The Goddess is a Little Pitiful, I Invested in Her! - Chapter 15
Chapter 15: Following Mother Qi’s orders to spend money!
“Orphanage performance? Do you have a part in it?” Qi’s mother, overhearing the conversation, asked with interest.
Lian Qingxue replied softly, “Yes… I have a solo dance, but I’m not very good at it.”
Upon hearing this, Qi’s mother gave Qi Yun a pat, “Go, Qingxue is performing, how can you not go?”
“Did I say I wouldn’t go?” Qi Yun said helplessly.
He had truly noticed that his status as a son was dropping day by day. Thinking about this, he glanced at Qi’s father. Well, at least he had someone to share his misery.
Qi Yun was somewhat looking forward to seeing Lian Qingxue dance.
“I’m not good at dancing, I just learned it from watching TV,” Qingxue admitted, unable to afford professional lessons.
Hearing how much Qi Yun and his parents were looking forward to her performance, she became nervous, worried that Qi Yun might have too high expectations.
“Our Qingxue is so pretty, how beautiful she must look when she dances? Right, Qingxue should go to the beauty salon for some pampering today! She’ll glow tomorrow!” Qi’s mother showed great enthusiasm for Qingxue’s upcoming performance.
“A beauty salon?” Qingxue was stunned, “Isn’t that unnecessary?”
“How is it unnecessary? That’s settled! I’ll take you!”
“Mom, let me go with Qingxue!” Qi Yun quickly interjected, seeing an opportunity.
How could he miss such a bright and legitimate opportunity to spend money?
“You? Do you even know anything about it?” Qi’s mother gave Qi Yun a side glance, “Fine, I won’t interfere in your time together! Here’s some money, don’t be stingy.”
Qi Yun looked at the wad of cash handed to him.
Using his mother’s money to earn Lian Qingxue’s money? So he was supposed to make a deal without any cost?
“Auntie, this is too much money!” Qingxue protested.
“How is it too much? Isn’t New Year’s coming? I’ve been planning to give you a big red envelope. Now, why don’t we just use it for your beauty treatments? Girls need to pamper themselves.”
“I can’t…”
“Don’t refuse. I really can’t stand back-and-forth. I always treat you like my own child, no need to be so polite.”
When it came to persuading people, Qi’s mother could easily outdo ten Qi Yuns.
Unable to argue against her, Qingxue finally accepted.
At that moment, Qi’s mother casually said something else, “Look at Qi Yun’s face, it’s all nourished into a pretty boy by you! Let him nourish you today too!”
Qi Yun, who was walking towards the door, nearly fell over from his mother’s words. Nourish? With what? Cough, cough! Was his mind getting too dirty? He could never learn his mother’s way of speaking!
…
As Qingxue followed Qi Yun out, she had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, after they hailed a cab, they directly told the driver to go to the best beauty salon in Spring City.
Ten minutes later, they got off the taxi in front of a very elegantly decorated beauty salon.
Qi Yun looked at the building in front of him.
A three-story building, entirely white, completely western style.
This level of decor wouldn’t be outdated even a decade from now. Qi Yun was quite satisfied.
Most importantly, the place looked quite expensive!
Time to start spending money!
As they walked in, Qi Yun’s first sentence confirmed Qingxue’s bad premonition.
“How much does it cost for a full set of treatments here?”
Qingxue sighed internally, “Here we go again, that familiar feeling!”
…
The salon attendant was a little surprised when she saw Qi Yun bring Qingxue in.
While it was not uncommon to see young girls at the salon, they were usually accompanied by older female relatives.
It was rare to see a young man bring a girl, especially when he seemed to be the one making decisions.
On hearing Qi Yun’s question, a round-faced attendant said, “For first-timers, we suggest a preliminary skin assessment. While a full set of treatments is beneficial, it may not be necessary for everyone.”
Upon hearing this, Qingxue felt a wave of relief wash over her.
This salon seemed to prioritize customer satisfaction and repeat business.
Most people would be impressed by a salon that didn’t take advantage of customers, that seemed conscious of saving money for them.
“…Your salon is not bad!”
Qi Yun, after a long silence, managed to say.
Did the taxi driver take his request for an expensive salon too seriously?
Should he have asked for the most expensive salon instead?
He was beginning to question his decisions.
Qingxue was led to a private room to begin her assessment.
Qi Yun, left alone, began flipping through the beauty magazines provided in the reception area.
However, as they were all beauty-related, he quickly lost interest.
Seeing his boredom, the round-faced attendant laughed, “Why don’t you get a skin assessment too? It’s free.”
