Chapter 73 - Comparing Status? (1/2)

Soon after Chen Mu's proper introduction of Susu, everyone found their seats and settled down as the host began his opening speech. In short, the host had recently opened up a new restaurant and catered tonight's event to promote the main courses, desserts, and drinks. He made sure to keep it straightforward and avoided wordy business with the guests. When he finished giving the speech, everyone gathered around the food servers and eagerly waited for their turn to try out different dishes.

Chen Mu was sucked into more business conversations, so Susu excused herself with Lily to get food for both of them. She was understanding and very welcoming when meeting his business partners and friends. This made many men feel envy towards Chen Mu for finding someone so special and unique.

When Lily and Susu were in line for food, others started conversations with them and they quickly became friends. Meanwhile, Karen was biting her chapped lips and devouring the peeling dead skin with lipstick tint on it because nobody voluntarily spoke to her. Nobody pitied her for getting dragged into the previous conversation. Nobody praised her beauty and all her efforts that she had spent on dressing up. She wasn't able to pass out a single business card tonight because her spotlight was taken by Lily and Susu.

Seeing Lily and Susu's smiling faces made her even more furious as she thought of herself as the joke of the event. To her, the outfit that she chose tonight was better than everyone else, yet everyone decided to ignore her because they wanted to kiss up to Chen Mu. She thought that the only reason why she didn't receive any mentions was due to the fact that she was Tian Yuo's girlfriend.

The earlier conversation amongst the crowd already made him come off as a jerk. Therefore, in her mind, it made sense for people to avoid talking to her. At the same time, Tian Yuo was too engaged in talking to his other friends that he neglected her. She was alone and had chugged down the second glass of Hennessy.

When she saw how happy Lily and Susu looked from a distance, her fingers clenched on the glass tightly. How could she end up this miserable while they took all the fun from her? 'No! I will ruin their day like they had ruined mine. The only thing is that Chen Mu is more powerful than Tian Yuo, so I can't publicly go against Susu. On the other hand, that feisty woman, Lily, is only the daughter of another prestigious family.'

She smirked and took a glass of red wine from the table, 'I'll return the embarrassment thousands of folds this time... Pretty red dress, but let's see how pretty it will look after this..” The moment Karen started walking towards them, Susu already caught the evil grin on her face. She whispered to Lily, ”Watch out.”

Karen seemed to have noticed that she had been found out. Therefore, she quickened her pace and even tripped over her own foot while fast walking towards them. Though she was half tripping, a wide smile appeared on her face as the red wine from the glass messily escaped from the glass.

When she fell, she thought that she could pull Lily down with her. Once again, she had miscalculated. Susu would never allow anyone to hurt or embarrass her precious friend. As soon as she saw what was coming, she warned Lily and moved her out of the way to avoid the spill.

”Ahhhh!” Karen shrieked when she fell, scr.a.p.ed her limbs against the rough carpet and missed her target by a few inches. Her dress was barely long enough to cover her knees. When her body fell, the bottom half of her dress flipped upwards and was rolled up even further when her limbs scr.a.p.ed on the carpet; revealing her granny underpants.

Normally, she wore s.e.xy lingerie underneath, but her period came and she didn't want to risk dirtying her good quality pairs. Now, she really regretted her decision as she felt the cold air reach her inner thighs and heard murmurs about her tasteless panties. She quickly adjusted her dress as she stood up and hoped that none of it was caught on anyone's camera.

She gritted her teeth and tried pushing the blame on Susu for moving Lily away. ”How could you move away when you saw someone falling? The decent thing to do is reach out and help them before they fall! Hah and Chen Mu actually complimented you in front of everyone. I don't see how well you were brought up for having such ill manners!”
