Woman In White

"Miss Li, I do not remember giving you an invitation to my Dad's party." Yang Shiwei said while smiling prettily.

Li Ruyan also smiled despite the provocative words of the other party.

"Miss Yang, it is nice to see you. Since I heard that it is CEO Yang's birthday party for the night, I was simply passing by and decided to offer my greetings and congratulations. Although I don't have an invitation, I hope Miss Yang would not turn down my good intentions. Ah, of course, Miss Yang is also free to refuse. I can simply leave if my presence makes you feel displeased." Li Ruyan countered.

She was aware that her voice was not low and the surrounding people at the entrance could hear them talking.

Most of all, two beautiful women with contrasting auras at the entrance were too eye-catching to be ignored and people's gazes immediately zeroed in on them especially when they noticed that the woman in red was Yang Shiwei, CEO Yang's beloved daughter.

Yang Shiwei's lips twitched a little. How could she not know what Li Ruyan was implying?

If she turned her away, the people who did not know about their feud would think that she was being too petty and rude for turning away someone who came here to congratulate her father. And if she said yes, she'd feel humiliated because she was letting the other party have their way!

Her plan to make trouble for this woman who has a dubious relationship with her fiancé was ruined.

Yang Shiwei fixed her expression. She would not give up so easily.

"Oh, Miss Li, you don't have to act so formally with me. I just found it strange since my Dad has never mentioned Miss Li to me. Miss Li sounds like she is a good friend of my Dad since she even took the effort to come here and to dress up so nicely. How could I refuse Miss Li who is so friendly?"

Li Ruyan also got the message and it did not sound good at all.

Yang Shiwei was implying that she was a stranger who was claiming to have connections with CEO Yang while also implying that with her way of dressing up, didn't this made Li Ruyan look like someone who is an escort? Or better yet, a green tea bxtch wanting to get her way in so she could climb higher using her looks?

But this was also detrimental to Yang Shiwei since she had unconsciously implied that her own father was the kind of man who hired escorts.

In the business circle, people valued their face and reputation. Even this kind of simple thing like hiring escorts would be looked down upon.

Of course, there were still some people who did not care and would openly do these things simply because they have the money and power to back their actions.

Then there was the last part in Yang Shiwei's sentence. Friendly also meant promiscuous in Yang Shiwei's way of speaking.

The surrounding people began to whisper because they were able to decipher the words that Yang Shiwei said.

"This woman in white is actually an escort?"

"Tch. Tch. This is the reason why the deadliest weapon isn't a gun but a woman. You have to be careful when dealing with these types."

"Sigh. Women nowadays are gold diggers. They might look pretty on the outside but who would have thought that they are actually so greedy and would do anything for money, even losing their moral integrity and dignity."

"Hey, I did not expect that CEO Yang would hire an escort for his party."

"Who is this woman in white? She looks beautiful but it is a pity, she is actually such a loose woman."

Li Ruyan inhaled deeply.

In her mind, she was thinking of Min Yue.

'Min Yue, for you, I came here. For you, I will endure this kind of humiliation. For you, I am willing to face this woman who is now your fiancée...'

Li Ruyan did not let the surrounding people's words affect her.

"I can say the same to Miss Yang. Miss Yang is so friendly even though we only met yesterday." Li Ruyan replied politely.

"White Breeze Restaurant has a lot of positive ratings and reviews. I simply decided to eat at that place since I was given a day off from my secretarial duties at the company I work at so I thought I could give it a try. Who would have expected that I would meet Miss Yang at that place, who is accompanied by her fiancé and father. If I am not mistaken, another person who is an assistant is also there." She was referring to PA Ren.

With this, Li Ruyan was able to clarify her position.

She was not an escort and was working as a secretary. She simply met them by coincidence. Moreover, they had only met yesterday. She used Yang Shiwei's words against her. The way Li Ruyan praised her words and described Yang Shiwei as friendly meant she was up to something since they had only met once.

The people's gaze became profound.

"Ah, so Miss Yang purposely came here to trouble the other woman."

"Isn't she ashamed? Today is CEO Yang's birthday party."

"This woman in white looks familiar..."

"Now that you mention that, I think this woman is similar to CEO Chen's secretary. Isn't this, Miss Li?"

"Did you say Miss Li?"

"Oh my, she looks so different in a dress... She always wears the same kind of blouse and pencil skirt for work. Her stern gaze is so scary. Who would have thought that simply dressing up would turn her into such a beauty!"

"Are you serious? That Miss Li? That scary and difficult to please Miss Li who is CEO Chen's secretary?"

When her identity was revealed, more and more people crowded in the entrance and were looking at her, appraising her like she was some kind of rare fish that have swum its way here. Li Ruyan's straight posture did not slack as she stood up with dignity, not the least bit bothered by the gossip happening around her.

She was not a simple person.

She was Li Ruyan.

She was a daughter of the Li's and was not one to back away from a fight.

Against Yang Shiwei who was a spoiled young lady, Li Ruyan had no problem dealing with her. Even if she could not enter, that was not her problem. She came and did her best. She would go home if she was refused.

That was that.

Atleast she would show this woman that she was no pushover.
