I awakened the cultivation panel.

Chapter 69 The Envy of Stay-at-Home Moms
"You also think I've changed a lot?"

Chen Kexin turned around, raised an eyebrow, and slightly curled the corners of her mouth.

"What do you mean 'I think so too'?" Lin Guofeng frowned, puzzled.

I recklessly reached out and pinched her cheek, applying a little force, and lo and behold, it didn't rub off any powder?
How could this be? It wasn't like this before.

hiss~
"A beauty-enhancing pill?!"

Lin Guofeng suddenly thought of something, his eyes widened, and he blurted it out.

"bingo!"

Chen Kexin said with a smile, "Is that an exaggeration? When I woke up and saw it, I was shocked. I felt like a stranger to myself, and I thought I was still half asleep."

Lin Guofeng reached out and pinched her cheeks, clicking his tongue in amazement.

Although it was expected that what Chen Jingle brought out would be effective, it was unexpected that it would be this good.

too exaggerated!

My skin looks at least one shade lighter and smoother, almost like when I was in my early twenties.

This is a change that happened overnight!
Who dares to believe it?

Suddenly intrigued, she asked, "Hey, do you think this works for men?"

Chen Kexin glared at him: "Why do you have to be so handsome? Aren't you handsome enough as you are?"

Lin Guofeng chuckled, completely absorbed in his wife's praise, and didn't bring it up again. After all, men can be a little rough around the edges, it doesn't matter.

He hasn't gained weight or gone bald, which already puts him ahead of many of his peers. Besides, he's not ugly to begin with.

I'll just go back to using the skincare products my wife used to discard.

……

Today is Children's Day.

The property management company in the residential community organized Children's Day activities.

There's an elementary school next door, and many parents buy houses in this community specifically for the school places, so there's no shortage of children in the community.

In addition, their neighborhood is one of the larger local communities, and the garden square downstairs is always bustling with activity after school or on holidays.

Today's festival is filled with the joyful laughter and shouts of children.

Although I don't plan to go far today, I still want to take my daughter downstairs in her stroller to get some fresh air.

Among all the children of the same age in the neighborhood, Lin Yuqing is one of the most outstanding. Other parents often envy her and inquire about how her family educates her.

Whether they are actively learning or seemingly indifferent on the surface but secretly working hard behind the scenes, the atmosphere in families with children in the neighborhood is quite lively.

Clearly, everyone is just saying, "Oh, as long as he's safe and healthy, grades don't matter," but in reality, they don't want their children to fall behind others.

As usual, Chen Kexin took Lin Yuqing for a walk down to the neighborhood.

I put my daughter down and watched her play with the other children, keeping a close eye on her, afraid that she might get hurt by them.

Although the community is large, the different circles are still quite distinct.

Calling it a hierarchy of contempt is a bit of an exaggeration. In most cases, people gather together based on their profession, lifestyle, hometown, etc.

If Lin Yuqing is brought down by her grandparents, she will most likely wander into areas where there are many people from her hometown, so that she can communicate in her local dialect, or go to places where there are many old friends from the Electrical Engineering Department, to chat about gossip over tea.

Chen Kexin mainly interacts with mothers in her neighborhood. She can chat with anyone she meets, but she doesn't get too close to them.

The term "stay-at-home mom" itself carries no positive or negative connotation. However, because this group is so large and some individuals have engaged in particularly outrageous behavior that has been amplified online, people generally have a negative first impression of this group.

Chen Kexin only realized after becoming a mother that there is a hierarchy of contempt among mothers.

It's one thing to compare everything, but some people also like to scheme against each other, saying one thing to your face and another behind your back.

Wow, I'm really impressed.

She hates this kind of thing.

With so many cunning schemes and such a knack for scheming, how come you've never managed to become a billionaire?

If it weren't for the fact that her own child would play with other children in the neighborhood, she would absolutely not want to chat with the other mothers in the community. Without Lin Yuqing present, those people would genuinely ignore her and pretend they didn't see her.

It's just magical.

Another reason is that some people, through conversations with her in-laws, learn that her family works within the system, and inevitably try to flatter and fawn over them.

We could have remained ordinary friends, but this whole fuss is pointless. We're not at work; in private, we're just ordinary people.

"Yuqing's mom, are you using some new skincare products? You look so radiant lately!"

A young mother seemed to have discovered a new world and asked in surprise.

It's important to know that once a woman is over 30, she will experience a rapid decline in age, no matter how much she takes care of herself, unless she is naturally beautiful.

Chen Kexin used to be quite well-maintained, but she still gives the impression of being older than she is, which is indeed the case.

But to outsiders today, she looks much younger than usual.

This is very eye-catching.

"Really? Hehe." Chen Kexin answered vaguely, but was somewhat smug inside.

“Really? You can ask other people if you don’t believe me.” The young mother persisted. “Oh, we should all share good things. I feel like I’ve aged so much since having a baby.”

Others turned to look at them curiously, exclaiming in surprise, "Your complexion is really good! Did you take some supplements?"

"Uh, it is quite nourishing."

Chen Kexin chuckled, but did not reveal the existence of the beauty pill.

She wouldn't readily offer advice to people she wasn't particularly close to, especially those with genuine skin problems, to avoid doing something thankless and futile.

Moreover, the price of the beauty pills is not cheap, and most wage earners cannot afford them. They are also afraid that people will say she is taking kickbacks.

God knows what those people are saying behind their backs.

Under persistent questioning from the other mothers, she had no choice but to reveal some of the secrets of her marital life, which earned her a series of ambiguous and envious glances from everyone.

You only realize after marriage that men are one way before marriage and another way after.

Needless to say, after giving birth, even closing a bedroom door is like taking his life.

……

The three-day Dragon Boat Festival holiday has passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Kexin was in a great mood. The first thing she did every morning was to look in the mirror to make sure that her appearance was still the same and hadn't suddenly deteriorated.

This feeling is so wonderful!

Sure enough, on the first day back at work, I immediately attracted the attention of my colleagues.

Everyone was whispering among themselves.

"Hey, don't you think Director Chen is acting any different today?"

"You know what, it's true. She looks much better than usual and younger."

"Right, right, I think so too. I remember Director Chen didn't like wearing makeup?"

"It doesn't look like she's wearing makeup. She hasn't even applied foundation. If she were wearing makeup, it would look so natural!"

"There is a situation!"

"..."

Finally, a colleague couldn't resist asking Chen Kexin about it.

However, Chen Kexin just smiled and didn't reveal much.

She suddenly began to understand Chen Jingle's thoughts.
