Chapter 219: 080: Not Just One Identity_5

"That is," Shen Lijun said with a mix of pride and coy, "I told you my friend is amazing. You didn’t believe me before, but you have to believe me now, right?"

Loo Xiyue took the Immortal Phoenix like she was handling a treasure, squinting, "Junjun, your friend isn’t a scalper, are they?"

Other than a scalper, Loo Xiyue couldn’t think of another profession.

"How could that be! Xiao Wu is definitely not a scalper!"

Loo Xiyue continued, "How much for these two sets?"

"1620 yuan," Shen Lijun replied.

1620?

Loo Xiyue squinted her eyes, "Isn’t that the original price of Immortal Phoenix? She didn’t charge you a service fee?"

Currently, the selling price of Immortal Phoenix is 810 yuan per set.

At the scalpers’, the price had multiplied by five, reaching 4000 yuan per set.

And still, many people couldn’t get their hands on it.

"I told you, Xiao Wu is not a scalper," Shen Lijun continued, "I’m guessing she might have some relatives working at Beauty Chant, which is how she can get goods internally."

Although Lin Wu said that Beauty Chant was her family’s business, Shen Lijun didn’t quite believe her, thinking Lin Wu was just joking.

Beauty Chant’s business is booming.

She shouldn’t be living in a place like Wutong Road at all.

Loo Xiyue initially thought Lin Wu was deliberately getting close to Shen Lijun and was somewhat worried, but now she wasn’t worried at all and chuckled, "I didn’t expect your new friend to be somewhat useful."

"What do you mean by ’somewhat useful’?" Shen Lijun frowned slightly, "Xiao Wu is my best friend, not something you measure for benefits."

Realizing she had misspoken, Loo Xiyue quickly apologized, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Mom didn’t mean any harm, it was just a slip of the tongue."

After saying this, Loo Xiyue added, "Bring your friend over for a meal when you have time."

She was eager to see Lin Wu’s true colors.

Shen Lijun nodded, "When the time comes, you will definitely like Xiao Wu."

Loo Xiyue smiled and spoke; she did like beautiful girls, but she had yet to meet one that could make her like them at first sight.

Moreover, even though she and Shen Lijun were mother and daughter, their aesthetic tastes were quite different.

So...

Loo Xiyue didn’t think Lin Wu was that pretty.

Most likely, Shen Lijun saw Lin Wu through a filter.

The next day.

Loo Xiyue went to the club to join a gathering of rich ladies for a card game.

Without a doubt.

The star of the show today was still Liang Mengyi from the Capital Circle, the matriarch of the Huo Family.

Liang Mengyi had great bone structure, delicate features, and as the matriarch of the Huo Family, her aura was not to be underestimated.

If she didn’t wear heavy makeup to cover her freckles, she would also be a top-notch beauty.

Although the Shen Family was not short on money, as a nouveau riche, Loo Xiyue was still somewhat lacking in front of these cultured rich ladies, but fortunately, she was socially savvy and got along reasonably well in the circle.

As soon as Loo Xiyue arrived, someone greeted her, "Mrs. Shen has arrived, perfect timing, we need two more players to start three tables."

Loo Xiyue smiled, "I was late because I had to give my daughter a piano lesson this morning."

Piano, huh...

Loo Xiyue knew a bit.

But it was all taught to her by Shen Lijun, and she really didn’t have the ability to coach her daughter.

The reason she said this was just to subtly raise her own status.

After all, these rich ladies are quite snobbish.

Every single word spoken here needed to be carefully considered.

"No wonder," Mrs. Yao, who was close to Loo Xiyue, said with a smile, "I heard that Old Shen signed a deal with Mu’s a few days ago, congratulations."

"Just a small deal, nothing compared to your husband, Mr. Yao," Loo Xiyue was also one to flatter others.

That’s how it is in this circle.

Today, they are best friends sharing everything; tomorrow, they might fight to the death over interests.

So, in this circle.

Loo Xiyue made friends but not confidants.

After Loo Xiyue’s arrival, the group sat down and began to play cards.

Liang Mengyi was at the next table.

There’s always chit-chat at the card table, and the topics among women are usually about bags, skincare products, and clothes.

In the midst of the conversation, someone brought up Loo Xiyue’s skin.

"Mrs. Shen’s complexion has been looking good recently."

"Yes, indeed," Loo Xiyue smiled, "Can you tell? Actually, I’m not wearing any makeup today; I just put on some lipstick."

Mrs. Yao, astonished, said, "I thought you had light makeup on! I hadn’t expected you to look this good bare-faced; what brand of skincare are you using? Do tell."

"Yeah, do tell," the other wealthy ladies at the table were very curious.

Seeing the timing was right, Loo Xiyue followed up, "Do you know about Beauty Chant?"

"Beauty Chant?"

"Doesn’t sound familiar. Is that a new skincare line from a big brand?"
