Deeply in Love: The Two-Faced CEO is Too Clingy

Chapter 30: How Did They Get the Invitation?

Chapter Thirty: How Did They Obtain the Invitation?

"Mrs. Zhao, hello. My name is Yue Yirou, and I am..."

"Yue Yirou, have you come to the wrong place?"

Yue Yirou walked up to Madam Zhao, bowed and greeted her, but before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted.

Yue Xintong, dressed in a red strapless evening gown, holding a half-glass of red wine, with heavy makeup, long hair, and high heels, walked towards her from the crowd, exuding charm.

Yue Yirou never expected to run into Yue Xintong here, and immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

“I came here with the same invitation as you. If I’ve gone to the wrong place, then what about you, Yue Xintong?” Yue Yirou retorted coldly.

"Really?" Yue Xintong sneered. "You didn't steal your invitation, did you? Oh, by the way, you didn't come home all night last night and only returned this afternoon. You didn't manage to get this invitation by sleeping with some boss, did you?"

Originally, no one paid much attention to Yue Yirou anymore, but as soon as Yue Xintong spoke, she instantly drew people's attention to Yue Yirou again. Of course, the gazes were still very strange, and even Madam Zhao's eyes changed slightly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't say that." Yue Yirou was both angry and embarrassed. She knew that Yue Xintong had always disliked her, but Yue Xintong had always been the one bullying her since childhood. She had never hurt her. How could she slander her like this in this situation?

"No?" Yue Xintong raised her wine glass, took a sip of red wine, and looked Yue Yirou up and down with a suspicious gaze.

Yue Yirou gasped and instinctively gripped her handbag tightly.

What does she want to do?

"For an occasion like this, you're dressed so conservatively. Do you have some kind of embarrassing mark on your body, like a hickey or something? If not, would you dare to pull down your collar or roll up your sleeves to show everyone?"

"..."

Pulling at the collar? Rolling up the sleeves?

How dare she?

Her body was covered in Yan Ye's marks.

She dared not tug at her collar, nor dared she roll up her sleeves.

He could only clutch his handbag tightly, glare at Yue Xintong, and stand there defensively.

"You don't dare show it to everyone? So I guess I hit the nail on the head, you're covered in hickeys? As far as I know, you don't have a boyfriend yet, so may I ask, where did you get these hickeys?" Yue Xintong smiled charmingly, but her eyes revealed a sinister glint.

"I..." Yue Yirou wanted to say that she had a boyfriend, but Lu Tingyun had not made their relationship public yet. After all, he was the president of Wanting and a celebrity. She didn't dare to make it public on her own. Most importantly, if she mentioned Lu Tingyun, it would be equivalent to admitting that she had hickeys on her body, but the hickeys on her body were not left by Lu Tingyun.

Seeing that Yue Yirou was speechless, Yue Xintong said smugly, "Speechless now? Does that mean you're admitting that you got the invitation by spending a night with a man?"

The people around her were in an uproar, and their gazes toward Yue Yirou became even more contemptuous and disgusted.

No, she couldn't let Yue Xintong ruin her reputation like this, she couldn't let Yue Xintong bully her like this anymore.

“I didn’t agree to anything. I can wear whatever I want. That doesn’t mean anything. I don’t need to prove anything because of your malicious speculation, and I don’t need to tell you how I got the invitation.”

Yue Yirou tried to ignore the stares around her, forcing herself to remain calm and composed: "I could never do something as indecent as pulling up my collar or rolling up my sleeves in public. I guess among the women here, only you, Yue Xintong, who wants to attract attention, could do it."

"You..." Yue Xintong was so angry that her chest heaved, and she couldn't speak.

The gazes directed at Yue Yirou now held less contempt and more admiration.

This girl looks so gentle and kind; she certainly doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do such dirty and shameless things just to attend a charity gala attended by celebrities.

The reason for dressing so conservatively is likely due to a conservative mindset.

All eyes turned to Yue Xintong, filled with scrutiny and accusation.

After Yue Yirou finished speaking, she seemed to understand why Yue Xintong had slandered her in this situation—it was all to seduce men.

Although she doesn't think she's less attractive than Yue Xintong, their current outfits and appearances make her look like a country girl next to a sexy goddess, highlighting how much more beautiful and elegant Yue Xintong appears.

The men attending this charity gala are all wealthy and powerful; she could easily hook up with any one of them and be glamorous enough.

I suspect that Yue Xintong's invitation was obtained through dirty means!

Rather than saying Yue Xintong was slandering her, it would be more accurate to say she was using her.

A pang of sorrow swept through Yue Yirou's heart. For Wan Ting's sake, she had endured countless scornful glances to beg Madam Zhao, only to be used by Yue Xintong.

She wanted to turn around and leave temporarily, but Yue Xintong wouldn't let her go.

"Fine, even if you obtained your invitation legitimately, you certainly didn't come here to do charity or good deeds, did you? Just now, I saw you trying to get to know this noble lady. You came here to curry favor with the powerful, didn't you?"

As soon as Yue Xintong said this, the attention of the onlookers returned to Yue Yirou.

"No, I didn't want to get to know this Mrs. Zhao to curry favor with her, I wanted to..."

This is a charity gala, and it concerns Wan Ting's reputation, so she can't reveal the purpose of this event in front of everyone.

"Don't tell everyone that you approached Madam Zhao just to discuss charity. Charity requires action. If you are truly compassionate and came here for charity, then prove it with your actions."

After Yue Xintong finished speaking, she beckoned to a waiter, placed her wine glass on the waiter's tray, unzipped her handbag, took out a credit card, and placed it on the waiter's tray: "I'm donating 100,000 yuan to show my love. Yue Yirou, are you really here for charity? Where is your donation?"

Although Mr. Xu Qingping, the chairman of the Xu Group, was exchanging pleasantries with the guests, his eyes were constantly fixed on the direction of the hall entrance, as if he was waiting for the appearance of a person of high status.

Over the years, he has made time to attend this charity gala every year. I wonder if he will come this year since he is hosting it.

At this moment, his subordinate came over and whispered to him about the situation in that corner. Mr. Xu frowned slightly and was about to take a step towards that corner when a tall and aloof figure suddenly appeared in his line of sight. He immediately turned around, put on a smile, and went to greet him at the entrance of the hall.

Yan Ye, dressed in a custom-made dark gray suit and a pair of shiny black handmade leather shoes, appeared in the hall with an elegant and languid gait and an indifferent expression. Just like when Yue Yirou appeared, he immediately attracted countless eyes. However, the difference was that the gazes directed at him were filled with worship, awe, admiration, amazement, and infatuation...

As soon as he entered, Yan Ye noticed the slender and delicate figure surrounded by the crowd in the corner, and his heart skipped a beat.

This despicable woman, how dare she show her face in front of him!
