May 6th, overcast.
It was the day of the engagement between Emma Xia and Steven Lu.
At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Olivia Xia arrived promptly at the engagement banquet.
The engagement banquet had not officially started yet, but many guests had already arrived, engaged in conversations and toasts.
Emma Xia, dressed in a beautiful long gown with exquisite makeup, looked like a princess, holding Steven Lu's hand, gracefully mingling with the crowd.
Seeing Olivia Xia approaching, she smiled and let go of Steven Lu to greet her. "Olivia Xia, you're here."
Emma Xia held Olivia Xia's hand. "I knew you probably didn't prepare a gown. Come on, big sister had a set prepared for you. Go to the dressing room first, get a makeover, and change into the gown."
Unnecessary flattery often conceals ulterior motives.
Olivia Xia lazily looked at Emma Xia. "No need, I'm fine in this."
"How can that be? Today, all the important figures have come. If you don't dress up a bit, it's impolite in front of others," Emma Xia insisted and led Olivia Xia to the makeup room.
Fine, let's see what tricks they have in store.
Olivia Xia pushed away Emma Xia's hand and followed her slowly.
In the makeup room, two makeup artists were working on Mia Zhao's hairstyle.
Seeing Olivia Xia enter, Mia Zhao immediately smiled. "Olivia Xia is here. Take a seat, let the makeup artist give you a makeover."
Olivia Xia waved her hand. "I don't need makeup."
"How can that be? Today, the women of the Xia family need to look beautiful. Due to time constraints, at least apply some foundation," Mia Zhao said, motioning for Emma Xia and the makeup artist to press Olivia Xia into a chair.
Olivia Xia didn't refuse again. After sitting down, she let the makeup artist apply various products to her face.
About half an hour later, the base makeup was done, and Olivia Xia casually pinned up her hair and placed a small crown on her head. She smiled and asked Emma Xia and Mia Zhao, "Aunt and sister, how does this look?"
Olivia Xia's smile left everyone in the makeup room stunned.
Olivia Xia had always been naturally beautiful with fair, delicate skin, and a well-proportioned figure. She rarely wore makeup and usually dressed casually, giving off a lazy vibe.
Who could have imagined that with a casual makeup look and a little added decoration, she would easily outshine Emma Xia?
Her beauty left even the makeup artists in awe. "Miss Xia, you're too beautiful."
Especially when she smiled mischievously, it was enough to captivate anyone and steal their soul.
Emma Xia's nails dug into her skin as she suppressed her jealousy. She tugged at her lips and said, "I knew Olivia Xia would look stunning with just a little effort. Look at you; you're usually too lazy to dress up."
She handed a glass of water to Olivia Xia. "Take a sip and moisten your throat. I'll get your gown."
Olivia Xia took the glass and held it to her lips for a couple of seconds. Seeing both Mia Zhao and Emma Xia staring at her, she raised her lips slightly, took a sip, and said, "Thank you, sister."
