Cheng Liu was annoyed by her dismissive attitude, but she did not dare show her anger in front of Ji Yan. She could only ask fawningly, “Did cousin-in-law come to the mall to buy something? I am familiar with this place. Why don’t I accompany cousin-in-law?”

Today, she was going to teach Shen Hanxing a lesson. She was going to let her know that even if Ji Yan had her back, Shen Hanxing was just an ant that she could easily squash!

The viciousness in her eyes was clear as day. Ji Yan’s thin lips pursed into a straight line. Just as he was about to speak, he felt a pair of soft hands on his shoulders, gently patting him.

“Sure.”

Shen Hanxing spoke first, smiling. “Then I’ll have to trouble Miss Cheng.”

This young lady was easy to read. All her emotions were displayed on her face. There was no way she could rise and become a powerful person. She was not a threat to her. However, she was great “company” to kill time.

Cheng Liu’s eyes were full of satisfaction, thinking that her plan succeeded. A sweet smile appeared on her face, and she walked over and held onto Shen Hanxing’s arm. She said charmingly, “Cousin, you don’t need to follow us girls while we shop. Don’t worry, I promise to bring my cousin-in-law back in a bit, okay?”

“Sorry, I’m not used to being so close to people.” Shen Hanxing brushed her hand away calmly and then looked at Chen Liang who was following beside her, “I’ll leave for a while. You take good care of him.”

Ji Yan saw that she was calm and composed, so he allowed her to leave with Cheng Liu.

Shen Hanxing followed Cheng Liu to the fourth floor that sold brand-name makeup. Cheng Liu stood beside Shen Hanxing, so she could see that Shen Hanxing did not wear any makeup on her face. There was no foundation, no makeup, pure natural skin!

Even without makeup, her skin still looked fair and smooth, without any blemishes. Cheng Liu was so jealous that she gritted her teeth.

“Cousin-in-law isn’t wearing any makeup today, right?”

She smiled as she walked to a makeup counter to pick out lipstick. She said, “I heard that cousin-in-law grew up in a poor area overseas. The living environment there is quite different from here. Cousin-in-law married my cousin as soon as you returned from abroad. I guess you haven’t had the time to understand the rules of the upper class, right?”

She gestured for the sales clerk to bring out a non-marketable fluorescent pink lipstick, then, she said, “Us ladies of the upper class must wear makeup when we go out and always ensure that we look exquisite and beautiful. After all, to a certain extent, we also represent our husbands and/or our fathers.”

“We must take care of our body, from head to toe, even if it’s just a strand of hair. If anything looks out of place, we will be laughed at. Just like cousin-in-law’s hair…”

Cheng Liu’s gaze fell on Shen Hanxing’s hair. She saw that her hair was jet-black and thick, as smooth and long as seaweed. The rest of her words were stuck in her throat and she could no longer finish her sentence.

Compared to Shen Hanxing’s hair, her hair that she spent a fortune caring for was like withered grass, lifeless. The condition of her skin was also miles away from Shen Hanxing’s.

Cheng Liu was so angry that she almost vomited blood. However, when Shen Hanxing saw that she suddenly stopped talking, her sparkling almond eyes looked at her in confusion. Cheng Liu gritted her teeth and said, “It’s nothing. I just suddenly realized that cousin-in-law’s hair is pretty good. You are naturally beautiful, so you need to take better care of your looks.”

Was god blind? Why did he give such beautiful appearances to a vulgar and ignorant woman who came from a poor area? That was simply ruining Heaven’s gift!

“Oh? Then what should I do to take care of my looks?” Shen Hanxing admired Cheng Liu’s increasingly distorted face and asked with great interest.

“Naturally, you should always wear makeup to look exquisite, dress appropriately, and appear in front of others with a bright and beautiful appearance.” Cheng Liu’s tone was inexplicably excited. Her hands trembled slightly as she opened the lipstick in her hands and recommended, “Cousin-in-law, this is the most popular color this year. Your skin is white, so this color suits you very well. I guarantee that once you wear it, you will make my cousin go crazy!”

She handed the lipstick forward, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Fluorescent pink, also known as Death Barbie Pink, is a color that even Barbie dolls would not look good in. It was a very eye-piercing color to wear.

This color was a disaster for Asians. Asians had slightly yellow skin, so when they wear fluorescent pink makeup, it would make their skin tone appear dull and make them appear ugly and unclassy. Cheng Liu had never seen anyone who looked good wearing fluorescent pink!

Shen Hanxing did not seem to notice that Cheng Liu was tricking her. She excitedly took the lipstick and looked at it carefully. She was a little surprised. “This is the popular lipstick color in the upper-class society right now?”
