Chapter 257: Pretty Boy Should Keep His Mouth Shut

Chapter 257: Pretty Boy Should Keep His Mouth Shut

“Dad, I’m still growing. I could be this much taller by tomorrow.” Tan Mo raised her hand up a distance above her head.

“I’ll only be able to wear this dress once. When I grow taller, it won’t fit me anymore. If we buy both, the other dress will be too small before I ever get to wear it,” she said.

Wei Zhiqian, who was listening to the conversation, laughed when he heard what Tan Mo had said.

Tan Mo heard him.

She turned her head and glared at him.

“Uncle, you laughed at me!” She didn’t want him to think that she hadn’t heard it.

Wei Zhiqian raised his eyebrows and said, “I don’t think you need to worry at the speed you’re growing.

“Girls grow the fastest between 12 and 15. The speed of growth slows after this period. During this rapid development period, you only grew a little bit.” Wei Zhiqian lowered his head to a very low height and shook his head at Tan Mo, as if he were looking down at her short stature.

“You’re only going to grow a tiny bit more.” Wei Zhiqian gestured with his fingers, pinching a space between them to show a height not much bigger than an inch. “After you’re 18, any growth you have will barely be noticeable.

“With the speed that your growth has been up to now, you probably won’t grow much anymore.” Wei Zhiqian felt that he definitely shouldn’t let his favorite little girl, Tan Mo, harbor any unrealistic fantasies. It’s always better to be honest and explain the facts clearly.

It’s not bad for people to have hope.

However, if it’s not possible to turn the hope into a reality, then it isn’t hope anymore, but should be called a dream.

Tan Mo puffed out her cheeks in anger. “Uncle! You are going to make me mad!”

Wei Zhiqian: “……”

“I’m telling you that it is all right to buy both dresses.” Wei Zhiqian was confused. Tan Mo is so intelligent, but she did not understand what he was trying to tell her.

“No!” Tan Mo said in a huff. “I only want to buy one dress. Only one!”

The store staff: “……”

This Wei Zhiqian was causing trouble.

The staff had originally wanted to sell both dresses.

In this way, they would have hit their sales targets for the month ahead of time.

In the end though, Wei Zhiqian had to get involved and screw everything up.

Really, if he didn’t know what to say to a girl, he just shouldn’t speak.

‘You will still be a pretty boy if you keep your mouth shut!’

Tan Mo eventually chose the dress with the transparent hem, the design that changed colors according to the lighting, and at the same time bought the pair of shoes the store staff had recommended.

Throughout this process, Tan Mo was obviously angry and ignoring Wei Zhiqian.

Xiao Menghan rolled her eyes at Wei Zhiqian exasperatedly.

If he could anger his closest friend with that blunt mouth of his, how could he be expected to find a partner in the future for himself?

There was still a chance only if he could keep his mouth shut.

Wei Zhiqian: “……”

Even the clumsy Wei Zhiqian could tell that Tan Mo was angry.

After pondering for a while about the situation, he decided that he would secretly pay for Tan Mo’s dress and shoes and give them to her as an apology.

Even though he really had no idea about what he had done wrong…

Anyway, Tan Mo was angry, and the right thing to do was to try to pacify her.

Who knew that Tan Jinqi had instructed his family members at home earlier.

They must have their guard up against Wei Zhiqian.

Now that they saw that Wei Zhiqian was indeed behaving oddly, Tan Jinqi led his brothers, and they surrounded Wei Zhiqian.

Tan Jinqi was concerned about his image, so he only blocked Wei Zhiqian’s way.

Tan Jinsheng and Tan Jinyi did not have any such concerns.

Tan Jinsheng wrapped both his arms around Wei Zhiqian’s shoulders, and Tan Jinyi threw his around Wei Zhiqian’s waist.

With their faces wearing expressions of sacrificing their lives for righteousness, their shouts were directed at Tan Wenci. “Dad! We will hold him back. Hurry! Go and pay for Tan Mo’s purchases.”

“All right!” Tan Wenci already had his wallet in his hand. He quickened his pace to the counter and took out a card from his wallet, passed it to the staff, and did not forget to urge them, “Hurry! Hurry!”

Xiao Menghan: “……”

The store staff: “……”

Is this how the Tan family acts?

Xu Mingzhen’s face twitched, and then she covered her face in shame.

If she had known that this would happen, she would not have allowed them to come shopping with her.

Eventually, the matter was concluded with Tan Wenci’s successful payment. He had personally bought the dress and shoes for his precious daughter.

The party of eight then went to a restaurant for lunch.

“Right, has a makeup artist been found for Tan Mo for when she attends the awards ceremony?” Xiao Menghan brought up this subject as they were chatting over lunch.

“Not yet.” Xu Mingzhen looked worried. “I’m not used to these kind of occasions. I apply my own makeup when I attend banquets or similar events. However, it would probably be better to find a professional for this, as the ceremony is televised.”

“Then I can recommend one.” Xiao Menghan smiled. “Have you heard of Liu Jingping?”

“Of course,” Xu Mingzhen exclaimed excitedly. “I love to watch makeup videos. I’ve learned a lot. Who hasn’t heard of Liu Jingping? He was the makeup artist of ‘Legend of Wei and Jin.’ He only accepted the job of ‘Legend of Wei and Jin’ because it was a drama of great scale. He said he wouldn’t even consider accepting jobs for other dramas. The only jobs he does are for films of established directors. And he picks and chooses which films he’s interested in.

“I’ve seen his videos on various social media channels, and his techniques are amazing. After the makeup is applied, it is so natural that it seems not much was changed, yet it has the effect of almost plastic surgery.” Xu Mingzhen understood it very well.

Xiao Menghan smiled. “I am familiar with him and could ask him to do Tan Mo’s makeup. What do you think?”

“That would be great!” Xu Mingzhen wasn’t uptight like the men in her family and was happy to receive this favor.

Her Mo Mo deserved the best makeup artist there was.

Xu Mingzhen knew some makeup artists, but she didn’t think that they were good enough for her daughter’s debut on the red carpet.

She wasn’t shy to say that with Mo Mo’s face, Mo Mo could be described as an alluring beauty.

What if a makeup artist that she engaged was not up to par and ruined Mo Mo’s small, beautiful face. In that case, what would they do?

“Then the matter is settled. I asked for his schedule last night and confirmed that he is free on the day of the event,” Xiao Menghan said. “This is why I dared to mention this to you.”

The way Xiao Menghan handled things was meticulous.

“I will tell him now so that he isn’t engaged by anyone else. He is in a lot of demand for these kind of events. Many popular female celebrities have contacted him. They are all dying to snap up his services,” Xiao Menghan said as she took out her phone.

Xu Mingzhen stared at her nervously.

What Xiao Menghan said made sense.

Xiao Menghan called Liu Jingping on the spot and asked if he was booked yet.

“Indeed, I’ve had a few queries.” Liu Jingping looked at the names on his tablet. “All of which are for the Tulip Awards Ceremony…”

“Have you decided on anyone yet?” Xiao Menghan asked.

“Not yet. I need to consider this carefully. There are a few who are my friends, so it’s not going to be easy either way, no matter who I agree to or decline.”
