C78

It was the first time I had attended a party like this, close to the upper classes. So, I tried my best to control my graceful and calm movements. After all, Yi Xudong had done this out of good will, so I couldn't bear to ruin his mood.

Indeed, most of the people who came today were well-known, and there were even a few people I had seen in the magazines and magazines I passed by. If Yi Xudong was not beside me, I would have been panicking.

I took a deep breath and smiled at him, telling him not to worry.

No wonder.

She stood arrogantly in the crowd, accepting everyone's compliments. Her exquisite makeup and her cold, arrogant demeanor made her look like a queen. Although I was wearing the same kind of clothes as her, it was still rather humble in comparison.

At this moment, those with sharp eyes saw that I was wearing the same clothes as her and started to discuss softly. It was as if Jin Yuan’er was seeing me for the first time. She looked at me weirdly, and her gaze immediately became filled with contempt.

He was like an ant jumping around in front of a high king.

"Miss Jin Yuan’er's outfit is worth more than a million, how can this woman afford it, or wear it?" A woman was covering her mouth as she was discussing with someone beside her. However, the volume of her voice wasn't low at all as it directly crashed into my ears.

"What a joke, don't tell me you didn't recognize this woman?" The other person pretended to be mysterious, but he didn't suppress his desire to gossip. "This is the woman who is the talk of the internet!"

"No wonder!" For someone like you who can earn money with a stretch of your legs, naturally … "

At this time, Jin Yuan’er seemed to have finally noticed me. With a gentle smile on her lips, she said: "Some things shouldn't be exposed, it's always better to leave some face for others. After all, it's not easy to get into this circle."

Such pointed words made me the target of public criticism. Even if the people present didn't know about my situation, they would have already understood the gist of it by talking animatedly about it. Now that Jin Yuan’er had divided me into the same circle as them, I naturally would not do so. There were even a few people who immediately shouted for me to scram.

I did not expect that the online matter clearly solved, in reality will bring me such humiliation.

"Enough!"

The corner of Yi Xudong's mouth held a cold smile, the vodka in his hand was trembling slightly, and the anger in his eyes was obvious. The people kneeling and licking around Jin Yuan’er were naturally afraid of Yi Xudong. Seeing that he had gotten angry, they all shut their mouths tightly, not saying a word.

Jin Yuan’er was not afraid of him, but after considering the situation, she could only sneer, and turned to leave.

I stood by Yi Xudong's side, blaming myself in my heart, his actions just now must have offended Jin Yuan’er, although I do not know what past Yi Xudong had, but Jin Yuan’er is after all, Jin Zicheng's fiancee, so Yi Xudong's actions might have directly slapped Jin Zicheng's face.

"It's okay, don't worry." Yi Xudong's anger had yet to be dissipated and his tone was still somewhat cold, but he still did not forget to console me.

"I've really caused you trouble."

Clutching the hem of my dress, I felt it was a little hot on my body. If I hadn't had such a history, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been humiliated like this today. Although there aren't any comments about me on the internet right now, there are always people in the real world who wouldn't let go of the past.

"Taste the snacks here."

Yi Xudong led me to the dining table and served me an egg tart on a small plate as he smiled at me. The love and warmth in my eyes moved me. The women around me were still paying attention to my every move, but I wasn't as nervous as before.

Yi Xudong spent so much effort, and did not hesitate to pay with his reputation, just so that others would not look down on me.

"Yi Xudong, what is your relationship with this woman?"

Jin Yuan’er walked over from the side, and this time, she was surrounded by no one else. Naturally, she calmly sat beside Yi Xudong, curled the corners of her lips, and joked: "Could it be that you secretly have feelings for such a woman? You actually have such a strong taste? "

Yi Xudong put down the wine cup in his hand, and his eyes flashed with a dark and cold light. He asked back, "When did Jin Zicheng's taste become crafty?

Both of us tried to hide our words, each one trying to embarrass the other. I sat on one side, holding a glass of red wine, trying to open my mouth to find that I couldn't get a word in.

Only after Jin Yuan’er gave me a meaningful glance before she turned around and left did I finally heave a sigh of relief. There's always a cannon fodder for two people, like me.

"There will be one coming soon."

Yi Xudong took a sip of the fragrant red wine in his cup and took out a piece of lemon from the plate beside him.

"Jin Zicheng?"

I uneasily put down the cup in my hands. Now that I mentioned the name Jin Zicheng, besides the fear from before, I felt even more inferior. Compared to Yi Xudong, he was filled with the cunning coldness of a merchant.

For example, if I was able to be used by him, I didn't doubt that he could sell me out for a project. But Yi Xudong might not be able to.

"You seem to be afraid of him." Yi Xudong picked up the wine cup on the table and chuckled.

Aren't you afraid of him?

The most terrifying memories of the period of Yin Zun's life were all given to me by this crown prince. Recalling that period of time when Jin Zicheng and the methods he used to attack me, I still felt extremely pained in my heart.

Seeing my silence, Yi Xudong said, "Sorry, I reminded you of something unpleasant."

After that, he continued to speak, "Qing He, if you want to become strong, you first have to face people or things that you don't want to face."

How could I not know? But to Jin Zicheng, how could my courage burst out so quickly?
