Soon, Gao Man, Mansha's chief stylist, arrived with several assistants and began applying makeup and styling for Ji Fuling and Ji Xinqi.

Thirty minutes later.

Ji Fuling stood in front of the full-length mirror, looking at herself in the mirror, and couldn't help but be amazed by her own beauty, secretly sighing in her heart—

Gao Man truly lives up to her reputation as an internationally renowned stylist!

Although she usually wears light makeup, that understated elegance is completely different from how she looks now.

Gao Man gave her a slightly tipsy red wine makeup look, with a hazy and dreamy feel, pure yet charming, sexy but not glamorous, highlighting her already beautiful features even more.

At the same time, Gao Man chose a red, fitted, ankle-length dress for her.

The well-tailored design accentuated her shapely figure and made her snow-white skin appear even whiter.

In short, this long dress seemed to have been tailor-made for Ji Fuling.

The moment she slowly walked out of the dressing room, Gao Man's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed sincerely, "So beautiful! My judgment was right, Miss Ji, I knew this dress would suit you perfectly!"

Ji Fuling smiled sweetly, "Thank you, it's all thanks to your skillful hands."

"What are you thanking me for?" Gao Man waved her hand. "This is all thanks to you."

"To be honest, I just love styling beauties like you; it doesn't take any effort at all."

As soon as Gao Man finished speaking, several assistants beside her chimed in agreement.

"Yes, yes, Miss Ji is beautiful and has a great figure. She looks good even without makeup. Makeup is just the icing on the cake."

"If you ask me, if Miss Ji's looks were to enter the entertainment industry, she would definitely be a force to be reckoned with!"

"Sigh~ This world is so unfair. Why can't I have the looks of Miss Ji Er?"

"..."

When Ji Xinqi came out after changing her clothes, she saw a group of people surrounding Ji Fuling and praising her highly.

Then look at Ji Fuling's exquisite makeup, her fiery red dress is both ethereal and alluring, and her beauty is otherworldly.

Looking at her own styling, which was still so ordinary and lacked any wow factor, Ji Xinqi couldn't suppress her burning jealousy.

She stormed over, lifting her skirt, and glared at Ji Fuling with resentment before questioning Gao Man with dissatisfaction.

"You surnamed Gao! You did this on purpose, didn't you?! We're both your customers, so why did you give Ji Fuling such a beautiful makeover, but made me look so plain?!"

"Tsk tsk... Miss Ji Xinqi, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. At 'Mansha,' we treat all customers equally."

Gao Man crossed her arms and said slowly, "Besides, your makeup took more than ten minutes longer than the Second Miss's. To put it bluntly, everyone's natural features are different, and you've already reached the limit of your looks."

"If you are really not satisfied, you can hire someone else, or you can do it yourself."

As Gao Man spoke, Ji Xinqi's expression grew increasingly grim.

That damned bitch is clearly saying that she's not as pretty as Ji Fuling, and that no matter how much makeup she puts on, she can't look like Ji Fuling!

But Gao Man is an internationally recognized makeup artist, and no matter who else you ask, they absolutely cannot create a better makeup look than her...

With that in mind, Ji Xinqi could only suppress her anger and stop talking about makeup, turning her attention to the two women's dresses.

She tugged at her apricot-colored strapless dress, gritting her teeth and angrily saying, "Then what about this dress? Why did you pick such a beautiful one for Ji Fuling, but this kind of common, everyday style that anyone could wear?!"

"I want to change my skirt!"

Ji Xinqi pointed to Ji Fuling, who was wearing a stunning red dress, and said domineeringly, "I want to wear hers!"

"Miss Ji Xinqi, please don't be unreasonable."

A hint of impatience flickered across Gao Man's face. "As a qualified stylist, I make my own professional and rigorous judgments when selecting clothes for clients, and the final result will definitely be the most suitable and best..."

What do you mean by that?

Feeling that Gao Man was subtly belittling her again, Ji Xinqi angrily interrupted her.

Gao Man raised an eyebrow slightly. "Simply put, this red dress doesn't suit you, Second Miss."

"What do you mean by suitable or unsuitable? Stop trying to fool me. If Ji Fuling can pull off this look, so can I."

Ji Xinqi snorted, "I don't care, I want to wear that one!"

Seeing her being unreasonable, Gao Man was too lazy to reason with her anymore and relented, saying, "Fine, since you insist, then so be it. Anyway, it's your own style, so whatever you like is fine."

"Jingjing, get her a red dress just like Miss Ji's and take her to change."

Upon hearing Gao Man's instructions, the assistant named Jingjing nodded and said, "Okay, Miss Ji Xinqi, please come with me."

Ji Xinqi felt that if she changed into a red dress, she would definitely achieve a stunning effect.

As she turned to go to the changing room, she gave Ji Fuling a defiant sidelong glance before haughtily walking away with her chin held high.

"Second Miss, your cousin is completely different from you," Gao Man couldn't help but remark.

Ji Xinqi's looks and figure are clearly inferior to Ji Fuling's, yet she has no self-awareness and insists on comparing herself to her.

This is just asking for trouble!

Ji Fuling smiled slightly, her red lips curving upwards, but she remained silent.

A moment later, Ji Xinqi, now dressed in a red dress, walked out with satisfaction.

But as soon as she stood next to Ji Fuling and saw their reflections in the wall mirror, her expression changed instantly. She immediately turned her head and glared at her assistant, Jingjing.

"Did you deliberately give me the wrong size? How come Ji Fuling's clothes fit her perfectly, but mine are loose at the top and cramped at the bottom?!"

More importantly, she looked great in the changing room, but when she stood next to Ji Fuling, Ji Fuling's red outfit looked bright and alluring, while hers looked tacky and vulgar, lacking any elegance!

Seeing that Ji Xinqi was acting like a shrew, Jingjing didn't dare to argue with her and could only look to Gao Man for help.

Gao Man shrugged and slowly said, "I told you long ago, this style just doesn't suit you."

The other assistants watched this scene and began to whisper among themselves.

"No wonder they say it's not scary to wear the same clothes as someone else, it's embarrassing for the one who looks worse. Now I truly understand what that means!"

"If Ji Xinqi dares to wear this outfit and attend the banquet with Miss Ji the Second, then she really has commendable courage!"

"If it were me, I would definitely switch back to the original outfit, at least the contrast wouldn't be so obvious."

"..."

Hearing these comments, Ji Xinqi's expression turned even uglier.

She gritted her teeth, forcing herself to maintain her composure, and sneered, "Hmph! This red dress is nothing special, gaudy and old-fashioned. It's only good-looking at first glance. It's really not suitable for someone with my refined temperament."

After saying that, Ji Xinqi swayed her waist and stomped her feet as she ran back to the changing room, where she changed back into that apricot-colored strapless dress that was "common and anyone could wear".

Gao Man, Jingjing, and the others couldn't help but burst out laughing when they saw this.

With a mocking smile on her red lips, Ji Fuling greeted Gao Man and left for the banquet.
