Chapter 182
Fade Chen was walking right behind them. Although there were separated by some distance in
between, he could still hear their conversation loud and clear.

It was nothing more than to encourage Momo Soo to seize the opportunity of meeting with the rich
and powerful of Hanover City and leave them with asting impression of herself. At the same time,
Chessca Tan repeatedly insinuated the good chemistry between their families, hinting that there
could be a possible joint venture underway once an opportunity arose.
Momo Soo was never a fan of these events, but after a brief consultation with Fade Chen that this
was a societal norm, she went with it anyways.
They made their way into the venue after chatting for a while. Chessca Tan started introducing
Momo Soo as a member of the Soo Family in South Bay City to the various millionaires of Hanover
City. Moreover, with Momo Soo''s sweet and lovely appearance, she quickly became the center of
attention, with a lot of people buttering themselves up to her.
Chessca Tan was able to find some time in between and she walked towards the other two, her
face nketed by dark clouds as she looked at Fade Chen and Yuri Zhang who were eating. She
growled at them and spoke in a low tone, "Come with me."
Both Fade Chen and Yuri Zhang were feeling a little displeased, but they followed her to the corner
of the room anyways.
Without Momo Soo with them, Chessca Tan got rid of her sweet disguise as she looked at them
with a straight face and said, "I''ll just tell you the truth. Attendees of this g are the rich and
powerful of Hanover City. Their worth is at least in the ten millions. If it weren''t for the fact that
Momo had insisted, I would''ve never let people like youe to a ce like this."
"People like us!" Fade Chen''s eyes narrowed, his expression darkening.
Chessca Tan peeked at him indifferently and she added, "That wasn''t an insult, this is how society
works. If you don''t belong to one of the higher ups, the gap would only get wider from here."
"Be mindful of your actions and be careful of what you say tonight. Don''t cause any trouble,
because you won''t be able to afford the consequences." Chessca Tan said, her voice mixed in with
a hint of warning. "Also, be mindful of your image when you''re eating to not expose yourselves as
bumpkins. You''re embarrassing me."
"Senior, we..." Even the well- tempered Yuri Zhang was starting to get a little pissed off.
However, Chessca Tan''s condescending attitude didn''t stop there as she said, "Don''t call me your
senior. Know your ce. Hide in a corner at best, don''t show up and humiliate yourselves."
Chessca Tan stole a nce behind her when she heard footsteps and saw that it was Momo Soo
walking in her direction, so she said hastily, "Sure, it''s also an opportunity for people like you to be
able to attend a g like this. Have yourselves a little selfconsciousness and seize the opportunity.
Maybe that rich youngdy over there''s in a good mood and she''ll sponsor you thousands of yuan.
It''ll be enough for your spending in the next couple of years."
"No, we..." Yuri Zhang chimed in.
But before she could finish, a smile crept its way onto Chessca Tan''s face as she turned around to
come face to face with Momo Soo. Still beaming brightly, she asked, "Momo, how is it going? Those
are the young and talented men of Hanover City. I can help you set up a meeting if you''re interested
in any of them."
Momo Soo smiled politely and said, "I''ll pass. Also, senior, they seem to be talking about you, so
why don''t you join them back there?"
"They''re talking about me!" Chessca Tan''s face lit up with astonishment as she smoothed the
creases on her dress and made her way back to the group of people.
Momo Soo stuck her tongue out at Chessca Tan behind her back, then smiled at Yuri Zhang and
Fade Chen as she said, "I can finally breathe. They''re just a group of people smiling fakely and
talking endlessly about stocks, corporations, funds, capital markets and what not. It''s so boring."
"By the way, senior didn''t do anything to you guys, right?" Momo Soo couldn''t help but ask when
she noticed the defeated expression on Yuri Zhang''s face.
Yuri Zhang didn''t want to put Momo Soo through the trouble, so she just smiled and said, "It''s fine.
Brother Chen and I were just eating, everything''s just fine."
"Good then!" Momo Soo nodded and came closer as she took a slice of apple from the te that
Fade Chen was holding. She stuffed it into her mouth and started chewing noisily. "These people, I
can''t seem to figure them out. They said it was a dinner, but there''s nothing to eat at all. I can''t
believe I skipped dinner for this! To stand there just talking to them for so long has made me both
mentally and physically exhausted."
Fade Chen and Yuri Zhang''s moods changed for the better uponnding their gaze on Momo Soo
who was chewing up the fruits with one hand covering her mouth. Instantly, Chessca Tan''s words
flew out of their minds as theyughed out loud together.
The three of them continued eating and chatting on one side, while the conversation in Chessca
Tan''s group gradually heated up. Among them, a tall and handsome man wearing a suit seemed to
be leading the conversation, with several other young men and women surrounding him as they
chatted away enthusiastically.
The same couldn''t be said for Chessca Tan though, she could barely get herself involved in the
conversation with that ingratiating look on her face. Evidently, she was not as high-up as she
thought she was.
The few of them seemed to havee across an interesting topic, with their voices getting louder
by the second.
Among them, a woman in a red dress said, "Have you guys heard that Master Guo got beaten up?"
"I did. I heard it''s quite serious too. What happened? I would never have expected that someone''s
daring enough tond a finger on Master Guo in our Hanover City." A man answered.
The woman dressed in red rolled her eyes and said, "I have some details."
"What sort of details? Tell us!" The others were beginning to get intrigued and the crowd became
increasingly eager.
The woman in red answered mysteriously, "So this was how it went. Master Guo went on a trip at
the hot springs, and he met a rookie actress from Bay City who was filming for an advertisement.
She must''ve been a pretty one, because Master Guo took a liking in her."
"So, Master Guo asked the actress to dinner, and hinted some things along the way. You guys
should know what they are."
Everyone nodded in response. It was evident that they had already gotten used to such unspoken
rules in society.
The woman in red continued, "You guys would never have guessed the ending. Not only did the
actress refuse Master Guo, she also asked her boyfriend to go with her, which ended up with him
beating the hell out of Master Guo." "No way, how dare they beat up Master Guo. Do they have a
death wish?" Someone eximed.
The woman in red said, "He wasn''t just beat up for fun, he was seriously beat up. I also heard that
Master Guo was forced on his knees to apologize."
"What? They made Master Guo apologize on his knees? How did that happen?" People were
shaking their heads in disbelief.
"Don''t they know that Master Guo''s father, Dominic Guo is the hotshot of the entertainment industry
in Hanover City? Have they lost their minds? Not only did they lose the opportunity, they even had
his son beat up?"
"She was probably not local and unaware of Master Guo''s reputation. This whole thing was just a
huge misunderstanding."
"Hmph, it could be a misunderstanding. Just you wait until Master Guo wraps his head around it.
The actress can forget about making it big entirely, she''s just waiting to be banned from the
industry."
"The actress is aplete fool, if you ask me. It''s pure luck to have yourself fancied by Master Guo
as a rookie. Who''d knew that she didn''t have good taste. This is simply, tsk, tsk..."
"True, speaking of unspoken rules, we have so many female celebrities in Hanover City waiting in
line to get close to Master Guo. Yet, none of them even stood a chance."
"If you ask me, her innocence is just an act to y hard to get with Master Guo. She just didn''t think
that she''d hit a snag. I mean, she could be in tears, regretting about it so much right now!"
