Time Travel Article: Tool Man Rejects Plot

Chapter 212 Turning decay into magic

Xu Xiwen looked up expectantly.

Gu Mingyue said with a malicious look, "What? Do you want to know?"

The other party nodded desperately.

What he got in return was... "Hey, keep it a secret!"

Xu Xiwen yelled madly, "Ah...Gu Mingyue, you're going too far!!!"

"Surprises must be immediate to be effective. Knowing it in advance is not a big surprise. Well, it's getting late, you should go home quickly. I guess you have a lot of things to do over there, so Lu Xue and I will go shopping alone tomorrow and not take you. Friendly reminder, if you believe me, ask your mother to turn down the makeup artist."

Xu Xiwen's eyes lit up. "The surprise you're talking about is finding a makeup artist with more sophisticated skills?"

Gu Mingyue asked mysteriously, "Are you really worried...hahaha, I won't tell you."

Xu Xiwen pouted to show her unhappiness. Knowing that the man was tight-lipped, she couldn't get any information from him. She shook her head and left angrily.

Soon the wedding day arrived, and Gu Mingyue came to the door early in the morning.

This made the Xu family very confused and they didn't understand what she was going to do.

She took out the makeup props she had prepared in advance and pulled Xu Xiwen, who was still sleepy, to sit in front of the dressing table.

Although Sun Manni was worried about something going wrong, she still listened to her daughter and explained to the master that the young people were having fun on their own and they, the adults, did not want to spoil their fun, so as an apology, they paid the agreed compensation in full.

Only a fool would disagree if he could get paid without working.

Although Sun Manni agreed, she was actually prepared for both situations. If the makeup wasn't done well, she had a makeup artist ready to take over.

To be honest, she became even more unsure when she saw that it was Gu Mingyue who did it herself.

But at the same time, she understood that this girl was no longer the same as before, and her husband repeatedly told her to maintain a good relationship with her.

She vaguely knew that Gu Mingyue had contributed to Kejian's promotion. Although she didn't know the specific reason, she had to appreciate it.

Besides, the other person is her daughter's best friend, and it is not reasonable for her to embarrass him in person.

I used the excuse of preparing breakfast for the two of them, so I just turned off the sight and turned off the mind...

Gu Mingyue went to buy a paint palette yesterday, and secretly poured some foundation, eye shadow, highlighter and the like in the space into it, to make a hasty cover-up.

She didn't plan to wear that kind of modern wedding makeup, because that was all for looking good on stage and in the video, and it wouldn't be used in real life, so she just wore natural makeup.

Don't underestimate this makeup, it requires more skills than heavy makeup.

In her previous life, Gu Mingyue learned makeup. When she learned this makeup, it took her quite a while to get the teacher’s evaluation that she was qualified.

Her skills are not comparable to those of senior makeup artists, but she is quite confident that she can handle the occasion.

After fiddling with Xu Xiwen's face for a long time, the latter was half asleep and half awake, and only woke her up with a "OK" sound.

There was no need for a wake-up call. She stared blankly at the person in the mirror, and her mind suddenly became clear.

The screams attracted the Xu family who were busy downstairs, and soon the house was crowded with people.

Sun Manni was preparing a fruit plate when she heard the noise. She thought to herself that something was wrong, thinking that her makeup had failed. She hurried upstairs, wanting to comfort her daughter and stop her from getting angry. She must not let her daughter down.

Who would have thought that after seeing her, she would be stunned and say, "Oh my god, are you still my daughter?"

Xu Xiwen held her face in her hands and said intoxicatedly, "Mom, don't say it. This is the first time I realize that I am so beautiful. God, Gu Mingyue, is there anything you can't do?"

Sun Manni exclaimed, "It really is a miracle."

The adults in the Xu family were still quite reserved, but the younger ones were eager to try. They all approached and asked, "Sister Mingyue, how did you put on makeup so beautifully? Can you help us do one too? Don't worry, we will never steal your skills and just pretend to be beautiful."

Xu Xiwen immediately stopped him, "No, I am the protagonist today. You all look so good in your makeup, who would want to see the bride? No, no, you can't put on makeup."

Sun Manni was also worried that their words would offend Gu Mingyue. After all, it was a skill, so how could she just do makeup casually? So she said, "Don't make trouble, people will come soon, you have to help with the reception, you don't have time to put on makeup. Besides, the wedding sign on the door hasn't been posted yet, if I put on makeup, who will help me? I gave you red envelopes in advance, you can't just accept gifts and not do anything."

The recipients of the gifts could only go downstairs reluctantly to do the work, and finally the matter was resolved.

After everyone left, Xu Xiwen apologized, "Mingyue, I'm sorry, they didn't mean it, please don't mind it."

Gu Mingyue didn't care. Her cosmetics were slightly different from those sold currently, and it was not easy to apply them on others casually. That was why she didn't respond. It was not because she was afraid that someone would steal her advice.

To be honest, she had spent a long time learning this thing in later generations, and she really didn't believe that anyone could learn it just by looking at it once.

If there really is such a genius, she would guarantee to teach him everything she knows since he is so rare. Talent is so precious!

"It's okay. My craftsmanship is so perfect. It would be abnormal if they were not moved. How about this surprise, bride?"

Xu Xiwen couldn't help taking pictures again and again, "I wish I could grow into the mirror and just look at the beautiful girl inside."

Gu Mingyue said speechlessly, "Can we not be so narcissistic? It's too scary."

Sun Manni came in with a tray and said enthusiastically, "You haven't eaten yet, come and fill your stomach."

Eating delicious dumplings, drinking porridge, and eating pickled vegetables, Xu Xiwen wondered, "Why isn't Xiaoxue with you?"

Gu Mingyue replied while eating, "She went to prepare a wedding gift for you."

"She hid it from me before, didn't you see it? Tell me secretly."

Gu Mingyue shook her head and said, "I don't know about that either. He should be here soon. Why are you in such a hurry?"

When Sun Manni came in with the fruit plate again, she said, "Aunt, I see your hair is not done yet. If you trust my skills, I can help you with it."

Sun Manni was delighted but embarrassed. "Will it be too much trouble for you?"

Before Gu Mingyue could say anything, Xu Xiwen took the lead and said, "Mom, your expression clearly shows that you really want it. Your rejection is so fake."

Sun Manni couldn't help but glared at her. "Don't think I can't deal with you just because you get married."

Xu Xiwen begged for mercy wisely, "Mother, I know I was wrong."

Gu Mingyue made a French bun according to her temperament and attire, and simply trimmed her eyebrows, added highlights and blush, and her complexion suddenly became different, delicate and classy.

No woman can refuse to become beautiful. Sun Manni said excitedly, "Thank you so much."

"You're too polite. It's just a small skill, not worth mentioning. You helped me a lot with the newspaper earlier. Now I have a chance to repay you, I'm more than happy to do it."

Hearing Gu Mingyue's words, Sun Manni couldn't stop the admiration in her eyes.

She understood why her husband valued this girl so much. She was grateful but not overly flattering, and she was always careful about the degree of kindness. Her generous and calm personality made it difficult for people not to look at her differently...
