The Villain's Mother

Chapter 119

Chapter 119 - There was nothing that couldn't be changed (1)

After Ruan Xia came out of her baking class, she went straight to the beauty salon near Song Corporation to get a facial.

The original owner had a membership card to almost all of the nearby high-end beauty salons, and she had deposited a lot of money into those membership cards.

When Ruan Xia arrived at the beauty salon, she chose to get a full body treatment along with her facial. As she enjoyed her comfortable massage, she suddenly understood the original owner a little bit better.

It's easy to go from frugal to extravagant. For an ordinary person like her that had to struggle to stay above the poverty line, having two apartments plus over a million yuan in savings was enough for her to laugh so hard that she would wake up from her dream. But for the original owner, who had gotten used to the luxurious life of a wealthy married woman, that was like falling into h*ll from heaven.

The original owner didn't know how and didn't want to depend on the rent that she would get from those two apartments to support her lifestyle. That money wouldn't be able to maintain the quality of life that she had gotten used to. However, she didn't have any skills. She married Song Tingshen before graduating from college and lived a life of leisure from that point on. She didn't have any professional skills to fall back on. The original owner clearly understood her strong points, so she could only go down the same path as before by finding another ATM after Song Tingshen's death.

Of course, this realization also alarmed Ruan Xia.

No one knew how things would develop in the future. Even Ruan Xia couldn't be sure that she wouldn't become like the original owner one day.

Everyone seemed to be sure of their values and bottom line, but in this world, other than the certainty of life and death, there was nothing that couldn't be changed.

By the time Ruan Xia came out of the beauty salon, it was almost 6 PM. She hastily drove to Song Corporation's parking area. She didn't plan on going up to look for Song Tingshen. Instead, she called his number, and her call was quickly picked up.

"You're here? I should be done in ten minutes."

Ruan Xia replied, "Alright, I'll wait for you in the parking area."

"Okay."

After ending the call, Ruan Xia looked at her face with a small mirror. Perhaps, it was just a psychological effect. But, she always thought that her skin had a dewy glow and was satin-soft after a facial. She almost felt like if she pinched her face, water would come out.

She has always been a fan of beauty. Looking at a face like this one, she could look at it for half a day without getting bored.

Ruan Xia was so entranced with this face that she got startled when Song Tingshen opened the passenger door. "When did you come? You scared me to death."

Song Tingshen calmly buckled the seatbelt. He had actually been standing by the car door for a while, but she didn't seem to notice him at all. Left with no other choice, he opened the door and got into the car.

Did all women like to look at themselves in the mirror that much or was it just her?

"You've been looking at yourself in the mirror for a long time," he replied.

Very pleased with herself, Ruan Xia said, "I just came out from a beauty salon. I feel that my skin has gotten much better..."

Probably because they had gotten closer, she didn't have any scruples saying, "They offer skincare treatments for men too. If you have time, you can go try it out too. Really, I feel good all over now."

Song Tingshen: "..."

Fortunately, Ruan Xia didn't continue this topic. She started the car and slowly drove out of the parking area.

It was peak rush hour right now. Because of the traffic jam, it would take about 40 minutes to get from Song Corporation to the Ruan's.

Song Tingshen was much better than before. At the very least, he would take the initiative to look for a topic to talk about with Ruan Xia. Just like right now, he asked, "I see that you haven't been spending time with your friends lately. Did you get into an argument with them?"

In a joking tone, Ruan Xia replied, "I decided to turn over a new leaf."
