"It’s okay." Tang ngying smiled. "I like to prepare gifts for auntie. Please have a look."
Mrs. Li did not hesitate and unboxed the carefully wrapped package before she saw a gorgeous green qipao dress.
Everyone looked amazed by the garnt.
"So pretty!"
"Is that embroidery? So beautiful!"
Mrs. Li had a huge smile on her face, feeling extrely proud when hearing the complints.
Mrs. Tang took the opportunity to approach her and said, "My ngying is the best dressmaker. Look at the detailed work. It took her a long ti to finish making it."
This remark caused even more shock among the ladies. Everyone looked surprised.
"Tang ngying made it herself?"
"Impressive! Such a great girl!"
"With such skills and looks, ngying, co be my daughter-in-law."
Tang ngying smiled elegantly, like a true lady. She nodded to all the complints without acting awkwardly.
Mrs. Li sighed inwardly. What bad luck! If Tang ngying were her daughter-in-law, that would be amazing. How co it turned out to be such a woman! Thinking that, she looked at Su Qianci resentfully, her smile disappearing.
Su Qianci knew clearly what Mrs. Li was thinking. Everything happening under her eyes had happened in her previous lifeti. Everyone had been praising Tang ngying, and Su Qianci had beco her stepping stone. However, at this mont...
"Su Qianci, what gift did you prepare for auntie?" Tang ngying successfully moved the focus back onto Su Qianci. She smiled happily and kindly.
Ha, indeed. Such an act was the evidence of kindness to make Su Qianci feel less awkward in other people’s eyes.
However, Su Qianci knew that Tang ngying only wanted for her to make a fool of herself! In her previous lifeti, Su Qianci could only smile awkwardly when Tang ngying had showed her kindness. Because her gift was so luxury product the Su family prepared for her. It was expensive but not thoughtful at all compared with the qipao "handmade"by Tang ngying.
In her previous lifeti, when she had showed her gift in front of everyone, Mrs. Tang had comnted, "so unthoughtful, and you are the daughter-in-law." After that, she had beco the abomination. Everyone had started to praise Tang ngying, and Mrs. Li had been even more upset about this daughter-in-law that she had never liked. She had wished that her son could divorce this woman imdiately and marry Tang ngying instead.
In the end, Tang ngying said sothing to alleviate the awkwardness.
Sadly, the previous Su Qianci was so innocent that she had no idea she was set up. Instead, she was even grateful to Tang ngying. In her previous life, she had always been positive and kind, unwilling to assu the worst in people. However, she had no idea that it was this mindset that caused such tragedy.
In this lifeti, she would not make the sa mistake.
With a smile, Su Qianci did not imdiately reply to Tang ngying. Instead, she looked at the green qipao Mrs. Li was holding. Seemingly surprised, she asked, "Tang ngying, did you study at Old Kingstown Qipao?"
Tang ngying did not expect Su Qianci to suddenly change the subject and was surprised by her question. On the other hand, Mrs. Tang was less polite than her daughter. She sneered and said, "You think my ngying has the sa amount of leisure as you do? She went to Australia to study abroad and only graduated and returned a few days ago."
