Chapter 628 Do You Like Her?
Opposite Yingyue Pavilion.
Lu Yingxue stood at the window, taking in everything. She put down the telescope, turned around, and said, "Is this what you call foolproof?"
The manager of Yingyue Pavilion had a grim expression on his face. "I clearly told Mrs. Pei about this, but I didn't expect her to be so ineffective. This trick has worked countless times before, but we just didn't use it at the opening ceremony."
If a normal person finds something in his pocket, he will take it out and have a look.
Once fingerprints were left behind, many things would become unclear. Coupled with the Lu family's hidden pressure behind the scenes, those beauty salons would soon go bankrupt.
Lu Yingxue opened her red lips and said, "Qiao Xi is too smart. She is on guard against me, so she is extra careful."
"Yes, that's quite calculating." The manager quickly tried to make amends, "Luckily, Mrs. Pei used the excuse that she was venting her anger on Pei Chun and didn't involve us. That's not bad at all..."
“What a great place!”
Lu Yingxue reached out and slowly stroked the swollen and painful wound hidden by the mask. She said, "Didn't you see the grand occasion at Furong Beauty Salon? At this rate, it will soon be on par with our Yingyue Pavilion. By then, it will be too late."
Her eyes turned dimly, "Did you get what I asked you to get?"
"I got it."
The manager took out a small paper bag and handed it to Lu Yingxue with both hands.
Lu Yingxue took it and unfolded the crumpled paper ball, revealing a ball of light blue paste inside.
It smells like various Chinese herbs.
Lu Yingxue twisted it with her fingertips and then brought it to her nose to smell it.
There are several herbs that are very familiar.
She knew it the moment she smelled it.
Lu Yingxue closed her eyes and thought. She had been immersed in Traditional Chinese Medicine for over twenty years. She had been studying it since she could read, and she was extremely familiar with medicinal herbs.
"There are eleven medicinal herbs in total, all of which are very common Chinese herbal medicines."
"Miss Lu, you're amazing! You can tell what medicinal herbs are there just by smelling them. I think Yingyue Pavilion will soon have whitening and scar removal products, and then those customers will come back. After all, we've been open in the capital for so many years..."
Lu Yingxue tilted her head slightly and said, "Don't let the news leak out. I'll go home in the next few days to study the proportions and see how the Jade Skin Cream is made."
The manager nodded repeatedly and said, "The Furong Beauty Salon across the street is very strict, so my staff can only get this much finished product. If I could get the formula, you wouldn't have to worry about it. I still don't know the proportions and processing of the various herbs."
"That's enough! How could Qiao Xi let the formula leak out? But now that I have the finished product, I understand it pretty well."
Lu Yingxue was confident.
She also had her own selfish motives in wanting to create the Jade Skin Cream.
If this Jade Muscle Cream could cure the severe burns on Qiao Xi's arms, it would surely be able to work wonders on the wounds on her face.
She guessed that the effect of the new injury must be much more effective than the old one.
It must be distributed as soon as possible!
She couldn't have a scar on her face, nor could she beg that bitch Qiao Xi for the Jade Muscle Cream!
"Recently, the beauty salon's daily turnover must be reported to me."
After giving the instructions, Lu Yingxue took the paper ball and left.
She must be able to make a jade skin cream!
…
at night.
The moonlight is like water and the streets are bustling.
A red sports car pulled up outside the Guan family's Prince's Mansion. Huo Sijiao, wearing a tight, high-necked corduroy dress and a classic Chanel jacket, stood outside the majestic Guan family's gate, clutching a beautifully wrapped gift box.
She had to admit it.
The Guan family's background is indeed extraordinary, and it even looks more impressive than the Huo family in Haicheng.
The Guan family is worthy of being one of the four great families in the imperial capital, relying on the accumulation of ancestors and the efforts of descendants, even though its offspring are weak.
In this generation, Guan Jingtan is the only one who can take on the responsibility. The Guan family has been able to survive for so long in the imperial capital surrounded by wolves. It is really something.
Huo Sijiao stepped forward.
The Guan family's housekeeper quickly and politely said, "Miss Huo, my young lady is waiting in the living room. Please follow me..."
Huo Sijiao stood at the door and handed the gift in her hand to the housekeeper, saying, "This is a gift from our Furong Beauty Salon to customers who recharge. I won't go in today. I want to find... find Shen Xuanzhi. Can you ask him to come out? I want to ask him something."
"Then please wait a moment, I'll go ask Mr. Shen."
"good."
Huo Sijiao was standing outside the door of the quaint Guan family.
The early winter wind was a bit chilly, and she was wearing too little. The chilly wind seemed to penetrate into the cracks between her bones, making her feel cold and painful.
She couldn't help but straighten her coat.
I didn't expect the climate in the imperial capital to be so much colder than Haicheng, and winter came much faster.
She took out her phone and scrolled through it out of boredom before she saw the weather warning about a cold wave.
It may snow in the capital tonight.
No wonder it’s so cold, she’s almost frozen into an ice sculpture.
After a while.
Huo Sijiao heard footsteps approaching and looked over.
Shen Xuanzhi's face became clearer and clearer, and as he walked, the string of Buddhist beads he had worn when they first met appeared on his wrist.
It turned out that he redeemed the Buddhist beads so quickly.
Huo Sijiao looked at him standing two meters in front of her and couldn't help but say, "Do we need to be so cautious? If I really do something, you can't avoid it."
Shen Xuanzhi's face was indifferent, and his gloomy eyes seemed to hide a lot of worries.
He said, “What do you want from me?”
"I want to ask you something. I can't sleep at night if I don't ask you." Huo Sijiao stood in the cold wind. The cold wind made her cheeks cold and a little red.
"you say."
Huo Sijiao looked at him and mustered up the courage to ask, "Shen Xuanzhi, everyone outside thinks you're living in the Guan family to help the old man recuperate. But some people say you're going to marry into the Guan family. Is that true?"
When Shen Xuanzhi heard her words, he dropped his hands to his sides and clenched them into fists.
He pretended to be cold and hard: "Whether it's true or false, what's the point?"
"It means something to me, I want to know. You won't even say a word?"
Huo Sijiao felt even angrier and a little aggrieved. Shen Xuanzhi hadn't been so annoying back in Haicheng. But after arriving in the imperial capital, he'd always been so distant, even ignoring her advances with disgust.
Shen Xuanzhi felt depressed. He looked at her and said, "It's true. I want to marry into the Guan family. I will get a marriage certificate with Miss Guan soon."
The corners of Huo Sijiao's eyes turned red.
She forced a smile and said, "I didn't expect it to happen so soon. I'd like to ask, do you like Miss Guan?"
Shen Xuanzhi's throat tightened and he said, "It's hard for anyone not to like her."
Huo Sijiao felt a pang in her heart, a dull pain.
She forced a smile and said, "Congratulations. You'll marry into the Guan family and return to Haicheng, right?"
"Won't."
"Then there's no one in Haicheng you care about? I mean, your mother..."
Shen Xuanzhi avoided her gaze and said, "After I get married, I will bring my mother to live in the imperial capital, and I will never return to Haicheng."
It turns out to be like this.
Huo Sijiao actually wanted to ask him, don’t you have any feelings for her at all?
Her voice trembled slightly, but she forced herself to ask, "Shen Xuanzhi, I have one last question for you. After you answer, I won't bother you anymore."
