First, then, love.

Two hours.

Facial care, body massage, head massage.

Lin Shufen went from being tense at the beginning to falling into a deep sleep, and even started snoring softly.

By the time the whole process was finished, it was past noon.

Lin Shufen sat up from the beauty bed and went to the bathroom to look in the mirror.

The face in the mirror was radiant with moisture, and the fine lines at the corners of the eyes had visibly faded, making the person look five years younger.

"Wow, expensive things really are different!" Lin Shufen touched her face, her eyes full of amazement. "Sister Li's 68-yuan plaster didn't work this well, even after rubbing it until the skin was raw."

The two changed their clothes and went to the front desk to pay the bill.

The receptionist handed over a long bill.

"Miss Shu, the full treatment for both of you, plus the six-month anti-aging kit for your wife, will cost a total of 68,500."

Lin Shufen had just picked up a cup of rose tea when her hand trembled, and she almost spilled it all over herself.

Sixty-eight thousand five.

Washing my face cost me the price of a low-end sedan.

She gasped, turned to grab Shu Yao's hand, and wanted to ask to return that gift set.

Shu Yao ignored her, deftly pulled the black credit card from her bag, and handed it over.

"Swipe your card."

The POS machine beeps.

Shu Yao entered the police siren code that she knew by heart.

The receipt will be dispensed; sign it.

It was all done in one go, without even blinking.

Lin Shufen stared at the receipt, her heart pounding. She clutched her chest, feeling like she couldn't breathe properly.

"You brat, you spendthrift! Over 60,000! How much do you earn in a year?" He walked out of the beauty salon.

Lin Shufen finally couldn't hold back any longer and started muttering.

Shu Yao walked ahead, wearing high heels.

"That's He Zheng's money, why are you so upset?"

She pointed to the row of brightly lit luxury women's clothing stores in front of her.

"This is called initial investment. If you dress like a country bumpkin tomorrow night, the He family will just think we're easy to bully. Clothes make the man, understand?"

"Besides, I didn't ask for the card he gave me."

"Mom, can't you be a little more worthy of me?"

Step into an Italian haute couture women's clothing brand store.

The clothes here don't have price tags; the sales assistants decide what to buy based on the customer's preferences.

As Shu Yao entered, she pointed directly to the most eye-catching dark green silk dress on the clothes rack.

"Take that one and let my mom try it."

Upon seeing Shu Yao's outfit and aura, the sales assistant immediately and attentively took off the clothes and guided Lin Shufen into the fitting room.

Ten minutes later, Lin Shufen walked out awkwardly.

The dark green silk fabric has an excellent drape, the waistline is perfectly fitted, and the neckline design is dignified and elegant.

Lin Shufen's skin was fair and radiant after a skincare treatment, and wearing this outfit, she exuded the air of a well-educated and elegant lady.

Shu Yao sat on the sofa and nodded.

"Not bad, that's pretty convincing."

Lin Shufen looked at herself in the full-length mirror and was quite satisfied with herself.

But when I turned up the collar, I couldn't find a price tag.

"Miss, how much is this dress?" she asked the saleswoman next to her.

The saleswoman had a sweet smile.

"Madam, this is a limited edition from our Milan headquarters. It's entirely hand-embroidered and costs 39,900."

Lin Shufen's legs went weak, and she almost knelt down.

Thirty-nine thousand nine,000, for a piece of clothing.

When she buys clothes, she haggles for ages if the price is over 500 yuan.

"Take it off, I'm not buying it. The fabric is so thin, it'll tear in the washing machine." Lin Shufen turned to go back to the fitting room. "I'll just go downstairs to Uniqlo and buy a couple of pieces."

Shu Yao stood up and grabbed her shoulder.

"Pack it up," she said directly to the sales assistant.

"And also wrap up the high heels that go with this outfit."

Lin Shufen's eyes widened like saucers as she gripped Shu Yao's arm tightly.

"Yaoyao! Are you crazy! This adds up to tens of thousands!"

"Swipe your card." Shu Yao handed the black card to the saleswoman.

The POS machine beeped again.

Fifty-eight thousand.

The receipt was handed over, and Shu Yao signed it.

His movements were fluid and graceful, exuding an arrogance that regarded money as dirt.

The saleswoman respectfully handed over several huge shopping bags.

Shu Yao took it and stuffed it directly into Lin Shufen's hand.

"Here you go, this is a gift from your son-in-law, don't get it dirty."

Lin Shufen held the shopping bags as if they were ticking time bombs, her hands trembling uncontrollably.

I left Hang Lung.

It was already 3 p.m.

The two rested at an outdoor cafe on the first floor of the mall.

Shu Yao ordered an iced Americano, while Lin Shufen ordered a hot milk.

After buying the big items, Lin Shufen's heartbeat gradually calmed down as she looked at the shopping bags with huge logos printed on them.

Vanity began to swell like an inflating balloon.

She took out her phone, placed several shopping bags together, adjusted the angle, and found the right lighting.

"Click!" A photo was taken.

I opened Meitu Xiu Xiu and did a series of operations.

Add a filter and adjust the brightness.

Then open WeChat Moments.

Edit the text.

"My daughter is sensible, and my son-in-law is filial. He bought her a whole new outfit for our family dinner this weekend. This girl is just so extravagant. Sigh, there's really no way to deal with her."

Add a sighing emoji and a photo of the shopping bag.

send.

A perfect Versailles.

She precisely blocked Shu Jianguo and several relatives within the system, making them visible only to her close friends and aunts who were usually competitive.

After posting on WeChat Moments.

Lin Shufen picked up the hot milk, took a sip, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Feeling completely comfortable.

Shu Yao, biting her straw, couldn't help but roll her eyes at her mother's smug look.

"Mom, aren't you afraid people will ask what your son-in-law does when you post on WeChat Moments?"

"Just ask, so what if he's the captain of the special police unit? The He family is rich, they didn't steal or rob anyone." Lin Shufen was now very confident.

She placed her phone on the table and would occasionally light up the screen to see if anyone had liked it.

Suddenly, the phone screen lit up.

There's new interaction on WeChat Moments.

Lin Shufen quickly clicked on it.

A German Shepherd avatar frame appears alone at the top of the likes list.

Note: Son-in-law He Zheng.

Lin Shufen was stunned, her hand trembled, and she almost knocked her phone to the ground.

"Yaoyao...he...he liked it," Lin Shufen stammered, pushing her phone in front of Shuyao.

Shu Yao looked down.

Sure enough, He Zheng liked that pretentious post on his WeChat Moments.

Liked instantly.

It was sent out in less than ten seconds.

Doesn't this person go to work?

Shu Yao raised an eyebrow and released the straw.

When did you add him on WeChat?

Lin Shufen blushed, feeling a little embarrassed.

"That day...that's when he came to fix the water pipes," Lin Shufen recalled.

That day, He Zheng crawled out from under the kitchen sink, washed his hands, and while drying them, he took out his phone and opened the WeChat QR code.

It was handed directly to Lin Shufen.

At that time, he looked calm and composed.

"Auntie, let's add each other on WeChat. If any appliances break down, or if the water pipes leak, or if you need to move heavy things, just send me a message anytime. I live nearby."

That attitude was so upright and honest.

Lin Shufen was so touched by his honest and simple appearance that she quickly took out her phone and scanned the QR code.

I even changed his nickname.

Son-in-law He Zheng.

Who knew, this wasn't an honest person at all.

He's clearly a cunning bandit with more tricks up his sleeve than a lotus root.

Taking down the mother-in-law first is like planting a spy inside the enemy camp.

Shu Yao looked at the dog icon and sneered.

He's probably training at the SWAT base right now, yet he still has time to browse his WeChat Moments.

What's even more damning is that Lin Shufen's post on her WeChat Moments included the caption "son-in-law is filial."

He Zheng's immediate like meant that he had seen it.

He knew that Shu Yao was using his card to swindle customers in the mall.

He wasn't angry, nor did he feel sorry for him.

You're even quite satisfied?

Like a cat owner who's finally satisfied with the cat treats they bought. A sense of smug satisfaction.

Shu Yao picked up her phone and opened WeChat.

I tapped the dog icon and my fingers flew across the screen typing.

Yao: Using your phone during work hours? Captain He, what about discipline?

Send it over.

The other party immediately displayed: Typing...

He Zheng replied instantly.

HZ: Just finished training and I'm drinking water.

HZ: Did you enjoy swiping your card?

Shu Yao stared at the words and could picture him leaning back in a chair, wearing a sweat-soaked training uniform, holding his phone, looking like a scoundrel with a smirk on his lips.

Yao: It's alright, I spent over 100,000 today. Captain He, are you feeling the pinch?

HZ: I don't feel bad.

HZ: To be continued tomorrow.

Shu Yao locked her phone and tossed it onto the table.

She picked up her iced Americano and took a big sip.

The cold liquid slid down my esophagus, but it couldn't suppress the inexplicable heat rising in my chest.

dog man.

Lin Shufen sat opposite her, looking at her daughter's slightly reddened ears.

She looked down at the likes on her phone, her vanity feeling unprecedentedly satisfied.

who cares.

As long as the money is spent happily, the son-in-law is willing to pay the bill.

Lin Shufen really hit the jackpot in this marriage.
