Chapter 3297: Sudden Changes (38)
The main purpose of holding this banquet was to conduct some auction activities. All proceeds after the auction fees were deducted would be used for charity.
The management of proceeds of an auction is usually explained prior to the auction, to clarify what the funds would be used for. It may also be adjusted and used by a credible foundation.
If there was a charity banquet, Daddy would have received the invitation too.
However, he had not heard anything regarding this.
"What is Mommy planning to auction off?"
"The jewelry I'll be wearing to the award ceremony," she replied.
"Oh, Mommy is investing a lot," Youyou teased with narrowed eyes.
"Of course!"
Yun Shishi opened a row of drawers in the cloakroom. In them were a dazzling array of accessories. She picked up a ruby necklace and smiled. "I'll wear this necklace to the National Drama Festival! Then, we can auction this necklace off at the charity banquet. It will definitely fetch a high price."
"Mommy is scheming! This necklace is worth more than a million yuan. If you wear it to the award ceremony and win the award, this necklace would immediately rise in value."
She pinched his cheek gently. "My Youyou, why are you so smart?"
"That's one question I should ask Mommy!" Youyou grinned. "Why did Mommy make me so smart?"
"Haha!" Yun Shishi was elated to hear this. Hence, she decided to wear this ruby necklace to the National Drama Festival.
…
The National Drama Festival ceremony was held in Xiang Hai City.
The night before the grand ceremony, Mu Yazhe and Yun Shishi arrived in Xiang Hai City in a chartered plane.
There would be a red carpet event prior to the award ceremony. So that his woman may make a grand appearance on the stage, Mu Yazhe specially hired a top-notch stylist team to style her for the event.
However, after childbirth, confinement, and an indulgent period of honeymoon, Yun Shishi seemed to have put on some weight.
She was 1.65 meters tall. In the past, she weighed only slightly over 100 pounds, but now, she weighed around 110 pounds.
Logically speaking, 110 pounds for her height was nowhere near unacceptable. However for celebrities, maintaining their figures was an important task. For an artiste, putting on even one pound made a huge difference!
When Yun Shishi went for gown fitting in the morning, she saw a dress that she especially liked. However, she could not zip it up no matter how hard she tried. She awkwardly took off the gown and covered her face in embarrassment. There was nothing she could do but smile bitterly.
In the past, putting on a dress like this was a piece of cake. However, during the honeymoon, she was fed with grilled sausages, salad, steak, and other delicacies by a certain man, and her figure filled out.
She did not dare to imagine how the reporters might criticize her in the media, the day after the event!
Putting on weight, losing her figure…
Just thinking about it made her heart ache.
But fortunately, she had only gained ten pounds, most of which went to her thighs and buttocks. It was not so obvious when she wore the gown.
If the weight had gone into her face, she would definitely be too embarrassed to walk the red carpet!
She was born with a small, oval face that was delicate and tender. Even when her weight soared to 140 pounds during pregnancy, her face remained rather thin.
