Chapter 424: 429 Unique encounter between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law2_1

The privileged woman chuckled, seemingly in a good mood. "So you’re saying that old customers aren’t as valuable as new ones and don’t offer you the same allure, right?"

The boss glanced up at Lin Xiangwan in the mirror, picked up a wisp of hair, and continued snipping. "Not exactly, I’d naturally be happy to gain a new customer! But as a regular, I know you won’t choose me, right?"

"He-he... You’ve got a point!" The lady moved to a chair nearby, tugging at her hair nonstop in front of the mirror.

In the mirror, a look of dissatisfaction appeared on her face. She evidently despised her current hairstyle. "I must make myself look stunning today and shame Qin Muchuan’s wife..."

Lin Xiangwan hadn’t been paying much attention to the woman, but the mention of a familiar name instantly drew her focus.

Qin Muchuan?

Cough, cough, she hadn’t heard incorrectly, the name the woman mentioned was indeed Qin Muchuan.

The most significant part was that she mentioned Qin Muchuan’s wife.

Wait, wasn’t that her?

What were these two people’s relations with Qin Muchuan? She took a closer look to find out.

The older one was quite tall by the standards of her age, reaching over one meter sixty. Her skin was fair, even almost paper-white. Despite the general attractiveness of fair skin, this type of paleness seemed weird, almost bloodless, making it hard to favor.

Of course, Lin Xiangwan just chuckled at herself in her mind, it was probably just her jealousy.

Men probably liked this type of skin that was so fair as to reveal veins.

But this woman was handsomely dressed and decked in jewels, clearly a wealthy woman.

The woman nearby was also beautiful, bearing some resemblance to the older woman. The younger woman seemed rather nice and gentle, perhaps a good person?

However, there were too many white lotus flowers these days. Thus, it was hard to tell from just appearances whether she was indeed a good person.

The younger woman spoke up. "Exactly, we must show that woman that she, with her slum origins, has no right to step foot in the Qin Family. You’ve managed to get in, but we won’t let you feel comfortable!"

"Hmm..." The older one continued. "Remembering that woman angers me. Had she not meddled, you could have married Qin Muchuan!"

Upon hearing this, the younger woman also became animated. "Indeed, back then I was Tongtong’s mother. Qin Muchuan believed it to be true. It would only have been a matter of time before I married him!"

"Hateful, all this is the fault of that damned woman!" The lady pointed at the young girl. "Doll up today as well and go to the Qin’s residence. Let’s outdo that woman!"

The girl looked a bit frightened and nervously spoke, "Auntie, let’s not. I deceived Qin Muchuan over Tongtong. He didn’t kill me only because I was lucky, why would I go there and remind him? Want him to kill me?"

"Don’t fret, I’ll protect you. He wouldn’t dare!" The lady confidently thumped her chest.

The girl chuckled and forced a smile. "Auntie, I trust you but... let’s not take this risk, okay?"

"Humph, you don’t believe in my influence in the Qin Family, do you?" The aunt couldn’t help getting a bit angry.

"Definitely not!" The girl hastily shook her head to avoid offending her aunt.

However, she thought to herself: I really cannot trust you. You aren’t the same as you were ten years before. Now, you are scarcely loved by my uncle.

Qin Muchuan now holds the reins of the entire Huatai. He has nothing to fear from you, why would he heed you?

Hearing their conversation, Lin Xiangwan finally figured out who these two were.

The older one was Qin Muchuan’s stepmother, and the younger woman... the evil woman who kidnapped her daughter all those years ago!

Damn, divine retribution!

After all these years, she had finally found her.

A wave of anger flooded through Lin Xiangwan, its intoxicating heat spreading to her chest.

Angry, so angry, she was about to burst from the rage!

She stared unblinkingly at the woman, as if to burn the hateful face into her heart.

The lady glanced again in Lin Xiangwan’s direction and addressed the boss, "Xiaoshi, I’m rather impatient. As soon as you’re done with this customer, do me next. I’ll go ahead and wash my hair!"

Xiaoshi glanced at her with indifference before replying. "If you wash your own hair and don’t do it properly, it will affect the outcome. Why not take a walk outside and come back later? An assistant will be on duty soon. Let them wash your hair for you!"

Although his words were unassailable, the lady still found faults and grudgingly retorted, "What do you mean? You don’t want to cut my hair, do you?"

"How could I?"

"Then why not?! I bet that’s exactly what you’re thinking!" Xu Feng’e exclaimed hysterically. "Xiaoshi, don’t forget that I’m a VIP who spends big at your business. Dismissing me so casually could be a significant loss for you, you know?"

The boss gave her one last glance, still maintaining an even and mild demeanor. "Ideally, I’d like to wash and cut your hair right now. Unfortunately, I only have one pair of hands and I’m currently occupied. If I was to tend to you right now, I simply wouldn’t be able to. I hope you can understand. If not, please take a seat, help yourself to some mineral water, and rest a while. Once I’m available, I’ll explain everything. How about that?"

"Hmph..." The lady huffed, but she seemed to accept his pacifying words.

Suppressing a scorching anger, Lin Xiangwan could no longer remain calm.

She suddenly looked at the boss, blushing a bit. "Boss, I thought of changing my hair color and adding some texture. That should make my hair appear fuller, right?"

"Absolutely, making those changes will certainly make you more beautiful and vivacious!" The boss replied promptly.

Maybe it was an illusion, but Lin Xiangwan felt that the boss was especially happy. It seemed he didn’t really want to serve the older woman.

No wonder, a woman her age, acting bossy and shrew-like, who could think well of her?

As expected, Xu Feng’e glared at Lin Xiangwan with rage, looking at her through the mirror. "Oh, which lady dare take my appointment slot?"

Lin Xiangwan arrogantly closed her eyes, intent on irritating Xu Feng’e some more.

"Hey, I have important business later. Xiaoshi can only cut your hair, not style it!" Xu Feng’e spoke as if she were the boss, issuing commands.

Still, Lin Xiangwan ignored her.

"Didn’t you hear me? You tramp, do you enjoy provoking me?" Xu Feng’e shouted disdainfully at her.
