When Liu Lan saw Yuan Shu, she immediately welcomed her. She walked to Yuan Shu’s side and held her hand as she said, “Oh my god, Yuan Shu, you’re really beautiful today! 1 haven’t seen you only for a few days, but you’ve become even more beautiful again!”

Liu Lan was wearing a black fishtail dress today. She was tall to begin with, so when she wore a black fishtail dress, she looked mysterious and sexy.

Yuan Shu smiled as she reached out to hold Liu Lan’s hand and said, “You also look very beautiful today. This black dress makes your skin glow. Moreover, after not seeing you for a few days, you’ve become much more sweet-tongued!”

Liu Lan smiled happily and a little bashfully. Her cheeks turned pink.

Today was her brother’s cocktail party, so she had specifically dressed up. Now that she heard her good friend’s praise, especially since she was such a beautiful woman, she was overcome with joy.

“Hurry up and accompany me inside. I’ve been too busy recently to hang out with you. Let’s chat to our heart’s content today!” Liu Lan pulled Yuan Shu into the banquet hall and glanced at Shi Xiao, as if she was showing off. “Your female companion will be mine tonight-”

Shi Xiao didn’t expect Yuan Shu to be so popular in this circle. She was even friends with Liu Lan, who was famous for being picky. It seemed that there were many things he didn’t know about her.

Shi Yi also teased her brother. “Brother, Sister-in-law is popular with both sexes now. You have to be careful-”

Shi Xiao patted the back of Shi Yi’s head helplessly. “Alright, I’ll go socialize with the others now. You can play with your friends for a while too.”

“Alright!” Shi Yi went to look for her friends happily. Coincidentally, she saw a group of people who were close to her and there was a familiar figure among them, Chen Mo.

Shi Yi froze for a moment, but she still walked over.

She had always been on the best terms with Chen Mo in the past. When they were in the country, they were together almost every day. However, after Shi Yi went overseas for a period of time and came back, Chen Mo suddenly started to act a little strange and kept asking about her family.

In addition, Yuan Shu had also explicitly forbidden Shi Yi from interacting with Chen Mo again after the incident at the mall, so Shi Yi had not seen Chen Mo for a long time.

Chen Mo’s attitude wasn’t as hesitant as Shi Yi’s. When she saw Shi Yi, she immediately went up to hold Shi Yi’s arm and said sarcastically, “Shi Yi, you’ve been really busy recently and haven’t doted on us for a long time. Did you forget about us?”

The word ‘doted’ made the surrounding people feel uncomfortable. It was as if they were pets revolving around Shi Yi, waiting for Shi Yi’s call every day.

The way the surrounding people looked at Shi Yi changed instantly. They no longer looked as friendly as before, but disgusted. They knew that Chen Mo had always been on good terms with Shi Yi, so Chen Mo must have heard Shi Yi say this often.

They didn’t expect her to pretend to be good friends with them on the surface while she badmouthed them behind their backs. Now, she was still pretending to be close friends with them!

The others were furious and rolled their eyes before dispersing. They found another place to continue chatting in groups of two or three.

Shi Yi looked at everyone awkwardly. Their attitudes changed so quickly that Shi Yi didn’t even have a chance to explain.

Shi Yi looked at Chen Mo. This usually submissive girl had completely changed. The smugness in her eyes was obvious, and even the smile on her lips was disdainful.

In the past, Chen Mo was always soft-spoken and careful in everything she did. She was also bullied often. Shi Yi hated bullies, so she always protected Chen Mo and the two of them had the closest relationship.

When Yuan Shu told her to stay away from Chen Mo, Shi Yi was still a little resistant, since she felt that her friend definitely wouldn’t harm her. Now, it seemed that Yuan Shu had a sharp eye and saw through this batch’s true colors at a glance!

Shi Yi was furious.. She didn’t expect that after being friends for so long, Chen Mo actually backstabbed her!
