A local boyfriend?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu’s eyes widened, “Zhou Die, is Fang Hui’s boyfriend a local guy?”
“Yeah, I heard they’ve been dating for over half a year.”
Xiao Yu frowned slightly, “What taste does her boyfriend have? How could he be attracted to her!”
Girls drifting in Qing City all want to find a local guy to settle down with.
Xiao Yu was no exception.
She just couldn’t figure out what Fang Hui had that she didn’t.
Zhou Die looked towards Fang Hui’s bedroom, “Actually, Fang Hui looks quite pretty with makeup, and if she didn’t have acne, she would also be a great beauty!”
“But in this world, there are no ‘ifs’,” Xiao Yu continued, “I have a friend who works in cosmetic medicine, and she said Fang Hui’s acne is very hard to get rid of completely. Fang Hui is still using those messy skincare products, just wait, her face will be ruined sooner or later!”
“I think her boyfriend is just playing with her.”
Zhou Die nodded in agreement, “I think what you said makes a lot of sense.”
Considering Fang Hui’s current state, her boyfriend will definitely dump her, it’s just a matter of time.
Although their boyfriends weren’t locals from Qing City, at least they could go bare-faced in front of their boyfriends, unlike Fang Hui! She lives like a rat in the sewers, afraid to come out into the light.
Inside the room.
After removing her makeup, Fang Hui sat in front of the makeup mirror, carefully tearing open the Lotus Dew packaging and applying the clear ointment to her face.

Lin Family.
Once Lin Guimei heard that the skincare store opened today, she was the first to come and show her concern for her sister Lin Guixiang.
It’s not so much concern, as it is coming to watch the commotion.
Lin Guimei looked at Lin Guixiang, “Big sister, how’s business today? How much did you make?”
Lin Guixiang, always honest, replied, “We had a decent turnout today, I think the revenue is around 400 yuan.”
A decent turnout?
Revenue of 400 yuan?
It’s probably even less than 400 yuan.
But Lin Guixiang might be afraid of being mocked, so she told a white lie.
After all, who would buy products with no brand?
Suppressing the mockery in her eyes, Lin Guimei said, “Big sister, not to discourage you! I’ve said it before, you’re not cut out for the skincare business! The three of you busied yourselves all day just to make four hundred yuan, which isn’t even enough to cover rent and utilities! I think you better cut your losses quickly, think of a way to transfer the shop, and find a decent job to live a stable life.”
Lin Guixiang was always the type to think the grass was greener on the other side.
She thought she could do anything.
In fact.
She was good at nothing.
And she had no self-awareness about it.
Lin Guixiang said, “Gui Mei, even though we didn’t make much today, Xiao Wu said that this is just the beginning, and our business will get better and better.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Guimei slightly furrowed her brow.
Lin Wu was just an eighteen-year-old girl.
What did she know?
In Lin Guimei’s view, Lin Wu couldn’t even compare to her daughter’s pinkie.
Lin Guixiang was simply someone who wouldn’t turn back until she hit the wall!
People like Lin Guixiang should suffer more; otherwise, she will never realize her true worth!
Thinking thus, Lin Guimei said no more and stood up, “Big sister, I’ll be going back now.”
Watching her sister’s retreating figure, Lin Guixiang also stood up, “Gui Mei, wait a moment.”
“What is it?” Lin Guimei turned around.
Lin Guixiang continued, “Did you finish the skincare products I gave you last time? If you have, I can get you some more.”
“No need, big sister, I still have some at home,” Lin Guimei declined.
She wouldn’t dare to use such things even if somebody paid her!
As soon as Lin Guimei left, Zhao Cuinong came into the living room, “Big sister, where is Xiao Wu?”
“She’s in her room reading,” Lin Guixiang replied.
Zhao Cuinong nodded and went to the second bedroom, “Is Xiao Wu there?”
“Yes, auntie, you can come in directly, the door is not closed,” replied a voice from inside.
Hearing this, Zhao Cuinong pushed the door open.

Lin Wu was seen sitting at her desk, fiddling with something in her hands attentively.
“Xiao Wu, what are you doing?” Zhao Cuinong asked curiously.
Lin Wu replied in a light tone, “Fixing the computer.”
Though she had modified her phone, it still wasn’t as convenient to use as a computer, and the computers on the market didn’t meet Lin Wu’s standards.
So she had to build one herself.
Fixing a computer?
Zhao Cuinong looked at the pile of unrecognizable parts on the table, her face full of question marks.
Are you sure this can be assembled into a computer?
But Zhao Cuinong didn’t ask further, handing Lin Wu the paper bag she held, “Xiao Wu, this is a dress your uncle got for you while he was on a business trip to Guang City, see if you like it.”
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.
Lin Wu accepted the bag.
It was a form-fitting white dress from a well-known brand in Qing City.
“Thank you, uncle and auntie, I really like it.”
“We’re all family, no need for thanks! As long as you like it, Xiao Wu,” Zhao Cuinong said, “I won’t disturb you with your computer fixing.”

The following morning.
The first thing Fang Hui did after getting up was to look in the mirror.
At that moment when she saw the mirror, Fang Hui thought she was hallucinating.
But then she saw.
The acne, which had been red and swollen just last night, had disappeared by more than half overnight.
She could hardly believe it was true!
Fang Hui pinched her own thigh hard.
Hisss!
It hurt!
This wasn’t a dream!
It was real.
For a moment, Fang Hui was extremely excited. After so many years of suffering from acne, she finally saw hope.
Luckily, she had picked up the sample from the trash can again last night!
Otherwise, she would have regretted it for the rest of her life.
After finishing her skincare routine and applying makeup, Fang Hui immediately hurried to South Street, planning to buy several sets of skincare products to stock up.
Half-past eight in the morning.
As soon as Zhao Cuinong and Lin Guixiang opened their store, Fang Hui arrived.
“Boss! This Lotus Dew of yours is simply amazing! I want to buy several more jars to stock up,” she said.
Lin Guixiang said with a smile, “Young lady, the Lotus Dew works even better when used with the hydrating set.”
“Really?” Fang Hui asked.
Zhao Cuinong immediately nodded, “Of course it’s true!”
Fang Hui continued, “Then I want two sets!”
What if this effective product became unavailable in the future?
Hearing this, Zhao Cuinong immediately brought over two sets of the hydrating acne treatment kit, “Young lady, one set is 666, two sets would be 1332, but since you are our first customer today, we’ll round it down to 1300 for you.”
“Thank you, boss.”
Fang Hui had thought that since the Lotus Dew was so effective at treating acne, plus the hydrating products, it certainly wouldn’t be cheap!
But two sets were only 1300 yuan.
She knew that just any acne treatment set could cost over a thousand yuan.
And they weren’t even that effective.
Fang Hui efficiently paid and left.
Watching Fang Hui’s retreating figure, Zhao Cuinong turned to Lin Guixiang with a smile, “Big sister, it seems that Xiao Wu was right, ‘A good wine needs no bush!'”
Lin Guixiang, too, had a beaming smile, “Cuinong, you watch the store downstairs, I’ll go upstairs to make skincare products.”
The storefront was two stories tall.
Lin Wu had transformed the entire second floor into a sterile room.
It was fitted with many automated machines.
“Alright, big sister.”
After Fang Hui left, another customer came in right after.
Like Fang Hui, she was also returning to purchase after using a sample, buying three sets of the hydrating acne treatment kit totaling nearly two thousand yuan.
As the morning passed, although not many customers visited the store, almost everyone made a purchase, with the least being one set.
Noon.
Lin Wu walked out of her apartment building in the white dress that Lin Bingqiang had bought for her.
She planned to buy some raw materials at the flower and bird market and also wanted to check on South Street to see how the business was going that day.
The gentle breeze was blowing, causing her white dress hem to flutter incessantly. Her skin was already extremely fair, and now, set off by the white dress, she seemed to glow even more, drawing comments from people cooling off in the courtyard.
“Gui Mei’s niece is absolutely beautiful!”
“Yes! Even better looking than their Shan Shan.”
“…”
Sun Shanshan hadn’t even stepped into the courtyard when she heard such comments.
She frowned slightly.
Sun Shanshan had been a good student since she was a child, the “good child” in the mouths of all the parents in the courtyard, and in the past, it was always her they talked about.
But now, the focus had shifted to that countryside girl who was inferior to her in every way.
How could Sun Shanshan bear this?
Narrowing her eyes, she continued to walk in, and the next second, she ran into Lin Wu coming her way.
Seeing Lin Wu, Sun Shanshan was taken aback.
How was this bumpkin wearing a white dress exactly like the one she had on?
There was no need to wonder.
Lin Wu was imitating her.
This shameless copycat!
Did she really think that by wearing the same dress as she was, she could become a city person like her?
Wishful thinking.
A village girl will always remain a village girl!
Sun Shanshan looked at Lin Wu with a smile, “Cousin, the entrance exams for Qingzhong School are next month. How are your preparations?”
“Almost there,” Lin Wu responded indifferently.
Sun Shanshan continued, “Cousin, I wish you great success in your exam. I’ll wait for you at Qingzhong School.”
As she spoke the last sentence, Sun Shanshan lifted her chin, her eyes full of a sense of superiority.
“Thank you,” Lin Wu simply looked at her, “See you at Qingzhong School.”
Sun Shanshan was speechless.
See you at Qingzhong School?
Did Lin Wu really think she was someone special?
As if Qingzhong School was just some country high school?
