Chapter 213: Competition
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the blink of an eye, it was Lu Xiang’s birthday.
For this matter, Shen Xian applied for leave on Shi Man’s behalf early in the morning and brought her to the stylist’s office to do her hair.
Shi Man was unwilling to be harmed by Shen Xian alone and dragged Su Tang along. However, Su Tang rejected her righteously. The reason was that someone had to take notes in class because she still had to read them later.
Shi Man had no choice but to let Shen Xian bring her to the styling room. After an entire day of torture, just as she was sleeping soundly, she was suddenly awakened by Shen Xian pushing her arm.
“Manman, open your eyes and see how beautiful you are now!”
Shen Xian’s voice was gentle and magical, comforting her emotions that had suddenly arisen because someone had woken her up.
She obediently opened her eyes and looked at the beautiful girl in the mirror. Her long hair naturally fell to her shoulders. She reached out and pinched her face.
“Hey, don’t touch it! Be careful not to rub off your makeup!” Shen Xian pushed her hand away and held her shoulder as she stood behind her. She smiled and leaned close to her daughter’s ear. ’’My precious daughter is indeed beautiful.
You will definitely be the most dazzling focus tonight.”
Shi Man looked curiously at the cute girl in the mirror who looked like a Barbie doll. The makeup on her face covered the hostility on her body very well, as if it had softened all the corners. She looked as beautiful and dazzling as a
princess in a castle.
The stylist brought over the custom-made gown that Shen Xian had custom-made earlier and held it in front of Shi Man with a smile. “This dress suits Miss Shi’s makeup tonight. Do you want to try it on now?”
“Let’s try it.” Shen Xian smiled and took the gown. She shook open the fishtail-shaped skirt and gently patted her expressionless daughter. “Why are you in a daze? Are you so stunned by your own beauty that you can’t look away? Don’t
worry, you’ll be even more beautiful in this dress later!”
Shen Xian had a good taste in choosing clothes. This fishtail dress perfectly highlighted her curvaceous figure, making her look pure and sexy. It was as if the princess just now had instantly turned into a mermaid chasing freedom in the
sea. She was so beautiful that no one could find any fault with her.
After packing up, Shen Xian swiped her card to settle the bill in satisfaction and brought Shi Man to the Yi family for a banquet.
Not only did Lu Xiang invite the Shi family to this birthday banquet, but she also invited many of the Yi family’s good friends.
When Shen Xian brought Shi Man to the Yi family, Yi Zheng was waiting at the door. A breeze blew gently, lifting the hair on his head. The man, who always had a gloomy expression, looked especially gentle at this moment.
He recognized Shen Xian’s car at a glance and immediately welcomed her with a smile. He personally opened the car door for her. “Aunt Shen, my mother is waiting for you inside. I’ll bring you there.”
He walked around the front of the car and opened the door for Shi Man on the other side of the backseat.
The President, who had always been high and mighty, had become an usher in charge of welcoming guests in the presence of the mother and daughter.
Shi Man got out of the car with a straight face and glared at him fiercely before turning to walk into the Yi family residence.
Unexpectedly, Yi Zheng suddenly grabbed her arm and whispered into her ear with a smile, “You’re very beautiful today. Can you only wear it for me to see in the future?”
“In your dreams?” Shi Man rolled her eyes at him and turned around arrogantly to leave.
Yi Zheng followed with a smile. He consciously held her hand and placed it in the crook of his arm. He lowered his eyes and said righteously, “The etiquette of a lady’s banquet is to appear with her partner. Don’t you know?”
Of course, Shi Man knew. In the past, many of her missions were to assassinate a certain target at the banquet.
Thinking of this, she suddenly smiled sinisterly and tightened her grip on Yi Zheng’s arm. “Of course, I know. I’ll hold you tightly.”
She deliberately emphasized the last few words. The meaning of the threat was very obvious.
However, Yi Zheng smiled calmly, as if it didn’t hurt. He brought her to Shen Xian’s side without changing his expression. “Aunt Shen, let’s go in now. After you.”
Shen Xian looked at her daughter with a strange expression as she suddenly took the initiative to hold Yi Zheng’s arm. However, it was not appropriate to ask since there were people coming and going at the door. She could only smile
and nod. “Alright, as long as you young people have fun, you don’t have to worry about me being beside you.”
The moment she stepped into the banquet hall, Shi Man could clearly feel everyone’s gazes suddenly on her. She had killed people in the past and had lingering symptoms of occupational hazards. When she was stared at in public, her
hands would itch and she subconsciously tightened her grip on Yi Zheng’s arm.
Yi Zheng’s expression did not change. He brought her to his mother and smiled. “Mom, Manman and Aunt Shen are here.”
“Aiyo, let’s go, let’s go.” Lu Xiang excitedly grabbed Shen Xian’s arm and asked her to sit down beside her.
The people who were fawning over her just now were instantly pushed away by Shen Xian. There was a clear distinction between closeness and indifference, but they did not dare to say anything; no one dared to provoke Shen Xia given
her identity and background..
