Chapter 87: Sis, Let’s Make Hanfu
Cen Zhu said worriedly, “There will be hidden dangers in this abnormal lifestyle sooner or later, and I heard that Zhuang Hong is not an easy person to get along with.”
She heard that in the past, Zhuang Hong was decisive and inflexible. He was a force of nature. There was not a single person in Lin City who did not know of him. Even as the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, who could not show her face in public, she had heard the Lu family mention Zhuang Hong’s name. In Lin City, this was a person that you did not want to provoke or offend. Cen Shuang’s marriage to Zhuang Hong was an accident and a mistake. At that time, Zhuang Hong was unconscious and the Cen family was in ruins. The two sisters could not protect themselves. However, things were different now, she was already divorced. She could create a better life for Cen Shuang so that she did not have to stay in the Zhuang family and swallow her anger.
Cen Shuang pursed her lips and concealed her nagging thoughts of Zhuang Hong. “Sis, you don’t know Zhuang Hong. He’s actually okay.”
Perhaps it was because she had stayed at the Zhuang family for too long, but she did not feel the slightest bit dissatisfied with her current life. Perhaps it was because she had lowered her expectations when she married into the Zhuang family.
Cen Zhu looked at her helplessly and said, “I admit that the Zhuang family treats you well. I also remember how your mother-in-law helped us. However, Shuang Shuang, giving up your love life is not how you show gratitude. You can’t throw away your life’s happiness just because you want to repay the Zhuang family.”
It was already unfortunate that the Cen family’s daughters encountered such setbacks. However, Cen Shuang still deserved happiness!
Cen Zhu’s words made Cen Shuang fall into deep thought. Was she only grateful to Zhuang Hong? When Zhuang Hong brought back her dress for her, she was indeed very touched. She even thought of staying in the Zhuang family to take care of him for the rest of her life. She could do it too. It seemed that she was really too touched because the Zhuang family treated her too well, that was why she was thinking of staying in the Zhuang family. Cen Zhu was right. Before she got married, she had never met Zhuang Hong, nor did she have any feelings for him. All she knew was that Lan Yibai had taken care of her after she married into the Zhuang family. She had no worries about food and clothing in the Zhuang family. After Zhuang Hong woke up, he took care of her too. She was obviously a poor girl, but after the Cen corporation went bankrupt, she did not have any debts. She was not oppressed, and under the protection of the Zhuang family, people did not mock her as much anymore. She was truly grateful toward the Zhuang family and this showed in how she treated Zhuang Hong. She was grateful towards the Zhuang family and Zhuang Hong, so she was not in love with Zhuang Hong. She did not even understand what love was.
“Sis, I understand. I will revitalize the Cen family with you.” Nothing was more important than the Cen family. As for her uncertain feelings towards Zhuang hong, Cen Shuang wanted to thank Zhuang Hong properly. Then, she would leave the Zhuang family with peace of mind.
Cen Shuang accompanied Cen Zhu in the apartment and sorted out the printing and dyeing materials that the Cen family had left behind. It was their legacy, as part of the 100-year-old Cen family, to start a factory. They had some experience when it came to this.
Cen Zhu looked at the thick paper in front of her. “I want to open an online shop after the factory starts. We will sell the fabrics produced by our factory and the clothes that we cut ourselves.”
These things were very complicated, but at this moment, they were the motivation for her daily life. She really needed this opportunity to devote herself to her work. When she lived with the Lu family, she had spent the five years concealing her brilliance. She listened to her mother-in-law and became an obedient daughter-in-law to the Lu family.
The Lu family’s mother and son did not want her to go to the company and show her face in public, so she was willing to give up her hard-earned doctorate in management and leave her father’s Cen corporation just to be a good wife in their eyes. After a long time, even she herself became numb because of this way of thinking. How could she know that a woman who had lost herself was no longer attractive? Men were used to seeing her at home, and she had long forgotten that she used to shine.
Cen Shuang suddenly said, “Sis, what do you think of us making Hanfu? If we only make silk, that would make our factory more relevant in the market.”
Silk was extremely complicated and exquisite in terms of raw materials and production. In fact, they could make some low-quality and easy-to-sell fabrics in the beginning. To them, producing silk would be a huge obstacle at the beginning.
Cen Zhu looked at Cen Shuang in surprise and asked curiously, “Why do you want to make silk?”
She thought Cen Shuang would be conservative and careful. Making the simplest ordinary fabric or linen would be more stable.
Cen Shuang pondered for a moment. After a moment, she said, “Although silk is not easy to make, it is comfortable and elegant. Our country’s silk is very beautiful and oriental. Moreover, Hanfu is getting more and more popular among Chinese and foreigners. I can definitely create and oversee the production of good silk products that are of my own design.”
