Touch of Riches Chapter 16

This kind of jewelry store is very European in style, with special glass counters. The furnishings inside the store are quite European and petty bourgeois, with gorgeous velvet curtains, European antique furniture, and crystal chandeliers. It not only sells jewelry, but also has shelves of Western-style dresses, which is probably similar to a small prototype of a department store.

Just looking through the window, Wanyue felt that it was not a high-end place for people like her to set foot in. It was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and there were no customers in the store. The gorgeous saleswomen wearing special cheongsams were preparing to go off work. In the 1920s, when people's minds were still very conservative, independent women who dared to find jobs on their own appeared on this street. It must be said that the local atmosphere was very fashionable, but the atmosphere inside the Xiao family was barbaric and brutal.

The entire Xiaocheng is really a collection of contradictions.

"This is Western Street, so the men and women on this street have more advanced ideas, like those in Shanghai." Nathan Xiao explained to the surprised Wanyue, "After all, this is the territory of the foreign masters. Some of their civilized concepts in the West at this time are indeed progressive for our country."

"Master, everything you say makes perfect sense." Wanyue said admiringly.
