After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved-Chapter 6 - Deliberately Picking Ugly Dresses for Her?

At today's charity dinner, both the Lu Family and Lu Sheng received invitations.

At such events, men's attire isn't as particular, but the ladies are covertly competing in beauty and style, meticulously mastering their makeup and outfits.

Just like that, the banquet starts at 7:30 but it's only 3:00 and Jiang Ting and others are already preparing.

As Lu Sheng leaves the Lu residence, she spots a black Bentley parked by the roadside from afar.

She uses her Soul Power to boost her hearing and hears the conversation between Lu Qianrou and Jiang Ting in the car.

"Mom, I understand you want Lu Sheng to attend the dinner, but why do we have to take her for makeup styling too?" said Lu Qianrou.

"She's a country girl, clueless about makeup and outfits. Wouldn't it be better to let her show up plain-faced and dressed poorly?"

"You silly child," Jiang Ting said, "If you and I are dressed brightly and only she looks disheveled, wouldn't others say that I, as a mother, deliberately made her look bad and humiliated her?"

"So, we definitely need to dress her up, and when we get to Crystal, we'll still have the final say."

"When the time comes, find her the worst makeup artist and let them make her up as gaudily and tackily as they please."

Jiang Ting scoffed, "Don't worry, darling, even with that face that looks so much like her mother the vixen, Lu Sheng won't steal your spotlight tonight. She'd more likely become a laughingstock."

"Mom, you always think of everything. I love you the most!" Lu Qianrou, reassured, happily hugged and fawned over Jiang Ting.

Crystal?

What a coincidence.

I was hesitant about whether to withdraw money, and now I don't have to.

As Lu Sheng approached, the two in the car stopped talking. Jiang Ting and Lu Qianrou sat in the back seats, instructing Lu Sheng to sit in the front passenger seat.

As if, they were the ladies, and she was a servant following along like the driver.

"Aunt Jiang, where are we going?" Lu Sheng feigned ignorance.

"You wouldn't know if I told you," Jiang Ting snorted, seeing Lu Sheng as just a clueless bumpkin, "Ever heard of Crystal?"

Lu Sheng shook her head blankly.

"Sister," Lu Qianrou seemingly kindly, but actually covertly flaunting her superiority, explained to Lu Sheng.

"Crystal is the most famous and expensive private styling studio in Jiang City, the only shop opened by the lead stylist Ellison, and it's hard to get an appointment."

"We're going there for styling today, Mom booked it a week in advance."

"Then, is that Ellison coming to style us?" asked Lu Sheng.

Lu Qianrou couldn't help but snicker at Lu Sheng's ignorance.

"How could that be, do you even know who Ellison styles for? Those are people of the highest esteem."

"Ellison himself is low-key and mysterious, with a very aloof and solitary personality. He doesn't care about money when it comes to styling, he goes entirely by his feelings and connections, you couldn't even book him if you offered."

"Even top actresses in the entertainment industry can't get Ellison for Red Carpet stylings, and the wives from prominent families in Jiang City try to book him with high offers every time there is a banquet but are always mercilessly rejected."

"Is that so."

Lu Sheng sat upright, her mind wandering back to that rainy night years ago in the UK, to the shivering young man by the roadside who looked up at her with a defiant look.

Can't help but raise an eyebrow, it's been a few years, why has that kid's temper gotten even worse?

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a grand French building surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, which looked quite upscale from outside.

A waiter wearing white gloves came over to open the rear car door, and a staff member hurried over, respectfully saying, "Mrs. Lu, Miss Lu, you've arrived."

The staff member said, "The two gowns the madam chose, we've already brought them. Jasmyn and Vivian are also waiting for you and the miss."

The staff member completely ignored Lu Sheng, who stepped out of the car in a long-sleeved T-shirt and blue jeans, believing she was a servant sent to go shopping for groceries with the driver.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work," Jiang Ting was used to being surrounded and attended to, and she instructed, "Oh, and Xiao Li, I've brought another person with me today. She will also be attending the banquet tonight, so she needs to have makeup done and be styled as well."

"Ah?" Xiao Li, the staff member, then glanced at Lu Sheng, somewhat embarrassed, "Um... Madam, as you know, our expert makeup artists need to be booked a week in advance."

"Bringing someone over so suddenly, our salon only has regular makeup artists available for the miss, and there might be a two to three hour wait."

"Also, as for evening gowns and such, she can only choose from what we have in the store right now. The dresses we have here are not as exquisite in terms of texture and style."

Jiang Ting couldn't be happier with this.

"No problem," Jiang Ting generously waved her hand, "then let's first go pick a dress for her, and afterwards, she can wait in line, that's fine. Lu Sheng, you don't mind, do you?"

Jiang Ting's gaze shifted towards Lu Sheng. Of course, Lu Sheng shook her head, very politely saying, "I'm fine with anything, thank you for your concern, mother."

—Mother? From the Lu Family?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li was startled, seemingly catching wind of some incredible gossip.

They catered to the upper class, and were quite familiar with the secrets of the wealthy. Isn't Lu Qianrou the only daughter of the Lu Family? How come this girl, dressed so plain and outdated, also calling Jiang Ting mother?

It looked like Jiang City's high society was about to buzz with new gossip.

Xiao Li murmured to herself internally while raising her hand to usher Lu Sheng and the others inside.

The studio was very large, divided into different areas. Since Jiang Ting had just said they should first help Lu Sheng select a dress, Xiao Li led them into the clothing section.

"Madam, please have a look, you can choose freely."

Before Lu Sheng was a row of clothes racks, filled with numerous colorful dresses, crowding together.

Just as Xiao Li had said earlier, these dresses were not very high-end in terms of texture and style, otherwise, they wouldn't be displayed so casually.

Jiang Ting walked around, casually picking up a long dress: "I think this dress is pretty good, let's go with this one."

When Xiao Li saw the dress clearly, she couldn't help but ask, "...Madam, are you sure you want this one?"

What Jiang Ting had in her hand was a satin magenta long dress.

Magenta is a color that easily makes one look darker and older, even female stars often look disastrous in it, appearing more rustic and unsophisticated.

And the dress was also made of satin—satin dresses heavily rely on fabric quality, but handling this dress, one could immediately feel a strong sense of cheapness.

Not to mention any design or details—the long dress didn't even include a waist, visually adding about twenty pounds.

This Mrs. Lu was always so picky with her choices, but picking a dress for Lu Sheng this casually, it seemed almost intentional, as if she wanted to dress her up ugly.

"Just this one," Jiang Ting handed the dress to Xiao Li, giving her a look, "Then I'll trouble you, find her an 'experienced' makeup artist."

"Ah, yes, madam," Xiao Li understood Jiang Ting's hint right away, "Rest assured, I will make sure the miss is 'well' dressed up."
