Chapter 1405: What was there to be afraid of?
Later… Su Manman managed to poach Yang Weiyi over before taking part in this “The Battle of the House of Horrors.”
After returning to the hotel room, Su Manman soaked herself in a bubble bath with her face mask, preparing to go to bed. After all, the filming would start early in the morning, so Su Manman needed the rest.
At 5:30 am the next morning, Yang Weiyi went to Su Manman’s room to put on her makeup.
It was basically Su Manman sleeping on the reclining chair while Yang Weiyi was putting on makeup for her…
This was a habit they used to have when they worked together. Yang Weiyi didn’t think much of it. After all, she had served someone like this before.
Perhaps because she was used to it for many years, she conveniently poured a gla.s.s of water for Su Manman. As usual, she placed it on her left hand and inserted a straw.
The makeup was nearly done. She only had to apply eyeliner and mascara. Yang Weiyi put away the makeup tools, took out the waterproof eyeliner and mascara, and called out to Su Manman.
Su Manman sat up and rubbed her neck with her eyes closed. She took the cup of water and drank it before opening her eyes and letting Yang Weiyi put on eye makeup for her.
“You’re filming a horror variety show today. I’m afraid that you’ll sweat or cry, so this is a strong waterproof eyeliner and mascara. Don’t worry about the makeup later…” Yang Weiyi said.
Su Manman nodded.
Without Su Manman saying anything, Yang Weiyi began using a cotton swab to brush her eyelashes one by one.
At 8 am, breakfast was delivered to her room. Su Manman ate breakfast while Yang Weiyi helped her with her hair.
At 8:30 am, Su Manman came out of the room on time. She didn’t expect to b.u.mp into s.h.i.+ Hanchu and his a.s.sistant, Little Song. They were just coming out of s.h.i.+ Hanchu’s room…
“Hey, Dong Dong…” Little Song and her a.s.sistant greeted each other, then looked at Su Manman. “Manman, Brother Jie called Brother Hanchu just now and told him to take good care of you on the show today! So, you don’t have to worry…”
“Okay!” Su Manman smiled sweetly and nodded.
When their eyes met, Su Manman smiled at him.
s.h.i.+ Hanchu looked past Su Manman and looked at Yang Weiyi, who was standing behind her. He was slightly stunned.
Yang Weiyi smiled at s.h.i.+ Hanchu and greeted, “Brother Hanchu.”
s.h.i.+ Hanchu nodded and said nothing, walking towards the elevator.
Su Manman also walked towards the elevator, but neither s.h.i.+ Hanchu nor Su Manman said a word.
s.h.i.+ Hanchu’s face was tense inside the elevator, and no one knew what he was thinking about. However, his expression wasn’t pleasant. Even Little Song could tell that s.h.i.+ Hanchu was in a bad mood after seeing Yang Weiyi following behind Su Manman this morning.
Downstairs, Su Manman and s.h.i.+ Hanchu still got into their respective vans. The moment Su Manman got into the car, she started feeling vexed. Why did she not say a word when she saw s.h.i.+ Hanchu, nor did she greet him? What was there to be afraid of?
Yang Weiyi placed her makeup kit in the trunk, got into the van, and sat behind. Seeing that Su Manman had already laid down her chair with her hands covering her face, she didn’t say a word.
Su Manman didn’t seem surprised when she saw her greeting s.h.i.+ Hanchu. She lowered her gaze, somewhat wary of Su Manman.
Su Manman must have investigated her since she took the initiative to look for her. It wasn’t a secret that Jiang Mingzhu and s.h.i.+ Hanchu were best friends back then, and she was also Jiang Mingzhu’s personal makeup artist.
Yang Weiyi was afraid the reason Su Manman had poached her was because she wanted to chase after s.h.i.+ Hanchu…
It wasn’t a big deal to chase after s.h.i.+ Hanchu, but… Yang Weiyi knew about the relations.h.i.+p between s.h.i.+ Hanchu and Jiang Mingzhu back then. If Su Manman attempted to imitate Jiang Mingzhu to pursue s.h.i.+ Hanchu, Yang Weiyi wouldn’t want to be this link.
After thinking that Su Manman had a motive, Yang Weiyi carefully observed her and vaguely felt that there were many areas where Su Manman was intentionally imitating Jiang Mingzhu.
For example, both of them didn’t like bringing bodyguards because they found it troublesome. And once they got into the car, they would place their seats down and rest. There was also the thing of having four a.s.sistants. Each of the a.s.sistants would have their own tasks. For example, yesterday, when they were on the plane, they applied face masks as though no one was around. Another example would be them not putting on fake eyelashes; instead, curling their eyelashes one by one with a brush.
Yang Weiyi felt that she had to keep an eye on Su Manman. If Su Manman really had such a plan, then she must tell s.h.i.+ Hanchu.
As the car drove forward, Su Manman turned her head to look out the window and saw a daif.u.ku seller.
“Dong Dong!” Su Manman suddenly sat up and called her a.s.sistant.
The a.s.sistant sitting in the front pa.s.senger seat turned around and asked, “What’s the matter, Manman?”
“Get the car to stop by the roadside. Help me buy two boxes of daif.u.ku!” Su Manman smiled.
s.h.i.+ Hanchu and Su Manman both liked to eat j.a.panese daif.u.ku. In the past, when the two of them came to j.a.pan, they never forgot to buy some good fortune.
“Get the matcha-flavored! I think there’s a cafe next to the daif.u.ku shop. So, also get one cup of coffee with milk, no sugar. One cup of coffee with milk and less sugar.”
Yang Weiyi stared at Su Manman’s side profile as she looked outside the window, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
“Okay! I’ll be right back!” Dong dong unbuckled her seatbelt and quickly got out of the car.
Yang Weiyi remembered that Jiang Mingzhu was used to drinking coffee with milk, but without sugar. s.h.i.+ Hanchu… always added less sugar to his coffee because Jiang Mingzhu always wanted to take a sip. She always restricted herself from eating a lot of sweets because of her obsession with maintaining her figure. So, she could only take a sip from s.h.i.+ Hanchu every time.
What was Su Manman trying to do? Was the other cup of coffee bought for s.h.i.+ Hanchu?
Was she… really imitating Jiang Mingzhu?
After a short while, Su Manman’s a.s.sistant returned with Su Manman’s fortune and coffee. He also bought coffee and snacks for the others in the car.
Yang Weiyi took the cup of coffee and thanked her. She watched as Su Manman picked up the cup of coffee without sugar and took a sip, then frowned slightly and pouted.
This expression seemed to coincide with Jiang Mingzhu’s expression. In that instant, Yang Weiyi’s heart beat especially fast.
Was she going crazy? She actually thought she saw Sister Mingzhu!
Yang Weiyi frowned and looked outside the window. While clutching the hot cup of coffee tightly. she lowered her gaze and took a sip, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Just like Jiang Mingzhu’s fans, Yang Weiyi was unwilling to see anyone mimic Jiang Mingzhu, mainly because… she was indebted to Jiang Mingzhu.
In the past, she used to be a non-famous makeup artist. Yang Weiyi, who was practically spoon fed by Jiang Mingzhu’s teachings, had always been grateful to Jiang Mingzhu for this. If it weren’t for Jiang Mingzhu, she wouldn’t have been where she was today.
In Yang Weiyi’s heart, Jiang Mingzhu was her idol. Even though Jiang Mingzhu was dead now, Yang Weiyi remained loyal to her. Otherwise, she would have become another celebrity’s makeup artist in the past two years.
When Su Manman’s car stopped outside the amus.e.m.e.nt park, s.h.i.+ Hanchu had already arrived. He got out of the car and was greeting the other guests.
Before getting out of the car, Su Manman called out to her a.s.sistant and whispered something.
