Chapter 308 'Mommy is not going to be a couple with Uncle Fang until you two say yes.' (1)
“Big news! A very pretty woman knelt in the middle of the street and begged Feng Zeyu for forgiveness in tears. She was the one that Feng Zeyu had saved before. She showed up and even held a sign over her head with the details written on it. She was bawling.” Lin Hui was especially emotional. All of the women in the area were.
“The girl that he saved in the past?” She came and begged for Feng Zeyu’s forgiveness on her knees?
“Yeah, her mother was there too. The both knelt and hugged each other. They spoke through their tears that they were forced to accuse Feng Zeyu back then and had been feeling guilty this entire time. That they never had a peaceful day or a good sleep since. They even said that the girl’s father had been depressed since and had passed away a year ago. He wasn’t even 60 yet. The whole thing was so sad. That’s why one should never do bad things. It was said that the girl’s days hadn’t been all that great either. I don’t know of any details. I guess sometimes being too pretty could be a bad thing too. It’s best to just be ordinary like us.”
Having said that, Lin Hui studied Shu Yan closely and suddenly said, surprised, “Wait, no, I am the only ordinary one here. When did you become so pretty?” Perhaps she had been seeing Shu Yan every day, Lin Hui never paid too much attention to Shu Yan’s look. Now that she had taken a good look, she was envious right away. “Since when did you become so pretty?”
Shu Yan had good features to start out with. When original owner had gained a lot of weight, all of them were squeezed together. Now that she had lost some weight, her features could be seen. She had large eyes, a tall nose bridge, and slightly puffy lips. Now that her skin had become fairer, she could at least pass as fair looking if not downright a beauty.
Shu Yan didn’t know what to say to that. “I just lost some weight and became lighter in skin tone. You are pretty too. We are just pretty in our own way.”
Truth was, after she had lost weight, this body was even pretty than she was before. Shu Yan was vain now. She would stare at herself in the mirror for a little while every day when she applied her skincare products.
Lin Hui rubbed her own face. “You don’t need to try to comfort me. No way. I need to lose some weight too. How did you do it? How were you able to lose so much weight in such a short period of time?”
Shu Yan was so fat when they first met! She was at least 165 lbs. Looking at her now, she was filled out where they need to be and not where they shouldn’t. She was perky out front and back. Even a woman would find her attractive.
“Watch what you eat and exercise. I skipped having dinner at the very beginning. That only lasted a few days. Then I started drinking some soup or had some fruits. Then I had to go merchandizing, remember? So I would have some entrees. I wouldn’t have made it otherwise. But just a little bit. Even now I only have one scoop. Mostly it’s exercise. You know all about my days before I hired Aunty. I’d ran to get breakfast and groceries, come home to make lunch for JingJing to bring to school, drop the children off at school, jog to the bus station, and run around at work. Nothing was more tiring than merchandising. I’m sure you will lose weight if you pull a few all-nighters too.” Shu Yan felt that burpee helped as well but mostly it was her diet and being tired.
“All you have is a bite of rice every night?” Lin Hui asked in disbelief.
“No, a little more than that. Half a bowl of a very small bowl and have some seaweed soup with it. And an apple or cucumber to top.” Her skin became better over time with that diet and it wasn’t half-bad once she had gotten used to it.
“You don’t need to lose any more weight. You are good how you are right now. If you lose any more weight, you would be too skinny.” Lin Hui didn’t think she could do that. She loved her meats.
Her weight was perfect for this era. Shu Yan was still considered a bit chubby if it was 20-30 years into the future. She had checked with Hu Ruixue before. There were really clubs for body shaping. Hu Ruixue had a membership there and Shu Yan and gone a couple of times to try it out. She planned to get a membership herself. Her muscles were somewhat loose right now. Once she had them tightened up, she could for sure go down another size.
