Chapter 1250 She's the one who has to save face.
At this moment, the butler spoke up, "Miss Shen, our master needs a whole day to finish his painting. Please come back tonight to pick it up."
"Okay, thank you very much, Master Dong Xian. I'll come over again tonight."
"Miss Shen, let me see you off."
"Ah."
The housekeeper saw Shen Qing out.
"Butler, please thank Master Dong Xian for me again."
"Alright, but you really are the first person to make an exception for our master. So many people have asked him to paint before, but our master has always refused. Only this time, you simply said a few words, and our master agreed."
"Then it seems to be my honor."
"Alright, Miss Shen, please take care."
"it is good!"
Then Shen Qing drove away, and she was in a good mood the whole way.
She had anticipated that getting Master Dong Xian to paint would be difficult, but it wasn't as difficult as she had imagined.
Shen Qing didn't go straight home; she went to deal with Liu Wei's matter.
She was determined to keep her promise to Liu Wei.
She went to the funeral home first.
Then we went to the cemetery.
After about half a day, she finally finished the task that Liu Wei had assigned her.
……
She glanced at the time; if she went home now, she would have to go out again later to pick up the painting from Master Dong Xian.
But it's still very early now.
If we go directly to Master Dong Xian, we might find that he hasn't finished painting yet.
Shen Qing had no choice but to sit in the car and rest.
When it was almost time, she went directly to Master Dong Xian's place.
At this time her phone rang.
"Hello, cousin, this is Wenwen."
"Wenwen, what's wrong?"
"what are you busy with?"
"I'm fine. Is something wrong?"
"Yes, I do need to talk to you about something."
"What's the matter?" Shen Qing asked.
"My father-in-law's 66th birthday banquet is in just one day, right? I'd like you to help me choose some jewelry. I'm just thinking that you have good taste, and if you have time, could you help me choose some pieces to wear on that day? After all, there will be a lot of people there."
Shen Qing thought for a moment and then agreed, "Okay, I'm near the mall right now. Just come over, I'll wait for you here."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Shen Qing sent her address to Zhang Wenwen.
Then we waited for Zhang Wenwen to come over.
She figured it wouldn't take too long to help Wenwen choose jewelry.
……
Zhang Wenwen arrived a moment later.
Upon seeing Shen Qing's car, Zhang Wenwen walked directly towards it.
She knocked on the car window. "Cousin."
Shen Qing opened the car door. "Why are you here so fast?"
"I was afraid you'd get impatient and hang up, so I went out."
"Okay, let's go in then."
"Yes, the two of them walked into the mall hand in hand."
As Zhang Wenwen walked over, she said, "Cousin, what are you doing here?"
"I just helped a friend with something, and I haven't had time to go back yet."
“Oh, I see. By the way, cousin, it’s your father-in-law’s birthday banquet in a day. Aren’t you planning to dress up a bit? There will be a lot of people there that day. I’m sure we two daughters-in-law will be the main focus, and a lot of people will be paying attention to us. We can’t let our guard down.”
Shen Qing nodded. "You're right. Let's go shopping together then."
"Uh-huh."
Shen Qing and Zhang Wenwen walked into the large jewelry store together.
Those who can walk into this jewelry store are all prominent figures in Kyoto. Because only the wealthy can afford to shop here.
The two walked slowly between the counters, the air filled with a faint fragrance and the cool luster unique to jewelry.
Today, Shen Qing wore a well-tailored off-white Chanel suit, which made her skin look as white as snow and gave her an elegant and composed demeanor, as if she had been in a high position for a long time.
Although Zhang Wenwen is also a daughter-in-law of the Yan family, she always habitually relies on Shen Qing when it comes to things that require maintaining appearances.
Their eyes swept over the jewelry displayed in the counter: "The jewelry we choose must be appropriate for the occasion, complement our temperament, and be a bit original, not too tacky."
They first went to the diamond section.
A sales assistant warmly greeted them, introducing the latest diamond sets. Shen Qing picked up a pair of pear-shaped diamond earrings with a simple yet perfectly cut design and gestured to Zhang Wenwen: "How about these? They're sparkly enough, but the design isn't too complicated. They should look amazing with an evening gown."
Zhang Wenwen took a closer look and shook her head: "Isn't it a bit too flashy? Won't it seem a bit... ostentatious?" She preferred a more understated style.
Shen Qing put down her earring and smiled slightly: "That's right, your temperament is more suited to a gentler style."
She then pointed to the pearl counter on the other side, "How about pearls? They're classic, elegant, and suitable for a traditional and grand occasion like my father-in-law's birthday banquet."
The two arrived at the Pearl District.
The round and full South Sea pearls and the softly lustrous freshwater pearls quietly radiate a warm glow on the velvet tray.
Zhang Wenwen was immediately drawn to a necklace of evenly sized, lustrous white pearls: "This is beautiful and very gentle."
Shen Qing examined it carefully for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's really nice. The luster of the pearls makes your skin look even whiter. This necklace would go very well with your champagne-colored dress. Add a pair of matching earrings, and you'll be all set."
Zhang Wenwen tried it on and looked at herself in the mirror. The necklace really suited her.
"But cousin, isn't just one necklace a bit too plain? How about you pick out a pair of earrings for me too?"
"can."
Shen Qing continued to help Zhang Wenwen choose earrings.
Since she was going to help Zhang Wenwen choose, she thought very carefully about what kind of things would be suitable for Zhang Wenwen as a person, and she couldn't just give advice casually.
After browsing for a while, a pair of small and exquisite pearl earrings caught Shen Qing's attention.
She pointed to the pair of earrings and asked, "Wenwen, what do you think of these?"
Zhang Wenwen looked over and her eyes lit up. "Cousin, you have excellent taste. I didn't notice these pearl earrings among all this jewelry."
Then Zhang Wenwen asked the sales assistant to take it out for her so she could try it on.
A satisfied smile instantly spread across her face: "Yes, this is it! Cousin, you have excellent taste."
Shen Qing smiled and said, "Alright, let's look at other places then."
After settling Zhang Wenwen's jewelry needs, Shen Qing began to choose for herself.
"Okay, cousin."
Move to another area.
Although he felt that pearl jewelry enhanced her temperament, she couldn't choose the same kind as Zhang Wenwen.
Of course, the two daughters-in-law must have a unique and distinguished demeanor.
Then Shen Qing's gaze swept among the rows of jewelry, finally settling on a uniquely designed sapphire jewelry set.
The sapphire was deep in color, like the night sky, and was surrounded by tiny diamonds, making it both gorgeous and dignified.
Shen Qing turned to Zhang Wenwen and asked, "What do you think of this outfit?"
Zhang Wenwen was even more surprised when she saw it. "Cousin, I have to say, you have such good taste!"
At this moment, the sales assistant also came over.
"This sapphire necklace and earrings set has a very elegant design and the color is just right."
The sales assistant then introduced, "Sapphire symbolizes nobility and loyalty, making it very suitable for a lady of your status."
Zhang Wenwen, who was standing next to her, also praised, "Cousin, you are so beautiful and have such a great temperament. This outfit seems to have been tailor-made for you."
"Okay, I'll give it a try then."
