Married to a mechanic, she shocked the world

Chapter 23: 020: Vulgar and Elegant_1 Chapter 23: 020: Vulgar and Elegant_1 Lin Guixiang didn’t know what the Hainan Mystery was, but Zhao Cuinong did.

The Hainan Mystery is an international big brand.

Since a set of skincare products can cost tens of thousands of yuan, it is also known as a luxury skincare line.

Zhao Cuinong had only used it once, and it was a gift from Lin Bingqiang on their wedding anniversary.

However, although it is positioned as high-end, anyone who has used it knows that the actual effects are just average and not as exaggerated as advertised!

Hearing this, Zhao Cuinong looked at Lin Guimei, “Second sister, I’ve used the Hainan Mystery too. But there’s no comparison between the Hainan Mystery and Xiao Wu’s Beauty Chant! After I used Beauty Chant once, the acne on my face cleared up. The Hainan Mystery doesn’t have that effect!”

If Lin Guimei were to refuse Lin Wu’s skincare product, she would definitely regret it!

Upon hearing this, Lin Guimei almost burst out laughing.

It’s understandable that Lin Guixiang, an illiterate, would not know, but she didn’t expect Zhao Cuinong to be so foolish either.

But upon reflection, it seemed normal.

After all, Zhao Cuinong was just someone from a rural household registration. How could she compare with a city person like her?

Just looking at Zhao Cuinong, it was clear she must have never used high-end skincare products, let alone the Hainan Mystery!

They were simply not on the same level; how could they communicate?

It was like talking to a summer bug about ice!

Zhao Cuinong might have been a college graduate, but she really should get out more.

The world outside is vast!

Lin Guixiang hadn’t even noticed the disdain in Lin Guimei’s eyes and nodded along, “Cuinong is right, Xiao Wu’s skincare product is really effective. Guimei, I see you also have a couple of pimples on your face. You should take it back and try it, I guarantee by tomorrow morning they’ll be all gone!”

Lin Guimei was speechless.

All gone by tomorrow morning? Did Lin Guixiang think this was some kind of miracle cure?

Even the Hainan Mystery, a big-name skincare product, couldn’t achieve such an effect!

The Hainan Mystery has a scientific research team.

What about Lin Wu?

What could a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old girl possibly know about skincare compared to the Hainan Mystery’s scientific research team?

Even though Lin Guimei was full of contempt, she didn’t show it and reluctantly accepted the skincare product from Lin Guixiang’s hand, “Then I’ll go back and give it a try.”

Lin Guixiang nodded, “You try it. If you run out, just come over and grab more!”

Run out and then grab more?

Don’t even think about it.

Even if they paid her, she wouldn’t dare to use this stuff!

Just then, Zhao Cuinong spoke up, “Second sister, I’m planning to invest in Xiao Wu’s business. Do you want to join in the investment?”

Lin Wu’s skincare business was just starting, so the more startup capital, the better.

And it just so happened that Lin Guimei wasn’t short on money.

“You want to invest?” Zhao Cuinong widened her eyes, almost thinking she heard wrong.

“Yes,” Zhao Cuinong smiled and said, “Xiao Wu is a clever girl, I believe she will definitely achieve great things in the future!”

“How much are you planning to invest?” Lin Guimei continued to ask.

“A hundred thousand,” Zhao Cuinong replied.

“You’re investing a hundred thousand?” Lin Guimei asked uncertainly.

Zhao Cuinong nodded, “Yes.”

Lin Guimei was speechless.

Crazy!

Truly crazy!

Investing this hundred thousand in Lin Wu was practically no different from throwing it into water.

Zhao Cuinong continued, “Second sister, just join in the investment! I guarantee you’ll make a hefty profit!”

Earn a hefty profit?

Upon hearing this, Lin Guimei’s eyes were full of mocking laughter, “You go ahead and invest, I don’t have much money on hand right now.”

She would have to be insane to follow this investment!

Her brother is also a fool!

To let a woman meddle with such matters recklessly.

A hundred thousand is not a small amount!

Zhao Cuinong poured a cup of water for Lin Guimei, “Second sister, you really should think this over. By the time Xiao Wu’s business takes off and you want to invest, it will be too late!”

Her words served as both a knock and a warning.

To prevent Lin Guimei from becoming jealous when she sees Lin Wu becoming wealthy!

Lin Wu had given Lin Guimei a chance. If she couldn’t grasp it herself, then she had no one else to blame!

“There’s no need to consider,” Lin Guimei declined gracefully, “I, for one, was simply never meant to strike it rich.”

Zhao Cuinong sensed the subtext in Lin Guimei’s words, “Second sister, you’ll have nowhere to cry when you regret it later!”

Regret?

A joke!

Would she regret?

If anyone should have regrets, it would be Zhao Cuinong!

That was a hundred thousand yuan.

Lin Guimei smiled as she took a sip of water, “Don’t worry, I won’t regret it.”

Zhao Cuinong nodded, “Alright, as long as you, Second Sister, don’t regret it, that’s fine. By the way, Second Sister, you came early this morning, is there something you want to tell us?”

Lin Guimei put down her glass, “Our Shan Shan came home from school last night since they’re on holiday, and she hasn’t even met Older Sister and Xiao Wu yet! I came to tell you that we should all have dinner at my place tonight, and let the kids meet each other. We don’t want relatives not to recognize each other if they bump into one on the street!”

The Sun Family could trace back three generations of intellectuals and truly came from a lineage of scholars.

Moreover, their daughter, Sun Shanshan had always been the pride of Lin Guimei’s heart, as she excelled in both character and learning, and would surely set a good example for Lin Wu.

It would show Lin Wu what a real child from the city was like.

So that Lin Wu wouldn’t spend all day dreaming only about getting rich!

Upon hearing this, Lin Guixiang nodded, “Okay, we’ll come over this evening!”

Last time she visited without bringing a gift, this time, she had to buy some gifts to bring along.

Lin Guimei stood up from her stool, “Then I’ll head back first!”

Lin Guixiang escorted her sister to the door.

Once she got home, Lin Guimei immediately tossed the small porcelain bottle in her hand into the trash can.

On this side.

Zhao Cuinong looked at Lin Wu, “Xiao Wu, I’m going to the company this morning to discuss my resignation. How about we go look at a storefront tomorrow morning?”

“Okay,” Lin Wu nodded slightly.

**
At half-past five in the evening, Lin Guixiang and Lin Wu went to visit the Sun Family together.

Accompanying them was the family of three from Lin Bingqiang.

The Sun Family lived on the fifth floor.

Lin Guixiang brought many gifts, including a fruit basket, a box of milk powder for the middle-aged and elderly, and two bottles of white liquor.

Knowing that the Sun Family was reputable, Lin Guixiang specifically chose expensive items to buy. The four gifts had cost her a total of a thousand yuan.

Although it was a bit pricey, for the sake of her sister’s face, it was worth it!

The door was closed.

Zhao Cuinong stood at the front and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened.

The one who opened the door was Mother Sun.

Mother Sun’s face was all smiles, “Look who’s here, your little uncle and aunt, and your great aunt, come in quickly.”

Lin Guixiang handed the gifts to Mother Sun, “Aunt Sun, this is a small token of my regard, please don’t disdain it.”

Mother Sun took them in her hands, “You came all this way, why bring anything at all! We’re family after all!”

Who would care about these things?

And besides.

Lin Guixiang suddenly bringing gifts over, she must have other motives.

Lin Guixiang then asked, “Where’s Shan Shan?”

“She’s practicing the piano in the study,” Mother Sun said with a smile, “I will call her. You should sit down, make yourselves at home.”

As soon as the door to the study opened, a wave of beautiful piano music came drifting out.

Being somewhat rustic, Lin Guixiang didn’t understand the piano, but she still found the sound pleasing to the ear and said instinctively, “That sounds wonderful! Even better than the erhu that our village’s Ma Teacher plays.”

The erhu?

Just as she walked out of the room, Sun Shanshan heard this remark and couldn’t help but smile sarcastically.

How could the vulgar sound of the erhu be compared to the elegance of the piano?

Country folks probably haven’t even seen a piano before, right?

Mother Sun went on to introduce, “Shan Shan, this is your great aunt, and this is your cousin, Lin Wu.”

Sun Shanshan looked at Lin Guixiang and frowned imperceptibly.

My goodness!

She was way too rustic.

She absolutely couldn’t let her classmates know she had such relatives.

With an effort, Sun Shanshan greeted, “Hello, Great Aunt.”

After speaking, she turned to look at Lin Wu, her face filled with a sense of superiority, “Cousin, I’m a junior at Qing City First High School. I heard from my mom that you also want to attend Qing City First High School. If you encounter any knowledge points in your studies that you don’t understand, you can ask me.”
