The daughter was ruthlessly driven out of the wealthy family and went to the countryside

Chapter 1156 On the Eve of the Engagement 2

At five o'clock in the morning, Shen Xuening opened her eyes on time, staring at the white ceiling above. Her eyes were clear, but her mind was a little sluggish...

Am I really getting engaged today?

Is it me who's getting engaged?

Shen Xuening blinked, feeling a little unreal.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, followed by Liu Juan's voice: "Ningning, are you awake? Can Mom come in?"

Shen Xuening got up and replied, "I'm awake, Mom. I'll come and open the door for you."

The door opened, and Shen Xuening let Liu Juan into the room. Just then, Grandma Shen also came over: "Ningning."

So the two of them went into Shen Xuening's room together.

Shen Xuening asked with concern, "Why did you come so early? I just woke up and haven't washed up yet?"

Grandma Shen smiled and said, "I barely slept last night, I was so excited. I figured you'd wake up so I came over. Go wash up, I want to talk to your mother."

Shen Xuening reminded them, "Wait for me a moment, I'm going to the bathroom to shower and wash up. The makeup artist will be here at six o'clock, please open the door."

Grandma Shen nodded: "Okay, go wash up."

Shen Xuening took the clothes and went to the bathroom.

Grandma Shen said to Liu Juan, "When a daughter grows up, she has to get married. I wasn't this excited when Xiao Si got married. I don't know why, but I can't sleep when I think about Xue Ning getting married."

Liu Juan said, "Mom, this is a case of grandparents' affection for their grandchildren."

"Maybe," Grandma Shen nodded. "Are you having trouble sleeping too?"

Liu Juan said, "I slept for a few hours, and woke up at four o'clock. After that, I couldn't fall back asleep. I forced myself to stay awake until five o'clock. As soon as it was past five o'clock, I came to find Ningning. She said she would get up at five o'clock."

The knocking started again.

Grandma Shen and Liu Juan exchanged a glance, then Liu Juan got up to open the door: "Who is it?"

A pleasant, girlish voice came from outside the door: "It's me, Yingying."

Liu Juan opened the door: "Yingying, why are you up so early too?"

"I'm worried about my sister, so I can't fall asleep." Shen Yingying walked into the room and was a little surprised to see her grandmother there. "Grandma, what are you doing here instead of sleeping?"

Grandma Shen smiled and said, "I couldn't sleep either, so I came to watch your sister get ready."

Shen Yingying then sat down next to Grandma Shen: "Grandma, are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"

Grandma Shen said, "The restaurant doesn't open until 6:30. Let's go down for dinner at 6:30."

"Okay." Shen Yingying thought about it and then agreed. She had originally planned to go out to buy breakfast, but her grandmother would definitely not agree, so she simply didn't say anything.

Shen Xuening is always very efficient. She took a shower, washed her hair, and got dressed in half an hour. At the same time, the makeup artist arrived.

The makeup artist, booked by Qin's mother, was a woman in her forties. She was dressed appropriately, had her makeup done well, and walked in gracefully: "Miss Shen."

Shen Xuening nodded in acknowledgment: "Thank you for your help."

"Of course." The makeup artist had Shen Xuening sit in front of the mirror, first blow-drying her hair, then conditioning it. "Miss Shen, your hair is so beautiful."

"My hair has always been in good condition," Shen Xuening said, looking at herself in the mirror.

The makeup artist praised, "I've been doing makeup for over ten years, and this is the first time I've seen hair this good. The hairstyle will definitely look amazing when it's done."

Shen Xuening touched her jet-black hair and said, "My hair has never been permed; it's all natural."

"Perming your hair is very damaging," the makeup artist said. "But people still go for it for the sake of beauty, and it's true that it looks better after a perm."

“It definitely looks much better,” Shen Xuening admitted. “But I don’t like perming my hair, it’s fine as it is.”

The makeup artist said, "Your hair is the best I've ever seen. It's so black, long, straight, and shiny. It's rare to see such hair."

Shen Xuening smiled and said, "Then you'd better make sure your look is nice later."

The makeup artist confidently agreed, "No problem."

The other three watched the makeup artist work with great interest.

Shen Yingying asked curiously, "Sister, what kind of look are we going to have today?"

Shen Xuening pointed at the makeup artist: "I don't know either, it's like opening a blind box."

At this moment, the makeup artist spoke up: "We're doing engagement looks, matching the clothes and accessories. We'll be doing five looks in total, and I've prepared them all."

Shen Yingying said admiringly, "You're really amazing, but is it too late?"

The makeup artist smiled and said, "There's still time. If there wasn't, the Qin family wouldn't have invited me. So don't worry, I'll make sure your sister looks beautiful on her engagement today."

Shen Yingying blinked: "I'm really looking forward to it."

Shen Xuening said, "Yingying, would you like me to do your hair and put on some makeup?"

Shen Yingying shook her head: "I'm not the main character today, so it's better for me to be simple. It's good that you look beautiful in your makeup, and I'll take a picture of you in a bit."

Shen Xuening smiled and said, "That's fine. When you get engaged, I'll personally design and dress you up."

Shen Yingying couldn't help but laugh: "Haha, that's quite a long time."

The makeup artist asked in surprise, "Ms. Shen can also do makeup and styling?"

Shen Xuening answered frankly: "Yes, I have specifically studied it. I have an arts troupe, and if the makeup artist is too busy, I will help with the makeup."

The makeup artist, who also knew about Shen Xuening, sincerely said, "Shen Xuening is really amazing."

Shen Xuening said modestly, "I've only learned a little bit, unlike you guys who have studied it so deeply."

While applying makeup, the makeup artist said, "Makeup isn't that difficult, but it's not that easy either. I think it still requires some talent."

Shen Xuening chimed in, "I think you need some talent to do anything."

The makeup artist worked quickly, drying Shen Xuening's hair and then putting a wind-up hairpiece on her before starting her makeup.

All the cosmetics and makeup tools she used today were brand new. She didn't dare to give Shen Xuening any that others had used, otherwise Qin's mother would be angry, and her future job would be in trouble.

Shen Xuening glanced at it and saw that it was brand new, so she was quite satisfied. Probably no one likes to use things that someone else has used.

The makeup artist stopped talking and focused on applying makeup to Shen Xuening.

However, as she continued drawing, she realized that Shen Xuening's features were so beautiful, and her skin was fair and rosy, that she didn't really need makeup at all; in fact, she felt that makeup was superfluous.

After thinking about it for a while, she made some simple adjustments, and Shen Xuening already looked very, very beautiful.

Looking at the stunningly beautiful Shen Xuening in the mirror, the makeup artist exclaimed in amazement, "Shen Xuening, none of those celebrities are as beautiful as you."

Shen Xuening said jokingly, "Don't let those celebrities hear you say that, or they'll definitely cause you trouble."

The makeup artist said, "There are only a few of us here, so it won't get out."

Shen Yingying said with a smile, "What if we let it slip?"

The makeup artist said, "They won't believe it anyway. Besides, you're not familiar with them, so they won't take it seriously."

Shen Yingying nodded and said, "That's true."

Shen Xuening's makeup is done; next, she'll start styling her hair.

Suddenly, there was another knock on the door. When she opened it, she saw Qin Yaoyao and Yin Yuwen. They had come specifically to see Shen Xuening get her makeup and hair done.

The two greeted Shen Xuening: "Sister Xuening."

Shen Xuening nodded to the two of them, and then said to everyone, "It's seven o'clock now. Go down and have some food. Come back up after you've eaten. The ceremony doesn't start until eleven, so there's still plenty of time."

Shen Yingying asked, "Sister, where are you going after you've done your makeup and hair?"

Shen Xuening replied, "I'm in my room. This hair will take an hour to do, it won't be that quick."

Liu Juan said, "Ningning, we brought you breakfast up. What would you like to eat?"

Shen Xuening thought for a moment: "Two shumai and a glass of milk."

Grandma Shen added, "Let's add another egg. It's so little, you'll digest it quickly. You'll definitely be hungry by the time you have lunch."

Shen Xuening smiled gently: "Okay, I'll listen to Grandma."

The group filed out.

They walked into the restaurant and ran into Grandpa Shen, Shen Dong, Shen Da, and Shen Er, and then arranged to have breakfast together.

"How is Ningning doing?" Grandpa Shen asked with concern.

"It's going well, and Ningning looks especially beautiful today, ten times more beautiful than usual," Grandma Shen said excitedly.

"No wonder she's going to be a bride, she looks so beautiful when she's dressed up," Grandpa Shen said.

"Of course, the bride was the most beautiful person that day," Grandma Shen said.

Shen Yingying asked curiously, "Grandma, did you wear a wedding dress when you got married?"

Grandma Shen waved her hand and recalled for a moment: "In our time, there were no wedding dresses, only wedding gowns. I remember I wore a red dress, the kind of dress worn by ladies in mansions in TV dramas."

Shen Yingying imagined it: "Then I know what style it is. Is it still available?"

Grandma Shen smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's in my dowry chest."

Shen Yingying said, "Then let's go back and take a look, to broaden our horizons."

Grandma Shen readily agreed: "Sure, Grandma will show you later, and you can try it on. When Grandma got married, I was about your age and the size was about the same."

Grandpa Shen said proudly, "Your grandma has a great figure and is especially beautiful. Everyone envied me for marrying such a beautiful bride."

Shen Yingying hugged her grandmother's arm: "My grandmother must be beautiful, otherwise how could she have such a beautiful granddaughter like us?"

Grandpa Shen agreed: "That's true."

Upon arriving at the restaurant, everyone chose their own food and, after finishing, packed a portion for Shen Xuening.

As they went upstairs, Qin's mother came to Shen Xuening's room: "Xuening, wow, you look so beautiful today." She was immediately amazed.

Shen Xuening smiled slightly: "Auntie, you're here."

"You've arrived. I came especially to see you." Qin's mother was wearing a dark red cheongsam today, which accentuated her excellent figure and made her look young. "Xue Ning, has your mother finished getting ready?"
