Chapter 512 Generosity_1
Mrs. Ma found herself feeling much more at peace about placing the necklace away as she pondered these thoughts, and Kang Yue could finally breathe a sigh of relief as she watched.
At last, a step forward had been taken. "Sister, now that you’ve given me this necklace directly, I definitely need to chat with you a bit more, even though I was too embarrassed to speak up earlier.
On one hand, I felt that we were not that familiar with each other yet, and on the other, it didn’t seem right to discuss these matters with you right after we just met. But now, I really can’t hold back. It’s because you gave this to me that I have the courage to speak my mind."
Mrs. Ma found herself too shy to even know how to begin, but after much deliberation, she decided it was best to voice her desires. After all, it was she who wanted them—it wouldn’t be right to leave everything in the hands of others. If she managed to secure a specific location, then wouldn’t she also be able to sport such hairstyles and makeup?
It was simply marvelous to imagine attending her lady friends’ gatherings, where she would undoubtedly receive praise and become the object of a deluge of envious stares. With such thoughts, she couldn’t help but swell with delight.
"What exactly is it?" Kang Yue was startled for a moment upon hearing this but then quickly considered Mrs. Ma might have some matters she wanted to inquire about. "Mrs. Ma, just speak your mind, and I’ll tell you everything."
"Sister, I was just wondering where you got your hair done? And which master graced your face with makeup? It suits your face shape and image so well. I’ve seen many wealthy persons here, but this is the first time I’ve seen such beautiful curls.
And your makeup is not that simple, fresh kind—what stands out is the red lipstick. I really think it suits you. I’d love to meet this designer to see if an introduction might be possible. If I could get a good styling in the future, I’d surely repay your kindness, sister. What do you say?"
As Mrs. Ma spoke these words, she did so with a touch of embarrassment. Usually, wealthy individuals are reluctant to reveal their personal designers and makeup artists for fear that other ladies might outbid them and then the stylists would solely belong to the highest bidder. Losing a good stylist to someone else could infuriate any woman. That’s why everyone keeps tight-lipped about their designers and stylists; they dread running into someone sporting the same makeup or hairstyle, which could easily provoke anger.
Unless they are especially close, such personal details are seldom shared, for fear of being poached. So now everyone is extremely cautious, and Mrs. Ma couldn’t help but ask because the hairstyle and makeup were simply too appealing, enough to make any woman’s heart race. Her inquiry was not too impolite under such circumstances.
