97: The sense of superiority that Chen Li brought

"Really?" Another girl put down her lemonade, half-believing.

"But speaking of which, Liu Yu's bags and clothes have all changed lately; they're all big brands we usually don't dare to buy."

"If that's really the case, how much must her boyfriend pamper her?" The short-haired girl couldn't help but exclaim.

The delicate-looking girl who spoke first smiled. "Actually, it's not surprising. Liu Yu was always the most outstanding among us. Her Appearance and Figure are impeccable, so it's not strange she'd find a boyfriend like that."

"That's true," the girl in the pink dress nodded, her tone filled with envy. "At every gathering before, she was always the most eye-catching one."

As they were speaking, a soft sound of footsteps came from the doorway.

Everyone looked up in unison, their eyes filled with anticipation and curiosity.

"Sorry, the traffic was a bit heavy, I'm late."

Liu Yu said as she walked over quickly, followed by the exceptionally elegant Song Lingyun.

"We were just talking about you," the delicate-looking girl greeted her with a smile, her curious gaze turning toward Song Lingyun. "And this is?"

"Let me introduce her to everyone. This is my good sister, Song Lingyun." Liu Yu intimately linked her arm with Song Lingyun's.

"Hello, everyone." Song Lingyun also greeted them politely.

The girls present widened their eyes in unison and greeted Song Lingyun one after another.

Song Lingyun was wearing a simple tracksuit, yet it couldn't hide her outstanding temperament.

Her fair skin, features as exquisite as if they were meticulously carved, and her well-proportioned, moving curves.

"So beautiful..." someone whispered in amazement.

Despite her simple attire, Song Lingyun's beauty was as dazzling as a luminous pearl.

Even in a circle full of beauties, her Appearance was still a sight to behold, like a star athlete walking onto an amateur court.

Liu Yu looked at everyone's stunned expressions and smiled with satisfaction. "It's my fault for being late today. Everything later is on me, so please enjoy yourselves."

As soon as these words were spoken, a cheer immediately broke out.

There were at least seven or eight people present. All the treatments together would cost at least ten thousand, enough to buy a designer bag.

Yet Liu Yu spoke nonchalantly; her generosity left everyone secretly speechless.

But everyone knew she wasn't the same as before, so they gladly accepted the kindness.

Just then, a girl wearing a bright red dress with permed wavy hair arrived late.

As soon as she entered, she said sarcastically, "Oh, Liu Yu, which Sugar Daddy did you hook up with? Such a big spender."

Liu Yu didn't need to turn around to know it was Zhang Yan.

This woman had always held a grudge against her, simply because Liu Yu had rejected the Balding Boss she introduced back then.

That man was a business partner of Zhang Yan's Sugar Daddy. He had taken a liking to Liu Yu at a party and insisted Zhang Yan play matchmaker.

Liu Yu firmly refused, and from then on, Zhang Yan opposed her at every turn.

"No matter what, he's better than your old man," Liu Yu sneered, not backing down at all.

Her Chen Li was young and promising; how could Zhang Yan's half-century-old Sugar Daddy compare?

"You..." Zhang Yan's sore spot was poked, and her face turned pale with anger. Although she had a sharp tongue, she simply couldn't win an argument with Liu Yu.

"Alright, alright," the short-haired girl quickly intervened. "We're in public; don't make a scene for others to laugh at."

Zhang Yan glared fiercely at Liu Yu before finally letting it go resentfully.

Liu Yu didn't bother with her anymore and affectionately pulled Song Lingyun into the shop.

A Beauty Consultant greeted them warmly and introduced various service items.

The girls each chose their preferred treatments—some for deep cleansing, some for essential oil massage, some for exquisite skincare... Song Lingyun lay on the comfortable beauty bed, feeling the masseuse's professional touch, but her gaze involuntarily drifted to Liu Yu in the next bed.

Seeing Liu Yu's relaxed Appearance as she rested with her eyes closed, she couldn't help but feel emotional—they were able to enjoy such an affluent life now all because of Chen Li.

Perhaps they were the same kind of people at heart—born of ordinary backgrounds but longing for a better life.

Chen Li's Appearance not only satisfied their material pursuits but, more importantly, gave them the freedom of choice,

allowing them to live the life they once only dared to imagine in their dreams. This was exactly why she and Liu Yu felt like old friends from the first meeting.

Similar backgrounds and both having good looks made them feel like they should have met much sooner.

However, a thorn always remained in Song Lingyun's heart: she and Chen Li had originally met in that kind of special setting, which made her feel somewhat unable to hold her head high in front of Liu Yu.

An hour or two later, most people had completed their treatments.

Liu Yu generously walked to the front desk to settle the bill, readily paying for everyone else,

except she set aside Zhang Yan's bill—not in a million years would she pay for someone like that.

She had always been clear about her likes and dislikes; she remembered Zhang Yan's long-term antagonism and sarcasm.

Repaying grievance with kindness was never her style, so naturally, she wouldn't pay for such a person.

At this moment, Zhang Yan was still in the room enjoying the top-tier treatment service.

Knowing Liu Yu was treating, she didn't hesitate to order all the most expensive items—from hair care to nail care, not missing a single one.

Consequently, while everyone else had finished, she still had three treatments left.

When some of the girls came to ask and learned Zhang Yan still needed three hours, they decided not to wait for her.

The group was chatting and laughing about going to the Shopping Mall when, just as they reached the entrance of the Clubhouse, their eyes were drawn to Liu Yu's brand-new white BMW.

"Oh my god, it's really a bmw 7 series!" one girl exclaimed.

The sleek body of the car shimmered with a delicate luster in the sunlight; the girls gasped in admiration and couldn't wait to swarm around it.

As soon as the back door opened, four of them squeezed in giggling, curiously examining every detail inside—someone carefully stroked the high-quality leather seats,

someone leaned forward to study the large screen lighting up on the center console, and the entire cabin was filled with their excited chatter.

"Liu Yu, these seats are so comfortable!"

"I really envy you..."

"How much does this car actually cost?"

"Over a million," Liu Yu replied while buckling her seatbelt.

Song Lingyun sat quietly in the passenger seat, watching their undisguised envy, and couldn't help but sigh—this was all the sense of superiority brought by Chen Li.

She thought about when she should go get a driver's license herself; since Chen Li was so generous to Liu Yu, maybe he would be willing to buy one for her too.

Just as they were happily starting their shopping, Zhang Yan finally finished all her treatments.

Learning that everyone had gone to the Shopping Mall, she shrugged nonchalantly—anyway, her pocket money for this month was almost gone, so she might as well enjoy the free services she just scrounged.

To her, being able to rip Liu Yu off for a large sum was enough to make her satisfied.
