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 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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtrefrain themselves. They were just getting started. It was to the extent that Chesca Tan even waved at
Momo Soo and asked, "Momo, you studied in Bay City, didn’t you? The celebrities 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 Chesca 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, Chesca 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 Chesca 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. Chesca Tan
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. Chesca
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. Chesca 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
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwho’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. Chesca 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..
