Chapter 69: Forcing Yourself to Join Someone Else’s Birthday Party
University classmates also commented and expressed their feelings.
[Wow, I've seen this Dragon Palace Banquet Hall on the news before. It's an underwater banquet hall with 360-degree transparent glass, allowing you to see all sorts of marine life! It's said to cost tens of millions to rent it out!]
[Jiaojiao is really a top-notch white, rich and beautiful girl, I’m so envious (starry eyes)]
Xia Lili flipped through the string of flattering comments and raised her eyebrows.
This hotel is on the seaside. Could it be the same place where Old Mrs. Bai’s birthday party is held?
It can’t be such a coincidence, right?
I hope I don’t run into that unlucky thing Lin Jiaojiao.
Eight o'clock in the morning.
A Toyota Alphard nanny car was already waiting in the underground parking lot of the apartment.
The electric sliding door opened, and Xia Lili sat on the soft massage seat, and suddenly she felt like she was sinking into it.
She noticed that the driver was even wearing a uniform and white gloves.
Very particular, too particular!
Once the car door is closed, it is as quiet as a library, and the sound insulation effect is amazing.
Xia Lili put away a rectangular box on her back - today it contained a birthday gift for Old Mrs. Bai.
Tang Mingqian had already told them that there was no need to bring any gifts, just show up in person.
Xia Lili thought it would be a nice gesture to give her a traditional Chinese painting she had painted to express her feelings, but she couldn't afford anything more expensive.
The driver handed Xia Lili a tablet and said, "Miss Xia, we'll go directly to the styling studio. A Michelin five-star chef will be here to cook your dishes. Please place your order first."
Xia Lili took the tablet and saw the dazzling list of dishes. She ordered a few at random: Golden Sea Urchin Cloud Egg, Air-Fresh Puff Pastry from Paris, and Freshly Baked Madagascar Vanilla Soufflé.
Xia Lili didn't feel anything until the car stopped in the garage of the top styling studio. The driver and the car were so stable.
The car door opened and a smiling face greeted me.
The woman in the executive suit smiled politely at Xia Lili. "Hello, Miss Xia. I'm Anna, the personal assistant sent by Shengtang Group to take care of your itinerary."
"If you have any questions or requests, please feel free to ask me."
Xia Lili nodded awkwardly.
Seeing this, Anna could tell that Xia Lili was an introvert. She smiled gently and helped her out of the nanny car: "It's okay, relax."
The tone makes people feel like sitting in the spring breeze.
I swiped my card to enter the passage and took the elevator. As the elevator door opened, the view in front of me suddenly opened up.
In front of me is a suite of more than 100 square meters. High-end dresses from famous brands are hung on hangers in three or four rows, and various kinds of jewelry are displayed on the island in the middle of the suite.
The dressing table on the right is magnificent, with dazzling big-brand cosmetics covering almost the entire wall.
Anna led Xia Lili to sit at the marble dining table in the dressing room. Two minutes later, the blond and blue-eyed foreign chef served the dish himself.
Anna asked softly, "Miss Xia, do you want to eat quietly while you eat, or do you want to take a look at the dress?"
Xia Lili searched and replied: "Let's take a look at the dress~"
Xia Lili originally thought that the so-called viewing of dresses meant that the staff would push the clothing racks over and show her the dresses one by one.
However, after a while, three girls of similar height and build to her came out.
They were wearing dresses of different styles.
Anna whispered softly, "Miss Xia, you can take a look at the dresses first. If there is any one of these three that you like, please let me remember it."
Then the staff pushed over three rows of hangers with dresses hanging on them.
"If you have any clothes you like on the hangers, you can ask the models to try them on for you."
Anna suggested, "Finally, we'll select a few pieces for the final round, and then you can try them on yourself."
Xia Lili was really enlightened.
It turns out that rich people try on clothes by looking for models of the same height and body shape as themselves, rather than doing it themselves.
It's really tiring to try on dresses one by one, especially those that are quite difficult to put on.
After breakfast, top stylists and makeup artists came to do makeup for Xia Lili. The names of these two people had been seen on the Weibo of her celebrity studio. They had done makeup for many big-name artists!
The life of rich people is so simple and unpretentious!
"Miss Xia, you have a really good foundation."
"Your hair is in great condition, I'll just curl it for you with a curling iron~"
"Miss Xia, this eyebrow shape doesn't bring out your original beauty. I'll help you design a new one."
…
Under the control of the stylist and makeup artist, Xia Lili's appearance was brought to its fullest. After changing into a dress and wearing jewelry, she completed the transformation from an ugly duckling to a white swan, and she was stunningly beautiful.
The stylist and Anna were stunned. Xia Lili was also stunned when she looked at herself in the mirror, but clothes make the man, and she never thought that she could become so beautiful.
"Keep your back straight!"
The stylist gently tapped Xia Lili's back with the measuring tape in her hand: "Pay attention to your posture. You are the most handsome guy in the room!"
Xia Lili straightened her back. She wanted to be worthy of the time she had spent most of this morning and the efforts of the staff!

Blue Sandbank.
This is a private beach with clear blue water and fine and clean white sand.
A pure white Baroque building is inlaid on the beach like a pearl shell, and the dome hall supported by twelve Roman columns faces the raging sea.
This is Xuanji Water Palace, a high-end private club located on the blue sandbar.
Today is the 72nd birthday of Bai Zi, the mother-in-law of Tang Mingqian, chairman of Shengtang Group, one of the richest men in Yangcheng.
Luxury cars were constantly passing by the front of the club, and celebrities from all walks of life, dressed in formal attire, got out of their cars and walked into the banquet hall.
At this time, a black nanny car stopped steadily at the door of the club, and the door slid open silently.
The girl who got out of the car attracted everyone's attention.
She took a step forward with her slender white legs, and her almond-shaped eyes under her thin bangs raised slightly.
It was Xia Lili.
Her long, slightly curly hair fell on her bare shoulders, swaying gently with her steps.
The lake blue fishtail dress she was wearing sparkled in the sunlight.
The string of top-grade Australian white pearls around her neck exudes a soft luster, and each pearl is perfectly round, making her neck look slender and elegant.
The fishtail skirt of the dress flared at her ankles as she walked, just like the tail fin of a mermaid princess that had not yet faded when she came ashore.
She reached out and gently gathered the loose hair by her ear, and the bracelet on her wrist reflected a tiny ray of light.
"Whose eldest daughter is this?"
"I don't know, I don't recognize her. I've seen the pearl necklace on her neck at an auction!"
…
The people who were greeting each other at the entrance of the club were whispering.
Xia Lili was very nervous facing the gazes of so many people. She walked slowly, but just after taking a few steps with her dignity, something unfortunate happened.
She twisted her foot.
Xia Lili was in tears. She had chosen the high heels for her beauty, but she didn't expect that she still couldn't control them!
Anna quickly supported her: "Miss Xia, I will go find you a pair of suitable high heels!"
Xia Lili nodded quickly, "Let me take the painting, so you can be quicker."
Anna nodded, turned around and ran to make a phone call.
"Xia Lili?!"
A sharp female voice exploded in Xia Lili's ears.
Xia Lili turned around and was surprised to see who was coming.
It was her college roommate Tan Man, one of Lin Jiaojiao's followers.
Tan Man's eyes lingered on Xia Lili's pearl necklace and dress. She asked in shock, "Why are you here? This is a private beach. How did you get in?"
Xia Lili glanced at her calmly and said, "I'm here to attend an acquaintance's birthday party."
Tan Man smiled sarcastically when she heard this: "Jiaojiao didn't invite you, did she?"
"Why are you still trying to get in on someone else's grandfather's birthday party?"
