Fang Hong is a go-getter, a career-oriented woman, while Yu Xiu is more of a gentle, family-oriented woman.
This essentially determined the gap between the paths they would take in the future.
That’s why Qin Xue was particularly keen on cultivating Fang Hong.
Because their ambitions differed, their starting points and efforts also differed.
Not to brag, but Fang Hong is the thoroughbred horse, and she, Qin Xue, is the one who discovered this exceptional talent.
“Good morning, Jingtao,” Qin Xue greeted Jingtao with a smile as she reached out to play with him.
“Yaya…” Little Jingtao called out excitedly when he saw Qin Xue.
Now, at over seven months old, Jingtao still couldn’t speak, only babbling nonstop.
“Oh, our little Jingtao is so happy to see auntie,” Qin Xue said as she tried to reach for him.
“Qin Xue, he’s heavy. Don’t hold him. Be careful not to get kicked in the stomach by him,” Fang Xiu hurriedly warned when she saw Qin Xue’s movement. My goodness, she had such a big heart to do that.
“Fine, I’ll just play with him without holding him. Is that okay?” Qin Xue looked at Fang Xiu with a grievance.
“Gee, now you’re blaming me. You don’t know how heavy this kid is. He’s like a dog seeing fatty meat when he sees you. Can you even carry him?” Fang Xiu looked at Qin Xue with a mix of laughter and tears.
“Little Jingtao, did you hear that? Your mom is looking down on both of us. How about from now on you’ll be with auntie?” Qin Xue wasn’t angry at all, but instead continued to tease Jingtao playfully.
“Come on, you! I say one thing and you’re trying to abduct my son!” Fang Xiu said, shaking her head helplessly.
“Hehe, who can blame me? Your son is just so adorable, isn’t he, Taotao?” Qin Xue didn’t care about Fang Xiu’s feelings at all.
“Alright, enough. You two stop bickering and come eat breakfast,” Yu Xiu watched the two adults and the child, feeling helpless.
“Sister-in-law, I already ate breakfast before coming. You guys eat.
Leave Taotao here, I’ll feed him while you eat your own.” Qin Xue sat in front of Jingtao with a bowl of porridge and told the two.
“Yaya…” Jingtao’s eyes lit up with excitement when he saw the food.
“Alright, thanks for your help,” Fang Xiu said as she watched her son’s excited expression, feeling a bit jealous. After all, she had put so much effort into raising him.
Why did he seem to like Qin Xue more than her?
“Here, eat this,” Yu Xiu handed a bun to Fang Xiu.
“Thank you, Yu Xiu,” Fang Xiu thanked Yu Xiu as she took the bun.
After they finished eating breakfast, Qin Xue finally revealed her purpose for coming.
“Xiu, that dress I asked you to make last time, is it finished?” Qin Xue thought about her mother and brother, who she had never met.
She had to prepare clean clothes and supplies for them, no matter how long they stayed.
“Yeah, it’s done. Wait a minute; I’ll get it for you,” Fang Xiu said, getting up to fetch the clothes.
‘Qin Xue, here’s the dress,” Fang Xiu handed the clothes to Qin Xue.
“l must say, the finished dress looks really nice,” Yu Xiu had seen the clothes when Fang Xiu first finished them, and they were genuinely beautiful.
“Yes, Qin Xue, I didn’t expect to be able to make such a pretty dress,” Fang Xiu admitted, recalling her excitement when she had finished the dress.
“Hmm, let me see.” Qin Xue inspected the clothes one by one.
The craftsmanship was exquisite, with neat and close stitches. It was very well-done.
It looked like Fang Xiu could go to design school to study fashion design in the future. With that kind of education, she would undoubtedly become an excellent fashion designer.
It wasn’t that Qin Xue blindly believed in Fang Xiu, but an untrained person who could read her drawings and not only understand them but also make the clothes showed great potential. If such a person couldn’t succeed, then there really was no justice in the world.
So, at that moment, Qin Xue made a silent and life-changing decision for Fang Xiu in her heart. She was going to send Fang Xiu to learn design..
