Chapter 195: The Shop

The weather in M City after the New Year was rather cold. A heavy snowfall that lasted from the beginning of the New Year to the end forced the citizens to remain indoors.

In this kind of weather, Qin Yu was preparing to go out early in the morning.

“Young madam, who is this Ms. Tang You’re looking for?” Ah Bi followed beside Qin Yu and asked curiously.

The last time Tang Rou came over, Ah Bi wasn’t around, that’s why she asked.

“I heard she’s the Tang family’s missing daughter.”

“Oh… She’s an illegitimate daughter?” Ah Bi nodded her head in understanding.

How could the daughter of the first wife go missing? If she really was missing, then she should be an illegitimate daughter.

Ah Bi’s guess wasn’t unreasonable, but Qin Yu thought of Tang Rou’s temperament and style. She couldn’t possibly associate her with the title of “Illegitimate daughter.”

She was like a young lady from a real noble family, proud, domineering, noble, and elegant.

How could an illegitimate daughter have such temperaments?

Qin Yu looked out the window, her gaze somewhat profound.

Where did this Tang Rou suddenly appear from?

Today was the day Qin Yu agreed to go and get the perfume from Tang Rou. They agreed on a time and place. The location was at shop 23 on the thirteenth floor of the International Trade Building in downtown.

Before going, Qin Yu checked the establishment out. They sold a luxury perfume brand, Melifluo. Qin Yu had even gone to find out more about this brand.

Melifluo was considered a high-achieving newbie in the perfume industry. In just three short years, it won both the Silver Award of the International Perfume Awards and the Slan Sifi Perfume Foundation’s Grand Award for Outstanding Perfume. In one fell swoop, it made a name for itself in the perfume industry.

Qin Yu understood, so she gladly agreed to the appointment.

When they arrived at the International Trade Building, Qin Yu asked Ah Bi to book a full-body massage service for her at a beauty salon on the 13th floor. Then, she went to shop 23.

Ah Bi thought that since this was a luxury store, there should be no problem with security. Moreover, they were on the first floor. Qin Yu should not encounter any trouble, so she went off to book a massage service for Qin Yu first.

When she arrived at the business, Qin Yu entered the door and saw rows of test-tube incense racks. The design of the entire booth was very luxurious, almost no different from that of the world’s top luxury store.

Qin Yu went out today, still wearing thick clothes. After all, Ah Yu didn’t want her to feel cold. As long as she felt that Qin Yu wasn’t wearing enough clothes, she would add more layers for Qin Yu.

In the shop, besides Qin Yu, there was a woman in her thirties shopping for perfume. Beside her was a staff recommending perfume to her.

No one paid attention to Qin Yu, so she went to the display stand and glanced at the perfume on the shelf.

The perfume was arranged according to different scents, but most of them were sweet. After all, the perfume that Melifluo won the Grand Prix was an Arabian rose perfume. They were probably best at concocting flowery fragrances.

Qin Yu looked at the perfume’s description and picked out two perfumes that she was more interested in. Just as she was about to spray them on her wrist, a voice suddenly sounded from behind her, “Excuse me?”

Qin Yu turned around and saw that the staff from earlier was already standing behind her. She was looking at her with a shocked gaze.

That’s right, her eyes were filled with shock.

Qin Yu thought she had done something bad when she looked at her like that, so she asked politely, “What’s wrong?”

When the shopkeeper heard what Qin Yu said, she looked down at the perfume in Qin Yu’s hand, then she said, “I’m sorry, the perfume in your hand is for men. It doesn’t suit you. If you want to see a cheaper fragrance for women, you should go to the ones.”

After Qin Yu heard what the staff said, she frowned and was somewhat baffled.

That’s right, the fragrance in her hand was indeed made for men.

That was because Qin Yu didn’t think much of the fragrance for women, so she wanted to see if the fragrance for men would be better. She saw that the composition of this wooden fragrance for men was quite novel, so she was ready to give it a try, could it be that a woman like her couldn’t purchase it?

There was no discrimination in using one such product by the opposite sex.

What was the problem?

When the staff saw Qin Yu’s confused look, a hint of impatience could be seen in her eyes. She didn’t even look at Qin Yu, she raised her arm and waved her hand. “Can you please go somewhere else? The perfume here is more expensive, so we don’t recommend trying it.”

The way the shopkeeper waved her hand was as if she was chasing away a fly. Her whole body revealed a sense of disdain and contempt for Qin Yu.

Qin Yu finally understood —

She was wearing a bulging outfit today, and she didn’t look like one of those ladies who cared about elegance and warmth. She wasn’t wearing any branded jewelry either. The staff probably thought that she was poor, that was why she stopped her from testing.
