Sweet Love 1V1: Spoiled by The Executive - Chapter 244
Chapter 244: That’s So Amazing!
With Madam Ruan’s tears, the entire scene went out of control.
It was just one qipao, but Madam Ruan was so angry to the point of tears. After all, the bigger the anticipation, the bigger the disappointment. Madam Ruan liked Ling Tianya so much, yet she had the audacity to bring something like that as Madam Ruan’s gift. The worst part was that she acted as though she was in the right the whole time, how could Madam Ruan not get angry?!
Ruan Zeyan did not expect his own grandma to cry either, but when he saw the pattern on the qipao in Ling Tianya’s hands, he understood. He met Ling Tianya’s eyes, and there was nothing but relief and love in them.
“Ling Tianya, look how angry Granny got, hurry and take your lowly gift away!” Ruan Lijia announced.
Third Mrs. Ruan rushed forwards towards Ling Tianya, as though wanting to snatch it up to throw away the qipao. Her “Two Phoenixes made in Heaven” had made Madam Ruan angry, but she hadn’t cried. Ling Tianya was useless and made her cry. Mrs. Ruan was going to snatch the opportunity to steal the spotlight!
“Your things are just like you, disgraceful! Hurry and throw it away!” she roared hurriedly.
“Who’s the one that wants to throw the qipao I have made away?” An extremely powerful voice boomed through the crowd.
All they saw was a white-haired woman, wearing retro-styled clothing, walking over. She wore high heels on her feet, every step dripping with elegance.
“My goodness! Isn’t that the long-retired Madam Liang?” People whispered.
Seeing Madam Liang appear, there was no one that was surprised. Everyone knew that Madam Ruan loved qipao to the moon and back, so everyone had been dying to get their hands on a qipao that Madam Liang had made. She had long since retired and was a very eccentric person though. No matter how one begged, she absolutely refused to start working again. Even if she was offered a ton of money, or pressured with social status, she stood firm on her feet and her principles. It was not only rich business people that Madam Liang rejected; she had also even rejected the wife of the country’s leader when she requested a qipao for her overseas diplomatic meetings.
Not only had Madam Liang come to Madam Ruan’s birthday dinner, she said that the plain-colored qipao, was her work!
Everyone gaped, wondering whether they were hallucinating.
Even third Mrs. Ruan couldn’t believe it. Something like that was made by Madam Liang? “Madam Liang, you must be joking!”
Madam Liang’s face darkened. “I have made qipaos for several decades now, I have always held utmost respect for qipaos, when have I ever joked about them?!”
Third Mrs. Ruan still doesn’t believe it and scrutinized Madam Liang from head to toe. “Are you sure you’re actually Madam Liang? Not an actor that Ling Tianya found?”
This time, her words made Madam Liang laugh. “Bring out the qipao and show it to these unenlightened people!”
Ling Tianya nodded at Madam Liang, passing the box to Du Gang. She took the qipao in the box out.
The qipao was made out of genuine silk, cold to the touch, smooth and glossy. The thing that was the most surprising was the flower stitched into the fabric. When it was pulled out of the box everyone expected something flashy, but the color very was plain. People found themselves saying, “That’s it?”
Ling Tianya held the qipao up so everyone could get a better look. It glistened and flitted daintily; at a closer glance, the entire qipao’s curves and stitches were all perfect. The lotus flower that was on it was the most lifelike thing they had ever seen. The dragonfly on the lotus really looked as if it was beating its wings.
A qipao like that was more art than clothing, it seemed to be woven with magic.
There were no longer any doubts that the qipao came from Madam Liang’s hands. No one but Madam Liang could embroider in such a way.
