Chapter 046 Troublesome fellow
…
Yvette Lao is the daughter of a business family that owns a shipping company. She is the only daughter in the family, so is a bit spoiled when it comes to the attention given to her.
Treated like a princess she would always get whatever she wanted whether its money, friends, or even men.
Yvette is a well-known socialite and likes to mingle with many people. She always likes to be the center of attention everywhere she would go.
However, ever since she become friends with Celene, the attention given to her lessened.
But since today is her birthday, she is expecting that all of the people and the talks would be about her and her new boyfriend.
She proudly looks at the crowd and when she looks at the table where Celene is. She could not help but frown when she saw that a more gorgeous-looking woman is actually sitting beside her, already eye-catching, friend.
The woman is by far too pretty and attractive for her not to notice.
She suddenly felt a hint of jealousy in her eyes and then suddenly looks at the young man beside her.
When she saw him looking in that woman's direction with interest in his eyes, she could not help but glare at him.
She slightly pinches his arm and then showed a forced smile while slightly glaring at him.
The young man seem to have known what she is signaling so he swipe the side of his hair and showed an embarrassed smile.
"If you look at that bitch one more time, I'm going to kick you out…" she muttered under her teeth.
The young man awkwardly smiles and just nodded his head.
But deep inside of him he is smirking at Yvette. How dare she try to control him?
He is John Su, a B-list actor and one of the rising heartthrobs in the country. He has many fans and Yvette is one of them. The reason why he is with Yvette today is that it was tasked by his agency.
In fact, according to them, if he could get along with her, then it would be good for his career.
So he just followed the company's setup and goes with the flow.
However, he found Yvette's company a bit fun so the two began a relationship in which both of them benefitted.
However, that woman truly attracted his attention and interest. How could he pass the opportunity in knowing such a stunning girl?
After a while, he decided to walk to the table of Celene and Jisoo along with the rest of Yvette's circle of friends.
"Hey, if it isn't the now-famous John Su…" Celene suddenly greeted with a smile.
John Su was a bit stunned as Celene suddenly called his name. He feels a bit awkward but also a bit proud. At least that woman would know who he is now, right?
But to his dismay, the woman seems uninterested as she just browsed her phone.
He decided to man up and walk up to her side.
"Hi, I'm John Su… You're a new face among the beauties here… What's your name?" John asked casually.
Jisoo lifted her eyes and looks at the young man then lowered her head and then said.
"Jisoo…"
John was a bit stunned when he saw the nonchalant reaction of the woman. He could not help but awkwardly nodded and then walks away.
"Haha… That was funny…" Celene suddenly teases.
The other women also chuckled while looking at Jisoo who seem to be oblivious to what just happened.
"You're so cool, sister…" Celene said while linking arms with Jisoo who showed a confused expression.
Celene suddenly peeks at Jisoo's phone and saw that Jisoo is actually looking at some medical reports.
"Haha… Are you still studying? Is that about my mom's disease?" she suddenly asked.
"Umm… No, this is another kind of disease that made me interested. I expected mor…" Jisoo stooped as she held her words.
She was about to say… mortals are fragile… but decided to stop.
She knew that if she says such words they would think of her as a lunatic.
"What kind of disease is that?" Celene asked in curiosity.
"Cancer… The treatment presented here is very plausible… but the problem is the aftermath. I'm thinking that it would be better if…" Jisoo suddenly stopped as she noticed that the women at the table are looking at her weirdly.
"Ah, sorry… it just fascinates me… That's all…"
"Umm… Doctor Sung, are trying to cure cancer or something?" asked one of the women jokingly.
"Hihi… Well, it's actually a bit tricky, but it is possible…" Jisoo answered casually.
The women look at each other with disbelief.
No doctor would claim as such and according to their knowledge, she would be the first one to say such claims.
"Haha… Well, Jisoo is no ordinary doctor. Just watch, you shall hear her name in the medical field sooner or later…" Celene proudly said.
Suddenly, Yvette walked to their table with John Su in hand.
"Happy birthday…" the women on the table greeted her and gave her their gifts.
Meanwhile, Jisoo looks up and also greeted the woman.
When Yvette saw that Jisoo is truly more beautiful than her, she could not help but feel truly annoyed deep in her heart.
"You're Celene's new friend? As you've known, I'm Yvette…" she stifled her annoyance and asked.
Jisoo nodded her head.
"I'm Jisoo…"
Then everyone at the table began giving her their gifts, and then she looks back at Jisoo as if expecting something from her.
Celene frowns when she saw this.
"Yvette, this is me and my new sister's gift for you…" Celene gave her a small box.
Yvette accepted and showed a faint smile on her face. But she still showed a hint of dissatisfaction in her gaze.
"Thank you." She said then left the table with the guy John Su.
"I think Yvette does not like Doctor Sung…" one of the women said with a teasing tone.
"Hihi… That's okay… I can have Jisoo for myself."
Jisoo also did not like the woman, but since this is her birthday party she could not just attend and give no gifts, right?
Jisoo decided to give her a gift as she looks at Yvette for the second time. But this time, her eyes suddenly change color to blue for 2 seconds and then turn back.
She takes out a pen from her pocket, then her small notebook. She tore a page and then began to scribble something on the small notebook's page.
She then began to scribble something on the page while folding it. It's like Jisoo has been doing such a thing for a long time as she expertly finishes the writing.
Soon, the small page has been folded to thumb size but its surface is filled with scribbled lines.
After that, Jisoo tore another page and then made it into an envelope. The women on the table look at her curiously.
When she uses her finger to remove the lines on the notebook, the one sitting near her and Celene closes their mouth in astonishment.
"How… how did you do that?" Celene could not help but ask in a low voice.
Jisoo just signaled her to keep quiet.
Then she wrote on the now small pocket-sized white envelope… Calm Heart.
Jisoo slowly stood up and then walked gracefully towards Yvette.
When Yvette saw the graceful Jisoo walking toward her, she frowned.
"I'm sorry, I did not prepare any gifts for you. But, this one is from the bottom of my heart. May you always keep it close to you at all times…" Jisoo said as she gave the small envelope.
Yvette is already annoyed at Jisoo but she is not a scandalous woman, so she just accepted the small envelope.
She did not want to open it, so she just puts them in her purse.
While Jisoo is walking back to her seat, Yvette is still glaring at her back.
But Yvette could not deny that the woman is truly beautiful. Even her confident way of walking made those people around her turn their eyes at her.
…
The party continues and Jisoo gets to know more of Celene's friends as she tried to socialize with them.
But in the middle of the party, a small commotion happened outside.
This small commotion has garnered the attention of the people inside the hall.
The reason for this commotion is the two thug-looking fellows trying to approach one of the women from the party.
That young woman just came back from the ladies' room, but before she could enter the hall, she was blocked by the two guys.
In her nervousness, she suddenly slaps one of the guys and then ran inside the hall.
The two did not want to let things slide so they followed.
Now the woman's boyfriend is defending her against the two guys who are now glaring at them.
Jisoo and the rest walked to the entrance of the hall and noticed the boyfriend of that young woman on the ground with blood on his mouth.
Then a middle-aged man is standing between the two thugs and the couple.
"Please… we can talk this out, right?" the middle-aged man said with large beads of sweat on his forehead.
The people just look and dare not intervene because of the bulky build of the two guys.
"Hehe… Our boss feels a bit lonely at the other hall, so if that woman can accompany our boss, then we can let this slide."
"Do you think we're stupid? We should call the police… these guys are harassing us…" the young man on the ground said as he slowly stands up.
The young woman is already worriedly looking at the young man's face while showing a worried expression.
"Hehe… You can call all you want. No one would come… Our boss is Little Xhao, what do you think you could do?" one of the men glared.
When the people heard his words, they all quieted down.
Although many of them in this party are rich and have money, they dare not cross paths with the gangsters, especially when they heard that name… Little Xhao.
This is because that name has already sent shivers running down their spine.
