At the start, I had to choose one of four options, and I immediately picked the Brahmin from the cou

The sound of Xu Manman slamming the door made the artistic chandelier at the end of the corridor tremble slightly.

The unrestrained laughter in the private room gradually subsided, but Wang Yali and Zhou Xin stood there, their faces ashen, not even daring to pick up the hair clips that had fallen from their heads.

Chen Xiaoxue took a sip of her sparkling water, her eyes sweeping coldly over the two pale faces, a sneer curling at the corners of her lips.

"What, aren't you going to sit down and continue getting your hair done?"

Tang Tingting crossed her legs, letting the stylist spray hairspray on her while casually glancing at herself in the mirror.

"You didn't dare utter a sound in front of Xu Manman just now, and now you're all wilted like a frostbitten eggplant. Who are you trying to impress? Don't forget, it was Miaomiao who took you to the black card booth at SPACE tonight out of kindness."

Wang Yali suddenly shivered, as if waking from a dream, she grabbed Zhou Xin and quickly walked behind Lin Miaomiao.

"Miaomiao, we...we really didn't mean that!"

Wang Yali's voice was trembling, and her eyes were red; she was almost ready to bow to Lin Miaomiao on the spot.

"We've long since stopped following Xu Manman! She treats us like free maids, making us serve her food and water. Unlike you, who's so generous and righteous! Tonight... tonight we promise we'll behave well and won't embarrass you!"

Zhou Xin nodded repeatedly, like someone pounding garlic, her voice pleading, "Yes, yes, Miaomiao, from now on in 404, we'll absolutely follow your lead! Xu Manman is just jealous of you!"

Lin Miaomiao remained seated in the central armchair.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 1110 ...

In the mirror, after Tony's skillful styling, her slightly wavy, wine-red hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, making her small, fair face look even more delicate and elegant, like a duke's daughter who had just stepped out of a European castle.

She slowly put down the crystal glass in her hand, making a very slight "click" sound.

This slight sound made Wang Yali and Zhou Xin's hearts jump into their throats.

"Alright."

Lin Miaomiao finally spoke, her tone flat and without any inflection, without even turning her head.

"Talk is cheap, doing things well is what matters. Tonight, SPACE is booked by Zheng Hao, and every single one of his friends is a prominent and wealthy second-generation heir in Jianye. Xu Manman just made a threat; she'll definitely bring people to cause trouble tonight."

Lin Miaomiao raised her long, slender fingers and casually fiddled with the exquisite earrings she had just put on her earlobe, a cold and ruthless glint in her eyes.

"Once we get to the bar, if either of you dares to harbor even the slightest thought of betraying us, or if you give Xu Manman a fool of herself in front of Zheng Hao and the others—"

Lin Miaomiao paused for a moment, then looked directly into the pale eyes of the two people behind her through the mirror, her words as sharp as knives.

"Even without Xu Manman blacklisting you, I, Lin Miaomiao, can make it impossible for you to stay at the entire Jianye Art Academy. Understand?"

"Understood! Understood! Miaomiao, don't worry, if Xu Manman dares to come tonight, we'll be the first to stand up and tear her apart!" Wang Yali patted her chest to show her loyalty, afraid that if she was even a second too slow, she would be kicked out.

"Yes, we only recognize you, Miaomiao!"

Zhou Xin quickly echoed her sentiment.

Lin Miaomiao withdrew her gaze, a barely perceptible hint of disdain flashing in her eyes. She had no intention of genuinely treating this kind of opportunist, coerced and lured in by self-interest, as nothing more than useless fodder tonight to shield her from criticism and demonstrate her authority.

"Tony, let's settle the bill." Lin Miaomiao stood up gracefully, opened the black and white Chanel hobo bag, took out the platinum bank card with a limit of hundreds of thousands, and handed it over lightly.

Tony, the hairstylist, accepted the card with both hands, his smile practically overflowing with honey: "Alright, Ms. Lin! The full top-tier treatment plus the exclusive styling for four people will cost 13,800. The invoice and treatment gifts have been put in your bag. Have a wonderful time at SPACE tonight!"

Standing to the side, Wang Yali and Zhou Xin stared at the card that had been swiped for over ten thousand yuan. The fear in their eyes was instantly replaced by immense greed and shock.

More than 10,000 yuan just for a haircut! This is an astronomical figure for an ordinary college student, but Lin Miaomiao didn't even blink when she swiped her card!

Chen Xiaoxue and Tang Tingting had also finished their styling. The six girls filed out of the salon's VIP entrance, each one radiant and exuding confidence after their makeover, instantly attracting the attention of countless passersby along the street.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man and a saddle makes the horse, not to mention that art academies are already quite good.

After being meticulously styled by several top hairstylists at Hair Code, the six individuals exuded a completely transformed and refined aura in every gesture.

Especially Lin Miaomiao, who was walking in the very center, had her wine-red, slightly wavy long hair fluttering in the wind. Her perfectly tailored off-shoulder black dress accentuated her graceful and slender figure, and she carried a dazzling Chanel hobo bag across her shoulder. She looked as aloof and noble as a movie star walking the red carpet.

For a moment, passersby along the street all turned their heads to look.

Several young men sitting outside a cafe along the street even forgot about their coffee, their eyes glued to Lin Miaomiao.

Several expensive cars passing by slowed down in perfect unison as they passed by, their windows rolling down to cast admiring and curious glances at them.

Even a few male college students from the university town across the street blushed and stole glances during the shoving and pulling, whispering about which college's top campus belle this was.

This feeling of being the center of attention and the focus of everyone's attention inflated Lin Miaomiao's vanity and arrogance to the extreme.

She wore seven-centimeter pointed high heels, her back ramrod straight, each step drawing everyone's attention. Tang Tingting and Chen Xiaoxue beside her also proudly raised their chins, thoroughly enjoying the thrill of making the surrounding passersby mere background figures.

As Wang Yali and Zhou Xin walked at the back, seeing the envious glances from those around them, the greed and vanity that had just been suppressed in their hearts began to grow wildly again—they were extremely glad that they had just bowed their heads and submitted to Lin Miaomiao, otherwise how could they be standing on this glamorous cloud?

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman before?" Tang Tingting giggled, tidied her hair, and winked at Lin Miaomiao. "Miaomiao, look at those guys over there. Their eyes are practically popping out of your head."

Lin Miaomiao glanced at the few male college students standing frozen across the street out of the corner of her eye, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

Upon realizing they had been discovered, the male college students acted as if burned, hurriedly and frantically lowering their heads. They pretended to look at their phones or awkwardly pushed each other to cover their tracks.

Seeing their uneasy expressions, Lin Miaomiao's smile deepened.
