Chapter 1173 Chinese Makeup

Wu Yuze was chatting with Qin Zheng when he felt his father's gaze. He looked over and then gave a very sunny smile, his bright white teeth almost blinding.

Seeing his son's smile, Wu Fengnian was both amused and exasperated. Considering his son's age, he realized there was still a chance for things to change.

Liu Meilan laughed too, "Look, an orange grown south of the Huai River is an orange, but an orange grown north of the Huai River is a bitter orange! If Yuze changes his environment, perhaps he can change!"

Wu Fengnian wholeheartedly agreed, "I'll tell him tonight to stay here!"

Professor Xie quickly intervened, saying, "Cousin Fengnian, don't be in such a hurry! For a young person, what he wants to do is his freedom. What you're imposing on him is a restriction."

"I'll ask Qin Zheng to show him around these next few days! Let him see how great this place is, how rapidly it's developing, and how delicious the food is. After a while, he can come visit me, go to Hong Kong, and tour Beijing... Let him gradually integrate into a completely new environment where he is appreciated and accepted! And if he feels comfortable and thriving in this environment, he will naturally want to stay."

Liu Meilan wholeheartedly agreed, "Yes, Uncle! Who says only thirteen or fourteen-year-olds have a rebellious phase? Before they become independent, young people all have a rebellious streak. To be precise, it's a discrepancy between their self-perception and reality that leads to insufficient understanding and influences their behavior. The more you ask them to do something, the less willing they are to do it!"

Wu Fengnian suddenly realized, "What you're saying makes sense! I used to always force him to change, and he would reluctantly agree in order to get more pocket money from me! But in reality, he might not have really accepted it or changed! Cousin Qingya, is this how you raise your child?"

Xie Qingya nodded. "Yes, guidance is the main approach, and coercion is secondary! Unless what he does is illegal or extremely dangerous, I will force him not to do it and make him realize the harm! Otherwise, let them make their own decisions and then bear the consequences."

There's an old Chinese saying: "Teaching people by people is useless, but teaching people by experience is effective the first time." This means that earnest advice can never compare to the results achieved by overcoming obstacles in adversity.

Wu Fengnian's eyes showed envy, "If only I could reunite with my relatives in China sooner, I could receive this more reasonable education sooner. Now that I think about it, I'm even considering leaving my daughter here too!"

“Although we have a large family business abroad and are never short of money, our children are a minority there and are constantly viewed with prejudice. Even though their schools, especially private schools, don't allow racial discrimination, the fact that they don't even allow one thing is enough to prove how serious it is!”

"Society views them with prejudice. As people who have been through it, we have a different mindset and don't care at all. But these children have never experienced hardship, and their hearts are very fragile."

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Actually, my cousin Yuning is very pretty! I'll use the cosmetics I have here to do her skincare and makeup, and she'll instantly become a stunning beauty!"

Wu Fengnian's eyes lit up with excitement, "Then I'll have to trouble you later!"

Liu Meilan nodded, "Uncle, you and Mom continue chatting! I'm going to go play with my cousins!"

"Please!" Wu Fengnian nodded and watched Liu Meilan leave. "Cousin Qingya, I really envy you. Your children are all so successful!"

Professor Xie smiled and said, "Actually, Yuze and Yuning are quite good kids! Growing up abroad isn't without its advantages. They're confident, cheerful, generous, and athletic. Such people are good at socializing!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Fengnian shook his head. "Because almost everyone over there is like that. He's just following the crowd! Besides, you might not know that there's a mental illness where people appear outwardly normal, even more lively and cheerful, but are actually more depressed inside."

Wu Fengnian discussed his experience in educating his children with Professor Xie.

Professor Xie also tried her best to use her experience to organize her words and persuade her second cousin, who had a strong urge to confide in her.

Liu Meilan then approached Wu Yuning, who was playing with the children, and said, "Cousin, your makeup is a bit smudged. Let me take you back to wash your face and reapply some skincare products!"

Wu Yuning touched her face and her heavily made-up eyeliner. "Really? That's so rude!"

Liu Meilan smiled. "Don't be rude, it's understandable after such a long journey! Your skin looks a bit dry, how about trying my skincare products? They're very moisturizing! Don't worry, you won't have any allergic reactions!"

Wu Yuning looked up at Liu Meilan's face, blinked, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch Liu Meilan's cheek. "Cousin Meilan, are you wearing makeup?"

Liu Meilan replied, "I'm wearing makeup!"

Wu Yuning didn't believe it. "But that's not right. You're not wearing any makeup except for a little lipstick! Even your eyebrows are natural!"

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "It's partly because my skin is good, and partly because I use a moisturizing and whitening skin cream! After applying it to my face, it keeps my skin hydrated! Fair skin makes you look more attractive!"

Wu Yuning is currently in her third year of junior high school. The foreign diet has caused her to develop earlier, and she is already a young lady.

She is also very tall, reaching 1.7 meters! Standing next to Liu Meilan, Liu Meilan looks like the younger sister.

"Shall I give it a try?" Wu Yuning smiled. "Seeing your fresh and clean face, I suddenly feel that my makeup was a bit too heavy! And a bit strange! Why did I paint my eyes like that? Your big, bright eyes are much prettier!"

It seems that people's aesthetic sense is actually normal, but they are influenced and conditioned by that environment, which forces them to make some changes.

Liu Meilan took Wu Yuning's hand and said, "Let's go back inside!"

Wu Yuning obeyed and followed Liu Meilan.

When they arrived at Liu Meilan's room, there were skincare products inside. She first had Liu Meilan wash her face with warm water, revealing Wu Yuning's true face.

Liu Meilan was slightly taken aback. "Oh my, you look a bit like my grandma! She was such a beauty! Let me show you a picture of grandma when she was young!"

Liu Meilan found a photo album and showed it to Wu Yuning. "Even though Grandma is wearing clothes from decades ago, don't you think she looks beautiful?"

Wu Yuning nodded repeatedly, "Yes, it's very beautiful!"

After washing her face, she applied toner, lotion, and finally a whitening and moisturizing cream, which instantly changed Wu Yuning's complexion!

When shaping Wu Yuning's eyebrows, Liu Meilan deliberately changed the shape and added a little eyeliner and aegyo sal, instantly transforming her into a graceful and elegant Chinese beauty.

Wu Yuning blinked. "Am I that good-looking?"
