Second pregnancy, sixth child: The beloved mom's disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 285 Why should a petty person be allowed to gain power?

What happened to your face?

Ning Yao frowned slightly and turned to look in the mirror. She noticed that her fair skin was covered with small red spots, just like when she had measles as a child. They were scattered everywhere and very itchy.

She couldn't help but reach out to grab it, but Cui Mengmeng held it tightly.

"Don't arrest me! I'll call a car right now and take you to the hospital!" Cui Mengmeng was extremely worried and quickly took out her phone to make a call.

The noise from the dressing room startled Tang Xiaoge, who had just finished his makeup. He had shaved his beard, and his makeup was refreshing and gentle, but his eyebrows were heroic, giving him the air of a soldier.

Tang Xiaoge had just entered when she spotted Ning Yao sitting directly opposite the door.

The red spots on her face were increasing and seemed to be getting bigger, which looked horrifying.

"What's going on?!"

"Whose cosmetics does Miss Luo use?"

Tang Xiaoge shouted, her tone exceptionally sharp, sending chills down one's spine.

Sister Lin's hand went limp on the spot, and she accidentally drew Zhao Peier's eyebrows crookedly with the eyebrow pencil. Zhao Peier was furious, but because Tang Xiaoge was in the dressing room, she didn't dare to do anything rash. She could only endure it and wipe her eyebrows with a cotton pad soaked in makeup remover.

"The cosmetics are mine, but I use them all the time and have never had such a severe allergic reaction before. There's nothing wrong with the cosmetics; I bought them from authorized stores..." Sister Lin quickly explained, while trying to think of a way to smooth things over.

"Is there something wrong with those bayberries? I saw Luo Xiyao was fine when she was putting on makeup, but she turned out like this after eating bayberries. Could it be that she's allergic to bayberries?" Zhao Peier wiped away the dark brown marks on her eyebrows and said coquettishly.

"Assistant Cui, you don't need to take a taxi. I'll have my car take her to the hospital." Tang Xiaoge frowned and glanced at Ning Yao, whose face was allergic. Her voice lowered, and a hint of concern flashed in her eyes.

"I don't need to go to the hospital, it's just an allergy, I'll be fine soon, don't delay the filming." Ning Yao waved her hand in refusal, suppressing the urge to scratch her face.

"This is hilarious! How are you going to take costume photos looking like this? Do you think our female lead is a leper?"

"Pfft, you'd better hurry to the hospital. What if you're too late and they can't save your pretty face?"

Zhao Peier scoffed, making no attempt to hide her schadenfreude.

"I think it was you who did this!" Cui Mengmeng was furious and stepped forward to argue with Zhao Peier.

"Don't make baseless accusations! I arrived later than you, and I haven't touched any of those cosmetics at all," Zhao Peier retorted, standing up to refute Cui Mengmeng.

"How am I making false accusations? You stole Yao Yao's makeup artist as soon as you arrived, and now that Yao Yao is in trouble, you're still swaggering around. I suspect you're the one who did the dirty work!"

"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I reserve the right to pursue legal action against you for defaming me. If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll call my lawyer!"

"Stop dawdling here, we still need to get our makeup done and have our official photos taken."

Zhao Peier stepped forward in her high heels and shoved Cui Mengmeng without any politeness, almost causing the unprepared Cui Mengmeng to fall.

Ning Yao suddenly stood up from the dressing table, her cold eyes revealing a fierce look.

Whether I go to the hospital or not is none of your business. You all go about your business!

Tang Xiaoge raised an eyebrow and looked at Ning Yao, a slight smile playing on her lips, her eyes revealing a hint of appreciation.

This little girl has quite the courage.

If it were any other female celebrity, they might have fainted from crying after experiencing such a skin blemish, but she remained calm and composed.

Cui Mengmeng looked anxiously at Ning Yao. The allergy marks on her face were getting worse and worse. Yao Yao must be feeling very uncomfortable right now.

She didn't know Ning Yao had any allergies, and now she began to suspect that it was her own bayberry that was the problem, and she felt extremely guilty.

"It's all my fault. I didn't know you were allergic to bayberries. You really are something, eating them even though you're allergic!"

"I'm not allergic to bayberries, don't overthink it," Ning Yao reassured Cui Mengmeng, then reached out and ruffled her hair.

After calming Cui Mengmeng down, Ning Yao tensed her shoulders, turned around, and looked sharply at everyone in the dressing room, scanning them one by one before finally fixing her gaze on Tang Xiaoge.

"Mr. Tang, please have the cosmetics I just used tested by a professional. I suspect someone put something in them. I, Luo Xiyao, will not let this matter go so easily."

"As for the shooting process, please rest assured, I have a way to cover up the marks on my face, and it will not affect the shooting schedule of the makeup photos later."

"Don't push yourself. If you don't get medical treatment soon, your face might be scarred and you could be disfigured." Tang Xiaoge clearly didn't recommend Ning Yao's approach, and the appreciation she had for Ning Yao faded somewhat.

I never expected her to be such a reckless and impulsive person. She didn't even care about her own safety for the sake of filming. Was she smart or stupid?

"I'm going to the restroom. Mengmeng, let's cancel the car we called. We don't need to go to the hospital; I can take care of it quickly."

Ning Yao left the dressing room alone after saying that, heading towards the women's restroom.

Tang Xiaoge watched her departing figure, then thoughtfully raised his hand and touched his chin.

In just a few seconds, Tang Xiaoge reverted to her usual gentle and indifferent demeanor and began to instruct her assistants on their tasks.

"Find someone to collect all these cosmetics and send them for testing. Also, save the surveillance footage from the dressing room."

After speaking, Tang Xiaoge glanced around the dressing room as if by chance. No one looked unusual except for Sister Lin.

Sister Lin's hands and feet were trembling, and her face was deathly pale.

However, her panic stemmed from fear and anxiety about the impending punishment, not from the guilt of the instigator.

Tang Xiaoge raised an eyebrow again, having formed a rough deduction in her mind.

It seems we won't find anything of value, and Lin Jie will probably be the only one taking the blame.

Since the cosmetics belong to her, she doesn't even pay attention to whether her own things have been tampered with.

Inside the restroom.

Ning Yao gritted her teeth and endured the unbearable itching on her face, using the spiritual spring in her space to treat her skin allergy.

She couldn't know for sure what drugs the other person had put in the cosmetics, but it was definitely a chemical that would cause her skin to break out.

Time passed by, and Ning Yao spent a full fifteen minutes in the bathroom.

Ning Yao's makeup was basically done before she had an allergic reaction.

Ning Yao was fairly satisfied with her makeup. Although she couldn't compare to the experienced Lin Jie, she could already see a bit of the female protagonist's features. Combined with her expressions and movements, she actually looked about 70-80% like her...

Cui Mengmeng waited anxiously outside, occasionally asking a question or two.

I felt a little relieved after confirming that Ning Yao was alright in the bathroom.

Worried that Ning Yao might get into trouble if she didn't go to the hospital, she had no choice but to contact Ning Yao's son, the biology genius Ning Moran, via WeChat.

The bathroom door clicked open, and Cui Mengmeng quickly ran inside. The moment she looked up, she was utterly shocked.

Ning Yao came out, and the red rash on her face was no longer visible. Her skin was smooth and elastic, and her makeup was flawless with no trace of concealer.

This doesn't look like someone who just had a face full of pockmarks.

"Yaoyao, what's wrong with you..."

"You...you're amazing! Your hands are even more skillful than a makeup artist's!"

"But if you cover up the rash with makeup, won't that make you sick? Maybe we should take a day off. The makeup photos don't necessarily have to be taken today. Actor Tang seems easy to talk to, so he shouldn't make things difficult for you."

"No need." Ning Yao raised one eyebrow and looked herself over in the smooth, shiny bathroom mirror.

"Ha, why should those scoundrels get away with this? I'm going to go back unscathed and blind those scoundrels with my brilliance."
