After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 159 What is the Price of Becoming Beautiful? Jiang Hanying's Acting Class

After a while, Lin Shuangshuang finally started typing with trembling hands.

[Ge Dahai has indeed been losing a lot of hair lately. His uncle always wears a hat, so I can't see if he has any hair or scalp... I'll try to observe him discreetly. Hanying, is that right?]

Before I could finish typing, my hand slipped and I accidentally pressed the send button.

Sent successfully!
Jiang Hanying is waiting in the lounge for her acting teacher to come and give her lesson.

Seeing the phone screen light up, he immediately reached out and grabbed it.

After reading Lin Shuangshuang's reply, my heart sank.

It really is!
Just as Pei Yuan typed out the word "good," she pushed open the door to the lounge and poked her head in. "Sis, the teacher is here. Time to go to class."

Jiang Hanying got up with her phone, took a couple of steps, and then deleted the "okay" message.

"Sis, my phone."

"what?"

"Brother Guan said this teacher is very strict and doesn't allow students to daydream or play on their phones during class. I'll keep it for you for now and return it after class."

"Not today."

Jiang Hanying walked two steps past Pei Yuan, continuing to type as she went.

Don't do anything. Find a chance to leave them.

She actually had even worse suspicions, but it wouldn't be good to tell Lin Shuangshuang now and scare her.

Lin Shuangshuang, covered by the blanket, saw Jiang Hanying's reply and her breath hitched.

She had personally witnessed how fearless Jiang Hanying was, yet now she was telling her to leave without doing anything.

This is enough to show that Jiang Hanying knows something and feels that she might be in danger if she stays here!
She listened to advice.

Although she failed to bring down Ge Dahai, and didn't find any clues about the important figure Ge Dahai mentioned, it was somewhat regrettable. But the premise was that she had to stay alive!

After replying with an "OK", she decisively threw off the covers and got out of bed. As usual, she went to the bathroom to wash up, and while brushing her teeth, she was still thinking about how to leave without leaving a trace.

During this time, Ge Dahai and his uncle did not leave the villa. The food and drinks were brought over by the aunt who cooked, and the aunt took the trash out with her when she finished cooking.

Going out to buy food or take out the trash is no longer an option.

Facial?

It has indeed been a while since I went to a beauty salon.

Lin Shuangshuang leaned closer to the mirror to check her skin condition. She had been under a lot of stress lately, and when she left her room, she had to hide it. The price she paid was that she forced herself to go to bed very late at night, and on average, she only got three or four hours of rest a day. It would be strange if her skin was in good condition.

That's really...strange!

Lin Shuangshuang looked in the mirror and touched her face, which she hadn't been in the mood to take care of lately.

Under the light, her skin was translucent, fair, and smooth, without any trace of dark circles. Even though she had just washed her face with water, it looked like she had put on a full-on no-makeup makeup look.

Pretty?

Nature is beautiful.

But seeing the eyes in the mirror that were rapidly turning into terror, Lin Shuangshuang closed her eyes, unable to look any longer, and frantically grabbed her hair.

Becoming beautiful comes at a price.

What was the price she paid?
There was a knock on the door.

Lin Shuangshuang calmly emerged from the bathroom, opened the door, and saw the person standing outside. Meeting the smiling eyes beneath the hat, she felt her blood freeze, and she didn't even know how she uttered a sound, "Uncle?"

"Don't be nervous. We've been living together for so many days, why are you still so distant? Come on, let's have a chat?"

"Talk, talk about what?"

"Let's just chat. Your hair is in great shape, it grows fast, like satin."

Before entering the classroom, Pei Yuan wanted to try one more time.

"Sis, I'll stand guard at the door. I'll give your phone back as soon as you come out, okay?" "No."

As Jiang Hanying spoke, she put her phone in her pocket, zipped it up, and pushed open the classroom door to go inside. She was still waiting to receive news that Lin Shuangshuang had left safely.

Pei Yuan was left standing there, sobbing.

As soon as I entered, I saw Guan Shan there. Sitting on the stage was an elegant lady wearing a smoky purple cheongsam with a shawl and some gray hair. She was undoubtedly the acting teacher who would be giving her a lesson later.

"They're here," Guan Shan waved to Jiang Hanying, and waited for her to come over. "Hanying, this is Teacher Tong Xiuyu. She used to be a professor in the acting department of the drama academy. The studio specially invited her to give you an advanced acting class. Listen carefully, okay?"

Seeing that Jiang Hanying nodded obediently, he felt half relieved and then turned to introduce her to Tong Xiuyu: "Teacher Tong, this is Jiang Hanying, an artist I just signed. I'll be grateful if you can give her some guidance in the next few days."

After Guan Shan finished his introduction, the old man and the young man stared at each other for several seconds.

This is Tong Xiuyu's habit when meeting new students. It's impossible for her to know every student who comes to class, unless they are like Yuan Chaoyu, who is well-known and has many representative works. In that case, she can understand the student's personal style through their works.

To her, Jiang Hanying was like a blank sheet of paper, and she needed to first examine the background of this blank sheet.

For Jiang Hanying, this gaze was even simpler; if the other person was looking at her and observing her, then she would naturally look back!

We cannot afford to lose face, nor can we afford to lose the battle.

It's in good condition.

This was Tong Xiuyu's silent assessment after observing for a while.

She judges people by their spirit and energy; if someone lacks spirit and energy, even the best physical attributes will be greatly diminished.

The girl in front of me was full of energy and spirit; she was upright, had a rosy complexion, and her eyes shone brightly.

Secondly, one should consider physical appearance and facial features.

She has a slender and well-proportioned figure, long arms and legs, a long neck, and naturally beautiful features—the kind of beauty that is very distinctive and easily recognizable.

In addition, her abundant energy and spirit also contributed to her beauty.

Her first impression of Jiang Hanying was quite good!

Jiang Hanying did not object to Tong Xiuyu's scrutiny.

The man's gaze reminded her of a top-tier swordsmith she had once encountered.

The swordsmith's gaze when he saw her true form back then was similar to this time.

The evaluation carried a hidden appreciation, and the person being evaluated didn't feel uncomfortable at all; on the contrary, she felt a little proud.

She's just that amazing!

"Alright, it's getting late, let's start class."

Guan Shan, like a parent, gave Jiang Hanying a look that said "be a good girl and attend class" before leaving the classroom.

When she came out, she saw Pei Yuan waiting outside with a bitter face. "Why do you have that expression?"

"Brother Guan, Sister Hanying took her phone inside."

Guan Shan: "..."

He waved his hand wearily, "Forget it!"

I can't exactly go back in and get my phone back, can I? Hopefully, that girl has silenced it!

But things often don't go as planned.

Tong Xiuyu's class had just begun when the buzzing of cell phones filled the quiet classroom.

She paused, her face turning cold. "Didn't Guan Shan warn you beforehand that students aren't allowed to bring cell phones to my classes?"

Jiang Hanying quickly took out her phone: "I already told you, but this is a matter of life and death. Teacher Tong, please take a break, I'll listen to a voice message first."

Tong Xiuyu: "..."

This was the first time she had ever seen a student bring a cell phone to her class and be so brazen about it!
