Chapter 56 The Art of Embroidery Almost as if guided by an unseen force , she asked , What about embroidery ? The man hesitated .
A perfectly good suit with an embroidered patch on the chest ? It didnt seem right .
But at this point , he had no other choice .
Gritting his teeth , he asked , What kind of embroidery can you do ? How good are you ? I can do Swish embroidery .
My skills … should be passable , I had learned Swish embroidery in Hoverdale Prison .
No matter how badly the other prisoners beat me , they never hurt my hands .
That was because my embroidery was the best in the prison .
Even the guards seemed to appreciate her hands But how good was I really ? Perhaps I was simply better than the other prisoners .
The man looked at her skeptically .
Swish embroidery ? Its one of the four great embroidery styles .
Are you sure you can do It wasnt that I doubted Lauren , but she was just too young .
As the saying goes .
Ten thousand taels of gold is not worth one box of Swish embroidery The process was incredibly difficult , the craftsmanship intricate , and the cost high .
It was often called soft gold .
The girl in front of him was only in her early twenties .
Mastering Swish embroidery was no easy feat .
Lauren didnt brag She simply said .
I dont know if I can do it , but the hole from the cigarette burn makes this suit unwearable for the banquet .
The man was speechless .
He couldnt argue with that .
It seemed that he had no choice but to trust her .
With a resigned sigh , the man handed his suit to Lauren and silently prayed .
Please let this work .
The auction tonight is too important for the president .
Lauren carefully examined the hole left by the cigarette burn , her fingers lightly tracing the surrounding fabric .
In her mind .
she was already sketching out the embroidery design .
Do you have any embroidery thread ? she asked the shopkeeper .
The shopkeeper nodded and brought her all the needles and thread she needed .
Lauren sat down at the table and concentrated .
Before she began , she split a single strand of thread into forty eight finer strands ..
This alone left the bespectacled man and the salesman in awe .
The mans heart raced with excitement .
Just from this one move , he could tell that Lauren wasnt an amateur ; she was a professional .
The needle in Laurens hand moved like a nimble fish , weaving through the black fabric .
Swish embroidery emphasized delicate needlework , even stitches , and vivid threads .
Each stitch Lauren made was precise , her touch just right .
The threads twisted and intertwined under her fingers , gradually forming an exquisite peony .
The petals were layered and lifelike , with golden threads subtly highlighting the stamen .
Under the light , it shimmered faintly as if it held morning dew , bringing the entire flower to life .
1/2 1227 PM Chapter 56 The Art of Embroidery Finished handed it to the man .
The man eagerly stepped forward .
When he saw the embroidery on the suit , his eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly .
He was completely stunned and amazed .
This … this is incredible ! This isnt just a repair ; its an improvement ! The shopkeepers around them also gasped in admiration , their eyes filled with respect as they looked at Lauren Lauren smiled faintly .
Im glad youre satisfied .
The man nodded repeatedly , so excited that he was almost speechless .
Thank you so much ! Youve saved me ! I … I dont know how to repay you .
How much do you want ? Lauren waved his hand .
Its nothing , just a small favor .
Think of it as my way of doing good deed .
Ive had too much on my mind lately .
This was a nice change After thanking Lauren profusely , the man hurried off .
When Lauren stepped out of the tailor shop , she noticed that it was already dark outside .
The streetlights had come on , casting a soft glow over the street She hailed another taxi and returned to the Bennett Residence , only to find that the entire family had already left for the auction without her .
Lauren didnt care .
If they didnt want to wait for me , then I simply wouldnt go But just as she was about to turn away , a car pulled up in front of her .
The window was rolled down , revealing the impatient face of the driver .
Get in .
Mr.
David and Madam Alice asked me to take you there .
Lauren stood still , her expression blank as she stared at him .
Get out and open the door for me .
The driver felt a chill under Laurens unwavering gaze but still replied , Dont you have hands ? Cant you open it yourself ? Lauren narrowed her eyes .
Even the driver dared to disrespect me .
It was clear that the Bennett family had given him the green light It seemed like the Bennett family still didnt understand the situation .
Right now , wasnt I the one begging them ; it was the other way around .
They needed me to marry into the Brooker family for the sake of the Bennett Corporations interests , yet they couldnt even show me basic respect .
Did they really think I was that easy to manipulate Send Gifts
