Madame Qiao felt a surge of anger and frustration upon learning the extent of Qiao Xuan's success. It was a substantial amount of money that Qiao Xuan had made from the lipstick business.
The popularity of the lipsticks had persisted for over a year in the province, and yet Madame Qiao and her Old Master had struggled immensely to gather enough funds for Old Master's position in the capital. If only she had known about Qiao Xuan's financial success earlier, she wouldn't have endured so many sleepless nights or sold precious belongings.
Qiao Xuan, seemingly aware of Madame Qiao's vexation, added fuel to the fire with a mischievous smile. "Actually, it's not entirely my doing. My sister-in-laws have been instrumental, and this wealth belongs to the Shao Family."
