The Reincarnated Goddess is Fierce Chapter 425 - I’m Afraid to Look Ugly

Chapter 425: I’m Afraid to Look Ugly

Much to Yu Lanxiang’s surprise however, Liu Manhong began to lead an even more carefree, unrestrained life after her divorce.
As she saw how Hongyan kept prospering under Liu Manhong’s management, with more and more chain stores springing up, Yu Lanxiang couldn’t stand it anymore.
Her oldest son, Wan Shicheng, had joined the business management in recent years, which not only made her proud but relieved at the same time.
However, Wan Xianyao started having even more mistresses than he did before, which added to her grievance.
Other women might have divorced him by now, but not her. She insisted on holding on to her marriage, wasting her time and effort on Wan Xianyao.
The more she held onto it, the more furious she became. These days, she was catching her husband and his mistress in their act on a monthly basis, a drama that bystanders enjoyed watching.
That only added to her hatred towards Liu Manhong.
How could a divorced woman like Liu Manhong live life in such a graceful, carefree way?
Due to various reasons, Yu Lanxiang decided to open a beauty parlor and square up with Liu Manhong.
Then things unfolded in the way she wanted—Hongyan closed down.
She was smug when she first saw Liu Manhong here today, and she couldn’t hold back the urge to show off. However, she didn’t expect Liu Manhong to look so stunning and exuberant, the complete opposite of the dispirited look that she was expecting to see on her.
“Shouldn’t Sister Hong be at the shop at this hour? How come you’re here shopping?”
Despite her displeasure and frustration, Yu Lanxiang wouldn’t admit defeat just yet.
“Oh yeah, I forgot! Hongyan has been closed down!” She shook her head with a sigh, faking an apologetic look. “I’m really sorry, I never thought that Xianrong would deal such a huge blow to Hongyan!”
Yu Lanxiang’s loathsome words and behavior ignited a fire of rage in Liu Manhong.
“It doesn’t matter, I think it’s time to take a good rest since I’ve made a lot of money,” she smiled in a humorless way. “Besides, I’m actually glad for you, since you now have something to keep yourself occupied with. You don’t have to go around confronting your husband’s mistresses and getting humiliated anymore! That must have been awful! You should start some hobbies.”
Liu Manhong didn’t know what to comment about her.
She’d rather waste her time and energy on other people than sort things out with her man. How morbid!
Besides, her weak point was more than obvious. It only took a mention of Wan Xianyao’s many affairs to hit her fair and square.
Liu Manhong simply couldn’t understand it. Was she sick in the mind or something?! She was such a mood destructor.
Just as expected, Yu Lanxiang’s face turned ashen at Liu Manhong’s words.
All these theatrical incidents only happened because she was so obsessed with Wan Xianyao.
Fortunately, she was still concerned with her decorum, so she wouldn’t make a scene in public.
After taking a few deep breaths, she cast aside the part about Wan Xianyao, and laughed, “Haha, it’s great that you seem to be in a good mood. I guess I don’t have to feel sorry now. Just tell me if there are any things that you want, I can buy them for you as compensation.”
“No need for that…”
“Don’t worry about it!” Yu Lanxiang turned to wave at the young man behind them, “Shicheng, come here.”
She grabbed her son and smiled at Liu Manhong, “This is my oldest son, he’s the general manager of Wan Corporation now.”
“That’s great,” Liu Manhong said, offering an insincere compliment.
“I heard that Sister Hong hasn’t had a family all these years. Is it because…”
Liu Manhong cut her off with a wave of her hand, “Of course not, I just don’t feel like having children. It’ll be terrible if I start looking as old and haggard as you after having children!” Her smile remained unfaltering. “Nothing really bothers me, I’m just afraid to look ugly.”
Yu Lanxiang’s face turned as dark as coal, neither did the two youngsters beside her look very good.
However, Yu Lanxiang wouldn’t give in just yet, “Is that so? I thought you might have secretly given birth to a daughter. Why else would you come to shops like this one?”
“Sister Hong,” a clear, pleasant voice sounded.
All of them turned to look at once, immediately stunned.
