Chapter 628 Do You Like Her?
Opposite is Yingyue Pavilion.
Lu Yingxue stood at the window and took in everything. She put down the telescope in her hand, turned around and said, "Is this what you call foolproof?"
The manager of Yingyue Pavilion looked unhappy: "I clearly told Mrs. Pei about this, but I didn't expect her to be so useless. This trick has worked every time before, but we didn't use it at the opening ceremony."
If a normal person finds something in his pocket, he will take it out and check it.
Once fingerprints were left, many things could not be explained. In addition, the Lu family was secretly exerting pressure behind the scenes, and those beauty salons would close down soon.
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, she is very calculating." The manager quickly added, "Fortunately, Mrs. Pei used the excuse that she was venting her anger on Pei Chun and did not involve us. This is not bad..."
"It's not bad!"
Lu Yingxue reached out her hand and slowly stroked the swollen and painful wound covered by the mask and said, "Haven't you seen the prosperity of Furong Beauty Salon? At this rate, it will soon be comparable to our Yingyue Pavilion. By then it will be too late."
Her eyes moved faintly, "Did you get the things 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, then took it to the tip of her nose and smelled it.
There are some familiar herbs.
She knew it at once.
Lu Yingxue closed her eyes and thought. She has been immersed in Chinese medicine for more than 20 years. She has been studying Chinese medicine since she was able to read, and she is very familiar with medicinal materials.
"There are eleven herbs in total, all of which are very common Chinese herbal medicines."
"Miss Lu, you are amazing. You can tell what kind of herbs it is 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 have been open in the imperial capital for so many years..."
Lu Yingxue tilted her head slightly and said, "Don't let the news leak out. I'll go home and study the proportions in the next few days to see how the jade skin cream is made in the end."
The manager nodded repeatedly and said, "The Furong Beauty Salon across the street is very strict, so my people can only get this little bit of finished product. If you can get the formula, you won't have to worry about it. I don't even know the proportions and processing of the various herbs."
"That's enough! There's no way Qiao Xi would let the formula leak out! But now that I have the finished product, I can understand it more or less."
Lu Yingxue was confident.
She also had her own selfish motives in wanting to create the Jade Skin Cream.
This jade cream could heal the severe burns on Qiao Xi's arms, so it must be able to work wonders on the wounds on her face.
She guessed that the effect on new wounds must be much more effective than old wounds.
It must be matched as soon as possible!
She couldn't have a scar on her face, nor could she ask that bitch Qiao Xi for help with the Jade Skin Cream!
"Recently, the beauty salon's daily turnover needs to be reported to me."
After Lu Yingxue gave the instructions, she took the paper ball and left.
She must be able to make a jade skin cream!
…
Night.
The moonlight is like water and the streets are bustling.
A red sports car stopped outside the Guan family's Prince's Mansion. Huo Sijiao was wearing a tight high-necked corduroy dress with a classic Chanel jacket on the outside. She was holding a beautifully wrapped small gift box in her hand and standing outside the majestic Guan family's gate.
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 their descendants are weak.
In this generation, Guan Jingtan is the only one who can take on the responsibility, and the Guan family has been able to survive for so long in the imperial capital surrounded by wolves. There is really something about it.
Huo Sijiao stepped forward.
The Guan family's housekeeper hurriedly said politely: "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 and said, "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 will go ask Mr. Shen."
"good."
Huo Sijiao was standing outside the door of this quaint Guan family's house.
The wind in early winter was a little cold, and she was wearing too little. The cold wind seemed to penetrate into the seams of her bones, making her feel cold and painful.
She couldn't help but pull her coat up.
I didn't expect the climate in the imperial capital to be so much colder than that in Haicheng, and winter comes especially quickly.
She took out her phone and scrolled through it boredly before she saw the weather warning for 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 she looked over.
Shen Xuanzhi's face became clearer and clearer, and as he walked, the string of Buddhist beads that I saw when I first met him 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 you 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 me to do?"
"I want to ask you something. I can't sleep at night if you don't ask me." 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 asked with courage: "Shen Xuanzhi, people outside think that you are living in Guan's house to take care of your old man's health. But some people say that you want to marry into Guan's house. Is this 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 is true or false, what does it matter?"
"It means something to me, and I want to know. You won't even say a word?"
Huo Sijiao was even angrier and a little aggrieved. Shen Xuanzhi was not so annoying when they were in Haicheng. But after arriving in the imperial capital, he always kept her at a distance and even disdained her kindness, full of disgust.
Shen Xuanzhi was feeling depressed. He looked at her and said, "It's true. I want to marry into the Guan family. I will get married to Miss Guan soon."
The corners of Huo Sijiao's eyes turned red.
She tried to force a smile: "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's heart twitched and she felt a dull pain.
She forced a smile and said, "Congratulations. After you marry into the Juguan family, you will return to Haicheng, right?"
"will not."
"So there's no one left in Haicheng for you to 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 again."
It turns out to be like this.
Huo Sijiao actually wanted to ask him if he had any love for her at all?
Her voice was trembling slightly, but she forced herself to ask, "Shen Xuanzhi, I will ask you one last question. After you answer it, I will never bother you again."
