Chapter 87 Going Shopping

"Eat up and then change," Xu Ying said, watching her mother with a sense of urgency that was even greater than her own. She found it quite endearing. Was this really about taking her out shopping, or was it more about showing off a bit?

Xu Ying finished her last bite of steamed bun, took a sip of watery rice porridge, belched contentedly, and then turned and went back to her room.

Opening her wardrobe revealed a closet full of dresses hanging neatly in place.

Xu Ying eventually chose a light blue long-sleeved dress with lace trim, slipped on some stockings, and put on a pair of little leather shoes.

She looked in the mirror at the pretty girl reflected back at her and smiled with satisfaction. Xu Ying's greatest pride was her face, which had inherited all of the best features from both her father and her mother.

"Wow, my daughter looks so beautiful," Mrs. Xu said as she watched her daughter head out, her eyes dumbfounded with pride.
