Zhang Manhua dazedly walked into the high-end fashion salon with her daughter and the stylist Lily’s arms wound through hers.

Once inside, she had the same reaction as Pei Ge when the latter first came here. Examining the décor of this salon in exasperation, she got even more nervous.

“Li-Lily, your services here must be quite expensive!”

She was still not used to calling a man a female name, so when she called him that, she stuttered a little.

“He he. Just a bit.” He smiled and then welcomed her. “Auntie, let me introduce our fashion salon to you.

“This is one of the best salons across the capital! Most of our clients are famous and rich individuals like heavenly king Li and pop queen Yang!”

Her eyes widened at this as she felt even more nervous.

This was because the two he had just mentioned were truly big stars!

Even such famous stars are clients here?! This shop must be incredible!

As she thought of this, she felt a little embarrassed, feeling that her daughter had taken advantage of people.

Having worked hard in this society for many years, how could the observant and perceptive stylist not guess what she was thinking inside?

“Auntie, relax. Ge Ge is my good friend, so she comes here for free!”

“That’s a little too much trouble for you…” Her eyebrows moved slightly as she thought if she had brought enough money out today.

“It’s no trouble! No trouble at all. Auntie, you may not know this…”

He smiled as his eyes glinted slyly.

“Mhm?” Of course, she failed to notice this.

“I do Ge Ge’s makeover not only because she’s my good friend but also because…” The stylist blinked at her and pretended to be secretive.

“Because of what?” Her curiosity was clearly piqued.

“Because… she’s our salon’s model! Mama Pei, you probably don’t know this! Whenever she attended a banquet with Mr. Ji in the past, she would come here for a makeover.”

As he continued speaking, he very naturally changed his way of addressing her.

“Each time she attended a banquet, our business would see a surge in customers! Those sororities and rich madams flocked to our shop and requested for us to style them similar to Ge Ge’s!”

Not only was his expression lively, his voice was also very emotional. Listening to him was akin to seeing the scene for oneself.

Her interest was piqued further by this.

“Really?! Our Ge Ge is actually such a trend-setter?!”

She was totally stunned this, never having expected her daughter to be this capable!

“Of course!” He nodded vigorously. “You don’t know how beautiful and awe-inspiring your daughter looks when she dresses up! She stuns the entire venue with her beauty!”

Although she felt happy hearing this, she was actually still a little suspicious.

“Really? You’re not lying to me, are you?”

“Aiya! Mama Pei, I’m most certainly not lying to you! Look; I still have her photos here…”

Standing beside them, when Pei Ge saw that her good stylist friend and mother were having quite a happy time conversing, she could not help but smile in amusement.

She must admit that he was someone with excellent social skills.

Look; her dearest mother originally felt awkward around him, but now, she was actually talking to him so happily!

“Alright. Okay, mom. Have you forgotten what we came here to do? You’re even rushing me so badly earlier!”

Her mother was jolted by this.

“Aiya! I almost forgot!” She slapped her thighs and quickly told the stylist, “Lily, quickly doll up my daughter! She’s meeting Xiao Ji’s parents later!”

As the stylist was her daughter’s friend and because she pegged him as a good person, she honestly explained it to him.

However, after she said this, the stylist’s mouth hung agape from shock.

He could not help cupping his right hand over his mouth. “Seriously?! Ge Ge, when did your relationship with Mr. Ji fast forward to achieve such a result?! You’re even meeting your future in-laws!”

However, no matter how shocked or curious he was, he was still chased into the personal studio by Zhang Manhua to start working.

As for Pei Ge’s thought of letting her mother have a makeover rather than herself, it was totally rejected by the latter.

Hence, she could only sit in the studio obediently as the stylist carefully applied cosmetics on her slightly plump face.

“Mama Pei, if you are bored, you can go take a walk outside; I’ll be done with your daughter soon!”

While applying makeup on her, he urged her mother, who was standing beside him, to pass the time by roaming around.

“That’s right, mom. You should go look around. The décor of this salon is quite interesting.” She also persuaded her mother with a smile.

Probably also a little keen on the idea, her mother nodded and walked out of the studio after informing them.

She walked into the lavishly decorated long corridor and carefully checked the whole place.

Unknowingly, she had reached the lobby entrance.

As it was the new year holiday, this fashion salon was not open.

Still, because of her daughter, the door was wide open, except for a missing receptionist.

Noting the wide-open glass door, she slowly moved over to close it when a pretty and elegant woman strutted inside in her high heels.

“Er, this miss. We are not open today.” She politely stopped the young woman from walking in.

However, the woman did not bother glancing at her. Although she still had a proper and gentle smile, her gaze was filled with disdain.

“I’m looking for your boss, Lily.”
