Chapter 688 So short of money?
Feng's mother said with a mix of pride and helplessness, "I really didn't lie to you. I haven't had a facelift, I haven't had any skin whitening treatments, and I haven't even been to a beauty salon recently. The reason I look like this is because I've been using a skincare product that's not available on the market."
"Skincare products that aren't available on the market?"
The ladies exchanged glances, clearly not believing what Madam Feng had said.
Madam Feng didn't mind and simply had the maid go upstairs to bring down the newly acquired medicinal mud and perfume.
Everyone waited excitedly for a while, but were greatly disappointed when they saw the actual product.
The bottle containing the medicinal mud was made by Ye Wanxi herself; it was ordinary and nothing special.
Most importantly, there were no markings or labels on it, making it look like a... counterfeit product.
Mrs. Li, who initially inquired about the beauty salon, finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Is this the skincare Mrs. Feng was talking about? What brand is it? Why doesn't it even have a brand logo?"
Could it be that they are deliberately keeping it a secret and are unwilling to reveal the secret to getting younger to them?
Mrs. Feng saw through her little scheme at a glance, a hint of sarcasm and disdain flashing in her eyes: "This was specially made for me by my daughter-in-law. It's a personal product, so naturally there's no brand mark on it."
"Your daughter-in-law made this for you?" The group exchanged surprised glances. "The same daughter-in-law who gave you the jade bracelet and Yi Huan's violet jadeite? She can make these?"
Mrs. Feng raised her chin with even more pride upon hearing this: "My daughter-in-law knows so many things. Besides this medicinal mud, this perfume was also a gift from her. Knowing that I like the scent of lilies, she specially mixed a lily fragrance for me. Smell it, don't I smell like lilies right now?"
The ladies sitting close to Mrs. Feng sniffed unconsciously upon hearing this: "It really is. We were far away just now, so the scent was faint. I thought it was the smell of lilies in your garden. I didn't expect it to be coming from you. I must say, it smells quite nice. It doesn't have much of an artificial fragrance; it's more like a natural floral scent."
Mrs. Feng smiled slightly and said, "If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have sprayed it on myself."
"Is this thing really that amazing?"
“I’m living proof right here, and you still don’t believe me? What can I do?” As she spoke, Mrs. Feng casually rolled up the sleeve of her right hand, revealing her hand, which was a shade lighter than her skin. “My daughter-in-law said that this mud can not only be used as a face mask, but also as a hand and back massage. I had an old scar on this hand before, didn’t I? I used it for a month, and it was gone.”
Sitting next to Madam Feng, Mrs. Qiu's heart skipped a beat when she heard this: "This stuff can remove scars?"
Mrs. Feng paused for a moment, then said uncertainly, "It should be possible. My scar has indeed faded a lot and is almost invisible now. Other people's constitutions are different, so I can't make a definitive conclusion, but whitening and moisturizing are definitely achievable."
At the housewarming party that day, besides her, Du Yihuan also received a box of medicinal mud.
After using them, the effects were similar, except that Feng's mother was older and looked much younger after using them, while Du Yihuan was young and there was no significant difference on the surface.
But if you were to touch her skin, you would find that it is no exaggeration to say that her skin is so smooth and delicate.
As for scar removal, since Du Yihuan didn't have any old scars like hers, Feng's mother wasn't sure if the ointment was effective for everyone or just happened to be effective for her.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Madam Qiu's eyes, yet she couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope.
While the example of Feng's mother is certainly appealing, many people still have some doubts about whether these wealthy women, who are used to using major cosmetic brands, can completely let go of their reservations and use a substandard product based on just a few words.
Especially since this product was made by Mrs. Feng's future daughter-in-law, just by looking at Mrs. Feng's attitude when she talks about this future daughter-in-law, you can see how satisfied she is with her and how much she admires her.
What if this thing also contains some filter material?
The other ladies were tempted but hesitant, and dared not say anything before making a decision. But at this moment, someone made a foolish move, staring longingly at the medicinal paste in Madam Feng's hand and saying, "Madam Feng, can we try this medicinal paste?"
The speaker was still the same aggressive Mrs. Li from before, and the atmosphere in the back garden instantly quieted down because of her words.
The smile on Feng's mother's face vanished instantly: "Trial?"
Madam Li seemed oblivious to the problem, and even thought her idea was brilliant: "Yes, Madam Feng, you've said so much, why don't we experience it for ourselves before we can make a decision?"
"What are your plans?" Feng's mother's expression had turned completely cold. "I'm not going to sell it to you, why would I let you try it out?"
Her purpose in bringing these people here today was nothing more than to show off; she herself felt embarrassed to have asked Ye Wanxi for this thing.
What gave her the illusion that she would ask her future daughter-in-law for her sake?
Most importantly, not only did she have designs on her own things, but she also didn't trust her and wanted to try them out before buying them. It's utterly ridiculous and shameless.
Upon hearing Madam Feng's words, Madam Li finally realized that she might have misunderstood something. But how could she admit that she had been presumptuous in front of so many people?
He gritted his teeth and said, "I can buy it with money."
Madam Feng exclaimed as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world: "Does Madam Li think that my Feng family is short of such a small amount of money?"
Madam Li was stunned and couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal. The Feng family's company was the largest and richest among all of them present. If even the Feng family was short of money, then they would probably have to become beggars.
Mother Feng was too lazy to talk to the idiot, so she stood up and said, "I'm not feeling well, let's call it a day, and get together again next time."
The blatant order to leave was somewhat embarrassing, but none of the people present could say anything, because most of them understood Madam Feng's actions.
It's just that someone is too stupid. I knew she was stupid, but I didn't know she could be this stupid. It's a wonder the Li family didn't go bankrupt because of her stupidity.
Of course, the most important thing is that they simply couldn't resist the temptation to become younger and more beautiful.
The fact that Madam Feng dismissed them so decisively only made them more certain that the medicinal mud in her hand was a good thing.
They had a chance to get closer to Mrs. Feng and ask her to help them order a meal, but now it's all ruined.
Thinking this way, the ladies looked at Mrs. Li with even more disdain and contempt.
