Meanwhile in the lounge.
Lin Che stood there and listened to the others introducing themselves. She saw Peng Yu walking towards her aggressively.
When Peng Yu saw Lin Che, her eyes were glaring widely like round bulbs as if they were about to blow up at Lin Che.
Turning around, her expression changed completely. Facing the people in front of her, she smiled and awkwardly spoke English, "Hello everyone. I am Peng Yu and this outfit is really beautiful and suits me very well. Thank you for your invitation and for gifting me with this outfit."
The few people turned around and looked at Peng Yu. A tall, blonde man said, "Oh yes, hello. The outfit indeed suits you very well."
Peng Yu laughed and looked at Lin Che. Then, she quickly continued to give a lot of praise to the outfit.
She had learned basic English while she was at Hollywood and she was finally able to use them. She thought to herself, She was better than Lin Che in that aspect. She remembered the Hollywood director once said that Lin Che had the help of a translator when she was at Hollywood because her English was terrible.
At least Peng Yu could hold basic daily conversations although her grammar and accent were not that good.
She continued to ramble on in English to some of them. They listened and found that what she said was amusing. They looked at her and said, "Thank you for your compliments. Let's do better together, let's do better together."
Then, Peng Yu turned around and looked at Lin Che smugly. Lin Che seemed to be at a loss and was unable to voice her opinions. Peng Yu continued in English, "All of you may not know about this, but this Miss Lin over here did not have a good reputation. When she was filming in Hollywood, she pulled out in the midst of filming and I heard she ran off with a wealthy man. The director had no choice but to get me in to replace her role. I'm not too sure about what happened between them, but she had come back to C Country again, seriously..."
Her audience appeared shocked and she continued with a look of sympathy, "I'm not trying to criticize her, but if all of you want to get to know her better, I feel that you should also know a little about her background. Oh, and her English is not that good, that's the truth. I'm not sure how she communicates with you all."
"Oh? Really? She spoke English very well just now."
"What?" Peng Yu exclaimed in astonishment.
Lin Che laughed and pursed her lips. She looked at Peng Yu good-naturedly. She tilted her head as if she was watching a clown performing stunts.
"Miss Peng Yu, don't you think that if you want to bad-mouth about someone, you should do it behind their backs?" Lin Che spoke in very fluent American English. Her accent was very Americanized but her choice of words was closer to British English and it made her look very gracious and of a higher status.
"You... You..." Lin Che looked at Lin Che and gasped in shock.
Lin Che shot her a glance and turned around to speak to the men, "I apologize to have made a fool of myself. In fact, she was not wrong. I pulled out of the film due to family reasons. I had to give up one of them and given a choice, family matters most in my heart. Thus, even if I had to pay a price, it will not change my decision. I like your brand very much and therefore, I agreed to come to the wine reception today. This is my first event since I returned. I guess everyone got very shocked to see me. 'Why did this swindler return again?' they must have thought and thus, everyone swarmed forward, haha."
Lin Che had been living overseas for a few years and knew their personalities very well. While discussing work, they would prefer to adopt an easygoing attitude. Besides, the men were accepting of the females being family-oriented.
She could tell that the few people were amused by how she had ridiculed herself earlier on and told her, "Family is indeed more important. Everyone can make their own decisions and you chose family. That's not wrong. Besides, you have also paid a price for it, isn't it?"
"You're right. It's just that people would take you as a swindler when you return, but it's unlike other people who are seen as fools." She was referring to the person beside her.
Peng Yu had become a joke. She had criticized Lin Che right in front of her and still thought that she could not understand.
At that moment, Peng Yu knew that she could not revert the situation anymore, especially when Lin Che intentionally used more profound words and grammar and spoke very long sentences. She could not understand what Lin Che was saying but her dignity had been smashed onto the ground harshly and it hurt her so badly.
The officials of the high management said, "Miss Peng, we will be continuing our conversation for a while longer. Feel free to stay or leave.
Those few people were very interested in Lin Che's story and wanted to chat longer with her.
Peng Yu stood there and it was clear that she had been neglected. No matter how thick-skinned she was, she could no longer stay there any longer and thus, she left the room...

Meanwhile.
Mu Feiran left Lin Che's house and got someone to watch over Yunyun. She left by herself and put Yunyun at Lin Che's place because that was also Gu Jingze's place and it would be very safe so she was not worried at all.
At night, she called Wei Jingjing to ask where she was.
Wei Jingjing said gleefully over the phone, "That's right, Feiran. Come, I will wait for you. Let's cooperate together and remain as good friends."
Mu Feiran sneered, "We'll talk about this when we meet."
It was sparkling everywhere. Servers were walking around the area where the private rooms were and they seemed very busy.
This was one of the places in B City with bustling nightlife and it was also the most popular area where all entertainment services could be found.
Mu Feiran walked in and the moment she reached the entrance, she told Wei Jingjing to come down.
Although Wei Jingjing was unhappy that she had to come down personally to pick up Mu Feiran, she relented as she thought that Mu Feiran was here to make money for her.
When Wei Jingjing saw Mu Feiran, she could not help but be very jealous of her. Wei Jingjing thought that Mu Feiran did not have very beautiful looks but because she was a popular celebrity, people were willing to spend a lot of money to get her over to eat with them.
"Sister Feiran, you came. I'm here to pick you."
Wei Jingjing went over to grab her arm happily but Mu Feiran brushed it off immediately.
She looked at Wei Jingjing."I'm here to pass you some things."
Wei Jingjing paused for a moment."What do you mean?" Her voice turned indifferent towards the end.
Mu Feiran turned to her phone and searched for the photos of Wei Jingjing and Mo Ding.
Wei Jingjing knew that these were some photos she took with Mo Ding in the beginning. They were just ordinary photos of them together and they were most probably taken from Mo Ding's phone.
She laughed aloud."Mu Feiran, are you being too naive? What do you think you can do with these? We only took photos together. Even if you disclose these photos, Mo Ding would say that you are the one who betrayed him first."
Mu Feiran sneered, "This is just the beginning. Have a good look."
The next photo was still a shot of them together but they were much more intimate.
Wei Jingjing did not feel good but she grimaced and looked unwilling to continue looking at those photos.
The next photo...
It was Wei Jingjing's nudes and she looked very provocative. It was clear that someone was taking the pictures for her and she posed for them.
