Chapter 103: Unveiling the True Face

Chapter 103: Unveiling the True Face

In an instant, the air pressure on the scene plummeted.

All the staff present were stunned and bewildered, none daring to speak rashly.

It seemed that Yun Mu's relationship with the Yun family was indeed as hostile as fire and water. Everyone knew that Yun Mu's face beneath the veil was scarred and hideously ugly.

Yet, Yun Chengdong, Yun Mu's third brother, actually wanted her to remove her veil in public to shoot an advertisement. Wasn't this intentionally embarrassing Yun Mu?

Yun Mu's misty brows arched coldly, her eyes brewing with chill, and she spoke in a frigid voice, "Shooting the advertisement with the veil on was approved by President Ling."

Yun Chengdong remained icy, "You're shooting an endorsement advertisement, the purpose is to portray the character of Time Hunter. If you feel your appearance is too ugly to show everyone, I suggest you get lost sooner or later."

His thin lips curled slightly, and Yun Chengdong looked down from his high position, spitting out each word with contempt, "The entertainment industry is a place for showing off one's face. It doesn't belong to freaks like you."

The scene before him overlapped with the nightmare in Yun Xiao's memory.

Just like back then, he said with disdain, "Idiot, you should stay in a place for idiots."

Yun Mu's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, a surge of anger welling up within her.

Her pupils shimmered with a soul-chilling coolness and chill under the sunlight, "If it doesn't belong to me, does it belong to you and Yun Shuiyao?"

Meeting Yun Mu's thin and cold gaze, Yun Chengdong was slightly startled, but his expression remained cold, "Whether it's appearance or fame, Yao'er is more suitable for Time Hunter than you. If you don't dare to take off your veil, then scram early."

As his words fell, someone in the crowd gasped in surprise, "Yun Shuiyao is here."

Yun Mu suddenly lifted her eyes, her sharp gaze looking towards the opposite side.

The girl walking slowly towards them in her dress was none other than Yun Shuiyao.

Goodness, she had even changed into the costume and styling of Time Hunter.

It seemed she had been well-prepared, waiting for Yun Mu to step down and make way for her!

"Goodness, Yun Shuiyao looks stunning in this outfit. It has to be said that, in terms of appearance, she is indeed more suitable to be the spokesperson."

Someone in the crowd muttered quietly, immediately hushed by the person beside them.

"Speak less. Yun Mu was personally chosen by the boss. She has a powerful backer!"

Yun Shuiyao, basking in everyone's amazed gazes, walked forward and hooked her arm around Yun Chengdong's, smiling sweetly at Yun Mu, "Sister, the role of Time Hunter really isn't suitable for you. I think you wouldn't dare to remove your veil and let everyone see the ugly scars on your face, afraid of being ridiculed by the whole nation, right? So..."

Yun Shuiyao deliberately left her sentence unfinished, but everyone already understood her meaning.

The staff also looked at Yun Mu sympathetically. Although Yun Shuiyao's method of forcing her out wasn't exactly honorable, Yun Mu indeed didn't fit in the entertainment industry.

This circle where one showed their face wasn't a place for an ugly monster like her to tread.

No matter how powerful her backer was, the eyes belonged to the audience.

After a while.

Yun Mu finally rose lazily from her chair.

Just when everyone thought she would "abdicate and make way," they heard her clear and cold voice counter, "Who told you I dare not remove my veil?"

With that, she raised her slender and tender hand, gently flicking it at her ear.

A cold wind blew, and the gossamer-thin white veil fluttered away into the sky...

Under the sunlight, the girl had raven hair and snow-white skin, her red lips full and bright, her eyes clear and penetrating, as if containing thousands of mountains and rivers.

What everyone expected to see—the left half of her face marred with scars—was actually as pure as snow, and the girl had painted a fresh red scar on it with red paint...

She slowly extended her hand, the shawl draped over her slipping off, revealing the magnificent and battle-damaged uniform of Time Hunter.

The girl's loosely curled French long hair was lazily tousled, flying in the wind, her long legs clad in combat boots stepping forward...

Noble and elegant, mysterious and cold.

She looked down from her high position, sweeping her gaze over everyone present.

That indescribable powerful aura, coupled with this battle-damaged makeup, perfectly matched the role of Time Hunter.

Yun Mu's pupils were devoid of warmth as she stood before Yun Shuiyao and Yun Chengdong, her eyes tranquil, "Now... am I suitable for the role of Time Hunter?"

Yun Chengdong's eyes flickered slightly, speechless.

Time Hunter was not just a beauty, but a female warrior, with a powerful and fierce aura, her eyes filled with a killing intent.

And these were what Yun Shuiyao lacked.

But Yun Mu had them.

Yun Shuiyao glanced at the silent Yun Chengdong, a hint of coldness flashing through her heart.

She had anticipated that Yun Mu would use this move, using makeup to conceal her scars, so she had been prepared.

She reached out, "Sister, this makeup is too heavy and bloody. We're shooting an advertisement promotional video, with a wide audience, including many minors. So... why don't you remove the makeup, Sister?"

In her palm was a bottle of specially formulated makeup remover.

"Since Sister is so brave, why don't you remove it in front of all of us? After all, you'll have to face the camera later, won't you?"

Yun Mu merely needed a glance to almost determine its ingredients.

This bottle of makeup remover would likely remove every trace of her handiwork on her face, leaving it clean and thoroughly bare.

Yun Chengdong also raised his brows, silently gazing at Yun Mu.

Everyone present, even if some felt sympathy for Yun Mu, none dared to utter a sound.

Sigh!

It seemed that today, she would have to remove her makeup after all.

Just as Yun Mu reached out to take the makeup remover, ready to reveal her true appearance and shock this group of idiots with her beauty...

"Bullying someone under my protection, do you think I'm dead in your Yun family?"

A voice, cold and stern, cut through the air.

Upon seeing the familiar figure,

Yun Mu's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

Yes, this man always arrived right on time.

Very punctual.

The cold wind blew, lifting his coat.

Huo Tingying was shrouded in icy gloom, his aura regal like a king.

He walked step by step toward Yun Mu, and when he passed Yun Shuiyao, his icy fingertips snatched the makeup remover from her grasp.

His cold, sharp gaze scrutinized her closely.

Suddenly!

With a fierce motion, Huo Tingying twisted off the cap and poured the entire bottle of makeup remover accurately onto Yun Shuiyao's face.

"Ahh—"

Yun Shuiyao screamed, then immediately covered her face.

When she opened her hands again, they were stained with various colored cosmetic oils.

Her once exquisitely made-up, beautiful face instantly became blotchy and utterly disheveled.

Unbearable to look at!

Yun Chengdong immediately took off his jacket to cover Yun Shuiyao, lifted his eyes, and glared angrily at Huo Tingying.

"Is the President of the Emperor Group so lacking in grace? To lay hands on a woman!"

Huo Tingying stepped forward, pulling Yun Mu into his embrace, his thin lips curling slightly, "At least I'm better than someone who turns against their own blood, helping an outsider bully their younger sister."

"This is our Yun family's internal matter!"

That phrase again.

Huo Tingying sneered, "Anything concerning Yun Mu is my concern."
