Chapter 562: 148: The poisoning is extremely severe, Doctor Wang comes to find _5

“Yes, yes, yes!” Xiu Yingying nodded her head.

The saleswoman continued, “Sorry, we only have enough whitening moisturizer and anti-wrinkle cream for those already in line. You two can come back and buy on the 5th of next month.”

“It’s sold out?” Xiu Yingying said in surprise.

“Yes.

“How can it be sold out? Miss, can you help us? We came from a long way away, and it’s not easy for us to come all this way….” Xiu Yingying pleaded with the saleswoman, hoping she might bend the rules a bit.”

The saleswoman had encountered many such customers. “I’m sorry, but both the whitening moisturizer and anti-wrinkle cream are limited editions. I can’t do anything about it.”

“You work here, how can you not do anything about it? Can you make an exception for me, please? I’m willing to pay double to buy them.” Every since she started using the whitening moisturizer, Xiu Yingying’s complexion had greatly improved. She did not want to suddenly stop using it and have her skin return to her previous state.

Otherwise, given Xiu Yingying’s proud personality, she would never plead with a mere saleswoman.

“Even if you offer ten times the price or a hundred times the price, I still can’t help you. You may want to ask the other customers in line if they would be willing to sell at a high price.”

Upon hearing this, Xiu Yingying had no choice but to appeal to the others in line, even offering as much as five times the price, but no one agreed.

After all, those who could afford the Ice Jade Skin product were not ordinary people—they wouldn’t care about a few hundred yuan.

Seeing this, Xiu Yingying, feeling defeated, grabbed Mo Baichuan’s arm and walked back, “Cousin, let’s go.”

Just then, a gentle female voice broke through the air, “Mo Baichuan.”

Mo Baichuan looked up and saw a young woman in her mid-twenties. “Yes, how may I help you?”

The woman was none other than Zhao Jingrong. However, as she had been studying abroad since childhood and only met Mo Baichuan a few times. On top of that, Mo Baichuan was not at home the day she broke off the engagement so it was quite normal that he did not recognize her.

Zhao Jingrong said with a smile, “I am Zhao Jingrong.”

Recognition dawned on Mo Baichuan, “Ah, Miss Zhao.”

Xiu Yingying glanced at Zhao Jingrong and, finding her not that stunning, felt relieved. But when she saw the complete Ice Jade Skin beauty kit in Zhao Jingrong’s hands, envy welled up in her eyes.

Zhao Jingrong had bought the whole set!

Zhao Jingrong continued, “Mo Baichuan, you don’t hold any grudge against me for being your sixth uncle’s ex-fiancée, do you?”

Mo Baichuan smiled, “Even birds know to choose a tree for shelter. I don’t blame you, Miss Zhao.”

Mo Qishen was useless, while Zhao Jingrong had just returned from her studies abroad. It was only natural that she wouldn’t settle for Mo Qishen.

Zhao Jingrong’s soft voice resonated again, “I had no idea there was someone as understanding as you in the Mo family. I thought everyone in the Mo family was as self-unaware as Mo Qishen!”

With her remark, Zhao Jingrong had managed both to put down Mo Qishen and elevate herself, whilst indirectly appeasing Mo Baichuan.

Everyone enjoys hearing good things about themselves.

From her first sentence, she inferred that Mo Baichuan didn’t like his Uncle Mo Qishen. If he had any regard for him as his uncle, he would have unhesitatingly defended Mo Qishen.

But he didn’t.

“Why would that be?” Mo Baichuan chuckled.

Zhao Jingrong pretended not to know, “By the way, who is this beautiful lady at your side? Your girlfriend?”

“No,” Mo Baichuan continued, “This is my cousin, Xiu Yingying.”

Xiu Yingying naturally felt pleased at being complimented for her beauty, and so her opinion of Zhao Jingrong improved considerably.

Zhao Jingrong laughed, “So, it’s Sister Xiu Yingying, you’re here to buy Ice Jade Skin too.”

“Yes,” Xiu Yingying nodded, adding, “Unfortunately, the saleswoman told me that the whitening moisturizer and anti-wrinkle cream are sold out. It seems I will have to come back at the beginning of the month.”

With that, she let out a sigh.

Zhao Jingrong chimed in, “Don’t be upset, Sister Xiu. As it happens, I have the whitening moisturizer and anti-wrinkle cream in my full set of Ice Jade Skin. I’ll give them to you.” She had been worried about how to get closer to Mo Baichuan, and then this perfect opportunity presented itself.

Xiu Yingying did not expect Zhao Jingrong to be so generous. She replied somewhat embarrassed, “Sister Jingrong, isn’t that too much? What about you?”
