Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Xu Man would give Lin Rui exactly what she wanted all the time.
When Lin Rui wanted to learn makeup, Xu Man looked for more than ten makeup artists for her, all of whom were experts at doing heavy makeup.
She even bought a ton of makeup and cosmetic products for her.
When Lin Rui grew a little older, she developed a liking for pretty clothes, bags, and shoes.
Hence, Xu Man asked someone to help her purchase plenty of luxury goods from overseas.
Everyone thought that Xu Man was the best stepmother in the world!
She treated Lin Rui better than she treated her own daughter, Lin Xiao!
However, Xu Man also supported Lin Rui unconditionally when the latter picked up smoking, drinking, and getting into fights.
Even in front of Lin Zikang, Xu Man always helped to cover up for Lin Rui!
In short, Xu Man would definitely indulge Lin Rui and support her in whatever she wanted to do, even if it was illegal. She would even deliberately guide her along!
After some time, the former owner Lin Rui even thought that her stepmother was better than her biological father.
Not long ago, the former owner, Lin Rui, was coerced by Xu Man into transferring her shares to the latter!
Fortunately, Lin Zikang knew that his daughter was insensible, and he did not agree to the matter of shares.
He had intended to give those shares to Lin Rui as a coming-of-age gift when she turned eighteen years old.
Hence, Lin Zikang even blamed Xu Man for that.
Xu Man immediately burst into tears uncontrollably and clamored that she didn’t know anything and that Lin Rui was the one who insisted on giving it to her.
Back then, Lin Rui also painstakingly spoke up for her stepmother.
In the end, he had no choice but to let it slip.
The things that Lin Rui’s stepmother Xu Man had done to her…
A ray of light flashed in Lin Rui’s eyes.
The only thing that came to her mind was that Xu Man had ruined her by overindulging her.
Perhaps because Lin Rui had been staring at Xu Man for too long, the latter smiled awkwardly before walking over in a bid to hold Lin Rui.
She said, “Lin Rui, you’ve just regained your consciousness, and you’re still feeble. Hurry and lie down on the bed. If you get injured again, we’ll be really sad.”
Lin Rui paused for a moment, but she didn’t push Xu Man away.
Xu Man felt relieved when she saw that Lin Rui was still behaving the same as before.
Deep down, she was a little jealous of Lin Rui’s beautiful side profile. However, she nevertheless asked in a gentle voice, “Lin Rui, why did you cut your hair so short? The long hair you had previously was so pretty. Girls look prettier with long hair.”
“You think I looked good the way I did before?” Lin Rui asked rhetorically.
“Yeah, haven’t you always liked it?” Xu Man nodded.
Lin Rui finally understood how the former owner’s eye-catching makeup came about.
In addition to the former owner’s somewhat warped beauty standards, her stepmother Xu Man was also a huge part of the reason.
Although Xu Man was very scheming, Lin Rui had at least lived for hundreds of years and obviously wouldn’t be afraid of her.
Lin Rui smirked, but the gaze in her eyes was very innocent.
She said, “Oh, Auntie Xu, since you like that look, why don’t you also perm your hair tomorrow and dye it the colors of the rainbow? Get the same makeup too as I had too. Anyway, those makeup artists were hired by you, so you can just get them to do your makeup.”
“I…” The expression on Xu Man’s face stiffened.
She happened to look up and notice the apprehension in Lin Zikang’s eyes.
Xu Man chuckled awkwardly and frantically said, “Ah, you youngsters like being hipsters, but I can’t pull off that style. I’m too old for it.”
“Oh, you are quite old. Indeed, you’re not suitable for that kind of look. Why don’t you let Lin Xiao doll herself up that way?”
Xu Man was about to lose her smile.
‘Is this damned girl going to keep at it on and on?’
