The Jade Daughter

Yue's fashion career is only just starting and her next focus would be on the upcoming Winter Fashion Show.

For the following days she was busy drafting designs and doing market research.

Today, she was asked to visit the commoner's night bazaar.

She was used to roaming around such place when she was still in Country F but this would be her first time in her own country.

Back then, they were not allowed to go out in the orphanage without specific business and she was less likely to explore during her modeling days. She was strictly monitored by her manager lest she ate snacks and gain some weight.

The one Yue went into is an annual bazaar, it's because the city is celebrating the floral festival.

A whole street was closed down and products around the country were being sold, needless to say, besides the different local cuisines, one can also see the unique fashion culture of each province.

Yue hopped from one food stall to another but is also observing the fashion trend.

Yue also bought some rare materials that she can use in her designs.

Although the prices are inflated taking advantage of the event, she was able to haggle it down to its original value.

Just because she has money now doesn't mean she can spend it thoughtlessly, and if she wanted to sell her designs, she also needed to consider the costing of materials.

Amidst her shopping, she suddenly heard a commotion. Then she saw people parting ways.

One man was running while holding a bag.

Instead of apprehending the man, the people chose to stay out of trouble.

Yue extended her foot to trip the man, unfortunately, he managed to evade her but that let him slow down a bit.

Now Yue didn't intend to run after the thief but she gave signal to her bodyguards and they caught the man.

Yue already dialed the police and just waiting for the owner of the bag to catch up.

It has been some time before Yue saw a fragile lady on the verge of losing her breath but still managed to maintain her fairy like aura.

She really looks out-of-place in a commoner's bazaar.

Not only because she looks extraordinary, but because she was a walking multi-million-dollar doll.

Although her attire and accessories are purposed to be low key, but Yue can see that all of it are limited edition.

The woman's hairclip alone, a 3-carat Burmese ruby fashioned as a honeysuckle dangling along with her hair, if Yue is not mistaken, should be the one auctioned for $3 million in the Country R's Charity Ball last year.

Needless to say about her bag, shoes, and watch, which are included in the 100th year anniversary fashion collection by Neia, an established name in the fashion industry popular to nobles and the wealthy.

Each designer piece is only limited to five.

With all the clues presented, Yue can almost identify the woman in front of her.

She was surprised to see someone who was not supposed to be here.

But Yue decided to not to reveal the lady's identity unless she decided to disclose it herself.

"Hi- I – well" the lady was yet too catch her breath.

"It's alright, take it easy" Yue thought that the young lady has a really weak constitution and it matches the description of the person she has in mind.

"Yes" the lady took a minute to calm down.

"I believe this is yours" Yue handed the bag to its owner.

"Yes, thank you" the lady was relieved to receive her bag and stared at Yue favorably.

"Your welcome" Yue can see that the lady really loves and takes good care of her collections.

The lady seems to be pondering about something but before she managed to say more the police came.

"We're the police, someone reported about a thief" a group of respectable men came showing their badge to identify themselves.

"Hi officers. This man here tried to stole this lady's bag" Yue pointed to the man in the hands of her bodyguard. And then handed him over to the police.

The police are surprised to find the man perfectly subdued.

The thief unfortunately encountered two young misses from a big family.

"Thank you for helping us miss. If you could please kindly cooperate with us by giving your statement in the police station" the officer didn't intend to make a fuss at the bazaar and directly invited them to deal with the case.

"Well, this lady here is actually the victim. I just helped, well, my bodyguard here caught the thief, that's all" Yue still wanted to check on other stores so she presented the real victim to assist the police.

"If that is the case, then please leave your name and contact information then you may go" the police understood that there's not much for Yue to do and let his colleague collect her information.

"Sure" Yue gave her ID to the other officer so that she won't have to reveal her name to the crowd.

The officer who took her card showed a surprise look and turn to her but still kept his professional attitude and recorded her information.

"And as for the miss here, please come with us to the police station" the officer turned to the victim.

"I-but" the woman seemed stunned with what's happening and when she heard about going to the police station exhibited some fear.

Then she looked at Yue for help.

Yue knew what's going on in her mind.

Her head started to ache.

"That, Miss, can you please accompany me to the police station? I also wanted to invite you for dinner to show my gratitude" after a while the lady found her voice and confidence.

"I only eat the finest food" Yue knew the moment she meddled with someone's affair that she is responsible for the follow up. She tried to extract herself but fate didn't let her so she just had to make the most out of it. Besides, maybe it wasn't so bad to get acquainted with the only daughter of the Rapport Family of Country Y.

This family was known to own the biggest jade mine in the world.

But despite owning the world's riches, this family is barely blessed with offspring.

For the 4th generation, there's only the sickly daughter and her elder brother.

The whole family protects their offspring really well so Yue didn't expect to see her here without her bodyguards especially in a foreign country. It seems that the lady sneaked on her own, and how she managed that was a mystery.

"Yes, please leave it to me" the lady smiled happily seeming to found a friend.

"Alright" Yue agreed also smiling.

They didn't spend a lot of time in the police station. Just a brief statement on how things happened and official filing of the lawsuit. Since the man was a repeat offender, it was eventually decided that he can spent his life in jail up to ten years.

"I owe you a lot Miss Yue. I know it's a simple thing but once again let me invite you for dinner as a sign of my gratitude. Is there a restaurant where you would like to eat? Lucia said that she would make the arrangement but realized that she should prioritize what Yue preferred since she is returning her a favor.

Yue smiled mysteriously.

"Follow me" since Lucia most likely escaped to experience an ordinary life, Yue will let her do so.

They had exchanged names during the process of waiting, but the lady of the Rapport Family provided a fake name, even to the police.

It wasn't surprising for Yue since the lady's identity is special and sensitive.

But what she's wearing really screams of who she is. Fortunately, she met her and not some bad guy, except for the thief, and that, only a small number of population in this area can recognize her articles.

Yue brought Lucia to a dim sum restaurant.

The place had been making dim sum for generations and is popular in the area. It was actually hard to get a seat there and they have to line up. Fortunately, it was already past the peak hours, still, they waited for almost half an hour just to get inside.

Lucia can't help but stare around the place. She didn't expect that Yue brought her to such a simple place since she seems to be someone with wealth given that she was protected by bodyguards. This is what she wanted to do though, so she was happy with Yue's choice. Besides, the place is neat and clean, and just the smell of food already makes her drool.

"This is also my first time going to this place but it had been running for generations so we can be assured of its taste. I hope you won't mind that I brought you here" this place is included in Yue's itinerary for today so she was glad she still ended up dining here and she tried to introduce it to Lucia.

"No, no, it's good. I like the place at a glance" Lucia truthfully didn't despise.

"Their menu offers a lot, you can also tell them if there's anything that you're not allowed to eat to avoid ruining your health" since Lucia had a weak constitution, Yue wanted to make sure that she won't get agitated with any food she would eat here and also to avoid trouble.

Lucia showed a puzzling look to Yue.

Not anyone would consider her health especially for a stranger she has barely known.
