Chapter 74
Giana asked where I was in such a hurry. I couldn’t hear anything at all. I held my bag, hailed a taxi, and didn’t have time to put on makeup or dress up. I went straight to Elegance Heights.
Night fell. The villa was brightly lit, and outside were filled with luxury cars. The guests who came to congratulate kept coming in one after another. My taxi stopped at the door, and as soon as I got out, I saw my grandmother waiting for me at the door.
“Katrina,” Grandma said, dressed in a luxurious dark purple cheongsam, looking very elegant and graceful.
“Grandma, I’m sorry, I was busy just now…” I felt guilty. Grandma seemed to have guessed my embarrassed appearance and came here early to wait for me.
Grandma kindly interrupted, “It’s okay, Grandma knows you must have been busy and forgotten, so I called you in advance. The banquet hasn’t started yet, come over with Grandma.”
I breathed a sigh of relief as I was led into the house by my grandmother. I went straight to my grandmother’s room. I was being held down by my grandmother, sitting at the dressing table. In a short while, a female makeup artist entered the room.
I was at a loss.“Grandma, what is this for?”
“Put on makeup and wear an evening gown,” Grandma said indulgently with a smile. “Your father–in–law likes to host those fancy Western–style banquets, and everyone dresses up for them. As his eldest daughter–in–law, you can’t embarrass him, you know!”
I sat obediently, allowing the makeup artist to work on my face. Danna sat beside, watching with delight and indulgence in her eyes. The makeup artist couldn’t help but sigh, “Madam Shao’s skin was fair and rosy, and it was so tender and smooth. No matter what makeup she applied, it wouldn’t look cakey. How did she take such good care of her skin normally?”
“I rarely put anything on my face,” I replied in a soft and gentle voice. I have never used any cosmetics on my face from childhood to adulthood. When I feel dry in winter, I just apply a thin layer of vitamin E lotion. After Kaleb and I got married, the well–prepared wedding was suddenly canceled. At that moment, I had some expectations in my heart. Perhaps tonight would be the most beautiful I had ever dressed in my life.
