Gu Xiaoer casually turned her head to look toward the private room's entrance, but in the next second, she was so shocked that her mouth fell open. Half a translucent, jade-like grape was still bitten at the edge of her mouth, making her look incredibly comical and adorable.
Standing at the entrance of the private room was an eye-catching woman, clad in a tight, refreshing red dress, her feet in similarly colored high heels that were both tall and thin. Her wavy hair casually draped over her shoulders, her features heavily made-up, with bright red lips and thick mascara that particularly stole the show.
If this seductive woman wasn't the same one from this morning, who else could it be?!
Gu Xiaoer was stupefied.
The several men sitting down didn't react, they turned their heads, turned back again, and continued their conversation.
It was still Shen Mingyou who was the liveliest, her Barbie-like face showing surprise as she looked toward the door, but she still cheerfully went to greet her, "Sister Bai Yao, you're here!"
As she spoke, she looped her arm through Lin Baiyao's and introduced her to everyone, "Look, this is a sister I met online, Lin Baiyao!" Although she was well aware that the people here probably weren't interested in knowing her.
With a pinched voice, Lin Baiyao greeted everyone with a familiarity, waiting for the men present to fawn over her like stars around the moon. She had deliberately chosen to be ten minutes late to achieve the "beauty arrives fashionably late" effect, thus gathering all the attention in the room upon herself.
The private room fell silent.
Gu Xiaoer was disheveled, nudging Han Luoli with her elbow, and murmured in a lowered voice, "This... is she the one who bet with me this morning, right?"
"Don't know." Han Luoli was disinterested. He had already forgotten what that morning's woman looked like; he only remembered her perfume was very strong, quite disgusting.
Gu Xiaoer rolled her eyes, "Hmm, right, you're so eloquent."
However, the fact that this woman was Youyou's online friend—talk about a small world indeed!
Why did a vague premonition of ill fortune weigh on her heart, making her feel that today's birthday party was going to be very... peculiar?
While Gu Xiaoer was eyeing Lin Baiyao, Lin Baiyao also spotted her.
The smile on her heavily made-up seductive face stiffened suddenly, her thickly mascaraed fake eyelashes almost popping off in her astonishment, forgetting to maintain her composure.
"You, it's actually you!" she raised her voice shrilly, glaring at Gu Xiaoer.
"Sister Bai Yao, what's wrong?" Shen Mingyou was startled, a hint of embarrassment flickering across her face.
It was supposed to be her private birthday gathering today, with no plans to invite anyone. Sister Bai Yao was just too enthusiastic, leaving her no choice but to invite her along. But now, not only had she dressed so... inappropriately, but she also started pointing at her sister-in-law, which was very impolite.
"Youyou! She's the woman I told you about, the one who swindled over ten thousand yuan from me!" Lin Baiyao clasped Shen Mingyou's hand as if seeking backup to complain.
Hey!
Gu Xiaoer was now frustrated, what did she mean by swindling over ten thousand yuan? The bet was her idea, and the guy was her choice, if you can't afford to lose then don't gamble, how can you slander people just like that!
Gu Xiaoer was very displeased, extremely displeased!
She grabbed the man who was chatting with the brothers, as steady as Mount Tai, and walked towards the entrance, confronting Lin Baiyao with a show of force, "Not just me, but him too!"
"Wow, damn!" Lin Baiyao's brain seemed to lack oxygen, "A man you picked up from the streets, and you even dare to bring him out publicly. Xiao Er, everyone said he's got a wife!"
"Sister Bai Yao, please calm down!" Shen Mingyou frowned.
"Youyou, what's your relationship with her? Sister is telling you the truth, this woman is very scheming, don't be fooled by her! Did you see the man she's brought with her? A married man!"
"Sister Bai Yao, what are you talking about?" Shen Mingyou was unhappy now, "Sister Xiao Er is actually Brother Li's wife!"
