Chapter 271: Selena Tang (20) <2-in-1>
The celebration went on. The ones who stayed were quite lucky since they managed to witness a few more interesting events. An example, was how the sole Tang family member who attended was outcasted
Tang Yu Yan was the one sent by the family to congratulate the birthday celebrant. The woman was known to the whole upper society as a leech to the prestigious family. Due to Selena Tang's return, a comparison between them was brought up.
Usually, in dramas, it would be the fake who would shine when placed next to the real since the fake was the one who received an elite education and grew up knowing how to be elegant and stylish.
However, Selena Tang did not follow this script. Through her own hard work and brain, she showed that she could enter and graduate from an elite university. In fact, before Selena Tang was discovered by her family, she already had a bit of fame for winning international contests in literature. She obtained riches through her own effort and severed her connection to the parasite family that 'raised' her as a maid.
The fake was put in an awkward situation. In the minds of people, she was nothing compared to the real princess, be it her real lineage or ability. Even though Selena Tang's parents did not drive her away, the head of the family already announced that she would not have a part of the inheritance of the Tangs.
Had she been promised some part of the Tang's legacy, a few would have flocked to her side and befriended her. But she was not. Her appearance was only enough to enter Liu De's harem. It fell short when compared to Selena Tang's.
The fake only exceeded the other in terms of skill in appealing to her parents and appearing weak, pitiful, and lovely to people. Yet those were skills that had no effect on the majority of the people in the gathering. Therefore, the gazes directed at her from most who knew her were strange.
Actually, even those from Qin Tai's group were.
One time, the painter said, "Come to think of it, one way or another, aren't those few who fell for Liu De are problematic? I think many are lacking in vision Or have some attitude problems What do you think guys?"
The rest who heard them felt pain in their heads, inwardly agreeing despite this silence.
Qin Tai shrugged and said, 'You're right, so thankfully, I'm done with my previous obsession. But actually, it's not that bad. I mean, not everyone is like that. The case is not that serious, at least when compared to who Wen Hui likes'
The boys gave the man mentioned a meaningful look. Wen Hui also shrugged. 'It's my business who I like. And Yu Yan is also not that bad.'
Listening to his reply, the rest could only dismiss the matter. Although to be honest, if not for knowing that she was at least sweet and genuine to those who cared for her, they would have advised Wen Hui to give up on Tang Yu Yan and instilled some sense into his brain.
That was all for the fake princess of the Tang family.
The other exciting event that took place was Mo Zan's meeting with Liu De who attended the party with Mo Fang as his female partner.
According to rumors, those three had a heart to heart talk inside the restroom. Not many knew of what they discussed. However, one loose-lipped person spread rumors about how the lady CEO warned the actress to know her place and to stop being familiar with her
'We have the same surname but we're not related by blood. Stop assuming you are free to call me sister,' Mo Zan apparently said to the other woman, in a tone filled with disgust.
At the time, Mo Fang turned to Liu De, showing a pitiful face. The man felt like she was being bullied so he defended her against Mo Zan.
But his actions resulted in the high-born woman holding more dissatisfaction with him. This was why even though she could feel that she still had feelings for Liu De, she did not continue speaking to him and directly left the venue. She gave him no more opportunity to lecture her again.
Along the way home, her eyes fell on the smiling photo of her ex-fianc sent to her anonymously by her associate. She kept looking at it for a fairly long while, her thoughts unknown to anyone.
...
'Stop assuming you can call me sister. I don't plan to take a shameless adulteress like you as my blood relative!'
Hours later, these words kept echoing in Mo Fang's ears, making her absentmindedly stare into the distance. She was manually drying her hair using a white towel. Reflected on her vacant eyes was the painting of a vast grassland. It was quite breathtaking. There was a cute prairie dog standing on its hindlegs facing the beautiful sunset on the left side of the painting.
It was the same artwork that made her remember what the arrogant president of Dreamer Entertainment told her. Mo Fang subsequently remembered the embarrassment she felt.
"That b*tch." With displeasure written all over her face, she spat out in annoyance. She stood up and paced around her hotel room.
What made that Mo Zan think that she was on the top of the world? Hours ago, all she did was greet the other woman since she was her company's ultimate boss. There were other women with ambiguous relationships with Liu De who attended the same event. So why was she the one who received the lashings?
All sorts of complaints ran in her mind. As she grumbled about the CEO of Dreamer, she also remembered Liu De's attitude earlier and then became even more annoyed.
"Liu De is too much as well!" she hissed.
Mo Zan was not aware but when the man saw her leaving, he panicked and then began throwing blaming words and gazes at Mo Fang. He didn't want the lady CEO to leave. He must have wanted to claim her in his left arm while holding the b*tch on his right. So when this did not become reality, she was rebuked.
This was actually what made her very dissatisfied. It was that other woman who had a dirty mouth and even shouted in the restroom what she shouldn't. He chastised Mo Zan, and it was only fair. But then, he blamed her when that woman left?
"I think we should not meet for a week." She remembered that in anger and frustration, she told the male lead these which also made him sport a lost expression. But then, she was truly fuming.
Mo Fang had been too obedient towards the man so he would remember her as a good woman. However, it seemed she couldn't pass some days without showing him that she also could have her temper.
And well, it was the truth anyway. The insult had just been too much... So she also left him there.
The woman only remembered getting insulted by what Mo Zan said, however, she subconsciously forgot that there was a reason why she got those words from the other. In her heart, she was only feeling angry about how Liu De treated her horribly just because one b*tch threw tantrums.
'I better clear my thoughts and stop making myself angry. There are many more things to do. I have to check how the media sees my participation in the party.'
Mo Fang, still dressed in her bathrobe, picked up her phone from the dressing table and then went back to the bed. Her figure as she laid there was very enchanting, giving off a vibe present only to mature women.
A smile emerged on her pretty face currently devoid of makeup upon seeing the news. In her heart, she praised the reporters who sneaked in because the photos of her were all beautiful. The sparkling little gems and sequins on her red dress made her beauty shine more. She really looked gorgeous there, worthy of stepping into that place as one of the invited guests.
Her eyes promptly moved downward, glancing through the body of the article. Originally, anticipation was brimming in her chest. However, it vanished like smoke a moment later when she confirmed that her name was not mentioned.
In the news, There was only a part hinting that CEO Mo of Dreamer Entertainment got into an argument in a restroom for an actor. Liu De was not named in the incident. However, he was mentioned in the opening part of the article, detailing how prestigious the party was due to his and Mo Zan's appearance.
"Arrrgggghhhhh!"
She vented her frustration by shouting. She spent some time spouting profanities and vulgar words inside the room. She had no qualms shouting there since she was the only one inside. More yells poured out of her throat, and her hands kept punching and throwing pillows.
'When did I suffer like this? I'm so angry! I'm so angry!'
'Mo Zan hates me and does not welcome me in the sisterhood. She must have intentionally let the news out so people will be curious and then made some moves against me.'
'Hah. They won't find anything! And Liu De will surely not give up on me because his brain is filled with straws!'
'Still, so infuriating!!! I want to throw sulfuric acid on her face!'
The woman kept on cursing the two while not forgetting to encourage herself. However, deep within, she recognized that she was also feeling inadequate and a bit afraid of the future.
Somehow, an image floated in her mind. Afterward, she quietened down and sat on the edge of the bed.
'Before, Zheng Xiang never allowed me to suffer. And whenever I feel depressed or insulted by my haters, he would be the first to jump to my defense.'
Mo Fang was quiet for a while before shaking the thoughts away. Before she knew it though, her fingers were already betraying her, fiddling on her phone. When she realized this, questions rose up one after another. How was he doing? What had he been up to lately? He should be doing worse than her, right?
'It's empty.' When she visited his page, there was nothing uploaded there in the past seven or so months. All she could see was the bad comments left by her supporters about their divorce.
A faint pang of guilt assaulted her conscience. After all, she caused all these just so she could be with Liu De. Now that she thought about it, she never heard about him for so long. Where did he go? Did he leave the entertainment circle altogether?
Mo Fang felt at a loss when the question popped up. However, a moment later, she cursed. "Really stupid. But it's for the better. I don't wish to see him in the entertainment world anymore."
'I'll just feel guilty.'
After shaking her head. She exited the page. However, she did not leave the app. But stared blankly at it for some time.
A couple of minutes later, she just found herself logging into her ex-husband's account.
As expected, he still had not changed his username and password. What a silly man.
A blank page greeted her for eyes for some time as she waited for the contents to load. A circle that kept spinning and changing color every rotation occupied her screen for more than ten seconds. Not long after, pictures and letters emerged. And she was stunned.
It was not true that Zheng Xiang never uploaded or wrote anything in his account for months!
One two sevenno, thirteen. When she stopped scrolling through her phone, she couldn't help but feel dumbfounded after discovering that there were thirteen private videos uploaded. It seemed that all the videos were actually songs. Was he the one who composed them?
The woman trembled, and a feeling of numbness spread all over her body. She was having mixed feelings about the titles. She was moved, and felt a bit of regret. However, she also felt like the man was hopeless and a fool.
'Why wrote that you'll wait for someone who has already abandoned you...'
'What the heck is with the line 'I'll be here until I breathed my last'?'
'Does he know the titles are so cringeworthy? He's really making me feel ashamed on his behalf!'
The woman did not seem to notice how badly she was shaking and how hard she had bitten her lower lips.
'Right, Mo Fang, he's really an embarrassment'
