CHAPTER 433: CHAPTER 247 DINNER_2

[Lin Man’s style is so inconsistent, last time it was mediocre, but this time it’s quite beautiful, giving off a human Barbie feel.]

[Shu Wan is still as stable as ever, so beautiful that it’s bursting at the seams, oh heavens, how can someone be this gorgeous.]

[How did their relationship get so good??? It’s a bit outrageous, aren’t Lin Man and Shu Wan archenemies? Why would Lin Man stand up for her at this critical moment?]

At this point in the banquet, Lin Man was leaning back in her chair, delighting in the praises for her new style, feeling incredibly pleased with herself.

Yet just when she was feeling happiest, someone had to come and spoil it.

"Lin Man, why are you sitting with Shu Wan? Didn’t you really dislike her before?"

Li Ya had worked with Lin Man on a film before, and they knew each other.

Hearing Li Ya’s voice, Lin Man looked up at her and instantly rolled her eyes, "I sit with whoever I please, what’s it to you?"

"Tsk." Li Ya glanced at Shu Wan, who was sitting calmly beside her, jealousy barely concealed as she eyed Shu Wan’s features, "You do as you like, but just a reminder, after tonight, some people might just be chased out of the entertainment circle, you better steer clear of such ill-fated people."

"In terms of bad luck, who could compete with you?"

Although Li Ya was insulting Shu Wan, it was Lin Man who got angrier.

"You!"

Li Ya did not expect Lin Man to be so ungrateful, staring bitterly at Shu Wan, "You really know how to recruit people, no wonder you managed to get your nouveau riche husband to secure so many resources for you."

Just thinking about Shu Wan’s officially announced Fuxian’s team of resources made Li Ya green with envy.

Tonight was not only about ruining Shu Wan’s reputation for her, but more importantly, she and the people behind her wanted to force out the man backing Shu Wan.

She wanted to see who had been supporting Shu Wan all along.

Not far away, music began to play, signaling that the banquet had started.

Lin Man put down her glass and deliberately linked arms with Shu Wan, "Let’s go, we don’t consort with flies."

"Who are you calling a fly?" Li Ya was furious.

"Whichever hat fits, wear it."

Lin Man said this and even pulled a face at Li Ya, infuriating her to no end.

She might have vented her anger, but as she turned a corner, a faint worry crossed Lin Man’s face.

She poked Shu Wan’s arm, "Hey, seriously, they’re up to no good."

"I know," Shu Wan smiled at Lin Man, "Don’t worry."

Even though both were women and Lin Man always saw herself as a great beauty too,

at this moment, she was stunned by Shu Wan’s smile.

Shu Wan was wearing a black fishtail gown today, and to match the dress, she had applied a colder makeup look, even her smile, different from Lin Man’s innocent yet somewhat silly grin.

Shu Wan’s smile was like a gust of wind over a glacier, carrying a hint of aloofness from on high, yet it also possessed a unique confidence.

"Oh," Lin Man averted her gaze, feeling her cheeks flush for no reason, "It’s not like I care about you, don’t overthink it."

Shu Wan said nothing, and just kept walking with Lin Man towards the banquet hall.

Inside the hall, a musical was being performed, but the moment Shu Wan appeared, everyone’s gaze naturally shifted to her.

"Everyone’s looking at you," Lin Man whispered to Shu Wan, "Let’s go sit down in our seats."

"You go ahead."

Shu Wan knew that if this banquet was a trap, there wouldn’t be a place for her.

She let Lin Man sit down first while she casually took a seat at the first table, in the empty position.

Seeing Shu Wan assume the most prestigious seat as if it were her rightful place, not just Lin Man but also Li Ya and her group were stunned.

The mockery in the eyes of the crowd deepened.

"What a character..."

)

While they were internally exclaiming, they kept a normal front, no one went to remind Shu Wan. It was Lin Man who stood up wanting to call out to her but was pulled back by someone beside her.

When she steadied herself and tried to warn Shu Wan, a group of people had already entered from the door.

Seeing the short middle-aged man leading the group, Lin Man’s expression changed.

She recognized him, the Second Young Master of Zeng Family who dominated the entire film industry. She knew Li Ya and her group wanted to completely erase Shu Wan from the scene, but she had not anticipated they would actually manage to invite this figure from the Zeng Family.
