Chinese actress Yang Mi’s quite the looker, and like any other female celeb, has been plagued by ever-persistent rumours of having gone under the knife to achieve her good looks.

Well, luckily for Yang Mi, it seems like she won’t have to pull an Angelababy to get a doctor to examine her face on television ‘cos she’s got her dad ready to stand up for her at any moment.

The 34-year-old’s dad is very active on Weibo, where he posts details about his life, as well as pictures of Yang Mi’s latest magazine spreads and endorsements. And his posts have been gaining attention lately.

In October, Yang Mi’s dad, who goes by the nickname “Relaxed Xiao Lin Ge” on Weibo, posted a series of photos of Yang Mi as a kid, showing that the actress looks pretty much the same now as she did then.

Fans flocked to leave comments praising the actress for her beauty, commenting that Yang Mi’s dad must have posted the pics as a subtle way of deflecting the actress’s plastic surgery rumours.

A few days ago, however, Yang Mi’s dad took to his Weibo again, this time to poke fun at Yang Mi’s looks.

“I always felt that this little brat looked prettier when she was a child. But now that I know more about fashion [I have to admit] that she’s pretty good looking still. She’s almost catching up to her dad now,” he wrote, adding a couple of photos of Yang Mi posing for a photoshoot.

His post, of course, attracted loads of attention from Yang Mi’s fans, with the actress herself commenting: “[I’m only] beautiful ‘cos you’re beautiful too.”
