Ultimately, they proved that it was indeed possible to whiten one's skin.
The next day, when Lu Wanwan got up, she saw that her face had become noticeably paler, and she was overjoyed.
She declared that from now on, she would be her sister-in-law's most loyal follower!
She has been troubled by her skin color since she was a child, and was often called "Black Girl" by her mischievous friends.
Now that I have this face mask, my mom no longer has to worry about me getting darker.
Their achievement successfully attracted the attention of the women in their family.
In the evening, Xia Huiying and her mother-in-law also joined in applying face masks.
It was Xia Huiying's first time applying a face mask. She touched her cheek with some curiosity, and her finger accidentally rubbed against the mask. Although it was dark in color, it had a strange fragrance that made her feel neither angry nor disgusted.
"Yueyue, what is this made of?"
The old man changed his address for Gu Mingyue from Mingyue to Yueyue, showing greater affection.
"It uses some very common ingredients. This is a secret recipe given to me by a friend I've known for a long time."
Gu Mingyue was extremely adept at creating something out of nothing.
After all, it's not fair to say that the most important of these materials is the spiritual spring water, while the other materials only have about 30% of the effect.
The women in my family really love this face mask; its effects are obvious, and even other people in the compound have noticed that they've become fairer.
Curious people came to ask what secret recipe they used.
Zhong Yuxiu just laughed it off and said, "There's no secret recipe. Going to bed early and getting up early is good for your health. Eat more meals regularly, and when you get enough nutrition, you'll feel more energetic."
Everyone agreed that what she said made sense. In the past, people couldn't get enough to eat, and they were all pale, thin, and emaciated.
As life got better and better, my weight increased rapidly, and my mental state also changed a lot.
That day, Lu Limin called his grandson to his study.
"Grandpa, what do you need me for?"
Lu Lin was somewhat puzzled.
"Your grandma and I are discussing inviting our relatives over for a visit and introducing Mingyue to them."
"In what capacity? As a granddaughter-in-law?"
Lu Limin raised an eyebrow. "Of course it's your granddaughter-in-law. Do you intend to abandon her?"
Why did we suddenly start talking about abandoning each other?
Lu Lin felt wronged; he hadn't said anything.
"Grandpa, didn't I say this isn't urgent? Wouldn't it be awkward if Gu Mingyue and I weren't together in the future?"
Lu Lin had his own considerations.
Perhaps Gu Mingyue is just acting on impulse and wants to be with him.
If time passes and they meet someone better, they might change their minds again.
If she were to stand before everyone as the granddaughter-in-law of the Lu family, their lives would be intertwined, and it would be too late for regrets later.
It would have been better to clarify things to everyone from the beginning by simply stating that he was a friend of the Lu family.
"You're so stubborn. Mingyue, a young lady, lowered her pride and said she wanted to be with you. That's such a brave thing to do. You not only don't appreciate it, but you're also unwilling."
Lu Limin wished he could use his cane to pry open his head and see what he was thinking.
"When Xiaoze comes another day, let him take you to learn more."
Lu Ze is a well-known playboy among the younger generation in the family. He is usually irresponsible and Lu Limin has never looked down on this grandson. But today, he surprisingly agreed with him.
Lu Lin usually seems quite smart, but when it comes to matters of the heart, his mind goes completely blank.
He's an old man, and he still has to worry about us.
"grandfather......"
Lu Lin was about to say something when Lu Limin interrupted him.
"It's settled then. If you don't want to upset your father and grandmother, you'd better agree obediently."
Lu Lin had a headache. Why couldn't anyone wait for him to finish speaking?
The day for the dinner party arrived quickly.
Early in the morning, Lu Wanwan pulled Gu Mingyue along to prepare clothes for meeting guests.
The Lu family has a population that is neither too large nor too small.
Lu Qinming is Lu Limin's only son; the elderly couple only have this one child.
However, Lu Limin has five or six brothers and sisters, and several children, making his family more prosperous than theirs.
Xia Huiying often regrets that if she had known she should have had two more children, her family wouldn't be so small now.
Lu Dimin strongly disagreed with her idea. He and his wife had known each other since childhood and fallen in love in their youth.
They have been each other's most important existence for decades.
When his wife was pregnant with Lu Qinming, she damaged her health, and her overall health deteriorated significantly.
The doctor advised them that, for their health's sake, it would be best if they didn't have any more children.
Lu Limin wanted to grow old with his wife and watch the sunset hand in hand, so he readily agreed. He even went so far as to have a tubal ligation procedure behind his wife's back.
"Our family is small, but our children are the most successful."
Lu Limin felt that all the children in his family were excellent, hardworking and conscientious.
These two points are enough; they don't ask for much else.
Gu Mingyue changed into a simple white dress, with a small red flower brooch pinned to her chest, and her hair was tied into a simple braid.
It doesn't need much embellishment; it possesses a natural, unadorned beauty.
Lu Wanwan dressed up carefully. This was her first time meeting her family after her transformation, and she was determined to impress everyone!
The first to arrive were Lu Qinming's cousin, Lu Qinde, and his family.
"Mom and Dad, I'm going to find my older brother."
A clear and cheerful voice came from behind. Gu Mingyue looked over and saw a young man wearing bell-bottoms and a floral shirt walk in, his voice filled with cheers and excitement.
Gu Mingyue's eyes widened slightly. In this day and age, there were still such fashionable outfits. Beijing truly lived up to its reputation as a metropolis.
As soon as Lu Ze entered the room, he saw a beautiful woman sitting on the sofa.
His eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward to sit next to Gu Mingyue, pulling out a flower from somewhere.
"Hello, beautiful lady, may I have the honor of knowing your name?"
"Second brother, what are you doing!"
Lu Wanwan was pushed aside by him, and she glared at him with her cheeks puffed out in anger.
Lu Ze seemed oblivious, ignoring everything and staring intently at Gu Mingyue, occasionally winking at her.
Gu Mingyue was dumbfounded. Not a brother? Was this really okay? Weren't they afraid of being charged with indecent assault?
Her little head held a huge question.
"Lu Ze, what are you doing? You have no manners, whether you're standing or sitting. What kind of posture are you?"
Lu Qinde, who came in a step behind, saw his son in this state and couldn't bear to look at him.
Lu Ze was still somewhat afraid of his father's cold face. He straightened his clothes and stood up.
"A beautiful and graceful lady is the object of a gentleman's affections. Dad, you can't stop me from pursuing my right to happiness."
"Hey, go to hell."
Lu Wanwan couldn't hold back any longer and jumped up to give him a flick on the forehead.
"This is my sister-in-law. You're dreaming. Believe me or not, I'll have my brother beat you up."
With her older brother backing her up, Lu Wanwan wasn't afraid of him.
