Kapitel 39: Preparation
Redakteur: Henyee Translations
Five days of preparation wasn't short, but there were too many things to set up, so time passed quickly.
The Shi family's villa was bought in the villa area for convenience's sake. The Shi family's ancestral home was more like a huge manor. It had an independent horse farm and a beach.
The main residence was a small European-style castle that stood in the middle of the courtyard. Although it wasn't a permanent residence, someone cleaned it regularly, so there was no dust or mess at all. Instead, it had a sense of history and beauty to it.
Zhou Yan had been busy following Yuan Shu around during this period of time to ensure that the banquet was foolproof. At this moment, Yuan Shu was preparing for tonight's banquet.
The maid held expensive gowns for Yuan Shu to choose from. However, time was tight after all, so these gowns were all they had now. The gowns had never been worn and were custom-made according to the Host's preferences. They were gorgeous but not tasteful enough.
As Yuan Shu looked at the clothes made from organza chiffon yarn, she felt a headache.
In the past, the clothes she wore were made of Nanjing Cloud Brocade. Without the need for light, just the swaying of her feet would cause her to sway and glow. Many embroidery maids were needed to embroider the intricate butterflies and flowers.
Now, none of these so-called clothes made by a so-called master were pleasing to the eye.
Zhao Mian accompanied her to choose a gown. Seeing that Yuan Shu had asked the maid to take out all the clothes, she couldn't help but ask, "Madam, are these clothes unsuitable?"
Yuan Shu sat back in her chair and said, "Yes." She couldn't possibly say, "Go buy two sets of Hanboks."
Yuan Shu didn't imagine that there would be such a huge difference in aesthetics. She had seen gorgeous evening gowns in television dramas, so why was the Host's taste so bad?
"Why don't I help you contact a styling team now?" Zhao Mian suggested. If Yuan Shu continued to choose, the banquet would probably be delayed.
"Go, be more prepared. Bring a makeup artist and hairstylist over here as well."
Hearing that she agreed, Zhao Mian went to make a call. For a moment, she felt that Yuan Shu was becoming more and more like Shi Xiao.
She was calm, composed, and decisive, but she didn't waste time on trivial matters.
Chu Mei and her manager were anxiously looking around the airport for someone.
"It's this flight, right?" Seeing that many people had already walked out of the airport one after another, but she had yet to see the person she was waiting for, Chu Mei couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"It's this class. Sister Chu, do you think that person is Shi Yi?"
The night she received Chu Mei's news, Shi Yi bought a plane ticket and rushed back overnight.
After confirming her identity, the manager went up to Shi Yi. However, Shi Yi got into the van without even looking at him and met Chu Mei, who was sitting in the back.
"Hello, Miss. I'm Chu Mei." Chu Mei felt extremely uncomfortable under Shi Yi's gaze and stammered a greeting, only to receive a cold snort from Shi Yi.
"I can't believe that my brother has such bad taste in women. He even likes trash like you?" Shi Yi's tone was mocking as she sized up Chu Mei without hiding it. "Are you planning to wear this to the banquet? You won't even be able to enter the door."
Chu Mei had suffered too much ridicule recently and had long developed an immunity to it. She continued to smile at Shi Yi and said, "But things have to be resolved, right? Since you're back, it means that you're still concerned."
Shi Yi didn't retort or respond to her. She simply put on her sunglasses and leaned against the car door to rest.
Chu Mei secretly heaved a sigh of relief. As expected of a member of the Shi family, they were all so hard to please.
Before she could sigh in relief, she heard a cold voice from the side. "If you breathe so loudly, then don't breathe."
As expected of Shi Xiao's right-hand woman. The people Zhao Mian found were all top-notch in the industry.
It took more than four hours before they finished Yuan Shu's styling. They even gave her a manicure. Now, she was drinking tea while the makeup artist beside her waited to apply lipstick.
After Yuan Shu put down her cup, it was already six o'clock. It was time to set off for the ancestral home.
Shi Lu's styling was already finished and he was waiting for Yuan Shu outside the door. Just as he was getting impatient from waiting and was about to knock on the door to ask Yuan Shu how long it would take, the door suddenly opened. Yuan Shu thanked the person beside her with a smile.
Shi Lu suddenly held his breath. In the next second, he walked forward and extended his arm to Yuan Shu.
"Let's go, Aphrodite."
