Chapter 458 The Woman Who Walked Out of a Painting
“Look in the mirror...”
Her brain was blank and she did not know what to do. She was really afraid and worried that her last wish would end in disaster.
“Go on, take a look!”
Before she was even ready, Ye Lingchen had already moved. He picked up the mirror on the dressing table with one hand and stood right in front of her.
BOOM!
At that moment, Qiao Shanshan’s brain exploded like a volcanic eruption. After her mind was blown up, she was completely stunned.
She looked at herself in the mirror with blurry eyes and had a profound sense of disbelief.
“Is the person in this mirror really me?”
She muttered idiotically. Tears filled her eyes and it felt as though the floodgates were on the verge of opening.
“Don’t cry. It’s not good for the makeup to smudge.” Zhang Yunxi reminded Qiao Shanshan immediately after seeing what happened.
She looked at Qiao Shanshan and compared it to the previous look. One could never get tired of the new face, and if she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would have had a hard time believing it was the same person.
Ye Lingchen’s makeup did not restore her original appearance, but he simply added the makeup on her scar.
From the corner of her burned eye was a plum blossom, which spread out and bloomed at the scar. The original wound turned into a background picture that did not feel disconnected at all!
That makeup perfectly transformed Qiao Shanshan’s disadvantage into an advantage, making her entire appearance look like a beauty who came out of a fantasy world.
Although the result did not help Qiao Shanshan restore her appearance, it turned out to be even more shocking than mere restoration of appearance!
Of course, Ye Lingchen did not just put makeup on the scars. He applied makeup on other areas of Qiao Shanshan’s face too. He started from eyeliner, then to the blush and lipstick. It was all done in a very exquisite manner and the plum blossoms blended perfectly with her skin.
“Is this really me?”
Qiao Shanshan held back her tears and curled the corner of her mouth into a smile. She felt that she was more beautiful than before she was disfigured, as her beauty became more awe-inspiring and left a deeper impression on others.
“Face your own shortcomings and they may turn into advantages.” Ye Lingchen smiled. He was very satisfied with his results at that time and said, “Yunxi, you have to remember what I taught you, but practice is the key for detailed makeup. You need to pay more attention to the details and use a finer tipped cosmetic pen.”
“Mm.” Zhang Yunxi nodded.
“By the way, help her curl her hair again and change her into a black lace gown. The results will be even better,” Ye Lingchen instructed and walked straight downstairs without staying for long.
Once those below saw the door open, everyone grunted and became spirited as they stared at Ye Lingchen one by one.
“He’s out!”
“F*ck! How did it turn out? What does the makeup look like now?”
“Why is it only the makeup artist who came out? Where’s Qiao Shanshan?”
“What the hell did they do? Could she have slipped through the back door because the makeup didn’t work?”
Ye Lingchen ignored everyone’s theories and continued walking straight out of the gate. He walked as swiftly as the wind and soon disappeared from everyone’s sight without taking away any attention.
Based on his capabilities alone, no one could stop him.
However, everyone regarded his actions as more of a desperate escape.
“Oh man, he’s running...away?”
“F*ck! No one stopped him just now! He definitely doesn’t know makeup!”
“What rubbish! I knew it was fake. They even had their ‘decay into magic’ and whatnot. PFFT!”
“This shop is a scam. He ran so fast like a cheetah?”
Back at Augea’s headquarters.
The CEO’s mouth twitched slightly and sneered after watching the video. “It was just as I expected. Cosmetics can’t possibly change that scar.”
“Hahaha, Y Cosmetics is finished!”
“With the demise of our rival, we must celebrate tonight!”
“Hahaha, there’s no need to watch it anymore.” The boss was clearly in a good mood and began waving her hand arrogantly. “That’s right, today is a good day. Everyone is allowed to get off work early in the evening. The Swallow Diner, my treat!”
“You’re awesome, Boss!”
“You’re the best, Boss!”
“Long live the boss!”
...
Just as everyone was about to leave, a loud exclamation came from the live video, followed by a raucous commotion.
Y Cosmetics’ second-floor door was seen to swing open yet again.
Zhang Yunxi stepped out, but everyone’s eyes skipped past her and fell on the woman right behind.
That simple glance shocked everyone and nearly caused them to stare until their eyes popped out.
The woman held a folding fan and was dressed in a black long gown. A red ribbon tied her hair up and her appearance leaned toward ancient costumes, lending her a valiant and indomitable look.
“Oh f*ck! Oh f*ck! Oh f*ck! When did such a beautiful woman appear in Y Cosmetics?!”
“No, I’m going to be suffocated by her beauty. I need artificial respiration to live.”
“Damn! Have I traversed to a certain place? This beautiful woman didn’t just come out of an anime, right?”
“It’s so beautiful! No one can do a cosplay like this. It’s practically blinding my eyes.”
“I feel I’ve fallen in love.”
...
It was not only the men who were shocked but the women too. They felt like they were watching a woman walk out from a painting in the style of a reverie.
After all, human beings were visual animals. In an era where information disseminated rapidly, beauties were all too common. Seeing them might elicit some surprise and admiration, but it would not stray too far from the norm. Despite that, the woman in front of them was completely different from ordinary beauties and belonged to an entirely different kind at all, like it was not something that a modern era woman should have.
It was easy to imagine the feeling and impact it had on one’s vision.
After seeing everyone’s reaction, Qiao Shanshan’s heart—which had originally been completely dead—came back to life again. Every woman loved beauty and every woman enjoyed it when others marveled at their beauty.
A smile unwittingly formed at the corners of her lips.
However, the smile had an effect on the plum blossom pattern on her face, adding a hint of charm to the pureness of the flower. In an instant, the entire Y Cosmetics was filled with the sound of rapid heartbeats.
The men present felt their mouths dry up and were helpless to do anything.
“She, she, she can’t be... Qiao Shanshan, right?”
A girl asked carefully and broke the silence after looking at the woman carefully.
One sentence set off a thousand others!
In an instant, stormy waves began billowing in everyone’s hearts!
“Qiao Shanshan?! No way! That’s Qiao Shanshan?!”
“Impossible! How could it be Qiao Shanshan?!”
“The plum blossom covering half of her face seems to be where Qiao Shanshan was burned!”
“F*ck me, this is just amazing! My goddess has become even more of a goddess!”
“I don’t think it’s her. It’s a burn, for goodness sake! It’s impossible for there to be zero traces at all. This is just shocking.”
...
Amidst the flurry of discussions, Qiao Shanshan’s eyes cleared up and brightened once more. She spoke in a crisp voice, “Hello everyone, I’m Qiao Shanshan!”
One sentence alone provided conclusive proof and caused a stir among the crowd...
