With just one glance, she had found her target.
"Madam, please take a look at this watch. It's a rare item. It would be perfect for our eldest daughter as a dowry."
The salesman was desperately trying to sell his diamond-studded watch when Lin Chunhuan walked over and sneered from the side, "How dare you show this fake parallel import in front of people?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, little girl!" The salesman's face flushed with anxiety, and he glared at Lin Chunhuan fiercely, "Mrs. Jiao, don't listen to the nonsense of children. How dare I give you parallel imports!"
"You know me well. If it's not the best, I wouldn't dare show it to you."
It's actually a stretch to call that watch a parallel import. It just imitates the shape and style of a foreign brand. This kind of thing is very popular in China now.
Naturally, one could tell what kind of vision Mrs. Jiao had.
Hearing the salesman's words, he laughed and turned to look at Lin Chunhuan with interest, "Little girl, have you been abroad?"
Although the Lin family is a wealthy family, Lin Chunhuan has been abroad in recent years. Although people outside know that the Lin family has a third daughter, few people have seen her, and Mrs. Jiao naturally doesn't know her either.
"I've been here for a few years." Although the clothes she wore were not fancy, Mrs. Jiao admired Lin Chunhuan's elegance and grace, and she immediately thought of her daughter who was about to get married.
I couldn't help but sigh.
The Jiao couple had only one daughter, but the girl had been weak since childhood. If it weren't for the Jiao family's extraordinary financial support, she probably wouldn't have lived to this day.
Originally, the Jiao couple had already made plans to recruit a son-in-law, but who would have thought that the Chu family would suddenly propose a marriage.
That's the Chu family. Even if the Jiao family is rich and powerful, they can never defeat the warlords. No matter how much they love their daughter, they can't take risks with the thousands of workers under the Jiao family.
From the time the marriage was finalized until today, Mrs. Jiao hasn't had a good night's sleep. "I also have a daughter, about the same age as you."
"She has always wanted to go abroad, but unfortunately... her health is not good."
Mrs. Jiao didn't think that Lin Chunhuan in front of her would recognize her. After all, she came alone and didn't even bring a servant with her, so she spoke casually.
"I just heard that sister talking about dowry. Is the Madam's daughter getting married?"
Lin Chun smiled brightly and behaved in a measured manner. From time to time, he would look down at the watch on the counter and frown in embarrassment.
Mrs. Jiao didn't want to talk about her daughter's marriage at all. At the same time, she also noticed Lin Chunhuan's embarrassment, "Miss, are you going to buy a watch?"
“This stuff isn’t cheap!”
Lin Chunhuan smiled and nodded, "It's not cheap, but my sister..."
After several exchanges of words, Lin Chunhuan pretended to be being tricked and told the whole story of his family situation without any ulterior motives, including the two sisters' falling into poverty.
There is also a seriously ill sister at home.
My sister won't live long, and her only wish is to have a watch of her own.
But as the younger sister, after paying for her sister's medical expenses and the family's living expenses with the money she earned as a translator, she had no ability to afford an expensive watch.
"Where does this little girl work as a translator? She's so talented at such a young age!"
Lin Chunhuan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Newspaper office."
It seemed like a chance encounter, and after chatting for a while with like-minded people, Lin Chunhuan did not ask for any tasks, nor did he make any extraordinary moves. He took a reluctant look at the watches on the counter and left.
She definitely couldn't go back to the Lin family, so she rented a room on the second floor of a hotel using her foreign name. Before going back, she went to the pharmacy to buy some medicine.
Some old doors creaked as they were pushed open.
"Third Miss..."
A weak female voice came from the bed. Seeing this, Lin Chunhuan quickly put down the medicine in his hand and went forward to help the person lie down again, "Sister Taozi, why are you up!"
"Hurry up and lie down. I bought some medicine. Take it and get some sleep. Don't worry, we will definitely get better."
Taozi opened her mouth, but in the end said nothing and lay back on the bed.
She was originally just a servant of the Lin family. Although she fell ill at a young age, the masters of the Lin family were kind-hearted. Not only did they not drive her away, they also paid for her medical treatment.
On the day the incident happened, Taozi had just gone to the hospital to get medicine and was walking back. Before she even entered the door, she noticed what had happened to the Lin family. She simply turned around and ran, wanting to inform the eldest daughter who was already married.
But all they saw was the young lady’s body being carried out of the door!
Taozi didn't dare to cry, didn't dare to make a fuss, and didn't dare to go back to the Lin family. She secretly followed the people who dumped the body, and only dared to come out after everyone had left. She burst into tears to the most gentle and dignified eldest lady.
"Miss Third, I couldn't help the Lin family. I..."
"Don't say that." Lin Chunhuan spoke softly as she deftly boiled the medicine. Over the past three months, she had become incredibly skilled at this task. "You collected my eldest sister's body and prevented her from being left exposed in the wilderness. You are our Lin family's benefactor."
Taozi opened her mouth but no words came out.
But she knew in her heart that compared to the insignificant things she had done, the great kindness the Lin family had shown her was something she could never repay in her lifetime!
This small room was a bit cramped for two people. After eating something casually, Lin Chunhuan sat by the bed and read to Taozi until the daylight faded and the peace was broken by a knock on the door.
Lin Chunhuan was not surprised. He just stopped reading and looked up at Taozi.
Seeing Taozi nod, he stood up and looked after the door.
"Aren't you... the lady from the day? How come you..."
Lin Chunhuan's face was filled with bewilderment, but Mrs. Jiao smiled kindly, "Miss Julia, won't you invite me in for a seat?"
A few hours after leaving the department store, Mrs. Jiao had someone verify Lin Chunhuan's identity. The more she inquired, the more satisfied she became.
"Miss Julia, I'm a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush with you."
After entering the room, Mrs. Jiao nodded to Taozi who was lying on the bed, and then she spoke directly, "I came to you because I want to hire you as a tutor for my daughter."
"Don't worry, the compensation I give you will only be higher, not lower. If you are not satisfied, we can discuss it again."
Lin Chunhuan pretended to be surprised, opened his mouth slightly, looked at Taozi lying on the bed, then turned his gaze back to Mrs. Jiao, "Tutor, me?"
"certainly!"
Mrs. Jiao took two steps forward and took her hand. "Actually, I don't need you to teach me anything. You and my daughter are about the same age, and you've been abroad before. I just need you to accompany her and tell her about your experiences abroad. That'll make her happy, and that's all!"
Mrs. Jiao also has good intentions.
She knew that the Chu family was wealthy and powerful, and she also knew all the rumors about Chu Xi and Chu Shaoting. She was afraid that her daughter would be wronged if she married into the family.
Even if she wanted to, she couldn't control much!
