My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 489: Why did you bring Lu Youxi with you?
Chapter 489: Chapter 489: Why did you bring Lu Youxi with you?
Lu Youbang noticed that Lu Youzhen was dressed up in a way that really resembled Lu Youxi.
Although he didn’t associate with Lu Youxi, they both attended Jing University, so he often saw her just walking on campus.
So Lu Youbang was familiar with Lu Youxi’s usual style of dressing.
He rather admired Lu Youxi, thinking she was pretty good at putting on an act.
Lu Youxi, now so wealthy, still dressed every day in just T-shirts and jeans, and they looked particularly cheap at a glance.
And it seemed like she only had a few pieces, anyway, because they always looked familiar to him.
Being able to maintain such a simple persona was a skill in itself.
But Lu Youbang just felt Lu Youxi was too fake.
Who in the school didn’t know she was rich now?
She couldn’t compare to Lin Jingshen’s family, but she was richer than most students’ families. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Still dressing like that meant she was either pretending to be poor or trying to maintain an image of being wealthy without losing her original principles.
Both seemed fake to him.
"Bro! Bro!" Lu Youzhen’s voice was getting impatient.
Lu Youbang, deep in thought, barely snapped out of it when he saw Lu Youzhen’s impatient face, "What are you daydreaming about?"
"Nothing," Lu Youbang dared not say.
If Lu Youzhen found out he was actually leading her to mimic Lu Youxi, she would definitely explode.
"Look how good you look, like a lotus flower coming out of clear water," Lu Youbang complimented her.
The advantage of this house was that it had a full-length mirror.
Lu Youzhen stood in front of the full-length mirror, looking at herself from every angle for over ten minutes before she was convinced by Lu Youbang’s comment.
"I didn’t expect it to be quite nice like this," Lu Youzhen said.
Lu Youbang nodded, "Of course it’s good."
This way, she even bore a slight resemblance to Lu Youxi.
As long as one didn’t look too closely at the face, at first glance, one might even mistake her for someone else.
"Think about the girls Lin Jingshen usually knows, always dressed to the nines, flamboyant," Lu Youbang affirmed. "By contrast, your simple look will stand out, catching the eye at a glance."
"You should put on a little makeup," Lu Youbang suggested.
"As if I don’t know," Lu Youzhen retorted, lips curled in annoyance with Lu Youbang’s constant preaching.
"Don’t mind my nagging," Lu Youbang spoke, "And remember, when you do your makeup, don’t make it as flamboyant as before, keep it subtle, best if you can achieve that look where people can’t tell you’re wearing any, a natural, fair, and pure look."
Lu Youzhen rolled her eyes, "Why don’t you just say you want me to go for the pure and innocent look?"
"Yeah, go ahead and do your makeup, and I’ll take a look when you’re done," Lu Youbang said.
The way he spoke made Lu Youzhen laugh scornfully, and with a cold snort, she went back to her room to put on makeup.
Since when did her choice of outfit require Lu Youbang’s approval?
But this time, since it was to catch Lin Jingshen’s attention, and she knew nothing about him, she had to follow Lu Youbang’s advice for the moment.
She was curious to see whether Lu Youbang’s guidance would prove accurate tonight.
Lu Youbang waited more than an hour and still didn’t see Lu Youzhen coming out of her room.
Unable to restrain himself, he called out at her door, "Are you done yet? I told you not to go overboard, just keep it simple."
"I’m almost done!" Lu Youzhen applied her lipstick while making a face, finding Lu Youbang’s simplicity frustrating—so simple yet unnoticeable.
That was the hardest part.
Despite the look being subtle, not one step in the process could be skipped.
Instead, she had to be even more careful in selecting colors and techniques.
Lu Youzhen applied the coral lipstick evenly, then blotted some off with a tissue.
Then she applied a bit more, and blotted off some again with the tissue.
She couldn’t afford to buy the expensive kind of lipstick now, so she could only buy the cheap ones.
That’s why she had to apply and blot repeatedly like this, to ensure the color looked natural and stayed firmly on her lips.
After scrutinizing herself in the mirror several times, ensuring there were no oversights and that she had done a good job, Lu Youzhen stood up to answer the door.
"How does it look?" Lu Youzhen asked.
"Indeed, not bad," Lu Youbang nodded.
There was no denying it, Lu Youzhen had a certain talent when it came to dressing up.
"But you only did so little, why did it take you so long?" Lu Youbang wondered.
"Pssh! Can’t be bothered to explain to you," Lu Youzhen said with a pout, unwilling to elaborate.
Lin Jingshen had arranged to meet at 8 PM at the KTV.
So, at 7 PM, Lin Jingshen led Lu Youzhen on their way.
They first took the bus for three stops and then switched to the subway.
Since it was the rush hour for getting off work, Lu Youzhen, worried about wrinkling her clothes, waited for several trains before finally boarding one with Lu Youbang.
"We’re probably going to be late tonight," Lu Youbang said with a frown.
"It’s just a gathering at a KTV. What does it matter if we’re early or late?" Lu Youzhen was utterly unflustered, "Besides, it’s better if everyone’s already there. When the two of us arrive, all the attention will definitely be on us. It’ll be hard not to be noticed then."
"That’s true," Lu Youbang nodded, realizing that Lu Youzhen knew much more about social relations than he did.
What Lu Youzhen said did make sense to Lu Youbang.
So, he stopped hurrying too.
Even after getting off the subway, he still took his time walking with Lu Youzhen.
They arrived at the KTV almost 20 minutes late.
As expected, the others had already arrived. When Lu Youbang entered with Lu Youzhen, people inside seemed a bit bewildered upon seeing her.
It wasn’t very bright in the private room, and it wasn’t clear who had said, "Lu Youbang, why did you bring your sister?"
This person clearly mistook Lu Youzhen for Lu Youxi.
Now, everyone at Jing University knew that Lu Youbang and Lu Youxi were on bad terms. Why would Lu Youbang bring Lu Youxi here?
Had the two reconciled?
Lu Youbang felt secretly pleased in his heart, thinking that Lu Youzhen’s makeover was a success.
Lu Youbang subtly observed Lin Jingshen’s reaction.
Having just come from the brightly lit corridor, it took him a moment to adjust to the dimness inside the private room.
But it didn’t take long for him to get used to it.
Lu Youbang easily found Lin Jingshen.
In fact, it was easy to spot him, since everyone was gathered around Lin Jingshen, hence the most central seat was offered for him to sit.
Indeed, Lin Jingshen looked at Lu Youzhen as if he was a bit stunned, now staring directly at Lu Youzhen.
Lu Youbang pretended to know nothing and smiled, saying, "How did you know she is my sister? Because she looks so much like me?"
After taking a closer look at Lu Youzhen, the crowd also realized she was not Lu Youxi.
She had only looked very similar at first glance.
Without revealing the truth, Lu Youbang introduced her, "This is my sister, Lu Youzhen. She got admitted to the Imperial Capital Aviation College for the flight attendant program. I let her come to the Imperial Capital during the summer vacation to get familiar with the environment, so she isn’t clueless when she suddenly goes to school."
"She doesn’t know anyone else in the Imperial Capital besides me, and doesn’t have many activities to participate in. I don’t have much time to accompany her normally, so I brought her over to hang out tonight," Lu Youbang explained, "You guys don’t mind, do you?"
