When Qin Xiaoye and Zhang Dahai got engaged, Madam Luo immediately gave her a VIP card. She hasn't used it much, though; the prices there are too high, and she can't bear to spend the money.
When Xiao Ye's mother arrived, she thought she would show her to her mother and show off.
Madam Luo was a shrewd and worldly woman; she had long heard about her sordid affairs. Having been jilted and then becoming a mistress, she held her in contempt. She never expected her to dare bring her mother to their door.
Mrs. Luo hesitated for a moment. The card had to be taken back, but she couldn't just take it away. After so long in Shanghai, she had learned the most about how to conduct herself. She had to leave some room for maneuver; she couldn't be too ruthless.
So there's no problem with the reception; Qin Xiaoye has money to spare, and she's willing to spend real cash.
When they leave, find a way to take the card back, which will block their way next time without offending anyone.
Driven by vanity, Qin Xiaoye disregarded the cost and only chose the most expensive treatments for her mother. The two of them spent nearly five thousand yuan after a long day of this.
Seeing Qin Xiaoye pull out foreign exchange certificates, Xiaoye's mother felt her heart bleed. What she was paying for wasn't just money; it was pieces of flesh being torn from her heart.
Just then, another new guest arrived. Madam Luo greeted them at the door, and her expression changed.
"Why didn't you call before coming over?"
"I suddenly felt dizzy and wanted to come here to tidy up. Why are there so many guests?" The woman's voice was somewhat old, and her nose felt stuffy.
"Not many, not many! Come on in, it's hot outside." Madam Luo still held onto a sliver of hope, hoping to smuggle Xing Suyuan in and prevent her from running into Qin Xiaoye.
But to everyone's surprise, there were some people here who were just looking for trouble and didn't care about making things worse.
That day, an old friend of the Xing family was present. Madam Cheng was Xing Suyuan's maternal aunt by kinship, and she didn't particularly like this niece. Even when rumors circulated that Zhang Dahai was having an affair and keeping a mistress, she simply thought that this niece was too incompetent, unable to even control a man.
But today, Qin Xiaoye came directly to Madam Luo's place and entered the house, which is tantamount to slapping the face of the Xing family and all their relatives and friends. This is something that cannot be allowed.
These families share in the glory, how can they be humiliated for no reason?
Xing Suyuan didn't come here because she was dizzy; she was summoned by a phone call from her.
"This is fine. I'll sit for a bit; I'm feeling a bit carsick." Xing Suyuan sat on the sofa as soon as she entered the house, refusing to go further inside despite Madam Luo's invitation.
Qin Xiaoye and her mother were still in the living room, having paid the bill and were drinking the last bit of coffee. They felt they had to enjoy themselves after spending the money.
“This young lady looks familiar,” Xing Suyuan said, standing up and walking towards Qin Xiaoye.
Qin Xiaoye had never met her before, only heard some information about her. Now, suddenly seeing someone attacking her, walking with a murderous aura, she carefully observed her: small eyes, puffy eyes, flat nose, square mouth, and that voluptuous figure... Could it be...?
"Who are you?" Qin Xiaoye stood up, her aura already diminished by sitting down.
“My surname is Xing, and I am the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family.” Just as Xing Suyuan finished speaking, Madam Cheng came over.
"This is Zhang's daughter-in-law. And you are?"
Qin Xiaoye understood; she had finally met the right person. But what did it matter? Just by looking at her, she knew why Zhang Dahai didn't love her—ugliness was the original sin.
"Let's go." Qin Xiaoye ignored her and turned to call her mother.
"Miss Qin, please wait a moment. We are currently re-issuing VIP cards. Yours is the old version. Please leave it here, and I will deliver it to you when it's ready." A PR person ran out; she was there on orders to collect the cards.
Qin Xiaoye understood the moment Xing Suyuan left; it seemed this place didn't welcome her. She was going to leave, but having spent so much money and then having her card confiscated like this felt unfair.
"Mrs. Luo, what do you mean? Do you want to take back my card?" Qin Xiaoye turned to Mrs. Luo.
"No, it's just that I need to get a new card. I'll have someone send it to you later..."
"You've gone too far. Have some self-respect. People are giving you face, so hurry up and back down. Stop pretending to be stupid." Madam Cheng immediately chimed in, which angered her even more than slapping Qin Xiaoye a few times.
"Who do you think you are? You all think you're human just because you're dressed? You all think too highly of yourselves! I'm not afraid of you!" Qin Xiaoye pointed around and was about to start tearing into them.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Mrs. Luo's clientele are all high-end VIPs; women of all social classes share the same gossipy nature. They've all come out to see what's going on, some with their faces painted in all sorts of colors, others just wearing bathrobes.
Xing Suyuan was a regular customer, and everyone knew her. No one recognized Qin Xiaoye. By listening to her words, they guessed that she was the mistress. Everyone here was a wife, so naturally, they all despised Qin Xiaoye and pointed fingers at her.
"You have no right to speak to me, Aunt Cheng, let's go." This Xing Suyuan was incredibly weak; with such confidence, she wanted to run away first, which made Madam Cheng so angry that she wanted to rush up and help her.
Madam Luo is a shrewd woman, and she knows perfectly well that this matter cannot be blown out of proportion. Firstly, she's worried about the negative impact on the shop; secondly, in this line of work, you can't step on anyone—who knows which cunning fox might become a master shrew?
There's precedent for this. A woman working in the service industry offended the mistress of a powerful man, and the mistress, relying on her mother's status, actually rose to power and ruined the woman's business. The man held a grudge, and no amount of pleading could change his mind.
She didn't know what kind of skills Qin Xiaoye possessed, and if he came back for revenge later, it would be difficult to deal with him.
"Miss Qin, shall I call you a car?" Mrs. Luo guessed that they definitely didn't have a car.
"Are you asking me to leave? To make room for her?" Qin Xiaoye, taking advantage of her position, stepped forward and pointed at Xing Suyuan, saying, "I arrived first. He and I are truly in love. You stole him away. He doesn't love you. Don't you know what kind of person you are? With your stench, he'd be disgusted just to be near you!" Qin Xiaoye's words were a heavy blow.
It's common knowledge that Xing Suyuan has a slight body odor, and it's no secret at the beauty salon. However, because she's honest, gentle, and doesn't offend anyone, everyone overlooks it.
She thought she had kept it a secret very well, but now that Qin Xiaoye had suddenly exposed her, she was so embarrassed that she was trembling with anger.
"You! You're the one who's disgusting! You're just a streetwalker, what does he want from you? Is it just because you know a few positions in bed? Let me tell you, don't think too highly of yourself. In his eyes, you're no different from a prostitute!" Although Xing Suyuan wasn't very good at swearing, these words were still on her lips, and she had cursed them a million times in her heart.
Laughter rippled through the crowd, indicating their agreement.
"What I am is unimportant. You'll only know who I am after I give birth to his son. As for your child, he's rotten to the core. The Zhang family probably doesn't want him either," Qin Xiaoye said coldly.
