My Hubby Can't Stop Pampering Me

Chapter 877: Chapter 879 Passerby (5)

Although these people seemed arrogant, it was only a verbal arrogance. They were quite happy at first to be invited by Cai Yiren to attend the engagement party, and even more so when they heard it was going to be at an internationally renowned five-star hotel, with the highest standard of treatment. Later, when they learned that even movie stars would be there, they were both excited and anticipatory.

But when it came to Xue Feifei, although they appeared unfazed on the surface, their hearts were somewhat troubled.

Lu Weixi and Xue Feifei were not lacking in money, certainly wealthier than them, they could get the latest luxury branded clothes, carry the most beautiful handbags, have the perfect hairstyles, makeup, and arrive in luxury cars. Despite one having been involved with two brothers at the same time, and even stealing a friend’s fiancé, and constantly facing the threat of being divorced over the years, she seemed to be living quite well now. The other one, no matter how C-list and relying on scandals to climb up, was still better off than them. This is society for you, where poverty is scorned but not prostitution. They had worked hard, mistakenly thinking that studying at N University put them on the same starting line, only to realize it was all a Naive dream.

Having finished talking about these few, Xue Feifei really did intend to attend the banquet that evening. She immediately called Director Zhao, and in front of these people, replied directly, “Director Zhao, sorry about earlier, I said I might have something on and couldn’t go to the banquet, but the matter is done now, can I still join you guys? If not, I can just come from Qin Zhiyou’s side. Okay, got it, then I’ll see you at six in the evening.”

After hanging up the phone, she couldn’t be bothered with the few of them and directly took Lu Weixi’s arm, “Let’s go, we need to buy a dress.”

“What’s the hurry, let’s eat first,” Lu Weixi replied calmly, patting her hand and maintaining a peaceful expression. She then turned back and smiled, “Ladies, see you tonight. You’re also welcome to join my brother-in-law’s engagement party.”

The calmer she was, the more it irritated the others. Xue Feifei’s fire was dampened by her attitude too. She huffed and directly went into the restaurant with her. The woman who had been doused with wine also wanted to enter but was pulled back by a companion. They didn’t need to walk in to see the decor and the polite yet awkward smiles of the service staff to know it was going to be expensive. A quick search of the average cost per person showed 800+, as expected.

However, Lu Weixi no longer needed the special living expense approval from Qin Zhiyou. She had participated in several projects, and although not focused on profit, still earned more than when she previously designed home furnishings, even able to cover her mother’s medical expenses. Sometimes society is like that, before you open that door, life feels extremely hard. But once you make that leap, you find that opportunities to make money are plentiful.

Inside, Lu Weixi was pouring water for the still-irate Xue Feifei, “Why are you angry? What’s the point in arguing with that kind of people? Are they even worth your time? You’ve been insulted by netizens before, haven’t you? Why are you losing your cool today?”

Xue Feifei downed her drink in one gulp, still blustering, “You’ve really mastered the art of keeping your cool over the years. It’s okay for them to curse me online, I don’t see it so it doesn’t bother me. But making a scene in front of me, I can’t stand that.”

Lu Weixi nodded, then thought of something and asked, “Are you really going tonight? I feel like you’ve been off lately, is there something troubling you?”
