Chapter 1557: Chapter 1557: Country Bumpkin Otaku Girl
"Hey, let’s just hold a matchmaking dinner. It’ll save us time and effort." And it’s a chance to provoke that person a bit, make him jealous. Who told him to ignore his sister for so many years?
She was about to chat with her brother for a while when she saw Ye Lu coming in with several dresses, looking fierce as she barged in.
"You little girl, didn’t I tell you to come back earlier? Tomorrow’s your birthday, and you only got back today. Do you know how tight the schedule is and how much there’s still to do? You came back but didn’t come to find Mommy right away, and here you are chatting away with your brother. Come on, come on, let’s have the designer fit your dress. If it’s not right, we’ll have to alter it. It’s so nerve-wracking. You’re just worrisome, you little girl."
Jun Yiyi obediently got dragged away by Ye Lu.
What’s Mommy so worried about? It’s just a birthday party, isn’t it? Acting like we’re bracing for a major crisis. It seems like she’s the only woman at home, she’s really bored, isn’t she? As soon as I got back, she didn’t let me slip away.
But Jun Yiyi has loved new clothes and dressing up since she was a child. At the science and engineering school, everyone dressed very seriously and plainly, as if competing to see who was more out of touch with trendy society. She couldn’t dress too conspicuously, besides, with all those courses, she didn’t have time to dress up.
After enduring ten years, she was almost turning into a country bumpkin shut-in.
"Honey, you seem to have gotten uglier?" Ye Lu impolitely sized her up from head to toe.
"Really?" Jun Yiyi got instantly tense and looked into the mirror. In the reflection, she saw a young girl with bright eyes and white teeth, snow-white skin, a delicate and exquisite face, tender petal-like red lips, and a pair of eyes glistening with beauty and warmth. Though her hair was a bit unkempt, she was definitely a beauty in the making.
Jun Yiyi regained her confidence.
"Mommy, how can you say your daughter is ugly? That’s an illusion, definitely an illusion. I, Jun Yiyi, have always been as beautiful as a flower, and that is an undeniable fact, just like a universal truth!"
Ye Lu secretly laughed. She knew this girl loved beauty, and a little provocation would make her jumpy.
But tomorrow night is truly important, so it was necessary to make this girl pay attention and dress beautifully, unleashing her charm to capture the best man in her hands.
"Recently, at some high-society salons, many young ladies sighed to me, saying that when they traveled to H Island, they couldn’t believe it when they saw you, that you had gotten darker and uglier."
Jun Yiyi glared angrily: "Those gossipy women, dare say I became ugly. They’re definitely jealous because I’ve been prettier than them since childhood."
But she remembered, last year on Mommy’s birthday, she was so absorbed in research she lost track of time. She hurriedly flew back, didn’t even change out of her lab clothes, her hair was a mess, wearing those big anti-radiation glasses, looking dusty. As soon as she entered the party, she scared a bunch of people.
Then she got mocked by a group of fashionable young ladies at the party, saying she’d become ugly and plain, and her title as the island’s most beautiful woman should be given to someone else.
Hmph, dream on. The title of the most beautiful woman can only belong to me, Jun Yiyi.
No one better try to steal Jun Yiyi’s spotlight!
"Mommy, quickly bring those dresses for me to try." Jun Yiyi flicked her hair confidently, "Tomorrow night, let those idle rich girls who only know how to indulge themselves see what it means to combine beauty and intelligence, what it means to stun the whole audience, what it means to be the true first beauty!"
Ye Lu chuckled; on the outside, she seemed to have matured a lot, but inside, this girl was still as mischievous and attention-seeking, self-absorbed, and proud as when she was little!
