Bab 33: Dress up

Time passed, and before anyone knew it, the day of birthday party had arrived.

The banquet started at 7 o'clock, so the guests were expected to arrive at the Qin villa before that time. The Qin family, as the host, had to prepare and receive the guests.

In her room, Qin Muran had already changed into her dress. As the main star of the night, she had to look her best, so she'd even specially invited a stylist to come over and do her makeup.

In the meantime, Qin Yan had picked out a long dress that would be suitable for the banquet. She'd bought it with Qin Mufeng's card the day when he took her shopping.

It was a good thing that she'd predicted that Lu Yaran and Qin Muran would use such an important occasion to squash her down, which was why she'd bought a few suitable dresses in advance.

It just so happened that she would be wearing them today. It was just not as grand as Muran's dress, but it was definitely suitable for attending the banquet. It would not be rude to others.

Muran, for her part, was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, admiring her unique style of dress. The more she looked at it, the more satisfied she was.

She had no doubt that she would surpass Qin Yan ruthlessly.

She would let people know that she was the real daughter of the Qin family. Even if Qin Yan was the eldest daughter, there was no way she could present herself properly when compared to her.

"Where's my sister? Has she not changed her clothes yet?" Qin Muran pretended to be curious and asked.

She could not wait to see Qin Yan dressed like a bumbling village woman. Usually, Qin Yan always wore baggy clothes and ran around every day. She had never seen her in a dress before.

Qin Muran could already imagine how much Qin Yan would stick out like a sore thumb.

Lu Yaran also urged through the door, "Qin Yan, have you changed?"

"Yes." Qin Yan's emotionless voice came from behind the door. She didn't need to see them to know that Lu Yaran and her daughter were just waiting to see her embarrass herself.

She pushed the door open and walked out.

Qin Muran was stunned when she saw what Qin Yan was wearing. While she hadn't picked out a knee-length dress like Muran herself had, she was wearing floor-length dress, which made her look elegant and graceful.

The shoulder straps were slightly wide, but were just narrow enough to display Qin Yan's exquisite and distinct collarbone, including the slightly protruding bones on her shoulders, which made her shoulders appear thinner and delicate. She was wearing high heels, which accentuated her 1.7 metres height.

Qin Muran looked at Qin Yan with an ugly expression on her face. Because Qin Yan wore her usual baggy clothes everyday, Qin Muran could not determine how much weight Qin Yan had lost.

Although she appeared slimmer, but her clothes hid her actual figure. This made everyone think that Qin Yan was still fat.

But at this moment, Qin Yan looked utterly stunning.

Even Mufeng had to admit that when the two sisters stood side-by-side, it was obvious that Qin Yan looked superior.

Qin Muran was barely 1.6 metres tall whereas Qin Yan was more than 1.7 metres tall. After wearing high heels, Qin Muran was almost half a head shorter than Qin Yan.

Moreover, because of exercising daily, Qin Yan's posture was straight while Qin Muran's posture was slightly slumped. Other than the mask on her face, Qin Yan looked absolutely stunning.

It could only be said that the two of them were dressed in a way suited their respective personalities.

But no matter what, Qin Muran would never admit that Qin Yan was better looking than her.

Her heart was filled with jealousy, and she could only delude herself into thinking that Qin Yan had just so happened to dress in a way that wasn't torture on the eyes.

Qin Yicheng hadn't expected Qin Yan, who was so fat and ugly, to look like this when she lost weight.

He nodded in satisfaction at Qin Yan's outfit. "Not bad."

Qin Yicheng thought of the banquet tonight, and his face darkened as he instructed Qin Yan, "You are different from Muran. You have rarely interacted with people in our circle, and your etiquette and manners are not up to standard. It's easy for people to laugh at you, which will make our family lose face. So, tonight, you will follow your mother. Just follow behind her and don't say anything so that you don't make a fool of yourself. If anyone talks to you, let your mother deal with them. Don't open your mouth so easily."

Qin Yan didn't want to argue with Yicheng so she simple nodded affirmatively.
