Chapter 97

Tan Jingmo seemed to notice that she was feeling down. He also thought that this method of celebration didn’t seem right because he didn’t intend for it to go this way, but the unforeseen circumstances had disrupted his initial plan. He didn’t want to leave Bao Er alone on this festive day, so he took Bao Er here.

“Don’t worry, it won’t be long, I’ll try to be fast. You just follow me obediently, don’t run around and don’t need to care about these people!” His hand tightened.

Bao Er nodded, then both of them walked inside.

When they appeared, they started to attract a lot of attention. Tan Jingmo was a low-profile person, but not to that stage where nobody recognized him. Instead, all the famous people in T city were very curious about him. How did such a young person turn VK into such a major corporation?

“President Tan, it’s rare to see you at a c*cktail party like this! Looks like Sheng Xing is really attractive, otherwise, President Tan wouldn’t prioritize this so much that you even attend it personally!”

A fat man clad in black suit walked beside Tan Jingmo and greeted him.

“President Zhang, it’s not too big of a deal. It was just that I was busier in the past and I couldn’t find time, or else I’d be happy to attend.” Tan Jingmo said with a smile without any hint of anxiety.

He’d been in this world of business for almost ten years. If he couldn’t even handle such a small occasion, he wouldn’t deserve the title of ‘smiling tiger’¹TN: A cunning person who always shows a friendly facade.

Taking these into mind, Bao Er nodded. “Then come and find me after you finish your work. I only know you here.”

Useless, she was nothing without Tan Jingmo, until she even needed to worry about a small c*cktail party. Bao Er silently looked down at herself in her heart.

“Yeah, go quickly!” Tan Jingmo thought that it wasn’t that appropriate after he said that, so he led her there directly, looking for a more secluded corner for her before he left.

If Bao Er followed him, it wasn’t that convenient for him to talk about business. Besides, even such a dense person like Bao Er could feel the unkind intentions of some people, so how could he not feel it?

Tan Jingmo walked with an expressionless face. He could still remember very vividly those few faces that dared to eye his woman, they should be prepared to handle the consequences.

“Aiyaya, President Tan, about the partnership of our two corporations…” Noticing Tan Jingmo who was walking over, someone quickly went up to talk to him.

The curl on Tan Jingmo’s lips went back to before and his face turned into a serious look. “Our partnership is surely not a big problem…”

Bao Er sat at the corner alone, her mouth leisurely chewing on small desserts.

The women around there saw her and quickly went up to start a small talk with her.

“Miss, I think I haven’t seen you before? Are you a young lady who just came back from overseas? Otherwise why did you look so unfamiliar!” Someone impatiently began to roast Bao Er.

What a joke, who was Tan Jingmo? The big boss of T city’s jewelry world, VK’s CEO who had countless riches. With such identity, he was a partner that they were eager to find. He was basically a glimmering gold, whoever got the chance to become the wife of VK’s CEO must be remarkable!

The other upsetting thing was that Tan Jingmo’s face was as attractive as his assets. Gosh, any normal woman would want a person like him, right?

Tan Jingmo, their imaginary prince charming who had never shown his face before, actually attended this c*cktail party today. But he attended this with Bao Er, and showed her so much care and consideration.

“Or are you the daughter of some parvenu, otherwise why did I never see you before?” A woman played with her beautiful fingernails while asking Bao Er casually. She didn’t think that there was anything wrong with this question.

The ladies in this scene were mostly the petite princesses of the rich upper class families. They enjoyed wealth that ordinary people couldn’t imagine since young, so they didn’t have many reservations when talking. Naturally they didn’t think that these words were hurtful.

In their eyes, Tan Jingmo should fall for someone who could match his status, or else wouldn’t it just be disgracing?

“Eh, isn’t this the newest edition from Chanel? And also this bag is LV’s limited edition, right? I can’t even get to buy it when I want to, I’ve been thinking about it for quite a long time!” Someone shouted as she looked at Bao Er’s clothes and bag.

“You’ve become wealthy to this extent? Looks like you’re about to rival our assets, or else who dares to wear Chanel and LV so casually like that? Sigh, but since you’re a parvenu, you better mind your own image, since all the real high-class people are around here. With a parvenu appearing from nowhere here like this, you’d make everyone lose face!”

The person who claimed that Bao Er was a parvenu before continued to insult Bao Er.

“Yeah right, I’ve never heard of any young lady coming back from studying overseas. Even if they go overseas to study, they will still join this type of gathering each time they come back. They don’t join a lot of times but at least we have the impression. As for this lady who appeared from nowhere, I’ve never seen you before!”

Yet another person continued the other person’s sentence and laughed scornfully without hesitation. When everyone heard this, they covered their mouths to laugh.

Bao Er raised her head and looked at these giggling young ladies, feeling speechless.

She didn’t know them, okay! She also didn’t have the habit of making casual small talk with strangers, okay! She didn’t even have the interest to familiarize with them, okay!

So she lowered her head to continue with her stuff. Therefore, she indirectly forgot all about them.

When the group of people saw that, they felt mad in their hearts. She was just a small parvenu, yet she didn’t even bother to acknowledge them, it seemed like she didn’t want to live anymore.

“Hey, what do you mean by this? We’re asking you questions, no wonder you’re a parvenu, you are rude without decent manners. This must have something to do with how your family teaches you, right? I really don’t know how your parents teach you!”

They didn’t get any response from Bao Er, which made them look like a gang of clowns instead. They then unleashed the anger in their hearts directly.
