Chapter 1347 Met a ‘Warrior’If this was the first time one smelled such fragrance, one would never know what it was. Although one might be very sensitive to smells, like Tang Jiayun, one would only think that she had put on perfume. One would not be so certain that the fragrance was from skincare products.Tang Jiayun knew a lot about skincare products. She felt that she must have more knowledge in this area than Lü Yan and Yu Xiaoxiao. She thought that it was the smell of a perfume, but Lü Yan said that the fragrance was from a skincare product. How could it be? “By the way, Lü Yan, since when did you do research on this? How do you know that the fragrance is from a skincare product and not from a perfume?”
How could it be that Lü Yan knew more than her?
No way!
Tang Jiayun could not even figure it out, let alone the crowd who surrounded them.
But they understood one fact: The product that Qiao Nan used was very expensive. It was seldom seen and could not be found in the country. However, it was odd that Tang Jiayun, who loved to doll herself up and seemed to be rich, had no idea what the product was while Lü Yan, who seemed to be having a hard time, knew about it. This seemed more unusual to them.
“I…” Lü Yan could not offer any explanation. She could not tell them that she tutored children from rich families and she had connections with rich people.
It was a coincidence that the mother of her student happened to be using the same set of skincare products recently. When the mother bought the skincare products, the salesperson gave her a complimentary sample set and the father gave it to her secretly.
Lü Yan could not bear to use it, but she loved the fragrance and would bring it out to take a sniff from time to time. It was indeed good stuff. Although Lü Yan kept taking it out to take a sniff, the fragrance still remained very strong.
Lü Yan was very familiar with the fragrance of the particular skincare products and she could smell and identify it right away.
Lü Yan never told others in the school that she gave private tuition. She was not sure as well whether it was normal for the father or mother of her student to give samples of high-end skincare products to the tuition teacher.
She heard that the skincare products were very expensive. The price of the sample was not cheap either. It was similar to the price of a full set of skincare products that could be found in the country.
Since it was very expensive, Lü Yan did not dare to tell other people about it.
Qiao Nan simply made an intelligent guess and she was spot on. Lü Yan stuttered and could not manage to give a coherent reply. Qiao Nan curled the corners of her lips. “I don’t have a guilty conscience, but someone is playing the trick of a thief crying ‘stop thief!’. Alright, it’s fine that you can’t be bothered with your studies because you put your concentration on keeping tabs on other people. However, I don’t have the time to bicker with you.”
“I won’t probe further since you can’t answer my question. Since you want to know about my skincare products, fine, I will tell you. You should have known that the skincare products that I am using are quite expensive, and you want to know where it is from. I don’t have the money to buy the products. They were given to me by my sister’s mother-in-law.”
She knew what Lü Yan was up to. Lü Yan was trying to say that she was just a college student, so where would she have the money to buy luxury products? It must have been given to her by other people.
It turned out that Lü Yan still had not given up on the kept woman scandal from more than two years ago. She was determined to find evidence to prove that her thread back then was telling the truth and that she did not tell lies.
It seemed that she still harbored evil intentions.
Qiao Nan glanced askance at Lü Yan, who was at a loss for words. She rang the bell on the bicycle. “Lü Yan, you have taken up nearly half an hour of my time. I have to go back home for my meal. Can you stand aside?”
Lü Yan was hoping that Qiao Nan had no explanation as to why she used expensive skincare products. She could then prove that Qiao Nan was indeed a kept woman and that she was not lying back then. However, Qiao Nan could not be bothered to explain. Instead, she asked Lü Yan the reason why she knew so much about skincare products.
Seeing that Lü Yan was at a loss for words, Qiao Nan then explained that it was true that she was poor and could not afford the expensive skincare products. But she had rich relatives and they were willing to buy expensive products for her.
It was given to her by her sister’s mother-in-law. There was no way that the mother-in-law wanted to be her sugar daddy.
One might be foolish, but one should not go overboard.
Lü Yan broke out in cold sweats. “I don’t believe it. The mother-in-law of your sister? How can there be such good people? If she had money, why didn’t she give it to your sister but you?” She refused to believe that people would give such expensive skincare products as gifts.
Qiao Nan laughed in anger. “You don’t understand the rich people and their lives. You may not give it as a present, but it doesn’t mean that other people won’t give it to someone as a gift. Besides, the mother-in-law of my sister is very rich, and she is definitely not stingy with my sister. The problem is that my sister is two months pregnant. Do you understand?”
“What’s going on?” Xu Shengnan treated the department head to a meal at the stir-fried stall in the canteen. She was about to go back to the office when she saw a crowd on her way out. Initially, she wanted to make a detour as she had no intention of checking what was going on.
But she squeezed into the crowd when she heard Qiao Nan’s voice. “Junior Qiao, why are you still in school? Aren’t you worried that your family would be anxious and they might be waiting for you to have a meal together?” Qiao Nan’s three children were still very young and were very attached to their mother. “What’s with the crowd? Are all of you not hungry or is there money on the floor?”
Xu Shengnan finally squeezed into the crowd. “Junior Qiao, what’s wrong? Did someone make trouble for you?” The only person who would find trouble with Qiao Nan must be the female student who stood in front of Qiao Nan’s bicycle. “Who is this? Are you looking for trouble?”
There was a bewildered and interested look on Xu Shengnan’s face. “I thought that no one will find trouble with Junior Qiao in the school now. This junior over here, you are indeed a ‘warrior’.”
During the lesson, there was a male student who tried to suck up to Qiao Nan by lending her his hard-to-come by studying materials. It was odd that there would be someone who was out to create trouble for Qiao Nan.
The student must be out of her mind.
Could it be that the junior had no intention of staying in the capital and therefore was not worried about offending Qiao Nan?
“Senior Xu, this is what happened.” There was a glitter in Tang Jiayun’s eyes. She told Xu Shengnan what happened. Actually, she was interested to know the mother-in-law of Qiao Nan’s sister. Although her daughter-in-law was pregnant, she must be very rich to give the expensive skincare products to other people.
Tang Jiayun was confused. Qiao Nan must be lying to them when she said that she came from a humble family when she joined the college in the first year.
Her acquaintance with Senior Gao could be considered as a coincidence.
However, Qiao Nan must have rich relatives to have received expensive skincare products from them.
