Chapter 2527 - 2310: Showing Off in Front of the Disciple (Part 4)

"Mr. Song, I really, truly don't know how to thank you! I'm willing to be Mr. Song's servant for the rest of my life!" Wei Fangfang was so overwhelmed that she was about to kneel to Song Xiaodong.

"Help me take care of the two pregnant women in my family. If you can cook, you can help with the meals, do some odd jobs. My courtyard is quite big, it's hard to tidy up, there's a lot of work. Just stay," Song Xiaodong said to Wei Fangfang.

"Okay, okay, okay…" Wei Fangfang kept nodding and agreeing while shedding tears.

So from then on, Wei Fangfang and Chen Meiyu lived in the Su Family's house, and the next day, Kong Siman and Lu Yaobing left together.

Song Xiaodong went to find Chen Meiyu.

"How do you feel?" Song Xiaodong asked Chen Meiyu, who had taken the elixir.

"My whole body itches, the skin is starting to peel," Chen Meiyu replied.

"That's exactly right."

"Take Meiyu downstairs for a bath, soak off all the dead skin and keratin layer on her body, just peel it off directly. Let her soak longer in the bathtub, rub all the dead skin off. It won't hurt, don't be scared," Song Xiaodong said to Wei Fangfang.

"Okay."

Wei Fangfang took Chen Meiyu to the bathroom on the second floor to bathe.

After Chen Meiyu took off her clothes, the deep and shallow keratin layer on her body, like tree bark, began to fall away, revealing white, tender, smooth skin underneath, just like a snake shedding its skin.

Chen Meiyu sat down in the bathtub and soaked in warm water. Once she was wet, she felt a prickling itch all over, unbearable, and reached out to scratch. The dead skin and keratin layer on her body fell off in chunks, large pieces stripping away like tree bark, floating on the bathwater's surface.

Wherever the dead skin fell off, it revealed the fresh, rosy skin of a young girl.

Wei Fangfang used a bath mitten to scrub Chen Meiyu.

Because of Song Xiaodong's earlier instructions, Wei Fangfang patiently helped scrub her from head to toe. All the keratin on her body came off, her facial features returned to normal, only the bathtub was covered with a layer of gray-black dead skin and keratin.

"Alright, come out." Wei Fangfang helped dry Chen Meiyu off, put shorts and a T-shirt on her, then sent her out to wait. She drained the bathwater herself and cleaned the tub inside and out until it was spotless, then came out.

"Oh my, Meiyu, you've changed! You're so pretty!" Li Sijie stared in surprise at the eighteen-year-old beauty, eyes wide, mouth agape.

Because she was always seeing doctors and needed something easy to take care of, Wei Fangfang had cut Chen Meiyu's hair short. Now Chen Meiyu's height was about the same as Li Sijie, Miao Qingqing and the others, and the skin on her body was as delicate and smooth as a baby's, without even a visible pore. Her facial features were fine and delicate, looking almost exactly like Wei Fangfang, a natural beauty through and through.

"Mm, she really is Meiyu!" Song Xiaodong looked at Chen Meiyu in her T-shirt and shorts and couldn't stop praising her.

Chen Meiyu was truly like a piece of fine jade. The thick keratin layer caused by her illness was like the rough stone encasing the jade. Now, after being chiseled away, the stone skin had fallen off, and she herself was revealed as a flawless piece of jade—pure, smooth, young, beautiful.

"Wow! Meiyu, you're unrecognizable!" Miao Qingqing stared at Chen Meiyu, just as astonished.

"Yeah, you're really beautiful! You're definitely going to be a great beauty in the future!" Miao Xuanxuan said.

Chen Meiyu walked over to the full-length mirror in the room and looked at herself in the glass, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Staring at her reflection in the mirror, as she kept looking, tears spilled from her eyes. She covered her face with both hands, squatted down, and burst into sobs.

"Oh, Meiyu, hey now, it's alright, your illness is cured. Look how pretty you are, what are you still crying for?" Li Sijie walked up to her, squatted down too, and patted her on the back.

Before, Chen Meiyu's appearance was truly terrifying. Although Song Xiaodong's wives hadn't shown it outwardly, they still kept a certain distance from her, not daring to get too close.

But now that Chen Meiyu had completely recovered the appearance of an eighteen-year-old girl, Li Sijie boldly stepped forward.

A little girl who had been pretty, clever, and quick-witted from a young age suddenly came down with a strange illness at twelve. Her limbs and facial features began to deform, her skin grew wrinkled, layered with dead skin and keratin, her limbs twisted and her spine curved. She went from a normal, beauty-loving little girl to a monster everyone wanted to drive away.

After that, her mother, Wei Fangfang, couldn't bear it, couldn't accept that her smart, beautiful daughter had become like this. She went everywhere seeking doctors and remedies. The family fell apart, the house was sold, and she and her daughter lived together in rented rooms. Wei Fangfang worked any job she could find every day to earn money. Since Chen Meiyu couldn't go to school, she stayed home and drew. Whenever they had a bit of money, Wei Fangfang would take her to see doctors. When the money ran out, they'd rent another place and do temp work again. In this way, six years passed.

Now, Chen Meiyu was already eighteen, the age when a girl is like a flower, in the most beautiful season of her life. Finally, heaven had mercy on the persistent: through Zhang Guomin's introduction, Chen Meiyu got the chance to meet Song Xiaodong.

After six years, Chen Meiyu had finally recovered the appearance an eighteen-year-old girl should have.

Girls all love beauty. A little girl who had originally been very pretty suddenly turning ugly—how deep a psychological wound would that cause? And then to lose her beauty and get it back again, how happy would she be?
