Zhou Qingyu was very cooperative, waving her hand enthusiastically, “Buy! Buy! Buy!”
In the past, when she gave Yan Xi gifts, Yan Xi would refuse the expensive ones. Today, it seemed that Yan Xi’s heartbreak had triggered a latent shopping desire in her.
This is how it should be! It’s not worth being sad over a man!
Although it was supposed to be a shopping trip for three, Xu Yangyang found herself left out. Of course, Xu Yangyang could buy things herself, as there was still a fresh one million in her account, but the luxury items in this store were a huge amount of money for her, and she was unwilling to spend it.
And then there was Yan Xi, who not only snatched her things but also made sarcastic comments, saying, “Sister Yangyang, it’s just because I’m heartbroken that Qingqing is being especially kind to me. You won’t be angry, will you?”
Xu Yangyang’s lips twitched, and she could feel the tightness at the corners of her eyes, which had been treated with Botox. It was hard for her to force out the words, “Of course… not.”
Yan Xi smiled sweetly, “Mm! I knew you were the most generous, Sister Yangyang!”
Throughout the afternoon, Yan Xi not only snatched up everything that Xu Yangyang had wanted Zhou Qingyu to pay for, but she also managed to increase Zhou Qingyu’s luck by 1 point. It was clear that preventing anyone outside of Zhou Qingyu’s circle from getting wealth from her also earned her luck.
Adding to the 1 point she earned earlier for stopping Zhou Qingyu from meeting Pei Yubai, and the 2 points from Zhou Qingyu giving gifts, Yan Xi had helped Zhou Qingyu accumulate 4 points of luck in just one afternoon!
She was very satisfied with her progress.
At 5 p.m., Yan Xi’s legs were sore from all the walking. She had always been weak physically, mostly sitting in front of a computer writing papers and doing projects at school, unlike Zhou Qingyu, who had to keep in shape for her celebrity status. Her stamina was naturally a bit weaker.
Zhou Qingyu noticed this and immediately dragged Yan Xi to a spa for a relaxing treatment.
Zhou Qingyu’s reason was, “We’re recording a live variety show tomorrow, so I need to look my best today!”
Xu Yangyang also went along, and Yan Xi didn’t stop her.
Since Xu Yangyang was an artist at Xingyao Entertainment, her looking good would help the company earn more money, which would also mean Zhou Qingyu would make more money.
From this perspective, Yan Xi actually hoped that Xu Yangyang would become very successful.
Upon entering the spa, the receptionist asked Zhou Qingyu to show her membership card.
Zhou Qingyu rummaged through her handbag but couldn’t find the card. “Never mind, just register with my phone number instead!”
The receptionist diligently registered Zhou Qingyu’s membership using her phone number. Just then, the spa manager appeared and, upon seeing Zhou Qingyu, immediately approached her.
“Miss Zhou! You’re here!”
“Mm,” Zhou Qingyu lazily lifted her eyelids, “I forgot my card, so I had them register with my phone number.”
The manager quickly responded, “Oh no! Someone of your VIP status doesn’t need to register! It’s just that the new receptionist didn’t know. Please, please come right in!”
The manager personally escorted Zhou Qingyu and the others to the therapy rooms.
While lying on the bed, Yan Xi curiously asked Zhou Qingyu, “Do you come here often?”
Yan Xi remembered that Zhou Qingyu usually preferred having beauty treatments done at home. She had even enjoyed that luxury when she stayed at Zhou Qingyu’s house before.
“No, but I did come to support when this store first opened,” Zhou Qingyu said.
At just the right moment, Xu Yangyang chimed in with flattery, “It must be because you’re so beautiful, Miss Zhou, that the manager remembers you!”
Zhou Qingyu casually stroked her chin, “This store has had a lot of celebrities, but I think it’s probably because I recharged a million last time and didn’t get a chance to spend it. That’s probably why they remember me so well!”
Yan Xi & Xu Yangyang: !!!
Yan Xi had only known that the Zhou family was wealthy, being one of the top families in Haicheng. But after reflecting on the novel’s plot, she began to have a clearer understanding of just how rich the Zhou family was.
The Zhou Group was the richest in Haicheng, ranking among the top ten in the world. The chairman of Zhou Group earned billions every day.
And the chairman of Zhou Group was Zhou Qingyu’s father, while the CEO was her brother, ZhouYanci. Even though Zhou Qingyu and her brother were on bad terms due to competition, at the end of the day, he was still her father, and the money would still come from him.
For a family like Zhou Qingyu’s, money was just a number. She already owned shares in the Zhou Group, with daily dividends exceeding a million.
So, recharging one million to a beauty salon was nothing to her.
Xu Yangyang continued to compliment Zhou Qingyu subtly, and then the beauticians came in to perform the spa treatment. The room was filled with a light scent of plant essential oils.
This beauty salon was the top-tier salon in Haicheng. The owner behind the scenes was a wealthy lady from a prominent family in Haicheng, and the clients were generally celebrities or figures from the upper class. A single session here could easily cost tens of thousands.
Yan Xi and the others comfortably lay on the beauty beds. Three massage therapists simultaneously attended to each person, providing full care from the face, to the body, to hands and feet.
The masks and various essential oil skincare products provided here were all high-end brands. Yan Xi didn’t recognize most of them, only recognizing the logos. Xu Yangyang secretly scanned the barcode of a mask with her phone and was shocked to find that one mask alone cost five hundred dollars.
This mask was much more expensive than the ones she usually used. If she could, Xu Yangyang would love to take an entire box home.
Zhou Qingyu noticed Xu Yangyang’s little move and scoffed, “You’re one of our Xingyao artists, and it’s just a few masks. Do you really have to be so uncultured?”
Xu Yangyang awkwardly touched her nose.
While the spa treatments were happening, the salon also provided a variety of foods—red wine, desserts, and fresh fruit. Considering that most of the customers here were conscious of their figures, the desserts offered were all low-sugar and low-calorie options.
After the spa session, Yan Xi felt completely relaxed. The soreness in her legs and feet was gone, and her skin was so smooth it could practically glow.
Yan Xi was truly beginning to experience the joys of being a wealthy woman. A whole afternoon spent shopping, buying bags, and getting a spa treatment—it was absolutely delightful!
Zhou Qingyu used to enjoy a simple and happy life as a wealthy woman, but unfortunately, after meeting Pei Yubai and being driven by the plot, she felt compelled to enter the entertainment industry.
After finishing the spa, they walked to the entrance of the beauty salon, and the sky was nearly dark. Yan Xi glanced at the time—it was 7 PM, time for dinner.
Standing at the door were Yan Xi and Zhou Qingyu, but Xu Yangyang hadn’t come out yet.
A moment later, Zhou Qingyu’s phone rang. It was Xu Yangyang, who said she had other matters to attend to and wouldn’t be joining them for dinner.
Zhou Qingyu didn’t mind and pulled Yan Xi along, planning to find a restaurant.
In her mind, the system’s small light ball appeared: 【Host, I see that Xu Yangyang hasn’t left yet. She’s still at the beauty salon!】
Yan Xi was puzzled. “What’s she still doing there?”
【What else could she be doing? Do you think Zhou Qingyu would come to this beauty salon again? Since she won’t, Xu Yangyang probably wants to use the money left on the membership card. After all, there’s over 800,000 left. Why waste it if she can take advantage of it!】
