Chapter 50 - Bad Temper
Chapter 50: Bad Temper
Qin Lu chuckled to herself. She was waiting for Mo Li to make such a mistake! When Mo Li came out looking at a clown, it would be perfect to help her stand out. Qiao Qing looked around and said softly, “Sister Ya, why don’t you help Lu Lu with her make up?”
The stylist called Sister Ya looked around. She shrugged. It was not like she had any other choice.
“Please don’t call me Lu Lu, we just met today.” Qin Lu’s face darkened immediately, “Also, why didn’t you have Sister Ya help with your sister, Mo Li’s make up? I don’t need your charity.”
Qiao Qing’s mouth fell open. She stammered twice and then took her seat, fidgeting like a frightened bird. “It’s because Li Li has quite a temper… I’m afraid she might scare Sister Ya.”
Mo Li who had remained silent, suddenly uttered, “Oh, please don’t say that, people are going to think that I’m some kind of monster who would only bully others.” Mo Li said that with a smile but the tension behind her words was real, it was even more terrifying than if she rampaged.
“I have no idea that in your eyes, I’m nothing more than a bully.” Mo Li said with levity as she turned around to regard Qiao Qing. In that moment, it was clear that who the real young miss of the Mo Family was. Mo Li lifted her chin slightly and her eyes brightened. The presence radiated off her naturally. The whole dressing room sunk into silence, even Liu Fan’s breathing turned heavier. “In that case, perhaps we shouldn’t be in the same shoot together then, Qiao Qing.” Mo Li said gently but her words were pointed, “We should be in different frames or else I’m afraid that I might accidentally scare you with my bad temper. That’s better for everyone, isn’t it?”
Qiao Qing sweated in her seat. She didn’t expect her comment would draw out such a reaction from Mo Li.
When Mo Li hadn’t arrived, everyone was talking behind her back. Qiao Qing figured she could befriend these stylists by agreeing with them and saying that Mo Li had a bad temper. These people would be great help to her in her future, especially that Jiang Yao. When Sister Ya did her make-up, Qiao Qing studied the other stylists in the room. Even though Jiang Yao was young, her skill was almost as good as Sister Ya. Furthermore, since Jiang Yao was more her age, her familiar make-up style was more youthful and clean, whereas Sister Ya’s style was more mature and seductive. It was not the style Qiao Qing was going for. Qiao Qing regretted finagling a chance to work with Sister Ya, but of course she was not going to say that.
Furthermore, Mo Li was a brainless buffoon. With a few clever words, Qiao Qing could easily turn herself into the victim, earning these stylists’ sympathy. However, she didn’t expect the previously brash Mo Li would change tactic, instead of throwing a tantrum, she decided to use her words. Mo Li said everything with a smile but every word was heavy with meaning and pointed.
Mo Li was using Qiao Qing’s own words against her and tried to force her out from the video. Losing this opportunity would be a big loss for Qiao Qing.
Qiao Qing flustered but for only a moment. She recollected herself and then turned back to her usual tricks.
As tears welled in Qiao Qing’s eyes, Mo Li suddenly changed her tone. With a light chuckle, her tone warmed, “Oh, please don’t take me seriously! I was only joking. Qiao Qing, with your pretty face, I’m sure the camera will love you. You have to help promote our school.”
Mo Li chuckled but the mirth didn’t reach her eyes.
Qin Lu looked at Mo Li and she tutted. Then she turned to look at Qiao Qing. It was clear to Qin Lu that this Qiao Qing was a two-faced white lotus, she wondered how Mo Li managed to stand this girl for so long. Qin Lu hated people like Qiao Qing the most.
Noticing Qiao Qing’s lack of response, Mo Li turned back to the mirror, “Whether this stylist is willing to work with me or not, it is for her to decide, wouldn’t you agree, Miss Jiang?”
“To work for Miss Mo Li is my honor. No matter the client, I will perform my duty professionally.” Jiang Yao picked up an eye palette. But honestly, with Mo Li’s natural appearance, she didn’t need much make-up to stand out. While Jiang Yao applied the make-up on Mo Li, she glanced sideways at Qiao Qing.
This Miss Qiao is not as gentle and innocent as they say! Miss Mo Li never really did or said anything but the first thing Miss Qiao did was to create the impression in everyone’s mind that Miss Mo Li is hard to work with.
Miss Mo Li personally picked me to work with her. There are so many experienced senior stylists in the classroom so none of the other girls paid me any attention. Miss Qiao was not as obvious as the other girls but I knew she wanted to work with Sister Ya as well. Only Miss Mo Li noticed me. This meant that Miss Mo Li does have confidence in my skills and is willing to give me a chance.?The thought warmed Jiang Yao.
