The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 90

"Thank you Grandma Shi. Otherwise my sister-in-law and I would have been in trouble," said Rong Dai hurriedly to thank Shi Lao after the onlookers had dispersed. Dai Rong also nodded along at her side.

"There are all kinds of people gathered here, both treasures and trash. You should judge for yourselves. Saying certain things will lead to trouble in crowded places like this. Wherever there are crowds, there are bound to be disputes. If everyone was selling treasures, things like this wouldn't happen. Everyone has their own way of making a living, understand?" Shi Lao nodded and spoke to them earnestly.

Rong Dai nodded again and again. Dai Rong felt a mix of crying and laughing inside. She had really messed up here.

She had been so cautious in her previous life, but after coming here, whether it was because she had let down her guard, she kept making silly mistakes one after another.

"Thank you Grandma Shi. I will come to your door and thank you properly after my grandma comes back."

Rong Dai was like a totally different person now, well-behaved and sensible.

Shi Lao didn't ask anything more. She just laughed and left.

Dai Rong watched her leave and saw a girl about their age with flowing hair and dressed in elegant classical attire going to support her. The girl was talking to Shi Lao and glanced in their direction.

"Who's that person?" Dai Rong asked. She actually wanted to find out about Shi Ying's background, but didn't want to look her up on her phone with Rong Dai around.

Rong Dai took a glance. "That's Shi Ning, her granddaughter. She took Shi Lao's surname. I heard she learned the true lineage of Shi Lao's embroidery skills. There was news online last year that Jinxiu Store was going to organize a personal exhibition for Shi Ning, but there's been no updates since..."

Dai Rong listened carefully and took note in her heart.

Other than that little episode, the sisters-in-law enjoyed their shopping trip very much. Dai Rong bought most of what she wanted. But the majority came from Jinxiu Store because of their excellent quality and complete range of products.

Jinxiu Store was huge and had multiple outlets. The two didn't run into Shi Lao and her granddaughter again.

"I'm exhausted. Sister-in-law, are your feet okay? Let's find a place to sit and eat something. I'm tired and hungry."

Rong Dai didn't understand these things. She just knew those embroidered items looked good, but after looking at too many she was worn out.

On the other hand, Dai Rong was knowledgeable about them. She was already familiar with these things, so she was very engaged in browsing, finding the tools she wanted as well as discovering many improved tools from modern times. There were also some convenient tools that didn't exist in her previous life.

And those sewing machines - they delighted her. No wonder machine embroidery could be done so well too. It was just a pity that machine embroidery lacked spiritual energy.

For an embroidery mistress, not only must her skills be good, her works must also contain spiritual energy to be considered top grade.

After making this round, she had incurred another 700,000 to 800,000 in debt.

Dai Rong felt very troubled, but these purchases were worth it to her.

Seeing that Rong Dai really looked exhausted, she nodded. The two went to a dessert shop and ordered drinks and some exquisite desserts.

"Sister-in-law, I'm going to the restroom."

Right after their order was placed, Rong Dai had to rush off to the toilet urgently. Dai Rong nodded and sat quietly in her chair, gazing at the fairly well-made desserts in front of her.

Sitting alone quietly like this, she was still beautiful and charming even without any makeup on. Especially the elegance and composure she exuded that particularly attracted people.

In the short time Rong Dai took to go to the toilet and come back, she saw a foreigner with high nose bridge and big eyes chatting up Dai Rong.

With her fiery temper, she would have normally gone up and hit the person already. This was her sister-in-law! How could she let someone steal her brother's woman!

But as she approached, she paused and a cunning look flashed in her eyes. She took out her phone and snapped a few pictures of the two before gleefully sending them to Huo Shao Ting.

"Dai Rong," she deliberately didn't call her sister-in-law and addressed her by name instead.

The foreigner chatting up Dai Rong immediately had a gleam in his eyes. His two other companions also walked over.

Dai Rong's brows furrowed. She had been startled just now, but she had seen some foreigners before in her previous life, like Persians and Kunlun slaves.

Although rare, she had still remotely received their envoys during court audiences in the palace.

But this was her first time seeing foreign men with such different skin color up close, and she was surprised that this man's irises were blue.

"Hey beauty! Let's be friends! We'll treat you to a meal!" One of the black men came up and put his hand on Dai Rong's shoulder, speaking broken Chinese.

Rong Dai had only wanted to stimulate her brother a little to improve his relationship with his wife. She didn't expect these people to take advantage of Dai Rong!

"Damn you, looking to die! Get your hand off her!"

She kicked the man, causing him to stumble. The three foreign men's expressions changed instantly, a fierce and greedy look flashing in their eyes.

Dai Rong's complexion also changed, her eyes cold.

"Anyone who dares to touch again, try it! Let's see if your neck is harder than my knife is fast!"

Dai Rong's face sank as she grabbed the iron fork from the table for eating desserts and pointed it at the three men. Rong Dai also swiftly grabbed a fork and pointed it at them. Seeing the situation, the dessert shop owner immediately called for mall security.

Rong Dai explained the incident clearly and in detail.

The three men were promptly escorted out of the shop by security. Dai Rong felt very uneasy, her face still gloomy and icy.

"Damn inauspicious! Next time I go out I'll bring some anti-wolf spray! Do they think anyone can strike up a conversation? Are they blind?"

Rong Dai was about to explode from anger.

After this incident, Dai Rong was no longer in the mood.

"Forget it, let's go somewhere else. How about I bring you to eat hotpot? It's about time for lunch now too."

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Rong Dai changed the topic to divert her attention.

Dai Rong was willing to try anything novel, so she nodded. The two drove to another mall to eat hotpot.

At this moment, Huo Shao Ting received Rong Dai's message while spacing out in his office, his mind occasionally drifting back to the scene from last night.

Through the glass window, Assistant Zhang silently added another stroke to the unfinished character 正 he was writing, damn it.

Usually the CEO was absolutely meticulous about work, yet today he kept absentmindedly daydreaming. The CEO behaving this way could only mean he was lovesick.

Huo Shao Ting swiped open his phone to see it was a message from Rong Dai, with the caption: A foreign prince charming, my sister-in-law's charm is boundless!

Seeing the photo, his expression immediately darkened. He abruptly stood up, grabbed his suit jacket and headed out.

Assistant Zhang hurried out of his office to catch up and ask: "CEO, is there anything you need me to do?"

"I'm going out for a meal." He glanced at his watch; it was time for lunch.

"But the expert is arriving soon. Isn't CEO going to wait?" Zhang was at a loss.

"Reschedule to the afternoon." Huo Shao Ting replied softly, already calling Dai Rong.
