Chapter 334 Are you looking down on me if you don’t want to?
When their family's business improved and their income became more and more impressive, and they even moved to the capital, Minghai unexpectedly passed away at this time.
Lin Manru, a widowed mother, raised two children, and the criticism and grievances she suffered during the process are unspeakable.
But she never complained from the beginning to the end, and the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family who had worked diligently for decades did not remarry.
It’s not easy to do this job, what else could he ask for?
The old man snorted and stood up from the sofa, "Okay, you can do whatever you want? I can't control an old man at my age. Don't come crying in front of me when the time comes and you lose both your people and money."
, it will be easy for you at that time!"
After saying that, he left on crutches.
Lin Manru, who knew Jiang Zhaoyuan's temper well, knew that his willingness to say this was already a sign of regression, so she stood up with relief and clapped her hands.
"Great, now even the last obstacle is gone."
Jiang Li walked over and looked at his mother with some relief.
"Congratulations to your mother."
Even she didn't expect Lin Manru to say such words.
She was already prepared to fight for her in front of her grandfather, but unexpectedly, Lin Manru took the initiative to speak out.
This is completely different from the mother in her impression.
In the book, her mother Lin Manru has always been portrayed as a timid and weak housewife with no independent opinion. She always asks the old man first about everything, wandering around in front of two generations like a mindless puppet.
This is why she encouraged her mother to start her own fashion design studio.
She wants her to be a strong, independent, self-centered woman, not someone's daughter-in-law, someone's wife, someone's mother, just herself.
Having solved a big problem in their hearts, the two of them happily took the car to the shopping mall.
Lin Manru took her to a trade store that specializes in selling various luxury brands. This is one of the favorite places for wealthy wives from all over the capital.
Lin Manru is very familiar with this place.
After all, when she was a housewife, she had nothing to do. She could only play mahjong with her wives and sisters and go shopping in the mall.
But when I came again, my mood was completely different.
Lin Manru pointed to a store not far away and said to Jiang Li: "This is the fabric newly launched by the xx brand this year. It is three-dimensional and stiff, and is very suitable for making clothes with a sense of design."
"That jewelry is the new model of XX this summer. Their brand has changed its design concept in the past two years and gradually relies on this. You see, all the products on the market this year are of this type."
"Look at that one again. This is the flagship model of the XX family in the past two years. But for these pieces this summer, the fabrics are all good, but the tailoring is a bit out of step, and the color is too heavy, which is a bit conflicting.
, it would be perfect if it were softer."
"."
Jiang Li was filled with joy as he listened to the professional terms that kept coming out of his mother's mouth.
It seems that her mother has really done a lot of homework recently. Coupled with the many years of experience in the ladies' circle, she is very easy to analyze the design products of major brands.
After a while, their hands were filled with various shopping bags. Lin Manru handed all these things to the housekeeper and asked him to take them to the car first, and then took Jiang Li's hand. p>
"Let's go to the eighth floor and have a look. There is a brand there that I like very much. It designs traditional clothing. I heard that they even have a private show here. Since we are here today, we will go and see it.
Let’s see.”
"Okay, Mom, I'll go with you." Jiang Li said and took Lin Manru's hand.
The two took the elevator to the eighth floor together.
——Hua Xiu’s shop is just around the corner from the elevator.
The decoration is very grand, all in classical style, every brick and tile is full of charm, not to mention the Chinese flower arrangements placed at the door.
Before Jiang Li entered the store, he had already seen the dazzling array of designs displayed at the entrance of the store. They were indeed very novel and charming. No wonder Lin Manru liked them.
The counter girl wearing a green cheongsam saw the two of them coming this way and greeted them with a smile.
"What would you like to see, madam and young lady? Please come inside." With that, Lin Manru was guided to this year's new summer section.
"These are our main styles this year. They are all made of cloud yarn and brocade. They are very light and thin when worn on the body. They are not burdensome at all and are also very cool."
Lin Manru touched the fabric, then turned back to Jiang Li and tapped her chin, "It's indeed very different."
The counter sister smiled and said: "If you don't like it, madam, there are new autumn styles that will be released over there, so you can go and take a look."
"Do you have any dresses in your store?"
"Yes." The counter sister said, "The ones displayed at the back are some of our classic dress styles."
"What about this year's new models?"
"This year's new models are all in the private exhibition area. If my wife wants to see them, I can apply for them for you."
"Please help me apply."
Huaxiu’s classic models are already everywhere on the street. If you really want to learn something, you have to watch the new models they launch.
The counter sister nodded, and then quickly led the two of them to the rest area, while she operated on the computer.
A few minutes later, she came over with an apologetic look on her face, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Jiang, today's private show has been reserved in advance. I'm afraid the next one will have to wait until next month. Do you want me to make an appointment for you?"
What?"
"Ah? Next month?" Lin Manru was suddenly disappointed.
She also wants to design Jiang Li's dress style as soon as possible this month.
"Hey, Mrs. Jiang? Why do you have time to come to Hua Xiu to look at clothes today?"
Before Lin Manru finished speaking, a female voice sounded from behind her.
She quickly turned around and looked around, her face changed slightly, and then she put on a social smile.
"It's you, Mrs. Li, what a coincidence."
Jiang Li also turned around following the voice.
Walking towards them was a plump and beautiful woman, resplendent with jewels, and wearing classic clothes of a certain brand. At first glance, she looked like the wife of a wealthy family.
Next to her stood a tall, fair-skinned and beautiful young woman, holding her hand at the moment with an attentive and ingratiating smile on her face.
"Mom, didn't you say you made a reservation for Hua Xiu's private show? I'm not in a hurry to go see it. I heard that this year's dress was designed by Master Liu himself!"
"Okay, Mom will take you to see it now, don't worry." She said and looked at Lin Manru again, "Why, Mrs. Jiang also wants to see the show? Then I happened to have an appointment with a few sisters, and you won't miss one.
Let’s come and see it too.”
"No, I'll leave if I have something to do later. You guys go and see it first. I can wait for the schedule next month."
"Oh, Mrs. Jiang." Mrs. Li looked her up and down, "Don't be embarrassed in front of us. I just heard it. Don't you really want to watch today's show? We just happened to be together. Why, you
