Lin Shanchu frowned as she asked, “Why would I find you annoying?”
There was a period of time when she did not see Huo Xunzhou for half a month, but she felt nothing was wrong with it.
Now that she had to see him several times a day, she was not used to it. Even though Lin Shanchu felt guilty, she looked like she was wronged judging from her expression and tone.
Huo Xunzhou was silent for a moment before sighing. ‘Where are you going to meet Miss Ming? I’ll take you there.”
Huo Xunzhou left after dropping Lin Shanchu off at the place she and Ming Yao had agreed to meet.
After Lin Shanchu got out of the car, she leaned against the window and said considerately, “You go first. I’ll watch you leave.”
Huo Xunzhou snorted. “Go in.”
“Oh.” Lin Shanchu turned around and left, followed by a group of bodyguards.
When she reached the entrance, she turned around and saw that Huo Xunzhou’s car was still parked there.
She could not see Huo Xunzhou’s face anymore, but still she waved in his
direction.
In the next second, a short whistle sounded.
Lin Shanchu went in, satisfied.
As soon as she entered the restaurant, someone greeted her respectfully.
“Miss Lin, please follow me.”
The appointment with Ming Yao this time was not at Boya Hotel. It seemed to be a restaurant with great privacy.
The well-trained employee was obviously startled when he saw the large group of bodyguards following behind Lin Shanchu.
Lin Shanchu said calmly, “Thank you.”
When they arrived at the entrance of the private room, the bodyguards stayed outside while Lin Shanchu pushed the door open and entered alone.
The moment she went in, everyone in the private room looked at her.
Lin Shanchu looked at the scene in the room and tilted her head in surprise.
She thought that Ming Yao was going to ask her out for a meal alone. She did not expect it to be a dinner party.
Moreover, all of them were women.
Lin Shanchu roughly counted the women. There were about ten of them.
There were three empty seats next to the round table.
Ming Yao was not here yet.
Lin Shanchu walked straight over and sat down, calmly accepting the gazes of the others.
Lin Shanchu casually glanced around and realized that they were all familiar faces. They were all people she had met at Patriarch Chengs birthday banquet and most of them were friends with Cheng Fanjing. Oh, it turned out to be a socialite tea party.
In that case, things got interesting.
Everyone present knew that she did not get along with Cheng Fanjing, but still the host invited her to this tea party..
It was obvious that the host wanted to see her fight with Cheng Fanjing.
The person who invited her over was really up to no good.
She almost forgot that the person who invited her was Ming Yao.
Yeah, Ming Yao was really up to no good.
No wonder Ming Yao only asked her out for a meal at the beginning and did not mention that it was a socialite tea party. Otherwise, she would not have come over.
After the group of socialites sized Lin Shanchu up thoroughly, they exchanged glances with each other, deliberately not saying anything to make Lin Shanchu feel awkward.
However, Lin Shanchu did not show an awkward expression. She even asked the waiter to make him a cup of black tea.
The woman sitting opposite Lin Shanchu suddenly spoke.
“Have you heard? Recently, the second son of the Li family found a girl from somewhere. She had no judgment at all and offended people everywhere. In less than a week, she was kicked away by the second son of the Li family.” Someone started the conversation, and soon, someone else chimed in.
“That girl? You don’t know yet, right? I heard that she’s a starlet. Some starlets these days act high and mighty, and their quality is not good either.”
“That’s right. A starlet whose name I’ve never even heard of dares to be so arrogant.”
“If you ask me, there are very few good women in the entertainment industry.”
“Don’t say that. There are still some good ones.”
“That might not be the case…”
The accusation was too obvious.
Lin Shanchu felt sorry for them if she did not step in to confront them.
“Don’t let Brother Xunzhou hear your words, or else he will be angry.”
Lin Shanchu leaned back in the chair and spoke softly, looking gentle and harmless.
The woman who had just started the conversation seemed to have finally found an opportunity. She snorted coldly and said, “We didn’t mention you. Why are you admitting yourself to be the one criticized?”
“We haven’t even said anything yet, and she’s already using Huo Xunzhou to pressure us. This kind of person is really…
Lin Shanchu’s eyes widened in confusion. “So you’re talking about me? I thought you were talking about Yun Wu.”
The person who was talking just now instantly fell silent.
The private room fell into a dead silence.
Lin Shanchu took a sip of black tea and said slowly, “Brother Xunzhou and Yun
Wu are very close, so watch your mouth.”
The Yun family has a close relationship with the Huo family and the Cheng family. Yun Wu was not someone that anyone could talk about.
Therefore, everyone’s expression changed when Lin Shanchu mentioned Yun wu.
Only then did they remember that Yun Wu had a deep friendship with Lin Shanchu.
For a moment, no one dared to make a sound.
A moment later, someone smiled and said, “We’re just casually talking about the common phenomenon in the entertainment industry. Miss Lin, don’t overthink it.”
“Yes.” Lin Shanchu replied with a smile, “I heard that some families with a little bit of property will choose business marriage and use their children’s marriage as a tool to exchange for benefits and cooperation.”
The impatient person stood up immediately, pointed at Lin Shanchu and scolded her.
“Lin Shanchu! Stop talking nonsense! ”
“I was just talking about the common phenomenon in your circle. Miss, don’t overthink it. ”
Lin Shanchu looked around and slowly added, “Everyone here, don’t overthink it.”
All the socialites present felt that they had been insulted.
However, since they were the ones who attacked Lin Shanchu by innuendo in the first place, it was inappropriate for them to say anything now.
All of them were holding back their anger as they lowered their heads and drank their tea with ashen faces.
Only Lin Shanchu was still smiling.
“The tea here is really good.”
The more unhappy these socialites were, the happier she was.
Soon, Lin Shanchu felt a little disappointed.
No one here was a match for her. Why was Ming Yao not here yet?
Just as this thought crossed her mind, the door of the private room was pushed open again.
“Sorry, I’m late.”
Ming Yao was still wearing a professional suit, as if she had just finished work and rushed over from the company.
Everyone stood up as if they had seen their savior.
“Sister Ming, come and sit.”
“You are not late. We just arrived.”
“Sister Ming, what do you want to drink?”
Ming Yao smiled lightly and skillfully dealt with them, not leaving any of them behind.
After dealing with the others, Ming Yao sat down beside Lin Shanchu and asked. “When did vou arrive?”
“I’ve been here for a while.” Lin Shanchu looked at Ming Yao eloquently. “I chatted with everyone for quite a while.”
Ming Yao’s eyes flashed as she chuckled. “It seems that you all and Miss Lin have gotten to know each other. I’ll skip the introduction then..”
