Chapter 133: You Did Something Bad, So Why Aren’t We Allowed to Comment?
As they bickered, all eyes turned to look at them. A voice that sounded quite lonely was heard. “Honestly, you have a biological mom who loves you. No wonder you have the confidence to look down on me.”
Although the voice was soft, all the rich ladies heard her and felt sympathy for her.
Ever since she announced that she was Mu Donglin’s fiancèe, news of her identity spread to almost everyone in the circle.
She was kidnapped at a young age and her mother died due to depression.
She grew up in the outskirts of the city and only returned home when she was an adult.
However, she was criticized for being uncultured. This time, she was being honest.
However, only she knew how she lived her life all these years.
Looks of condemnation kept appearing and Tong Yujia trembled in rage. “I…”
“Enough! You’re really too much!” A woman came up and said, “I can’t believe that a mother and her daughter are ganging up to bully an orphan who lost her mother at a young age. You should be ashamed. So what if your family is rich? Is your family as rich as the Mu Family?”
“Exactly. She’s also the fiancèe of the Mu Family. Who are you looking down on?”
“No matter how harsh your stepmother is, I’m sure that you have at least enough money to buy a piece of clothing. Even if you don’t, let me lend it to you!”
After knowing that she was the fiancèe of the Mu Family, everyone wanted to curry favor with her.
The Tong Family might be ignorant, but they were not!
So many people started talking that the mother and daughter of the Tong Family were rendered speechless.
Li Beinian looked extremely touched and said, “Thank you.”
“Listen to me. It’s better to have less contact with such ill-mannered people.”
“So what if they are dressed from head to toe in famous brands? These nouveau riche achieved success from cozying up to powerful people. No wonder they are so rude.”
What was meant between the lines was full of contempt.
Mrs. Tong’s face turned green.
Although the Lin Family was nothing compared to the Mu Family, it was still one of the top families in Guang City.
It was true that their family had been relying on the Lin Family for business and their lives got better each year after working with them for a decade.
She just did not expect that people would criticize them for it!
Tong Yujia’s face grew sullen. “You…”
Before she could say anything, Mrs. Tong held her back. “Enough. Let’s go back quickly after you bought your clothes. Some people think that they can curry favor with the Mu Family by defending her, but who knows whether it is even worth it. They aren’t even married yet. A fiancèe is a fiancèe and not a wife. In the future, when they realize they offended the Lin Family and failed to gain favor with the Mu Family, they will be the ones regretting their actions.”
This warning triggered many people.
The wives of rich families who just spoke up for Li Beinian suddenly fell silent.
However, very quickly, someone said, “Who do you think we are? We are just bystanders who saw something unjust. That girl only wanted to buy clothes. Why did she have to endure your criticism?”
“Yes, you insulted her for not being able to afford these clothes and made her sound pathetic.”
“You did something bad, so why aren’t we allowed to comment?”
Mrs. Tong’s face fell. She trembled with anger as took out a card and slammed it on the table. “I want this dress. Wrap it up for me.”
After looking around, the salesperson awkwardly said, “Actually, I think that judging from Miss Tong’s height, this dress might not be suitable for her. Miss Li’s skin is whiter and she’s taller, so this dress will suit her better. I would recommend this pink dress instead as it will fit Miss Tong’s appearance and temperament better.”
Everyone looked at the flaming red dress.
It was embellished with small diamonds and shone under the chandelier.
It had thin criss-cross shoulder straps and was sexy yet conservative.
On the other hand, the pink dress was a satin evening dress. It had an irregularly shaped tube top dress with a high part and a low part.
It had intricate Chaofeng embroidery and looked luxurious. The entire dress was reminiscent of the Xia Dynasty.
However, the irregular skirt looked a little short. It was decorated with white sheer flowers which gave it a cute and lively look.
Tong Yujia’s face darkened. “What do you mean? This pink dress is so childish. Are you saying that I’m childish?”
