Rebirth of a Fashionista: This Life Is Soo Last Season

Chapter 2 - The First Step of a Transformation

Suddenly, a creak was heard as a door opened.

Sheng Jiaoyang was right in the middle of wiping her hair dry in the bathroom and was startled. Leaning out of the bathroom, she saw Xu Qing entering through the front door.

"How come you're back?" Wasn't she going to work? It wasn't even 4 p.m yet, and when Xu Qing had left, it was almost 1 p.m. It takes about two hours to make a round trip.

When Xu Qing heard her daughter's voice, the stern expression quickly vanished from her face, and she forced a smile as she answered, "The boss let us off early today."

"Oh," Sheng Jiaoyang absentmindedly said as she continued to dry her hair.

Having a bath wasn't easy for her as after searching around in the narrow kitchen for a while, she finally managed to find an electric kettle to boil water with.

The most terrible part though, was that after she'd finished bathing, she discovered that Xu Jiaojiao didn't own any skincare products!

"Jiaojiao, didn't you eat this afternoon?" It was at this moment that Xu Qing noticed that the food arranged on the table hadn't been touched.

Sheng Jiaoyang hung the towel on the wall, and as she left the bathroom with her bangs still damp, she casually said, "No appetite."

Xu Qing stared blankly at Sheng Jiaoyang, feeling that the daughter currently standing in front of her was somewhat different to the daughter she'd left behind when she went to work. Scrutinizing her daughter, she suddenly noticed the clothes on her daughter's body. "Your clothes..."

"I just modified some old clothes." Sheng Jiaoyang pointed at the discarded pieces of material on the floor beside the bedside.

"Oh, right!" Sheng Jiaoyang looked towards Xu Qing. "One of my old teachers called to tell me to come pick up my university admission notice. Since you came back early, you can accompany me to school."

"The admission notices are already out? That's great; we'll go now then!" Once she'd heard about the admission notice, Xu Qing was pleasantly surprised.

The corner of Sheng Jiaoyang's mouth slightly curled upwards.

After following Xu Qing and walking through several twisting alleyways, they finally arrived at the back gate of the school. Sheng Jiaoyang was surprised when she found out that Xu Jiaojiao's school wasn't all that far away from where she lived.

When Xu Qing stopped, Sheng Jiaoyang promptly said, "Teacher said that he was waiting for us in the office."

Sure enough, Xu Qing once again took the lead and they walked towards a building not far from the gate.

When the teacher who'd called Sheng Jiaoyang saw her, he was sitting behind an office desk waving her over with one hand, while he hung up the phone with his other hand.

"Teacher Jiao," Xu Qing took the initiative and greeted him first.

Teacher Jiao raised his head, and seeing the two of them together, he smiled. "Jiaojiao's mother also came."

"We're sorry for troubling Teacher Jiao with waiting here."

"It's no problem at all. The first batch of admission letters have just arrived, and as their teacher, the last thing I can do for the children is hand the notice letters to them personally."

Xu Qing nodded, gazing at the admission notice under Teacher Jiao's hands with expectation.

Teacher Jiao noticed Xu Qing's gaze. Chuckling, he handed over Xu Jiaojiao's admission notice while stating, "Jiaojiao's exam results were pretty good; she's been admitted to our province's most prominent F University."
