Chapter 174: Chapter 174 Do this job!
“Old lady came today just to show off this face!”
Yang Shuhui’s face showed modesty, but inside, her heart bubbled with joy.
Liu Man, besieged by questions from the surrounding wealthy ladies, gritted her teeth and laughed awkwardly, “How could I possibly mistreat my foster daughter? She’s well cared for at home. Sigh… Maybe I’ve raised an ungrateful wretch, I’m so good to her as her foster mother, and yet I’ve never seen her give anything in return.”
Having said so, Liu Man appeared very upset and sighed heavily.
The group of wealthy ladies around her hadn’t seen Bai Chuwei, and upon hearing Liu Man’s vivid description, couldn’t help but sigh sympathetically.
It sounded very much like ingratitude.
Now that Yang Shuhui had enough presence, and was superior to Liu Man in every way, she scoffed, “Last night when Weiwei was giving them out, didn’t you all think it was a scam preying on the elderly, selling health products, saying you wouldn’t even want them if offered?”
“Since you all didn’t want it, why should she give anything? Why should she offer her warm face up to your cold asses?”
Caught off guard by the remark, Liu Man immediately felt embarrassed. Yang Shuhui gently touched her face, soft as a peeled hard-boiled egg, and smiled tenderly, “Sister-in-law, didn’t you ask me to try it for you last night? Now I feel… it’s very, very good!”
The effect was obviously good.
Liu Man was so angry she almost spat blood and clenched her palms tightly!
Even if Liu Man said she didn’t care, seeing Yang Shuhui’s face today made her seethe with envy.
It was so much better than cosmetic procedures, beauty that seemed to radiate from inside out.
A socialite lady couldn’t hold back any longer, staring eagerly at Yang Shuhui: “Aunt Yang, I heard you only took half? Could you sell the other half to me? If it really works, I’ll pay… oh, not a hundred thousand but two hundred thousand.”
Fearing that Yang Shuhui would agree immediately, another wealthy lady quickly interjected, “Xiaohui, weren’t we classmates back then? Could you possibly give me the remaining half? If it really works as it did for you, I’ll pay you five hundred thousand!”
“Mrs. Bai, I’m willing to pay for it too!” Follow current novels on novel fire.net
In an instant, Yang Shuhui became the center of attention, like a queen with stars circling around her.
Even Liu Man had never experienced such treatment in her life.
Liu Man’s face turned pale, her mind churning with the name Bai Chuwei… that foster daughter was truly biting the hand that fed her. How could she give such a good thing to her great-aunt rather than her own foster mother?
Even in Bai Chuwei’s absence, Liu Man felt as if she had been slapped hard across the face by her.
Yesterday evening, their family of three was “sober among the drunken,” thinking themselves wise; did Bai Chuwei just consider them foolish for not recognizing the true value?
The more Liu Man thought about it, the angrier she became, and in a fit of rage, she stormed out slamming the door behind her.
Now, everyone was busy begging Yang Shuhui for the remaining half of the Beauty Pill, who had time to pay attention to Liu Man?
If she wants to leave, let her go; the door is right there, and nobody’s stopping her!
Having one less person competing for the Beauty Pill was better than anything.
Yang Shuhui was bubbling with happiness, watching her enthusiastic sisters, and said with some difficulty: “Although the Beauty Pill was given to me by my niece, it was after all given by her. Without her permission, I cannot just give it away to someone else.”
Throughout the years, Yang Shuhui had maintained a good relationship with her husband and Mrs. Bai, not only because of her family background and beauty but also because Yang Shuhui was very sensible.
The fact that Bai Chuwei did not give the Beauty Pill to Liu Man meant she was selective about whom she gave gifts to.
This pill, even sold for a million, would have women lining up to buy it.
Even if she were to give it away, at the very least she had to inform Bai Chuwei.
Bai Shang watched the frenzy of privileged ladies, clenching his fists subconsciously and grinding his teeth.
It seemed like he could make a fortune off of this!
Just then, a loud rumbling noise like an explosion came from upstairs…
