Three chapters today.

At the same time, Lu Lian had to attend the event with Ming Rusheng which was arranged by Wu Suyin's company. Lu Lian got ready in an elegant peach color dress and left to go to the venue even though she didn't want to. 

Ming Rusheng and Lu Lian reached the venue at the same time where Ming Rusheng's assistant was with him. They entered the event hall together where so many known people in the business circle were present. 

Wu Suiyin, who was dressed beautifully, came to them to welcome them personally. The pleasant smile she had on her lips never left as one could say she was a living angel. 

"Brother Rusheng! Ms. Lu, welcome. Good to see you are here."

Rusheng accepted her greetings with a light nod while Lu Lian didn't pay attention. Wu Suyin didn't mind her and led their way inside while walking by cold man Ming Rusheng's side, who was the center of attraction. 

Suddenly the gossip started as everyone saw Wu Suying walking along with Ming Rusheng while Lu Lian was with Ming Rusheng's assistant, following them behind.

While walking, Wu Suyin talked to Ming Rusheng in a low voice that only he could hear, "Brother Rusheng, seems like you will be a part of everyone's gossip thanks to me."

"I don't pay attention to idiots," Ming Rusheng replied. 

"Really, let's see," Wu Suying said as she wrapped her hands around his arm and walked inside. 

Lu Lian who was walking behind them stared at it while Ming Rusheng's assistant could feel the coldness around the woman walking beside him. "Ms. Lu, boss knows Ms. Wu for so long and considers her as a sister...."

Lu Lian glared at him, "Why are you explaining it to me?"

The poor assistant swallowed his words as she knew his future lady boss was sometimes more terrifying than his boss.

Soon as expected the gossip started as everyone stared at Wu Suyin and Ming Rusheng which didn't affect either of them. 

"As expected. We all know she is a manizer and now managed to seduce a new man."

"I didn't know Mr. Ming could be seduced so easily."

"It's not his fault. She can seduce everyone. If not for the daughter of the Wu family, no one would have even looked at her."

It continued as everyone found new things to talk about as entertainment. 

Wu Suyin and Ming Rusheng had to go to the stage with a few other representatives from the other companies which were part of this joint venture. Everyone paid attention to it but their attention was focused on Ming Rusheng and Wu Suying who were standing side by side. 

While surrounded by others, Lu Lian and Ming Rusheng's assistant could hear what others were talking. Once the announcement and everything about the project were being explained, there was a loud clapping sound across the hall and once again everyone got busy with the talk.

Lu Lian was known to everyone and being a daughter of the Lu family everyone paid attention to her though she was not easy to approach. Lu Lian could sense the headache coming her way and just nodded to the group of her old friends in the name. 

"Lu Lian, good to see you after so long." 

"After high school, we didn't see you around."

"I was busy studying," Lu Lian replied.

Just like Wu Suyin, Lu Lian had others from business families who were of her age and used to know her when they were young.

"We heard you work in Ming Industries.

"Hmm," Lu Lian nodded again. 

"You are a daughter of the Lu Family. Why do you need to work there? Your father can build a company for you."

"Yeah, why do you even work there? Is it like what we heard that you like Ming Rusheng?"

Lu Lian maintained her calm and just smiled lightly as she sipped on her drink. 

"Are we right?"

"Whatever suits you," Lu Lian replied as if they were nobody to her. 

"Hey, Lu Lian. We are your friends and we are just worried for you."

Lu Lian smirked, "Shouldn't you be worried about yourself. I just saw your boyfriend lurking around some other woman." and she looked in one direction where one man of her age was talking to one woman and it totally looked like they were flirting. 

The woman left to go to her boyfriend while Lu Lian enjoyed her drink.

Others preferred to not comment on Lu Lian's personal matter so they moved to talk about Wu Suying. 

"Seems like that manizer Wu Suyin's new target is Mr. Ming now."

"Lu Lian, you should keep brother Ming away from her."

"Why would I?" Lu Lian countered. 

It surprised others and one of them asked, "Aren't you worried she will seduce him and…"

"So?" Lu Lian acted nonchalantly.

"Lu Lian, don't you know she is a famous manizer. She changes men every day like her clothes. She's such a slut."

Lu Lian chuckled at what her so-called friend said. 

Wu Suyin was one of the successful heiresses of the business family and everyone admired her for that but there were always rumors following her that tarnished her image but she never minded it. She was one confident woman who knew what she was doing and regretted nothing while looking down on others who criticized her behind her back and she never failed to show them their place.

"She is such a shame for all of us. Because of her, everyone thinks that all the daughters from business families are like her," another one said. 

The next one agreed with her, "I don't wish others to think we are like her."

Their male friends who accompanied them said the consoling words, "Don't worry, we know how you girls are. We know you are not like her."

As those girls felt relieved, Lu Lian who calmly observed, couldn't stop but chuckle and roll her eyes. 

"What happened, Lu Lian. You don't believe what we said about Wu Suyin. Do you think we are like her?"

Lu Lian looked at her as she stopped smiling. She sighed and said, "Even if you try, you can't be like her."
