When the maître d' led René Alejandro, Wei Lan and Randy to their reserved private room which was the best in the secret exclusive restaurant, the handful of guests who were milling in the common lounge area couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the new arrivals. They all stared at the group with a combination of disbelief and curiosity.
Wei Lan straightened her back and lifted her chin as she strutted as if she was on the catwalk. She recognized some of the guests as high society wives who liked to lord over their status to everyone else by either accepting people they liked into their fold or ostracizing those that they disliked.
She, herself, had long endured these snobbish women's cold shoulders ever since she married Long Tengfei back in the days. They had never accepted her and did everything in their power to shun her from high society.
