Xu Shanshan looked at Tian Lingling, her palms slowly sweating. She clenched her hands and lowered her head.
"Dr. Li, look how tanned my face is. Do you have any medicine that can make my skin whiter?" Zhou Yunxia looked at Li Xiyue's fair and glowing face and was certain that she must have applied something to make her so fair.
Li Xiyue thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there are, but developing them would be quite troublesome."
In later years, she put a lot of effort into whitening and skincare, developing many Chinese herbal skincare products with good results. She was willing to use good medicine, so naturally the prices were not cheap.
“Could you help me develop one? I don’t want to become a black woman,” Zhou Yunxia said.
Chen Yu is already better looking than her. If she's also darker-skinned than him, wouldn't she be at a huge disadvantage?
Huang Xinrui's eyes sparkled, "Yueyue, I want one too."
Li Xiyue warned in advance, "It will require a lot of Chinese medicinal herbs, so it won't be cheap."
"Am I short of money?" Huang Xinrui said smugly.
Although she wasn't as wealthy as Yueyue, she wasn't short of money.
“I have money too,” Zhou Yunxia said, raising her hand.
In the past, she would never have had spare money to buy skincare products, but now she and her brother have earned a lot of money and are not short of cash.
She was willing to spend money to become fairer and surpass Chen Yu.
Li Xiyue smiled at the two of them, "Okay, I'll help you develop it when I have time."
Xu Shanshan was awakened from her sleep by a stomachache. She got up to go to the toilet and found that she had started her period.
Her stomach seemed to be hurting more than usual this month. She clutched her stomach with one hand and held onto the door frame with the other, the pain was unbearable, and cold sweat quickly soaked her back.
"Xu Zhiqing, what's wrong?" Huang Xinrui happened to come out to use the restroom and found her.
Xu Shanshan's face turned pale. "That's when I get my period."
Hearing the noise, Wang Jiaxing opened the door. "Xinrui, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Huang Xinrui waved her hand, inviting him into the house.
Wang Jiaxing glanced at Xu Shanshan and went back.
"Your stomach hurts again?" Huang Xinrui knew that her stomach would hurt when she was menstruating, so she stepped forward to support her. "Come inside and lie down."
After she lay down inside, Huang Xinrui poured her a cup of hot water and gave her a painkiller. "Take the medicine; it will make you feel better."
Xu Shanshan was in so much pain that she took the medicine and drank it with hot water. As the hot water warmed her up, she said with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, Huang Zhiqing."
"It's nothing." Huang Xinrui put down her water glass, lay back down, and said softly, "You've started your period. Do you want Yunxia to help you ask for a day off tomorrow?"
Xu Shanshan shook her head, "Taking leave will result in a deduction of work points, so I'd better not."
“Xu Zhiqing, you need to be kinder to yourself. You’re feeling so unwell, how can you go to work?” Huang Xinrui couldn’t help but advise.
Xu Shanshan wrapped herself tightly in the blanket. Despite the sweltering heat, she felt icy cold all over, and her voice was filled with desolation. "Anyway, anyway, no one cares about me or has any concern for me."
"Who says no one cares about you or is concerned about you? Zhou Zhiqing cared about you and was concerned about you very much."
Thinking of Zhou Yunze, Xu Shanshan felt a surge of warmth in her heart. He was indeed very good to her and would stand up for her when she was bullied, but she knew her own limitations.
