Then, remembering something, she asked: “By the way, how did Li Xi’s competition go? I was supposed to help her strategize last night!” Unfortunately, she had broken her promise. She wondered if Li Xi could handle it herself. Looking outside, it seemed to be evening, so the competition should have ended, right?
“Last night? Oh my!” Butterfly couldn’t help but wail: “Miss, do you know you’ve been in a coma for three days? The Flower Queen competition is long over!”
Three days? Could her injury have been that serious?
Jie’er asked eagerly: “So what was the result? Who won?”
Jie’er curled her lips: “Of course it was Miss Li Xi! You spent so much effort on her, if she didn’t win, that would be unacceptable!”
“Really? That’s great!” Jie’er exclaimed joyfully, thinking about how the beauty salon had successfully made its first splash. She couldn’t lie down anymore and struggled to get out of bed!
“Miss, what are you doing?” Butterfly couldn’t help but ask.
Jie’er answered matter-of-factly: “Of course, I’m returning to the Wang Mansion to prepare for the opening!”
“No!” Moe hurriedly stopped her: “Young Master Lu instructed that the poison in your body has just been cleared, and you must rest properly before getting out of bed!”
Jie’er immediately frowned, refusing: “No way, if I don’t launch ‘Women’s World’ now, once the Flower Queen competition’s heat dies down, I won’t be able to achieve such a good effect!”
…
Phew, it was a misunderstanding, thank goodness…
Joking around, who knows what the old man’s disciple looks like? Jie deliberately feigned regret: “Thank you for your kindness, Uncle, but unfortunately, I’m already married!”
“Married?” The old man immediately showed a shocked expression, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, but quickly returning to normal, sighing, “It seems my foolish disciple is out of luck!”
Jie couldn’t help but become curious about the foolish disciple he mentioned. Before she could ask, she noticed Lu Xuyuan returning to the doorway, holding a cloth bag about the size of a brocade pouch.
Lu Xuyuan didn’t even glance at Jie, directly handing the bag to Die’er before turning and walking out again. Jie was frustrated, exploding, “What’s with that attitude? What did I do to offend him that he’s treating me like this?”
“That boy cares about you!” The old man casually dropped this comment before chasing after him, muttering dissatisfaction: “You stupid kid, such a fun wife, and you couldn’t manage to win her over. Didn’t I always teach you that when the moment comes, you should act? Look, you let someone else steal a march…”
Sweat drops, now she didn’t need to ask…
Jie took the bag from Die’er’s hand, opening it to find colorful marble-sized granules. Mo’er quickly exclaimed, “Candies! Young Master Lu is really thoughtful towards Sister-in-law!”
She could tell he had specially prepared these, afraid the medicine would leave a bitter taste. This guy was quite considerate! But Jie didn’t understand why, if he wanted to be good to her, he acted like he was angry and didn’t want to talk to her.
Who said women were complicated? Men aren’t any better…
…
You are welcome——”As soon as she stepped into the beauty salon, a familiar voice rang out in her ears.
As soon as she entered the shop, Jie’er was shocked by the scene inside. Six makeup stations were occupied, with several people waiting nearby. They all looked like wealthy ladies and misses from the city, exuding an air of nobility.
The rack that was originally full of clothes was now empty, with only a few decorative samples left hanging on the walls.
The girls on the first floor, seeing Jie’er, immediately gathered around with concern. “Miss, are you alright?” “Miss, you’re back!”
Jie’er deliberately put on a stern face and scolded, “What ‘miss’? Have you forgotten how I taught you before?”
The girls immediately chorused in unison, “Yes, Madam Boss! Welcome to inspect the business!” Drawing frequent glances from the customers in the shop!
Jie’er waved her hand satisfactorily and said, “Alright, alright, go back to work. Everyone is doing very well. I’ll treat everyone to dinner at Wangjiang Lou tonight!”
“Thank you, Madam Boss!” The girls then scattered, each returning to their work…..

As soon as they heard Jie’er had come to the shop, Mo’er and Die’er hurriedly ran downstairs, and upon seeing her, asked, “Miss, can you get out of bed now?”
Jie’er was speechless and rolled her eyes to the sky. Isn’t this a pointless question? Couldn’t they ask something more meaningful? As if she couldn’t get out of bed, did they think she had brought the bed with her?
Mo’er furrowed her delicate eyebrows, “Sister-in-law, did Master Lu agree to let you come out?”
“I’m not his pet dog that needs his permission to go out!” Although she thought this, Jie’er didn’t dare to say it out loud. Her eyes unconsciously glanced towards the door, where the handsome doorman mentioned by the girl was standing guard!
Seeing the two were about to say more, Jie’er boredly rolled her eyes, “STOP—you two visit me every day, and you know I’m almost recovered. Why are you looking at me like you’ve seen a ghost?”
Die’er and Mo’er simultaneously and grievously said, “We’re just concerned about you!” Wow, when did these two become so in sync?
“Alright, stop talking nonsense. I want to go out now. I’ll give you two choices: either go back upstairs and continue managing your business, or come out with me!” Jie’er impatiently interrupted them, spreading her hands, “Choose!”
It seemed the business was just as they had described before, so she had nothing to worry about. After being cooped up in the medicine house for so long, she could finally breathe some fresh air!
The two hesitated before saying, “I want to go out with Miss (Sister-in-law)!”
Jie’er then showed a satisfied expression, having been worried they might forget the joys of life while doing business. Then, with a stylish toss of her head, she snapped her fingers, “Let’s go!”
“Huh?” Mo’er couldn’t help but be stunned. Coming to her senses, she saw the three had already walked far away and hurried to catch up, “Sister-in-law, what did you just say? What’s ‘come to this hook’?”
“Nothing, just means we’re leaving!” Jie’er ignored her surprised look and waved her hand dismissively.
“Miss Yue Yue!”
This voice seemed familiar…
Jie’er couldn’t help but stop and look up. She saw Lou Shan Yan, dressed in white, walking out of a restaurant ahead, elegant as a startled swan, with an ethereal demeanor that seemed untouched by worldly dust. This man, no matter when he appeared, was always so captivating!

Before Jie’er could speak, someone preemptively stepped between them. Lu Xu Ran protected Jie’er like a mother hen, glaring at the man before him, “What are you trying to do now? Wasn’t her injury because of you last time?”
Lou Shan Yan’s body stiffened, his gaze quickly dimming, his face instantly turning pale and weak. He moved his lips for a long time before finally uttering, “I’m sorry, I just wanted to check how her injury was.”
Jie’er immediately felt sympathetic, pushing Lu Xu Ran aside, ignoring the latter’s hurt expression, and walked directly to Lou Shan Yan to comfort him, “That’s okay, Young Master Shan Yan. I’m fine now, don’t worry too much!”
Lou Shan Yan blinked in disbelief, his black glass-like eyes showing shock, “Miss Yue Yue doesn’t blame me? After all, it was Shan Yan who caused your injury…”
Jie’er laughed carelessly, “How could I? I was the one who wanted to save you that day!” Though if she had known it would result in her getting hurt, she wouldn’t have been so kind!
