111: The ugly duckling turns into a white swan

Lunch was lavish, and Nguyen Thi Trinh also showcased her cooking skills. A golden-fried pork chop with a thick sauce looked very appetizing.

Nguyen Thi Linh, as always, attended to Li Qinghe. Now, whenever she was with Li Qinghe, her life revolved around him.

It could be said that everywhere she looked, all she saw was Li Qinghe.

Watching Nguyen Thi Linh bustling about, Nguyen Thi Trinh also followed along, learning. She seemed to understand why Nguyen Thi Linh was Da Mi Fan.

To avoid the issue of the three of them sharing a table, Nguyen Thi Linh did not sit down to eat. She only began eating after serving Li Qinghe.

Not everyone could provide such attentive care to a man, but fortunately, she was willing to do so.

After lunch, Nguyen Thi Trinh followed Nguyen Thi Linh and began busy cleaning. She wanted to quickly integrate into this family.

When Li Qinghe said that the betrothal gift issue had been resolved, Nguyen Thi Trinh felt like her pores were singing. When Li Qinghe then said her father would not randomly come looking for her, Nguyen Thi Trinh knew that her life was now free from constraints.

After eating, Nguyen Thi Trinh and Nguyen Thi Linh tidied up the dishes and cleaned. Nguyen Thi Trinh was used to doing housework at home, and the two quickly finished clearing the table. Li Qinghe's bottle of cola was not even finished yet.

After eating and resting for a while, Li Qinghe asked Nguyen Thi Trinh about her specific situation, and only then did he learn that she was two months younger than Nguyen Thi Linh.

After graduating from high school, she worked for a month at a coffee shop in Xiangyang County, but she stopped because the boss withheld her wages.

Normally, she helped with farm work at home until last month, when her father traded her for a betrothal gift of one hundred million vietnamese dong.

Nguyen Thi Trinh, who secretly ran to the neighboring town to see her future husband, had all her beautiful aspirations and yearnings for love and marriage completely shattered upon seeing that man.

Later, she cried and made a fuss with her father, but he remained unmoved, insisting that she marry that old man.

Nguyen Thi Trinh, who had become desperate, heard that Nguyen Thi Linh, who had gone out to work, had returned, bringing with her a tall and handsome man.

More importantly, Nguyen Thi Linh's man had returned driving a large car.

This made Nguyen Thi Trinh, who had almost resigned herself to her fate, suddenly see hope again. She felt that as long as she also went out to work, she would quickly be able to pay off the one hundred million vietnamese dong betrothal gift.

As a result of her search and communication, she ended up becoming Li Qinghe's Rice Noodles.

After understanding the cruelty of the outside world, Nguyen Thi Trinh felt that there was nothing wrong with following Li Qinghe. He was tall and handsome, just the way she liked.

More importantly, Li Qinghe was rich, and he was willing to spend money on his women.

This could be seen from Nguyen Thi Linh and Nguyen Thi Thuy.

And from the two hundred and fifty million in cash that morning, Nguyen Thi Trinh sensed that Li Qinghe could always produce more money, but he would not do so for her father's greed.

As for Li Qinghe's actions in dealing with her father, Nguyen Thi Trinh only wanted to applaud with both hands and feet in agreement.

Because her father's act of selling her had completely hurt Nguyen Thi Trinh's heart, and her mother and brother's indifference, even their somewhat fanning the flames attitude, had also completely chilled Nguyen Thi Trinh's heart.

Now, she only wanted to follow Li Qinghe and leave her hometown far behind, leave that home far behind.

Half an hour after dinner, Li Qinghe drove Nguyen Thi Linh and Nguyen Thi Trinh back to Xiangyang County.

At the largest clothing store in Xiangyang County, he bought Nguyen Thi Trinh several sets of fashionable clothes.

Although the infrastructure had not yet caught up, in a county town like Xiangyang, the fashion trends for clothing were still keeping pace.

When Nguyen Thi Trinh, who was trying on clothes, walked out of the changing room, Li Qinghe felt his eyes light up.

Nguyen Thi Trinh was wearing a white short T-shirt, a floral hip-hugging skirt, and a pair of simple white sandals on her feet, with a small white cross-body bag.

Although she wasn't very tall, her proportions were excellent, and the long legs beneath her short skirt were both white and straight.

Her whole demeanor exuded a simple, playful girlish charm, completely different from the morning.

Nguyen Thi Trinh

"A Trinh, you're really beautiful."

Nguyen Thi Linh stepped forward to praise Nguyen Thi Trinh. This outfit was one she had helped Nguyen Thi Trinh pick out.

Ever since she learned how to dress from A Ying, and with Li Qinghe's strong financial backing, Nguyen Thi Linh had many opportunities to practice styling.

On days when Li Qinghe wasn't home, she would meet A Ying to go shopping for clothes, dressing herself up as a glamorous urban girl.

So, Nguyen Thi Linh's styling skills were growing stronger by the day. With just a casual pairing, she created a completely different Nguyen Thi Trinh.

Of course, this had a lot to do with Nguyen Thi Trinh's inherent beauty. Just like an ugly duckling turning into a swan, the ugly duckling must first have the potential to be a swan to achieve it.

If Nguyen Thi Trinh wasn't pretty enough, no matter how Nguyen Thi Linh styled her, she wouldn't be able to create a beauty, unless she went to Thailand or Korea for a few surgeries to change her face and get some fillers.

Li Qinghe looked at Nguyen Thi Trinh, who seemed like a completely different person, and nodded with satisfaction. This beauty, this figure, was well worth the tens of thousands of dragon country currency he spent.

In addition to this outfit, Nguyen Thi Linh also picked out several sets of completely different styles of clothing for Nguyen Thi Trinh.

By the end, Nguyen Thi Trinh felt a bit tired. She had never tried on so many clothes at once in her life.

Finally, Nguyen Thi Linh made the decision and chose 9 outfits for Nguyen Thi Trinh, including skirt suits, dresses, T-shirts, jeans, and matching bags and shoes.

This large pile of items cost Li Qinghe nearly twenty million vietnamese dong, which is over five thousand dragon country currency.

Li Qinghe originally wanted Nguyen Thi Linh to buy some clothes for herself, but Nguyen Thi Linh said that she had already bought enough clothes in Hanoi and had brought a lot back this time, so she didn't need to buy any more.

Nguyen Thi Trinh stood amidst the large pile of clothing bags, looking a bit at a loss.

She hadn't expected Li Qinghe to be willing to buy her so many new clothes at once.

After her bewilderment came a huge sense of happiness that enveloped her.

Nguyen Thi Linh looked at the overjoyed Nguyen Thi Trinh, a slight smile appearing at the corner of her mouth. Today's Nguyen Thi Trinh was like yesterday's Nguyen Thi Linh; she could empathize with that feeling.

The clothing store staff, who had just made a substantial sale, voluntarily helped carry the large pile of clothing bags to Li Qinghe's car.

Nguyen Thi Linh helped Nguyen Thi Trinh tear off all the tags from her clothes, letting her wear this beautiful outfit directly out. The previous clothes and shoes were left for the staff to handle.

"A Trinh, I feel like I don't even know how to walk anymore."

Wearing a pair of low-heeled sandals, Nguyen Thi Trinh walked out a little awkwardly.

"A Trinh, you'll get used to it if you walk a few more steps. When you walk, you should hold your head high, chest out, and keep your back straight."

Nguyen Thi Linh smiled and demonstrated a few walking movements.

Being tall with long legs, her walk had a unique elegance; she looked like a model.

Li Qinghe watched, a sense of pride swelling within him. He had personally transformed this innocent girl into the graceful urban beauty she was now.

"A Ling, call Mom and see if she's finished her business. Tell her a place, and we'll go pick her up."

"Okay, Brother."

Twenty minutes later, Li Qinghe picked up Tran Thi Bao Anh outside the Xiangyang County Committee.

She was standing by the roadside, beaming, waiting for everyone. Ho Anh Tuan stood humbly not far away, his minivan parked a few meters away in a parking space.

"A-He, A Ling, our house can start construction tomorrow."
