Chapter 148 - Knockoffs will always be copycats only
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After Lawyer Luo left, Wen Xinya returned to her own room.
When she entered her room, she was shocked. Her entire room had changed and was fully renovated. The ceiling was covered in rare boxwood, extremely delicate. The brown color of the wood was not visible to the naked eye, and the gray color was opalescent, shockingly beautiful.
Boxwood was a super rare and famously precious wood type. Due to its slow growth rate, most of the boxwood items on the market today were crafted ornaments, used as decorations for embellishment.
The smell of the boxwood was light and elegant, and it also had the function of killing bacteria and sterilizing. Therefore, most rich people had at least one or two boxwood items!
The furniture was all made of precious walnut wood, with white edges, and its core gradients ranged from light brown to a chocolate brown. They were a perfect match for the boxwood ceiling.
In the middle of the room was an ebony bed. Its surface was lustrous and lubricious and felt like satin to touch. The wood was polished beautifully, reflecting like a bronze mirror, shining brightly with unpredictable black lines and swirls swimming across in a pattern. They formed famous mountains and rivers, flowing smoothly and naturally, humble and not boastful.
There was a carved wooden door beside the vanity. Wen Xinya pushed open the door, which led to the dressing room of almost 100 square meters. She entered the dressing room and was greeted by various styles of clothes that filled the wardrobes. These were all from famous luxury brands from all over the world, and the labels were not removed yet. Separated by a box at the bottom was a long row of a dozen valuable shoes placed on top of the shoe boxes.
She pulled open a drawer on her left, which contained dozens of accessories, ranging from headwear to earrings to necklaces to bracelets to rings. Everything one could ever think of was there.
Wen Xinya let out a long sigh—these must have been prepared by Grandpa!
Mother Wang was still unpacking her things when she saw Wen Xinya enter the room. “Miss, your Grandpa has ordered someone to renovate your room all over, and your mother’s items have been brought here too. I can bring you to them.”
Grandpa must really have recognized her in his heart and put in the effort to do all this. Wen Xinya nodded. “Thank you, Mother Wang!”
Mother Wang opened the drawer to the arm ornaments and pulled out another drawer right at the bottom. “Madam used to have quite a number of valuable jewelry which she gave to Miss Xia. Old Mr. Wen asked for them back one by one and sent them to the jewelry company to be washed and preserved before placing them in your room.”
Wen Xinya looked into the drawer and saw more than 20 boxes of different sizes and shapes. She opened one randomly, and it revealed a full set of blue star gemstone arm accessories. The deep gemstones radiated the light of a starry night sky, beautiful and dazzling.
She closed the box gently. It was obvious that the ornaments were very valuable. In her previous life, Grandpa did not give these to her—that wretch Xia Ruya must have benefitted!
“Oh right, Big Missus, Madam has also left behind a big box that is protected by a passcode. Miss Xia has also never opened it before. I’m not sure if you can open it either.” Mother Wang opened another drawer which contained her mother’s old items as well as a big suitcase!
She recognized that suitcase. It was the classic limited edition insurance travel suitcase from the French brand LV. It was no longer available in the market. Everyone who had ordered this design had their information and data recorded at the LV corporation. Each suitcase had its own unique password and could not be opened without that password.
Wen Xinya thought of a six-digit number and pressed it down. The suitcase opened with a bang!
Mother Wang was speechless. “Big Missus is clearly Madam’s child! You can even open the suitcase left behind by her!”
“It must be the mother-daughter connection!” The passcode was very simple—six zeroes. Zero was her mother’s favorite digit. She knew from Grampy that mother preferred simple things, and six zeros as the password were definitely the simplest. The password set by her mother could be easily guessed by those close to her.
Mother Wang nodded furiously. “Previously, Miss Xia put in a lot of effort to try and open this case. She even called the LV company, but they rejected her. They reasoned that this security password system was the safest in the world, and everyone had their own unique password. If the owner did not leave the passcode behind, the secret in the suitcase should be left to turn to dust.”
Wen Xinya smirked. Xia Ruya was greedy down to her bones and would certainly not let go of this suitcase. Doing something like that was normal. Her thin lips stretched further, and she scorned, “The knockoff will always be a copycat only.”
Mother Wang had always felt like there was more to Miss Xia’s personality and did not quite like her as well. She did not find any problems with Wen Xinya’s words. “Big Missus, your things have been almost all packed, so I’ll go make you some snacks now.”
Wen Xinya understood Mother Wang’s intentions—she didn’t want to disturb Wen Xinya while she looked through her mother’s old things. She smiled sincerely. “Thank you, Mother Wang!”
After Mother Wang had left, Wen Xinya opened the suitcase. She was not wrong, it was indeed a case of books. And these were vintage!
She flipped through them gently. These were various jewelry designs passed down from her great grandmother’s Zhou Family. They also contained the experience of the predecessors in designing jewelry, and the facts and introductions of many jade, gold, silver, and gemstone pieces. The content was rich and amazing!
In today’s society, where else could she find such rich knowledge of jewelry!
There were also a few of her mother’s design manuscripts and her experience with designing. In her previous life, Wen Xinya knew that her mother was the main reason for the Wen Family’s jewelry business development. Mother designed many famous and well-known jewelry pieces and accessories and helped the Wen Family’s jewelry business bloom at once. And this momentum was the cause for Wen Family’s jewelry business becoming a luxury brand today.
This was the most precious treasure her mother had left her. Mother knew that the Wen Family only cared about benefits and profits and had prepared this early.
historical
In her previous life, she had chosen a famous designing course in college and had even specialized in jewelry designing. Her teacher had praised her for her talent in jewelry designing and remarked that her designs had a special aura about them. She had even been offered a place to study at the Mingzhu Design Institute in France. Unfortunately, she was stupid back then and told this to Ning Shuqian. In the end, her place was given to someone else.
In this life, with the work her mother had left for her, she was confident to reach the peak of jewelry designing!
“Mother, I won’t disappoint you.” Wen Xinya looked at the box solemnly. Yes... Her mother had given her life, given her wealth, given her knowledge, given everything a mother could and couldn’t give a child. She was the luckiest child on earth.
