Chapter 1428: Bully The Ugly One!?
When Jiang Mingzhu was buried, Ye Qinghan placed Jiang Mingzhu’s jewelry case into the tomb.
Du Lingyang, who was at the funeral, saw it. He had never seen that jewelry case before.
Meng Yuqiao, who claimed to be Jiang Mingzhu’s good friend, didn’t even know about Jiang Mingzhu’s jewelry case.
Indeed, the only friend Jiang Mingzhu had ever acknowledged to the public was s.h.i.+ Hanchu.
But this young lady, Su Manman, actually knew!
As she spoke, Su Manman’s gaze swept over Meng Yuqiao. “Sister Mingzhu had struggled at the end and could only say one sentence to me. Before she fell unconscious again, she asked me to tell you to be careful of Du Lingyang!”
Meng Yuqiao gripped Ye Qinghan’s arm tightly. “What nonsense are you talking about! Lingyang was Mingzhu’s beloved boyfriend. How could she tell Aunt Han to be wary of Lingyang?”
Su Manman shrugged. “I don’t know about that. I’m only responsible for pa.s.sing the message!”
“Then, why have you only come to say it now?” Meng Yuqiao asked.
“That’s because I didn’t know that you, Du Lingyang’s girlfriend, were by Auntie’s side! No matter how I see it, you claiming one-sidedly that you’re Sister Mingzhu’s friend is suspicious. So, of course, I have to say it!” Su Manman looked at Ye Qinghan. “Sister Mingzhu said these words at the last moment of her life. I believe there must be a deeper meaning behind her words. I hope you’ll pay it some mind!”
Ye Qinghan’s breathing was a little erratic.
“Auntie, I know a lot about Sister Mingzhu. If you want to know more, why don’t you first ask me whether this friend of yours is real?” Su Manman then looked at the manager. “Can we begin the skincare treatment now?”
“Of course! Of course!” The manager hurriedly nodded at Su Manman while cautiously glancing at Ye Qinghan, who had an awful expression on her face. She then made an inviting gesture to follow her to Su Manman.
Su Manman left after saying that, not expressing her closeness to Ye Qinghan. Her casual manner… made her seem like a pa.s.serby who happened to mention a tidbit.
She told Ye Qinghan that she could always reach out to her if she wanted to know more about Jiang Mingzhu. It was as if she was saying it to Ye Qinghan because she didn’t like Meng Yuqiao.
When Su Manman turned her head, her expression darkened.
It was true, no one knew her mother better than her!
She couldn’t just pester Ye Qinghan to stay away from Du Lingyang and Meng Yuqiao!
Ye Qinghan might not believe her.
Only when she put on an indifferent att.i.tude, appearing like she had no particular interest in the matter, would Ye Qinghan start to believe her.
When they arrived at the VIP suite, the beautician applied the transparent facial mask on Su Manman’s face, turned on the infrared light, and went outside to wait.
Although she was wearing a pair of sungla.s.ses to protect her eyes and had her eyes tightly shut, perhaps because of the intense infrared light, tears started to fill Su Manman’s eyes.
She didn’t want to say a lot more because she was afraid Ye Qinghan’s safety would be compromised after Meng Yuqiao went back and reported to Du Lingyang.
After all, Ye Qinghan wasn’t wary of Meng Yuqiao and Du Lingyang now.
Would Ye Qinghan be willing to reach out to her?
If Ye Qinghan reached out to Su Manman, wanting to hear what Su Manman had to say about Jiang Mingzhu, it meant that even if it was just a little, Ye Qinghan’s blind trust for Du Lingyang and Meng Yuqiao must have already cracked.
Su Manman had to wait until Ye Qinghan was guarded against the adulterous couple. Only then would Su Manman tell Ye Qinghan about the past.
Take it slowly… She shouldn’t rush this matter…
After she was done with her beauty treatment, Su Manman looked at her fair skin and felt a little better!
Regardless of which lifetime it was, she always valued her appearance a great deal…
This was also thanks to Ye Qinghan’s teachings. After all… Ye Qinghan was a person who judged a book by its cover.
Ever since she was young, Jiang Mingzhu had learned the importance of a person’s appearance in order to walk in society conveniently.
Hence, Jiang Mingzhu decided that she had to be pretty.
Similarly, Dong Dong, who had done her beauty treatment, looked at Su Manman and then looked at her own skin in the mirror, feeling a little depressed. “The two of us have done the same kind of beauty treatment. Why is it that you’re so fair and supple, while my changes aren’t so obvious?”
At first, Dong Dong didn’t see Su Manman’s skin. She found herself rather pretty when she only saw herself… and she realized that she was a little fairer!
But when she saw Su Manman, she found it unacceptable.
Could it be that this beauty salon was bullying her because she was ugly?
Shouldn’t it turn the ugly into someone prettier?
Su Manman said to her, “Your face was about to turn into tree bark, but it’s better now! How isn’t it obvious? If you don’t believe me, ask Yang Weiyi. She’s the makeup artist who knows a person’s skin the best!”
Upon hearing Yang Weiyi’s name, she fell silent.
She didn’t have a high opinion of Yang Weiyi.
Who asked her to betray Su Manman?
Su Manman didn’t notice Dong Dong’s sour expression. She merely looked at herself in the mirror happily.
After applying some sunscreen, Su Manman walked out of the VIP suite and was stunned when she saw Ye Qinghan sitting on the sofa with a gla.s.s of water in her hand.
Upon seeing Su Manman, Ye Qinghan snapped out of her trance and put down the gla.s.s of water in her hand. She stood up and rubbed her arms, feeling a little helpless and reserved. She placed her hands in front of her abdomen and said elegantly, yet restrainedly, “I… want to hear more about Mingzhu. Is it convenient for Miss Su to… tell me?”
Ye Qinghan wasn’t an actress. Even if she tried her best to act calm, her small actions still betrayed her nervousness.
Su Manman’s knowledge about her daughter’s jewelry case had moved Ye Qinghan. She now believed Su Manman’s words.
Su Manman looked at Ye Qinghan and asked, “What do you want to know?”
Ye Qinghan’s throat vibrated. Her eyes seemed a little lost…
She didn’t know what she wanted to know either. Regarding her daughter… ever since she left her, she didn’t know anything about her daughter. She knew too little!
Su Manman looked at Ye Qinghan’s reddened eyes and softened her tone. “Then… let me tell you about Sister Mingzhu’s daily life! Is that okay?”
Ye Qinghan looked at Su Manman and nodded.
…
In the VIP lounge on the beauty parlor.
Ye Qinghan looked at Su Manman elegantly preparing a cup of tea…
Her movements were graceful and fluid.
She poured a cup of tea for Ye Qinghan and pushed it in front of her.
Ye Qinghan looked at the clear tea in front of her and picked it up. With one hand holding the bottom of the teacup, her eyes reddened.
“In the past, I’ve taught Mingzhu many times, but she never had the patience to learn!” The corners of Ye Qinghan’s lips curled up slightly. “I had always hoped for my daughter to learn tea skills like you.”
“Sister Mingzhu was the one who taught me how to brew tea!” Su Manman looked at Ye Qinghan and tried to control her emotions.
