Chapter 252: Chapter 252 Did You Know All Along
The Mercedes sped toward the city center as Li Xueqing muttered, "The Spring Festival is coming up, and Ah Li and Xiao Cao’s new clothes still haven’t been bought. You didn’t even remind me. Just as well, we’ll buy them while we’re out shopping later... After lunch, let’s go for a spa. Then we can all celebrate the New Year beautifully."
Aunt Lan nodded with a smile, "Okay..."
Perhaps it was because the New Year was coming.
Or maybe it was the good mood from being back home.
During this period, although Li Xueqing seemed to be in average health, her spirits were inexplicably lifted.
She bought new spring outfits for Ye Li and Xiao Cao as their New Year’s new clothes.
She also bought skincare products and jewelry for herself and Aunt Lan.
Li Xueqing even prepared gifts for the driver and his family.
After lunch, the two went to the beauty salon that Li Xueqing used to frequent.
Li Xueqing was a senior VIP at this beauty salon.
Before the Ye Family’s predicament, Li Xueqing would visit two or three times a week.
Each visit was with a personal receptionist in a private, elegant booth.
On one hand, she felt certain Uncle Fu must have made arrangements already.
On the other hand, she worried about the what-ifs.
From the moment she stepped into the beauty salon, Aunt Lan started to feel nervous.
Upon seeing Lisa, who came to greet them with a smile, Aunt Lan’s heart that had been raised to her throat suddenly settled back down.
"I thought that with Mr. Ye away from Imperial City, you wouldn’t care about maintenance. I’m glad you came!"
As soon as Lisa spoke, Aunt Lan’s almost-stopped heart instantly returned to place.
Looking back, she saw Li Xueqing’s gentle smile, "I’ve been unwell recently, so I couldn’t think about other things. Rest assured, I’ll be coming more often!"
They proceeded to the upstairs booth, and even Aunt Lan, who tried to decline, ended up changing clothes and lying in the bed next to Li Xueqing.
First, a facial.
Then, a massage.
They chatted over herbal tea and the masseuse occasionally cracked jokes, making them feel comfortable from the inside out.
Several hours later, when they sat up, Li Xueqing touched her face and looked in the mirror, then turned to Aunt Lan and asked, "How is it? Do I look a bit better?"
Aunt Lan couldn’t help smiling, "You’ve always been beautiful! Otherwise, how could you have such a beautiful daughter?"
"That’s true."
When Ye Li was mentioned, Li Xueqing was full of pride.
She called the driver to pick them up, handed her handbag to Aunt Lan, and headed straight for the restroom.
The sound of running water started just as she heard Ye Li’s name, and Li Xueqing’s hand on the doorknob abruptly withdrew.
"...Everyone says that Ye Li has gotten together with Uncle Fu. Is it true?"
"I hope it’s not. But people say they’ve already registered their marriage—done deal."
"People are not always as they appear! I only thought she had a pretty face and was good at ’choosing her birth,’ but I didn’t expect she was also good at playing her cards, tossing Mr. Zhou aside and then clinging to Uncle Fu, tsk tsk tsk..."
"Luring the nephew and then the uncle. You think Mr. Ye could have died from anger because of Ye Li?"
"It’s possible. Otherwise, why haven’t they held a wedding to this day? That’s Uncle Fu... I heard that even Mrs. Ye doesn’t know about the marriage."
"Nonsense, would you dare to say it if you were in her place? Zhou Family and Ye Family have had ties for decades, and Mr. Zhou was the son-in-law handpicked by Mr. and Mrs. Ye. Not only did Ye Li call off the engagement on her own initiative, but she jumped the gun without even reporting it. Nope, she didn’t report it yet... Mrs. Ye would probably die of anger too if she found out!"
Ah Li.
Uncle Fu.
The wedding.
Li Xueqing’s face changed slightly as if something dawned on her.
She hurriedly pulled open the door, but there was no one in front of the sink.
As she stepped out, she encountered the smiling Aunt Lan, waiting for her.
Li Xueqing blurted out, "Sister Lan, did you already know about..."
Before she could finish, Li Xueqing abruptly stopped.
