Chapter 7 Father and Son
His ears reddened and he said, "Well, you wait here. I'll go change my clothes." After saying that, he fled up the stairs like an embarrassed child.
Xiang Lianyi secretly smiled behind him.
"Miss Xiang, Madam invites you to the study." Auntie Zhang said with a smile on her face.
"Okay."
Xiang Lianyi was a little apprehensive. In her memories, Mama Xi was a very tough woman who exuded icy attitude. She did not know if she was this scary at this time as well.
In the study, Xu Qing was looking at the clothes in her hands, when she heard footsteps. She looked up and saw Xiang Lianyi. What a beautiful girl! She praised her in her mind.
"Good day, Mrs. Xi."
The clear and crisp voice was comfortable to listen to.
Xu Qing nodded lightly, "Hello. This dress, did your mother make it herself?"
"I helped my mother make it together," Xiang Lianyi said truthfully.
"The look is good, but 100 sets might take too long if you make them by hand."
"Mrs. Xi, if you really want to order them, we definitely won't make them manually so you won't have to wait that long. We will find a factory and ake them as fast as possible. Of course, the quality can be guaranteed." Xiang Lianyi vowed.
Xu Qing laughed. She somehow felt that this child was very much like her when she was young.
"Good idea, but how do you guarantee the quality?"
After thinking for a moment, she said, "Well... I can sign a contract for you. If there is a problem with the quality, you don't have to pay me a penny. On top of that, you'll be compensated as well. What do you think?"
"Good, I'll trust you this once, seeing as you're still young. You can call me Auntie Xu. I can pay a portion of the deposit upfront. So it's settled?"
"Yes, thank you, Auntie Xu." Xiang Lianyi said happily.
She was still worried about finding money for the factory, but now that she had a deposit, it would be much easier!
Xiang Yi Lian returned home with the deposit given by Xu Qing.
"Mom!"
Her voice was light and happy, and Qin Zhu knew just by the sound of it that this order will be theirs.
"It's all set?" She looked at Xiang Lianyi and whispered.
"Yes, Mom! We're going to have money!"
"That's fine and dandy, but we..."
Xiang Yi Lian understood where Qin Zhu's hesitation was, and she said with a smile, "Mother, Madam Xi has given us a deposit. We will use it to find a factory and use it as the down payment. Then we can settle the final payment after things are done."
Xiang Guoping, who had been listening to her on the side, nodded in agreement, "I think what Lianyi said makes sense. We should do it, honey."
In the face of the eager eyes of her husband and daughter, Qin Zhu's heart was also on fire. No one dislikes money. Especially in their family's current situation, if they could really get this money, maybe they'll have to money to cure Old Xiang's eyes.
She smiled and nodded.
"All right."
The three members of the family looked at each other and smiled as if a beautiful life was about to begin.
Xiang Lianyi vowed in her heart that she would not let her family live a miserable life this time around.
But things are often easier said than done.
Just when the Xiang family was about to look for a factory, they fell into a dead-end. They didn't have any contacts. For a moment they didn't know where to look for such a manufacturer.
Xiang Lianyi thought whether they could go to Xu Qing for help.
But she was still a little embarrassed in her heart. She gave them the money to look for a factory. If...
Just when the whole family was thinking hard, Gu Yujiao came again.
She had somehow learned that the Xiang family had accepted the order. She came to their door and said, "Oh, sister, I also said the other day that I wanted to help you, but you said no, but you still accept the order? So you don't need my help with this? Well, I guess that's true. We all know how wealthy the Xi family is. You don't need people like us to help you out with these things!"
Xiang Lianyi turned her back to Gu Yujiao and rolled her eyes. How jealous can someone get? The sour smell of her jealousy could probably be smelled from ten miles away.
"You're overthinking it..."
Before Qin Zhu had even finished his words, noises began to ring out outside the house.
Gu Yujiao was a person who would be there when there was excitement, and when she heard the noise, she went straight out, not caring at all about what Qin Zhu had said.
Xiang Lianyi's eyes rolled and she seemed to know what was going on. She grabbed her mother's hand and heading out as well. "Mom, let's go take a look."
As soon as they reached the door, they heard Gu Yujiao's shrill screams.
"Hey, you, who are you guys? Hurry up and let go of my daughter, or else I'll call the police!"
A few burly men at the entrance of Gu Yujiao's house. They pulled Wu Wenli out, ignoring Gu Yujiao's shouts at all. Instead, a woman on the side wearing expensive clothes spoke up. She was wearing large sunglasses and her red lips spoke extremely cruel words.
"Call the police? Fine, I'd like to see if the police will care about such a little slut or not."
Xiang Lianyi recognized this woman as Zhao Zijian's wife at once. How could she, the daughter of a wealthy family, allow Zhao Zijian to find a mistress behind her back?
The show's about to begin!
Hidden in the shadows, the corners of Xiang Lianyi's lips lifted up in a smile.
Wu Wenli didn't dare to say a word and could only look to Gu Yujiao for help. "Mom, Mom, you have to help me!"
Gu Yujiao was heartbroken and looked at the wealthy woman and said through gritted teeth, "Who the hell are you? What do you mean by that? Hurry up and release my daughter..."
"I'm Zhao Zijian's wife. It's fine if you don't know who I am before, but in the future, you must remember my face well. Never let me see you again, or else..."
The woman took off her glasses, revealing her cold, beautiful face.
