Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 703: The Shift in Discourse Power (Part 2)
The makeup team exchanged glances after hearing Yun Ran’s words, quietly reminding themselves that "The customer is king!"
On the way to Yun Ran’s dressing room, they already started suspecting that this coming-of-age ceremony would be the Waterloo of their careers.
After today, this team might disband, even if it wasn’t their fault, they would have to bear the blame.
The helplessness of working people weighed heavily on them at that moment.
Until they entered Yun Ran’s dressing room and saw those luxurious branded ready-to-wear clothes, each set worth hundreds of thousands.
The racks of clothes packed tightly and the casually placed jewelry were like boomerangs, piercing their hearts sharply.
At the same time, it mocked their inability to recognize Yun Ran’s change in status and identity.
Instinctively, they had continued to view her as they used to, as an unfavored lady.
A few of their expressions changed as they picked out the clothes. When they appeared before Yun Ran again, their attitude had shifted to one of reverence and respect.
Previously, they had been mistaken in thinking that someone with such a grand mansion needed to be dressed according to their aesthetic to fit in with others.
A person with true influence doesn’t need to conform. They could attend a banquet in whatever they like.
Even if draped in burlap, others would still have to applaud and flatter them.
"Third Miss Yun, here are several outfits we selected according to your request."
Yun Ran glanced over them and was fairly satisfied. Even though she might not take action at her coming-of-age ceremony, wearing something that allowed for easy movement suited her better.
After selecting a few outfits, the makeup artist started doing Yun Ran’s makeup and hair.
Yun Ran’s skin was already delicate and smooth, reducing the steps needed. Within half an hour, all the makeup and styling was complete.
Yun Ran, having changed into the first outfit, paired with a securely tied high ponytail, exuded a youthful vigor that was immediately striking.
It’s worth noting, this makeup team truly had skills, as this look made Yun Ran very satisfied.
"I’ll choose the jewelry myself. You all can take a rest now."
Waving them off, the makeup team exited respectfully, now fully aware of their previous mistake.
They dared not have any objections now.
After they left, a Little Paperman came over with a tray. "Master, here are the items you requested."
Most of the jewelry, made of jade, was clearly valuable even at first glance.
However, only connoisseurs would know these jade pieces were all high-quality protective magical artifacts.
"Master, are you taking Erdan and that umbrella with you this time?"
"Of course, I don’t want to be walking around and suddenly trip, or worse, stand still and have a chandelier fall on my head!"
Even though Yun Ran still found Erdan somewhat annoying, it was still useful.
As for that black umbrella, after being tricked by Rong Gu before, Yun Ran had to be cautious.
When spinning the black umbrella, it formed a barrier underneath, making her visible to others but untouchable, like a glass shield around her.
After adorning herself with the jade accessories, Yun Ran carried Erdan, now painted to resemble a petite oval bag, in one hand and held the umbrella in the other, leisurely walking out of the room.
The Little Papermen obediently flew into the pockets of Yun Ran’s clothes, leaving no visible flaws.
Xuan Chu had also gotten ready. Dressed in a bespoke suit, he looked significantly more noble.
At least, he no longer carried the somewhat irksome aura he had before.
Xuan Chu glanced at Yun Ran’s outfit, not too surprised, as Yun Ran obviously preferred this sleek style.
"Good thing this coming-of-age ceremony is yours; otherwise, people might mistake you for the staff with your sharp look."
Yun Ran: ...
"Have you ever seen staff wearing millions worth of accessories?"
The magic artifacts she wore were very valuable, even at cost price. If she wanted to sell them, they’d fetch millions or even billions at auction easily.
"Alright, alright, I misspoke. But, are you sure you want to carry that umbrella the whole time?"
Honestly, if Xuan Chu hadn’t seen the umbrella’s effect with his own eyes, looking at Yun Ran’s current look...
Xuan Chu felt calling Yun Ran a ’god stick’ trickster might be more fitting.
"What do you know? It’s just a coming-of-age ceremony, a legit occasion to receive gifts; nothing’s more important than my life!"
From now on, unless the sealing on her Spirit Platform is lifted, she will always have the umbrella with her.
If she didn’t have only two hands, needing one to hold Erdan’s chain and her phone, and the other for the umbrella, she’d have wanted to bring out her feather fan as well.
Anyone trying to get close or harbor ill intentions, she’d just fan them away!
Having suffered once, she’d learned her lesson; living smart is essential.
"Fine, as long as you’re happy. It’s your show anyway."
Seeing it’s almost time to go, with over an hour’s drive to the mountaintop hotel reserved by the Yun Family, they had to set off.
Old Liu had prepared the car early. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
The makeup team, accompanying Yun Ran from start to finish today, would give touch-ups whenever needed.
Meanwhile, people from the Yun Family had arrived early to greet guests who showed up before the start time.
The Second Branch members, in places others couldn’t see, showed a hint of envy and jealousy in their eyes.
They whispered, "The Main Branch is really biased; even though we’re separate now, we’re still blood relatives.
Our daughters’ coming-of-age ceremonies haven’t even been this grand or took over a mountaintop hotel. Imagine the cost!
Moreover, the numerous elites attending, even from the Capital City, sent gifts. Yun Ran, that burden, really scored big!"
Hearing the murmurs of their family, the head of the Second Branch’s face changed immediately, giving a warning tug.
In a low voice, he warned, "Do you realize the setting? Are you trying to embarrass us?
We as the Second Branch don’t even match up to Yun Ran’s little finger. She used to be a burden, but now, she’s the entire Yun Family’s noble one!
I warn you, conduct yourselves well today, and don’t stir up trouble. Otherwise, don’t blame me if I can’t protect you!"
