Chapter 8 - VIP guests (1/2)
”You as pretty as before.” Jing Lihua grabbed a comb and tried to do unravel the nest of her hair.
”See? That's what I've been trying to tell that old man! Humph!”
”She didn't say you are not fat.” Mo Liang laughed.
”You...”
”Don't worry Zhao Liying. Fat people are human too. I know you are here to get an immediate reservation at your favorite Italian restaurant. Let me call my secretary to reserve a private room for us. We'll leave once I get dressed.”
”Now that's my Xiao Hua.” Zhao Liying wanted to jump in happiness. Finally, she could eat something other than tasteless salad. She kissed Jing Lihua and jumped into the couch in front of the television.
Jing Lihua took a quick shower. After dressing in a Gucci light blue silk blouse, white dress pants, and Harry Winston light sapphire diamond earrings, she was ready. She walked into the living room. Mo Liang and Zhao Liying were fighting over the remote.
”How do I look?” Jing Lihua twirled.
Both of them stopped the fighting. Their gaze was fixed on Jing Lihua.
”She is a changed woman.” Zhao Liying's gaze was full of admiration.
”I can't think of something smart to say. Wait a second. Let me think something.” Mo Liang continued to think but couldn't come up with anything. ”Fine. I give up. I'll just say it. You look gorgeous Xiao Hua.”
”Let's leave. I'm starving.” Zhao Liying couldn't wait for the food. Her van was already parked at the foot of the apartments.
On the way, Mo Liang and Zhao Liying continued their banter. Occasional sounds of laughs would fill the van. An outsider could tell the three people inside shared a very deep relationship.
Zhao Liying told Jing Lihua about her recent trip to Japan. She cursed her manager at the part when she described the famous restaurants they visited. The manager wouldn't let her eat. Mo Liang told her about the tale of a Japanese chick he had gone out with.
When Jing Lihua stepped out of the van, along with her two out-of-heavens friends, the trio immediately caught the spotlight.
An ex-star and topnotch fashion designer and an A-list model. But what attracted their sight the most was the elegantly dressed bewitching woman between them. Somehow, between those two extraordinary people, she was capable of attracting people's attention with her alluring looks. Her twinkling diamond earrings could be spotted from far. The woman had fine taste in fashion. Once they spotted her exceptional green eyes, they immediately recognized who she was and a look of disdain flashed across her.
”Isn't she the eldest daughter of Jing family? Didn't she marry Su Liwei just a few days ago? What is she doing here?”
”Shh, you didn't listen? The marriage was forced by using the Tang family influence. It was actually the second daughter of Jing family whom Su Liwei admired. Su Liwei must have chased her out.”
”Seems only right. Jing Tian is far better than her.”
”Humph! Such a disgusting woman. She should let go of a man who is unwilling to be with her.”
They heard the whispers. Mo Liang was not happy. He looked at Jing Lihua to see if she was affected by their words. ”Xiao Hua, do you want me to ask the manager to throw them out?” He was serious.
Jing Lihua laughed.
