Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 253: Both Heavy Makeup and Light Makeup Suit Her

Feeling the comfortable embossed texture of the name on the invitation, Gu Xinyan smiled knowingly.

She tucked her disheveled bangs behind her ear and asked nervously, "The Qinghai Company’s luncheon will be packed with movie stars. What should I wear? Is this outfit okay? I need to dress prettier and leave a good impression on them."

Xu Xiangbei sighed internally, silly girl, in that kind of setting, the impression you make isn’t solely about what you wear.

Becoming the leading actress, she immediately becomes precious. If she’s not dressed well, people will claim she’s a natural beauty with a bare face. If she doesn’t get the leading role, no matter how beautifully she’s dressed, they might say she’s just a pretty face who relies on looks.

Actually, Xu Xiangbei didn’t want Gu Xinyan to appear at the luncheon. Attending the luncheon was a facade; the real reason was a boxing match with the Boxing King from Three Lions Productions. He wouldn’t have time to take care of her and feared she might be in danger.

But seeing her so excitedly picking outfits to attend the luncheon, he couldn’t bear not to take her.

"During the luncheon, I might not be able to accompany you. I’ll ask Ouyang Jiahui to keep you company."

Gu Xinyan glared at him skeptically, "Where are you planning to go? Did you fall for another beauty and want to go on a date? You’re so irresponsible, leaving me alone at the luncheon? You promised my sister you’d accompany me throughout."

Xu Xiangbei smiled wryly, unable to explain, "There will be a boxing match during the luncheon, and I have to participate, not going to date beauties."

Gu Xinyan’s clear eyes sparkled with excitement and curiosity, "A boxing match? Can I go watch?"

Xu Xiangbei smiled and persuaded, "You should attend the celebrity-packed luncheon; it will be helpful for your future acting career. Watching me fight is meaningless."

Gu Xinyan blinked her big eyes, believing Xu Xiangbei’s words, "Then you must win! If you win the match, I get the leading role. We’ll both work hard together."

"We’ll work hard together."

Xu Xiangbei dialed Ouyang Jiahui’s phone, "President Huang invited us to a luncheon at Qinghai Company at noon. I have some personal business, so I can’t take full care of Gu Xinyan, and since this started because of you, you have to come and help me take care of her."

Upon learning she was to accompany Gu Xinyan to Qinghai Film Company’s luncheon, Ouyang Jiahui was delighted.

Although she was the editor-in-chief of a well-known fashion magazine, she was only entrenched in the fashion world. In the eyes of President Huang at Qinghai Film Company, she was just a minor editor, not a mainstream media journalist, without the credentials to attend such gatherings.

These luncheons were mostly attended by stars, celebrities, and mainstream media personnel. If she could blend in, dig up celebrity gossip, and secure exclusive news, she’d hit the jackpot.

She suppressed her excitement and pretended, "You mean Qinghai Film’s luncheon? Heh, I attend these luncheons often, and I’m tired of going. No choice, I’m a celebrity too, they all vie to invite me. Just now, a film company invited me to their event, but no matter. For my friendship with my little sister, I decided to forgo other’s invitation to accompany Gu Xinyan this once."

Catching Ouyang Jiahui’s masked pride, Xu Xiangbei deliberately teased her, laughing, "Stop pretending with me. I’ll give you twenty minutes. If you’re not back at the apartment in twenty minutes, you don’t need to go."

Ouyang Jiahui immediately panicked, "Don’t burn bridges. I recommended Gu Xinyan for the audition. It takes at least twenty-five minutes to get from my company to the apartment. You have to wait for me."

"Let’s see what mood I’m in."

Just two minutes after hanging up, urgent knocks were heard on the door. Could Ouyang Jiahui have arrived so quickly? Did she fly here?

Upon opening the door, Xu Xiangbei’s eyes lit up. Xiao Lin, with blue crystal-like eyes, was gazing at him. She wore a light blue lace long dress, wrapping her graceful and charming figure.

Xiao Lin smiled, raising her slender, fair hands, saying, "Nothing to do with me; Jia Hui asked me to monitor you all. Before she arrives, no one can leave."

Xu Xiangbei glanced at Xiao Lin’s full and elegant bust, grinning wickedly, "Then come in and monitor me, follow me to the bedroom. You can watch however you want."

Detecting the suggestiveness in Xu Xiangbei’s words, Xiao Lin shot him a glare, "Dream on, you big pervert."

She saw Gu Xinyan measuring outfits in front of the mirror, mostly white muslin dresses brought from Jiangcheng.

Xiao Lin’s eyes twinkled with amusement, "Xin Yan, you look so pretty. Are you attending an important luncheon?"

Gu Xinyan was worried about what to wear. Seeing Xiao Lin fluttering over like a swallow, she raised her eyebrows and joyfully exclaimed, "Sister Xiao Lin, you’re a model, help me pick a few outfits. It’s my first time attending a luncheon, and I heard there will be many celebrities. I can’t lose face."

Xiao Lin laughed so much her big eyes became slits, "You’ve found the right person to help pick your outfits."

She carefully looked at Gu Xinyan’s clothes, her flawlessly beautiful face expressing helplessness, shaking her head regretfully.

Although these clothes were branded, they weren’t suitable for attending a film company’s luncheon.

"Little sister, this isn’t attending a family birthday party; it’s the film company hosting luncheon with movie stars. Especially for girls, you have to wear unique gowns and avoid clashing outfits. You might think it doesn’t matter, but those celebrities will feel insulted. For them, dressing is a profound art."

Gu Xinyan didn’t understand these intricacies, and her eyes grew sad.

Seeing Gu Xinyan troubled over outfits, Xu Xiangbei laughed heartily, gloating, "Since none of these clothes are suitable, why not skip the luncheon and go with Xiao Lin to eat Northeast cuisine?"

Hurt by Xu Xiangbei’s teasing, Gu Xinyan blushed and threw the clothes at him with mock anger, "You’re not helping, just mocking me. Are you my friend? Take me to buy a gown quickly."

Xu Xiangbei smiled bitterly, "There’s only half an hour until the appointment. No time to choose a gown."

Xiao Lin blinked her blue eyes and smiled at Gu Xinyan, "Stand up, let me see your figure."

Gu Xinyan stood up from her wheelchair, turned lightly, and blushing asked, "Sister Xiao, is my figure okay?"

Xiao Lin’s eyes flashed with surprise and joy, "Not bad, you’ve got a standard model’s figure, slightly shorter than me but very similar. Come, let’s go to my place; I have plenty of clothes in my wardrobe. I’ll help you choose a gown."

Gu Xinyan was overjoyed, her gloomy expression instantly becoming cheerful, "That’s great, thank you, Sister Xiao."
