Lin Chaoyu was a little puzzled. She was just a surrogate… Why would she attend the banquet with Tang Pengze? Moreover, she was a woman from a small town. Didn’t he find her embarrassing? Lin Chaoyu picked up her phone and sent a message to Tang Pengze to confirm.

[500,000 RMB, I’ll hire you to attend.] It was a simple and clear reply, but Lin Chaoyu liked it. A banquet in exchange for her mother’s monthly chemotherapy fee was not a loss for her.

“Alright, then I’ll have to trouble you. I still don’t know how I should address you?” Lin Chaoyu got off the bed and found some clothes to change into in the wardrobe. Tang Pengze could tell that Lin Chaoyu hated having her clothes torn when she woke up the next morning, so he directly bought two wardrobe of clothes for her. Lin Chaoyu randomly picked a white floral dress to wear in the changing room.

“My name is Li Yao. Miss Lin, you can just call me by my name.” Li Yao stared fixedly at the dress Lin Chaoyu had changed into. She shook her head silently. “Miss Lin, your taste is too ordinary and too normal. If you dress according to your taste, you will definitely embarrass President Tang at tonight’s banquet.” Li Yao sighed continuously, as if she looked down on Lin Chaoyu.

Lin Chaoyu also felt that if he took 500,000 yuan, it would be too stupid if he didn’t do a good job. However, was there a need to put it so bluntly? Lin Chaoyu lowered her head and sized herself up. Then, she looked at Li Yao and said meaningfully, “Then, Miss Li, do you have any suggestions? Didn’t you say just now that you wanted to help style me? I believe that as long as you try your best, I won’t embarrass Tang Pengze.”

Li Yao’s expression changed instantly. She had long heard that there was a woman living in President Tang’s mansion, and she was incomparably beautiful. Seeing her today, she did not think that this woman was very stunning, but her looks were indeed above average. She had the looks of a classical Asian beauty, and her aura was very elegant—which made her jealous!

Li Yao sneered and didn’t retort. Instead, she asked Lin Chaoyu to bring her to the dressing room. Even though Lin Chaoyu didn’t usually put on makeup, Tang Pengze still prepared a dressing room and a lot of cosmetics that she didn’t even know. Li Yao picked and tested the colors one by one before putting on makeup for Lin Chaoyu. After the exquisite makeup was applied, it made Lin Chaoyu even more attractive.

Next up was the selection of clothes. Li Yao opened the wardrobe and looked at the clothes inside. She said, “President Tang’s taste is indeed high-class. These clothes are all unique. I wonder if Miss Lin can look nice in them.”

“What do you mean? Just choose my clothes obediently. Why are you talking so much?” Lin Chaoyu sensed the hostility from her words and immediately retorted. Although her reaction was slow, she wasn’t stupid. Ever since this woman entered the room, she had been picking on her. She was saying that she wasn’t worthy of them. Lin Chaoyu didn’t know what she wanted to do.

“Miss Lin, I’m telling the truth. Your looks are average, and your fashion taste is terrible. I really don’t know how President Tang took a liking to you and even wanted to bring you to the banquet. As if it’s not embarrassing enough.” Li Yao spoke increasingly harshly. Lin Chaoyu’s face stiffened. She wanted to retort, but she couldn’t find any words to say, especially the latter half of her sentence. It made her recall Tang Pengze’s hint last night—she was just a surrogate mother. She only accepted the money and did things according to the contract. She couldn’t even see the child after that. She really wasn’t anyone important to Tang Pengze.

At this thought, Lin Chaoyu fell silent. At this moment, the door of the dressing room behind her opened from the outside with a bang. In the next second, Tang Pengze’s deep voice rang out, shocking Li Yao. “Does she need you to be a busybody?”

Li Yao did not expect Tang Pengze to come back at this time. Taking advantage of the fact that she could still say a few words in front of Tang Pengze, she immediately said, “President Tang, it’s not that I’m being nosy. It’s just that Miss Lin has too many requests. I don’t know what to do at all.”

Lin Chaoyu widened her eyes and asked, “Me? What request did I make? You, on the other hand, have been picking on me ever since you entered the room. Don’t you think you’re rude?”

“I called you here to serve her. Don’t you understand?” Tang Pengze looked at Li Yao coldly, as if he wanted to see through her..
