Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Madame Qiao felt a surge of anger and frustration upon learning the extent of Qiao Xuan’s success. It was a substantial amount of money that Qiao Xuan had made from the lipstick business.
The popularity of the lipsticks had persisted for over a year in the province, and yet Madame Qiao and her Old Master had struggled immensely to gather enough funds for Old Master’s position in the capital. If only she had known about Qiao Xuan’s financial success earlier, she wouldn’t have endured so many sleepless nights or sold precious belongings.
Qiao Xuan, seemingly aware of Madame Qiao’s vexation, added fuel to the fire with a mischievous smile. “Actually, it’s not entirely my doing. My sister-in-laws have been instrumental, and this wealth belongs to the Shao Family.”
Madame Qiao forced a smile, understanding that Qiao Xuan was purposefully provoking her. However, she was at a loss as to what she could do about the situation. Even though she now knew that Qiao Xuan was the mastermind behind the profitable lipstick business, she was powerless to take action against her.
Madame Qiao’s mind was filled with determination. She refused to let go of the matter regarding the lipsticks. She planned to discuss it with the Old Master, seeking to acquire the instructions and secure a continuous source of wealth for their family. With the success of the lipstick business, both she and the Old Master would no longer have to face financial hardships.
Furthermore, Madame Qiao had heard that the lipsticks had made their way to the capital and were receiving positive acclaim. If she could obtain the source of these lipsticks, she could establish connections with influential and noble individuals, potentially improving their social standing.
For now, she would have to endure and bide her time.
“The Shao Family is indeed remarkable. You’re fortunate to have married into such a capable family,” Madame Qiao remarked sarcastically.
Qiao Xuan maintained her composure and replied, “Thank you for acknowledging their assistance, Mother. I will always remember your kindness.’
Madame Qiao sneered in response. “Make sure you do.”
She then took Qiao Wei and Qiao Kou with her, and Qiao Wei was on the verge of asking a question when she abruptly stopped.
“Mother, the Shao Family is quite formidable. Shao Yunduan is just an ordinary Recommended Man. They think they have already reached great heights!’
Qiao Wei was seething with anger. ‘Qiao Xuan never mentioned this house to us. Is it so degrading to have a house like this? She didn’t even invite us to stay. But I wouldn’t want to stay with her either! And she doesn’t say a word about it!”
“Mothere she’s humiliating you!” Qiao Wei exclaimed. her frustration evident.
Madame Qiao’s expression turned cold.
Indeed, Qiao Xuan was humiliating her. She was also humiliating the Old Master. They were both in trouble now.
The Old Master was too foolish to realize that they were not hated.
The couple was narrow-minded and sought revenge.
“Let it go. Don’t waste your anger on such people. We now know everything about her, and I will have a serious conversation with your father,” Madame Qiao stated firmly.
“And don’t mention the lipsticks in front of her.”
Qiao Wei’s eyes gleamed with curiosity. She asked indignantly, “I almost forgot to ask her. Mother, did she really make those lipsticks?”
Madame Qiao nodded.
Qiao Wei gasped, her disbelief evident on her face.
Qiao Kou looked up, his expression filled with shock.
“I can’t believe it!” Qiao Wei exclaimed, struggling to accept the reality. “How could she possibly create something as amazing as lipsticks? It’s impossible!”
Madame Qiao’s tone turned ominous as she responded, “I thought the same. When did that wretched girl learn about this? But just look at her, always pretending, and we never knew what she was capable of!”
Qiao Wei was at a loss for words..
