Chapter 145 - 145 Are all people with the surname Lin so beautiful?

145 Are all people with the surname Lin so beautiful?

Lin Wan was flustered.

She wanted to run out of the bedroom, but she realized that the Cheongsam was too constricting. In the end, she was only able to walk in small steps toward the courtyard.

The breakfast Li Zexin had made consisted of some sandwiches and a pot of water. He had wanted to fry eggs. He had wasted three eggs trying to fry them. He failed to separate the shells from the eggs, so he had given up.

He had picked some tomatoes from the yard. He had cut them into thick slices and squeezed some tomato sauce on the bread. It was the first time he had cut a tomato, so the juices had spurted everywhere.

!!

He didn’t even want to eat the sandwich he had made. He had then watched a tutorial video and picked a few mint leaves to upgrade them. He had also shaped the corners of the bread to make them look good.

The boy placed the bowl with the sandwiches on the stone table in the yard. Lin Wan washed her hands and walked to the table. “What is this? A new product?”

Li Zexin turned around. “Ms. Lin?! Is that really you? Wow! You look stunning! Who even is Lin Huiyin, the founder of Modern China. Next in line is Lin Wan!”

Lin Wan patted li Zexin’s shoulder. “Don’t exaggerate!” she smiled. “Did you make this?”

“Yes. Do they look good? Which one do you want? The square ones, or the rectangular ones or the triangular ones?” Li Zexin pushed the bowl toward Lin Wan. “I will get you a stool to sit on. Don’t eat yet! I put in a lot of tomatoes. They might fall out and stain your dress.”

Lin Wan was gazing intently at the large bowl. The bread slices were all dented. Some of the tomatoes were still green, and there were small thin, green leaves protruding from the middle. She hesitated. “Can this be eaten?”

“It might not look good, but they are clean and filling. The bread was from yesterday, and I picked the tomatoes fresh from the yard this morning. They are green and healthy!” Li Zexin picked up a sandwich and took a big bite. He liked the ingredients separately so she thought they would taste just as good when put together.

He chewed, frowned and spat out the food. “Why is this so sour?”

Lin Wan removed the top bread to reveal green and red tomatoes inside. Most were green. The tomatoes weren’t ripe enough to taste sweet.

Lin Wan ate the sandwich to not waste the food.

“I even picked the biggest ones!” Li Zexin poked at the unripe tomatoes that were in the bread.

“It’s alright. Just sprinkle some powdered sugar on the tomatoes and put them in the refrigerator. They will be sweet after a few hours,” said Lin Wan.

“Really?” Li Zexin, who was feeling guilty for wasting food, grinned at the information.

“Whose child made such delicious food?” After tidying up the room, Li Yanchen walked out to the courtyard as well.

“Oh please, dad! This is better than the porridge you make every day. At least I have a different style. I will go get Jiejie.”

…

In the Festival Group office, Su Hong had packed her makeup box and was about to go to the Li family house. She opened the door and saw Li Zexuan approaching.

“Good morning, Teacher Su.” Li Zexuan greeted her warmly.

“Xuanxuan?”

“I came to get you.”

“I was just about to go to your house.” The makeup artist closed the door and walked to the Li family’s house with Li Zexuan.

Li Zekai washed his hands and was about to pick a sandwich to eat.

“Wait, brother Xuanxuan isn’t back yet!” said Li Zexin.

Little Li Zekai withdrew his hands.

“Is Xuanxuan still sleeping?” Li Yanchen looked around the courtyard. He did not see his eldest son.

“Big brother woke up a long time ago. He had something to do. He will be back soon.” Li Zexin looked outside the courtyard.

After a while, Li Zexuan pushed open the door and walked in, followed by the makeup artist.

“Big brother.” Li Zekai waved his little hand.

Li Yanchen was confused. So was Lin Wan.

“Who is this?” asked Li Yanchen.

“This is the makeup artist of the Festival Group, Ms. Su. We invited her to do Ms. Lin’s makeup for today,” explained Li Zexuan.

“Ms. Lin, the Cheongsam really looks perfect on you. It’s even prettier than the one worn by the big stars in the “‘The Tempestuous Republic of China,” said Li Zexuan.

Although Lin Wan was seated and Li Zexuan could only see her torso, he thought she looked stunning.

The makeup artist was also in awe. She had done makeup for many celebrities, but she also felt that no one was more beautiful than Lin Wan.

“It’s already seven. Let’s start,” said Li Zexin, looking at the time.

When Lin Wan was escorted to a tiny bench nearby, she was still in a daze.

“Ms. Lin, the outfit indeed suits you perfectly.” Teacher Su praised her.

The other four members of the Li family sat in a row and watched her intently as she put on her makeup. After about twenty minutes, Teacher Su stood up. “It’s done. Perfect!”

The four of them forgot how to blink.

Although Lin Wan’s makeup was quite light, it maintained its charm. Her naturally curly hair wasn’t tied in a bun but hung loosely over her shoulders. Her straightforward appearance had a sense of flair. She had morlandi-colored eyeshadow and a retro-red lipstick on.

“Ms. Lin definitely will be the brightest star today! Alright, I need to head back.” Su Hong was quite satisfied with her work.

“Thank you, Teacher Su.” Everyone said together.

At eight, the live broadcast started. The fans who craved gossip and rumors were already waiting early in the live stream rooms. When they saw that it was finally on-air, they became lively.

[Has Ji Hanzhi arrived?]

[I don’t think so. They will definitely broadcast her arrival.]

[I’m so looking forward to it! According to the tradition of the Festival Group, all families have to go to the village entrance to welcome her.]

[You are talking about the Li family, right?]

[Of course, I welcome the new love rival. The Festival Group is too mean.]

[She’s just a guest on the same stage. It’s not that deep. Everyone, don’t try to stir up trouble here.]

[That’s right! We each earn our own money. We all know how much Ji Hanzhi likes Li Yanchen, but no one has ever confirmed whether Li Yanchen also likes Ji Hanzhi. Li Yanchen definitely loves Lin Wan.]

[That means Ji Hanzhi is just here to make trouble.]

[Let’s watch.]

Everyone got up early and dressed up. No one wanted to be overshadowed because everyone knew about Ji Hanzhi’s past.

Tao Jingyuan’s hair was tied up in a tight bun. She wore a white shirt and suit pants. She looked like a very competent and professional lawyer.

For the first time, Nannan’s family did not wear matching outfits. Nannan wore a black dress, Wheatley wore a purple T-shirt, and Michael wore a white T-shirt with a pair of floral shorts.

Xia Mo, on the other hand, was wearing a large T-shirt and her hair casually draped over her shoulders.

Lin Wan turned her back to the camera. She was always very casual. But after what her stepsons had done today for her, she felt that the viewers would think she had purposely dressed up because she was afraid to lose to Ji Hanzhi.

[There’s no one in the Li family’s livestream room. It’s just a blurry pink figure. Could that be Lin Wan?]

[Good morning, sisters!]

[Good morning!]

[Xuanxuan, where are you?]

“All families, please pay close attention. Our flying guest is about to arrive. Please congregate at the village entrance.”

The announcement commenced.
