Chapter 334: Chapter 334: Do you not want to because you look down on me?

When their family business started to improve, their income became more considerable, and they even moved to the Capital, Minghai unexpectedly passed away.

Lin Manru, a widow, raised two children on her own, facing indescribable criticisms and grievances along the way.

But from beginning to end, she never complained and worked diligently as the Jiang Family’s daughter-in-law for decades without remarrying.

Having done so much was already not easy, what more could he ask of her?

The old man snorted and rose from the sofa, "Fine then, do whatever you want. I’m an old man, I can’t manage it anymore; just don’t come crying to me when you’ve lost everything. You’ll have a tough time then!"

After saying this, he left with the help of his cane.

Knowing Jiang Zhao Yuan’s temperament well, Lin Manru felt a weight lift off her shoulders with his consent and stood up, clapping her hands.

"Great, now even the last obstacle is gone."

Jiang Li walked over, looking at his mother with some relief.

"Congratulations, Mom."

Even she didn’t expect Lin Manru to say something like that.

She had been prepared to argue on her mother’s behalf in front of her grandfather, but Lin Manru took the initiative instead.

This was completely unlike the mother she remembered.

In the book, her mother Lin Manru was portrayed as a timid, weak housewife with no opinions of her own, who would always ask the old man for advice, like a puppet without thoughts, navigating between two generations.

That was why she encouraged her mother to start her own fashion design studio.

She wanted her to become a strong, self-opinionated woman; a woman who focused on herself, not someone’s daughter-in-law, someone’s wife, someone’s mother, but just herself.

Having resolved a big worry in her heart, they joyously took the car to the department store.

Lin Manru took her to a trade center specializing in various luxury brands, one of the favorite haunts for rich wives from all over the Capital.

Lin Manru was already well acquainted with this place.

After all, when she was a housewife with nothing to do, she could only play mahjong and shop with her group of lady friends.

But coming again, her frame of mind had completely changed.

Lin Manru pointed to a store not far away and said to Jiang Li, "This is a fabric newly launched by xx brand this year; it’s structured and stiff, very suitable for clothes with a design sense."

"That jewelry is from xx’s new summer collection this year; their brand has changed its design concept in the last two years, gradually getting popular with that style. Look, all that’s been introduced to the market this year is of this type."

"Take a look at that, it’s xx’s leading product from the last two years. However, the few pieces from this summer, while the fabrics chosen are nice, the cut is a bit behind, and the colors too strong, a bit too jarring. If it were softer, it would be perfect."

"..."

Listening to her mother rattle off professional terminology, Jiang Li felt a swell of pride. freewebnσvel.cѳm

It seemed her mother had really done her homework recently, and with many years of exposure in the circle of wealthy wives, her analysis of major brand designs came effortlessly.

Before long, they were carrying a heap of shopping bags. Lin Manru handed everything over to the butler to take to the car first, then took Jiang Li by the hand.

"Come on, let’s go to the eighth floor. There’s a brand I like there that specializes in traditional attire designs. They’ve even set up a private show space here. Since we’re here today, let’s go have a look."

"Of course, Mom, I’ll go with you," Jiang Li said as she took Lin Manru’s hand.

Both of them took the elevator up to the eighth floor.

——Huaxiu’s boutique was right around the corner from the elevator.

The decor was very grand, all in a classical style, with every brick and tile full of charm, not to mention the Chinese-style floral arrangements placed at the door.

Jiang Li hadn’t even entered when she saw the dazzling array of various designs displayed at the entrance of the store—indeed innovative and charming, no wonder Lin Man Ru liked them.

The saleslady, dressed in an aqua Cheongsam, saw the two walking over and hurriedly greeted them with a smile.

"What would the madam and miss like to see? Please come in," she said, guiding Lin Man Ru toward this year’s new summer collection.

"These are our main styles for this year, made from Cloud Silk—very light and thin when worn, with no burden at all and also very cool."

Lin Man Ru touched the fabric, then turned back and gave Jiang Li a nod, "Indeed, quite different."

The saleslady smiled and said, "If the madam doesn’t like those, we also have the upcoming fall collection over there, you might want to take a look."

"Do you have any gowns in the store?"

"Yes," said the saleslady, "the display back here includes some of our classic gown styles."

"What about this year’s new styles?"

"This year’s new styles are all in the private showing area, if the madam would like to see them, I can apply for you."

"Please apply for me," she said.

Huaxiu’s classic styles were already all over the streets, to really learn something, one must look at their new releases.

The saleslady nodded, then quickly led the two to the rest area before operating the computer for a while.

A few minutes later, she came back with an apologetic face, "I am sorry, Mrs. Jiang, today’s private fashion show has already been booked in advance, and the next one is not until next month. Would you like me to book it for you?"

"Ah? Next month?" Lin Man Ru was instantly disappointed.

She had hoped to quickly finalize Jiang Li’s gown designs this month.

"Eh, Mrs. Jiang? Why do you have time to come to Huaxiu to see clothes today?"

Lin Man Ru hadn’t finished speaking when a female voice sounded from behind her.

She quickly turned around, her expression changed slightly, then she forced a social smile.

"Mrs. Li, what a coincidence."

Jiang Li also turned around following the voice.

Approaching them was a voluptuous, glittering woman, dressed in a classic style from a certain brand, clearly a rich wife.

And beside her stood a tall, fair, and beautiful young woman, who was currently holding her hand with an eager-to-please smile on her face.

"Mom, didn’t you say you booked a private fashion show at Huaxiu? I can’t wait to see it; I’ve heard that this year’s gowns are designed by Master Liu himself!"

"Yes, dear, I’ll take you there right now, don’t rush," as she spoke, she looked toward Lin Man Ru, "How about it, Mrs. Jiang, would you like to see the show? I’ve invited a few sisters, one more won’t matter, come see it with us."

"No need, I have another appointment soon, so I’ll leave first. You go ahead and watch, I can wait until next month’s schedule."

"Oh, Mrs. Jiang," Mrs. Li sized her up with a scrutinizing gaze, "don’t be shy in front of us, I just heard, you really wanted to see today’s show, right? Just come with us, what, are you unwilling because you look down on me?"
