While Lu Shen was busy preparing for the birthday party, he asked Ran Jie, "Who is the most famous makeup artist in the entertainment industry?"
"Bai Shaofan, why are you asking him?" Ran Jie asked, completely confused.
Although Lu Shen acquired Hua Rui, a makeup artist shouldn't warrant such a fuss from the president of Lu's Group.
Lu Shen explained to him, "Jian Ruoxi's birthday party is in a few days. I want her to appear at her most beautiful. Is it possible to contact Bai Shaofan?"
"That's not necessarily true. Bai Shaofan has a strange temper, and people in the industry are quite afraid of him," Ran Jie said, shrugging.
After graduating from elementary school, Bai Shaofan didn't attend junior high school and instead drifted through life, working in a car repair shop for two years.
After being humiliated by someone driving a BMW, he went on to learn makeup, and has been studying it for over ten years, finding enjoyment in the industry.
From an unknown makeup artist to a leader in the industry, his journey has been far from easy, and the hardships he has endured are unknown to most, which has shaped his peculiar personality.
Lu Shen asked Ran Jie, "How can we contact him?"
"I have his WeChat; I can try to contact him for you," Ran Jie agreed.
With his birthday party fast approaching, Bai Shaofan hadn't replied to the message yet.
Jian Ruoxi wanted to persuade Lu Shen: "I can do my own makeup, there's no need to ask him. We've worked together before, and I know his thought process is different from most people."
Lu Shen then gave up, but the next second, Ran Jie received a call from Bai Shaofan, who said, "You can answer."
Then I hung up the phone.
Ran Jie was left standing there, bewildered in the wind. "Brother Lu, the makeup artist agreed."
Therefore, on the day the birthday banquet officially began, Jian Ruoxi changed into a gorgeous dress and wore stunning makeup, then slowly pushed open the door from upstairs.
All the light shone around Jian Ruoxi, and the back of her head was enveloped in a warm, cool light. In an instant, Jian Ruoxi seemed like a fairy descending to earth, outshining everyone else.
Even Hu Xuezhi, who had dressed up carefully, paled in comparison.
Hu Xuezhi never expected that she would borrow an evening gown from a top luxury brand and find a top makeup artist to do her makeup.
But all of that was ineffective in front of Jian Ruoxi's face; everyone's attention was drawn to her.
Wow, it's so beautiful.
"I think I saw a fairy goddess."
"I have never seen such a beautiful person since I was born."
Everyone around Jian Ruoxi was praising her, but Hu Xuezhi looked disdainful and secretly thought to herself: What's there to be angry about? Give me your styling team, and I can be just as beautiful.
Grandma Lu was quite satisfied with her appearance; after all, there were very few people in the whole country with such a top-notch appearance.
However, he was still very bothered by Jian Ruoxi's background. After all, the Lu family was a famous wealthy family, while Jian Ruoxi's family was just an ordinary family. The main problem was that her family had a bad family tradition.
So when Jian Ruoxi offered tea to Grandma Lu, she said, "Grandma, I wish you a long and healthy life."
Grandma Lu responded indifferently, "Yes, happy birthday to you too!"
After finishing his speech, he didn't offer Jian Ruoxi any further blessings.
Lu Shen took Jian Ruoxi's hand, walked to the front of everyone, knelt on one knee, and opened the gift box in his hand.
The gift box contained a dazzling gemstone ring.
Lu Shen personally put the gemstone ring on Jian Ruoxi's hand, "Thank you very much for your support and respect during this time. I apologize for misunderstanding you before."
Jian Ruoxi covered her face.
Lu Shen pulled Jian Ruoxi into his arms and announced to everyone, "This precious stone was specially dug up in South Africa by someone I had specially arranged."
"When I first learned that we had found gems, I was overjoyed because such minerals are very valuable. But a face came to mind. I felt that only Jian Ruoxi deserved such a gem mine, so the ownership of this mine will be transferred to Jian Ruoxi."
The crowd applauded, some with delight, others with envy.
Lu Jin also presented Jian Ruoxi with his own small gift, "This van is a gift from me to Sister Jian. As our family grows larger, this van will be just the right size."
Jian Ruoxi gratefully accepted the car keys that Lu Jin handed her.
Actor Su Ziyu also arrived and thanked Lu Shen, saying, "If you hadn't saved me before, I might have been a victim of your blade long ago."
Lu Shen said, "It was just a small favor, and Jian Ruoxi had been busy with your affairs during that time, so I couldn't bear to see her working so hard."
During the conversation, Lu Shen made his position clear: he was going to save Su Ziyu for Jian Ruoxi's sake, and Jian Ruoxi was now on his side, signaling Su Ziyu to stop having any ulterior motives.
But to Jian Ruoxi's utter surprise, among all these people, her father actually showed up.
In the vast crowd, Jian Ruoxi immediately spotted Jian Feng's face.
Jian Feng's face was beaming with joy.
I was stopped by security guards just now at the entrance of the Lu family's old home.
Jian Feng said proudly, "Jian Ruoxi is my daughter. If you dare to stop me, I'll have her fire you right away."
The security guards had no choice but to let them pass. After entering the Lu family's old residence, Jian Feng and his group proceeded unimpeded and followed the crowd into the banquet hall.
Jian Feng was followed by his wife and daughter, Wang Juyue.
The idea came from Jian Feng's wife. She thought that such a banquet would attract countless rich second-generation heirs, with a minimum investment of tens of millions.
Jian Feng saw someone next to him holding a champagne bottle, swirling it in their hand, and then savoring it.
He then pretended to call over a waiter: "Waiter, give me a drink too."
Although his voice wasn't loud, it sounded particularly jarring in the banquet hall, especially his slightly accented tone and the awkward vocabulary he used to teach the waiters.
Some people's attention was drawn to Jian Feng, but he didn't notice.
He picked up the champagne from the plate, mimicked the action of the boy before, and then tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
This crude behavior immediately drew ridicule from those around them.
Unexpectedly, Jian Feng was both self-conscious and arrogant. He felt his self-esteem had been insulted and yelled at the other person, "What are you laughing at?"
Wang Juyue was not by Jian Feng's side at this time; she had gone off to flirt with a rich second-generation.
At first, the rich second-generation responded politely, "This young lady is very beautiful."
Wang Juyue took this as genuine praise: "That's only natural."
However, the next second she pretended to fall and deliberately spilled the red wine in her hand onto the rich second-generation's white shirt. The other party saw through Wang Juyue's clumsy trick at a glance.
"Miss, this dress of mine costs 100,000 yuan. You can't just sell it to me like that."
Wang Juyue retorted, "Jian Ruoxi is my sister. Your dress is only worth a few dollars, so I'll just compensate you."
The family of three engaged in inappropriate behavior at the banquet, creating numerous comical situations.
She also caught the attention of Old Mrs. Lu, who felt even more strongly that Jian Ruoxi's background was not good.
