Chapter 65 - 65: Master, Long Time No See
Lin Qingqian: “I’m not inclined towards fashion design. I just want to note down the size to make it easier to prepare clothes for you.”
Luo Tianxue nodded and stood up to let her measure her size.
There was a soft ruler in the dressing room for her to use. After Lin Qingqian measured it, she recorded it in her cell phone memo.
Tony stood at the side and stared at her with a gloomy gaze. His molars were grinding.
While Tony wasn’t paying attention, Luo Tianxue lowered her head and whispered, “I’m looking forward to your style. I’m tired of Tony’s style already.”
Lin Qingqian raised her head and glanced at her. She pursed her lips and smiled faintly. She didn’t want to reply or gossip about her senior.
Seeing that she was silent, Luo Tianxue looked elsewhere in boredom.
Lin Qingqian took her measurements, noted her manager’s number, and went back first.
There were only two weeks left until the red carpet. She had to race against time to design Luo Tianxue’s appearance.
Lin Qingqian first took a taxi to Fu Restaurant and queued up to buy osmanthus cakes. Then, she took a taxi to Clearwater Lane.
Clearwater Lane was an old district protected to preserve Lan City’s culture. It was covered in green bricks and red tiles. Everything in the scenery retained the style of the last century. The long alley was clean and winding. Even the air seemed to smell better than the city center.
Lin Qingqian walked along the alley to the last house and stood in front of the door for a long time. In the end, she bent her index finger and knocked lightly. A moment later, an old voice came from the courtyard. “Who is it?”
The sound of footsteps approached before an old man opened the door. He was wearing a close-fitting dark green cheongsam, and his snow-white hair was curled up. Although he had been weathered by time, his elegance could not be concealed.
When the old man saw Lin Qingqian, a look of disdain appeared in his eyes. “Why are you here?”
Lin Qingqian smiled. “Master, long time no see.”
“Who is your master?” The old woman glared at her and was about to close the door.
Lin Qingqian raised the bag in her hand. “It’s Fu Restaurant’s osmanthus cake. Master, you haven’t eaten it in a long time, right?”
The old woman paused in her actions of closing the door. Her unhappy gaze changed when she saw the osmanthus cake. She hesitated for three seconds and snorted. “Come in.”
When she turned around, she didn’t forget to remind her, “Close the door properly.”
Lin Qingqian smiled. “Alright, Master!”
Her master was still the same as before. She gave up resisting the moment she saw the osmanthus cake. How adorable.
Lin Qingqian carried the osmanthus cake into the house. The old woman picked up the kettle and was about to make tea. She hurriedly put down the bag and went forward to take the kettle. “Master, let me do it.”
The old woman snorted and did not stand on ceremony with her. She turned around and sat down at the round table.
Lin Qingqian took out tea leaves from the cabinet and washed the teapot. Then, she placed the tea leaves in, poured hot water into it, and brought it to the table-
Then, she went to the kitchen cabinet and took out a green porcelain teacup. After arranging the osmanthus cake neatly, she poured the brewed tea into the green porcelain teacup and handed it over with both hands. ‘Master, have some tea. ”
The old woman glanced at her, took the teacup, and said indifferently, “What are you doing here?”
Lin Qingqian stood up and replied, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Master. I really miss you.”
“Tell me the truth.”
Lin Qingqian: “I want to ask Master to help me design a piece of clothing.”
“You’re the lofty Madam Jiang. What clothes does the Missus of the Jiang family want that no one can make? Do you need the help of an old fart like me who’s about to die?” She put down the teacup and mocked coldly.
Lin Qingqian’s smile froze and her voice lowered. “I’m divorced.”
The old woman’s hand trembled. She raised her head and was stunned. A few seconds later, she slapped the table and shouted angrily, “I told you that if men are reliable, a sow can climb a tree, but you didn’t listen!”
She was so angry that her breathing quickened. “Where is that Jiang guy? I’ll settle the score with him!”
Lin Qingqian hurriedly supported her by the arm. “Master, I took the initiative to get a divorce.”
Her right foot, which had just stepped out, stopped. She turned her head to look at Lin Qingqian, feeling very surprised.
“Back then, when I wanted to send you overseas to further your studies, you insisted on not going. You insisted on marrying that Jiang guy. Why, have you thought it through now?”
Lin Qingqian lowered her eyes, and the curve of her lips was extremely faint.
“At that time, I was young and insensible, so I didn’t listen to Master’s words. Now, I’m willing to turn over a new leaf. Master, please be magnanimous and don’t be angry. Give me another chance to turn over a new leaf.”
Back then, her master wanted to send her overseas to further her studies, hoping that she could accumulate experience and gain a foothold in the fashion industry. However, her heart was filled with Jiang Yanshen at that time. Hence, she didn’t leave the country and even quarreled with her master. Because of this, her master had not opened the door for her for three years..
