Chapter 1814: She Was Really Blessed
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Zhai Yaohui was young, he didn’t accompany Miao Jing to shop. Who knew that when they were old, the couple would shop together to select a gift for their future daughter-in-law?
Miao Jing and Zhai Yaohui weren’t experienced in this area. As such, they could only ask the shopping guide. “May I check what kind of jewelry women like nowadays?”
One look at the two and the shopping guide knew that they were rich. She became more passionate in her service. “Diamonds. Nowadays, they like diamonds. They look pretty. May I check how old the recipient is?”
“Oh, she’s nearing forty. It’s for my daughter-in-law.” In order to choose something that was more appropriate for Qiao Nan, Miao Jing didn’t hesitate to share the details.
The shopping guide’s mouth formed an ‘O’. Wow. A forty-year-old daughter-in-law. Did that mean she was married once or twice before? It wasn’t her first wedding, but the parents-in-law still valued her so much. It was either there was something extraordinary about this woman or this old couple was exceptionally good parents-in-law.
After knowing the age of the recipient, the shopping guide asked carefully, “I’ve been in this industry for quite long. Some people like gold regardless of their age. Does your daughter-in-law show a special interest in gold jewelry?”
Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing looked at each other. They hadn’t met her before. How would they know if Qiao Nan liked gold or not? If they knew her preferences, would they still have to ask the shopping guide what kind of jewelry people liked nowadays?
They had no choice. With Miao Jing urging him, Zhai Yaohui walked to a corner and called Zhai Sheng. “Hello? It’s me.”
“You’re back in Ping Cheng?” Zhai Sheng was a little surprised. He had only made the call yesterday, but they were already in Ping Cheng today. Indeed, they were anxious to get him married. Even after listening to Qiao Nan’s background, they were still so anxious. But Zhai Sheng didn’t feel irritated. He felt that this was just as well. The attention of his parents should help him and Qiao Nan avoid the wrong path.
“Yes. Do you know what your match likes? Does she like gold jewelry?”
“Buying a present for her?” Qiu Chenxi didn’t seem to have such treatment back then.
“Your mom feels that it’s better to be polite. Otherwise, you might be at risk of staying single for life.”
Zhai Sheng’s tone improved a little. “Actually, for things like gifts, it’s the thought that counts, not the value. You can just do as you see fit. She’s not a particular person.” His instinct told him that Qiao Nan wasn’t a superficial person. Attitude was more important than gift.
“Are you sure?” If Miao Miao made random purchases and caused that woman to be unhappy, he shouldn’t blame it on them when the time came. Zhai Yaohui was really more concerned about the two children now.
“I’m sure.”
“Okay. Your mom and I will do as we see fit then?”
“Okay. Just remember not to buy anything too extravagant. She’s a pretty good person and doesn’t have a vain personality. You might scare her instead if you assume too serious an attitude.” Zhai Sheng was only short of saying that Qiao Nan was a simple and unadorned woman.
Zhai Yaohui was a little surprised. “Really?” It was either he didn’t find, or once he did, he found a woman that they would like as well?
Back then, it was also after Qiu Chenxi married over that Zhai Yaohui realized that not only did she know how to lead a life, but she was also exceptionally extravagant and vain. However, she had already married over. As a father-in-law, what else could Zhai Yaohui say?
“I don’t think I need to say much about what kind of person she is. If there’s a chance, you can take a look at her yourself. I believe you will develop good feelings for her.” Upon talking about Qiao Nan, the gap between Zhai Sheng and Zhai Yaohui didn’t seem to be that huge anymore. They talked more to each other, and there were more fluctuations in emotions. It was unlike the past, where every additional word said would seem to cut out a part of Zhai Sheng’s flesh.
“Good. Good!” She could let his increasingly cold and indifferent son have such a huge change, making him seem more human. Based on this point alone, even if he hadn’t seen her yet, Zhai Yaohui had already given this future daughter-in-law a score of eighty.
One was marked by the company one kept. If that woman wasn’t someone good, Zhai Sheng’s attitude in front of them wouldn’t have improved. His son was influenced by a good role model. Zhai Yaohui was naturally happy. “Okay. As long as what you say is true, I have a better understanding of what to prepare for her.”
After hanging up the call, Zhai Yaohui walked toward Miao Jing. He made up his mind after seeing the items on the counter. “You should sell watches here, right?”
“Yes.” The shopping guide nodded. Although she felt regretful in her heart, she always had a smile on her face. “Take a look at that counter. There are Longines and Tissot. Our brands here are quite complete. You can take a look and choose a good one.”
“Thank you.” After seeing the counter and brands, Zhai Yaohui pulled Miao Jing along to buy a Tissot watch. It looked like it cost around four to five thousand yuan.
Miao Jing looked at the watch hesitantly. “Is this too light? Isn’t there a Longines next to it? I saw one that cost around twenty-three thousand yuan. It looks good and is suitable for ladies.”
Compared to Qiu Chenxi, who used to casually spend twenty to thirty thousand yuan on a bag, it was more worth it to spend the same amount of money on a watch that could be worn a lifetime. After seeing how Qiu Chenxi squandered money, Miao Jing’s shopping awareness level had been greatly increased.
“Believe me. It’s enough.” Zhai Yaohui patted Miao Jing’s shoulders so that she wouldn’t feel so uneasy. “Furthermore, I didn’t say that we’ll be done with just one gift.” After buying the watch, Zhai Yaohui pulled Miao Jing to the counter just now. “Wrap this bracelet up. I want it.”
The shopping guide just now became shocked. “Haven’t you already bought a watch?” The cheapest Tissot would have cost at least thousands of yuan. It wasn’t too bad as a first-time gift. Furthermore, the bracelet that the other party wanted to be wrapped cost a hundred thousand yuan…
“A watch is a watch. Our family wants this bracelet as well. You can just ring up our order and wrap them up.” Zhai Yaohui had been thrifty all his life. He only made an exception this once. As long as the other party was as good as Zhai Sheng claimed to be, Zhai Yaohui felt that the money spent today was worthwhile.
The shopping guide could earn quite a bit of commission for closing such a big deal. She felt that happiness came too suddenly. After seeing the couple go to buy a watch, the shopping guide was prepared for her wasted effort. Who knew that there would be such a big surprise afterward?
Upon seeing that Zhai Yaohui had really paid the bill, the shopping guide couldn’t help but say, “She’s really blessed to have you value her so much. Both of you will definitely be blessed as well.”
