During their time together, Xia Sanghuan could clearly feel how much this father cherished her and treated her with extreme caution. Since she was found after being lost for so long, he took extra care of her.
Whether it was her daily life or her mood as a newcomer to the family, this middle - aged man considered every detail, only hoping that she could live a happy and comfortable life in this family.
Well, making her father happy was also the responsibility of a daughter.
Hearing Xia Sanghuan answer without hesitation, Fu Moning showed a relieved smile on her face. She knew that her little sister was the most considerate and sensible one. "Then just wait here patiently. After the stylist finishes your styling, we'll go home."
Fu Youqing beside her also chimed in, "Second sister is right. We'll finish as quickly as possible. I can't wait to see the surprised look on Dad's face."
Soon, the manager brought in the chief stylist, followed by two assistants pushing the makeup cart.
"Hello, ladies. I'm Maddy, the chief stylist here. May I ask which lady needs styling?" Maddy asked respectfully, trying to tone down his arrogance.
It was widely known that this chief stylist had the magic power to turn an ordinary woman into a beauty. He could spot the shining points in any woman at a glance and maximize their advantages through his skills.
Not only rich wives and young ladies wanted him to do their styling for various banquets, but also well - known celebrities. His appointment list was already full until next year.
Fu Moning pointed to the positions of her sister and Xia Anying. "It's my sister and Miss Xia over there who need styling."
With just this one sentence, the difference in their relationships was clearly shown.
Fu Moning was grateful to the Xia family for raising Xia Sanghuan for eighteen years. However, it was still hard for her to regard Xia Anying as her sister.
Moreover, she didn't really like people like Xia Anying.
Just as Maddy was about to walk towards Xia Sanghuan, Xia Anying stood up and blocked in front of her. "Thank you for your hard work, stylist."
Since Fu Youqing's agent called her to discuss something about a drama, she went out directly and didn't see Xia Anying's action.
But Fu Moning saw everything clearly. She was about to scold Xia Anying for her rudeness when Xia Sanghuan gently patted the back of her hand and shook her head, indicating that she was okay.
Back in the Xia family, this kind of competition happened every day. However, the things Xia Anying fought for were not what Xia Sanghuan cared about, so she just let her do as she pleased.
"Teacher Maddy, I can wait. You can style my sister first."
Having been in the rich - people's circle for so many years, Maddy could tell at a glance who was in charge. He looked at Fu Moning inquiringly.
Fu Moning nodded at the stylist, and then Xia Anying walked away happily with Maddy for styling.
Fu Moning took Xia Sanghuan's hand and suddenly asked seriously, "Huanhuan, tell sister the truth. How have you been in the Xia family all these years?"
Just now, seeing how skillfully Xia Anying rushed in front of Huanhuan, Fu Moning could sense that this kind of thing must have happened quite often.
Then what about their Huanhuan?
"Second sister, don't worry. The people in the Xia family have been very kind to me. Otherwise, how could Huanhuan have grown up safely and returned to you all?"
Seeing that Huanhuan didn't want to talk more about this issue, Fu Moning didn't press further.
But she still kept this matter in mind. "We should send someone to check on the Xia family's place when we have time to see what kind of life Huanhuan has really lived all these years."
If she found out that someone had bullied their Huanhuan, she was sure to make that person regret their actions.
Styling usually didn't take too long. However, in order to show off in front of the stylist, Xia Anying kept making all kinds of suggestions. "I think there's something strange here. Maybe we should change the hairstyle."
"This makeup seems a bit too light. It doesn't match the clothes I'm wearing today."
...
Throughout the whole process, Xia Anying never stopped talking. The two assistants beside her could hardly stand it anymore. They had met some demanding young ladies before, but this one was really the most strange and had the worst taste.
Maddy didn't get angry at all. No matter what requirements Xia Anying put forward, he tried his best to meet them.
However, the impatience in his slightly squinted eyes was almost impossible to hide.
Finally, the styling was settled. Looking at her completely transformed self in the mirror, Xia Anying said haughtily to Maddy, "That's it for now."
Then it was Xia Sanghuan's turn to sit in front of the dressing mirror. Maddy was tidying up the things he had just used beside her. She could clearly feel that the stylist's mood was different from when he first came in.
There was no need to guess. It must be because Xia Anying had made him angry just now.
Xia Anying was like this. Once she had a bit of ability, she would act like a big shot.
"Teacher Maddy, if my sister said anything offensive just now, please don't take it to heart. I apologize to you on her behalf."
Xia Sanghuan's sudden apology made Maddy stunned. He had met many young ladies. Even if they knew their behavior was impolite, they rarely apologized to people in the service industry like him.
This Miss Xia was very humble, which was obviously different from the previous one.
"I wonder what kind of styling you would like?" Based on his experience with the previous Miss Xia, this time Maddy chose to ask first.
Xia Sanghuan smiled at Maddy in the mirror. "I definitely don't know as much as you in this regard. You can do it according to your preference. I trust you."
These two short sentences increased Maddy's favor towards Xia Sanghuan a lot. So he started to style her seriously.
Xia Sanghuan's styling process was very fast. Maddy didn't make any big changes to her makeup. Everything was done according to her natural temperament.
When Xia Sanghuan reappeared in front of everyone, even Fu Moning, who was used to seeing top - level models from all over the world, was extremely surprised.
Xia Sanghuan had changed into the white dress she had chosen just now. The white silk fabric made her skin look even more fair and smooth.
Maddy had styled her hair into a princess - like style with slightly curled ends, which made her look elegant yet cute.
Her whole makeup was very clear and clean, as if her skin could breathe. It seemed that she wasn't wearing much makeup, but every part of her face was more delicate than before. She looked like a fairy who didn't belong to the mortal world.
