A family can only have one bald man, so Shen Youlin sent Dou'e to the pet store to have all her fur shaved off, while he himself ran to the hair salon for a new head of hair.
Yu Shu had not taken care of her hair for a long ti either, so she accompanied him there.
Shen Youlin washed his hair well. His hair was lengthened with extensions and under the expert trimming of the premier stylist, top-notch Tony, the barren patch on the back of his head was perfectly concealed.
With a full head of hair, Shen Youlin felt rejuvenated. He was able to climb six flights of stairs without breaking a sweat.
Yu Shu was not done with her hair yet. Shen Youlin kept squeezing his face in front of hers, asking, "Don't I look more handso now?"
Yu Shu complinted him sincerely, "Handso. You are the most handso."
Shen Youlin was fully satisfied that this salon really lived up to its reputation. He wanted to get their most expensive mbership card. When the staff heard this, they smiled even more brilliantly and respectfully led him to the mbership counter.
"Youlin, what are you doing here?"
Just as Shen Youlin finished getting his card and walked out, he bumped right into Zhao Wenqian in the lobby. Zhao Wenqian was with two other won, one being Su Nianwei, and the other Shen Youlin did not recognize. Judging from her outfit, she was likely another wealthy madam putting on an act of being "nobly aloof."
With his discerning eyes that could spot a coquette from a mile away, Shen Youlin knew right away that the unknown woman was no virtuous lady.
Shen Youlin looked at Zhao Wenqian as if she was an idiot. "What else would I be doing at a hair salon?"
Zhao Wenqian could not maintain her facade and spoke with the benevolence befitting a sister-in-law. "Look at you. You ca back to the capital but didn't even go ho to visit. Grandmother talks about you every day."
Shen Youlin did not bother keeping up appearances. "Seeing you there kills my appetite. I'll go back when you move out of the old house."
Zhao Wenqian had a son and daughter with her husband. She raised them herself in a modest household manner. But the old matriarch could not bear to see this, as they were the heirs who would one day lead the family. So she took them into the old house to raise personally. Not wanting to part from her children, and also feeling that having the old matriarch's personal tutelage was a blessing and boosted the family's reputation, Zhao Wenqian also moved into the old house.
Su Nianwei pleaded, "Brother Youlin, don't talk to Sister Wenqian like that..."
"Damn!" Shen Youlin leapt three feet into the air. Hearing Su Nianwei address him so intimately, he recoiled three big steps back as if avoiding the plague. "Don't call so affectionately. We're not close. I'm a married man now, I'm warning you, don't call that again in the future."
Su Nianwei looked shocked and lowered her head as if about to cry.
Zhao Wenqian quickly asked, "Which family's daughter is it? How co you didn't bring her ho to et us?"
Shen Youlin snorted. "None of your business, mind your own."
Yu Shu ca out from her hair appointnt. Seeing Shen Youlin arguing with them, she gently held his arm. "Who are you chatting with? Aren't you going to introduce us?"
Shen Youlin instantly retracted all his thorns. He put his arm around her waist. "Just so nobodies. You don't need to know them. Let's go ho."
After saying this, he ushered Yu Shu away. Zhao Wenqian wanted to call him back to ask more questions, but Shen Youlin threw a glare at her— "Ungrateful."
Once in the car, Shen Youlin instantly beca affectionate as a baby bird, leaning into Yu Shu's embrace while explaining to her, "That's my sister-in-law. You don't need to get to know her. She's an incorrigible troublemaker with muddled brains."
"She was trying to pair up with her cousin—that fake noblewoman next to her. I didn't so much as glance at her. I'm innocent, dear wife, you have to believe !"
"I believe you, I believe you. You're a model of masculine virtue."
Shen Youlin giggled. "In a couple days, I'll take you to et my grandma. You don't need to know anyone else."
"It's too soon for that. Let's talk about it later. What about the other one in the beige coat, do you know her? She looked familiar to so I took a closer look. She seed a bit flustered when she saw , but quickly cald herself down. It made wonder where I might have seen her before."
"Don't know her. She's probably so rich man's little wife. My sister-in-law is so muddled she won't socialize with proper noblewon and madams, and looks down on them with pretend nobility. Forget about her. If I told you all the absurd things she's done, three days and three nights wouldn't be enough. She really brings bad luck."
"I see." Yu Shu smiled and ruffled his hair.
Shen Youlin's face grew hot. He told the driver, "Don't pick up Dou'e anymore. Go straight ho."
Yu Shu asked, "Hmm?"
Shen Youlin giggled. "Not suitable for children."
Whose wedding night is this, for the wretched son to make trouble at ho?!
