She's a shrewd and sweet woman who transmigrated into a book.

Chapter 25 Making money

Liu Jingyi was too lazy to be angry anymore. She looked down at the ground and said, "No, you're overthinking it. I was just afraid of causing you trouble."

After all, Leng Yunting was polite to her, so it was only right that she be polite in return.

Leng Yunting looked at her. Her casual attire, including a fitted dress, revealed Liu Jingyi's great figure.

She had her hair tied in a simple braid and placed it in front of her chest, with a few stray strands of hair falling across her forehead.

She looked so well-behaved and adorable, saying things that seemed to be for his own good, but in Leng Yunting's eyes, she was very disheartening.

Leng Yunting chuckled coldly, "Why have I never seen you afraid of troubling me before?"

After saying that, the man picked up his coat from the back of the chair, glanced at her, and said, "Liu Jingyi, if you're going to lie, then be prepared to keep lying. Don't act like you have no patience."

Leng Yunting returned to his unit.

Liu Jingyi stood there, the sound of the door slamming shut making her eardrums ring.

She slowly raised her lowered eyes, staring blankly at the door that had been slammed shut.

"So... what exactly is he angry about?"

Liu Jingyi murmured to herself, her voice so soft that only she could hear it.

Liu Jingyi couldn't figure it out.

After thinking back, all I could think of was that letter.

So he felt that... since she had seen that letter of unknown origin and potentially ambiguous nature, yet she remained unmoved, neither questioning him nor getting angry, and didn't even bother to ask a single question...

He was angry because of this.

Liu Jingyi understood, but she didn't know how to express it.

Because she's the female lead, right?
Liu Jingyi gave a helpless twitch of her lips, but fortunately there was one thing to be happy about.

Those were the pieces of fabric she had chosen earlier. She made them all into handkerchiefs, ten in total!

Liu Jingyi tidied herself up simply and went to the state-run department store with the embroidered handkerchief in her hand.

Liu Jingyi went straight to Sister Lan when she arrived at the state-run shopping mall.

Sister Lan didn't have much hope, but to her surprise, Liu Jingyi actually came a few days later.

Sister Lan was truly stunned, especially when Liu Jingyi took out her handkerchief!
This embroidery is so beautiful!

What Liu Jingyi brought over was not even in the same league as what they sold in the mall!
Seeing that Sister Lan hadn't spoken for a while, Liu Jingyi asked, "Sister Lan, shall we accept it?"

Sister Lan was still immersed in admiring the work when she heard Liu Jingyi speak. She quickly said, "Yes, yes, Jingyi, did you really embroider all of this these past few days?"

"Well, I embroidered three kinds of flowers, Sister Lan. How much do you think it costs? If it's too low, I won't sell it."

"I spent a lot of time on these, Sister Lan. You know, embroidery is very hard on the eyes."

Of course, Sister Lan knew how difficult it was to embroider one piece; otherwise, it wouldn't be able to sell for such a high price.

As for the price Liu Jingyi mentioned, it naturally couldn't be low, since it was in a completely different league from the handkerchiefs they already had in the mall.

Sister Lan picked up the handkerchief and carefully examined it; it was a handkerchief with three different patterns embroidered by Liu Jingyi.

The twin lotus flowers look festive, the plum blossoms are elegant and pure, and the crabapple blossoms are bright and vibrant.

Sister Lan was extremely satisfied with these three patterns. She directly said to Liu Jingyi, "Jingyi, I'll buy these handkerchiefs for ten yuan each. After all, handkerchiefs that are too expensive are hard to sell. This is the highest price I can offer."

Liu Jingyi was quite pleasantly surprised, after all, she hadn't expected it to cost this much.

Although it may seem difficult to outsiders, only Liu Jingyi herself knows that she didn't put much thought into these handkerchiefs at all.

Of course, no matter how happy she was inside, she remained calm on the surface.

Liu Jingyi calmly confirmed the price with Sister Lan. With the hundred yuan in hand, Liu Jingyi selected a few more pieces of fabric and embroidery thread, but this time she did not plan to rush into embroidery.

Firstly, scarcity drives up prices; secondly, given the current price, it should be able to sell for a while.

As Liu Jingyi walked home, she couldn't contain her joy, because she had earned it through her own efforts, and she felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Even though one hundred yuan wasn't much before she transmigrated into the book, it was a considerable sum in this era, as Leng Yunting's monthly salary was only a little over one hundred yuan.

She touched the new fabric she had bought in her hand. The soft cotton and silky satin felt amazing. Since it was for her to wear, she naturally wanted to buy the best.

Liu Jingyi wanted to have a cheongsam made for herself, because it was something she liked.

Thinking of the shirts her family made for Leng Yunting, she imagined herself wearing a cheongsam and walking with him, she would definitely be a beautiful sight.

But thinking about how unreasonable the man was, I instantly lost my mood.

Since he feels that she doesn't care about him and doesn't like him, then he shouldn't wear the clothes she made.

After arriving home, Liu Jingyi put down what she was holding, took out a brand-new shirt from the bottom of the closet, and went to Sister Chen's house.

Aunt Chen was quite surprised to see Liu Jingyi arrive. Although she had politely invited her to dinner that time, nothing came of it afterward.

Aunt Chen put down the clothes she was holding, stood up, wiped her hands, and said, "Jingyi, what brings you here? Did something happen?"

Liu Jingyi handed over the neatly folded shirt in her hand, "Sister-in-law, no, I just felt that I had gone too far before, so I had some extra fabric at home and made two sets of clothes, one for you and one for Brother Chen."

Sister Chen touched the fabric of the clothes. "Such good fabric, no, no, I can't accept it."

The women's shirt was actually altered by Liu Jingyi from a new outfit that the original owner had never worn. The men's shirt was naturally made according to Leng Yunting's size, but Brother Chen's build is similar to Leng Yunting's, so he can wear it too.

If Liu Jingyi is to give a gift, it can't just be a shirt, otherwise it will be hard to explain if word gets out.

"Sister-in-law, if you don't accept them, it means you haven't forgiven me yet. Besides, these two outfits are even matching couple's clothes! This style came from Shenzhen, and I specially learned it. You and Brother Chen will look absolutely perfect together in them."

When Sister Chen heard that it was a couple's outfit, she was quite curious. She looked at it and the style was really nice. She had never seen it before. Moreover, the material and the workmanship were really good. She felt that even the clothes from state-owned department stores were not as good as those made by Liu Jingyi.

"This is really a gift for me."

Sister-in-law Chen couldn't help but ask again.

Liu Jingyi nodded and said, "Of course, sister-in-law, please accept it!"

"Okay, then I won't stand on ceremony. Thank you so much, you've gone to so much trouble."

"Sister-in-law, what you're saying is all my fault. I was so immature before. I should thank you for not holding it against me."

Aunt Chen accepted the clothes, then went to the yard and picked some vegetables she had grown herself, handing them to her.

She felt that Liu Jingyi was really different now, and had become more and more likable.

She's beautiful, delicate, and has a lovely voice!

Now I think that Leng Yunting was the one who made a profit by marrying Liu Jingyi!
