Xu Jingyan smiled gently, her lips curving upwards. She said softly, "Auntie, Sister Nian, I was strolling around with my friends when I received your call. I rushed over as soon as I got it. How about that? Pretty loyal, right? Oh, and I also brought two friends with me today. Let me introduce them to you."
As she spoke, Xu Jingyan turned slightly to the side and gently pulled Qiu Mang and Xiao Qiuli, who were standing behind her, to the front, so that they could show their faces.
Upon hearing this, Lu's mother instinctively turned her head, her gaze instantly drawn to it.
A beautiful young girl with an extremely pure appearance stood gracefully beside her, accompanied by a little girl with delicate features.
A gentle smile unconsciously appeared on Lu's mother's face as she sincerely praised, "This little sister is so beautiful. I've lived most of my life and this is the first time I've ever seen such a pure and charming girl. Jingyan, whose daughter is she? I don't remember her at all."
Lu Nian, standing to the side, kept her eyes closed. She wasn't curious at all about the friends Xu Jingyan had brought; they were just rich kids who usually splurged on money.
Just as Qiu Mang was about to introduce them, Xu Jingyan spoke up first, "Auntie, these two sisters are surnamed Qiu. The older sister is called Qiu Mang, and the younger sister is called Qiu Li. They are not from Guangcheng. They came here specifically to look for work."
Qiu Mang nodded slightly in acknowledgment and said politely and humbly, "Hello, Auntie, hello, Miss Lu. My hometown is a small county under Changshi. Everyone says there are more opportunities in Guangcheng, so I came here to work. I also brought my younger sister with me."
Xu Jingyan's lips curled slightly. Changshi was not a developed city, and the small counties under Changshi were even more synonymous with remoteness and poverty. Qiu Mang's way of introducing it was tantamount to exposing weaknesses.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, the light in Lu's mother's eyes dimmed slightly, and her tone turned cold. She simply replied, "Oh, I see."
Xu Jingyan took in the undisguised changes in Lu's mother's expression and secretly rejoiced.
She knew very well that Lu's mother had always had a deep-rooted concept of social class and was not scheming at all; her thoughts were written all over her face.
She deliberately brought Qiu Mang and her sister here today to make Qiu Mang give up all hope. Sure enough, Lu's mother's reaction did not disappoint her.
Xu Jingyan walked gracefully to Lu's mother's side and said with a smile, "Auntie, they are not only my friends, but also Yanting's friends. I took the liberty of bringing them over. You don't mind, do you?"
"Yan Ting's friend?"
Lu's mother frowned and glanced at Qiu Mang and her sister again. They didn't seem to have any connection with Lu Yanting at all.
Upon hearing this, Lu Nian opened her eyes and looked at the two of them.
In the soft light, the girl's pure and clean face appeared even more charming, while the little baby was so cute that one couldn't help but want to pinch her cheeks.
As a mother, seeing this little child who was about the same age as her daughter, Lu Nian's maternal love was instantly aroused.
A warm smile appeared on her lips. "Since you're all here, don't just stand there. Come and get a facial together!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Jingyan looked at Lu Nian, instantly switching to sweet girl mode, her face beaming with smiles, and said in a coquettish voice, "Oh, Sister Nian, I haven't seen you in so long since you've been abroad! You're getting more and more beautiful! By the way, didn't you say you had a baby? Did you bring the baby back this time?"
Lu Nian smiled and said, "She came back with us too. I was worried that she would be too bored with us adults, so I had the driver take her home first."
She then looked at Qiu Li, who was blinking her big eyes, and said gently, "If I had known there was a little cutie here, I should have kept her here earlier."
After saying that, Lu Nian turned to look at her beautician and calmly instructed, "Three beautiful ladies have arrived. Go and make arrangements."
The beautician immediately understood, leaned close to an employee standing at the door, whispered a few words of advice, and the employee hurriedly turned and left.
Soon, three beauticians entered: Xu Jingyan, Qiu Mang, and Qiu Li. They were quickly seated on three beauty beds.
Xu Jingyan lay comfortably on the bed next to Lu's mother, while Qiu Mang lay down on the bed next to Lu Nian. The little girl Qiu Li was the most at ease, lying on the bed furthest inside.
Seeing that the beautician was about to come forward to serve Qiu Li, Qiu Mang quickly straightened up, "The little one doesn't need any treatments, just let her lie here and take a nap."
Upon hearing this, Lu Nian couldn't help but smile and patiently explained, "Miss Qiu, it's alright. She's just a child; a natural face mask will do. My little one is about the same age as her, and she's also a little beauty enthusiast. Every time I put on a face mask, she insists on coming over. So I tried a natural, non-irritating children's face mask for her, and it worked quite well. It's a rare opportunity for a child to come all this way; it would be such a waste not to let her try it out."
“Yes, Qiu Mang, since Sister Nian has said so, why don’t you let Qiu Li give it a try?” Xu Jingyan chimed in.
Qiu Mang looked up at the beautician, a smile playing on her lips, and nodded in agreement, "Okay, then let's put on a face mask."
The moment he lay down, Qiu Mang glanced at Lu Nian beside him without making a sound.
She has a face that resembles Lu Yanting by three points, but the two give off completely different vibes.
Lu Yanting gives off a distant and aloof feeling, coupled with a powerful sense of oppression, making people afraid to get close. Lu Nian, on the other hand, is quite different. Although she also looks aloof, when she smiles, she feels like a gentle older sister.
After everyone lay down, Xu Jingyan started chatting with Lu's mother. Lu's mother seemed to like her very much, and the two chatted very congenially, often laughing.
Lu Nian turned her head and glanced at Qiu Mang, only to see her with her eyes closed, letting the beautician gently press on her face.
Lu Nian discovered that Qiu Mang was quite different from other girls.
If ordinary girls knew they were from the Lu family, they would probably have rushed to flatter and fawn over them. But Qiu Mang, who was beside them, just lay quietly in the spot closest to them, without saying a word from beginning to end, showing no intention of flattering or getting close to them at all.
Lu Nian couldn't help but ask, "Miss Qiu, I'm a little curious, how did you, Jingyan, and Yanting meet? Because it seems like you don't have any interaction."
Qiu Mang slightly opened her eyes. Lu Nian's words were sincere, without any discrimination or malice, which made her unsure how to respond.
"I……"
