Digging a Pit and Jumping into It

Lin Qingwan said, "The Supreme Series skincare products from our company are currently sold out. If you still want them, you can wait. We will notify you as soon as we have stock again."

"Alright, alright, alright." The two society ladies nodded. "Remember to let us know then. We need to buy several more sets."

These skincare products were perfect for currying favor with those from families of higher status than theirs, and they weren't exorbitantly expensive either.

"Wan'er, how much is a set? I'll transfer the money to you," one of the ladies inquired.

Lin Qingwan smiled and said, "There's no need for payment. It doesn't cost much. Since you are my mother's friends, consider these as gifts from me to you two aunties. You can pay next time."

The Supreme Series skincare was selling like hotcakes. In the future, she would make billions, even tens of billions, from these products. A few hundred thousand or even a million was nothing in her eyes.

Lin Qingwan's lips curved into a smile.

Only with sufficient money would she have a say, and Little Xuan would eventually acknowledge her as his real older sister.

Seeing they didn't have to pay, the two ladies were overjoyed. "Then thank you, Wan'er. You are so thoughtful."

Lin Qingwan said, "Mom, Aunties, I have some matters to attend to and need to go out now, so I must excuse myself."

Jiang Shuqin said, "Then you should hurry and go take care of your business."

After Lin Qingwan left, the two society ladies began lavishing praise on Jiang Shuqin again.

Jiang Shuqin hadn't been flattered like this in a long time; the smile on her face never faded.

After parting ways with the ladies, she returned home.

"Mom, you're back."

Lin Li had already been discharged from the hospital. After the successive ordeals of this period, his complexion had become quite haggard. Even some white hairs had appeared on his head.

A while ago, in the hospital, he had nearly been driven to the brink of suicide.

But he knew he couldn't die. If he died, he would lose any chance of turning his life around and would be letting Lin Xuan have his way.

He had to live!

Not only live, but live splendidly!

He now needed to start preparing for his entrepreneurial venture.

He absolutely had to plan carefully.

"Good, good, good."

Jiang Shuqin nodded with a smile.

She handed the skincare set to a maid. "Take this to my room. Be careful, don't drop it."

"Yes, Madam."

The maid took the skincare upstairs.

"Mom," Lin Li asked curiously, "What happened? You seem so happy."

Jiang Shuqin said with a smile, "Li'er, let me tell you, the skincare series your sister developed is incredibly effective. Scars and acne fade away easily. Right now, your eldest sister's company has completely sold out of that product line."

Lin Li's eyes lit up.

Recently, there had been too many people cursing him online; he hardly dared to go on the internet.

He hadn't expected this piece of news.

Excellent!

If Eldest Sister's skincare products were really selling that well, then he had a strong backing.

Moreover, for his startup, Eldest Sister could provide substantial funding.

Lin Li said excitedly, "Mom, so Eldest Sister must have made a lot of money?"

"She definitely made a huge profit, an extraordinary amount," Jiang Shuqin answered without hesitation. "The profit margin on skincare is the highest, and your sister sells it at a premium. This time, I estimate she could have made hundreds of millions, maybe even over a billion."

Women's money was the easiest to earn. Many women were willing to spend any amount for beauty.

It was just that too many people were eyeing the skincare and cosmetics market.

When Wan'er founded DR Beauty, she had thought it was just a small venture, but she never expected Wan'er to actually make a name for herself.

Truly worthy of being her, Jiang Shuqin's, daughter. So capable.

"Congratulations to Eldest Sister then."

A wide smile spread across Lin Li's face. He sat down on the sofa next to Jiang Shuqin, took her hand, and his attitude became very attentive.

"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely achieve something great like Eldest Sister, so you can enjoy a life of luxury," Lin Li said earnestly.

"Good, good, good. Mom believes in you," Jiang Shuqin said affectionately.

A dark glint flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes.

Spend money to let Jiang Shuqin live in luxury?

How was that possible?

It was Jiang Shuqin who had sent his birth mother to prison back then. He had never forgotten that grudge.

Also, it was because of Jiang Shuqin's interference that his mother couldn't be with his father.

Once he became successful in the future, he would definitely drive Jiang Shuqin and all the other Lins out of the house.

A cold light flashed in Lin Li's eyes.

The Lin family's kindness to him was merely the result of his own ingratiation.

If he hadn't carefully flattered these Lin family members, he probably would have been kicked out of the Lin household the day Lin Xuan returned.

He had long been fed up with this life of living under someone else's roof.

And his biological father, who had abandoned his mother, even kept his mother as a hidden mistress all along. When the scandal broke, he had ruthlessly discarded his birth mother without hesitation. He was simply not a good father or husband.

Therefore, he felt no gratitude towards anyone in the Lin family, only resentment and hatred.

"Li'er, what would you like to eat? Mom is in a good mood today, I'll cook for you myself," Jiang Shuqin said with a smile.

Lin Li smiled back. "Mom, I like anything you make. I'll help you in the kitchen."

Mother and son walked into the kitchen harmoniously.

Jiangtong Cosmetics Company.

Jiang Yutong sat at her desk.

Her secretary stood before her, reporting on the situation at DR Beauty Company.

"President Jiang, the Supreme Series produced by DR Beauty Company has suddenly gained explosive word-of-mouth. It's been completely sold out, with sales even surpassing those during major promotional events."

"If Lin Qingwan weren't short on funds and constrained by production scale, her company wouldn't have only sold seven hundred million worth of goods this time."

Jiang Yutong smiled. "Not bad. She must be feeling very pleased with herself right now."

The secretary replied, "She is indeed very pleased. The smile hasn't left her face."

Jiang Yutong's lips curved. "It's almost time. Soon, Lin Qingwan will experience what it feels like to be lifted high and then come crashing down."

The more she sold, the more consumers would develop skin problems, and the more compensation DR Beauty Company would have to pay.

She wondered if Lin Qingwan had that much money to compensate.

Moreover, after this incident, DR Beauty Company's reputation would be severely damaged. It would likely be difficult for her to sell her company's previous product lines as well.

She hoped Lin Qingwan could continue to surprise her.

"President Jiang," the secretary asked curiously, "What exactly are you and Young Master Lin planning?"

It had been quite some time since that product series was copied by Lin Qingwan's company, yet their President and Young Master Lin hadn't shown any reaction.

Their calmness was truly unusual.

Good night, everyone.
