Chapter 627: Putting Makeup (3)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Today was the day before she got married. It was supposed to be a day for her relatives, friends, and family to come and put on makeup for her, but no one came from yesterday to today.
Those girls who had gotten along with her in the past, those close relatives of the Gu family, and those elders who had once been kind and loving to her… None of them came.
Perhaps something had changed since she changed her surname from Gu to Li.
They looked down on her too.
Li Yunrong pursed her lips, her dark and deep eyes surprisingly calm.
She told herself in her heart that it was alright.
As time passed, people’s hearts began to see. It was fine if those people who fawned over the powerful didn’t come.
It was enough that she had Kang Wang. Kang Wang was sincere to her, and the relationship between them was the purest.
And Fang Mingfeng…
She could only disappoint him in this lifetime.
“Bang!”
The sound of a heavy door slamming came from outside, so loud that even the windows in this room trembled. Li Yunrong put down the white porcelain teacup in her hand and couldn’t help but frown, revealing a displeased expression.
“Grandma! Grandma, I want to eat malt candy. Buttface won’t let me eat malt candy!” Li Hao shouted excitedly outside the house with a high voice. His voice was so sharp that it seemed to be piercing one’s eardrums.
“Which petty person didn’t give you candy to eat?” Aunt Li said angrily and spat. “Bah, what a miser. Brother Hao, don’t play with him in the future.” “Grandma will bring you to buy candied hawthorn, alright?”
“Malt candy, I want malt candy!” Li Hao shouted louder and louder, making a scene.
“Alright, alright, alright. Good grandson, your crying makes my heart hurt. We’ll eat malt candy…” Aunt Li coaxed her grandson without any principles. “I’ll get someone to buy you malt candy now.”

It was extremely noisy outside. Xia Lian hurriedly came over and closed the originally half-closed window. The room was much quieter.
Xia Lian looked at Li Yunrong with heartache. During this period of time, her lady suffered too much. It was all Second Master Gu’s fault. If it weren’t for the fact that he was hiding the Yu family, her lady and His Highness would have long since gotten married. Why would she have to live under the same roof as such a dirty family today!
Li Yunrong was even calmer, as if she didn’t hear the vulgar voices outside.
She touched the big red silk flower on her hairpin and instructed in a low voice, “Xia Lian, go to the Gu residence to fetch Second Lady Gu.”
“If she refuses to come, tell her…”
She paused for a moment, and her eyes darkened. “Just say that the betrothal gift Kang Wang gave me was snatched away by the Li family, and ask her to ask Big Brother to help me on account of our past relationship.”
Her red and plump lips curled into a mocking smile.
“Yes…” Xia Lian knelt down and bowed.
Just as she was about to leave, a short and fat old woman hurriedly lifted the curtain and entered. She reported at the door of the room nervously, “Second Lady, Second Lady Gu is here. She’s outside the house.”
Li Yunrong heaved a sigh of relief. The originally taut line of her lips gradually relaxed and curled up slowly, revealing a determined expression.
Gu Yanfei was indeed here!
She knew that Gu Yanfei liked to see her make a fool of herself. Seeing her down and helpless appearance, how could she not come!
Li Yunrong raised her chin slightly, and the line of her chin looked even thinner.
Xia Lian pinched the handkerchief in her hand and looked at her in a daze. She vaguely felt that her lady seemed to have become a little different and unfamiliar.
Perhaps too many things had happened recently. It was no wonder that the girl’s personality had changed.
Li Yunrong was immersed in her own thoughts and muttered, “Then I’ll let her be happier.”
As she spoke, she got up and stroked her dress.
She personally left the house to welcome Gu Yanfei.
The old woman who came to report followed behind Li Yunrong like a shadow. As she walked, she pointed at a black flat-topped carriage parked outside the door and said, “Second Lady Gu is in that carriage.”
As she spoke, the door at the back of the carriage was opened. Gu Yanfei, who was wearing a purple embroidered vine flower robe, agilely jumped out of the carriage.
When they heard that a guest was here, the Li family also gathered in the courtyard.
Aunt Li and Father Li felt that this unfamiliar girl looked a little familiar, while Li Hao only had eyes for the black flat-topped carriage. His eyes lit up as he said enviously, “What an imposing carriage!”
“Dad, Grandma, buy me such a carriage!”
Just as he was about to make a fuss, he heard Li Zhaodi shout in a complicated tone, “Erya!”
Li Zhaodi had just seen Gu Yanfei in Tianhe Garden, so she naturally remembered her.
Aunt Li and the others first subconsciously looked at Li Yunrong, but they were a beat slower. Only then did they realize why they felt that the guest today looked familiar. They blurted out, “Erya, you’re Erya.”
Both mother and son were stunned. They looked at Gu Yanfei outside the door.
Gu Yanfei had put on a black fluffy bun today. She only wore a white jade hairpin and two small fluffy flowers on her temples. The red musk bracelet on her wrist made her skin look crystalline and smooth, like a red plum in the snow, beautiful and dazzling.
When Aunt Li returned to her senses, her first reaction was to scold this damn girl, but when the words were about to come out of her mouth, she immediately shut her mouth and revealed a fawning smile. She called out, “Erya.”
The current Erya was completely different from the Erya in Huai Bei. She was dressed in a noble aura, and the hairpins, bead bracelets, jade pendants, and so on that probably cost hundreds of taels of silver.
Yes, Erya had changed her surname to Gu and was now a high and mighty noble.
How could Aunt Li dare to scold her? She rubbed her hands ingratiatingly and walked to the door. She nodded and bowed, reaching out her hand in invitation. “Come in quickly.”
Father Li also smiled warmly at Gu Yanfei.
Only Li Hao still had an arrogant expression as he quickly rushed towards Gu Yanfei. He stretched out his hand and said arrogantly, “Little Erya, did you bring me delicious food…”
In Li Hao’s opinion, no matter how well Gu Yanfei dressed now, she was still the person he could order around.
“Brother Hao, come here!” Li Zhaodi quickly pulled Li Hao back and advised in a low voice, “Be good.”
When Li Zhaodi still remembered Tianhe Garden, even Zeng Ya was obedient in front of Gu Yanfei.
Things were different now. Gu Yanfei was now a lady of the Gu family. The people who interacted with her were also the daughters of the Duke’s Estate and the Marquis’ Estate. She was no longer the target she could casually step on. If Gu Yanfei wanted to kill her with a sentence, it would probably be as easy as crushing an ant.
At this moment, she looked at Gu Yanfei again. The fear exceeded envy..
