Ye Linlang quickly got in the car.
Today, Mo Ling was wearing a black handmade suit and a white shirt, which made him look very attractive. Under his trousers, his well-defined ankle was exposed, which added a little sexiness to him.
After Ye Linlang fastened her seatbelt, Mo Ling indicated for Lin Zhi to drive. Then, he took out a document and began to read it.
As expected of the president, he wouldn't waste any of his time. Ye Linlang admired him very much.
Soon, they arrived at the hotel where the birthday party was held.
The car stopped at the entrance of the hotel. As soon as it stopped, a waiter came to open the door to welcome them.
Mo Ling was the first to get out of the car. However, as soon as he stretched out his leg, there was a burst of suppressed exclamation around him.
"Oh my god! Mo Ling is really here!"
"His legs are really long! I like them so much!"
"Stop dreaming. He is a famous monk. Until now, no woman has been able to get close to him."
The sounds of discussion could be heard one after another. However, Mo Ling ignored them and entered through the main door.
However, Ye Linlang, who followed closely behind, was not so lucky.
As soon as she got out of the car, she felt countless hateful eyes around her.
"Who is this woman? How did she get out of the car with few passengers?"
"And he's so ugly!"
"If I didn't pay enough money, I would throw up if I sat next to her."
When Mo Ling got out of the car, they only dared to whisper. However, Ye Linlang was just an ugly woman who she did not know. These socialites were not afraid of her. Their voices were so loud that Ye Linlang could hear them clearly.
It was so noisy.
Ye Linlang cast a cold glance at her.
As soon as the leading socialites saw Ye Linlang's eyes, they instinctively stepped back.
Her cold eyes made people feel fearful all of a sudden.
How could this be?
How could an ugly woman have such a frightening look in her eyes?
After a while, Ye Linlang withdrew her gaze and walked into the hotel with her head held high.
Walking into the banquet hall, Mrs. Mo, her daughter, and Zhong Rou'er were already inside.
They were standing together with several other rich young ladies, holding glasses of champagne and talking and laughing.
Mo Jin Jun first saw Ye Linlang. However, she immediately turned her head away and pretended not to have seen her.
However, Zhong Rou'er took the initiative to raise her hand and greet her. "Linlang, we're here. Come here quickly."
The others followed the voice and looked over.
Ye Linlang paused for a second before walking over.
Mdm Mo had no choice but to introduce her. "This is Miss Ye. She's from the depths of the mountain and is currently living in our house."
The noble madams all revealed looks of contempt without any scruples.
No wonder she looked so ugly. It turned out that she came from the mountains. She didn't know why she had the courage to appear on such an occasion.
Seeing the noble ladies' reactions, Zhong Rou'er happily took a sip of champagne.
However, Ye Linlang didn't care about these people's gazes. She nodded slightly as a greeting.
The noble madams were even angrier.
How dare a country bumpkin be so perfunctory with them!
All of a sudden, one of the well-built noble ladies let out a cry of surprise. "Where did you buy this dress? Why haven't I seen this design before?"
Hearing this, the other noble ladies also began to look up and down.
He didn't pay attention to it before, but now when he looked at it carefully, he found that it was indeed a very beautiful dress. Whether it was designed with a slanted shoulder or with details, it was perfect.
"This is something Sister Rou'er made for her!" Mo Jin Jun was the first to speak. Her face was filled with pride. "It's very beautiful, isn't it? Sister Rou'er has chosen the most popular fashion elements in the world!"
Ye Linlang narrowed her eyes. It seemed that when she was making the skirt, Mo Jin Jun had not been involved at all. Otherwise, how could she not have noticed that the skirt had been modified?
Zhong Rou'er's expression changed.
When she drew the design of the skirt, she wanted to cover up her advantages and expose her shortcomings. She wanted to make Ye Linlang even uglier.
But now, many parts of Ye Linlang's skirt had been modified, making her look very decent.
Could it be that Ye Linlang had changed it herself?
How could this be?
Who changed it for her?
The round-faced lady looked at Zhong Rou'er with a look of appreciation. "Miss Zhong, did you really make it? It's so beautiful!"
A trace of guilt flashed across Zhong Rou'er's eyes, but she soon calmed down.
It was rare for her to be praised by these picky noble ladies, so she couldn't tell the truth.
"You flatter me." Zhong Rou'er smiled gently. "This dress is rushed, and there are many flaws in it."
Ye Linlang raised an eyebrow.
It was one thing if Mo Jin Jun didn't know. How could she not have noticed that the clothes that Zhong Rou'er had made were so obviously modified?
This man was quite thick-skinned. He didn't panic at all when he lied.
The round-faced lady laughed heartily. "Miss Zhong, you're too modest. If you can't even call it perfect, then who knows how beautiful it will be if it's truly perfect!"
Another noblewoman replied, "Isn't the Long family's Crown Prince preparing to participate in the designer contest? With Miss Zhong's level, she'll definitely win the prize if she goes!"
The other noble madams all agreed. "That's right."
A waiter passed by and Ye Linlang reached out for a cup of cocktail.
She walked up to Zhong Rou'er and handed her the cocktail. "Miss Zhong, it's really, really, good, hand, skill."
Although it was a compliment, the look in Ye Linlang's eyes, coupled with her tone, was frightening.
Zhong Rou'er's hand trembled when she picked up the cup. What if Ye Linlang exposed her on the spot?
She looked at Mrs. Mo for help.
Madam Mo understood and immediately said with a smile, "She is still young and has a lot of things to learn. Don't hold her too high."
Madam Mo turned to Ye Linlang. "Linlang, do you want to go with Jin Jun to have something to eat? I heard that Old Master Long has invited a top tier pastry chef. The pastries he makes are especially good."
Ye Linlang snorted. She was about to be sent away.
Mo Jin Jun received a hint from Mrs. Mo and hurried forward to urge Ye Linlang to eat together.
As soon as Ye Linlang lifted her foot, she seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Oh."
She turned around and walked over to Zhong Rou'er. Under her shocked and anxious gaze, she reached out to grab the cup of cocktail.
Mo Jin Jun looked disgusted. "There's still so much champagne over there. Why do you have to take back this cup?"
Ye Linlang's lips curled into a smile as she stared fixedly at Zhong Rou'er. "It's mine to begin with. When I want to take it back, I'll take it back."
Zhong Rou'er's face instantly turned pale.
She always felt that Ye Linlang was hinting at her!
She managed to remain calm. However, due to the presence of the noble ladies, she had no choice but to pull out a smile.
Mo Jin Jun did not know what was going on between the two of them. She just rolled her eyes at Ye Linlang.
"I'm bored."
Mo Jin Jun brought Ye Linlang to the counter.
After the mission was completed, Mo Jin Jun ran away without hesitation.
Ye Linlang was enjoying the peace and quiet.
Even though the birthday banquet was boring, just like what Mrs. Mo had said, the pastries were indeed good. They were almost as good as the cooks in her grandfather's manor.
Ye Linlang ate happily alone.
She was focused on eating when her shoulder was suddenly patted.
He turned around and saw Zhong Rou'er.
