Chapter 1002: Thirty Years of War (1/2)

"Miss Qi Liu, long time no see. I didn't expect to meet you here."

Qi Yutong was talking to Zhang Xinrui when she heard a strange voice coming from the side. She was stunned for a moment and looked back. When she saw the tall man with a hooked nose standing on the other side, Qi Yutong's face showed a bewildered look.

She didn't seem to know this person. Why did he speak to her in such a familiar tone?

"Excuse me, who are you?"

Qi Yutong hesitated for a moment and asked. Zhang Xinrui, who was standing next to her, shrank after seeing the other party, and then quietly moved closer to Qi Yutong. She grabbed the hem of Qi Yutong's clothes, as if she was frightened.

Qi Yutong noticed Zhang Xinrui's action and knew that she was timid and had never seen such a scene before, so she protected Zhang Xinrui behind her, and then looked up at the man who was looking at her with a smile: "Who are you? I don't seem to know you."

A man she didn't know called her Miss Qi Liu and acted like he was very familiar with her... Could this man be a pervert who coveted her beauty?

Thinking so in her heart, Qi Yutong showed a defensive look on her face. She was afraid that the other party was really after her beauty, so she protected his trust and prepared to leave.

The man seemed to see Qi Yutong's defensiveness. He smiled and said, "Miss Qi Liu, I am Chen Tai'an, a friend of the second young master Qi. Miss Qi Liu also drank tea with me when I visited your house last year."

Chen Tai'an?

This name sounded familiar. Qi Yutong frowned and thought for a while, and finally remembered who this person was.

Chen Taian is the eldest son of the Chen family. He is about the same age as Qi Yan. They have frequent contacts and it is said that they have business contacts. Their relationship is naturally extraordinary.

After knowing that he is an acquaintance, Qi Yutong relaxed a little. She patted Zhang Xinrui's arm and signaled her not to be afraid: "Don't be afraid, this is the eldest son of the Chen family."

Zhang Xinrui hummed lightly, but the hand holding Qi Yutong's clothes did not let go. Obviously, she was still in a state of fear and had not recovered.

Qi Yutong knew that Zhang Xinrui was very timid. The Zhang family and the Chen family were not in the same circle. To her, Chen Taian was a stranger. It was normal for her to be afraid.

"Master Chen, my friend and I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

Speaking, Qi Yutong nodded to Chen Taian, and without waiting for the other party to answer, she took Zhang Xinrui away.

Chen Taian did not stop the two from leaving. He watched their backs go away. Only after they were far away did he retract his gaze and followed his friends in another direction.

"Xinrui, don't be afraid. Young Master Chen only looks scary. He should be a good person. I heard that he has a good reputation in Jinling City. Many rich ladies want to marry him."

Zhang Xinrui's face was stained with a blush. She didn't know what she was thinking. She suddenly asked, "What about you?"

Qi Yutong exclaimed and looked at Zhang Xinrui blankly: "What?"

A beauty is a beauty. Even if she makes such a silly expression, it does not damage her beauty. Zhang Xinrui pursed her lips. Lips, whispered: "What about you? Do you think he is a suitable marriage partner?"

Qi Yutong shook her head honestly: "No, he is a little different from me in age, and our family backgrounds are not compatible. We are not the same kind of people."

In fact, Qi Yutong meant that she is now a fake daughter who has occupied the magpie's nest. The family background of the Chen family is not worthy of her. She has beauty but no family background. If she really enters the Chen family, she can only be a concubine for others to enjoy.

Qi Yutong's goal now is very clear. She will stay until the day when the truth is revealed, and then leave the Qi family obediently and live an ordinary life. She will no longer be as confused as in her previous life, and do things that hurt people who care about her for something that does not belong to her.

However, when these words fell into Zhang Xinrui's ears, they had other meanings. Zhang Xinrui's face was not very good. Although she quickly covered it up, she was always listless in the following time and could not raise any spirits.

When the two of them visited a store selling women's cosmetics, they happened to meet Chen Taian again. This time, Chen Taian was accompanied by a gentle-looking woman. Chen Taian was choosing suitable jewelry for the woman. The two chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

The two met unexpectedly. The moment he saw Qi Yutong, Chen Taian's momentum changed. He immediately got rid of the female companion beside him and strode towards Qi Yutong.

"Sixth Miss, what a coincidence, I didn't expect us to meet again."

Qi Yutong was choosing jewelry for Zhang Xinrui. She liked a pearl hairpin and asked the shopkeeper to take it out for her to see. As a result, she heard such a voice. She looked back and found that the person standing in front of her was Chen Taian. Qi Yutong blinked and asked in a strange way: "Mr. Chen, why are you here?"

Just when Qi Yutong suspected that Chen Taian was following her, the other party laughed: "Miss Six, this shop is mine. I just came here with a friend to pick some things, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

As he said that, Chen Taian raised his hand and pointed at the young girl not far away. The other party smiled and nodded at Chen Taian. It seemed that the two sides knew each other. Qi Yutong's suspicions just now dissipated a lot.

It seems that she thought too much. It's true. Although the family background of the Chen family is not as good as that of the Qi family, Chen Taian is at least the next head of the Chen family. He is still very capable in doing business. There is really no need to run behind a woman like a pervert.

It should be that she misunderstood.

Thinking of this, Qi Yutong felt a little apologetic in her heart, thinking that she really misunderstood Chen Taian before.

Because of these apologies, when Chen Taian said he wanted to introduce several new body lotions in the shop to her, Qi Yutong didn't have the nerve to immediately reject him.

"Miss Liu, these body lotions are the latest products in our shop. Among them, this hibiscus cream has the best moisturizing effect. Miss Liu might as well try it."

The hibiscus cream is packed in a transparent glass bottle made in the shape of a hibiscus flower. The cream is light pink, which makes the glass container seem to turn pink. At first glance, it looks like a blooming hibiscus flower.

Apart from other things, just this exquisite thought makes people want to buy it. After all, women love beauty and have a lower resistance to such beautiful objects. The hibiscus cream can attract many people to buy it just by relying on the outer packaging.

Qi Yutong is also a beauty lover. After hesitating for a while, she opened the box and applied a little on the back of her hand.

When the cream was applied on the back of her hand, Qi Yutong felt a cool feeling seeping in from the application area. At the same time, a faint floral fragrance lingered. She couldn't help but sniff, and a look of enjoyment appeared on her face.

Chen Taian, who was standing next to Qi Yutong, had been watching Qi Yutong's expression. When he saw her expression of enjoyment, a dark color flashed in his eyes, and at the same time, his tone became much softer than before.

"Sixth Miss, how do you feel? This hibiscus cream is a new product developed by our Chen family. It has not been sold on a large scale yet, so the quantity is not large. And because the production process is very complicated, after this time it is sold out, I don't know when the next time will be available. I don't know if you, Sixth Miss..."

Before she finished speaking, Qi Yutong immediately said, "I bought it."

Not to mention that the shape is enough to attract people's eyes, the smell alone is enough to make people addicted. Qi Yutong doesn't know how many lotions she has used, but there are only a few things like this that make her want to spend money just by smell.

She must buy this lotus cream home.

"How much do these things cost? You name a price."

Chen Taian smiled and said, "Sixth Miss, you are too polite. Your second brother and I are good friends. Although these things are precious, they are nothing compared to our friendship. If Sixth Miss likes them, I will give you a set."

After saying this, without waiting for Qi Yutong to refuse, Chen Taian immediately asked someone to pack up the lotus cream and several other skin care products in the same series, leaving Qi Yutong no chance to refuse.

Qi Yutong: "..."

No merit, no reward, especially since she is a girl, she naturally has to be more careful about such things, not to mention that this favor was brought by Qi Yan, Qi Yutong did not want to accept it, so she insisted on paying the money and bought a lot of other things.

When Qi Yutong came out of the store with big bags and small bags, she was a little confused. She didn't know why she suddenly bought so many things. Looking at Zhang Xinrui and the things in her hands, she felt a little guilty.

"Xinrui, I said I didn't mean to buy so many, do you believe me?"

Zhang Xinrui: "..."

She wanted to believe it, but looking at the things in their hands, it was really unconvincing.

In the end, Chen Taian sent a driver to take Qi Yutong and Zhang Xinrui home separately.

Qi Yutong really liked the hibiscus cream. After returning home, she took a bath and used the hibiscus cream.

When it was time for lunch, Qi Yutong ran to Qin Minyan and showed her the hibiscus cream she bought like a treasure.

"Mom, do you smell the smell on me? It smells so good. Touch my skin. Is it smooth and tender? I found a good thing today..."

Qi Yutong chattered and introduced the hibiscus cream to Qin Minyan, praising it to the highest level in the world.

"Mom, don't you like hibiscus flowers the most? I think this is just right for you. The smell is not strong after applying it, and the perfect fragrance makes people feel relaxed and happy. I feel that after using this, my whole spirit is much better than before."

It's not quite right to say that it's a lot better. It should be said that it's a bit too excited. Since she came back, Qi Yutong has been in an excited state. It feels like she can't vent her energy without saying or doing something.

Qin Minyan watched Qi Yutong constantly bragging to herself about the benefits of the hibiscus cream. It's beautiful, smells good, and is easy to use, as if there are no shortcomings. She couldn't help but feel a little strange. You know that her daughter is only enthusiastic for a short time, and she doesn't have a fixed mind in doing anything. Her interest in anything will not last more than three days. Even when she was most concerned, she didn't praise it in front of her. Is the hibiscus cream really that good this time?

Out of curiosity, Qin Minyan couldn't help opening the lid and wanted to try applying a little.

But as soon as the lid was opened, Qin Minyan couldn't help sneezing when she smelled the smell coming out.

Qin Minyan sneezed non-stop, and looked a little embarrassed. Qi Yutong was scared and asked hurriedly: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Why did you cough suddenly?"

She was fine just now, why is she coughing non-stop now? While asking, she kept patting Qin Minyan's back. After a long while, Qin Minyan finally recovered a little. However, the first thing she said was to ask Qi Yutong to take the hibiscus cream away.

"Hurry up and cover the lid and take it away. I can't stand the smell. It's too choking."

Qi Yutong was stunned, and a deep confusion appeared on her face: "Does it smell bad? I think it smells very good, mother, is there something wrong with your sense of smell?"

Obviously, the smell of this hibiscus cream is so fragrant that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is refreshing. She smelled a little bit overwhelmed and wanted to keep it under her nose. Why did her mother say that the smell was choking?

Qi Yutong was a little reluctant, but seeing that Qin Minyan did not look like she was pretending, she could only hand the hibiscus cream to the maid who was serving her and let her take it outside.

"Mother, did you get choked by something just now? You smelled the smell on my body, but why did it not work after opening it?"

Qi Yutong still did not give up, thinking that it must not be a problem with her things.

Qin Minyan wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "My sense of smell is quite sensitive. The smell just now was a bit pungent. I'm not kidding you."

Qi Yutong frowned, still feeling that something was wrong, but looking at Qin Minyan's expression, she didn't dare to say anything else.
