Chapter 183
A few of them were getting gradually excited as they spoke, laughing gleefully from time to time. Their conversation was steered towards their complete failure to understand the actress' refusal towards Master Guo, despising and defaming her along the way.
Fade Chen and the gang, who were originally in a good mood heard this, and their expressions immediately darkened. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
This was because the protagonist of their conversation, the actress who was so-called "playing innocent" was no other than Yuri Zhang.
Momo Soo had an extremely bad temper and was easily provoked. Seeing those people talking recklessly had made her so angry that she slammed the plate of fruits onto the table and walked towards them, boiling with anger.
Yuri Zhang's face was filled with worry as she tried to hold Momo Soo back, consoling, "Please don't go. I'm fine, it's okay."
"But I can't stand them talking about you like that, Yuri." Momo Soo huffed angrily.
Yuri Zhang's face turned grey, a faint smile appearing on her lips as she said, "Momo, I
knew that something like this would happen the moment I signed the contract. Being a celebrity, it's difficult to please everyone. Rumors are just what they are."
"But they've crossed a line..." Momo Soo couldn't bring herself to calm down.
Yuri Zhang tried to talk some sense into her, "Above all, we're here because senior had invited us. It's not going to be good for her if you get into an argument with them."
Although she wasn't a fan of Chessca Tan's snobby attitude, but all things aside, she did manage to entertain them as guests here. After hearing so, Momo Soo could only try to hold back her anger for now by stuffing a few pieces of fruit into her mouth. She said, "Parties like these are no fun. Let's come up with an excuse to leave later."
"Sure." Yuri Zhang nodded in reply.
The anger on this side was just beginning to subside, but none of them in Chessca Tan's posse had the intention to refrain themselves. They were just getting started.
It was to the extent that Chessca Tan even waved at Momo Soo and asked, "Momo, you studied in Bay City, didn't you? The celebrity's from Bay City as well, you must know some things. Come here and tell us. What's wrong with that innocent acting bitch who's foolish enough to reject Master Guo's unspoken rule?"
Chessca Tan's group were grinning from ear to ear, looking very interested in this conversation.
"That's what she is. Foolish."
"A female celebrity from Bay City, maybe she didn't know our Master Guo's real identity."
"She's just a bitch who doesn't know what's good for her, if you ask me."
Yuri Zhang just managed to gather her composure when she heard all the nasty comments, and couldn't help but feel down in the dumps again. She kept her head low as she bit her lips, tears welling up in her eyes.
Fade Chen rushed over and gently held Yuri Zhang in his embrace as he began comforting her softly.
Thanks to Momo Soo's temper, she couldn't hold it any longer when she heard the words and she erupted furiously, "Do you even know what really happened? Don't talk rubbish if you don't know anything about it!"
They were stunned because obviously, they didn't anticipate such a huge reaction from her.
A glum look appeared on their faces as they looked at Momo Soo, before their gaze landed on Chessca Tan.
Chessca Tan's face was drained of its color in an instant. She knew what they were trying to indicate: she had brought someone who was ignorant of the social workings with her to the party. Surely, that meant that she had to deal with it herself.
Displeased, Chessca Tan quickened her pace towards Momo Soo and growled in a low voice, "Momo, what's gotten into you, raising your voice at everyone? Apologize, quickly."
Just as Momo Soo was starting to have a better impression of Chessca Tan, she did nothing but to completely disappoint her instead.
Momo Soo snorted rudely and said, "You want me to apologize? What a joke! If you really want to hear my opinion, you guys are the ones who need to apologize."
"Momo, you've gone too far. These people are... For instance, Mikael Xu or Master Xu here, is..." said Chessca Tan as she pointed at the tall and good looking man in a suit.
But Momo Soo interrupted her and said, "I don't care who you are. You've defiled her for no reason, and what for?"
"Also, don't judge others with that petty standard of yours. You may think that the unspoken rules are glorious, but don't assume that others feel the same way as well. When you gaze into the
abyss, so shall it stare back at you. You guys are ridiculous." Momo Soo erupted into a ball of flames, attacking everyone with her words.
Chessca Tan's group was made up of the rich and famous in Hanover City. They had never experienced a scolding like this before, and they were immediately visibly irked at the insults that were being thrown at them. The woman in her red dress who started the conversation in the first place especially, was aggravated. She threw her champagne glass onto the floor and glared furiously at Momo Soo, "Are you scolding us?"
"It would be an insult to my lips if I did." Momo Soo answered, her voice filled with hatred.
Chessca Tan, right now, was a mixture of anxiety and fury. She quickly bowed in repentance towards the group of people, then glared at Momo Soo and growled at her, "Momo Soo, what is wrong with you? I brought you here to get you acquainted with the noble, and you came here to look for trouble. Besides, we're just casually talking about a puny celebrity, what does it have to do with you anyways?"
"I don't need it." Momo Soo puffed furiously, then stole a glance at Yuri Zhang.
Chessca Tan looked in the same direction that she was looking at, and she was stunned. After a brief pause, she looked at Momo Soo in realization and said, "I remember that you've told me about your roommate who was good at singing, and that her popularity rose during one of your school's art festivals. That's her, right? The actress who'd rejected Master Guo?"
Chessca Tan had her finger pointed at Yuri Zhang.
Momo Soo snorted, she didn't give a direct answer but her body language betrayed her, affirming to what Chessca Tan had just said.
In the blink of an eye, everyone, including the woman in red, was looking towards Yuri Zhang. Usually, one would feel embarrassed if someone's heard them gossiping about others, but they were different. They took one look at Yuri Zhang before their faces beamed with pride and arrogance with not a shred of conscientiousness. Even more so, they started checking her out from the top to bottom with a condescending look on their faces.
The woman in red had done so specifically. Puckering her lips, she said disdainfully, "I just can't figure out what she has that I don't. What was it that Master Guo saw in her?"
Momo Soo glared at the woman in red. If it weren't for Yuri Zhang who had grabbed onto her in time, she would've made her way towards them and given her a decent beating.
Chessca Tan found herself in a dilemma. It wasn't ideal that she was talking behind others' back and was caught in the act. However, the group that she was gossiping with were the rich and the famous, all of which she wanted to butter up to. She couldn't afford to offend any of them.
Chessca Tan was in the middle of coming up with a solution when someone shouted, "I just got off the phone with Master Guo and he said he'll be here soon. So hype up, guys, let's give Master Guo a warm welcome later."
As soon as these words were said, the atmosphere in the room stirred in enthusiasm. This was because said Master Guo, aka Haldon Guo, was considered the most privileged out of everyone here.
After all, there were only two other big shots who preceded Master Guo's father, Dominic Guo's social status in Hanover City. One of them was Stirlake City's hotshot Hubert Qian, also known as Big Brother Qian, and the other was Shawn Hu, the head of a martial arts aristocratic family, the Hu Family. These two were the equivalent to Bay City's Jimmy Wei and Aaron Wan.
