"Last time the wedding was rushed, we old sisters agreed to go on a trip and didn't get to attend."
"We heard the bride you found was especially beautiful, and we were all regretful. Fortunately, today we have the chance to see her with our own eyes."
"The reputation is well-deserved. She is indeed a beauty chosen from a million, and she's also smart."
"In all my years, I've been to at least eight, if not ten, beauty salons. This is the first time I've seen someone so beautiful that she makes you feel happy both physically and mentally."
"We'll definitely recommend this to our other sisters. Ah Zhe, your aunt is very impressed with you; you have good taste."
"Thank you, Auntie. Since you're so supportive of Jiao Jiao's business, she must thank you properly."
"When she gives you a few more coupons, we'll entrust our beautiful faces to Jiao Jiao from now on. You're welcome to visit anytime."
All in all, everyone had a very enjoyable time today.
Chen Jiao Jiao's account received a beautiful inflow of funds.
Lu Mama also gained significant face.
After a busy morning, before Chen Jiao Jiao could even treat everyone to lunch, Jiang Nan Fang had to take her leave.
She had a company meeting she couldn't miss.
Zhou Jin Bei had to return to the hospital to care for Ah Zhong's father, and Min Er had only taken a half-day off, so she had to go too.
"I'm so grateful that you could all spare time from your busy schedules to support me. Let's take a group photo."
"There's an empty space in the front hall, and I feel like something is missing. Let's take a photo, I'll enlarge it and hang it here. Will you girls help me bring in wealth and good fortune?" Jiang Nan Fang said.
"Since you think so highly of us, of course, there's no problem."
"That's right. Just in case it doesn't work as intended, don't blame us."
Chen Jiao Jiao called for someone, gathered Lu Mama and her friends, and took a large group photo.
Due to the beauty salon's high-end and beautiful environment, and its first-class beautiful and professional staff, it quickly spread within the circle of wealthy individuals.
A few days later, Xiang Wan also received a coupon from a close girlfriend.
"Sister Wan, a new beauty salon has opened. Their reputation is quite good, and the discounts are also generous."
"My friend gave me two coupons. I have nothing to do this afternoon, shall we go experience it together?"
"I haven't had any skincare for a long time; I feel like my pores are almost clogged."
Xiang Wan hadn't been to a beauty salon herself recently either.
As women, their faces are the most important.
No matter what, she had to make time to pay attention.
The girlfriend's friend had made an appointment in advance. The three of them went together at three in the afternoon.
It was indeed very beautiful.
Upon entering, it felt like stepping into a high-end hot spring resort.
The view was expansive, and the environment was elegant.
The girlfriend looked around excitedly.
"We haven't even started the treatments yet, but just based on this environment, I already want to pre-pay for a membership here."
"Everyone praises it; things that are well-received are indeed good things."
Everyone received a basic care treatment.
After the experience, they felt refreshed and relaxed, and Xiang Wan even managed to have a beautiful nap.
The staff neither pushed for additional services nor pressured them to sign up for membership throughout the entire process.
This was the aspect they liked the most.
Before leaving, they proactively went to the front desk to inquire about top-up packages.
The staff enthusiastically introduced them to various packages and top-up discounts, and everyone listened attentively.
As she listened, Xiang Wan felt something drawing her attention, making her want to secretly look.
Then her mind began to wander.
Her gaze shifted, and she saw a large group photo hanging on the wall behind the staff.
Her eyes were immediately drawn to the two people standing in the center of the photo.
In the middle of the photo stood a man and a woman.
The man was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, looking young and handsome with a tall and straight posture.
The woman was also wearing a white shirt and a dark blue A-line skirt. A silk scarf of the same color as the collar was diagonally tied at her neckline, and her hair was styled in an updo.
She was linking arms with the man, smiling sweetly at the camera.
She looked as intellectual and elegant as a bank employee, or perhaps an airline stewardess.
Standing together, the two looked so well-matched, so beautiful.
Crucially, on the other side stood a mature and dignified middle-aged woman.
She was dressed fashionably, with a delicate face and gentle eyes, also intimately linking arms with the woman.
Her appearance was strikingly similar to the man on her left.
With Xiang Wan's intelligence, she could guess without anyone telling her.
That should be Lu Ming Zhe, his wife, and his mother.
The three standing in the center of the photo, it was self-evident, were the subjects of this photograph.
Could it be that this beauty salon was opened by him?
Everyone's faces bore polite smiles, their eyes looking straight ahead.
Yet at this moment, it felt as if they were staring at her.
She was the woman Lu Ming Zhe spoke of incessantly, the one he claimed not to love at all and intended to divorce at any time.
She was so beautiful, so young, so gorgeous.
Even Xiang Wan, a woman, felt her heart flutter.
How could Lu Ming Zhe have said such things?
Moreover, their relationship didn't seem to be that bad.
He was willing to accompany her to important events, willing to let her link arms with him in photos.
Willing to have such a harmonious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship.
How could he possibly have the thought of divorce at any time?
It was as if this photo was hung there specifically for her to see.
It was as if these smiles were directed at Xiang Wan.
It was as if they were all reminding her.
They were the proper, well-matched couple, beautiful and talented; what was she?
A pawn used by her husband for amusement when he was bored?
A cheap woman easily dismissed with a few sweet words?
He says there's no affection, so there's no affection; he says he doesn't love his wife, so he doesn't love his wife. These are common tactics men use.
You believe such nonsense?
The more she looked, the more uncomfortable Xiang Wan felt.
She even felt her face flush and her inferiority complex surface, her heart aching as she stared at the photo on the wall.
Seeing her staring blankly at the photo on the wall for a long time,
A staff member looked back.
"Oh, this was taken by our boss with her family on the opening day. Isn't she beautiful?"
"The young woman in the middle of the photo is our boss. Beside her are her husband and mother-in-law. They have a very good relationship."
"I heard that many of our clients are personally introduced by her mother-in-law, and her husband fully supports this beauty business, providing all the investment."
"The friends behind them are also quite influential. Aren't they impressive?"
Xiang Wan: "..."
The staff member continued.
"You've all heard of Zhan Bei Jue, President Zhan, right? The beautiful woman behind the boss, we heard she's President Zhan's wife. The two beautiful girls next to her are his sisters."
"They are all good friends of our boss. With so many good friends and family supporting us, I believe our business will surely become better and better."
"Everyone, please rest assured, when you come to us for beauty treatments, we will definitely not let you regret it."
Hearing about the boss's powerful background, the girlfriend and her friend couldn't help but be intensely envious.
"Your boss and her husband are truly well-matched. A beautiful and wealthy woman with a handsome and rich man; how romantic."
"What's more, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship is so harmonious. Your boss is truly a winner in life."
"Is that really Zhan Bei Jue's wife? I've always heard the name Zhan Bei Jue, but I don't know him. His wife is also very beautiful."
