Chapter 283 Li Qiao'er is up to her old tricks again

Mo Lan was wearing a mung bean face mask when she opened the door, startling Chen Jiu Niang so much that she took a step back.

"Oh dear, what are you putting on your face? I thought it was haunted!" She patted her chest and took several breaths.

Mo Niang asked her to sit down and told her about what happened at the Beauty Makeup Center that day.

It turns out her face wasn't ruined by eating something she shouldn't have; it was caused by using rouge that wasn't suitable for her skin.

She felt much better after using the products Wen Luozhi had recommended; the bumps had shrunk considerably.

If you just persevere for a few more days, it should be completely healed, and importantly, it won't leave any unsightly marks.

She noticed that Chen Jiuniang also looked surprised, "Mom looks like she's gotten so much younger."

Chen Jiuniang touched her smooth face and smiled:

"Let's go early tomorrow and buy one for all the other girls in the building."

At first, she was a little skeptical, but thought that since the price wasn't too high, she might as well give it a try.

The shop owner was a nice person. Even though he knew they were from Chunxiangyuan, he didn't refuse to do business with them, nor did he look down on them.

They haven't enjoyed such treatment as ordinary people for a long time.

When they hear that a cosmetics shop has new products, they can only ask the shop assistants in the building to buy them all, without knowing what they look like.

If they heard that a cosmetics shop had new stock, they could only ask the shop assistants in the building to bring it all to them, not knowing what it looked like, but they bought it all anyway.

Because of their special status, they spend most of their time inside the building, let alone going out to buy things they like like they do today.

Mo Lan readily agreed, but still suggested, "Let's go tomorrow at noon; there won't be many people then."

When there are many people, they might disturb the people in the shop. They are treated so well, they can't cause trouble for that girl.

They went there at noon the next day, but to their disappointment, Wen Luozhi was not at the shop.

The two turned to leave, but a female shop assistant came up and called them back:

"Is there something you two would like to see?"

Since Wen Luozhi had received her all three times yesterday, Mo Lan seemed to have identified her as the one to be received, so she asked, "Miss, where is your young boss?"

The waitress moved two chairs over for them and replied with a smile, "Our young boss has gone to Baiweizhai. Is there anything you two need that we can help you with?"

The waitress was warm and polite, and even poured tea for Mo Lan and Chen Jiu Niang.

The two exchanged a glance. Remembering that their friends in the building were waiting for them to bring their things back, Mo Lan said, "Then I'll trouble you to take a look for us."

The saleswoman responded, because she received a commission for each item sold. She often asked Wen Luozhi and others questions when she had nothing else to do.

When Mo Lan and Chen Jiu Niang asked her about it, she explained it very clearly and ended up selling quite a few things.

As the two were about to leave with their things, the waitress smiled and said, "Welcome to come again next time!"

She said, "Our boss said that there's no distinction between high and low status in any profession," and only a few of them could hear her.

Actually, she had already figured it out; they were from the Chunxiang Garden next door.

I suppose my decision to leave earlier was partly due to this concern.

Chen Jiuniang and Mo Lan turned around and said in unison, "Thank you."

As Chen Jiuniang stepped out of the shop, she looked up at the signboard.

The bright, prominent characters of "Beauty Makeup" by the third brother are pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at them.

At Baiweizhai, Wen Luozhi was discussing with Jiang Zhaochuan the arrangements for Jiang Tao to host a banquet for guests.

Unlike the last birthday banquet, this time Jiang Zhaochuan booked the entire Baiweizhai restaurant.

Now Baiweizhai has so many more dishes than before that he doesn't know what to choose even after looking at the menu.

Seeing his expression, Wen Luozhi knew he was having trouble making choices again, so she simply said, "Tomorrow, Master Jiang should just call Young Master Jiang over. He'll definitely know better what the classmates like."

Jiang Zhaochuan slapped his forehead. "Oh dear, I got so excited I forgot!"

That makes sense; most of them this time were students from the academy.

Jiang Tao must know some of their preferences from his daily interactions with them.

After discussing everything, Wen Luozhi saw Jiang Shuqian off at the door, and she looked at Wen Zian with some reluctance.

Madam Jiang quickly pulled her into the carriage and whispered, "It's the same if you come again tomorrow."

Jiang Shuqian then got into the carriage. Jiang Zhaochuan lifted the curtain and looked at Wen Zian, who was standing still, his old face almost stiff with laughter.

Being young is great! This young man is impressive! Just like when he was young.

They were open-minded and not so old-fashioned, and did not object to their daughter associating with the fourth son of the Wen family.

He had people watching over the two whenever they went out, and everyone who returned home praised Wen Zi'an.

Wen Zian stood at the entrance of Baiweizhai and only looked away when he could no longer see the Jiang family's carriage. However, he almost bumped into Li Qiao'er when he turned around.

The strong smell of cheap perfume made his brows furrow into a deep frown.

He thought that his sister's beauty products smelled better, and Shuqian was completely captivated by the fragrance after using them.

That Li Qiao'er is disgusting; she flies into our restaurant every few days like a fly.

Li Qiao'er, oblivious to her own predicament, stood in front of Wen Zi'an's door and said sweetly, "Fourth Young Master Wen, I haven't seen you for days."

Wen Luozhi, who had just gone out to call Wen Zi'an back, happened to hear this. She suppressed a laugh and casually floated over, saying, "Ah? Has it been a long time?"

"But didn't Sister Qiao'er just see my fourth brother this morning?"

Li Qiao'er's face instantly turned red; she got angry just thinking about it.

This morning, while queuing to buy egg tarts at the Dessert House, she saw Wen Zi'an. She ran out, but because she was too excited, she tripped and fell flat on her face.

There were so many people there, it made those people extremely happy.

In the end, she didn't even pick up the egg tarts she had finally managed to buy, and ran home covering her face.

Seeing Wen Luozhi's ambiguous smile, she got angry and shouted, "What's it to you? Shut up!"

Wen Zi'an's face darkened instantly. He didn't care whether Li Qiao'er was a woman or not, and shoved her away again, saying fiercely, "Try yelling at my sister again!"

I'll beat you so badly your own mother wouldn't recognize you!

He was shrouded in a suppressed anger, as if it was about to erupt.

Li Qiao'er was stunned when she saw his face suddenly turn extremely gloomy.

That's not how it is; she saw it all just now.

When Wen Zi'an spoke to that Miss Jiang, his eyes were smiling and he looked very gentle.

How come it turned out like this when it came to her!

Li Qiao'er's eyes were filled with tears, but Wen Zi'an didn't feel sorry for her at all. Instead, he sneered, "Don't cry in front of my house. If you disturb our business, I'll beat you up!"

After saying that, he strode into the house, leaving Li Qiao'er standing there dumbfounded and bewildered.

Wen Luozhi sighed, stepped forward, patted her shoulder, and whispered, "Don't worry, my fourth brother won't be interested in you."

"Your abacus beads are practically bouncing all the way to our shop's doorstep!"

Li Qiao'er paused and turned to look at Wen Luozhi, only to see mockery on her face.

Feeling as if her clothes had been stripped off, Li Qiao'er stammered, "What scheme! I don't understand what you're talking about."

She hurriedly looked away, straightened her hair, lowered her head, and walked away quickly.

Wen Luozhi smacked her lips twice as she watched Li Qiao'er flee in disarray, thinking that Li Qiao'er really had perseverance.

They've been humiliated more than once or twice, yet they still have the audacity to stick around.
