A Confrontation

Although her face wasn’t that of unprecedented beauty, it had a unique charm. There was a kind of beauty called temperament beauty that had nothing to do with appearance. When other girls saw her, they felt that everything around them was eclipsed and would feel ashamed of their inferiority. Celia smiled at Ceres. She had a mouthful of white teeth and bright red lips. When others applied the bright red lipstick, it was a little awkward. It was the first time Ceres had seen someone who could hold bright red lipsticks so well. "Hello, Celia!" "Hello." Johny continued, "This is my sister, Celia. She has been studying abroad all year round, so you have never seen her." The three of them sat on the sofa. Celia had accepted a good education and had also gone through professional etiquette training. Her posture was very straight and her buttock covered just half of the chair. Her legs were slightly bent to the same side and her hands were folded on her legs. She looked very elegant. Ceres had seen Zara before. She only felt that Zara was a graceful and noble lady. Her bearing was naturally excellent but was still a lot worse than that of her daughter. Celia made Ceres a lot more reserved, and Ceres quickly straightened up. The first time they met, there was naturally no topic to talk about. Therefore, Celia just talked to Johny. "Johny, the decoration of your villa is quite good. This Mediterranean style is what I like." "Is that so?" "Yes, this place is similar to the villa abroad, so I feel very familiar when I come in. When I was abroad, I rarely had this feeling. I was always lonely. I have many friends, but I always felt that something was missing." Celia curled her lips, looking playful and cute. "How are the foreign studies going?" "I’ve already gotten two degrees, which were both Ph.Ds. And I don’t have any plans to continue my studies for the time being. The main thing is that I don’t have any ideas, and I don’t know what else I can learn. Johny, why don’t you give me some ideas?" Ceres felt really awkward and picked up the fruit on the table to eat. Ceres thought, ’She had two Ph.D. degrees, but I haven’t finished my postgraduate studies yet.’ "Don’t eat cold food." Johny immediately stopped Ceres from stuffing a strawberry into her mouth. "Didn’t they say that fruits can only be eaten after they are heated?" Ceres immediately put the strawberry down. Johny’s lecturing tone made her feel embarrassed. In a trance, Celia remembered that she was here to see Ceres, and besides greeting her, she did not say a word to her. "Johny, look, it’s all my fault. I only talked to you and left Ceres to the side. Why didn’t you remind me?" Celia immediately shifted her seat and sat beside Ceres. "Ceres, I’m really sorry. Johny and I haven’t seen each other for a long time. We speak a bit more when we meet. Don’t pick on me, do you?" "Why would I pick you?" Ceres forced a smile. "You guys chat as you like." Ceres felt she was redundant. At this time, Johny’s phone rang. Johny glanced at it and hung up. "Johny, if you have something to do, go and do it. I will sit here and chat with Ceres. We girls also have some intimate words. It is inconvenient for you to be here." Johny was indeed busy with some things. He thought it was awkward to involve in the topic between girls. Johny stood up and patted Ceres’ head. "Alright, I’ll be back soon." That intimate action was especially dazzling in Celia’s eyes. After Johny left, only Celia and Ceres remained in the living room. The atmosphere suddenly became very awkward. Ceres felt that she was the master and should take good care of the guest, so she picked up the strawberry on the table and handed it to Celia. "This is a newly-picked strawberry. It is particularly sweet. Do you want to try it?" Celia smiled faintly and did not reach out. "Ceres, you should keep it for yourself. However, I have to remind you it’s better to eat less." Celia glanced at Ceres with a malicious gaze. Ceres immediately understood what Celia meant! She was indeed fat. No, it was more accurate to say that after the delivery, her body had loosened up, so she looked fatter, in particular her waist and buttock. After the morning sickness ended, she had a better appetite. She had more or less gained some fat. In addition, after she had just given birth, her belly had not completely recovered. The large pelvic bone that had been enlarged was even looser and also collapsed. Even she felt it was extremely ugly. "I just gave birth to a child, and I’m still recovering. Women have to go through this." Ceres smiled. Celia stared at Ceres’ face for a long time. "Ceres, Johny was here just now. I don’t dare to ask you. What happened to your face? Was it injured? Or was it a birthmark that was born?" "This... It’s a long story. It’s not natural." Ceres didn’t look inferior at all. Celia saw that Ceres was indifferent to her red spots and also felt jealous. With her virtue, why did Johny like her? "Ceres, you don’t have to feel embarrassed. We are all a family. I know a plastic surgery hospital. I am very familiar with it, which is good at skincare. Ceres, you can try it." "You are even familiar with the plastic surgery hospital? No wonder." Ceres covered her mouth and smiled. Celia’s face immediately collapsed! So Ceres was mocking her appearance? Her appearance was indeed not beautiful enough, but her temperament was definitely better than hers! This woman actually laughed at her! "I went with a friend before." Celia smiled awkwardly. "Is Ceres breastfeeding?" "Yes." "That’s not good, is it? I heard that when breastfeeding, a woman’s figure will change. It’s too scary. Ceres, aren’t you afraid?" "Johny is not afraid, so why should I be afraid?" Ceres shook her head. Celia was rendered speechless by this sentence! This woman’s tongue is very sharp! The two people looked at each other, their eyes filled with hostility. "Then, did you have a normal childbirth or a cesarean birth?" Celia did not seem to give up. "A normal childbirth." Ceres did not hide anything. Celia made a meaningful voice, but there was only an awkward smile on her face and she did not express any opinion. She had just found the trick of talking to Ceres, and that was to say less! Ceres did not know how to refute, but Johny just came back at this time. She got up in a hurry. "What are you guys talking about?" Johny asked with a smile.
