Shui Anjiao’s expression was certainly very exciting at this moment, she looked as if she was going to fly into a terrible rage at the next second. However, she still had a bit of logic left in her so she squeezed out an ugly smile that, in her mind, was very pretty.
“The fact that you’re here makes me happy enough, why would I want a present from you?” Shui Anjiao chuckled and shot Yuanyuan, who was next to her, a meaningful look.
Yuanyuan understood immediately. She puffed her not-so-large chest up and exclaimed in a purposefully syrupy voice, “Sister Anluo, your dress looks familiar, I think I saw an auntie wearing this exact same dress as she bought vegetables at the market when I passed by this morning.”
Yuanyuan’s words were clearly mocking Shui Anluo for wearing the same outfit as an auntie from the wet market.
Shui Anluo slowly nodded. She stared at the arrogant Yuanyuan and gently lifted the corners of her lips. “Miss Wei, is Director Wei aware that you’re here today?”
Shui Anluo’s light and airy words slammed into Yuanyuan’s ears and caused her to tremble. Her father had not permitted her to interact with Shui Anjiao but how could she miss out on such a good party?
At the end of the day, she was just trying to get into the upper class.
Shui Anjiao took the opportunity to chime in, “Luoluo, if you have nothing to wear, you can always tell me and I can buy something for you. See, what you’ve worn here…”
“If you have no taste, you should shut your mouth. You won’t be able to buy this outfit even if you sold yourself. Of course, you’re not worth that much money either.”
Before Shui Anluo could retaliate, a sharper voice suddenly cut in.
When Shui Anluo heard the familiar voice, she immediately turned around and saw the man who was walking towards them as everyone stared. She mildly raised the corners of her lips into a sweet smile.
Naturally, Chu Ningyi heard Mo Lusu’s voice as well. He looked up and noticed the infatuated smile on Shui Anluo’s face. Director Chu felt very annoyed. He had done so much for her but why was he no match for Mo Lusu who received a smile just by saying some words?
Hence, Chu Ningyi’s expression darkened.
“Senior Brother,” Shui Anluo called out to him with a smile.
Mo Lusu nodded as he walked towards Shui Anluo. He was dressed in a white tuxedo today. He has a fondness for the color white perhaps due to his occupation.
Mo Lusu looked down at Chu Ningyi and spoke like a gentleman, “Director Chu, long time no see.”
“I did not expect you to be here, Doctor Mo.” Though Chu Ningyi was cursing internally at the ungrateful Shui Anluo, he could not show anything on the surface and his tone was just as graceful as ever.
“I received an invitation, it would be rude of me if I didn’t come, right?” Mo Lusu smiled and replied. He then looked at Shui Anluo again, “What was the result of that previous incident?”
“It’s been sorted, thank you for your concern, Senior Brother.” Shui Anluo continued to smile. It was a great feeling to receive someone’s concern.
‘Smiling, still smiling!’
‘Her eyes are going to disappear soon and yet she’s still smiling!’
Chu Ningyi stared at Shui Anluo’s smiling face and dearly wanted to rip her to pieces. However, he tolerated it when he remembered that she was his future wife.
From a distance, Qiao Yaruan’s eyes lit up at the sight of Mo Lusu and she charged forward without a second thought. “Senior Brother, you’re here, I’ve been waiting for you.”
Silver Screen King Feng watched from a distance as the woman attached herself onto someone else and for some strange reason, he was filled with a fiery rage. She had caused Qirou’s death but she was still able to smile now and throw herself into another man’s arms?
Mo Lusu stared at Qiao Yaruan then looked at Shui Anluo’s pleading eyes. He immediately understood what was going on so he did not push Qiao Yaruan away.
“Who are you? Who let you in here?” Shui Anjiao was still simmering over Mo Lusu’s words when she saw the averagely-dressed Qiao Yaruan and immediately directed all her anger onto the woman.
