Chapter 336
The next day.
Kong Yuzhen got up early in the morning and dressed up. She took out the skirts she had picked out yesterday one by one, tried them on, but was not very satisfied with any of them.
Su Qingci was yawning, her eyes half asleep.
This is really a tough job. She stayed up until midnight yesterday to help her choose the right skirts. She was dragged out of bed early this morning. What did she do to offend anyone?
"Yuyan, do you think my purple one is too old-fashioned?"
"But when I compared it to this orange one, it made my skin look darker!"
Su Qingci pointed at a cyan modified gown on the bed and said, "Why don't you try this one? Put that pearl headband on your hair and add a pair of pearl earrings. It will look fresh and feminine!"
Kong Yuzhen picked up the cyan skirt and looked at it. "But I think the color is a bit pale..."
Su Qingci took the skirt and tried it on her. "How is it lighter? You are as fresh and tender as a green onion, why do you always want to dress maturely? Fresh and cute is your style~"
Kong Yuzhen was stunned. "I, I just think Zhou Mingyue's clothes are very feminine, so..."
Su Qingci was speechless, "Why do you want to learn from her? You two have different styles, ages, and body shapes."
Zhou Mingyue was in her twenties and already a married woman, with a plump figure and sexy charm. On the other hand, Kong Yuzhen was seventeen or eighteen years old and looked like a high school student in later generations. She imitated Zhou Mingyue's dressing style, like a child who had not yet grown up and secretly wore adult clothes.
Kong Yuzhen listened to Su Qingci's words, thought about Zhou Mingyue's turbulent waves, and then looked down at her own. Well, there were barely waves, no waves, and it was certainly not turbulent at all.
“Hey~”
"What the hell did that bitch Zhou Mingyue eat to grow up like this? Comparing yourself to others is really infuriating."
Su Qingci sat down next to Kong Yuzhen. "So, why do you have to compete with her on your weaknesses? You can also show your strengths. Look at your neck, it's thin and long, a true swan neck. But Zhou Mingyue's neck looks short and thick because of her big breasts."
"Also, your calves are very beautiful, slender and round, and you're white. This is a very big advantage of yours. Look, your skin is as white as milk, I envy it."
"Hurry up and wash off that scribble on your face."
Su Qingci pulled Kong Yuzhen in front of the mirror and said, "Look at your face, and then look at your neck."
"Doesn't the skin on your neck look much better than on your face?"
Kong Yuzhen stared at the mirror with wide eyes, "Really? Did I put too much on my face? It looks a bit dirty..."
Su Qingci sighed secretly, "What's the point of putting so much powder on your face?"
"People put on so much just to make their skin tone more even and better looking. Your skin is already fair and tender, is this really necessary?"
"Look, your eyebrows are also very good, but the end is broken. If you just draw the end of your eyebrows and apply a thin layer of lip balm, they will look great!"
Following Su Qingci's suggestion, Kong Yuzhen washed her face again, drew her eyebrows and put on lipstick.
Su Qingci took the pearl headband on the dressing table, helped her gather her hair behind her back, pinned it with the headband, and braided two playful little braids on both sides. She looked youthful and beautiful, with the sweetness and playfulness of a girl.
Finally, a pair of small pearl earrings adds a touch of softness to the whole person.
"Excellent! Come on, take a look at yourself and see how big the difference is from before."
Kong Yuzhen looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes lit up, and then began to spit fire.
"Zhou Mingyue, that bitch!"
Su Qingci has become immune to Kong Yuzhen's constant scolding of Zhou Mingyue.
"I had misled her before. She said that Brother Meng Bai liked feminine girls, so every time I saw Brother Meng Bai, I dressed similarly to her."
Kong Yuzhen thought about the strange looks people often gave her at previous banquets. At the time, she thought she must be stunningly beautiful. Now, she thought, probably...
"Wow, wow, this is so embarrassing. They must be laughing at me behind my back."
Su Qingci's mouth twitched. "You always dressed like that before? With your face painted all over the place? And your mouth painted so hard you could eat a child?"
Kong Yuzhen nodded with a sad look on her face.
Su Qingci's eyes flashed with suspicion, "Didn't your brother say anything?"
Kong Yuzhen shook her head. "My brother loves me. He always says good things about me. Even when I'm covered in mud, he still says I look the best."
Su Qingci didn't say anything. No matter how much she loved her sister, she would at least remind her in that kind of situation. She didn't believe that Kong Liulian lacked the most basic sense of aesthetic taste.
Considering what Kong Yuzhen said before, such as "My brother doesn't let me get close to Brother Meng Bai", Kong Liu's attitude seemed like he was deliberately trying to make Kong Yuzhen look ugly.
If this is true, then his actions last night must have a deeper meaning.
During dinner last night, Kong Liu said that he would recognize Su Qingci as his sister, and also gave her a complete set of dresses, shoes, headwear, earrings, bracelets, etc., asking her to dress up well and go with everyone today, and he would introduce her to some friends then.
He will also announce to the public that Su Qingci is his cousin, and from now on Jiang Yuyan will be the cousin of the Kong family.
Downstairs, Abu, who was helping Kong Liu adjust his tie, was also asking the same question.
"Sixth Master, do you really want to take Jiang Yuyan with you? She's from the countryside and has never seen the world. In that kind of situation..."
Kong Liu put on the vest that Abu handed him and said, "Because I haven't seen the world, I need to see more."
"You don't really think that I brought her back to Shanghai out of gratitude for saving Yuzhen, do you?"
Abu was puzzled, "Sixth Master has other plans for her?"
Kong Liu lowered his head to button up his vest and said to Abu, "What do you think of Jiang Yuyan's face?"
Abu suddenly realized, then asked worriedly, "But Master Liu, will she agree?"
"Is it up to her to agree or not? What if she doesn't agree? She is an orphan from another place with no relatives or friends in Shanghai. Without me, where can she go after leaving the Kong family? Without a letter of introduction, she can't even leave Shanghai."
"Besides, if she comes from a small place like Xiangnan, by the time she's used to the wealth and luxury of Shanghai, she might even approach us without us even asking."
"I'm not a good person. Do I really treat her like a daughter of the Kong family? There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world!"
"With her face in the front, Yuzhen won't be so conspicuous anymore!"
"In order to check and balance each other, the Zhou and Lan families have already gone bankrupt. Yuzhen is still young now. What if it's two years later?"
"I was worried about this before, but now with Jiang Yuyan's move, I can kill two birds with one stone!"
