luster under the light, as if it carries a touch of warmth.
Finally, she tried on the camel-colored pair and found that they were a better fit.
Compared to the slightly dull black leather shoes, camel color is not only more novel and unique, but also has a much more eye-catching overall visual effect.
Although the shoemaking technology of this era was far from comparable to that of decades later, the design style was relatively conservative and single, and the styles were far from being as diverse and rich as in the future.
But even so, being able to find a pair of small leather boots that are slightly closer to the current fashion aesthetic is already a very rare choice.
However, for modern people like Ruan Chuxia, this style may still not be considered perfect, and can only be described as "passable". But in the eyes of others, this outfit has long been extremely fashionable, and can even be described as "outrageous".
Especially once the pair of small leather boots are put on, the whole person's temperament is instantly elevated a lot, appearing both youthful and stylish.
After she finished putting on her clothes, she walked over to Guo Huaqin with great joy, gently opened her arms, and spun around playfully like she did when she was a child. She smiled and asked, "Mom, what do you think of this outfit?"
At this moment, Guo Huaqin was almost stunned by what she saw. Her eyes were filled with astonishment, and she nodded repeatedly in praise, "It's beautiful, it's really beautiful!"
As he spoke, he looked at every detail of her body, as if he couldn't see enough, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Generally speaking, women are much more discerning and judgmental about women's beauty than men.
In contrast, when men comment on a woman's clothing, they often focus on whether it is modest and appropriate.
The scrutiny between women is much more detailed and strict.
Because of this, after seeing the scene in front of her, Guo Huaqin made a decision on the spot.
Buy this whole set.
The total price of these three items alone is at least several hundred dollars, which is not a small amount and is enough to make people frown in this era.
Jiang Yumin, who was standing aside and watching silently, had a face that was expressionless and almost twisted with anger.
Although she knew that Guo Huaqin was generous and not very frugal with her money, she had never seen her give her a decent piece of foreign clothing in the years they had been together.
At this moment, seeing Ruan Chuxia easily put on this whole set of Western clothes, he felt unhappy beyond words, but due to the occasion, he couldn't show it, so he could only hold his breath and stare at her coldly from the side.
Now he gave Ruan Chuxia so many pieces of clothes at once, and all the money was spent by her!
Each of these expensive haute couture garments is worth a fortune. Does a girl like Ruan Chuxia who comes from the countryside really know how to wear, match, and even maintain and care for them?
In Jiang Yumin's heart, she always looked down on Ruan Chuxia.
In her eyes, Ruan Chuxia was just a lucky person who became the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family by accident.
The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became, and her heart was filled with disdain and jealousy.
Isn't it just because of good luck that she became Xiao Zhiyu's wife inexplicably?
Hey, wait a minute, the Xiao family's daughter-in-law? She seemed to suddenly remember something important, her eyes moved slightly, and a light bulb went off in her head.
With a turn of his eyes and a slight upward curve of his lips, Jiang Yumin smiled casually and said, with a hint of subtle malice:
"Sister Ruan, you look so beautiful in this white dress. It reminds me of a wedding dress."
She paused deliberately, then added as if something suddenly occurred to her, "By the way, you and Brother Zhiyu haven't had your wedding yet, right?"
This sentence sounded like a casual question of concern, but in fact, Jiang Yumin had already found out all the details in advance.
In the past, when she and Guo Huaqin were best friends, Guo Huaqin once mentioned in a chat that no one on Ruan Chuxia's side had any plans to organize a wedding.
If a formal wedding is not held, then the marriage seems to lack recognition, as if it has never been truly accepted.
What's more, even if they held some small ceremonies privately in Shenzhen, how could it be compared with the decent and grand wedding in Beijing?
"Well, it hasn't been done yet."
Ruan Chuxia spoke in a relaxed tone, even with a nonchalant smile on her face, as she carefully selected clothes from the hangers full of dresses, and responded lightly.
No way?
There is really nothing I can do!
Hearing this, Jiang Yumin was secretly delighted, and the smile on her face concealed her inner pride.
She felt more and more that her idea was correct.
It seems that Xiao Zhiyu doesn't really dote on Ruan Chuxia.
If he really valued her, how could he not even be willing to hold a proper wedding for her?
Just as she was about to strike while the iron was hot and say something, she raised her head and was about to speak.
Ruan Chuxia pointed at a piece of clothing and said to the salesperson, "Please bring that one over for me."
It was a royal blue tweed coat, soft and delicate in texture, exquisitely tailored, and with an excellent luster. It was obviously handmade from high-end fabrics and was very expensive.
Hanging under the lights in the display area, it seems to have its own light.
After Ruan Chuxia got the coat, she immediately turned around and walked into the fitting room, and came out wearing it after a while.
The slim fit highlights her perfect figure, and the color makes her look gentle and generous.
She turned around in front of the mirror, smiled slightly, and then without hesitation called the waiter and said in a firm and straightforward tone, "Please help me pack it up."
Her movements were quick and efficient, and her expression was calm, like a customer who often visited big-brand stores and was used to paying the bill without any hesitation. She did not have the hesitation and awkwardness of a novice who was making a purchase for the first time.
Jiang Yumin stood aside, pursing her lips, frowning slightly, and glared at Ruan Chuxia fiercely, feeling indescribable irritation in her heart.
She really couldn't understand why Ruan Chuxia could be so complacent?
It was clearly the Xiao family's money that was being spent, so how come she had no psychological burden at all and didn't even change her expression.
She quietly turned her gaze to Guo Huaqin, hoping that this seemingly steady elder would see Ruan Chuxia's extravagant behavior and stand up to persuade her, even with just a glance.
