Qiao Zhen told herself that the mission target was her bread and butter, and those pretty clothes on the ground were just fluff. Besides, Lin Zhao was clearly trying to provoke her; was she so easily fooled?
That's her! A million curses were running through her mind.
Qiao Zhen looked at the reckless child in front of her with a forced smile. "Little Lin Zhao, Grandma knows you want to provoke Grandma so that Grandma will kick you out. But Grandma has to tell you, that's impossible. And there's a traditional virtue you may not have heard of—respecting the elderly and caring for the young. Only by respecting the elderly can Grandma care for the young. So please be a good girl from now on, okay?"
Lin Zhao removed his feet from his clothes. He understood everything; the pretty young woman in front of him was saying that if he behaved, she would treat him well. He was conflicted—should he trust her?
Qiao Zhen saw Lin Zhao move his dark foot away and silently breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she used her finger-flicking skill to swat away the hamster that was clinging to her. She carried Lin Zhao back to bed and looked into his eyes solemnly, saying, "I, Qiao Zhen, may bully heaven and earth, but I will never bully a child."
This is a promise, valid until Lin Zhao comes of age.
It's unclear whether Lin Zhao believed her or not. After a few days of peace, he turned Qiao Zhen's courtyard upside down after he recovered.
General Qiao had heard a little about this matter and was afraid that his daughter would cruelly kill Lin Zhao. He even took the time to ask her a few questions. Only after hearing Qiao Zhen's calm answer did he feel relieved enough to go out and handle his business.
After being bothered by Lin Zhao a few times, Qiao Zhen realized that the child wasn't as troublesome as she seemed. For example, after Qiao Zhen took her afternoon nap or went to bed at night, Lin Zhao would quietly quiet down and never disturb her. Qiao Zhen was very gratified; her young student already had some redeeming qualities, and it was all thanks to her!
That day, Qiao Zhen was reading a very profound book from Y country, while Lin Zhao, as always, was bouncing around everywhere. Qiao Zhen was initially calm, but before she knew it, her gaze was drawn to Lin Zhao. Looking at Lin Zhao's mismatched clothes, she decided to take him out to buy some clothes.
"Lin Zhao, come on, I'll take you to buy clothes." Qiao Zhen acted immediately. She got up and called the maid to help Lin Zhao change her clothes, and then she went into the bedroom to change into a cheongsam and a fur coat. Even if it was freezing cold, she was determined to be a woman who sacrificed the warmth of her legs for beauty.
Lin Zhao looked at Qiao Zhen's legs shivering in the cold wind and said disdainfully, "Although Grandma didn't wear pants to look good, she's still just as ugly as before. Isn't this what adults mean by 'losing both the wife and the army'?"
Qiao Zhen felt as if her heart had been shot many times, it was incredibly painful! But she was the kind of person who was willing to suffer for the sake of saving face, so she smiled slightly, "Are you cold? I actually feel a little hot."
Afraid that Lin Zhao would say something else, she immediately shoved him into the old car, saying, "Alright, don't say anything, let's go."
Qiao Zhen led Lin Zhao into a clothing store that sold suits. Although Lin Zhao was small, he was a real little cutie, and Qiao Zhen looked at his innocent face with a burning desire. "Do you have any suits for him?"
The shop assistant could tell from Qiao Zhen's clothes that she was from a wealthy and noble family, so she went up to her and replied, "Yes, yes, what kind of fabric and color do you want?"
How would Qiao Zhen know about fabrics and colors? Every world has its strange names, but fortunately, Commander Qiao always spent lavishly on his daughter, so Qiao Zhen was happy to be a fool with plenty of money. "Get the best fabric, and whatever color looks good on him, get that color too."
"You could try a white shirt and overalls on your younger brother; it's a very popular combination right now." This was a suggestion from a beautiful lady in a dress. Realizing she had been a bit abrupt, she added, "My surname is Tang, Tang Rui, and I'm a fashion designer. I always feel compelled to offer my advice, and I'm truly sorry if it has caused you any trouble."
The shop assistant brought over shirts and overalls, and Qiao Zhen held them up against Lin Zhao one by one, feeling that each one suited Lin Zhao perfectly. "Then let's wrap them all up. Thank you very much for this lady's suggestion."
Every woman has a natural inclination to shop, and Qiao Zhen was no exception. She thought Lin Zhao would look like an adorable little boy in those clothes. She then looked seriously at Tang Rui and extended her hand, "Hello, my name is Qiao Zhen."
Tang Rui extended her hand politely to shake hands with Qiao Zhen, then withdrew it, saying, "Hello."
Qiao Zhen looked at Tang Rui's outstretched hand. There was a black mole on the back of her hand, which made the skin on her hand look very fair.
Qiao Zhen opened a telepathic communication channel: 【Chu Chu, calling Chu Chu! See if there's anyone in this mission with a black mole on the back of their hand.】
【You trash Zhenzhen! You left me in the car! Waaah! Waaah! Waaah!】
Qiao Zhen had already pictured the little hamster bristling and darting around, and couldn't help but chuckle to herself. [Go find it quickly, you'll get a reward tonight, be a good boy/girl~]
She subtly averted her gaze and humbly asked for advice: "Ms. Tang, could you perhaps offer some suggestions on clothing? I've just returned to China and am quite ignorant about local fashion."
Tang Rui smiled and said, "I can see that. A fur coat paired with a cheongsam is an irreplaceable trend, but Miss Qiao is still very young, isn't she? You could try a women's suit with a ruched skirt, and you could also wear white stockings with lace trim."
Qiao Zhen didn't care much about Tang Rui's answer. She had done countless missions and had a basic understanding of various industries and dynasties. As long as she could extract some information from her memory bank, she could easily achieve supreme glory in the design industry of this mission world.
