After the start of the school year, time flew by, and soon it was the end of the month. Miao Tianxiang hired the best ballroom dance teacher. Although the time was short, Ye Qingqing was alright in all aspects except for academics. Moreover, she had some basic knowledge from her previous life, so learning was quite easy. In short, she was able to dance a few songs in a decent manner.
They danced tango, rumba, cha-cha, waltz, and other dances quite well. Moreover, all the male guests who could participate in Miao Tianxiang's ballroom dance party were dance masters. The sons and daughters of wealthy families had to learn ballroom dancing from a young age, as it was part of their daily curriculum.
With a male dance partner who is a master dancer, Ye Qingqing can get away with not being very skilled.
The dress was a gift from Miao Tianxiang. It was exclusively designed by a world-renowned designer and then handmade, taking a month to complete. The price of the dress alone was equivalent to several decades' worth of living expenses for an average family.
Miao Tianxiang certainly wouldn't tell Ye Qingqing these things. To her, hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars were just like a few dollars to a poor person. Moreover, she had recently taken over Yuwen Hua's company, splitting it 50/50 with Zhuang Shicheng and making a fortune. This amount of money was just a drop in the ocean for her.
Miao Tianxiang originally wanted to prepare jewelry, but Ye Qingqing refused, saying that she had already prepared it and that Miao Tianxiang would definitely be generous, spending hundreds of thousands would be nothing to her, and she couldn't afford it.
Moreover, the old lady was already preparing jewelry. She took out her old jewelry, all of which were valuable gems, such as emeralds, jade, pearls, and diamonds. The quality was absolutely top-notch, and it would be difficult to see such good gems on the market anymore, but the style of the jewelry was outdated.
So the old lady wanted to remove these gemstones and have them redesigned in a more fashionable style, but Ye Qingqing refused. She felt it would be a waste to remove them. These pieces of jewelry still look beautiful now, and they were designed by famous designers at the time. She didn't think they were out of style.
"Grandma, take this string of pearls."
Ye Qingqing picked out a string of crystal-clear, lustrous pearls. Each pearl was uniform in size, about the size of a fingertip, and without a single flaw. They were the finest of the pearls, and even after decades, they still radiated a soft luster. They were absolutely beautiful.
Moreover, Ye Qingqing felt that Eastern women have always been considered gentle and elegant, and pearls are one of the most suitable jewelry for Eastern women. Wearing this string of Eastern pearls to the ball would not be too dazzling, but it would not be shabby either; it would be very appropriate.
The old lady placed the pearl around her neck. Her fair skin and the milky white pearl complemented each other perfectly. The old lady nodded in satisfaction, her eyes filled with pride that her daughter had grown up.
“My daughter is so beautiful. This string of pearls is perfect. We still need to pick out earrings and hairpins, so let’s just use pearls for everything. I remember having a set.”
The old lady searched through the jewelry box for a while and quickly found earrings, hairpins, and a bracelet, all made of pearls from the East. The two pearls on the earrings, in particular, were only slightly smaller than pigeon eggs and were in better condition.
As expected, clothes make the man, and jewelry enhances a woman's beauty. After wearing these treasures, Ye Qingqing looked in the mirror and felt even more beautiful, radiating jewels, and couldn't take her eyes off them.
"It looks beautiful. My Qingqing will definitely be the princess at the ball." Sun Qiuyun clapped her hands in praise.
"Absolutely! Every girl from the Sheng family is beautiful. My mother and Nianci's mother were both famous beauties in Pingjiang back then!"
When the old lady recalled the past, she smiled and then sighed. The Sheng family was once a large family, but when war broke out, the whole family was torn apart. She didn't know where the others went. Alas!
