Jiang Nuan felt a surge of excitement, the kind that only money could bring, especially now that she was so poor.
"Sister Yiyi, thank you!"
"Sweetie, I'm the one who should be thanking you. My skin has found its salvation. My skin has become much smoother these past few days, and it looks even more exquisite when I apply makeup. Mwah, love you!"
Jiang Nuan: "It's good that it works well."
Jiang Nuan exited the chat interface with Tang Ziyi and saw the celebrities who had added her. Her hands trembled. Those once unattainable megastars were now just a screen's distance away from her.
After carefully confirming each one, she added them on WeChat.
Before she could even greet them, a message popped up.
"Miss Jiang, I have an L-shaped scar near the corner of my eye. I was too mischievous as a child and hit the door sill. There's been a pit there ever since. Can you repair it?"
Jiang Nuan replied: "Yes."
She possessed the formula for skin regeneration.
Wait, had she stooped to selling cosmetics for a living? Would Meng Yuan glare at her?
Forget it, she couldn't afford to be picky about money. Her son and daughter's tuition fees were very expensive.
Popular Young Starlet: "Ahhh... I'm dying! Thank you, Miss Jiang. When can I get it?"
Jiang Nuan: "In a week."
"Okay, okay! We're all introduced by Sister Tang. We trust Miss Jiang 100%."
Jiang Nuan: "Thank you for your trust!"
Jiang Nuan busied herself until past nine in the evening, organizing all the cosmetics needed by the celebrities.
Now, she was grateful that she had left Xiao Ruiming at the wellness center, allowing her to focus on making money.
To reassure everyone, she sent them her cosmetics production license.
In recent years, she had been capable of anything to earn money.
At ten o'clock, Jiang Nuan drew hot water and wiped down her son. Li Wan and Li Qin had long since slipped her mind.
Li Wan, standing outside the door, still held a sliver of hope. Li Qingshuo was not the type to gossip.
She also had a feeling that Jiang Nuan wouldn't tell Ninth Master about this. Every woman wanted to leave the best and most gentle impression in front of Ninth Master.
Therefore, she didn't go in to apologize, but instead played on her phone outside with Li Qin.
At a quarter past ten, Mu Jiuchen's tall figure emerged from the elevator. The man was dressed in a dark suit, one hand tucked into his trouser pocket, exuding an imposing aura. Wherever he went, he carried a captivating charm.
Li Wan quickly stood up and said softly, "Ninth Master."
Mu Jiuchen nodded faintly and pushed open the ward door to enter.
Jiang Nuan had also changed into her pajamas, a pink short top and shorts, keeping cool in the summer.
She had just bathed, her hair was semi-dry, cascading down her shoulders, looking both cool and pure.
He smiled gently, and before he could speak, he heard Jiang Nuan's cold words: "Take your servants and get out."
Mu Jiuchen: "..." What was wrong now?
Li Wan, who had just entered, felt her heart clench. Her palms were sweating nervously. She secretly glanced at Mu Jiuchen's tall back, a flicker of infatuation crossing her eyes.
Seeing Li Wan, Jiang Nuan shouted, "Who told you to come in? Get out!"
Li Wan's footsteps faltered. She had never dreamed that Jiang Nuan would be so defiant even in front of Mu Jiuchen!
"Nuannuan." Mu Jiuchen wanted to understand the reason for this. He had only gone out for a while, what had happened now?
"Leave, Mu Jiuchen. Don't let me see you again." After saying that, Jiang Nuan didn't look at Mu Jiuchen again.
Jiang Nuan was not a fragile type to begin with. When she turned cold, she was like a sharp blade in a cold wind, capable of inflicting deep wounds.
Mu Jiuchen's heart ached with a sourness, and a sharp pain enveloped his entire body. He stood there for a long while before asking, "Jiang Nuan, even if you're going to sentence me, you should at least give me a reason, right?"
Li Wan bit her lip. She was happy to create a rift between them.
"Hmph! Your household servant said that you, Mu Jiuchen, don't like shrewish women like me?"
Jiang Nuan was not one to endure silently. Not fighting back when bullied would make her a bastard.
Li Wan: "..."
Mu Jiuchen suddenly turned around, looking at Li Wan and Li Qin, and roared, "Which one of you said that?"
Li Qin had never seen such a terrifying aura. She immediately blurted out, "Ninth Master, it wasn't me. It was Li Wan. She said that women like Jiang Nuan are not worthy of having children with Ninth Master. We just need to take good care of the young master. Jiang Nuan will be kicked out sooner or later. It was all her words, and I have nothing to do with it."
Li Wan had never dreamed that all her prepared responses would be ruined by her timid cousin.
"Heh heh..." Jiang Nuan let out a cold laugh. A watery sheen glistened in her bright eyes. She was like the bright moon on a branch in autumn, cold, clear, and lonely.
Hearing that crisp laugh, Mu Jiuchen's heart bled. He had promised not to let such things happen again, yet they still did.
How much pain must Nuannuan have felt hearing those words?
"Nuannuan, I'm sorry. I didn't know they would treat you like this." Mu Jiuchen's voice softened considerably. He loved this woman. Since he was young, his life had only been Jiang Nuan.
"Thump..." Li Wan knelt before Jiang Nuan, weeping, "Miss Jiang, I was wrong. Please, forgive me. I didn't know anything and said the wrong things. Please, forgive me."
Jiang Nuan didn't even want to look at her, standing still in her spot.
"What is going on?" The authoritative and sharp voice made people involuntarily want to submit.
Jiang Beichen, after a busy day, learned that Jiang Yu Kuò was hospitalized. Without time to rest, he came directly from the banquet venue. However, what he heard outside just now had angered him greatly.
Jiang Nuan was surprised, "Grandpa, why did you come over? I already sent you a message saying Xiao Kuo won't wake up until tomorrow morning."
Grandpa Jiang smiled, "Grandpa saw the message. I was just worried about you. Grandpa has sent two maids to help. They are professionally trained and can take excellent care of Xiao Kuo and you."
Jiang Nuan: "..." Did she look like someone who couldn't even take care of herself? Why were they all finding maids for her?
"Grandpa, there's no need for such trouble. Xiao Kuo will only stay at the Third Hospital for three days."
"Silly girl, you need to learn to have servants attend to you. Our Jiang family is vast. You can't do everything yourself. After this period, Grandpa wants you to return and inherit the company." Grandpa Jiang gently patted her shoulder.
Nuannuan had suffered too much hardship over the years. From now on, she wouldn't have to endure it anymore.
Jiang Nuan had actually forgotten that she had a wealthy grandfather.
"Nuannuan, our family has hundreds of servants. They won't be of poor quality like Ninth Master's household."
Upon hearing this, both Mu Jiuchen and Jiang Nuan knew that the old man had seen what had just happened.
Mu Jiuchen looked at him with an apologetic expression, "Grandpa, I'm sorry. This was my oversight."
Jiang Beichen glanced at him coldly, his tone stern, "It is indeed your oversight. Our Nuannuan actually had to suffer such indignities. My Nuannuan, with hundreds of billions in assets, isn't qualified to have children with you, Mu Jiuchen?"
Li Wan almost fainted upon hearing this.
Wasn't the Jiang family without heirs? Why was there such a wealthy grandfather?!
