Ye Fei immediately walked into the beauty salon and picked up a bottle of face cream from the display window that was identical to the one the woman was holding, then carefully identified it.
He Jingyao, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, thought of calling the police first when faced with this situation.
She was very confident in her own products; after all, these products had been used for several years and had never encountered such a situation.
She then walked forward and said,
"Madam, since you claim that this skincare product was bought from our beauty salon, we will not suffer in silence."
"If it is indeed a problem with our beauty salon, we will certainly bear the corresponding responsibility, but if someone has been bribed to deliberately slander us, we will also hold them accountable without leniency!"
"I think we should call the police!"
In fact, this was not the first time He Jingyao had encountered such a scene in recent years.
In the past, whenever she suggested calling the police, those who came to slander their beauty salon would flee in disarray.
So, she adopted the same approach this time.
However, to her surprise, the woman in the dress showed no signs of backing down.
"Fine, call the police if you dare. I'd like to see how you try to cover things up!"
The woman in the dress was clearly unafraid and became even more aggressive.
Just as He Jingyao was in a dilemma, Ye Fei walked up to her and said to the woman in the dress,
"Let me see the bottle you're holding."
"I'll take a look too."
The woman in the dress was not flustered at all and handed the bottle to Ye Fei.
"Take a good look. I'm not lying; I really bought it from here."
"See for yourself!"
After taking the bottle, Ye Fei carefully compared it with the skincare product bottle he had examined earlier.
After a thorough inspection, Ye Fei discovered that it indeed originated from this beauty salon.
Then, Ye Fei continued to examine it and finally found a slight difference.
The ingredients of the face cream inside were clearly different from those of the face cream he had just seen.
However, the difference was only subtle, with only one or two ingredients altered.
But these one or two ingredients were enough to cause freckles and facial ulceration.
Ye Fei's lips curved, and he immediately spoke,
"The bottle of your skincare product indeed comes from this beauty salon, but can you swear on your conscience that the face cream inside also comes from this beauty salon?"
"Isn't this a staged performance by you?"
"Wake up! If you don't confess, we have the right to sue you directly!"
"I'll give you ten seconds to consider. The countdown begins!"
Upon hearing Ye Fei's words, the middle-aged woman in the dress broke out in a cold sweat.
She couldn't understand how he had discovered it, given that the face cream was identical in both scent and appearance.
Was he bluffing?
Yes, it must be!
She absolutely couldn't fall for this man's trick!
"You and the boss next to you are in cahoots, so of course you're helping her. Regardless, you must provide evidence!"
Having said this, the woman in the dress, with her pitted face, regained her confidence and continued to confront Ye Fei and the others, her face not flushed and her heartbeat steady.
"Fine, since you refuse a toast and prefer a retort, I won't show you any more courtesy!"
"From what I've discovered, you must have been commissioned by someone, and you've gone to great lengths to suppress our beauty salon, haven't you?"
"Let me tell you, although you've only slightly altered the ingredients of the face cream, the effect is the opposite.
"Your current facial condition is your own doing!"
"Tell the person behind you that our beauty salon isn't easily scared. Bring on any other tricks you have; we're waiting!"
"I can tell you very clearly, your face will never recover to its former state!"
"I don't know if it's worth it for this little bit of money!"
Ye Fei sneered.
"Impossible. He told me that as long as I stopped applying their concocted face cream, my face would recover quickly. Don't slander me!"
Wow.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present began to discuss.
The rumors about the beauty salon's skincare products were debunked.
"This person is truly wicked; I can't believe she's so malicious!"
"Evil deeds are rewarded with evil. If she hadn't come to slander Miss He's beauty salon for money, she wouldn't have ended up like this!"
"Who can say otherwise!"
Ye Fei was satisfied to see this scene, and He Jingyao beside him also breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, Ye Fei's intervention had solved a major problem for her.
Taking a deep breath, He Jingyao began to handle the aftermath.
She invited the clients who needed beauty treatments into the salon and dispersed the onlookers. The corridor of the beauty salon finally returned to peace.
Only Ye Fei, He Jingyao, and the troublemaking woman in the dress remained.
"Madam, for slandering our beauty salon's reputation in public today, all of our He family's beauty salons will be closed to you from now on. You can await retaliation from the He family!"
He Jingyao was furious. If Ye Fei hadn't been there today to calmly expose her scheme, her beauty salon would have suffered heavy losses.
"Miss He, please forgive me. I was also misled by someone!"
"Don't worry, I definitely won't dare to oppose you again in the future!"
"Please take pity on me. If it weren't for my child's medical treatment, I wouldn't have taken this path!"
With a bang, the woman in the dress suddenly knelt down and began to kowtow.
He Jingyao frowned deeply but ultimately kindly let the woman leave.
After everything was resolved, He Jingyao finally had the time to thank Ye Fei.
"Ye Fei, thank you so much just now. If you hadn't been here, my beauty salon might not have been able to stay open."
"Thank you."
He Jingyao said earnestly.
"There's no need for that. We can be considered friends, after all. If a friend is in trouble, I naturally can't stand by and do nothing."
"Of course, if you want to thank me, then just cancel our engagement as soon as possible."
He Jingyao, who had been deeply moved, immediately became angry upon hearing Ye Fei talk about canceling the engagement.
Was she that ugly?
Otherwise, why would Ye Fei only want to break off the engagement with her?
This was simply an insult to her charm!
"Hmph."
He Jingyao snorted coldly and walked directly into the beauty salon.
Leaving Ye Fei standing there, utterly bewildered, not knowing what he had done to offend her this time.
