Chapter 1342 Setting the Fashion Trend

Mother Tian did not live in vain in America for more than twenty years.

Compared to typical folks, it was much easier for her to get hold of such good quality products. Therefore, she had brought all the good stuff that she had just gotten to the Zhai family for Qiao Nan.

At this moment, Mother Tian also realized the merit of having a daughter-in-law like Zhai Hua.

Given her actions, if it were another daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law would definitely complain to her son and cause him to flare up at her. Zhai Hua was different. Zhai Hua would feel happier if her mother-in-law were to give all these good stuff to Qiao Nan instead of her.

In short, she felt happy giving it, her daughter-in-law was happy, her son had no worries, and everyone was happy. It was a great happiness for all.

What could be happier than such a way of giving?

Mother Tian seemed as though she wanted to doll up her own daughter. Qiao Nan could barely endure the drowning affection and enthusiasm from Mother Tian. As time passed, the Tian family treated Qiao Nan better and better. They were so good to Qiao Nan that she almost thought that she was not given birth by Ding Jiayi but was an illegitimate daughter of the Tian family who was left wandering outside.

She could only say that half the clothes in her almost-full wardrobe were given by Mother Tian.

Now, besides clothes, Mother Tian even took care of all the women’s cosmetic and skincare products.

At one glance, Qiao Nan could tell that there was a pile of cosmetics, skincare, and makeup products. There were brands that she was aware of and more brands that she was unaware of.

Qiao Nan felt that she might need to take some time to enroll in a makeup course if she were to use all these products.

Pinching her fingers, Qiao Nan almost could not estimate how much money had been spent on these items.

After thinking, Miao Jing accepted them on behalf of Qiao Nan. “Nan Nan, I think Auntie Fen is right. You are spending more time on your internship now. Although you are only in your third year of college studies, you have already obtained all your credits, right? You have even passed your graduation thesis with flying colors. Hence, you’re just waiting for graduation. I remember that your master has given you many assignments. It may not look good on you if you keep going out with a bare face in the future. Auntie Fen is very thoughtful to have prepared all these items for you beforehand. Otherwise, I would have to chase you out to buy some of them.”

There was no choice. The few women in the family did not have much interest in these items.

Qiao Nan married well but she had always been very frugal. In addition, she was only a student. Hence, her attire was even more ordinary than that of typical college students. Besides the car that fetched Qiao Nan to and fro the school, no one could tell that Qiao Nan was already married and married to such a wealthy family. They could not find a single clue on Qiao Nan to suggest that.

After Miao Jing’s advice, Qiao Nan felt more serious. “This is a real problem. Auntie Fen, thank you then.”

Qiao Nan was aware that the Tian family did not lack money. At this juncture, Hu Fen might not be willing to take the money from Qiao Nan even if the latter wanted to pay her.

Zhai Hua lifted her hands. “What’s with the thanks? Everyone is family. Nan Nan, remember to tell me if you find those items useful. I will get more for you next time. A woman has to start maintaining her youth when she is young. It is a good time for you to start doing that now.”

Qiao Nan smirked. “You are also a woman—a pregnant one. Of course, you can’t touch these items now. But after you give birth to the baby in your womb, do you want to research this together with me?”

Qiao Nan was not looking down on Zhai Hua but she was too clear of Zhai Hua’s character. She only knew how to speak of others but not do it herself.

Zhai Hua was so lazy in this aspect, yet she still had the shame to persuade her to use more of these items.

Zhai Hua smiled, embarrassed. “Hahaha, I am pregnant now. As to what happens after giving birth, let’s talk about it after eight months.” She was pregnant and becoming a mother soon. Zhai Hua was so happy and contented that she almost lost her sense of direction.

Thereafter, Zhai Hua told Qiao Nan some ‘insider information’. “No matter how many things my mother-in-law gives you, just accept them. I think you don’t know that Uncle Shi is managing that area recently? Because you have one percent of the shares in the company, although it is not a lot, Dongzi received many conveniences because of it. These items, regardless of the number of items, just take them.”

This was not considered without returning any favor.

Zhai Hua was very satisfied with her in-law family in one point. After benefiting from Qiao Nan, they had the conscience to remember it. They did not forget Qiao Nan when they had good things and sent them over to her.

Zhai Hua was aware that given Qiao Nan’s character, she could not bear to buy this pile of items. Putting aside the clothes, the facial products would cost at least ten thousand yuan. After Qiao Nan married into the Zhai family, when did she ever spend a huge sum of money besides her college tuition fees?

Even the money from Qiao Nan’s scholarship prize could already offset a portion of the college tuition fees.

Zhai Hua spent a great deal of time in the army camp. Unlike typical women, even after she bought a lot of good clothes, she still felt that they were not as comfortable as her camouflaged soldier uniform.

As for Qiao Nan, she was dressed even more simply. In summer, she wore a big cotton T-shirt, jeans, and occasionally dresses. In winter, she wore a thick and heavy cotton shirt. Even the down jackets were bought for her by Miao Jing.

Despite that, Qiao Nan could carry off a unique look when she wore faded and washed-out jeans. It did not look like worn-out jeans. Instead, it seemed as though she had deliberately worn it that way, making the jeans look different and unique.In addition, Qiao Nan had long and slender legs.

Once, when Zhai Hua and Qiao Nan were shopping outside, they were stopped by a young and fashionable young lady. That lady held onto Qiao Nan’s hands and insisted on asking, “Beauty, this pair of jeans must be in the latest fashion. Where did you buy them? I have not seen this in the capital before. Did you buy it in Hong Kong or overseas? Tell me. I will get one too.”

When she encountered that, Zhai Hua was so shocked that her eyeballs almost popped out.

It was a pair of faded and washed-out jeans but someone could hold onto them and ask where they bought it from? Was this amazing? Amazing!

Later on, Qiao Nan told Zhai Hua that there was something called ‘stonewashed jeans’ in this world, and people deliberately made them that way. Once again, Qiao Nan had enhanced Zhai Hua’s knowledge of the upcoming fashion trend. “Let’s not talk about stonewashed jeans. Believe it or not, people will deliberately make some holes in the jeans.” This was the famous ripped jeans.

In short, Qiao Nan did not spend much money. She wore one pair of jeans for many years until they were faded and washed-out, with some D.I.Y. mending and sewing. Her family shunned her for being too frugal to wear such ‘torn’ jeans, yet Qiao Nan used her own ability to prove to the Zhai family that people who wore luxury goods also had to chase after her to ask where she bought her clothes from.

Although the elders did not understand what the youngsters considered as fashionable, Qiao Nan’s way of dressing had gained the favor of her peers such that they were keen to emulate.
