"Hiss..." The consequence of a hangover is waking up with a splitting headache.

Lin Yang rubbed her temples with one hand and tapped her head with her other hand, which was loosely clenched into a fist.

She opened her mouth slightly, about to yawn, when the person in front of her spoke, startling her so much that she swallowed her yawn back down.

"Miss, are you satisfied with this makeup?" It was the voice of an unfamiliar, mature woman.

The eyelids, which had struggled to open several times, suddenly sprang open, and the eyes widened, revealing a familiar yet unfamiliar face.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Lin Yang realized that the familiar yet unfamiliar face was indeed her own.

The woman in front of Lin Yang was half-squatting, holding up a folding makeup mirror in front of her.

The person in the mirror had a sophisticated yet glamorous makeup look, a traditional bridal look.

Her hair was neatly tied up, neither too tight nor too loose, and adorned with a limited-edition accessory recently released by a famous designer.

Lin Yang wore a delicate silver necklace around her long neck, revealing her exquisite collarbone. Looking further down, she was wearing the same bridal gown she had tried on last time.

Lin Yang vaguely seemed to see that there were indeed several layers of padding there...

"Who...who let you into my room?!" Lin Yang slapped open the mirror and saw the person who had been holding it up for her.

It's precisely because of the long waiting list that you have to book an appointment with an IRE makeup artist for at least two years.

Everyone in the fashion industry knows her.

Looking around again, she realized that she wasn't alone in the room; there were also about a dozen busy assistants.

"It's your elderly mother, me!" The closed door was pushed open at this moment, and Ms. Song appeared in Lin Yang's room along with several security guards.

"Mom..." Lin Yang forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"Do you have any other objections?" Ms. Song glanced at Lin Yang.

As soon as she finished speaking, the black-clad security guard behind Ms. Song revealed a rope in his hand.

Lin Yang swallowed hard; how could she dare to have any objections?

"Mom, what... what do you mean?" Lin Yang couldn't help but back away.

"Keep your promise, didn't I? I'll tie you up and take you to the Xu family. So, Yangyang, you'd better not try to run away." Mrs. Song approached Lin Yang, stroking her delicate face. "The rise and fall of our Lin family depends on you! My good daughter!"

Haha, is it too late to call the police and have your own mother arrested?

"Mom, I have a question for you." Lin Yang's smile faded, and her face turned serious.

"Go ahead and ask." Ms. Song used her fingertips to wipe away the excess loose powder particles from Lin Yang's cheeks.

"Am I really your biological child? Are you sure you didn't pick me up from a trash can?"

"What do you think?" Ms. Song withdrew her hand from Lin Yang's cheek and rolled her eyes at her.

Fine, she knows now. Only a biological child can be so ruthless!

"Yangyang, now that you're marrying into the Xu family, you'll have to settle down and focus on your entertainment career. The Xu family, like our Lin family, has a small number of members, so you need to work hard to carry on the family line. They don't discriminate against girls; both boys and girls can inherit the family business, so you need to be fertile and give me my grandson soon, understand?" Lin Yang's makeup was finished. Ms. Song dismissed the idlers gathered in the room, leaving only her and the security guards, and spoke at length to Lin Yang with heartfelt words.

"Mom!" Lin Yang called out softly, glancing at the security guards who had turned their backs to her. "You know I don't want to get married! And I certainly won't let the Xu family carry on any of their family line!"

"Silly child, you're being willful and talking nonsense again." Mrs. Song, her usual sternness gone, looked at her daughter with eyes full of tenderness. "You definitely have to get married. Even if it's not to carry on the Xu family line, you'll at least fulfill my wish to be a grandmother, okay? Be good~"
