Time flies, and soon it's the day of Mrs. Wilson's birthday party.
Luo Qiao specially dressed up, wearing a cheongsam she bought in Shanghai and brought an exquisitely framed embroidery as a gift, which she hurriedly finished stitching in her spare time these days.
Mrs. Wilson really liked the gift, and even showed the embroidery to her friends at the party, who couldn't stop praising how beautiful it was.
One of the ladies mentioned after viewing it: "A few days ago, at an auction in New York, a piece of embroidery was sold for sixty thousand dollars."
The people around exclaimed, "Oh my, that is indeed a high price."
That lady took a closer look at the embroidery in Mrs. Wilson's hands: "I think the stitching on your piece is even more exquisite than the one at the auction, though that piece was much larger."
Mrs. Wilson took it as a compliment and smiled, "I'll have it hung up soon."
