“Are you sure you’re alright?” Luo Anning asked worriedly.
Lu Momo grinned at her and urged her to enter first. Luo Anning finally felt a little more relieved and entered the ballroom together with Rong Yan.
She did not want to let Tang Chao continue bullying Lu Momo. How could she let the adorable Lu Momo continue letting the beast Tang Chao trample all over her!?!
Back at the banquet hall, Old Mr. Chen had already finished his speech on the stage and announced the official start of the banquet. A waiter of the hotel pushed the cake out on a cart. Old Mr. Chen cut the cake together with his grandchildren and was now cheering loudly.
Luo Anning did not like such crowded events because she often felt out of place and most importantly, she did not like putting up a pretense to socialize with others.
Tang Chao and Rong Yan chatted merrily while holding up glasses of champagne in their hands. Feng Churui began walking towards them from a short distance away. Standing together, the three of them were so attractive and eye-catching that they seemed like luminous entities which attracted everyone’s attention.
Feeling extremely bored to be alone, Luo Anning cocked her head towards the side to speak to Rong Yan before walking towards the self-service kiosk to get a slice of cheesecake for herself.
Feng Churui noticed that Luo Anning was walking away. Sensing his gaze, Tang Chao poked him and asked, “Rui, what are you staring at? You’re so distracted.”
Tang Chao looked in the direction of his gaze, only to catch a glimpse of Luo Anning’s back. He immediately teased, “Surely you can’t be attracted to that woman Luo Anning? Rui, this isn’t right. Although Yan doesn’t like her, you shouldn’t covet your friend’s wife… ”
“You’re reading too much into it,” Feng Churui said calmly before changing the subject. On the other hand, Rong Yan simply sipped on some champagne, seemingly deep in thought.
The pastries prepared by the chefs of Imperial Court were exceptionally delicious. Luo Anning initially only planned to have one small slice. However, she got addicted as soon as she took a bite and went on to have a few more slices because she could not help herself at all.
By the time she was done, she suddenly realized that her stomach was extremely bloated. She pressed a hand on her forehead and burped, thinking to herself that it must have been the consequences of her gluttony.
She scanned her surroundings in the banquet hall, only to realize that Lu Momo was nowhere in sight. Feeling rather stuffed, she decided to go outside to take a walk to aid in digestion.
“Luo Anning, you shameless wretch!”
As soon as Luo Anning turned around, she was caught off guard by a glass of red wine that was splashed against her face. Luo Xinya was standing in front of her, grimacing while holding onto an empty glass.
Clearly, Luo Xinya was the one who had splashed the red wine onto her face.
Luo Xinya’s loud voice caught the attention of all the guests who immediately rushed forth and broke into commotion. Luo Anning embarrassedly raised her hand and cupped it onto her face, ignoring the fact that her gown had been stained with wine that was making her feel sticky all over. Staring at Luo Xinya, she was surprisingly not angry.
She stared at her quietly as an icy cold light glowed in her beautiful eyes. Luo Xinya shivered and took a step back, although she soon got infuriated again after thinking about what Luo Anning had done to her.
“Luo Anning, you bitch! How despicable of you to threaten others around me into betraying me?!” Luo Xinya tried to step forward to grab Luo Anning, but the latter quickly dodged.
Just an hour ago, she became a viral topic on the internet as netizens discussed the incident of her abusing her assistant, on various major discussion forums following the leaking of the news. On top of that, the matter about her drug addiction was also exposed, together with pictures and text evidence. There was no way for her to deny it at all!
