âUh-huh. Qingya is too simple, too kind, and all she wants is to do charity,â Mrs. Gu exclaimed.
Mrs. Gu came from a well-known family and was pampered from a young age. Everything she ate, wore, and used were nothing but the best. She never had to work a single day and sheâd go shopping for clothes, bags, and accessories when she was free.
But this daughter-in-law of hers, on the contrary, didnât like shopping and had to be convinced to buy a few pieces of clothing. All she thought about was the children in the orphanage.
She made one feel guilty just shopping with her, as though those orphan children would suffer if she spent any money.
Although Mrs. Gu was a kind-hearted person, she knew that one person couldnât save the world. Even if she were to give away all her family assets, there would still be poverty in the world.
Hence, she had never let her kindness interfere with living her own life. Her father and husband worked hard to earn money so that she could enjoy and have a better life â of course she had to do that to the best of her ability!
She felt that Lin Qingya was overly kind, but of course, she couldnât fault someone for being kind.
Except that, initially, she had thought that having a daughter-in-law would be like having another daughter â they could go on shopping sprees and chat about fashion trends â but this daughter-in-law didnât like these things at all, and this disappointed her somewhat.
It would surely have killed Lin Qingya if she knew that being lofty and not being a money worshiper or a shop-a-holic would disappoint Mrs. Gu!
âYup. Compared to Qingya, Iâm rather vulgar. I suppose our names determine our fates. My mom named me Huan and hoped that I would be happy all my life. And so, all my life, Iâve cared only about my own happiness.â
âItâs not wrong to think about your own happiness! I too love gemstones and diamonds and all things glittery, and I want to own every big brandâs latest products of the season!â Mrs. Gu didnât feel that it was wrong to love those things. Which woman doesnât like jewelry and accessories, handbags and pretty clothes?!
Her daughter-in-law, Lin Qingya, was a rarity!
âWell, then, in the future, when Sister-in-law goes shopping, give me a call. We can go on a spree together!â Mu Huan said as she looked toward Lin Qingya.
âSure! Iâm missing a shopping companion!â Mrs. Gu said happily.
If she didnât have a daughter-in-law who could go on shopping sprees with her like a daughter, it wasnât bad having a sister-in-law who could do that!
Lin Qingya: â...!!!â
The internal damage was really making her want to spew blood!
Didnât they say that good wealthy people didnât like money-worshipping girls? What were they thinking?!
Lin Qingya was pretty much destroyed in this round!
In the evening, after Mu Huan had washed her face, she sat at her dressing table and put on her skincare products.
Bao Junyan sat there reading.
There was a sort of harmonious silence in the room.
Until Bao Junyan suddenly asked, âIs there anything you like?â
Mu Huan was taken by surprise and turned around. âWhat?â
âThose apology gifts from Chenyi, is there anything among them that you like?â
âI donât know, I havenât taken a look! I donât like those things!â Mu Huan often had to take on assignments and it was just too bothersome wearing things like necklaces and bracelets. If she unknowingly dropped them and left them behind, then it would simply become evidence.
âLately, weâve been organizing a fundraising activity, so if you donât like them, weâll donate them under your name tomorrow. What do you think?â
Mu Huan: â...â
Was there a need to be so lavish?! Donating such a large amount of valuables!
If he wanted to donate things, why not donate them to her? She was poor too! So poor that she almost had to put her own life at stake!
