CHAPTER 103: CHAPTER 103: FINISHED QIPAO

Chen Jinlan watched Jiang Jingming walk away without looking back and immediately entered the hospital room.

"Jiajia, how is it?"

Song Jiajia leaned against the hospital bed, her face contorted and fierce.

"He will definitely agree!"

Chen Jinlan felt a bit scared seeing Song Jiajia like this and dared not ask more.

...

Jiang Family

He Xiulan took out a few completed qipaos: "Yu, take a look at these finished pieces, how do you think they turned out?"

Sang Yu held the qipaos, noticing the exquisite stitching and patterns.

Indeed, they were crafted by master tailors.

"Aunt, this is very well done."

He Xiulan said, "It’s mainly because your designs are excellent. Today, when my old friend came to bring me clothes, she mentioned that since they hung them in the shop after finishing them, all the customers have been asking about these qipaos."

Sang Yu exclaimed, "Really? People are already asking about them?"

Sang Yu had indeed asked He Xiulan to take them to those old tailors, valuing their connections.

This way, her qipaos could quickly gain popularity.

"Of course, but you requested to inspect the finished products first, so they haven’t been sold yet. My old friend mentioned that those who showed interest hope you can prioritize them if you decide to sell."

Sang Yu: "Of course. Aunt, you can also tell them that my qipao designs are absolutely unique, and each style only has one piece."

"That’s wonderful; they’ll definitely love it."

No one can refuse something unique.

"By the way, Aunt, here’s a design specifically for your qipao. Find some time to get it made by a tailor. I don’t have the skills to make the final product."

He Xiulan took the paper with joy: "It’s very thoughtful of you, and this design is worth quite a bit."

Sang Yu: "It’s nothing, just something I did on a whim. I’m glad you like it."

He Xiulan held the design with a delighted face: "I’m so envious of those who can create art. I particularly like a manga artist named Xiao Yu’er. Her drawings are beautiful. Let me show you."

She didn’t notice that as she finished speaking, Sang Yu’s expression suddenly changed.

He Xiulan handed a freshly-published manga to Sang Yu: "Look, I had someone get this for me. It’s in high demand; Xiao Yu’er’s artwork is incredibly cute. Our whole family loves it, but the only downside is there isn’t enough; it’s never enough. Just a moment ago, Lan was reading it too."

Jiang Lan joined in: "That’s right, I really love it."

Sang Yu’s smile was slightly awkward: "Is that so?"

This manga had just officially been published a couple of days ago.

And the content was something she had rushed to finish at home alone during the day for faster publication.

She hadn’t expected He Xiulan to have gotten a copy.

Especially since Liu Shumin had said it would first be published in Beijing before reaching Sea City.

So it wasn’t available in Sea City yet.

But He Xiulan managed to get one, showing her fondness for the manga.

"Yu, do you want to see it? It’s not for sale yet in Sea City."

Sang Yu waved her hand: "No, no need, Aunt. Actually..."

"Sis, we’re here." It was Wei Lai’s voice.

Wei Lai and Wei Qing appeared at the door together.

Wei Lai’s eyes lit up when he saw Sang Yu: "Sister-in-law! What are you doing here?"

Seeing Wei Lai, Sang Yu also greeted him: "Wei Lai."

Wei Qing’s face fell upon seeing Sang Yu.

Wei Jin was slightly surprised to see them: "Why are you two here?"

"Mom said Aunt Fang sent her some local specialties, and she asked us to bring some to you."

Wei Jin: "Why didn’t Mom come?"

Wei Lai: "Mom is at home dealing with the rest."

After speaking, Wei Lai leaned towards Sang Yu: "Sister-in-law, why are you here? Did you make something delicious to bring over?"

Sang Yu said helplessly: "No, I’m here to stay for a few days."

Wei Lai’s eyes suddenly gleamed: "What? Sister-in-law, you’re staying here for a few days? How many days?"

"Four or five days."

"Will you be cooking, Sister-in-law?"

Before Sang Yu could speak, He Xiulan said: "Your sister-in-law is a guest; how can she cook for you?"

"Ah?" Wei Lai seemed disappointed. "I was hoping to eat your cooking again, but it’s been so bland lately."

Sang Yu laughed: "Shall I cook tonight? You can stay for dinner."

After saying that, Sang Yu realized this wasn’t her home and looked at He Xiulan.

Afraid that He Xiulan might mind her presumptuousness.

Seeing Sang Yu’s expression, He Xiulan said: "It’s fine, you decide. Anyway, I was planning to have Wei Lai and Wei Qing over for dinner."

Wei Qing couldn’t help but mutter: "How good could it be?"

Wei Lai: "If you don’t want to eat, then go home."

Wei Qing: "I won’t."

Wei Jin said helplessly: "Can you two be a bit more loving? You’re siblings, after all."

Wei Lai and Wei Qing said in unison: "No way."

Wei Jin shook his head helplessly.

He Xiulan turned to Sang Yu: "Then I’ll help you in the kitchen."

Sang Yu nodded: "Okay."

In the evening, Wei Lai finally got to enjoy Sang Yu’s dishes.

"This is the taste; Sister-in-law, your culinary skills are truly amazing."

He Xiulan feigned anger: "So you’re saying my skills aren’t good?"

Wei Lai quickly said: "No, no, I didn’t mean that. Aunt, your skills are excellent too, but I prefer Sister-in-law’s."

He Xiulan chuckled helplessly: "But Yu’s cooking is indeed really good."

Jiang Songwen also rarely praised, "Yes, it’s really tasty."

Jiang Chunhe said, "Sis-in-law, your cooking is truly great. It’s a shame if you don’t open a restaurant."

Wei Lai spoke ’from a busy schedule’: "No way, Lin Wen said Brother Jingming doesn’t approve."

Everyone’s eyes suddenly turned to Sang Yu, whose face turned red: "No, he’s just joking."

Wei Lai said: "I’m not saying nonsense. Lin Wen said Brother Jingming cherishes Sister-in-law and doesn’t want her to do such things. I agree; if I had a wife, I wouldn’t want her to do such things either."

He Xiulan laughed: "Jingming isn’t wrong. Opening a restaurant would be too tiring, and we aren’t short of money. You can find something more comfortable to do.

Now that Yu can design qipaos, a single piece of paper can sell for quite a bit. Isn’t that much better than opening a restaurant?"

Sang Yu kept her head down, not daring to lift it. Wei Lai, really, does he have to say everything?

Are these things okay to just say?

Wei Qing suddenly started shoveling down his food.

Wei Lai glanced over: "No manners."

Wei Qing immediately refrained, holding his breath.

Sang Yu looked at Wei Qing, who glared back like a puffed-up pufferfish.

Quite adorable indeed.
