Chapter 102: Socialite
Chen Man knew He Yaoxing well, so when she heard what she said, she naturally had a plan in mind.
Which of these rich and powerful families didn’t have an elite for their marriage alliance? Looks, family background and capabilities. Each of them individually couldn’t be underestimated.
He Youran was the daughter of a small family who hadn’t even graduated from junior high school. She wasn’t favored, and she also had autism. She definitely lacked in specialties and social skills. She didn’t need to do anything else. Just this alone could make her look bad.
Chen Man nodded her head in understanding. The way she looked at He Youran became more and more vicious.
After the Lu family finished their opening remarks as the host, it was time for everyone to chat and have fun. People with all kinds of thoughts gathered together. Some were chatting, and some were talking about business matters.
Lu Shouxin had been admitted to his ancestors and returned to his family. He was also the future successor of the Lu family. Old Madam Lu waited for the banquet to begin and had Lu Qingzhuo bring Lu Shouxin to meet people. He Youran wasn’t interested in socializing at all. She only found a seat and sat down. She kept her eyes on Lu Shouxin’s side to prevent anyone from harming him.
At this moment, a group of socialites came in front of He Youran.
The light in front of her was blocked by a group of beautiful women dressed in various colors. He Youran’s line of sight was blocked and she subconsciously raised her head. She frowned as she looked at this group of women who clearly had ill intentions.
Why did she feel that they came with ill intentions?
Of course, it was because Chen Man was among them.
Not to mention, not far from the group, there was He Yaoxing watching.
“Mrs. Lu.”
One of them opened his mouth and greeted her first.
But, even though she called her Mrs. Lu, her eyes were filled with disdain. It was obvious that she did not take He Youran seriously.
“What do you want?” He Youran asked impatiently.
The other party obviously had bad intentions, so she wasn’t interested in being polite.
“Can’t I chat with you if I don’t want anything?”
The person smiled sweetly.
“Men are responsible for fighting in the business world, while women are responsible for being as beautiful as a flower. Once you become Mrs. Lu, you’ll be a member of imperial capital’s wealthy circle. Once we get to know you, it’ll be convenient for us to have gatherings in the future.”
He Youran didn’t say anything.
In this circle, it was true that one had to socialize regardless of the situation. However, when she thought about how she had to get along with this group of scheming women, she was a little unhappy.
“As expected of someone from a small family. You still have such an attitude when you see sister Zhao Jin!”
Chen Man held an exquisite small folding fan and half-opened it to cover her lips. She glanced sideways at He Youran and said disdainfully,
“Sister Zhao Jin is the daughter of the Zhao family in the imperial capital. In recent years, they have almost caught up with the Lu family. Even Old Madam Lu has to give her some face when she sees her. Yet, you’ve just married into the Lu family and already you don’t know your place!”
Zhao Jin and He Yaoxing were on good terms. Today, she was doing this first to stand up for He Yaoxing, and second, to show off to He Youran. Initially, she thought that He Youran would know her identity and try to curry favor with her. However, He Youran was cold, and made it seem like she was being thick-skinned.
Especially after Chen Man said that, she felt that she was being neglected and her expression became even worse.
“Miss Zhao.”
He Youran didn’t want to make things difficult for Lu Qingzhuo in the business world because of such a small matter, so she responded to Zhao Jin. As for Chen Man, she chose to ignore her.
When Chen Man saw her like this, she almost crushed the folding fan in her hands!
She was such a petty person!
When she saw that the Zhao family had power, she was willing to open her filthy mouth!
On the surface, she looked noble, but she still had to bow down to the powerful. She wanted to see how long He Youran could keep up her pretense!
