Chapter 2078: A Total Image Makeover

Jiang Mobai's eyes lit up instantly.

Yet he feigned indifference and said, "It's such a grand event; if I don't go, it would be too much of a letdown."

"So you'll come?"

"Mm!"

Wang Zi knew that as soon as Su Kexuan was mentioned, Jiang Mobai would definitely be tempted!

But Wang Zi didn't point it out; he chuckled to himself and started chatting about something else: "Brother Mobai, how is your recovery going?"

"Don't even mention it. I can't get the cast off yet, and I still have to use crutches when I go out."

"It's fine, the brothers will take good care of you when the time comes; we'll definitely treat you like a hero!"

A hero...

Jiang Mobai raised an eyebrow, suddenly realizing he could use this opportunity to salvage his terrible image in front of Su Kexuan!

He admitted that his performance in certain aspects had been quite poor.

But a prodigal who returns is worth more than gold.

If Jiang Mobai worked hard to correct himself and faced things positively, perhaps... he could rewrite the ending!

Jiang Mobai saw hope once again.

He began to look forward to the celebration party.

When that day arrived, Jiang Mobai prepared to leave early.

Because it was a workday, everyone in the family had gone out to be busy.

Only Li Moning had returned home early after only half a day of classes due to a school event.

Seeing Jiang Mobai looking like he was about to head out, she asked, "Brother, where are you going?"

"The racing team is holding a celebration party, and I'm going to attend."

After saying this, Jiang Mobai started to walk past Li Moning.

But Li Moning called out to stop Jiang Mobai and asked, "For such a formal occasion, you've made yourself look so... decadent?"

Decadent?

Jiang Mobai looked down at himself and retorted, "You have no taste; it's clearly very dashing."

"Forget it. Look at you: your eyes are listless, your hair is a mess, your lips are so dry they're peeling, and your clothes are just plain..."

Li Moning couldn't bear to watch anymore.

She crossed her arms and shook her head repeatedly: "Second Brother, you can't waste such a handsome face like this!"

Jiang Mobai hadn't originally intended to take the little girl's words to heart.

But the more Li Moning spoke, the less confident Jiang Mobai felt inside.

In the end, he even began to doubt whether he had been too careless with his outfit today.

Jiang Mobai re-examined himself and then asked Li Moning, "Then should I go change into a suit?"

"It's not a question of a suit, but a total makeover!"

Is that so?

Jiang Mobai was a bit bewildered.

Li Moning continued her critique: "This style of yours won't do either. Come, look at the latest popular makeup and styling!"

As she spoke, Li Moning pulled up a photo of a male celebrity on her phone to show Jiang Mobai.

Jiang Mobai only took one look before showing his disdain: "As expected of the style you young girls like; childish!"

"It's not just young girls who like it; Sister Kexuan saw it and praised him for being handsome too!"

Li Moning mentioned Su Kexuan only to refute Jiang Mobai.

But this example hit Jiang Mobai right where it mattered.

He asked half-believingly, "How is that possible? You're lying to me!"

"During training last time, Sister Kexuan said it herself, and Sister Yangyang heard it too. If you don't believe me, ask her!"

Li Moning had a witness, so she spoke with full confidence.

Jiang Mobai had no choice but to believe her.

But...

He looked at the photo again and muttered in confusion, "I just feel like something is weird about it."

"It's not weird at all! Trust me, if you dress like this, you'll definitely charm a whole crowd of girls!"

No, Jiang Mobai didn't need to charm that many people.

He only wanted Su Kexuan's gaze to linger on him...

Jiang Mobai became increasingly tempted.

Finally, he made a decision: "Where can I get styled like this?"

He assumed Li Moning would recommend some kind of personal image studio to him.

Instead, the little girl lifted her chin and patted her chest: "I can do it!"

"You?"

"What, looking down on me? I've been practicing my skills hard lately and have already successfully made over the boys in my class!"

"You gave boys a makeover? Which boys, and where did you do it?"

Jiang Mobai sensed something was wrong and began to get to the bottom of it.

Li Moning, however, didn't want to answer; she frowned and asked, "Aren't you in a hurry?"

This...

Jiang Mobai checked the time and then sealed his lips.

His silence made Li Moning very satisfied.

Li Moning pushed him upstairs and said excitedly, "Next, let me perform magic for you!"

Jiang Mobai was secretly looking forward to it.

And after fiddling around for a long time, Li Moning did indeed give Jiang Mobai a complete makeover.

It's just that...

Jiang Mobai looked at the photo, then looked at himself in the mirror.

He felt that the two were somewhat alike, yet somewhat not alike.

In short, it was hard to judge...

Li Moning, however, thought it was perfect.

She took two steps back, admiring him while saying, "Second Brother, today you will definitely outshine everyone at the event!"

"You used the wrong word."

"Then that means becoming the center of attention for the whole venue!"

"I was already the center of attention to begin with."

"Hmm... close enough, anyway, I'm complimenting you."

"You can't be so sloppy when doing things, Momo, think about it carefully."

Li Moning was a bit speechless.

She felt Jiang Mobai was so pretentious, as if it wouldn't do unless the compliment was to his satisfaction.

Raising her eyes to look at the clock, Li Moning muttered, "It's already this late."

Jiang Mobai also looked up.

Oh no, he was going to be late!

Jiang Mobai stopped being pretentious, leaned on his crutches, and hurried out the door.

When the car drove to the entrance of the event venue, Jiang Mobai discovered Wang Zi was standing there waiting.

Wang Zi recognized that the car driving over was from the Li Family.

He felt Jiang Mobai must be inside.

The two hadn't seen each other for a while.

Wang Zi actually missed Jiang Mobai quite a bit.

Seeing the car door open, a smile still hung on his face.

It's just that...

When the person inside stepped out, Wang Zi's smile froze on his face.

Seeing Wang Zi staring at him unblinkingly, Jiang Mobai slightly raised his chin and said confidently, "What, are you captivated by me?"

Captivated?

Hmm...

Jiang Mobai's style today was indeed quite "captivating" (baffling).

Wang Zi looked him over again and asked the question in his heart: "Brother Mobai, why did you make yourself look so effeminate?"

Hearing Wang Zi's words, Jiang Mobai finally knew what was wrong!

His look was too girlish!

Wang Zi stared at Jiang Mobai's mouth for a moment and asked, unable to stand it, "Why are you even wearing lipstick?"

"It's not lipstick, it's lip balm!"

"But it has color!"

Jiang Mobai rubbed it with the back of his hand and discovered there really was red!

But when Li Moning applied it to him, the balm was clearly white!

Wang Zi pointed at Jiang Mobai's head again: "Your hair is also weird?"

"Momo pinned a few clips there and sprayed hairspray to set the hair."

Jiang Mobai had used this method to style his hair before; it was very stylish and lasted a long time.

But Wang Zi discovered something wrong.

He reached out to pull at it and said in surprise, "Hair extensions? Brother Mobai, you actually use this stuff too!"

Jiang Mobai was unaware of it.

When Li Moning was pinning things into his hair, she stood in front of him, blocking his view, so Jiang Mobai hadn't seen the mirror.
