Mrs. Chen's eyes widened in disbelief and she stared at Su Manhan for a long time.
"Didn't you think Qiao Jing was bad before? You were eager for her to leave the Zhan family, so why did you suddenly speak for her?"
Is this really the Su Manhan she knows? The contrast is so big, maybe she was taken away from her, right?
Su Manhan choked at Mrs. Chen's words and immediately began to explain herself.
"When did I say that Qiao Jing was not good? Are you deaf? Don't talk nonsense. I love my daughter-in-law the most."
After saying this, she secretly glanced at Qiao Jing and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he still looked calm.
This Mrs. Chen really doesn't know how to speak based on the situation. That all happened before. What if Qiao Jing gets angry now that she says it?
Qiao Jing didn't think it was a big deal. She was also aware of Su Manhan's attitude towards her before.
Mrs. Chen's mouth opened wide in shock.
"ah?"
She was so dizzy at Su Manhan's change of attitude. Could it be that she had heard it wrong?
It's impossible. Su Manhan often complained to her about Qiao Jing when they were shopping together. Why is it like this now?
Su Manhan did not continue chatting with Mrs. Chen, for fear that the other party would say something else, so she gave Mrs. Chen a portion of the medicinal materials.
"Let's go. Don't speak ill of my daughter-in-law in the future."
If she stays any longer, Mrs. Chen will definitely continue to make trouble for her, and she can't hold her son back now.
Qiao Jing didn't say anything else and followed Su Manhan on the car back to Ziyuan.
After arriving at the car, there was an eerie silence inside the car.
Su Manhan glanced at Qiao Jing furtively several times, hesitated, and then spoke.
"Qiao Jing, don't take it to heart what Mrs. Chen said just now. It's not a big deal if you can't go to the exchange meeting. I won't let others bully you."
She paused and grabbed the bag in her hand nervously. Her daughter-in-law was so smart, and coupled with her previous attitude towards Qiao Jing, Qiao Jing must have known that she had said bad things.
Su Manhan gritted her teeth, braced herself, and spoke hesitantly.
"She said... I did say bad things about you before... uh... I said it more or less. I apologize to you. Don't be angry. And don't take it back to Qi because of me.
A great opportunity."
Qiao Jin shook his head and looked sideways at Su Manhan with a very serious expression.
"No need to apologize, it's okay. I won't let others affect my decision."
She didn't know why everyone thought that what she said about giving Zhan Qi Pei a chance was something she said without careful thought.
How does she look like the kind of person who can make decisions casually?
After hearing Qiao Jing's words, Su Manhan showed a happy look on her face, and she reached out and patted her chest.
"That's good, that's good! I was scared to death. I thought... forget it, let's not talk about it. Let's go home for dinner tonight."
Qiao Jing glanced at the current time, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon.
"It's still early for dinner."
If she went to Ziyuan now, there would be nothing for her to do, and she didn't bring any medical books with her. It would be a bit boring to sit there.
Su Manhan said "Huh?" in confusion and suddenly reacted.
If she just brought Qiao Jing back to Ziyuan, there would be no one else at home.
Qiao Jing sat on the sofa alone and waited for the time to pass, which seemed really boring.
She looked out the window and found that she was near Vientiane City, so she asked the driver to pull over and stop the car.
"Stop at the gate of Vientiane City."
I can just take advantage of this time to buy new clothes for Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing looked at Su Manhan with some confusion.
"What are you going to Vientiane City for?"
She mentioned that it was very early and just wanted her to go back and work for a while. Unexpectedly, Su Manhan brought her to Vientiane City.
Su Manhan left all the shopping bags in the car, worried that Qiao Jing would not get out of the car, so she pushed her gently and urged her.
"Get off the car first and then talk."
She must dress up her daughter-in-law well. Wearing a white shirt and jeans all day is too monotonous.
Those rich girls have it, and her daughter-in-law can’t miss it either!
Qiao Jing had no choice but to get out of the car and stand in front of the bustling Vientiane City gate.
"Do you want to buy something?"
At most, she only went shopping with Xiangxiang or Ni Yue. She had never gone shopping with her elders, so she was inevitably a little uncomfortable.
Su Manhan's eyes were a little averted, and she hesitated for a while before speaking.
"Yes, I want to buy a few sets of clothes. Didn't you say it's still early? I brought you here to pass the time."
According to Qiao Jing's character, if she directly said that she wanted to buy clothes for her, she would definitely not agree.
So Su Manhan planned to keep it a secret for now, and then buy Qiao Jing's size directly when she went to the store.
She does all the shopping anyway, and it’s pretty much the same.
Qiao Jing responded and followed Su Manhan to the elevator.
She was thinking about what kind of clothing style would suit Su Manhan, and she could make some suggestions then.
Su Manhan directly pressed the button on the top floor and reached the top floor of Vientiane City.
The ordinary clothes below were not worthy of her daughter-in-law, and since she usually bought clothes on the top floor, Qiao Jing also wanted to enjoy the same treatment as her.
She suddenly remembered that when Qiao Jing was in the countryside before, she might have to wear a top over and over for several years, and she felt very distressed.
There are probably many children like Qiao Jin in the mountain village. She will donate more money to the children in the mountain village and do some charity in the future to prevent more children from living such a miserable life.
As for Qiao Jing's previous donation to the Red Cross Society, although the old man did not admit it, she knew that it was either the money given by the old man or her son.
Qiao Jing found out that Su Manhan was using it, and looked at her with distressed eyes mixed with pity.
She frowned, lowered her head and looked at herself, then turned around and looked again, but found nothing unusual.
Then why did Su Manhan look at her like this?
Su Manhan took Qiao Jing and went directly to a well-known brand clothing store.
The clothes here basically start with a six-digit figure, and they are only the upper-class figures in the ladies' circle who come to spend their money.
When the shopping guide saw Su Manhan, he immediately put on a very considerate smile, bowed slightly to the two of them, and made a gesture of invitation inside.
"Mrs. Su, you are here. Do you need to take a rest and have some afternoon tea first?"
Su Manhan shook her head and glanced at Qiao Jing beside her.
"Take me to see some clothes that suit her."
When Qiao Jing heard that he wanted to buy clothes for himself, he frowned and immediately refused.
"No need to buy them for me, I have clothes."
The clothes she wears are actually made by Millet from country M, specially customized for her, and some of them were designed for her privately by Ni Yue. They are the only ones in the world.
At that time, she specifically proposed a simple and elegant style, just to make it less conspicuous and to get used to it.
The clothes in this store are all very recognizable and the style is luxurious. She doesn't like to be so high-profile.
Besides, there was no way she would let Su Manhan buy clothes for her.
