Chapter 1122: City People Really Know How to Play
Hearing Gu Zeyan’s words, Xia Yao smirked coldly.
“Speaking of which, I think the reason why CEO Shen invited us today is firstly to deal a blow to you and secondly, to disgust me. After all, I don’t have my father’s support now and the situation isn’t as good as before. Pei Yaochi, who you’ve dumped, has become an artiste of Stars International!”
“If I’m not wrong, CEO Shen might still support her in the future!”
The two of them walked to the waiting hall. There were a few people waiting for the elevator. When they saw the two of them, their gazes turned strange with obvious disdain and disdain.
“Isn’t this our ‘vase’ sister? Why? Are you invited too?”
The woman who spoke at the start had exquisite makeup and was wearing a tight-fitting purple mermaid gown. Her figure was graceful and she looked similar to Xia Yao.
Xia Yao had stolen many roles in the industry. It was impossible for them not to have any feelings for her. Now that Xia Yao had suffered, many people were happy.
After being in the industry for so long, no matter how stupid Xia Yao was, she knew the principle of being bullied by dogs.
But knowing and having a temper were two different things.
“None of your business.”
The other party chuckled and glanced at Gu Zeyan.
“Sister Hua Ping has a good life. Previously, she had her father to support her. Even though she has declined, she still has Young Master Gu to dote on her. It’s just that Young Master Gu’s luck is a little bad. He dumped a good-for-nothing Pei Yaochi. I thought that he would marry a fair, rich, and beautiful woman and improve his career. In the end, he’s also a good-for-nothing…”
“Hey, Nana, you’re wrong. I heard that Sister Hua Ping has invested in Young Master Gu’s new drama! How is she useless?”
“Oh, that’s true. Thinking about it, Young Master Gu gained from dumping Pei Yaochi.”
The few of them chatted and laughed, but they weren’t polite to Gu Zeyan and Xia Yao.
Gu Zeyan’s face darkened. He knew that he would be criticized for suddenly choosing to be with Xia Yao, but now that he had heard himself being called a young master of the Gu family who relied on women to achieve his goals, he felt uncomfortable.
When the elevator came down, the few of them entered and went straight to the top floor. The people in the huge and luxurious elevator did not speak again.
When they reached the top floor, they walked into the banquet hall.
There was a dazzling crystal chandelier with two layers of carvings covering the floor. In the middle was a huge indoor pool.
The decorations were exquisite and luxurious. Especially when the lights shone on them, it was an unparalleled luxurious beauty. It raised the aura of everyone who arrived by a lot.
Some people were even checking their gowns, afraid that they would be incompatible with this luxurious place.
“Wow!”
“OMG, this is too exaggerated!”
“How gorgeous. Stars International is really handsome! They actually chose such a luxurious place for a celebration party.”
“This is too shocking! This place is amazing! I want to jump ship to Stars International.”
The few of them were obviously impressed by the luxury of this place. While they were exclaiming in admiration, a mocking sneer sounded behind them.
“A bunch of village girls.”
The few of them turned around and saw Xia Yao, who was holding Gu Zeyan’s arm, looking at them with disdain. Their expressions were ugly, and the woman who had spoken to Xia Yao downstairs snorted and said,
“That’s right, we’ve never seen the world! Unlike you, Sister Hua Ping, Father has to choose this seven-star hotel even if he wants to get a room with a mistress! I can’t imagine what kind of mentality and experience someone has to play with his wife’s niece! It can’t be helped, we village girls really can’t imagine what tricks you city people have! You really know how to play!”
“Pfft…”
A few people at the side suddenly chuckled. “You city people really know how to have fun.”
Xia Yao didn’t expect them to suddenly mention this. Her mocking face darkened and her expression turned ugly.
“I’ll tear your mouths apart!”
“Your mouth is cheap, yet you don’t allow others to speak the truth?” The woman from before immediately retorted.
Her face turned pale from anger, but Gu Zeyan rubbed her shoulder.
“Alright, don’t be angry. It’s not worth it to argue with them. Be careful of the child in your stomach.”
Only then did Xia Yao remember the child in her stomach. She took two deep breaths and gradually calmed down.
Then, he sneered at the women again.
“Even if you want to jump ship, you have to see if Stars International will accept you. Do you think Stars International is a trash shelter? Do you think they want trash?!”
With that said, she looked at the few people whose faces had turned ugly and smiled in satisfaction. Her gaze swept across the luxurious venue and she said,
“She’s just renting someone else’s venue and she’s already idolizing him? If she really wants to idolize someone, it’s the Pei Consortium who owns the entire hotel!”
At this point, Xia Yao’s gaze landed on the golden window at the side of the corridor. She could see some lights from afar, which was enough to prove how high the Pei family’s hotel was. In the entire Ping Cheng City, it was one of the few outstanding ones.
“It’s already shocking enough to own such a seven-star hotel, let alone a seven-star hotel under the Pei Corporation…”
In the end, Xia Yao didn’t know if she was talking to the people in front of her or herself.
Gu Zeyan surveyed his surroundings and his eyes flickered.
Xia Yao was right. If there was anyone to envy and admire, it should be the huge Pei Corporation.
The hotel in front of her was enough to prove how rich the Pei family was.
“Zeyan, let’s go in.” Xia Yao, who had snapped back to her senses, didn’t want to argue with the women in front of her. Just as she said that she wanted to enter the venue with Gu Zeyan, the door of another elevator beside them opened slowly and everyone walked out.
She was wearing a gray-blue gown that reached her knees. The silk was slightly raised and her shoulders were half-exposed. The design was simple, but it perfectly outlined her graceful figure. She had a natural laziness and calmness, but there was no trace of decadence. Her every move was natural without any decorations. From her bones, there was a delicate feeling that belonged to a woman who had been spoiled.
Ye Qingqiu was the first to come out. Their gazes were inevitably attracted by her. Their gazes did not linger on anyone as they turned to look at the elevator.
Someone pushed a wheelchair slowly out of the elevator.
Sitting in the wheelchair was Pei Yaochi, who had just been dumped.
