Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ling Xuewei had no choice but to wash up and eat.
Wei Xinyue had been beside her ear the whole time, rambling on about how wonderful Lin Bai was.
Ling Xuewei’s ears were almost bruised from listening.
It was not easy for her to endure until she finished eating. Ling Xuewei wanted to use the excuse of going to work earlier to go to the company to have some peace and quietness.
Unexpectedly, Wei Xinyue pressed her down in front of the dressing table.
“Is this how you plan to meet Lin Bai?”
Wei Xinyue’s tone was close to questioning.
Ling Xuewei was completely confused by her mother’s question.
She looked at herself in the mirror. She had a face full of light makeup, her clothes were neat, and her hairstyle was tidy.
There was no problem.
“Shouldn’t I look like this?”?Ling Xuewei retorted.
Wei Xinyue was furious at her.
“Look at you. Other than your long hair, do you still have a hint of femininity??When you keep a straight face, you look like someone owes you money and hasn’t paid you back. You’re so cold. which man would dare to approach you like this?”
“You have to smile. Smile! Do you understand??And your makeup isn’t good either. Hurry up, take off your makeup and redo it!?Let your hair down and put on some red lipstick. You have to be feminine, understand!”
“Also, this outfit isn’t right either. It’s all black and doesn’t look good at all. Hurry up and change into a dress! One with a?brighter color!”
Wei Xinyue criticized Ling Xuewei from head to toe, and she was dissatisfied with everything.
Ling Xuewei finally knew what her mother wanted her to look like.
She explained helplessly,?“Mom, I’m going to work, not going on a date.?How can I go to work dressed like that without being professional at all?”
Wei Xinyue said almost arrogantly,?“I don’t care! You can go to work wearing anything you like, but not today!?In any case, I won’t allow you to see Lin Bai like this!”
Ling Xuewei sighed helplessly, feeling extremely regretful.
If she had known this would happen, she would not have told her mother about her meeting with Lin Bai today.
However, she could no longer take back what she had said.
Without a choice, Ling Xuewei could only put on a straight face and say to her mother,?“Mother, I’m going to meet Lin Bai to discuss business. I can’t dress so casually.?I can listen to you on other matters, but this is my job. Please don’t interfere, okay?”
Wei Xinyue heard this and did not stand on ceremony. She immediately turned around and went back to her room.
Ling Xuewei saw that her condition was not right, so she quickly chased after her. As expected, she saw her mother packing her luggage in the room.
She quickly went forward and snatched all the things from her. She scolded,?“Mom, what are you trying to do?”
Wei Xinyue said, “Since you don’t like me and feel that nothing I say is right, I’ll just leave.”
Ling Xuewei immediately felt wronged.
“When have I ever not liked you? It’s just my make-up and outfit. How does that mean that I don’t like you?”
Wei Xinyue used Ling Xuewei’s words to refute her.
“It’s just make-up and your outfit. Why?can’t you listen to me?”
Ling Xuewei was extremely helpless.
“Mom, can you be reasonable? One thing is different from another...”
Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Wei Xinyue.
“I’m unreasonable? Alright, I’ll go!”
As she said this, Wei Xinyue snatched the clothes in Ling Xuewei’s arms back and placed them on the bed to be folded one by one.
As she folded them, she continued to ramble on.
“In any case, I’m uncultured and don’t understand the work of young people like you. I don’t understand anything and what I said doesn’t make sense.?In that case, I’ll leave. I’ll go back and continue wandering!”
“You’ll be at peace after I leave. No one will interfere with what clothes you wear or what makeup you wear in the future. Are you happy now?”
It was obvious that she was deliberately saying it for Ling Xuewei to hear. She was deliberately trying to stab her in the heart. She was deliberately trying to pressure her with familial ties.
Ling Xuewei understood everything, but there was nothing she could do.
In the business world, she could refuse to accept compromising. She could be decisive in killing. She could kick away the people and matters that had a negative impact on her without hesitation.
However, when faced with her biological mother, she had no choice.
She could only raise her hands and surrender.
“Mom, I’ll listen to you.”
Ling Xuewei said helplessly,?“I’ll go change my clothes now and put on some makeup. Don’t go.”
Wei Xinyue then beamed with joy. She stuffed the clothes back into the wardrobe and said to Ling Xuewei with a smile,?“That’s more like it! This is my good daughter!”
“Alright, Alright, don’t just stand there. Hurry back to your room and change your clothes.?There’s something important to do later. Don’t waste time, you can’t be late!”
Ling Xuewei couldn’t smile at all.
She only felt extremely exhausted.
The mother in her memory wasn’t like this.
She had been bitterly yearning for her mother’s love for more than twenty years, but this wasn’t like what she expected either.
Ling Xuewei couldn’t tell how she felt in her heart.
She only felt extremely tired.
Physically and mentally exhausted.
Therefore, she did not say anything else. She silently returned to her room and changed into a red long dress.
Under the contrast of the red dress, Ling Xuewei’s skin was brighter than snow. She was graceful and elegant. She was so beautiful that it could not be described with words.
However, there was not the slightest smile on that delicate and petite face.
She appeared even more aloof and proud.
Ling Xuewei took off her hair clip expressionlessly. She put down her long hair that was tied up and combed it casually with her fingers.
Her long hair was back to its original fluffy state. It had a natural curl, which weakened the cool aura on her body and added a bit of a languid, feminine aura.
She walked out of the room expressionlessly and asked Wei Xinyue,?“Is this okay?”
Wei Xinyue’s eyes were filled with amazement as she repeatedly praised,
“Wow, you look good, you look good! You look really good dressed like this!?Girls should be wearing skirts! Why do you like wearing a suit!?It would be even better if you do your hair well and make your makeup thicker!”
Ling Xuewei did not say anything. She quietly returned to the dressing table, removed her makeup, and repainted. She also used a curling iron to uncurl her hair.
After doing this, her hairstyle became more natural and fluffy, and it also looked more elegant.
Her newly-drawn eyebrows were also more gentle and charming than before.
Her eyes were like clear blue water, shining brightly.
Wei Xinyue watched from the side and repeatedly praised her daughter’s beauty. After dressing up, she looked even more beautiful.
Ling Xuewei listened quietly. She did not say a word, nor did she have any expression.
Wei Xinyue finally noticed that her daughter’s mood did not seem right.
She said, “Little Xue, don’t be angry with me. I’m doing this for your own good.Little Lin is a really good person. Trust me, I’ve lived for so long, and I’m very good at judging people!?If you can attract Lin Bai, I’m sure you won’t be wrong!”
Ling Xuewei interrupted her mother’s words and asked her,?“Mom, is there anything I need to change in my current state??If not, I will go to work now.”
