She pushed the person in front of the makeup mirror and began to use her skills on her face. Although her makeup skills were a bit clumsy, the person in her hands was beautiful.
Two hours later, with her less-than-stellar skills, she had dressed the person up to look like a sweet and spicy fairy.
She was very satisfied with her masterpiece. She refused to believe that this beautiful, icy little darling wouldn't bewitch those men.
At eight o'clock in the evening, as the city lights began to twinkle, Wan Qianqian led the beauty to a luxury hotel.
Tonight is the 70th birthday of the Fu family patriarch. Many prominent figures in Shengjing will come to offer their congratulations, including heirs and troublemakers from various prominent families.
She didn't want to come and mingle with these hypocritical people, but for Su Yuxi's happiness, she reluctantly came to see them.
As soon as their car pulled up in front of the hotel, a well-trained doorman immediately came forward to open the door for them.
Wan Qianqian caught a glimpse of the doorman's momentary daze upon seeing Su Yuxi, and felt very satisfied. This was the work she had been working on for two hours; how could it not mesmerize him?
"Walk."
The two sisters, hand in hand, entered the hotel with light steps.
The banquet hall was already packed with guests. Everywhere you looked, there was a bustling atmosphere. Everyone was smiling and clinking glasses. Whenever a new guest entered, it would cause a small commotion, as everyone wanted to see which important person had arrived.
Seeing that it was Wan's daughter and Lu's fiancée, they couldn't help but feel disappointed. These two were of no use to them, and no one wanted to talk to them.
Besides, Wan Jia's daughter has a bad temper. If you go up to her for no reason, she'll scold you even if you haven't done anything wrong.
As for Su Yuxi, she was just Lu Yunzhou's fiancée; without that relationship, she was nothing.
So everyone just nodded from a distance as a greeting.
The men present glanced at Lu's fiancée a few more times; although she didn't have any powerful connections, she was undeniably beautiful.
that is...
Wan Qianqian held her head high and looked around at everyone. Noticing that their gazes were a bit strange, she slowed down. A doubt crossed her mind. At first, everyone looked at Xi Xi with amazement, so why did their eyes suddenly turn to astonishment, pity, and even a bit of mockery?
She frowned in displeasure, pretending not to care, and walked on, but everyone looked at them with the same expression.
Something must be wrong.
She was about to pull someone out to ask what was going on, but before she could even ask, she saw a man and a woman holding hands in the center of the crowd, walking alongside a promising young man.
The man was dressed in a well-tailored suit, his posture was as upright as a pine tree, his expression was arrogant, and there was a faint smile on his lips. Every pore on his body revealed his extraordinary status.
The woman he was holding had put on heavy makeup to cover her pale face. She wore a dazzling red dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her steps, like a blooming, delicate rose. Although she wasn't breathtakingly beautiful, she was still quite noticeable in a crowd.
Especially when she looks at the man beside her, her eyes always sparkle with starlight, and her smile is sincere and extremely infectious.
This strikingly good-looking couple looked perfectly matched standing together, as if they were meant to be together.
The crowd surrounding them, though all wearing smiles, seemed to lack genuine joy in their eyes; instead, a sense of bewilderment and confusion lingered.
Everyone knows a little about Lu Yunzhou's affairs. It's not a big deal for a man to keep several women outside the marriage; it would be strange if he didn't.
But bringing someone to such a grand birthday party seemed a bit excessive, and no one had heard about his breakup with his fiancée.
And isn't this his ex-girlfriend?
Lu Yunzhou's love for Su Yuxi was as fiery as a raging fire. He didn't want to be bound by his family or suppressed by his elders. In order to rebel against his family's arrangements, he resolutely got engaged to Su Yuxi and even gave up his chance to become the head of the Lu family.
It caused quite a stir back then, all so that he could be with Su Yuxi.
Everyone thought that a pure and true love had finally emerged in the circle of the wealthy, but it couldn't last even half a year.
Looking back now, the scene is quite ironic.
Lu Yunzhou seemed oblivious to the strange looks around them. They held hands tightly, their eyes met, completely immersed in their own world, enjoying this rare moment of bliss.
When Wan Qianqian saw this shameless couple, she realized what everyone's gaze meant: it was mockery, ridicule, and spectatorship.
Not many people knew about Jiang Shiqian's return to China, so the two caused quite a stir when they first arrived. Due to their identities, no one dared to ask questions openly; those who understood, understood.
She thought Su Yuxi wouldn't know or come, but now that she's here, she sees her fiancé holding hands with another woman, laughing and chatting with her.
Some elders don't care about these things, but it's different for the younger generation. They're already incredibly bored by being forced to come to these banquets by their parents, so they might as well watch the excitement.
Everyone cast invisible beams of light at Lu Yunzhou and his partner. At first, the two didn't notice, but as the gazes became more numerous and obvious, even the most oblivious person could sense the unusual atmosphere around them.
He could no longer avoid it, and looked up to follow the gaze of others, suddenly seeing the angry Wan Qianqian and the calm and composed Su Yuxi.
In an instant, the entire banquet hall fell into an eerie silence.
Lu Yunzhou's mind went blank for a moment. He quickly released Jiang Shiqian's hand as if he had been electrocuted. Her body was already weak, and he threw her too hard, causing her to fall to the ground.
A faint cracking sound, like the sound of bones being dislocated, was heard by everyone who was focused on watching the show.
Even more shocking was that the stunningly beautiful woman, who had been radiant just moments before, had her glamorous wavy hair fall to the ground after the fall, revealing her bald head, a result of chemotherapy.
Upon seeing this, gasps of surprise erupted from the crowd. Several children, seeing a bald adult for the first time, exclaimed curiously: "Bald! Bald! Is she a nun? Why is she bald?"
Various speculations and ridicule were heard incessantly. At first, Jiang Shiqian did not know what they were talking about or what they were laughing at. When she fell down, she only felt a buzzing in her ears and could not hear any sound.
When she discovered her wig had fallen to the ground, her pupils constricted sharply, her body stiffened, and a piercing scream filled everyone's ears.
This has also attracted more attention.
Lu Yunzhou was forcibly brought back to his senses, and his steps, which were about to run over, came to an abrupt halt. When he turned around, he saw Jiang Shiqian lying on the ground, her face pale and unable to move.
She covered her head in a disheveled state, tears streaming down her face, looking just like a helpless, panicked, and pitiful little animal.
