Ye Tong strutted up to the front desk with an air of arrogance.
The staff at the front desk had overheard the altercation she just had with Ye Yuning and the salon assistant.
Now, a receptionist respectfully inquired, "Miss, would you like to sign up for an annual membership?"
"Yes, do it now, immediately!" Ye Tong barked furiously.
The receptionist nodded. "Are you familiar with our Re, then?"
"I’m not familiar with it!" Ye Tong snapped. "Explain!"
Ye Tong was naturally unaware of some of the high-end places in Upper City. She only came here because it looked much classier than other places.
Seeing her unfamiliarity, the receptionist quickly produced a brochure and briefly explained the salon’s basic features.
Only then did Ye Tong realize why it was so expensive every time she got her hair washed here. It turned out this was Upper City’s finest women’s beauty and wellness center, and the hair salon was merely one part of it. The establishment, spanning over a thousand square meters, boasted a dedicated skin management center, a swimming pool, yoga studios, and more! Many wealthy ladies with elegant hobbies held private memberships here.
By the end of the explanation, Ye Tong finally understood that the annual membership fees here were incredibly high. The membership she was currently inquiring about started at one year and required a minimum payment of 100,000 yuan!
"One hundred thousand? Are you robbing people?" Ye Tong exclaimed in shock.
After returning to the Ye Family, Zheng Cai would casually buy her bags or outfits worth tens of thousands. But now things were different!
The Ye Family is in disarray. Zheng Cai, who used to give me pocket money every so often, hasn’t given me any for a long time. Plus, there are the Ye Family’s dividends! In the end, Ye Yuning’s shares weren’t returned, so apart from relying on Zheng Cai, I have nothing. And now Zheng Cai’s attitude towards me has changed ...!
Ye Tong’s exclamation drew the attention of the other customers having their hair treated, and they all turned to look at her.
The receptionist chuckled awkwardly. "I’m sorry, Miss, but this is our membership system. If you find the terms unacceptable, you don’t have to sign up."
"Sign me up! Why wouldn’t I be able to accept it?" Ye Tong declared. Just because Ye Yuning can accept it, does that mean I can’t?
At that moment, Ye Yuning, sitting by a bay window on the second floor, watched the fiercely combative Ye Tong downstairs, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Ye Tong immediately swiped her card for 100,000 yuan!
Knowing Ye Yuning was on the second floor, she insisted on going upstairs for her member services as well.
A salon assistant respectfully escorted her upstairs and handed her over to an attendant there.
The attendant stepped forward courteously. "Hello, Miss. Are you a member now?" Read complete versıon only at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖•𝗇𝗲𝘁
"Yes!" Ye Tong said through gritted teeth.
The 100,000 yuan stung, especially since she didn’t have much cash on hand at the moment.
The attendant continued, "Then may I ask what services you would like today?"
"What services do you have?"
Although the receptionist had described many services earlier, she hadn’t really been listening.
Just then, Ye Yuning emerged after having her hair washed. She saw an attendant presenting a service menu to Ye Tong, detailing options like hydrating injections, body sculpting, and so on! The menu also listed the prices.
When Ye Tong saw that the cheapest body sculpting option was priced at 168,000 yuan, she exclaimed again, "Just shaping the waist and back costs 168,000?"
"Yes, Miss. This service is very popular right now. It’s highly suitable for someone like you, with a bit of flesh around the waist and a somewhat heavy back!"
Ye Tong was speechless.
No wonder the membership here starts at 100,000 yuan! That wouldn’t even cover one sculpting session...! So, I spent 100,000 yuan just to become an ordinary member?
Completely focused on the money, Ye Tong didn’t even register the attendant’s comment about her figure. If this were the past, if anyone had dared to say that about my figure, I would have definitely blown up!
Seeing her silence, the attendant seemed to grasp the situation. He then flipped the service menu to another page and said to Ye Tong, "Actually, Miss, I’d recommend you start with some skin management."
"Your skin is rather dark. We have a whitening injection here that would be very suitable for you, and its effects are exceptionally good."
The phrase ’your skin is rather dark’ instantly made Ye Tong’s expression turn sour. The price listed for the whitening injection on top of that made her glare fiercely at the attendant. "You’re the one who’s dark! Your whole family is dark!"
Over 100,000 yuan just for whitening? This is a total rip-off, isn’t it?!
"I want a refund! I don’t want this membership anymore!" Ye Tong said, utterly frustrated.
At that moment, quite a few customers on the second floor were receiving treatments. Ye Yuning, sitting nearby, listened to Ye Tong’s increasingly heated argument with the staff but didn’t spare her another glance.
When Zheng Cai arrived, she was still on the ground floor when she heard Ye Tong’s shrill voice coming from upstairs.
She instinctively glanced upstairs and saw Ye Tong, her hair disheveled, arguing with someone.
I originally came here to relax, precisely because I didn’t want to face this daughter of mine and Ye Shilong. Who would have thought I’d actually run into them here!
Considering this was her own daughter, and seeing her current disheveled state, Zheng Cai thought for a moment and finally decided to head upstairs.
