Chapter 345 - 244: Dogs and Xu Jiucheng Not Allowed Inside_2
After sending Tang Xi home, Gu Zhiyi returned to Shen Qingli’s place, staying with her through the night, embroidering until the next morning. Shen Qingli had pulled an all-nighter. Xia Yao had ordered wave-pattern embroidery on the cuffs and hem, which was very Chinese in style. Shen Qingli, busy rushing through the work, didn’t care about the more than ten needle pricks on her fingers.
She had grown numb, completely ignoring the pain at her fingertips.
Mengmeng had been busy all night and planned to rest for a couple of hours in the early morning. Seeing Shen Qingli’s fingers, she felt heartache, "Sister Qingli, I think Xu Jiuye does it on purpose. He changes his lady companion every few weeks or a month at most, each time bringing them here to order clothes. Sister Qingli, let’s not deal with him anymore. Next time something like this happens, let’s just refuse. We don’t need to earn this kind of crappy money!"
Shen Qingli bit her lip and kept her head down, not speaking, just continuing to embroider.
Mengmeng, feeling sorry for her, snatched the fabric from her hands.
"Stop embroidering; go get some sleep."
All ten of Shen Qingli’s fingers were red, and her eyes were bloodshot, but at this moment, she stubbornly snatched the fabric back, meticulously smoothing it out, "Mengmeng, you go sleep, don’t worry about me, I’m fine. Have you forgotten? I’ve stayed up embroidering like this before. This is money we’re talking about. Once we deliver the clothes on time, I’ll close the shop for two days and we can go relax."
As she spoke, she gestured with her hands, while a smile as beautiful as a Magnolia flower graced her lips.
