Chapter 568 Killing the Heart!
The woman in the OL uniform was very calm, maintaining a composed demeanor even in the face of Wang Cuicui's anger. She said, "The answer is simple. The cosmetics this lady is holding are our Huo Corporation's most precious limited edition cosmetics, number one and number two. Naturally, their packaging needs to be distinct from other numbered products."
As she spoke, the OL-uniformed woman looked respectfully at Jiang Biyun.
Silence fell upon the surroundings at her words. Wang Cuicui's eyes widened, and her friends' mouths gaped as if they could swallow an egg. All eyes, however, were fixed on the cosmetics in Jiang Biyun's hands.
As everyone knew, the limited edition cosmetics were globally limited, with only sixty-six boxes released. Each bore a number, and the smaller the number, the more precious the cosmetic, and the more distinguished the owner's identity had to be! They had never imagined that the two boxes of cosmetics in Jiang Biyun's hands were the most precious among the entire limited edition product line.
It was precisely for this reason that the OL-uniformed woman treated Jiang Biyun with such respect. After all, as far as she knew, the owners of cosmetics numbered within the top twenty were already figures at the forefront of the Forbes rich list.
Jiang Biyun looked at the cosmetics in her arms, completely stunned. She hadn't realized her cosmetics were so significant.
"Are you sure?" Wang Cuicui asked, taking a breath, incredulous. Given the Su family's recent financial difficulties, how could Jiang Biyun possibly obtain the most expensive cosmetics?
The OL-uniformed woman offered a professional smile. "Certainly confirmed."
"You all look here."
As she spoke, the OL-uniformed woman pointed to the golden Bauhinia flower number in the upper left corner of the sky-blue packaging box. "The number here represents the sequence of the limited edition products, which is beyond doubt."
Upon closer inspection! One of the cosmetics in Jiang Biyun's arms was numbered one, and the other was numbered two, clearly representing the first and second products! Wang Cuicui's cosmetic was marked with a sixty-six, representing number sixty-six. One could say they were worlds apart, with no comparison whatsoever!
At this moment, Wang Cuicui and the others had no choice but to believe, their faces turning an even uglier shade than if they had eaten excrement. Initially, Wang Cuicui was very happy to have obtained a limited edition cosmetic, as it was a luxury item many people could only dream of. However, now that she had received the very last cosmetic in the series, while her friend Jiang Biyun not only had the first but also the second, all her excitement and joy evaporated. She even felt as if she had been slapped hard in the face twice. She was displeased! Very displeased!
"Ms. Jiang, there is a hierarchy among the limited edition products. The earlier the sequence number, the better the product inside. As far as I know, the number one and number two products come with a few special additional cosmetics. Please remember to check them later." The OL-uniformed woman smiled charmingly, a smile quite different from her professional one for Wang Cuicui. The sequence numbers represented Jiang Biyun's extraordinary identity, warranting different treatment. In simple terms, her meaning was that Jiang Biyun was more noble than Wang Cuicui!
These words made Wang Cuicui's face look even worse, as if she had eaten a fly. Jiang Biyun nodded. "I understand! I'll be sure to check them carefully. Thank you!"
"Ms. Jiang, you are too kind. It's befitting of someone who obtained the number one and number two products. I shall not disturb you further and take my leave." With that, the OL-uniformed woman swayed her hips and departed.
Jiang Biyun's friends gazed enviously at the limited edition products in Jiang Biyun's arms, their eyes gleaming, almost drooling. However, due to what had just happened, they were too embarrassed to speak. Earlier, upon hearing that Wang Cuicui had obtained a limited edition product, they had helped Wang Cuicui belittle Jiang Biyun. But they never expected Jiang Biyun to possess the most precious number one and number two cosmetics! The number one and number two cosmetics were the earliest in the sequence and the most valuable. Moreover, they contained several additional items. Posting photos of them on social media would surely be very impressive.
Jiang Biyun naturally noticed her friends' gazes. With a smug look, she acted magnanimous. "Didn't you want to take photos? Hurry up and go inside to take them. Won't posting photos of my number one and number two cosmetics on social media be more impressive than one with a trailing number?"
"Xiao Yun, you're really willing to let us take photos?"
"Of course. It's just taking photos, it won't cost me anything."
"Xiao Yun, you're too good to me, I'm almost moved to tears."
"We're all friends, no need to be so polite!"
"Then let's go inside quickly."
The friends who had been following Wang Cuicui's lead now turned towards Jiang Biyun, their faces beaming with smiles, flocking to escort Jiang Biyun back to the Su family's living room, not even glancing at Wang Cuicui.
"Are you guys going too far?" Wang Cuicui gritted her teeth, looking at these turncoats. Many stiffened.
Jiang Biyun's eyes curved, her smile blooming like a flower. "Cuicui, do you want to come inside and take photos with them? After all, mine are number one and number two cosmetics, while yours is just the last one. Posting it on social media won't be very impressive."
Wang Cuicui almost spat out a mouthful of blood. These words were no different than killing her heart!
"No? Then never mind, let's go inside." Seeing Wang Cuicui remain silent, Jiang Biyun assumed she was unwilling and turned to lead her friends inside.
"I..." Wang Cuicui opened her mouth, but Jiang Biyun had already swayed her hips and walked inside.
...
After dinner, Chen Xuan sat on the sofa watching the news. Suddenly, Su Yunxi walked over, shaking the cosmetics in her hand in front of Chen Xuan. "Are these the cosmetics you gave me?"
Chen Xuan glanced at the sky-blue box in Su Yunxi's hand. The upper left corner bore the Arabic numeral 1, indeed the number one limited edition cosmetic. He frowned. "Your mother gave them to you?"
Su Yunxi nodded. Chen Xuan was slightly taken aback, then understood. Jiang Biyun had actually given the number one cosmetic to Su Yunxi, indicating that in Jiang Biyun's heart, she loved her daughter more than herself.
"Did you give them to me?" Su Yunxi asked again. Chen Xuan nodded. "Yes, I managed to get two boxes. One was for you, and the other was for your mother."
Su Yunxi's eyes curved, and she smiled. "I didn't realize you could be so considerate."
"Hm?" Chen Xuan was puzzled. "My mother was praising you profusely when she gave me the cosmetics, saying you brought her face and asking me to involve you more in upper-class circles and get you more involved in the family business. I think in a few days, my mother will treat you better than me." Su Yunxi's voice was a little sour. However, her eyes were full of joy. Su Yunxi had always been worried about Chen Xuan's relationship with Jiang Biyun. But she never expected that, as time passed, her demanding mother Jiang Biyun would actually begin to praise Chen Xuan. She even asked Su Yunxi to guide Chen Xuan and wanted Chen Xuan to represent the Su family in the upper-class circles of the provincial capital. This was clearly a sign of her acknowledging him as a son-in-law!
