Chapter 441 Choosing Gifts
When it comes to clothes, Su Jiaojiao doesn’t have to go out to buy them at all. The new styles in her own store are already on the market, and she can match them all in her own store.
Although her small orders may seem scattered, they are actually produced as combination sets. Because most girls do not know how to match clothes, the samples of Millennium Caicai and Millennium Fufu are displayed as a set hanging on the wall.
The girls who come to her shop can match the colors and styles of the samples according to their body shape and skin color. This is also the feature of her two stores.
For this purpose, Su Jiaojiao also prepared leather shoes and bags in the store. Even girls who don’t know how to dress will walk out looking glamorous and beautiful as long as they enter her store, without having to go to shoe stores or luggage stores.
All the bags in her store are picked from Li Nuo.
Li Nuo would also help her customize a batch of bags according to her needs. Although they seemed to be not in the same industry, they had actually been cooperating.
Li Nuo would sometimes go to her store to find clothes to wear. She was a very casual person. She would buy whatever she liked and go to other stores if she didn't like it. Sometimes she would show Su Jiaojiao the clothes she bought from other stores and talk shamelessly about why she liked these clothes.
Su Jiaojiao doesn't care about these things. Dressing up is a personal hobby, and she sometimes buys clothes in other people's stores.
As for what Cai Ting said about putting on makeup, forget it.
She is used to going without makeup on weekdays, so it feels weird if she suddenly puts on makeup. It is better to look more natural.
Although Lu Jingyou helped prepare the gift, she couldn't really buy nothing. Since she agreed to go home with him to meet his parents, she had to prepare it carefully. This was also a respect for this relationship.
For this purpose, Su Jiaojiao made an appointment with Yu Tian and went to the China World Trade Center to choose gifts for Lu Jingyou's grandmother and mother.
A coat that costs two hundred yuan is of average quality, but a silk scarf that costs two hundred yuan is a fine product, and a pair of socks that costs two hundred yuan are a luxury item.
Yu Tian had been to the Lu family and met everyone in the Lu family. She sincerely accompanied Su Jiaojiao to visit the China World Trade Center and said something heartbreakingly sincere: "His mother doesn't like you and won't like your gift. His father is carefree and will like anything you give him, so don't worry about them. You only need to think about what gift to give to Lu Jingyou's grandparents. As long as they like it, that's fine."
"Do you have to be so direct?" Su Jiaojiao was heartbroken. Yu Tian chuckled, "Alright, alright, let's stop talking. Let's go to the boutique and have a look. Didn't you say you wanted something more refined?"
Su Jiaojiao had met Grandpa Lu in her previous life and knew that he loved drinking tea. Lu Jingyou said that he had already bought the tea that his grandfather liked to drink, so she picked out a three-legged toad tea pet holding a copper coin in the boutique. The pet was light green in color and small, and it looked very nice on the tea set.
After looking at the appraisal certificate, I found that it is natural A-grade jadeite.
At this time, the price of jadeite was stable and had not yet been hyped up. The price of 380 yuan was also affordable for her.
"Who are you buying the toad for?" Yu Tian looked at the price. It wasn't expensive, but it wasn't cheap either.
"Miss, this is a three-legged golden toad, not a toad." Su Jiaojiao had taken tea art classes after all, so she was familiar with this kind of tea pet ornaments.
This kind of fine glutinous material is actually not expensive at this price. If the color is darker, the price will double.
"Isn't a toad just a frog?" Yu Tian was about to die of laughter.
"Everyone says golden toad, not golden toad." Su Jiaojiao was about to die of laughter. "Please, respect the tea pet culture."
The two chatted and laughed for a while, then continued to look for gifts. There were still many boutiques in Guomao.
Su Jiaojiao picked out a silk scarf with elegant patterns for Mrs. Lu and Lin Manli respectively, and bought a boxwood gourd ornament for Lu Jiahe. Gourd sounds like "fortune and fortune", which has a good meaning.
It cost her more than eight hundred dollars in total.
"These are very good. You put a lot of thought into it." Yu Tian looked at the beautifully wrapped gift box in Su Jiaojiao's hand and couldn't help but mention the gift she bought at the Lu family. "I didn't actually meet the parents that time. I just went with my uncle to celebrate the old couple's birthday. We only brought wine and tea, and didn't buy anything else."
"We don't have much experience, so we'll just do our best." Su Jiaojiao didn't prepare anything else because Lu Jingyou said he had already bought everything.
When Lu Jingyou went to her house, he bought a lot of things, including a set of expensive cosmetics for her mother. It was reasonable for her to prepare well.
"By the way, Lu Jingyou has a sister, Lu Qingqing, who also lives in the old house. You might run into her. Should you prepare one for her as well?"
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten." Su Jiaojiao had seen Lu Qingqing in her previous life, a very quiet girl, but she had never met her. "Then prepare it first. If you meet her, give it to her. If you don't, I'll keep it for myself."
"Yes, let's go take a look up ahead." Yu Tian said, turning her head to see Lin Manli and Lin Manling coming down the stairs. She hurriedly said to Su Jiaojiao, "Look, who is that..."
Seeing that it was Lin Manli and the others, Su Jiaojiao dragged Yu Tian away and said, "Let's not pick anything today. I'll come over and take a look when I have time. Let's go back!"
"Why are you so nervous?" Yu Tian teased her, "You're about to meet the parents, and it's the same even if you meet them now."
Before she finished her words, Su Jiaojiao had already walked away.
"Wait for me." Yu Tian trotted after him.
Lin Manli didn't see Su Jiaojiao and Yu Tian. As they walked, she told her about the New Year's Day meeting: "The old lady insisted that I come over to buy jewelry for Su Jiaojiao as a meeting gift. It was obvious that she wanted me to bow my head first."
"That's impossible. You can't persuade the old lady, and you can't stop Su Jiaojiao. If you don't bow your head, who will?" Lin Manling deliberately sarcastically said, "Now that Su Jiaojiao has opened a new factory, she will pay even less attention to you."
She heard from Wu Jingbo that Su Jiaojiao had opened a new factory and that floral shirts were no longer made in Kyoto. Other styles would also be produced in the new factory in the future.
She also knew that Su Jiaojiao had seconded Ji Hong from Kyoto to help out at the new factory, and she heard that it was a big deal.
"What does her opening of a new factory have to do with me?" Lin Manli was annoyed by Lin Manling's tone of voice. "If you want to go shopping with me, then talk nicely. If not, then go back."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Lin Manling softened her tone and pulled Lin Manling into the gold shop. "Please choose carefully. If the old lady is not satisfied, you will have to make another trip."
"If she's not satisfied, she can come and choose for herself." Because of this incident, Lin Manli has always been dissatisfied with her mother-in-law. "Jiahe and I suggested that a red envelope would be enough, but she insisted on giving a gold necklace and bracelet, making it seem like we were getting married."
Lin Manling twitched the corners of her mouth and said nothing more.
In fact, she thought giving gold as a gift was quite tacky. Although Mrs. Lu was rich, she had very poor taste.
Lin Manli said this, but she still consulted the clerk in detail about what styles of necklaces and bracelets would look good on young girls.
Finally, I bought a new necklace and bracelet based on the recommendation of the clerk. The old lady paid for it anyway.
Lin Manling was shocked when she saw the price. Isn’t a gift of two thousand yuan too luxurious?
Not good looking, and expensive.
Mrs. Lu looked at the necklace and bracelet that Lin Manli bought and was very satisfied: "When the time comes, just say that they were given by you and Jiahe. We have other preparations."
"Mom, this is already a lot." Lin Manli was speechless when she heard that Mrs. Lu wanted to say goodbye. "It's just a meeting. Who knows what will happen in the future!"
Didn’t Yu Tian also come to our house?
In the end, it's still a split...
"Don't worry about it, I will make my own arrangements." Mrs. Lu was not discussing it with her, she just told her.
As New Year's Day got closer, Su Jiaojiao felt relieved.
If the enemy comes, we will fight him with the army; if the water comes, we will block it with the earth. If Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu don't welcome her, then her relationship with Lu Jingyou is basically over.
She couldn't possibly spend too much energy and emotion on this matter.
Dating is a matter between two people, but marriage is a matter between two families.
She would never do anything against her bottom line just to marry Lu Jingyou, nor would she make herself look like a humble little wife just to fit into their family.
Absolutely not!
