Chapter 88 Why Am I So Good-Looking
Lu Mingyi's face was extremely ugly, as if he was about to rush up and punch Lu Yanchuan twice at any moment.
Zhou Yan, standing to the side, kept a watchful eye on Lu Mingyi's movements while thinking, "So why did you have to provoke President Lu for no reason?"
The internal relationships within the Lu family are already quite complex.
Lu Yanchuan's grandmother, Wen Xiuyun, gave birth to Lu Heng, but Lu Yanchuan was her only son.
And the 'Old Madam Lu' in everyone's eyes at the Lu residence has given birth to three children over the years.
Two sons and one daughter: Lu Jikang, Lu Jiren, and Lu Jining.
Everything was done according to the generational naming conventions set in the Lu family genealogy. But it was no use; a son born out of wedlock is still a son born out of wedlock.
On the contrary, Lu Heng, born to Wen Xiuyun, did not follow the generational naming conventions at all.
From the very beginning, that gentle and mild-mannered woman had planned to take the child and leave the Lu family.
If it weren't for her in-laws stopping her, she probably would have even changed her surname.
Therefore, Lu Yanchuan did not follow the generational naming convention. On the other hand, even the grandchildren of Old Madam Lu were named according to the generational naming conventions in the family genealogy.
Lu Mingyi is the eldest son of Lu Jiren, the third uncle of the Lu family. He also has a younger brother, Lu Mingyong, who is not very capable.
He's the kind of person who's truly incompetent; any business he puts in his hands will fall apart.
He doesn't have the skills of a rich kid, but he has the bad habits of one: he loves to date minor celebrities.
And he doesn't like women.
Normally, liking men isn't a heinous crime, but he insisted on having affairs with minor celebrities.
Those are public figures; a slight misstep could lead to serious trouble.
Lu Mingyong has caused trouble more than once or twice, and it has always been Lu Yanchuan who has the public relations department clean up his messes and wipe his backsides.
Lu Mingyong realized that even if he messed up, nothing would happen to him, so he became even more reckless.
Lu Yanchuan always cleaned up his messes without ever complaining.
Lu Mingyong sometimes felt quite grateful to this cousin.
How could I not be grateful? It helps the Lu family make money so they can go out and squander it, and if he gets into trouble, it helps him smooth things over.
He's even better than a biological brother, while his biological brother would only call him brainless and useless!
Lu Mingyong is truly...brainless. He treats Lu Yanchuan as his savior, as his own brother.
Now, Lu Yanchuan has so much leverage over us!
Lu Mingyi cursed his brother as a good-for-nothing in his heart!
However, she could only swallow her anger at Lu Yanchuan's words. Anyway, the family gathering was at the end of the month, and she could deal with Lu Yanchuan then.
He wasn't the only one dissatisfied with Lu Yanchuan!
Not long after Lu Yanchuan left the conference room and returned to his office, Tang Yao sent him a message to report.
[Boss, your wife has been taken to a high-end salon by President Qu.]
A salon? What was Qu Xiang taking her to a salon for?
Lu Yanchuan felt that he was so busy with work every day that he was probably living a bit of a muddle.
I sent a message in the group.
Lu Yanchuan: [When was that Jianggao alumni reunion you mentioned?]
Li Chaolun: [Today]
Rong Hengyu: [Today]
Liang Qian: [today]
Xin Yang: [Brother Chuan has completely forgotten, hahaha, he's lost track of time!]
Su Yi: [Shall I come pick you up?]
Lu Yanchuan sighed softly. It was true, he'd completely forgotten.
Lu Yanchuan: [No need]
Lu Yanchuan didn't plan to attend his own class's reunion, but he inquired about other ones.
In the salon.
Shen Li lay on the massage bed, letting the beautician massage her smooth back with essential oils, which was very comfortable.
Qu Xiang was lying on the beauty bed next to her, doing the same activity.
Shen Li asked in surprise, "Does getting your hair styled have to be this complicated?"
“This isn’t trouble, this is enjoyment,” Qu Xiang said. “What’s the use of having money if you don’t enjoy it? Can you say this isn’t comfortable?”
Shen Li took a moment to consider it, and said, "That's much better than the last time you took me to find a duck."
Not to mention Qu Xiang, even the beautician couldn't help but laugh.
“I’ll give you my card later, and you can come over for a massage whenever you have time. That line of work involves sitting there all day, so your muscles get stiff,” Qu Xiang said.
Shen Li thought for a moment, then said without being polite, "That works too."
Qu Xiang was a regular customer, and the beautician recognized her, so she asked, "Ms. Qu, what industry does your friend work in?"
"Her?" Qu Xiang laughed, "is someone who plays in the mud."
Shen Li smiled and replied, "I make pottery."
Qu Xiang brought her here to enjoy the treatment, which lasted almost five hours, from skincare and styling to overall look.
Shen Li was exhausted.
I was still half asleep when I heard the stylist say, "All done."
"Hmm?" Shen Li groggily opened her eyes and looked at the person in the mirror.
Qu Xiang laughed from the side, "Wow, not bad, you're going to outshine everyone today."
Shen Li stared at herself in the mirror.
Qu Xiang asked, "How do you feel?"
Shen Li stood up, leaned closer to look, and then slowly said, "I just want to sing a song."
Qu Xiang asked, "What song?"
Shen Li spoke in a serious and unhurried manner, "How come I... am so beautiful! What should I do if I'm so beautiful!"
Qu Xiang almost choked on her own saliva while laughing. She realized that Shen Li seemed to be finally regaining her former vitality.
Before marrying Lu Yanchuan, Shen Li was not a particularly calm and refined person.
In front of Qu Xiang and He Xun, she always displayed a mischievous and playful spirit.
It feels very energetic.
After marrying Lu Yanchuan, her energy, mischievousness, and cleverness likely met with repeated setbacks in front of the Lu family and Lu Yanchuan.
Gradually, these traits in her personality settled down, transforming her into the quiet and gentle persona they saw in her.
"Let's go." Qu Xiang was also very satisfied with Shen Li's look today.
The two walked out of the salon together.
As Shen Li walked towards the parking lot with Qu Xiang, she paused and glanced in one direction as if sensing something.
"What's wrong?" Qu Xiang asked.
Shen Li shook her head. "It's nothing."
It might just be my imagination, but I felt like someone was watching me just now...
Shen Li thought helplessly that her outfit today was probably really good-looking, and she was starting to experience one of the great illusions of humankind—that someone was secretly watching her.
Shen Li got into the car, and Qu Xiang drove towards the agreed-upon location for the gathering. The two discussed whether they should give Lao Jin a birthday gift.
Shen Li quickly put that feeling out of her mind.
Soon after, Lu Yanchuan received a message from Tang Yao on his phone.
First, there was a photo. Because it was taken from a distance, Lu Yanchuan's expression didn't change much in the small image.
When Lu Yanchuan opened the large image and zoomed in, his expression changed slightly.
Tang Yao then sent a text message: [My wife finished her hair and makeup at the salon. She looks beautiful and will definitely be the center of attention at the party.]
Lu Yanchuan: "..." He was both amazed by the photos and annoyed by Tang Yao's words.
Who asked you? I ask you, who asked for your opinion or viewpoint?!
