Chapter 09.2

Jin Lie was somewhat surprised by Su Qian’s attitude. He stared at her for a few seconds.

Su Qian noticed, shrugged indifferently, “I already said yesterday, I will try my best to be a good roommate.”

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something.

“The Su family… I mean, my family hasn’t contacted you privately, have they? If they make some unreasonable demands, you can ignore them.”

“They have contacted me before.” Jin Lie put down his knife and fork, and wiped the corner of his mouth elegantly, “I have blacklisted them all.”

Su Qian nodded, well done!

Breakfast time ended, Jin Lie went to the company, and Su Qian was going to get herself some new clothes.

“Mrs. Wang, could you help me throw away the box and the clothes in the paper bag at the door later?”

“Sure, ma’am!”

Not long after Su Qian left, Jin Lie put down the newspaper, looked at the time on his wristwatch, and prepared to leave.

After putting on his shoes, he remembered something and instructed Mrs. Wang, “Later, the driver from home will come to pick up some things, you can let him take away the boxes at the door.”

Mrs. Wang was about to water the flowers in the yard, she replied while taking off her apron, “Understood, sir!”

.

Su Qian went to the Global Shopping Plaza. Today she was going to give herself a complete makeover.

The hair salon had just opened, and Su Qian, as the first customer, walked in. Teacher Tony dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, greeted her with a smile and enthusiastically asked what Su Qian wanted to do.

“I want to change my hairstyle and color.”

“Alright, this way please.”

Su Qian picked her favorite style from the album, and soon, Tony brought over a bottle of Evian mineral water and a small plate of macarons.

“Your face shape and temperament are more suitable for this style.” Tony tried to introduce, “Do another dye job, the effect of the perm will definitely be better than the one in the album.”

Coincidentally, Su Qian also liked this style. Since they agreed, she didn’t think much about it, “Then let’s go with this one.”

“Okay, no problem.”

Perming hair takes at least three to four hours. Su Qian left the rest to Tony and fell asleep peacefully.

She thought that with a charge standard of three thousand per hour, it wouldn’t be too bad. But when Su Qian opened her eyes and saw herself in the mirror, she wanted to blind Tony’s eyes with scissors.

The effect was far from what was shown in the album, there was no difference whether she had eyes or not.

“Is the reason your shop has few customers because of the high charges?”

Tony laughed awkwardly and said, “Miss, are you not satisfied? But the effect is much better than the one in the album!”

Su Qian stood up, and glared at him unhappily, “You turned a flamingo into a parrot with exploded feathers, is this called a good effect? It’s clearly a case of the goods not matching the description!”

It was definitely too late to redo it, and her hair wouldn’t be able to stand the torment.

Su Qian’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and in the end, the manager came out to solve the problem, gave a discount for this order, and promised that there would be discounts if she wanted to change her style in a few days.

Do they think she’s stupid to come back? With this level of skill, they dare to charge so much, it’s simply outrageous!

Coming out of the shop, Su Qian was still upset. She originally wanted to change to a delightful hairstyle, but it turned out to be not much better than her previous red curly hair.

She would have to wait a few days to change it again, so she had to think of a way to save it.

Looking up, Su Qian saw a wig shop across the street. She hesitated for a moment, then walked straight in.

.

Around ten in the morning, when Mrs. Wang came in after watering the flowers, the doorbell was ringing. She opened the door, and a young man in a black suit outside said, “The young master asked me to come and get something.”

Mrs. Wang reacted, quickly pointed to the paper boxes on the ground and said, “These are all here, you can take them.”

After sending the man away, seeing the paper bag left on the ground, Mrs. Wang remembered what Su Qian had asked her to throw away. She carefully recalled for a moment, then picked up the paper bag and went out, “It seems there’s nothing else…”

In the lavishly decorated living room, Mother Jin was sitting on the sofa, calling Jin Lie to tell him that the driver had already delivered the things.

“I know, let me know if you need anything else.”

Mother Jin’s eyes were full of joy, “What do you and Su Qian want to eat tonight? I’ll tell the kitchen to prepare.”

Jin Lie was flipping through some documents, not really caring, “You can decide.”

After hanging up the phone, Mother Jin began to unpack the boxes. They were filled with some valuable medicinal materials. Jin Lie knew that she was keen on taking care of herself, so he spent a lot of money to get these.

“Didn’t they say there were three boxes yesterday… why is there an extra one?” Mother Jin muttered to herself as she unpacked, “Did I remember wrong?”

When she opened the last box, it was stuffed full of flesh-colored plastic. Mother Jin paused slightly, thinking that the items were placed at the bottom because they were fragile.

Without thinking too much, she took out the pile of plastic.

With more space, the plastic began to slowly stretch and expand. In no time, the wrinkled true face was revealed.

Mother Jin was startled by the strange thing in front of her. She opened her mouth in shock, but quickly understood. She planned to pack it up as if nothing had happened and let the driver take it back, so no one would know about such an embarrassing incident.

If she hadn’t seen the bottle at the bottom of the box labeled “Delay. High Efficiency. Ascend to Heaven. Stand on Earth is not a Dream”, the situation might have been resolved perfectly.

Mother Jin looked at the colorful words on it, and her face changed instantly. The first reaction in her mind was that Su Qian and Jin Lie had once vaguely complained to her that Jin Lie wanted to sleep in separate rooms after they got married.

At that time, she thought it was because Jin Lie rejected this marriage, that’s why he acted that way. As feelings developed later, things would naturally change.

But now it seems that things are not as she thought.

Mother Jin took a deep breath, hastily stuffed the things back, and hurried to the study.

Bang——

The door was pushed open forcefully. Father Jin, who was reading some documents, looked up, “What happened that you’re so flustered?”

Mother Jin swallowed, walked over, and after a long struggle, she whispered in his ear, “You know, before Ah Lie got married, he never had a girlfriend, and even after marriage, he wanted to sleep in separate rooms. Could it be… could it be because there’s something he can’t talk about?”
