Chapter 9 You're So Pretty
The birds outside the house were chirping, and Anran turned over lazily in her bed, hugging the quilt. After a long time, her long eyelashes, like a small fan, trembled slightly. Those beautiful peach blossom eyes slowly opened, and there seemed to be thousands of stars twinkling in the crystal pupils.
Her hazy eyes suddenly cleared up and she quickly turned over and got up.
I was busy planting vegetables in the space last night until too late, and I saw that the small green vegetables I planted before had grown to the height of a finger. Anran was extremely happy. It seemed that it would be ready to eat in less than two days.
The family's conditions have always been poor, and Anran racked her brains to do something to improve their family's life. She couldn't bear to see her father working hard for the family alone. She knew very well that the things in the space, let alone the spiritual spring water, even taking out a random pill would cause a sensation. But she couldn't protect these things at her current state, and she didn't want to be captured, threatened, bribed, and sliced into pieces for research. You can only sigh in disappointment over the treasure mountain.
While thinking about her troubles, she quickly put on her clothes and left the room.
Lin Qingwan, who was busy in the yard, saw Anran's unparalleled beauty that could not be concealed even in her simple dress, and her eyes showed pride that her daughter had grown up: "Ranran, get up, go eat! Your father and I have already eaten, and there is food left in the pot for you."
"Okay, Mom. Is my dad going to work?" An Ran quickly washed up and went to the kitchen to have breakfast.
Lin Qingwan put down the work in her hands, got up and went to the kitchen to help her fill a bowl of porridge: "Yes, your second uncle found a job in town and took your father to do it."
An Ran ate her breakfast leisurely: "Mom, I'm going to the county town today and will be back later. I won't be back for lunch."
Lin Qingwan looked at her daughter's pretty face lovingly, and reached out to help her tuck the fallen hair behind her ears: "Well, are you going to the county town for something?"
"It's okay, I'll go check it out."
"Okay, go for a walk and relax. Mom will give you some money so you can have some fun." Lin Qingwan said softly and was about to get up and go to the room to get money.
An Ran quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks and held her back: "Mom, I have money. I saved a little money from working outside these years."
Although she sent money to her parents every month, she didn't buy anything for herself and saved a little.
"Don't lie to me. You send all the money back home every month. Where would you get the money?" Lin Qingwan looked incredulous.
"Really, Mom, if I didn't have money I wouldn't be polite with you. After all, you are my dear mom. You have been busy all morning, go sit down and have a rest." An Ran pushed Lin Qingwan out of the kitchen and cleaned up the dishes neatly.
An Ran put on a mask and rode the family's electric bike to go out; "Mom, I'm going out. You rest at home. I'll do any work when I come back."
"Hey, be careful on the road! Go home early!" Lin Qingwan watched her daughter go out the door.
Anran faces the early morning breeze, and the slight coolness makes people feel particularly comfortable. Soon they arrived in town and she found a place to park her electric bike. Then I went to the bus station and took the bus to the county town.
We arrived at the county town safely without any conversation along the way.
Seeing the tall buildings in the county town, there have been great changes after not being there for two years. Anran came to the largest shopping mall in the county and strolled leisurely inside.
The first floor is filled with gold jewelry of various brands, as well as various cosmetics and skin care counters, which is really dazzling.
Especially in the skin care product counters, all kinds of women come in and out. An Ran couldn't help but feel moved, remembering that she had seen a book on beauty and skin care on the bookshelf in her space. The book contains all kinds of secret recipes for beauty and skin care. Can they be made and sold?
"Beauty, come in and try our products." An Ran was interrupted while she was thinking. She looked up and saw a clerk at the skin care counter greeting her.
An Ran waved her hand quickly: "No, I have something else to do."
The clerk came forward enthusiastically and pulled An Ran to sit down in front of the trial table: "Try it, beautiful! It doesn't matter if you don't buy it. Get to know our products. If you are interested, you can come back to have a look in the future."
As she spoke, she took off An Ran's mask and was suddenly shocked. Anran's skin is fair and translucent, with almost no pores and not a single spot. Her eyebrows are picturesque and her facial features are extremely delicate.
"Wow, beauty! You are so beautiful. How come your skin is so good? I have been selling skin care products for so many years, but I have never seen such good skin." The young clerk's eyes showed surprise.
The shop assistants nearby and several women who were buying skin care products gathered around and couldn't help but ask questions when they saw An Ran's expression.
"Beauty, what skin care products do you usually use? Can you introduce them to me?" asked a fashionable woman in her thirties.
"Yes, yes. Can you tell me what you use? Look at my face. I spent a lot of money. The spots on my face haven't gotten any smaller."
"Hey, who said it wasn't. I don't even want to look at my face now. I can't go out without makeup." Another woman with heavy makeup on her face also echoed.
At this time, a dignified and elegant woman in her early forties wiped An Ran's face with a makeup remover cotton pad and said in surprise: "You are actually without makeup. I thought you used some good foundation."
She stared at An Ran's face with shining eyes: "Little girl, what do you usually use on your face? Don't tell me you are born beautiful, I don't believe it."
Uh... Anran felt extremely embarrassed. What should she say? She really wants to develop some customers, and she is 100% confident in the things made with the secret recipes in the space. But this is in someone else's store, and it's not good to blatantly steal their business.
The elegant woman could see Anran's discomfort at a glance, and she immediately understood the concerns of this surprisingly beautiful girl. She smiled and said, "Little girl, I feel you look familiar. It's noon now, I will treat you to a meal."
An Ran smiled awkwardly and said, "This is not good."
God, does this auntie know that she looks like a child trafficker?
"What's wrong with that? Auntie also eats alone, so just think of it as accompanying Auntie." Without saying a word, the elegant woman pulled An Ran out of the counter.
The two came to the dining area on the fourth floor of the mall, and the aunt took them to a restaurant called "Grandma's Home" with ease.
She pulled An Ran to sit down and handed her the menu: "Come and see what you like to eat. Just order whatever you want. Don't be polite to me."
An Ran didn't act pretentiously and ordered two of her favorite dishes without hesitation.
Auntie took the menu, ordered another dish of salt and pepper shrimp and boiled fish, and handed it to the waiter.
"Little girl, let me introduce myself. My last name is Su, Su Wantang. You can just call me Aunt Su." Su Wantang elegantly picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.
"Aunt Su has a nice name. My name is An Ran." An Ran said readily.
Su Wantang put down the teacup and looked at An Ran; "An Ran, time is quiet and shallow, and every step is peaceful. What a good name."
She screamed in her heart, what a good name and what a wonderful person. The girl looks even more beautiful when viewed from such a close distance. For a person who is obsessed with looks, there is really no resistance.
"Aunt Su, do you really want my skin care products?" An Ran asked directly without any hesitation.
"I was just saying that. There's no skin care product that works that well. Your skin is probably naturally beautiful. I just like looking at pretty girls."
"Aunt Su." An Ran looked at Su Wantang seriously: "I have it."
Su Wantang was surprised for a moment: "Ah, it really exists. How is it possible? If it could have the same effect as on your face, it would have been on the market long ago. In this world, women's money is the easiest to make."
"Yes, but it varies from person to person. It needs to be customized according to each person's skin type, and the medicinal materials used are also very precious. So, I make it for my own use." An Ran explained. She planned to go for the high-end route and have it customized by a dedicated person. This way, the quantity is small but we won’t be too busy and the price will be higher.
"Oh..." Su Wantang asked in surprise: "How can you be so young?"
An Ran's expression remained unchanged as she began to deceive him: "Aunt Su, this is a secret palace medicine passed down from our ancestors. It was used to regulate the health of the empresses in the palace. Think about it, every empress in the palace is as beautiful as a flower. If she had spots or acne on her face like an ordinary person like us, would the emperor like it?"
"Yeah, that makes sense." Su Wantang nodded in agreement, and immediately looked at An Ran with sparkling eyes: "An Ran, then you help Aunt Su with the treatment. Don't worry, money is not a problem."
An Ran pondered for a moment and nodded: "Aunt Su, I shouldn't charge you. I don't do this business, but the herbs I need are too expensive. I can go to the mountains to collect some, but some herbs can't be found in the mountains. My family is not well off, and I really can't afford it..."
Su Wantang interrupted her and said, "How can I let you pay? Your Aunt Su is not short of money. I just want you to help me make one."
"Aunt Su, what's the big deal about being tired or not. I'm happy to do this for you. It would be too formal to say anything more." An Ran looked at Su Wantang's face carefully and knew what was going on.
The host and guests had a great time during the meal. The two added each other's contact information and said goodbye.
