Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Su Luo chuckled. "Don't make yourself sound so pitiful. I promise you, okay?" With that, she picked up another box with her gown in it and walked toward the changing room.
Five minutes later, Su Luo came out of the changing room. Huo Chen's eyes were filled with amazement when he saw her. The woman before him was wearing a burgundy gown, an open shoulder design that reveals Su Luo's exquisite and perfect collarbone. The gown was designed to shrink the waist, accentuating Su Luo's slim and graceful figure. The hem of the dress fell to her knees, and her slender snow-white legs were faintly discernible as she walked. The burgundy dress complimented her fair skin and gave her an elegant temperament.
"Luoluo, you're so beautiful!" Huo Chen praised sincerely.
Su Luo's face was slightly red. "Brother Huo, don't tease me. Aren't we going to the party? Let's go quickly."
When Su Luo got into Huo Chen's passenger seat, she felt a little embarrassed when she recalled what had happened back then while she was here. When they arrived at the party hotel, many luxury cars were parked outside the hotel entrance. The daughters and sons of various wealthy families also came one after another.
In the banquet hall, the guests gathered, drinking and exchanging pleasantries. The men held onto their champagnes and talked enthusiastically, while the ladies were grouped with people they knew, gossiping about the upper-class society.
Su Luo held Huo Chen's hand as they walked into the banquet hall. The moment they appeared, all the guests turned to look at them. Although Su Luo couldn't hear what they were saying, she knew that even though some time had passed, the matter of her and Chu Dongfeng breaking off their engagement was still a hot topic.
Su Luo was already prepared for this. Her attitude was very calm. On the other hand, Huo Chen looked at her worriedly. "Luoluo, are you alright?"
Su Luo revealed a sweet smile. "Don't worry, Brother Huo. They can say whatever they want. It won't affect me..."
Huo Chen saw nothing unusual about her, so he was relieved. He brought her to talk to people he was familiar with. Huo Chen was wealthy, and his friends were all upper-class people with good temperaments. Therefore, Su Luo was happy to get to know them. During the conversation, Su Luo saw someone she was familiar with. She let Huo Chen know and went to look for her.
"Feifei." Su Luo smiled and greeted a sweet-looking girl.
Liu Feifei was also happy to see Su Luo. "Luoluo, why are you here? I didn't hear you say anything about you coming to this party?"
"I wasn't planning to, but Brother Huo Chen invited me, so here I am." Su Luo explained with a smile. Liu Feifei was one of Su Luo's best friends. Because of Chu Dongfeng, Su Luo did not have many friends in the upper-class circle.
As the two were talking, there was another commotion at the party's entrance. Su Luo looked over and saw that Chu Dongfeng had brought his female companion here. His female companion was none other than Su Luo's former best friend, Jiang Xi. Jiang Xi's appearance was delicate looking, giving off a gentle look. She was the type that men loved very much.
Jiang Xi was dressed in a small green gown. The makeup on her face was very light. Standing beside the tall Chu Dongfeng, she looked even more petite. When she saw Su Luo, Jiang Xi pulled Chu Dongfeng over to greet her. "Luoluo, Feifei, you're here too?"
Before Su Luo could say anything, Liu Feifei sneered disdainfully. "Don't use that tone with us. We're not that close to you. Also, please stay away from us. The smell coming from you is polluting the air."
Su Luo had just broken off the engagement with Chu Dongfeng when Jiang Xi, her friend, could not wait for even a little to be with Chu Dongfeng. Her behavior was highly repulsive.
Hearing Liu Feifei's words, Jiang Xi's eyes reddened with tears. "Luoluo, I...Dongfeng and I are truly in love..."
Su Luo didn't even look at her. She nodded directly at Chu Dongfeng. "Mr. Chu, take good care of your bitch. Don't let it bite someone."
Jiang Xi's expression turned ugly when she heard Su Luo call her a bitch. However, what made her even more uneasy was Chu Dongfeng's attitude. Chu Dongfeng stared fixedly at Su Luo for a long time, then he said, "How have you been... recently?"
Su Luo shrugged. "Very good. Much better than before."
Jiang Xi bit her lips hard. Su Luo didn't want to mix with them for too long. After a few casual words, she pulled Liu Feifei and left.
The two found a place to sit for a short while. A waiter came over to deliver the wine. Su Luo took the wine glass and took a sip. Suddenly, she felt a little hot. She thought it was because there were too many people at the banquet, so she told Liu Feifei to go to the balcony to get some air. But she just felt hotter and hotter.
