Chapter 2134: Competing
The door of the dressing room was pushed open, and Madam Li walked in. Ye Ying, who was talking, turned around when she heard the commotion. She hurriedly adjusted her expression and stood up. She stood up and greeted Madam Li gently, “Madam.”
Madam Li took in all her expressions. She thought that her daughter had embarrassed Ye Ying again. Seeing that Ye Ying could quickly adjust her expression and pretend to be calm, she smiled in satisfaction.
She had not misjudged her. She was indeed a lady who knew better than to embarrass anyone.
“You’re injured, so don’t stand on ceremony. Sit down quickly.” Madam Li, who was walking over elegantly, took the initiative to put her arm around Ye Ying’s shoulder. After a while, she said, “Fortunately, you didn’t hurt your face. Don’t wear anything else later. Just wear the military uniform. Don’t put on too much makeup on your face either. Just be more elegant.”
Du Jiayi, who had completed her eye makeup, said with a smile, “Mom, actually, I don’t need to put on too much makeup either. I just need to look simple and elegant. I’ll just wear my military uniform too.”
“You want to go against me again, huh?” Madam Li tapped her daughter’s forehead with her index finger. As she was in a good mood, she joked with the makeup artist, “Make her look uglier so that she won’t be able to face anyone later.”
The makeup artist quickly said respectfully, “Miss Du is naturally beautiful. She’s already very beautiful without makeup.”
“You heard that, right? Mom, you have to listen to the thoughts of the people.” Du Jiayi, who was smiling like a flower, raised her eyebrows playfully and pulled Ye Ying into the conversation. “Tell me, who’s more beautiful between me and Ye Ying?”
Madam Li liked Du Jiayi’s antics. It made her laugh.
Hearing this, she looked at her and then at Ye Ying. “Each has her own merits. However, Yingying is still the most obedient.”
…
“She’s the only one you like who’s obedient.” Du Jiayi smiled at Ye Ying, who had lowered her head and whose cheeks were red. Her laughter was even crisper. “Let’s not talk about it anymore. She’s already blushing.”
It was uncertain if she was angry or really blushing.
Her eyes darted around, then Du Jiayi retracted her gaze coldly and discussed with Madam Li which necklace to wear later to complement her gown.
More than ten necklace boxes were opened and placed neatly on the dressing table. Each necklace was expensive. When she saw the pink diamond necklace, Ye Ying’s eyes widened.
So pretty and bright. How envious she was.
“It’s pink and beautiful. It goes well with your white lace gown.” Madam Li personally brought the pink diamond to her daughter. As she lowered her head, she said with a light smile, “Your lover will be here tonight. Dress up well and let him be amazed by you.”
Du Jiayi’s eyes lit up like diamonds. Her voice was so soft that Ye Ying couldn’t hear it. She said happily, “Qin Xiu? Did you say that Qin Xiu will come?”
“Yes, the diplomat you like, Qin Xiu, will be coming. Look at you, you’re already acting like a fool before he comes.” Madam Li tidied her daughter’s hair again and reminded the makeup artist elegantly, “The makeup doesn’t have to be too thick. It just has to be plain and appropriate. She shouldn’t look too mature. She’s still young.”
“Yes, Madam,” the makeup artist replied fearfully, afraid that she would anger Madam Li.
Madam Li nodded in satisfaction and turned to Ye Ying. “Yingying, change into your military uniform. I’ll bring you out for a walk. There are guests at home. Li Yuan is entertaining the male guests. Come chat with the female guests with me. They’re a group of young ladies in their 20s. I can’t keep up with their conversation.”
