Chapter 953 231 A heartless and ungrateful wretch_6

Chapter 953: 231: A heartless and ungrateful wretch!_6 Chapter 953: 231: A heartless and ungrateful wretch!_6 Du Jiaojiao was now regretting not heeding Ni Yang’s advice sooner!

“Bring over that set of skincare products the beauty sent you, and let me take a look,” Li Yao continued.

“Sure thing.” Du Jiaojiao quickly ran back to her room and brought over the Ice Muscle Jade Skin set.

Li Yao took the Ice Muscle Jade Skin, studying it carefully.

First of all, the aesthetics of these bottles and jars were quite impressive; they looked refreshing and smelled nice.

There wasn’t any of that irritating odor.

“You should call the beauty and ask where she bought these; I want to get a set too!” Seeing the great results on Du Jiaojiao, it was impossible not to be moved!

Li Yao was a doctor, and she could tell that these skincare products didn’t contain any of those messy harmful substances.

They might actually be useful!

“But I don’t know the beauty’s home phone number.”

Just then, Grandfather Du happened to walk in, and Li Yao whispered, “Maybe you could ask Grandfather Du?”

Li Yao felt a kind of inexplicable fear towards Grandfather Du, so she didn’t dare to ask him herself.

Just as Du Jiaojiao was about to say that Grandfather Du definitely wouldn’t know Ni Yang’s home number, she swallowed her words and looked up, “Third Brother, what’s the beauty’s phone number?”

“Beauty?” Grandfather Du was taken aback for a moment.

“Oh, you mean Yangyang,” Du Jiaojiao explained.

So it was Ni Yang.

The nickname was rather fitting.

“Do you need her for something?” Grandfather Du asked.

Du Jiaojiao explained the situation with the Ice Muscle Jade Skin, and then Grandfather Du effortlessly rattled off a string of numbers.

Du Jiaojiao was stunned.

So Grandfather Du knew Ni Yang’s home phone number.

That was truly surprising.

After getting Ni Yang’s number, Du Jiaojiao hurriedly made the call, “Beauty, that Ice Muscle Jade Skin you gave me last time is incredibly good! By the way, where is the store that sells Ice Muscle Jade Skin located?”

“Don’t mention it, you can find the Ice Muscle Jade Skin store in the Department Store, but…”

Ni Yang didn’t finish her sentence before Du Jiaojiao interrupted her, “Okay, okay, thank you so much, Yangyang. We’re going to buy some now.”

After the call ended, Du Jiaojiao dragged Li Yao out the door.

Ni Yang looked at the hung-up phone, sighed helplessly; she had wanted to tell Du Jiaojiao that the limited edition Ice Muscle Jade Skin wasn’t necessarily available at the Department Store, but Du Jiaojiao had hung up too quickly.

Wanting to prevent Du Jiaojiao from making a fruitless trip, Ni Yang dialed again.

The phone was quickly answered.

“Sister Jiaojiao, you hung up too fast…”

“It’s me.” A man’s voice came through.

It was as gentle as the spring breeze.

Ni Yang was startled, then realized, “Is that you, Big Brother Du? Where is Sister Jiaojiao?”

Grandfather Du glanced toward the door, “She’s gone out.”

“That fast?” Ni Yang was surprised, then said, “Then, please, can you pass on a message for me…”

Meanwhile, Du Jiaojiao and Li Yao discovered just how precious the Ice Muscle Jade Skin set was once they arrived at the actual store.

Not only did they need a membership card, but they also had to make a reservation months in advance; otherwise, it was impossible to buy.

Each store only had a few dozen sets available each month.

Li Yao was extremely disappointed, but luckily, the salesperson recommended a few other Ice Muscle Jade Skin products that weren’t limited editions.

On the way back, Li Yao was downcast.

With just over ten days left before she left Beijing, where could she wait for ten more days?

If only there were Ice Muscle Jade Skin stores in Shen City!

Why were all the good things in Beijing?

Du Jiaojiao comforted her: “Don’t worry, Li Yao. I’ll still be accompanying my third brother here for over half a year. When the time comes, I will send it to you.”

Li Yao replied weakly, “That is if you can get it.”

Now Du Jiaojiao was at a loss for words and sighed, “I don’t know how the beauty managed to get them. She’s truly amazing.”

The two returned to Deming Pavilion, dejected.

Grandfather Du sat on the sofa reading Buddhist Scriptures, and without looking up when they arrived, he asked, “Didn’t get it?”

“Right.” Du Jiaojiao nodded.

Grandfather Du then said, “Ni Yang called right after you left. She told me to tell you that the limited edition Ice Muscle Jade Skin set is hard to get, but if you want it, she can bring one set for you.”

“Really?” Du Jiaojiao suddenly got excited.

Li Yao’s eyes lit up too.

Grandfather Du nodded.

Du Jiaojiao exclaimed, “The beauty is really a beauty, with such wide connections! She can get anything! It looks like I won’t have to worry about running out of Ice Muscle Jade Skin!”

Li Yao followed up, “Jiaojiao, I’m going back to Shen City soon. Could you call and ask the beauty if she can bring a few more sets? I’m willing to pay double the price!” Such a great product would make a perfect gift!

Those wealthy ladies, none of them don’t care about beauty.

A set of precious skincare products could win over people’s hearts.

Du Jiaojiao nodded, “Okay, I’ll go now.”

…

During this time, the Liu Family practically visited Zhao Shuyue’s house every day.

But no matter what Liu Qinian said, Zhao Shuyue wouldn’t agree to leave Jinghua Village, nor would she allow Liu Ru to stay and take care of her.

For a while, Liu Qinian became anxious, and Jiu Wentang was too!

Zhao Shuyue was like a stone in a dung pit: stinky and hard, impervious to soft and hard tactics!

Liu Qinian sighed deeply, speaking earnestly, “Shuyue, you’re also at this age, we have been husband and wife for a lifetime, would I harm you? There’s no need for you to be so guarded against me. From the moment you married me, you became a member of the Liu Family, and after you pass on, you’re meant to be laid to rest in our Liu Family’s ancestral grave…”

After he finished speaking, Liu Qinian continued, “Shuyue, we are family now, so let’s not speak in terms of two households. You can’t always rely on outsiders, and I remember our father once said that our ancestors, during the Kangxi Emperor’s reign, secretly buried a stash of gold bars and treasured items, leaving behind a treasure map. Is that map with you now?”

Treasure map?

Zhao Shuyue’s brows furrowed slightly as she turned to look at Liu Qinian, incredulous, “You’re here for the treasure map?”

“No!” Liu Qinian shook his head in denial, “Of course not! In your eyes, am I that kind of heartless villain? I’m here to make amends! I’m just curious about the treasure map, I just asked casually. After all, we are family; is there any secret among family?”
