Chapter 428: 428, Massacre Begins
After being Chu’s secretary for five years, her greatest achievement was a strong immune system. A single drink would never get her sick.
Su Wenwen proposed, “Miss Shi, you should change your clothes with me. If your boss sees you like this, he might lose his temper and start blaming me for not taking care of you.”
“Yes, you’re our guest tonight. Grandpa told me to take good care of our guests,” Mo Weiyi added.
Shi Huan felt a headache coming on, “There’s really no need.”
Why were these young girls so enthusiastic?
She wasn’t that fussy…
“No, come and follow me. I brought several sets of dresses. You should be able to wear this black one.” After speaking, Mo Weiyi directly took her hand and headed towards the dressing room.
The young girl’s hand was soft and warm.
Shi Huan, whose hands and feet are usually cold, was taken aback by the warmth and followed closely behind.
She was led down a long corridor and finally pushed through a doorway.
After turning on the light and closing the door, Shi Huan finally came back to her senses.
“Miss Shi, how tall are you?” Mo Weiyi walked to the clothes rack and quickly picked out a long black dress. “I’m 1.7m, you should be able to wear this. If not, we can just pair it with some high heels.”
“I think Miss Shi is about 1.65m,” Su Wanwan quickly estimated.
Mo Weiyi handed the dress to Shi Huan, “Hurry up and go try it. This style is quite conservative, I’m sure it suits you.”
Shi Huan tugged at the corner of her lips.
She could only nod, “Okay then.”
An outright refusal at this point would truly seem too fussy.
“There’s a hairdryer inside,” Mo Weiyi pointed out.
“Okay.”
Shi Huan took the dress into the room and undressed. She discovered her underwear had been soaked through by the spilt drink.
The fabric was cotton and quite thick, so it hadn’t become completely soaked through.
She used tissues to absorb the excess moisture and then dried them with the hairdryer. When she put on the black dress Mo Weiyi gave her, she discovered…
The style was indeed conservative. A sleeveless V-neck design, but the V-neck was a little too big for her. It exposed a lot of skin.
Although the underwear beneath was hidden, at first glance, it was indeed eyecatching.
But there was nothing she could do about it now.
Shi Huan let out her breath, adjusted the dress and walked out the door.
When she was out, Su Wenwen was gone, replaced by another woman.
Just as Shi Huan was surprised…
“It fits quite nicely!” Mo Weiyi immediately walked over and said with a beaming smile, “I’ve called Lili over, she’ll do a little bit of makeup for you.”
“No need!” Shi Huan blurted out.
“How can it not be? If we’re helping, we should do it thoroughly.”
Mo Weiyi’s voice was soft but held a hint of dominance, she grasped Shi Huan’s hands and got her to sit in front of the mirror. “Lili has always been my exclusive stylist, she is very quick. It’ll only take 10 minutes, a guaranteed transformation into a beauty.”
“But…”
What beauty… I don’t want to become one!
Shi Huan had no time to protest, and Lili already started styling her hair in a simple bun.
She then applied some hair spray to her loose hair for a quick set.
Her actions were swift and skillful.
Next, Lili took off Shi Huan’s glasses.
Shi Huan immediately shut her eyes.
Before she could react, she was bombarded with various makeup products.
Shi Huan let out a sigh of resignation from the bottom of her heart.
Mo Weiyi’s voice echoed in her ear, “Make sure not to apply too heavily.”
“Okay.”
10 minutes later.
“We’re done.” Lili finally finished.
Just as Mo Weiyi had promised, it took exactly, to the minute, 10 minutes.
Before Shi Huan could comment on her appearance, she felt something cool on her neck.
Mo Weiyi had hung a pearl necklace around her. “This makes you even more beautiful.”
“Miss Mo, this is too precious,” Shi Huan tried to remove it but Mo Weiyi stopped her.
“How can a woman wear a dress without jewelry? Don’t take it off!” Mo Weiyi’s tone was charming but resolutely firm.
Shi Huan never had any interaction with Mo Weiyi before, but she knew that Mo Weiyi and Chu Xiuhuang almost got married two years ago.
Chu Xiuhuang was the eldest son of the Chu family, and Mo Weiyi was the only Little Princess of the Mo family. The male was handsome, the female was beautiful; had they indeed become husband and wife back then, the union of the aristocratic and nouveau riche would have been a nice topic in Nancheng.
Who knew that Mo Weiyi suddenly called off the wedding. She quickly married the adopted son of the Mo family, Xiao Yebai. From then on, Chu Xiuhuang, as if stimulated, suddenly began to live his life recklessly.
As an observer from the beginning to the end of this whole affair, she didn’t understand initially: why would love have such a huge impact on a man? To the point where a playboy like Masters Chu is even devastated like this?
Now she understands, it wasn’t without reason.
Mo Weiyi was really impressive.
She was born into a prominent family, but completely lacked the arrogance of those so-called wealthy ladies.
On the contrary, she was beautiful yet naive, lovely but unpretentious, somewhat headstrong, but not in a way that repels people.
A young and beautiful Mo Weiyi like this, no wonder why Chu Xiuhuang cannot forget her…
“Miss Shi, you’re so beautiful, why do you want to dress down?” Mo Weiyi couldn’t understand.
She had seen too many women who weren’t beautiful, frantically torturing themselves to look beautiful, even resorting to plastic surgery.
But for the first time, she saw someone like Shi Huan who was very beautiful yet deliberately sought to make herself unattractive.
Could it be… to disguise herself?
Mo Weiyi instantly thought of her own husband, Xiao Yebai.
He also did not have any eyesight problems, but liked to wear glasses. He said it was because he didn’t want his subordinates to be scared when they looked at him. The glasses made him appear more refined and friendly.
However, the glasses he wore were not like those extra-large black-framed glasses of Shi Huan’s. Those only made her look worse.
On the contrary, Xiaobai with his non-prescription glasses gave off a vibe of degraded scholar, which made him infuriatingly handsome!
“Miss Shi, trust me, you’re really beautiful. From now on, don’t put yourself down like this, okay?” Mo Weiyi said again.
Shi Huan looked at herself in the mirror.
“Shi Huan, you’re really beautiful.” Suddenly, she remembered this sentence.
Once upon a time, someone had said this to her too.
She didn’t even know how long it had been since she saw her true appearance.
It felt like such a long time ago.
**
At this time, the luxurious banquet hall was filled with beautiful women, and was filled with laughter and chatter.
Watching Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan showing their affection to each other, and even Gu Huai’an being accompanied by a beautiful woman. Chu Xiuhuang’s expression was sour, and his tone was impatient, “Where is my secretary?”
Su Wanwan quickly replied, “She went to change her clothes.”
“Changing clothes?” Chu Xiuhuang’s expression turned even worse.
He had already finished smoking a cigarette and returned, but why was she still changing?
Does it take that long to change a dress?
“Yes, her dress was stained with wine just now and dirtied,” she explained.
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiuhuang’s expression turned black, “She was dirtied? Is she a pig?”
Goddamn!
He had meticulously prepared a beautiful dress for her, and finally convinced her to change into it. But before he even got to see her in it, it was ruined by the wine?
Chu Xiuhuang’s tone turned dark, “Which idiot spilled the wine?”
Su Wanwan’s heart lurched, thinking that he was truly upset, “Don’t know, I heard Miss Shi calling her Miss Luo.”
“Miss Luo?” Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes, a plan forming in his mind.
Everyone attending today were eminent figures of Nancheng. Of course, there were also many with average abilities but with other intentions trying to blend in, trying to meet more influential people by taking advantage of this occasion.
“Mr. Gu, the Luo family’s company seems to have a collaboration with your company?” Chu Xiuhuang asked directly.
Gu Huai’an replied nonchalantly, “What, planning to wage a war for your secretary?”
Chu Xiuhuang laughed out, “What are you saying? Today is Mo Family’s anniversary, we are at their venue, such talk about killing, can’t you be more civilized, Old Gu?”
Gu Huai’an put down his wine glass, his demeanor leisurely and sophisticated, “So how do you plan to be civilized?”
Chu Xiuhuang continued his laughter, “Just wait and see.”
Gu Huai’an clicked his tongue, “I’ll go out for some fresh air.”
Deng Anya, who was by his side, gave everyone a slight smile, then followed him out.
Looking at the two with their perfect appearances, Su Wanwan couldn’t help but ask, “Are they actually getting married?”
A while ago the rumors about them were in full swing. I thought it was just a publicity stunt, didn’t expect Gu Huai’an to actually bring Deng Anya to attend the anniversary.”
As expected of an A-list star, Deng Anya was very charming. Her exquisite and extravagant dress made her more dazzling. It was just that… her temperament did not quite match with Gu Huai’an’s.
