"Last time the wedding was held in such a rush, we old sisters planned a trip and couldn't make it."
"We heard the wife you found was exceptionally beautiful, and we all regretted it. Fortunately, today we have the chance to see her with our own eyes."
"She lives up to her reputation. Truly a beauty chosen from a million, and intelligent too."
"In all my years, I've been to at least eight or nine beauty salons. This is the first time I've seen someone so beautiful, who makes one feel so good, both physically and mentally."
"We'll definitely recommend this to our other sisters. Ah Zhe, your aunts are rooting for you, you have good taste."
"Thank you, Auntie. You've been so supportive of Jiao Jiao's business, she must thank you properly."
"We'll have her give you a few more coupons. From now on, our beautiful young faces will be in Jiao Jiao's hands. You're always welcome here."
In short, everyone had a very enjoyable time today.
Chen Jiao Jiao's account received a very handsome sum.
Mother Lu also gained considerable prestige.
After a busy morning, before Chen Jiao Jiao could even treat everyone to lunch, Jiang Nan Fang had to take her leave.
There was a meeting at the company she couldn't miss.
Zhou Jin Bei needed to return to the hospital to care for Ah Zhong's father, and Min Er had only taken half a day off, so she had to leave too.
"I'm so grateful you could all take time out of 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 and print it, hang it here, and let you few help me bring in wealth and prosperity, okay?" Jiang Nan Fang said.
"Since you think so highly of us, of course, there's no problem."
"Indeed. Just in case it doesn't work out, don't blame us."
Chen Jiao Jiao called someone over, gathered Mother Lu and her friends, and they took a large group photo.
Due to the salon's high-end and beautiful environment, and its first-class beautiful and professional staff, it quickly spread throughout the wealthy circles.
A few days later, Xiang Wan also received a coupon from a good friend.
"Wan Jie, a new beauty salon has opened. Its reputation is quite good, and the discounts are significant."
"My friend gave me two coupons. I'm free this afternoon, shall we go and try it out?"
"I haven't had any treatments in so long, I feel like my pores are almost clogged."
Xiang Wan hadn't been to a beauty salon recently either.
As a woman, her face was the most important thing.
No matter what, she had to make time to pay attention to it.
Her friend had made an appointment in advance. At three in the afternoon, the three of them went together.
It was indeed beautiful.
Upon entering, it felt like stepping into a high-end hot spring resort.
The view was expansive, and the environment was elegant.
Her friend looked around excitedly.
"We haven't even started the treatments yet, but just for this environment, I already want to sign up for a membership here."
"Everyone praises it. Things that are well-spoken of are indeed good things."
They all opted for a basic treatment package.
After the experience, they felt refreshed and rejuvenated. Xiang Wan even managed to take a beautiful nap.
The staff neither pushed for additional services nor pressured them to sign up for a membership.
This was the most pleasing aspect.
Before leaving, they voluntarily 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 intently.
As she listened, Xiang Wan felt something draw her attention, making her secretly want to look over.
Then her mind wandered.
Her gaze shifted, and she saw a large group photo hanging on the wall behind the staff.
She was immediately captivated by the two people standing in the center of the photo.
In the middle of the photo stood a man and a woman.
The man wore a white shirt and black trousers, was young and handsome, with a tall and straight posture.
The woman also wore a white shirt, a dark blue A-line skirt, with a silk scarf of the same color as the collar tied diagonally at her neckline. Her hair was styled up.
She held the man's arm and smiled sweetly at the camera.
She looked intellectual and elegant, like a bank employee or perhaps an airline flight attendant.
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 beautiful face and gentle eyes, also intimately holding the woman's arm.
Her appearance was strikingly similar to the man on her left.
With Xiang Wan's intelligence, she didn't need to be told to guess.
That must be Lu Ming Zhe, his wife, and his mother.
The three stood in the center of the photo, making it clear they were the main subjects of this picture.
Could it be that this beauty salon was opened by him?
Everyone's faces wore polite smiles, their eyes fixed straight ahead.
Yet, at this moment, it felt as if they were staring at her.
She was the woman Lu Ming Zhe spoke of constantly, the one he claimed not to love at all and wanted 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 say 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 hold his arm in a photo.
Willing to have such a harmonious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship.
How could he possibly have thoughts of divorce at any moment?
It was as if this photo was hung here 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 legitimate, talented, and beautiful couple; what was she?
A pawn used by her husband for amusement when he was bored?
A cheap woman who could be dismissed with a few sweet words?
He said he had no feelings, so he had no feelings. He said he didn't love his wife, so he didn't love his wife. These were common tactics men used.
Did she really believe such nonsense?
The more she looked, the more uncomfortable Xiang Wan felt.
She even felt her face flush, insecure, and her heart ache from staring at the photo.
Seeing her staring blankly at the photo on the wall for a long time,
The staff member looked back.
"Oh, this was taken by our boss and her family on the opening day. Isn't it 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."
"We heard that many of our clients are personally introduced by her mother-in-law. Her husband also strongly supports the beauty business, providing all the investment."
"The friends behind them are all quite prominent. Aren't they impressive?"
Xiang Wan: "..."
The staff member continued.
"You've all heard of Zhan Bei Jue, haven't you? The beautiful woman behind the boss is said to be President Zhan's wife, and the two pretty girls beside him are his sisters."
"They are all good friends of our boss. With so many good friends and family members giving their strong support, I believe our business will surely prosper."
"Everyone, rest assured, when you come to us for beauty treatments, we will definitely not let you regret it."
Her friend and her friend were envious upon hearing about the boss's powerful background.
"Your boss and her husband are truly a perfect match. A beautiful and wealthy woman paired with a handsome and rich man, how romantic."
"The key is that their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship is also so harmonious. Your boss is truly a winner in life."
"Is that really Zhan Bei Jue's wife? I always hear the name Zhan Bei Jue, but I don't know him. His wife is also very beautiful."
