Cecilia Gu didn't want to deal with this woman and turned to leave.
But the singer suddenly blocked Cecilia's path.
"I'm not done talking yet, don't be in such a hurry to leave!" The pop diva reached out to stop Cecilia and said, "I don't know who you are, but you must know me, right?"
Cecilia gave her a speechless look.
The singer continued, "In the music world, I'm basically a legend. Naturally, I wouldn't stoop to argue with a commoner like you. Do you even know where you are? How could someone so ordinary and poor show up here? This kind of wine—just looking at it is enough for you. Do you really think you can afford to drink it?"
Cecilia was truly speechless.
She hadn't provoked this woman, had she?
What was this woman's problem?
Stealing someone else's husband and still being so arrogant—is that really okay?
At that moment, someone nearby recognized the pop diva and started whispering, "Wow, isn't that the famous Charlene Chang? I heard she's recently gotten close to the CEO of Yin Enterprises! And rumor has it the CEO's family is in crisis. Mr. Yin hasn't been home for ages, apparently spending all his time with Charlene Chang."
"Yeah, I heard about it too. At first I thought it was just a rumor, but a couple of days ago I actually saw Charlene Chang go into a hotel with Charles Yin, and they didn't come out until the next morning."
"Wait, isn't the CEO of Yin Enterprises supposed to be super close with his wife? How come he's sneaking around so soon?"
"Oh, come on! Wildflowers always smell sweeter than the ones at home! Hehehe."
"True. Charlene Chang looks great, has a killer figure, and rumor has it she's got connections. No wonder she landed Mr. Yin."
"Look, is Charlene Chang about to make things hard for that poor pregnant woman? Tsk tsk, that's just sad! Which wealthy family is she from anyway? She looks so familiar, like I've seen her somewhere before."
"Don't be ridiculous. How could you have seen her before? Look at her clothes and bag—they're not even limited edition. She's probably from some nouveau riche family. Tsk tsk, her belly's so big and she still has to show up at events. Her husband must be such a loser!"
Cecilia Gu could hear all the whispers and stares directed at her, and she instantly felt the malice from the crowd.
For comfort, Cecilia had chosen a simple, cozy outfit from a small brand, and her bag wasn't a designer label either—it was handmade from an online shop she liked.
The whole look only cost a few thousand yuan.
Compared to those people who spent tens or even hundreds of thousands on their outfits, she really did look a bit plain.
But so what?
Cecilia Gu listened to the whispers and Charlene Chang's arrogant provocation, sighing softly, "So what?"
"I'm just looking out for you! If you can't handle your drink, don't embarrass yourself! Do you know that a single bottle from the wine cellar costs more than your entire outfit?" Charlene Chang mocked, leaning in closer. "I have no idea how you managed to catch Charles Yin's eye, or what kind of magic you used to make him stop for you. But none of that matters to me, as long as you stay far away."
Charles Yin? It's always about Charles Yin!
Looks like Charlene Chang really doesn't recognize who I am.
"Does Miss Chang know that Charles Yin has been married for ages and has a devoted wife at home?" Cecilia's eyes were icy, her tone calm. "Is it really okay to be seen going in and out with a married man like that?"
Charlene Chang sneered, "So what? What man doesn't cheat a little? If you keep an old lady at home, of course he's not interested in coming back! Ugh, why am I even talking to you? What's your relationship with Charles Yin anyway? You sound like you know him pretty well."
Cecilia nodded lightly, "Yeah, I know him very well."
Charlene Chang glared at Cecilia, wary. "Shameless! You're heavily pregnant and still trying to steal my man? I've never lost before! So if you know what's good for you, you'd better get lost, or else..."
"Or else what?" Cecilia smiled lightly. "Like you said, what man doesn't cheat a little? Even with my belly, maybe that's exactly what he likes. Looks like you're the one who's worried! Instead of warning me, you should hurry home and do your best to keep him entertained."
