Chapter 565 Send It Over Immediately
Chen Xuan slept soundly, while Shi Menglu remained awake all night.
After breakfast, Chen Xuan started playing a match-three game.
At this moment, Jiang Biyun's expression was not very pleasant. She was having servants wash fruits and prepare tea, as if expecting uninvited guests.
Jiang Biyun had just received a call. Wang Cuicui and her girlfriends were coming over to sit with her.
They claimed it was just to sit, but Jiang Biyun knew very well that yesterday Chen Xuan had boasted that he would obtain the limited edition products from Huo's Cosmetics. They were here to mock him.
"Chen Xuan, you go upstairs first. Don't come down unless it's important," Jiang Biyun said, glancing at Chen Xuan.
This morning, Jiang Biyun received news that none of the four major families, three major financial groups, two major chambers of commerce, and two major martial arts families from the provincial capital had received the limited edition products from Huo's Cosmetics.
In the past, when the Su family was at its peak, Jiang Biyun would still hold a sliver of hope. Now, with the Su family's declining fortunes, far inferior to those top-tier families, Jiang Biyun no longer harbored any hope of obtaining the limited edition products. As for Chen Xuan's words, she dismissed them as boasting.
Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Auntie, your girlfriends are coming over? That's great. Let them also appreciate the limited edition cosmetics together."
Just now, Huo Yuhao had called and informed him that the person delivering the limited edition cosmetics was on their way.
"You dare to talk nonsense again!"
Jiang Biyun gritted her teeth, extremely angry.
She had thought Chen Xuan had mended his ways and could see hope, but how could he still be spouting nonsense?
"Alright, then I'll go upstairs first."
Chen Xuan couldn't be bothered to say anything more.
But as he stood up from the sofa to go upstairs, a burst of laughter erupted.
"Little Yun, as the saying goes, even a shy bride must meet her in-laws. Is your live-in son-in-law someone you can't show off?"
Hearing the laughter, Jiang Biyun's heart sank.
She saw Wang Cuicui, dressed gorgeously, and several equally fashionably dressed girlfriends walk in, chatting and laughing.
"How could that be? I was just asking him to go upstairs to get the best tea. Since you're here, I naturally have to handle things properly."
Jiang Biyun put on a forced smile, naturally unwilling to show weakness, otherwise, it would be a humiliation to her and the Su family. After these friends left, who knew what they would spread.
After speaking, Jiang Biyun glanced at Chen Xuan: "Chen Xuan, there's another box of Mother Tree Da Hong Pao in the cabinet to the left of the study. Quickly go and get it."
Chen Xuan nodded faintly and walked upstairs.
Before Chen Xuan went upstairs, Wang Cuicui smiled charmingly and said, "Don't you dare not come down. Auntie is still waiting for you here."
"Hurry up and go."
Jiang Biyun waved at Chen Xuan.
She knew that she probably couldn't avoid this ordeal today.
Chen Xuan went upstairs with a natural demeanor.
Soon, Chen Xuan returned from the study with the tea and handed it to Jiang Biyun.
"Little Yun, your son-in-law said he could get the limited edition Huo's Cosmetics today. Why isn't it here yet?"
Holding the steaming tea, a noblewoman next to Wang Cuicui, at Wang Cuicui's instruction, said with a busy smile.
Although the noblewoman was a middle-aged woman in her forties, she was very well-dressed. At first glance, one might mistake her for a young woman in her thirties, but in reality, she was old enough to be your mother.
A flicker of surprise crossed Jiang Biyun's eyes.
She thought to herself, even the expensive Da Hong Pao couldn't shut your mouth.
However, she maintained a smiling expression, "Drink water, drink water. Young people talk nonsense, don't take it seriously."
"How can that be? As the saying goes, a spoken word is a promise. Is your Su family's live-in son-in-law someone who doesn't keep his word?"
A woman sitting to Wang Cuicui's right also chimed in.
Jiang Biyun's face turned red, not knowing what to say, and could only grit her teeth in frustration.
This Mother Tree Da Hong Pao tea was wasted on dogs!
Wang Cuicui exchanged glances with the two women, looking smug, and deliberately said with a smile, "Hahaha, maybe Little Yun's son-in-law was just joking. Don't take it seriously, everyone."
Jiang Biyun was taken aback. She hadn't expected Wang Cuicui to give her an out.
Although she found it strange, she couldn't afford to care about it. Thinking that Wang Cuicui still remembered their friendship, she quickly took the opportunity to step down, "Cuicui is right, it was just a joke."
"So it was a joke!"
"I thought someone was a joke! Truly embarrassing."
"Our Cuicui is amazing. She got a call from Huo's Cosmetics early this morning. Huo's Cosmetics will specially send someone to deliver limited edition cosmetics to her. The Liang family indeed has influence!"
The girlfriends all gave thumbs up.
"It's alright, it's alright. I've already told the Huo's Cosmetics specialist to send them to the Su family later. We can all take a look at the limited edition Huo's Cosmetics and take photos!"
Wang Cuicui was beaming with joy.
Following that, her girlfriends showered Wang Cuicui with praise, almost lifting her to the heavens.
Jiang Biyun's eyes widened instantly upon hearing this.
She finally understood. Wang Cuicui wasn't giving her a way out, but rather, Wang Cuicui had obtained the limited edition products from Su's Cosmetics and was here to show off!
What was more infuriating was that Wang Cuicui had even arranged for them to be delivered to the Su family.
This kind of behavior was no different from a fatal blow!
Seeing Jiang Biyun's expression, Wang Cuicui became even more excited.
Wang Cuicui had pulled strings and finally persuaded Huo's Cosmetics to get a limited edition product. Upon hearing this news, Wang Cuicui was so excited she almost jumped.
These two girlfriends also wanted to borrow the Huo's Cosmetics from Wang Cuicui for a while to show off, which was why they were helping her.
Logically speaking, they were also from prominent families, wealthy families in the provincial capital, and wouldn't stoop to such things. But Huo's Cosmetics' limited edition products were too desirable. Even the top forces like the four major families hadn't obtained them.
If one could obtain such limited edition products, they wouldn't even need to apply them to their faces. Just taking photos for their social media would be enough to steal the spotlight.
"Little Yun, I'll let you take photos first later."
Wang Cuicui glanced at Jiang Biyun and said condescendingly.
"Cuicui is truly generous!"
"I didn't even get to be first... Little Yun, you're truly lucky."
The girlfriends said with smiles.
But the more they said this, the more displeased Jiang Biyun's face became.
Humiliation!
Barefaced humiliation!
"Auntie, what's the point of just taking photos? Shouldn't we get a couple of sets to use?"
Suddenly, Chen Xuan said with a smile.
As soon as he spoke, the surroundings fell silent. All eyes turned to the previously silent Chen Xuan in surprise.
Following that, with a snort, Wang Cuicui burst into laughter, and the others joined in.
"Get a couple of sets to use?"
"Do you think this is some cheap stuff from a street stall!"
"These are the most expensive cosmetics. I plan to put them in my collection room. You want to get two sets to use! What a joke!"
"Besides, do you have any?"
The others laughed wantonly, making Jiang Biyun's face turn red, truly wishing she could find a hole to burrow into.
But Chen Xuan smiled confidently and said, "Auntie, the limited edition cosmetics will be delivered immediately."
As soon as he said this, an utter silence fell upon the room!
