Rebirth of a Village Girl novel Chapter 939

Chapter 939: 229: Great beauty! Siblings?_6

Li Yao continued, "It would be great if Shen City also had a store!"

Du Jiaojiao joked, "You could consider moving to Beijing."

After the meal, Ni Yang had some other matters to attend to, so she left early and didn’t go back to Deming Pavilion with the others.

Wang Hengyang went to talk business with Grandpa Du, and Li Yao chatted with Du Jiaojiao in her room.

"Is that the gift from the great beauty?" Li Yao asked, pointing to a beautifully wrapped box.

Although she hadn’t known Ni Yang for long, Li Yao had already given her a nickname.

That was... the great beauty.

Du Jiaojiao nodded, "Yes, it’s from the great beauty."

Compared to Yangyang, Du Jiaojiao also felt that the term ’great beauty’ suited Ni Yang better.

"What did the great beauty give you? I’m really so curious." Li Yao picked up the wrapped box casually. "Do you mind if I open it to have a look?"

"Go ahead, I would have to open it sooner or later."

Li Yao unwrapped the box layer by layer, then exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my god!"

"What is it?" Du Jiaojiao grew curious.

"The great beauty is really thoughtful, come over and take a look!" Li Yao insisted.

Du Jiaojiao came over and was also a bit surprised.

The box was filled with rose petals, and a faint rose fragrance lingered in the air. In the middle of the rose petals was a box of skincare products.

"Ice Jade Skin, this is the first time I’ve heard of this name." Li Yao picked up the box. "The packaging looks really high-end, but it seems to be a domestic product. I wonder if it’s any good."

As she finished, Li Yao continued, "How well-off is the great beauty’s family? To only give a domestic skincare product! Who would dare use it?"

Ni Yang didn’t seem like the stingy type.

And at that time, domestic products really couldn’t stand on solid ground.

Du Jiaojiao smiled and said, "The great beauty is still a student. She mentioned this skincare product to me before, and it must be because she found it suitable for her use that she gifted it to me. Just in time, my skin has been a bit dry these days, and I’ve even had some acne. I’ll try Ice Jade Skin tonight."

Liu Father shook his head. "She’s not that kind of person."

Women who came out of that era had fidelity etched into their bones. Once married, they followed their husbands, and if their husbands died, they followed their sons. They valued their chastity more than their lives and would absolutely not remarry.

Go back 60 years earlier, and you’d still hear talk of the chastity arch.

Jiu Wentang nodded, "I also feel that your sister isn’t that kind of person."

Liu Father sighed, "These years, it’s I who have let her down."

"It’s a time of war and chaos; none of this is your fault," Jiu Wentang reassured. "Your sister is so kind-hearted; I believe she will understand your predicament."

Liu Father sighed again, "I hope so."

Jiu Wentang smiled and said, "Don’t worry, your sister definitely won’t blame you. By the way, Haoshan, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you."

"Go ahead," Liu Father said, massaging his temples.

Jiu Wentang continued, "I’ve made up my mind. If your sister has not remarried all these years and doesn’t have any children, I’m considering adopting Xiaoru out to her."

Jiu Wentang was a clever woman; she knew that after adopting Liu Ru to Grandma Liu, she wouldn’t be at a loss.
