Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)

Chapter 181

Momo Soo seemed to have realized this as well, and she tried to pass the topic over to Yuri Zhang and Fade Chen. But Chessca Tan was obviously not interested in the two, so it didn't take more than 5 minutes before she was talking to Momo Soo once again.

Moreover, she's repeatedly mentioned the Soo Family's business, promising that she'll go visit them in South Bay City whenever she had the chance, and how their two families should collaborate with each other. What was meant to be a leisurely activity had turned into a business conference.

Momo Soo really didn't want to talk about it, so she answered everything hastily, hoping to just let it pass. Little did she know, Chessca Tan's face had turned into a darker shade of grey.

They were out for the entire day, and Chessca Tan had originally planned to bring them home to rest overnight while they'd continue with the trip the next day. But just as they were about to arrive home, Momo Soo received a phone call and said apologetically to Chessca Tan, "Senior, I'm sorry. My friend posted on social media, saying that a friend of mine from South Bay City came to Hanover City. They have invited me to dinner, so I won't be staying at your place today."

"A friend from South Bay City!" Chessca Tan exclaimed as she asked, "Are they business partners of the Soo Family?"

Momo Soo shook her head and said, "Just a high school classmate of mine, she came to Hanover City for a trip."

Chessca Tan hummed in reply, then said, "Wait! How about I fetch you there?"

"That won't be necessary. My friend is staying nearby at a place called the Rujia Hotel, which is just within walking distance." Momo Soo answered, smiling.

Chessca Tan's haughty expression froze when she heard the name Rujia Hotel, instantly acknowledging that her friend was not someone of high social class. She was immediately thrown off and said, "In that case, I'll drop you guys off here. Momo, please give me a call if you would like to make plans for tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you very much, Senior," Momo Soo replied.

Chessca Tan opened the car door for the three of them to get down. They parted ways after waving their goodbyes as Chessca Tan drove away.

Both Momo Soo and Yuri Zhang felt at ease as they watched Chessca Tan leave. They let out a sigh of relief, a smile finally reappearing on their faces.

Fade Chen smirked as he looked at the girls and said to Momo Soo, "Momo, since when have you learned how to lie? Let me guess, you don't really have a friend at the Rujia Hotel, do you?"

Momo Soo threw a glare in Fade Chen's direction, waving her small, clenched fist at him and said, "You're such a know- it- all, brother-in-law, and yet you pretend like you don't know anything."

Right after that, Momo Soo's expression darkened as she said in a low tone, "Senior Tan had invited me here several times before, and I thought that she'd be enthusiastic and welcoming to see us here. I never expected her to have only been interested in my family's business. Starting from yesterday, she couldn't stop mentioning about having both our families engage in business collaboration."

Yuri Zhang fell silent a moment before she spoke up, her voice as light as a feather, "Momo, don't feel too disappointed. Senior was quite welcoming, she's already brought us to so many places." Kindness came naturally for Yuri Zhang as she always searched for the best in people.

Momo Soo curled her lips and said, "I wasn't criticizing her. It's just, just..."

She ran out of words to describe what she was feeling.

Fade Chen had noticed this, as he smiled faintly and said, "It's just that you wanted a pure friendship, but you didn't know that the other party is merely taking advantage of you."

Momo Soo nodded when he heard his explanation and said, "Yes, that's precisely what I meant."

Fade Chen said, "Momo, I understand where you're coming from, but there's no such thing as a pure friendship. The entire society's made up of people taking advantage of each other. Your senior may be a little flawed with her ways, but it's perfectly normal. Because this is... society."

"Society!" The two innocent girls were processing what Fade Chen had said with their heads lowered, digesting their first lesson of entering society.

After a while, Momo Soo lifted her chin and flashed a smile at Fade Chen, "Brother-in-law, I understand now. I'll be more considerate in the future."

Yuri Zhang nodded solemnly as well.

Seeing that the two women have figured it out, Fade Chen changed the topic with a hearty laugh and said, "It's getting late. Also, it's been a whole day. I'm famished."

"Me too!" Yuri Zhang nodded with a smile.

Momo Soo pointed generously at a five-star hotel not far away and said, "Let's go have ourselves a lavish meal."

With their salary, a five- star hotel was considered nothing, so they headed there for a good meal and stayed overnight in three separate suites, finally getting a good night's rest.

The next morning, Momo Soo contacted Chessca Tan, inviting her over to join and hang out with her classmates.

Surely enough, Chessca Tan found an excuse for herself and refused.

In the end, Momo Soo and the others set out on their own. Without Chessca Tan with them, things were a little complicated, but they were truly having the time of their lives. Besides, what's not to like about going on a trip without someone who couldn't stop yapping in your ears about a corporate collaboration?

Just like that, another day was gone. The gang went around to all the famous scenic spots in Hanover City and didn't return to the hotel to rest until around four in the evening.

Who could've expected, Momo Soo received a phone call from Chessca Tan in the evening. She invited her to a gala that was going to take place later at night, with all the attendees well-known socialites of Hanover City.

Momo Soo knew, right off the bat, that the gala was nothing more than a guise for a wealthy socialites' party to expand their contacts. Tactfully, she refused right away, because she wasn't at all interested in the event.

However, Chessca Tan persevered and she was persistent to the extent that Momo Soo felt sorry for rejecting her any further. Finally, she accepted her invitation., but with the condition that Fade Chen and Yuri Zhang tagged along as well.

Chessca Tan wasn't planning to invite them in the first place, but since Momo Soo had insisted for them to come, she had no choice but to agree to her request.

So, the three of them took a shower, got changed into their casual attire, and took a cab to the venue of where the party was being held. None of them were fancily dressed, since none of them

were particularly interested in the event.

The party was held in a luxurious villa by the riverside. The host was a wealthy local businessman, and his invitees were the other rich socialites of Hanover City.

Chessca Tan was waiting for Momo Soo at the villa entrance. Her expression soured when saw that the gang had arrived in a cab in clothes that made them look nothing but cheap.

Momo Soo's attire was considered decent, to say the least. Her clothes were merely ordinary, but since she was wealthy, her ordinary clothes were all branded and not too shabby to wear to a party like this. The same couldn't be said for Yuri Zhang and Fade Chen though, as Chessca Tan could barely hide the glare in her eyes.

She could tell that the clothes they were wearing didn't cost more than two hundred yuan per piece, and at most five hundred yuan in total. They looked as if two beggars were entering the Imperial Palace.

Chessca Tan wanted to pretend that she didn't know the two, but after all, they came with Momo Soo. She had no choice to put on a smile as she went to welcome them. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

However, after saying their pleasantries, Chessca Tan quickened her pace and immediately pulled Momo Soo away to chat. She deliberately left Yuri Zhang and Fade

Chen behind.
